Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

By the time Li Han reached near Zhan Chen, Wang Quanhe was already gone. "Zhan Chen, are you crazy? Why are you chasing behind a peak fifth stage expert?", Li Han yelled at Zhan Chen.

"I thought I could hold him down", Zhan Chen replied.

"And how are you planning to do that?", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen.

Zhan didn't say anything but with a command from him, two Flower striped sand boas peeked their heads and looked towards Li Han. A hint of fear appeared in the eyes of Li Han but he managed to calm down himself.

"These things are not enough to hold him down. Moreover, he has detoxifying pills", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen with exasperation. No matter what, he could commend Zhan Chen's guts.

'Killing two fifth stage experts and chasing behind a peak fifth stage expert from Heavenly sword sect while himself being at True essence realm! Only Zhan Chen could achieve such impossible feats.' Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen speechlessly. Even he was not confident as much compared to Zhan Chen.

"Forget it. That man is gone. We should focus our sight on young miss", Li Han spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head in reply. There was no point in chasing behind Wang Quanhe anyway because he had already managed to subdue him.

"What are you planning?", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen. With his cultivation, he should take the lead but Li Han was already convinced by Zhan Chen's abilities.

"First, let us check the area where your young miss was last seen", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Han nodded his head and both of them returned to the inheritance valley where the Shen clan group had gathered.

Nie Shan and Kai Min finally managed to catch upto Zhan Chen but the battle had already ended before they could come back. Nie Shan became dumbfounded after he heard the sequence of the battle from the other onlookers. His Nie family members were already nearby. They began to ask about Zhan Chen after they knew that Nie Shan was his acquaintance.

A happy look appeared on the face of Kai Min after she heard Zhan Chen's battle record. Zhan Chen asked her to wait for him as he left with Li Han and a Core Condensation realm expert from Shen clan.

After leaving the inheritance valley, Zhan Chen, Li Han and the Core condensation realm expert from Shen clan didn't encounter any other buildings. The area was strewn with wild grasses and there were some ancient looking trees all around the place.

What they were currently seeing was entirely different from the outer appearance of the Cleansing Insense ancient sect.

"Is this the wild land you spoke of?", Li Han looked towards the core condensation realm warrior of Shen clan. The Shen clan expert nodded his head. He was the last person of Shen clan who had followed behind Shen Ruyan when she was being chased by the Lu family expert.

"Show me the exact location", Zhan Chen spoke. The Shen clan warrior nodded his head and led both Zhan Chen and Li Han towards the deeper part of the wild looking land. As Zhan Chen and Li Han moved ahead, the place became denser and the number of ancient looking trees increased in the surrounding.

"This is the place where I have last seen our young miss", the Core Condensation realm expert pointed towards a place which located ahead of of them. There was nothing special about the place but there was a hazy atmosphere surrounding the said location.

Three of them looked ahead but no one could tell what was located inside. The place ahead of them was covered entirely by hazy looking substances in the air. It was now possible to see the person nearby by but considering the thickness of the hazy looking substance, it would be difficult to maneuver once they traveled much deeper.

"Let's take a look", Li Han suggested. The Core condensation realm warrior nodded his head but Zhan Chen frowned after observing the hazy looking area for a while.

"Wait a minute. Don't act rashly", Zhan Chen spoke. Li Han felt puzzled but he still decided to wait for Zhan Chen.

Zhan Chen covered the entire area with his soul consciousness. No matter how he looked, he couldn't find any abnormality and that was the fact which bothered Zhan Chen. Generally, no place would exist without a purpose in the sect. There may be waste lands around the outer boundary of a sect but no one would leave a waste land in the inner part of a sect. Moreover, he couldn't notice any formation around the entire wild land which was not befitting to the status of a big sect.

Zhan Chen thought hard as he observed the surrounding area. 'Big trees, hazy atmosphere.....

"Wait, could it be a natural formation?", Zhan Chen deduced inside his mind. A solemn look appeared on his face after he made his assumption.

Formations were generally of two types. One which was arranged by men and another was natural which was arranged by nature itself. The most terrifying aspect of natural formation was one couldn't tell that he or she was inside a formation untill he or she had entered the formation.

"Zhan Chen, what happened?", Li Han asked. Zhan Chen chose not to answer Li Han for now. Instead he looked at the Core condensation realm warrior of Shen clan.

"Young master Chen, what is the matter?", the core condensation realm warrior felt confused.

"You, how did you get out of this forest?", Zhan Chen asked.

"I just ran behind that Lu family bastard and young miss. I didn't know how I lost them from my sight. I tried to go deeper but this wild land grew thinner as I went forward and I came out from the wild land. I checked again but couldn't find young miss or that bastard from Lu family", the Core condensation realm warrior replied.

Zhan Chen knitted his eyebrows after hearing the reply of the warrior of Shen clan. "Looks like, it is a bewildering formation. One need attainment in formation to find the path to the inner location", Zhan Chen spoke.

"What! Bewildering formation? But there is no sign of any formation in our surrounding!", Li Han looked towards Zhan Chen with confusion in his eyes.

"Senior, there is no point in explaining. You will naturally understand after we move deep inside", Zhan Chen replied.

Li Han had confusion wrote all ove his face but he still followed behind Zhan Chen along with the core condensation realm warrior of Shen clan.
