C823 There's Been a Little Bit of Trouble
Due to the Thousand Demonic Graveyard being filled with dangers, many cultivators were injured.
There was no lack of disfigurement, which led to their extremely hideous appearance.
However, none of them were as visually impactful as this cultivator in front of them.
Even though he was already mentally prepared, seeing it now, Lin Miaoran's heart was still thumping hard. He felt his hands and feet go cold.
After the cultivator stood still, his gaze swept towards Lin Miaoran.
In an instant, Lin Miaoran felt like she was being watched by a poisonous snake.
She stretched her body and instantly assumed a defensive posture.
However, this cultivator did not seem to be targeting her.
His gaze swept across Lin Miaoran's body and immediately turned distant. "No."
"Hmm?" Lin Miaoran frowned slightly.
The man's words were not directed at her, nor did they seem like he was talking to himself.
Who was that to?
Just as Lin Miaoran was wondering, a voice suddenly came from behind her.
"It's right around here. I definitely haven't left yet. Keep searching!"
This voice appeared extremely suddenly.
Lin Miaoran was certain that before this, she absolutely did not discover anyone behind her.
She also did not notice when this person appeared behind her back.
So when the voice came out, Lin Miaoran was so shocked her scalp went numb, and anxiously turned around.
Immediately, she saw a cultivator that was dressed similar to the cultivator from before standing not far behind her.
Half of the cultivator's mask was still intact, so it could be seen that he was like an angry bear.
However, this cultivator's body also had obvious scars.
The laceration on his chest in particular was like a sharp claw that almost ripped his belly open.
"Are these two looking for some kind of demon beast?" Lin Miaoran thought.
At this moment, she heard the cultivator wearing the bear mask say, "He disappeared in a flash just now, and is definitely hidden under our noses. Go and find them, we will search inch by inch, and even if we have to turn this place over, we must still find him!"
With that, the cultivator paused for a moment, his eyes revealing a strong sense of anger.
"He's been running for 30 days. That fellow must be running out of energy by now. I don't believe that he'll be able to escape today."
When he heard up to here, Lin Miaoran's heartstrings suddenly trembled.
"He disappeared in the blink of an eye" and "he escaped for a full thirty days". If ordinary people were to hear these two sentences, they would definitely not think that there was any problem.
However, Lin Miaoran knew clearly that if it was Chu Yan, that was definitely possible!
In terms of time, it was completely right.
Chu Yan had lost contact with him roughly thirty days ago.
If he was continuously being hunted by four Earth Origin Stage cultivators and didn't have the time to send messages to him, it would definitely be normal.
As for "I won't see you in a moment", that was easier to explain.
For the past month or so, Lin Miaoran had followed Chu Yan's instructions to set up a formation here.
The blueprints and materials used to set up the formation came from Chu Yan.
Since that was the case, then Chu Yan naturally knew how the array would be activated.
When he arrived at this area, he used the formation to get rid of the cultivators chasing after him. Naturally, it became very normal.
With that thought, Lin Miaoran felt her heart beating even faster.
However, at this time, in order to avoid arousing the suspicion of the two cultivators in front of her, her face was expressionless.
Lin Miaoran's calmness had obviously fooled the two cultivators.
The two of them were anxious to pursue Chu Yan. After a brief discussion, they quickly left.
When they left, the leader cultivator with the perfect mask glanced at Lin Miaoran.
After all, their pursuer had gone missing in this area, and it was quite a coincidence that another cultivator had appeared in this place where no one came.
But after pondering for a moment, he still did not bother to care about Lin Miaoran.
Right now, chasing after Chu Yan was the most important thing, he did not want any unnecessary trouble to arise.
When they thought of that crafty fellow, they had actually thought of using such a despicable method to escape, causing the four of them to almost be completely annihilated.
The leader of the cultivators gritted his teeth in anger. He decided that when he caught Chu Yan, he would not let him die so easily.
After the two cultivators left, although Lin Miaoran's heart was beating rapidly, she still maintained her calm expression. She wandered around for another fifteen minutes, and after making sure that no one was watching her from the shadows, she slowly walked towards a grass patch nearby.
In the grass, there seemed to be some stones the size of stools scattered casually.
However, in reality, the arrangement of these stones were extremely particular.
This was an illusory magic array!
It looked like a grass field that could not even be used to hide a little dog, let alone a human.
However, the truth was that there was another world within it.
Lin Miaoran walked over to a rock and sat down with her knees crossed.
After a moment, her fingers seemed to be bored. She moved her fingers a few times on the ground, and then her body slightly tilted backwards at an angle.
All of a sudden, a smile appeared on her face as she peeked through the gap in the spell formation.
"I knew you'd come looking for me."
Seeing the familiar smile, hearing the familiar voice, and hearing the weakness in the voice, Lin Miaoran's nose suddenly felt sore.
The worry that he had endured for dozens of days, when he saw Chu Yan appear in front of him, was like a flood that had burst its banks;
Before he even had the chance to cry, Lin Miaoran felt his body lighten and he was immediately carried by Chu Yan.
"Ya!" Lin Miaoran subconsciously wanted to shout out.
"Don't make a sound, they haven't gone far yet."
Hearing Chu Yan's low voice, she immediately shut his mouth, wrapped his arms around Chu Yan's neck, and allowed him to hug his leg, with his red eyes, looking at him.
Chu Yan's body was evidently wounded, and his complexion was even paler than usual.
Lin Miaoran knew how strong Chu Yan's physique was.
Even if it was a high level weapon, it wouldn't be able to harm him under normal circumstances.
Lin Miaoran had once seen a heptaprotic apparatus's longsword in Chu Yan's hands. It was no different from cooked noodles and could be kneaded at will.
And right now, even Chu Yan was slightly gasping for air while holding onto himself.
Of course, it was impossible for him to get heavier.
After bringing Lin Miaoran to the array and sitting down again, Lin Miaoran was still carried in her arms by Chu Yan.
"There's been some trouble. You should have seen it earlier." Chu Yan took a deep breath and explained while smiling, "But no matter what, being able to come here on time to meet you is pretty good."
