I Accumulate Spirit Roots for My Next Life-Chapter 208 - 108: Life and Death Pursuit

The direction the three people were flying in was directly opposite to Li Jizhou, heading west.

Li Jizhou sensed their unusual lifespan from afar, lowered his flying altitude, deliberately veered north to avoid them, and remained vigilant at all times.

"Heh heh~ Blood, True Core’s blood!" Suddenly, the one in the middle, who had no sense of lifespan, looked at Li Jizhou who was avoiding them, his eyes gradually turning red.

"Sir, there is endless blood in the west, even blood from Golden Core and Nascent Soul. We should not delay the Demon Monarch’s important affairs," the dry and thin old man beside him, looking gentle and kind, also had a flicker of ferocity in his gaze towards Li Jizhou, but ultimately spoke to persuade.

"Hehe~ Since the sir has set his eyes on him, casually absorb him dry then. That guy saw us and ran, clearly with a guilty conscience," a beautiful woman with endless allure on the other side laughed indifferently.

"Fine, but leave the Yin Souls for me!" The dry and thin old man couldn’t resist either.

"Whoosh~" The next moment, the two of them suddenly accelerated towards Li Jizhou, leaving the woman standing in place, playing with her hair expectantly.

Li Jizhou immediately sensed their change.

At this moment, the speed they erupted made Li Jizhou incredibly shocked.

Especially the one with no sense of lifespan, his speed was twice as fast as the escape speed of the Golden Sun Sect’s Supreme Elder he once witnessed.

"Pop!" Without any hesitation, the Tier Three Teleportation Talisman already held in his hand was instantly crushed.

"Ah!!!" The lifespan-less individual let out a furious roar upon seeing Li Jizhou vanish instantly.

With complete rage and no sanity left, his form suddenly changed into a three-zhang-tall Corpse King glowing with golden light.

Before the thin old man could stop him, the golden Corpse King had already slapped his own head, and a mark of bloody light shot skyward and disappeared in an instant.

Three breaths later, he sharply looked towards the direction six thousand miles north, his form reverted to an ordinary cultivator’s, and sped away.

The dry and thin old man gritted his teeth and glared at the woman: "It’s all because of you, you wretch. Knowing the Corpse King is difficult to control, you still fanned the flames. If this delays the Demon Monarch’s affairs, even you succubus won’t be able to save yourself!"

With that said, he hurriedly chased after the Corpse King.

"Hehe~ It’s hard to come out once, if I don’t drain a few men, how could I be satisfied?

Even if I die, so what?" With a charming smile, the woman transformed into a seemingly weak Foundation Establishment cultivator and floated towards the nearby Immortal City.

Li Jizhou, after crushing the second Teleportation Talisman, was already six thousand miles away.

However, before he could catch his breath, an invisible mark suddenly descended from the sky.

He could feel that something just imprinted on him.

But examining carefully again, he gained nothing.

"Whoosh~" Suddenly, a ray of escape light came into view.

Li Jizhou’s face dramatically changed, and he hurriedly crushed another Teleportation Talisman.

"Who exactly are you? Why won’t you stop chasing me?"

After changing direction again and appearing three thousand miles away, Li Jizhou hastily searched for possible marks.

"Whoosh~" However, the opponent’s speed far exceeds the Late Stage of Golden Core, giving Li Jizhou no time.

The figure appeared once again.

Li Jizhou’s heart trembled, this time, he consecutively crushed five Teleportation Talismans, instantly fleeing fifteen thousand miles away.

"Xiaobai!" As soon as he steadied himself, he hurriedly called out Xiaobai.

He was certain the opponent used some special method to mark him; if the mark couldn’t be removed, even running to the ends of the earth wouldn’t help him hide.

Bai Yi, able to burn Divine Souls, might be able to clear the mark.

Soon, Bai Yi’s Spirit Flame nearly traversed inside and out through Li Jizhou.

"Ah!!!" However, before Li Jizhou could celebrate having Bai Yi, who could burn Divine Souls, the opponent’s figure appeared once more.

"..." Li Jizhou felt a sense of crisis for the first time in his life.

No longer hesitating, changing direction once again, he quickly crushed five Teleportation Talismans.

At this moment, Li Jizhou’s heart was already faintly pained.

A Tier Three Teleportation Talisman alone costs nearly three hundred Middle Grade Spirit Stones in materials.

Now for this untimely disaster, he had already spent over three thousand Middle Grade Spirit Stones!

The main concern was that he had a total of twenty Teleportation Talismans, which were absolutely sufficient for occasional escapes.

But now, they weren’t enough.

"Xiaobai can’t clear the mark!"

Li Jizhou forced himself to calm down, but no amount of thinking revealed why the opponent wouldn’t stop chasing him.

"Could it be a Nascent Soul True Monarch sensing the Celestial Dao Cage in my Dantian?"

"Perhaps my lifespan sense is unable to detect the lifespan of a Nascent Soul True Monarch?" With thoughts racing, there was no definitive answer.

Seeing the opponent closing in again, Li Jizhou immediately headed towards Yan Kingdom’s northern region, towards Jiaoyang Immortal City guarded by a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

Once inside the Immortal City, he hurriedly released Han Zhuo’s aura and blood essence amid the crowd, and merged into them.

"Whoosh~" To his surprise, the opponent completely ignored the Nascent Soul guard within the Immortal City, still charging in,

and in an instant entered the Immortal City,

not daring to rely on the Immortal City’s guard further, he immediately activated the chessboard array he had long prepared under his feet.

Tier Three Teleportation Talismans can set direction, but at most three thousand miles.

However, the Tier Three chessboard teleportation arrays researched in recent years can reach ten thousand miles.

The drawback is the directional inaccuracy due to insufficient refinement at present, leading to high randomness.

