186: Escape

There were two climbers who reached the top of the Immortal Island this time: Li Qi first, followed by Ji Luojia. It was this one-step difference that led to vastly different circumstances for both parties.

The immense pressure on the mountaintop did not slow Li Qi’s pace. He quickly searched all areas and reaped a full harvest of benefits.

However, Ji Luojia was different.

A massive pressure constantly enveloped his body, making his steps falter and preventing him from moving quickly. Even a cripple could run faster than him.

Ji Luojia also discovered the two side halls without Restrictions, but when he happily walked in, he found that they had already been completely ransacked, cleaner than if a dog had licked them!

Even a mouse would shake its head!

"I'm so angry!"

"I'm truly furious!!!"

And when he saw the completely bare Spirit Medicine field, he almost fainted.

He didn't need to think to know that there must have been many high-year Spirit Medicine here, but they had already left him.

"It must be that Li Qi from Four Seas Sect who did this... Couldn't he have left me even a little bit?"

"So, I just made a trip for nothing?"

"Bearing such immense pressure... just to come here to exercise?"

Entering a treasure mountain and returning empty-handed, Ji Luojia felt grief and indignation in his heart. He could only descend the mountain dejectedly. After seeing Li Qi's figure again, an unconcealed look of resentment appeared on Ji Luojia's face.

But whether it was resentment or indignation, Ji Luojia had no intention of fighting Li Qi.

Li Qi’s strength was the strongest Ji Luojia had ever seen, far exceeding the level an Yan Fa Realm expert should possess.

Perhaps before, when Li Qi alone suppressed many of them outside, Ji Luojia still felt some defiance in his heart. But after he saw Li Qi's subsequent performances, he knew that the gap between them was too vast to be measured by reason.

If he really attacked Li Qi... he would definitely be beaten to death!

So, after Ji Luojia glanced at Li Qi resentfully a few times, he took a deep breath and no longer looked at him, but instead spoke to the Disciples of Purple Firmament Palace.

"Let's prepare. The situation outside the Immortal Island might be a bit complicated; many people might have already gathered."

"Wait for the people from Four Seas Sect to go out first and stir up the situation, then we'll rush out amidst the chaos."

The appearance of the Immortal Island had already attracted the attention of many people, and it seemed that Evil Shadow Sect had deliberately spread the news, bringing even more people here.

Ji Luojia was helpless about this. He knew what Evil Shadow Sect’s people were planning: Ding Yueqian's gains here were not good, and since he wasn't doing well... he wouldn't let others have it easy!

After a period of rest, Li Qi's condition also returned to its best. He slowly stood up, looking at the other Disciples of Four Seas Sect, and his brows furrowed slightly.

These people had been staying halfway up the Immortal Island, where the Restriction pressure was not small, so their condition had barely recovered.

Moreover, the situation outside the Immortal Island was probably already very chaotic, and there would undoubtedly be a large number of people waiting outside!

Li Qi personally was not afraid of those people; even if he couldn't defeat them, he could escape. But the people from Four Seas Sect were another matter.

These people were not only in poor condition, but there were too many of them, making them too large a target. Once a fight broke out, Li Qi might not be able to look after them all.

"In that case, I can only make you suffer a bit first," Li Qi said slowly.

Liao Shi and the others were startled. He didn't know what Li Qi meant by 'suffer' and was about to ask, but Li Qi directly interrupted him.

"Alright, the rest is up to me. All of you just stay put and don't move around."

As he spoke, Li Qi raised his hand and clenched it towards the people of Four Seas Sect. Blood-colored realm barriers appeared one after another, enveloping their figures and temporarily restraining them.

At such a sudden change, everyone was startled. Li Qi said no more, raised his hand, and directly pulled all these people into his Qingming Heaven!

Li Qi's Divine Ability, Body Displacement in Azure Heavens, had absorbed a large amount of Void Laws. Qingming Heaven had not only become more solid and concealed but also much larger. It was no problem to put a dozen people inside.

As for why he first used Three Thousand Blood Realms to restrain these people, it was also intentional on Li Qi's part.

Three Thousand Blood Realms not only restrained their movements but also obscured their view of the outside world... because Li Qi's Qingming Heaven had too many good things!

Just the thousands of years old Spirit Medicine he had dug from the Immortal Island palace were not convenient for these people to see.

After taking in the people from Four Seas Sect, Li Qi's figure lightly darted, also entering Qingming Heaven. He looked at the blood-colored realm barriers in this azure space and spoke to the people within them.

"Just now outside, it was not convenient for me to say more."

"Now you are all within the Divine Ability where I am hiding. Please wait here for a moment. I will release you once I break through the encirclement."

Li Qi's voice penetrated the realm barrier and reached everyone's ears, and the originally somewhat flustered crowd quickly calmed down.

During this trip to the Realm Sea, Li Qi had already established sufficient prestige, and everyone believed him without doubt, responding one after another.

"So that's it, Senior Brother, rest assured, we will stay here quietly."

"This matter is entirely up to Senior Brother!"

"Senior Brother, feel free to break through. If the situation becomes critical, release us; we can still contribute."

Li Qi nodded slightly and said no more. He manipulated Qingming Heaven, hidden deep within the Void Realm, and drove this world towards the outside of the Immortal Island...
