Cultivation is just so scientific!

He sent a provocative thought towards Venerable Huijing, then his Nascent Soul Dharma Form flew towards the sky.

Venerable Huijing followed in pursuit, and the two Nascent Soul Dharma Forms quickly left the range of Qianye Temple, rising into the Thirty-Three Heavens.

Li Shiming, controlling his avatar Li Yuanba, grabbed Venerable Huijing's body. At this time, the Bodhi Hall was devoid of that strange energy barrier, and even the Formation was in a precarious state.

For him, this was tantamount to being completely open.

The drone satellite system was monitoring the situation at Qianye Temple at that time, with many monks in the Arhat Realm flying in the air, and quite a few monks were heading towards the Bodhi Hall.

It turned out that no Venerables had shown up, but Li Shiming did not believe that Qianye Temple only had two Venerables; there must be others in seclusion, although it was unknown when they would emerge.

He didn't have much time left, and he didn't hesitate any longer. Carrying the body of Venerable Huijing, he cast "Step by Step Lotus" and left the Bodhi Hall.

As soon as he appeared within Qianye Temple, he was detected by the Sect Protection Array, which was in a fully active state due to Venerable Huike's earlier warning.

He constantly maintained "Divine Eye Skill" and "Telepathy," especially the "Divine Eye Skill" whose effect at that time was unimaginably great.

The Spiritual Power Pattern of the Sect Protection Array was clearly visible in his eyes. Ignoring the monks who spotted his figure and were chasing after him, his form flickered incessantly through the Spiritual Power Pattern.

With "Step by Step Lotus," unless a Venerable appeared, he had no fear of any monk.

The array could not hinder him; white lotuses appeared and disappeared continuously in the array, his figure moving on these lotuses towards the outer parts of Qianye Temple.

"He is casting 'Step by Step Lotus', activate the No-Space Formation immediately!" a monk shouted loudly.

With the foundation of Qianye Temple, there shouldn't be any chaos when encountering an enemy, but the monks were thrown into confusion upon discovering that their enemy was Venerable Huijing.

Thus, when Li Yuanba's figure appeared, their reaction was delayed.

When Li Yuanba was a hundred meters away from leaving the Sect Protection Array of Qianye Temple, he found that he couldn't cast "Step by Step Lotus." The application of space power had been forbidden, rendering the Divine Foot Skill useless in this area.

Moreover, the activation of the No-Space Formation also prohibited flying.

He landed on the roof of a building, stepping on the glazed tiles, his body feeling somewhat heavy.

He was affected, and the rest of the monks were affected as well. Such an array was impartial.

But there were too many monks in Qianye Temple, and two Arhats appeared in front of him.

The two Arhats, being of mid-stage Arhat strength, were fully mobilizing the spiritual power within their bodies. Their aim was not to defeat Li Yuanba, but to delay him.

As long as they could stall for two breaths' time, other fellow disciples would arrive.

No matter how strong Li Yuanba was, he couldn't possibly go against all the monks of Qianye Temple within its gates.

Li Shiming knew this as well and made Li Yuanba exert force through his feet. The glazed tiles beneath him cracked, and his body lunged at the two Arhats.

The two Arhats formed Buddha Seals with their hands. Holding their dharma objects not for attack but to form a field of Buddha light with the help of the Buddha Seals.

As Li Yuanba lunged, a Third Grade Sword Base appeared in his hand. His Supreme Yang Sword Intent combined with the late-stage Golden Core Body Refinement strength of his primary body, Li Shiming, made even his body refining strength alone surpass Li Shiming's before any breakthrough, especially since his Sword Intent was stronger.

Being unable to fly made his movements resemble more those of a mortal ranger than a cultivator, which happened to be advantageous for Li Yuanba, who had cultivated the "Sword Demon Secret Manual."

He didn't hold back in the slightest, and there was no room for mercy at this moment. In the late stage of Body Refinement, combined with Supreme Yang Sword Intent, a Third Grade top-tier magical artifact Third Grade Sword Base, as well as the close-combat sword techniques from the "Sword Demon Secret Manual," his assault was far more powerful than the two Arhats had anticipated.