At this point, it must be used.

He couldn’t let the opponent get too close; otherwise, if the opponent had space-confinement type divine abilities, his teleportation would be ineffective, becoming fish on the chopping board.

"Shua~" A flash of light, Li Jizhou vanished in the surprised eyes of those around him.

"Hua~" Li Jizhou appeared again, surrounded by a surge of heat.

Upon closer look, everything around was engulfed in vast, light green flames.

"Fire Domain, Third Layer!" Li Jizhou’s heart tightened. Just as he was about to release his Mana Shield, he suddenly realized that his current Body Refining Fourth Layer physique seemed able to withstand the light green flames.

However, his clothing instantly turned to ash.

He stood naked amidst the raging fire.

Still shaken, he naturally didn’t care about such trivial matters. His only concern was whether the opponent might pursue him again.

He decided to test the Third Layer’s fiery impact on his body. Previously, Bai Yi’s body-burning was merely Spirit Fire, affecting the Divine Soul; he didn’t dare use True Flame, but now he could try.

If they could still pursue him over thousands of miles, Li Jizhou truly wouldn’t know how to plan.

He even vaguely considered the necessity of enhancing his spirit root with points in future lifetimes.

At this moment, his aging senses tingled, and Li Jizhou’s brow furrowed again.

Ahead, on the outskirts of the Fire Domain, was a person, with a lifespan capped at five hundred and two, likely a Middle Stage of Core Formation adept.

And on the left, and right, there were also individuals, seemingly encircling this Fire Domain.

With intense flames scorching the body, Li Jizhou, now having resumed his true form, didn’t want to reveal himself, so he called upon Bai Yi to move along the fire.

Simultaneously, Li Jizhou shared the vision perception with Bai Yi.

Divine Sense couldn’t penetrate the Fire Domain, yet Li Jizhou still toned down his aura, sticking close to the ground, switching to Bai Yi’s perspective.

Bai Yi quietly burrowed underground, blending with the fierce fire, stopping only when ten meters away.

The person ahead had already entered Li Jizhou’s sight,

wearing a white robe with a golden thread insignia embroidered on the chest, a symbol that Li Jizhou was very familiar with, it was the commercial alliance.

Li Jizhou then sent Bai Yi in other directions to investigate, finally confirming that the three people occupying different positions were all from the commercial alliance.

"Could it be that Ye Jingyu has escaped inside again?" Li Jizhou instinctively looked towards the depths of the Fire Domain.

In recent years, the commercial alliance and the Wuxiang Sect have been at war in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp, while Ye Jingyu keeps moving behind the commercial alliance, occasionally striking a blow, causing significant irritation to the alliance.

Looking at it this way, the alliance seems determined to capture Ye Jingyu this time.

If nothing unexpected happens, the commercial alliance must be guarding around the Fire Domain.

"I wonder what Ye Jingyu’s injuries are like this time?" Li Jizhou glanced at the pitch-black flames of the Fourth Layer’s Fire Domain, feeling a lingering fear, not daring to enter.

With his current Fourth Layer Body Refining, the power of the Third Layer’s Fire Domain seemed just right for him.

"Roar!" At this moment, the figure pursuing him earlier suddenly appeared again on the Fire Domain’s perimeter.

Li Jizhou immediately held his breath, closely monitoring its every move through Bai Yi, ready to crush the Teleportation Talisman at any dangerous distance.

In his heart, there was a faint wish for some conflict to occur between it and the people outside from the alliance.

"Who goes there? The commercial alliance is hunting a villain; idle people..." A commercial alliance person just started speaking when the Golden Corpse swiftly dashed, grabbing him by the neck, choking the rest of his words.

"Boom~" Instantly, a violent aura erupted from the Golden Corpse, completely transforming into a Golden Corpse form.

Witnessing this scene, Li Jizhou’s pupils widened rapidly, finally understanding what had been pursuing him.

No wonder the lifespan was undetectable,

So it was a Golden Corpse!

"Could this be the Great Success Golden Corpse nurtured by the Thunder Flame Sect’s Spirit Vein?"

"Corpse King, please calm down, we are members of the alliance." At this moment, those surrounding felt the change, quickly fleeing towards him.

From afar, they shouted loudly.

Subsequently, Li Jizhou observed complex black runes flashing on the opposite party’s forehead.

The Golden Corpse glared at him, then looked at the person in his grip, whose forehead also had a black rune appear.

Then he casually tossed him onto the ground, reverting from Golden Corpse form back to a typical cultivator appearance.

"Sir, our president has been waiting for you in the Ten Thousand Poison Swamp." The alliance member hurriedly said.

The Golden Corpse shot him a glare, not opening his mouth, only using his throat to emit a deep, hoarse sound: "Did you spot a True Core cultivator running inside?"

"Reporting to Corpse King, we’ve been guarding here, haven’t seen anyone enter."

"Ah! My blood feast, my delicious blood feast... He actually escaped... My imprint is gone too..." The Golden Corpse roared repeatedly.

Upon hearing this, Li Jizhou immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Turns out, this Golden Corpse only wanted to suck his blood essence, hence the chase.

At the same time, he was greatly shocked.

From their conversation, it was clear that the Great Success Golden Corpse was not controlled by the alliance.

It was merely invited to assist in their efforts.

From the direction of the Golden Corpse’s approach, it wasn’t hard to see it came from the Wei Kingdom!

"Wei Kingdom!" Li Jizhou’s eyes narrowed slightly.

At this moment, Li Jizhou suddenly switched perspectives, turning to look deeper into the Fourth Layer’s Fire Domain.

A sense of lifespan appeared there.

"Li Jizhou..."

The next moment, amidst the dark flames, Ye Jingyu’s slightly staggering figure emerged.
