Chapter 89

Xiao Yan also nodded. Time must be seized now, as Long Yi’s fate outside was still unknown.

Xiao Yan found a direction with more blood qi turbulence and sat down in a meditative posture. The rune in his hand slowly floated in front of him. The rune looked extremely bizarre, with a very peculiar shape. Each line seemed to have been drawn with great effort. If one looked closely, anyone would marvel at the perfection of the lines.

The person who created this rune must be quite formidable, Xiao Yan thought to himself. Then, he slowly closed his eyes, and his soul power surged into the spirit rune. Instantly, powerful energy radiated from the spirit rune, and the surrounding demonic blood qi rushed towards the demonic spirit rune like a tidal wave.

After the spirit rune was activated by Xiao Yan, its size suddenly became much larger. The demonic blood qi, after being purified by the energy emitted from the spirit rune, had its violent factors completely cleansed, instantly transforming into an extremely pure energy, which then continuously flowed into Xiao Yan’s body.

This pure energy was extremely clean, without a trace of impurity, which was greatly beneficial to Xiao Yan, as it significantly accelerated his absorption and cultivation. The concentration of demonic blood qi in the surroundings was extremely high, and the quantity was countless. After being purified by the spirit rune, it surged into Xiao Yan’s body like a tide, gradually making his body more abundant.

...

While Xiao Yan was cultivating, outside the side space, Long Yi, believing Xiao Yan to be dead, continued to纠缠着虫族和妖瞳魔蛇族，久久不肯罢休。

经过几天的纠缠，Long Yi still achieved considerable results, with the insect and demon-eyed snake races suffering heavy losses. Because of this, both sides viewed Long Yi as a thorn in their side and pursued him together, gradually forcing him into a desperate situation.

In a valley, Long Yi was covered in blood, gasping for breath, clearly severely injured. Suddenly, three figures appeared above Long Yi, clearly the strong ones from the insect and demon-eyed snake races.

"Beast! We've finally found your hiding place. Today, I, Ma Li, will see how you can escape." In the air, a figure wearing a robe embroidered with countless snake patterns and with black skin waved his sleeve and pointed at Long Yi, scolding him. Clearly, Long Yi's actions over these days had thoroughly enraged them.

Long Yi raised his golden eyes and looked at the figure speaking. This figure was the one whose subtle aura Xiao Yan had sensed in the blood-colored cloud layer, the leader of the demon-eyed snake race, named Ma Li, whose strength was above the Two-Star Dou Di, extremely formidable. The two figures beside Ma Li were the insect king of the insect race and the green-blooded insect... This time, Long Yi was in an extremely dangerous situation.

Knowing he could not win, Long Yi transformed into his true form and fled into the distance. The three figures in the air seemed to have anticipated Long Yi’s escape and quickly pursued him.

"Beast, can you still escape now?"

Suddenly, in front of Long Yi, several dozen black shadows rapidly appeared, some from the insect race and some from the demon-eyed snake race.
