He did not notice the person observing him secretly.

Jiang Lan didn’t panic.

But he had no intention of going deeper.

The Ice Cicada Forest was indeed a little dangerous.

However, he had never heard of any creature here that even Golden Cores couldn’t detect.

Jiang Lan felt that there should be some new changes here.

In any case, he would withdraw first and see what happened.

The Ice Cicada Forest was so big, it was not difficult to catch two Ice Cicadas.

However, when he was about to leave, he decided to sign in here first.

This place could barely be considered the middle of a forest.

“System, I’m signing in here.”

[Ding!]

[Signed in successfully. Congratulations to the host for obtaining the gift of the Great Dao. You have obtained the divine power, Spiritual Suppression Force.]

[Spiritual Suppression Force: A subsidiary spell technique. By merging with other spell techniques, it has the power to suppress the soul, as well as break and shatter one’s spirit.]

When the system’s voice fell, Jiang Lan was a little surprised.

It was a divine power.

This was the second time he had obtained a divine power ever since he had gotten One Leaf Vision.

“Spiritual Suppression Force? Judging from the description, it seems to be targeting one’s Essence Soul. Is it similar to the Spirit Striking Whip?”

Jiang Lan originally intended to learn it directly, but it was hard to say if it would bring along any problems.

After all, he felt someone watching him from behind.

The next second, Jiang Lan looked behind.

This time, he saw a standing demon beast. It had a green face and sharp fangs, and its strength did not seem to be at Golden Core.

“A demon beast that has yet to reach the Golden Core Realm can appear before my eyes without me noticing?”

Furthermore, he had activated his perception.

There was something wrong with this demon beast.

“I’m just passing by. If you do not welcome me, I can leave right now.”

Jiang Lan looked at it and said.

Right now, it was also looking at Jiang Lan.

When the other party didn’t react, Jiang Lan retreated out of the forest step by step.

He did not want to become enemies with the other party. At present, the other party did not insist on killing him.

Jiang Lan was retreating, but the demonic beast only watched without any signs of attacking.

However, just as Jiang Lan was about to retreat, someone suddenly rushed out from behind the demonic beasts.

The sword was very fast.

The power it brought along was also very strong.

Early-stage Golden Core.

“Fellow Daoist, don’t be afraid. I’ll lend you a hand.”

The voice followed.

The sword locked onto the demon beast, as if it wanted to kill the green-faced, long-fanged demon beast.

The demonic beast sensed it and bared its teeth, wanting to counterattack, but its strength seemed to be insufficient.

A chill ran down Jiang Lan’s spine.

There seemed to be countless eyes staring at him in the forest.

It was like staring at an enemy.

“Is this person trying to drag me down?”

Jiang Lan could clearly feel that once this demonic beast was killed, he would definitely be hated.

Without any hesitation, he activated the Spirit Ape Spell.

With a single step, he arrived beside the demonic beast.

He cast a spell and blocked the early-stage Golden Core cultivator’s sword. The man was shocked. He never expected Jiang Lan to suddenly appear.

However, Jiang Lan didn’t give him any time to react. He kicked out towards him.

Bang!

The powerful force sent the man flying.

Spit!

The man spat out a mouthful of blood.

In the face of Jiang Lan’s kick, his cultivation was actually unable to circulate in the slightest.

After the man was sent flying, Jiang Lan retreated some distance and immediately looked at the demonic beast.

In that instant, Jiang Lan felt as if the entire forest was staring at him.

He could feel that he was in a very dangerous position.

At this moment, the demonic beast was staring at Jiang Lan, seemingly ready to attack at any moment.

“You should go.”

Jiang Lan spoke first.

At this moment, he had to speak. Otherwise, the demonic beast would attack easily. Once it did, the consequences would be unpredictable.

The demonic beast seemed to understand Jiang Lan’s words.

It looked at Jiang Lan, slowly entering a tree.

The other party disappeared without a trace.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan frowned and decided not to approach the tree.

However, when the demon beast left, the gaze from the forest instantly disappeared.

He was not hated by the hidden existence, nor was he targeted.

Jiang Lan looked at the man beside him.

However, another middle-aged man rushed over from afar.

A perfected Golden Core cultivator.

The middle-aged man came to the early-stage Golden Core cultivator’s side. After confirming that he was only slightly injured, he looked at Jiang Lan.

“Fellow Daoist, why must you do this? We mean no harm. ”

“I have no ill intentions too,” Jiang Lan said.

These two were not from Kunlun.

“In that case, I won’t disturb you any further, Fellow Daoist.” As the middle-aged man spoke, he planned to leave with his men. However, before he left, he added, “Something strange has happened in the forest. I hope you have the strength to leave.”

Jiang Lan watched them leave.

He seemed to have some unwillingness.

“A perfected Golden Core is unhappy with a mid-stage Golden Core like me, yet he doesn’t attack me. Is it because I’m a Kunlun disciple?”

Jiang Lan guessed.

However, Jiang Lan wasn’t sure what the other party was planning.

As long as they did not provoke him, everyone would be safe.

If he did target himself.

Jiang Lan wouldn’t hold back in the slightest.

If that early-stage Golden Core cultivator had attacked him just now, then he would not have used any ordinary spell technique or the Spirit Ape Spell.

He would deal with the person with his Nine Steps of Heavenly Travel and Power of Nine Bulls.

However, he would use his Power of Nine Bulls with his new Spiritual Suppression Force.

When the time came, he would completely suppress his enemy.

No matter the type of enemy.

As for the exact situation, Jiang Lan needed to learn Spiritual Suppression Force first.

He would try to leave now.

Jiang Lan kept retreating, but the more he retreated, the stranger he felt.

The trees around him seemed to be moving, affecting the way he was leaving.

If not for his Essence Soul cultivation, he would not have noticed it.

“Looks like I’m still being targeted.”