His figure passed between the two Arhats, and behind him, the two Arhats were split into two, their magical artifacts were also cleaved in mid-air and dropped to the ground in a severely damaged state, having lost much of their spiritual essence.

The two Arhats couldn't even withstand a single breath, something that none had expected.

Having bypassed the two Arhats, there were no monks of significant strength ahead of him. He didn't bother to strike, moving his feet in a mysterious way, weaving through the spiritual power lines of the Qianye Temple's Sect Protection Array.

Eventually, he passed through a barrier, and the pressure on his body lightened; he had left the Qianye Temple's Sect Protection Array.

White lotuses appeared again beneath his feet. He glanced back at Qianye Temple, where already quite a number of Arhats were chasing after him.

However, since the Sect Protection Array's No-Space Formation had not been deactivated in time, these Arhats could only leap across the ground and buildings. It was impossible for them to catch up with him since he had mastered the Divine Foot Skill.

Nevertheless, he didn't dare to linger because he sensed the power of the Qianye Temple's Sect Protection Array rapidly increasing.

An Array Master had begun to control the Sect Protection Array. Had he left just a moment later, even possessing Li Shiming's life-saving magical artifact IBMz15, and the help of his "divine eye," it would have been very difficult to break out of the Sect Protection Array in a short time.

The power difference between an array controlled by an Array Master and one not controlled was vast.

Because this matter involved a confrontation between Venerables and both Venerables were from Qianye Temple, the Array Master didn't react at first. By the time he did and was ready to trap Li Yuanba, Li Yuanba had already left the Sect Protection Array.

Although the Bodhi Hall was located near the middle of Qianye Temple, Li Yuanba initially used "Step by Step Lotus" to depart. It was only at the last hundred meters that the influence of the No-Space Formation forced him to switch to leaping.

This allowed him a very short time span from leaving the Bodhi Hall to escaping the Sect Protection Array.

He exerted his full strength in using "Step by Step Lotus" in one direction. The state of the great battle between the Nascent Soul Dharma Forms of Venerable Huike and Venerable Huijing was still unknown. Should Venerable Huike notice his escape, with Venerable Huike's Divine Foot Skill, it was still possible to catch up to him.

He remembered that in front of Venerable Huike, his "Step by Step Lotus" had been inexplicably unable to be executed.

He didn't know how Venerable Huike was able to limit his use of "Step by Step Lotus," what conditions were involved in this restriction, but he didn't dare to take a chance; he just wanted to get as far away from Venerable Huike as possible.

While he was using "Step by Step Lotus" to escape, he sensed a soaring presence coming from afar towards the direction of Qianye Temple.

"The Ancestor is coming!" He sensed that this presence was exactly that of Ancestor Lu.

As a Nascent Soul Ancestor of Senluo Sect, although direct incursions into the territory of the Righteous Path had limited consequences for them, such actions were still very risky.

He was touched by this thought, as he didn't want Ancestor Lu to take risks for him.

He took out the communication plaque, as they were beyond the range of the Senluo Sect's Identity Jade Disc. He could only use the communication plaque now.

He sent a message to the sect through the communication plaque, stating that he had escaped from Qianye Temple and asked the sect to relay this message to Ancestor Lu.

Li Shiming did not wish to have his alter ego, Li Yuanba, meet Ancestor Lu just yet, especially since Li Yuanba was holding the body of Venerable Huijing; it was a difficult situation to explain.

Moreover, the distance between Li Shiming's main body and his alter ego, Li Yuanba, was already very close. Once they met, Li Yuanba could hand over the body of Venerable Huijing to Li Shiming, and then he would be able to meet Ancestor Lu.

Behind Li Yuanba, numerous speedy Arhats were also in pursuit.

Unfortunately, in this generation, the monks who practiced the Divine Foot Skill had already been slain by Li Yuanba; apart from Venerable Huike, there were no other monks in Qianye Temple who practiced the Divine Foot Skill.

Thus, they couldn't even think about catching up to Li Yuanba, let alone seeing his figure.
