  Just then, Lie Tong finally let out a breath of relief. The battle had only lasted for a hundred breaths, but it was enough to leave Lie Tong feeling weak and frightened. Especially with Qing An's spirit sword, if not for the speed of his soul guide, he might have been the one to die. However, this also showed that Lie Tong had great confidence in himself! Looking at the two corpses, Lie Tong's thick eyebrows furrowed slightly. At this time, both Qing Li and Qing An were already dead, which made Lie Tong somewhat worried. As he hesitated, suddenly Lie Tong seemed to have thought of something, and hastily looked towards the direction of the cave, quickly rushing off.

  Half a time later, besides the corpses of Qing Li and Qing An, there was another corpse, which was Chen Hong. However, at this time, the position was different. Qing Li was ten zhang away, while Chen Hong and Qing An were less than one zhang apart. A spiritual sword pierced Qing An's abdomen, and another spiritual sword fell to the ground, giving people a false impression that the three men had killed each other. Chen Hong had struck down Qing Li, then fought with Qing An, and finally they both died together.

  Lieteng Yujian hastily arranged everything and made a swift escape, fleeing the scene. He didn't know if this arrangement would deceive Qinglin's grandfather or not, but he had to get away from there as far as possible!

  Lie Teng had long since memorized the map of the Western region in his mind, and he flew southwest without hesitation. On the western map, there was a large city called Chi Yan in the southwest, which was the closest big city to this place. Lie Teng thought that only by entering that city could he avoid Qing Lin's grandfather.

  It was unclear whether Lie Teng's luck was too bad or what, but in less than an hour of his frantic sprint, a Qizong disciple arrived on the scene where Qing An and others were gathered. This person had come to check on the situation, and if nothing had appeared yet, he would give up his stakeout and let Qing Li and Qing An call back Qizong. However, upon seeing the scene on the ground, the disciple's expression changed slightly. He carefully examined the three corpses and discovered something unusual. In a hurry, he flew back to Qizong to report the news. If this person had come a month later, it would have been impossible to discern anything, as the bodies would have already rotted. But fate had other plans, and Lie Teng found himself in crisis once again.

  Lie Teng didn't know what happened here, if he knew, he would probably scold loudly. If he had come out at night, there wouldn't have been any more trouble later. Lie Teng rushed to the Blazing City, holding a Ling Stone in each hand, absorbing the spiritual energy from the stones to recover the spiritual energy consumed by his sword while flying.

  After three days, Lie Tong was still flying with his sword, but the speed had slowed down significantly. The absorption of spiritual energy was far from keeping up with the consumption rate, and Lie Tong's swordsmanship was extremely physically demanding. This made Lie Tong anxious, fearing that there were pursuers behind him. However, at this time, the spiritual energy consumption was too much, and he could no longer support himself for long. Looking down at the plain below, Lie Tong gritted his teeth and rapidly descended, sitting cross-legged under a large boulder. He took out a jade bottle, poured out an elixir pill, which was a Rejuvenating Elixir that restored spiritual energy. At this time, Lie Tong had no choice but to use it. After swallowing the Rejuvenating Elixir, Lie Tong sat cross-legged, holding several spirit stones to recover his spiritual energy.

  Even with the Rebirth Spirit Dan, it took Lie Teng a whole day to recover his spiritual power. Only when his Dantian was full again did he open his eyes, and after putting away the remaining spirit stones in his storage ring, he called out Qingjian and prepared to fly on his sword. But before he could take off, he suddenly sensed a figure in front of him. This moment made Lie Teng's heart skip a beat, and he took a deep breath, staring straight at the figure with his eyes fixed on it. If it was someone chasing after him, Qingjian would take off at any time.

  "Ah!" Lie Teng's heart skipped a beat, the figure that was previously in the distance suddenly appeared before him within a hundred meters. This person seemed to be able to move instantly, which made Lie Teng's heart tremble with fear. What kind of powerful being was this? At this moment, Lie Teng also saw the person's face clearly - a head full of white hair, yet with a youthful complexion, wearing a black robe that was somewhat disheveled. However, as Lie Teng looked at him, he felt a sense of vicissitude. Lie Teng stared at the person in trepidation, forgetting to escape. As he looked at the person, Lie Teng had an inexplicable feeling in his heart, as if he had suddenly aged many years.

  "The Great Way is vast and obscure..." The sound of the Great Way song was like a heavenly music that echoed in Lie Teng's mind, turning into a refreshing breeze that woke him up. At this time, the old man was already ten meters away from Lie Teng. A hint of terror appeared in Lie Teng's eyes, his body slightly trembling. Although the old man did not look at Lie Teng, he made Lie Teng feel an unspeakable sense of crisis, as if this person could crush him with just one finger.

  As if sensing Lie Tong's gaze, the walking old man slowly turned his head and glanced at Lie Tong. This glance caused Lie Tong's spiritual energy to surge violently, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at the old man in terror, backing away repeatedly.

  "Little friend, meeting each other is fate. Tell me, what have you been pursuing your whole life?" The old man suddenly stopped and turned around, his weathered eyes falling on Lie Teng.

  Lie Teng's gaze suddenly became dazed, and at the sound of the old man's voice, Lie Teng's mind fell into a state of confusion. The rapid events of these years flashed through his mind, and the scenes of his loved ones' deaths seemed to be right before his eyes. Gradually, Lie Teng's gaze became filled with murderous intent, his face twisted in a fierce scowl, and he growled: "Become stronger, take revenge!"

  "What about after you've become stronger and taken your revenge?" The old man's gaze was as still as an ancient well, without a single ripple, indifferently staring at Lie Tian.

  Lieteng's face suddenly contorted and he thought of the book that Chen Hong had obtained, and he blurted out: 'Dao!'

  The old man's calm eyes lit up, and his gaze at Lie Teng was filled with surprise. He asked again: "What is the Tao?" However, after saying this, a hint of self-mockery appeared on the corner of his mouth.

  "The way is just the way" Lie Teng's emotions couldn't help but recall the Great Way Song, and he said softly.

  "The way is just the way" The old man's gaze paused, muttering to himself, "Rumbling" as if suddenly there were countless thunderbolts striking him from the void. His body shook violently, almost falling to the ground. His eyes widened in shock, taking a few steps back, staring at Lie Teng in disbelief. All he could hear was his own rapid breathing, muttering: "The way is just the way!! The way is just the way, so that's how it is! Who would have thought that after traveling through all realms, an old man like me would be enlightened by a young cultivator? Fate plays tricks on people, fate plays tricks on people!"

  The old man looked up at the sky and burst out laughing, and with his laughter that was either excited or desolate, a majestic aura suddenly rose to the heavens, actually forcefully parting the clouds in the sky. A terrifying aura that spread out shocked countless powerful cultivators in the cultivation world!

  "Heavenly fate toys with humans, I've spent my whole life understanding the Tao, yet I'm not as good as a low-level cultivator!" The old man laughed and suddenly tears streamed down his face, it was unclear whether he was crying from joy or remembering some sorrowful event, making others feel uncomfortable to watch.

  The old man had left without knowing when, and when Lie Teng woke up, he only heard a vicissitude sound echoing in his ears: "Today, I have tied the knot of fate with you. If we meet again, it will be to understand this cause and effect."

  Lieteng looked around in shock and didn't see anyone, he couldn't remember what he said before, if it wasn't for the sound echoing in his ears, he would have thought it was just a dream. He muttered to himself in confusion: "Cause and effect? What did I do before?" After a moment of contemplation, Lieteng had no clue, so he shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's go to Flame City first." Immediately, he flew off on his sword again.
