Chapter 666: The Mysterious Treasure Tower in the Secret Realm Sea Area【Fourth Update】
```
Li Yunchen and another person looked at Li Xiaoyao, who was instantly surrounded, their faces ashen.
No matter how talented or powerful Li Xiaoyao was, this situation was like a dead end for him, with no chance of survival.
Li Chaotian frowned and stood aside, his fists clenched tightly, veins bulging. He glanced over and found that Li Xiaoyao was quite calm, as if the encircling Nascent Soul Realm experts posed no pressure on him.
"Could this kid have been scared silly?" Li Chaotian wondered to himself.
But no matter what, he couldn't just abandon Li Xiaoyao. Although he knew that any elder could quash him with a flick of a finger, he couldn't stand by and watch Li Xiaoyao get killed.
"Senior Chaotian, go down," said Li Xiaoyao as Li Chaotian was about to invoke the Li Family again.
"What?" Li Chaotian asked, perplexed. "Do you really want to die?"
Li Xiaoyao smiled and said, "I don't want to die, and no one can kill me. But if you're here, it will be very troublesome."
"Troublesome..." Li Chaotian's mouth twitched. If he could, he really wanted to kick him.
But seeing that Li Xiaoyao was indeed not joking, Li Chaotian hesitated for half a second and then said, "You must survive. I'll wait for you at the Li Family."
"Mm, I'll come," Li Xiaoyao smiled back at him.
Li Chaotian went down, leaving the battlefield.
The leader of the Northern Alliance, Ming Wang, was the first to rush up, his palm turned into a claw, reaching for Li Xiaoyao's neck.
Li Xiaoyao's smile vanished as he dove into the spirit of flora with astonishing speed.
"Whoosh~"
Passing through the layers of foliage, the next second, the sound of falling water rang out. Everyone exchanged glances—in the face of the encirclement by Nascent Soul Realm experts, Li Xiaoyao had actually escaped?
It seemed incredible, but the reality was right before their eyes, and they had to believe it.
"Let's see how long you can run!" Ling Tian said, his face like an iceberg, chasing after Li Xiaoyao first.
Sounds of splashes continued without end, and for a moment, only the overwhelming spirit of flora remained in the sky, as all the Nascent Soul Realm experts plunged into the sea to chase after Li Xiaoyao.
A very strange feeling was spreading from the bottom of Li Xiaoyao's heart.
In the depths of the sea, there seemed to be a mysterious force constantly plucking at his heartstrings, making him unable to stop himself from getting closer.
The seawater was freezing to the bone, but a sphere of Spiritual Energy enveloped Li Xiaoyao, isolating the sea and the cold temperature.
He followed the roots of the spirit of flora, hugging the roots as he swiftly dived downward, the water's resistance hardly affecting him.
The elders behind were speeding up, a tremendous aura emanating from each of them.
"How can this kid be so fast?"
"We can't let this boy live. If he continues to cultivate like this, the Li Family will have another Nascent Soul Realm expert in the future."
The distance between the two sides was rapidly closing. Li Xiaoyao, sensing the elders drawing closer behind him, felt a ripple in his serene state of mind.
"Faster, faster, faster!" he roared silently in his heart, awakening all his potential power and again boosting his speed significantly, shooting towards the sea bottom like a spear.
At a depth of 20,000 meters beneath the sea, this place was filled with sand and rocks formed over millions of years, with mysterious and variable terrains—some flat, some like undersea valleys, others like deep abyssal cliffs. Each place could be considered a marvel.
And in the deep sea, at an unknown depth, there was a nine-story pagoda made of deep black material. Inside the pagoda, a little girl around seven or eight years old was sitting on the ground.
The little girl was dressed in fine silk, with long, straight, black hair and big, lively, clear eyes. Her long eyelashes flickered slightly, making one's heart race.
```
The little girl was fundamentally different from ordinary girls. She was petite and exquisite, appearing very delicate, yet her chest was surprisingly bountiful.
Even the gauzy silk robe could not hide the explosive curves and the graceful figure of her chest.
This contradictory combination gave her an aura of strangeness all over.
In the open space in front of the little girl, a coffin was placed, inside of which lay a quiet casket containing a piece of finger bone.
The little girl slowly lifted her delicate chin, pouting her lips, "This time, it seems to have attracted quite a lot of people."
"Eh~" The girl's bright, sparkling eyes suddenly flashed with surprise, "I sense a familiar aura."
"Interesting, but the trials that must be accepted cannot be omitted." The little girl's fingers danced nimbly through the air, flicking continuously, a thread of invisible energy drifting from her fingertips, flying towards the outside of the tower.
...
Li Xiaoyao had descended 20,000 meters to the bottom of the sea, and this spirit of vegetation also reached down to the 20,000 meters of the deep sea, and close to where the roots connected, it seemed there was still more.
It was truly terrifying; he really did not know how much longer it was beneath the seabed at the bottom of the roots.
However, Li Xiaoyao did not have the time to pay attention to these matters now, as he had no escape route left.
"Plop plop plop!"
One figure after another appeared from above, floating around Li Xiaoyao, blocking all possible escape routes.
"Kid, keep running!"
"I really want to see where you can flee to!"
The elders from the ancient sects, the leaders of the Yunhui, had mocking looks in their eyes, and it seemed as if they would be even more excited if Li Xiaoyao now beg for mercy by kowtowing.
Li Xiaoyao remained silent, his face solemn, as he had already purchased the Thousand-Miles-in-One-Day Talisman from the Mysterious System.
He couldn't beat them, but escaping was still not a problem.
"Fellow daoists, I shall take my leave without further ado," Elder Chen spoke out, seemingly impatient to make the first move.
"Hmph, you can't swallow this Spirit Fruit alone!" The others shouted in dissatisfaction, immediately taking action.
Facing the powerful attacks of these elders, Li Xiaoyao hesitated not a bit, activating the talisman paper, and his body eerily vanished from the spot.
"Boom!"
A series of attacks thundered down, only to hit emptiness. A group of Nascent Soul Realm powerhouses gaped in disbelief at the spot.
Even with their keen insight, they could not discern how exactly Li Xiaoyao had managed to escape.
"Damn it!" Suddenly, Li Xiaoyao's curse echoed in the depths of the sea, and everyone immediately looked towards the source of the sound, only to see that Li Xiaoyao had appeared several thousand meters to the right at some point.
Li Xiaoyao was furious, his face even showing a hint of panic.
The Thousand-Miles-in-One-Day Talisman could transport him a thousand miles in an instant, to any place.
However, when Li Xiaoyao had just activated the talisman, he was horrified to discover that the Thousand-Miles-in-One-Day Talisman seemed to have lost its intended effect.
The Secret Realm restricted the teleportation distance of talismans, limiting them to within the Secret Realm only.
That is to say, no matter how he used the Thousand-Miles-in-One-Day Talisman, the furthest he could teleport would only be within the bounds of the Secret Realm.
Looking at the unfriendly faces of the elders staring at him, Li Xiaoyao felt a chill run down his spine, he grimaced, bared his teeth, and turned to run.
