Chapter 227 [Immortal]
The giant bird, which Chen Yan had transformed into, flew towards the southeast, but it didn’t fly too far. After flying close to the ground for a distance, the bird spread its wings to reduce speed and quickly changed into a human form, landing on the ground.
This was a woodland area, with densely packed trees. It was clearly a place rarely visited by people, with many towering trees reaching up to the sky. The ground was covered in a thick layer of fallen leaves, which felt soft underfoot.
The air carried a strong, damp, and decaying smell.
As soon as Chen Yan landed, he immediately took out something from his Storage Jade Pendant — a wooden box filled with origami puppets!
With a slap on the wooden box, a stream of light shot out from it, revealing a paper man made of folded origami, about five feet tall.
Chen Yan raised his hand and injected a stream of Primordial Qi into the paper man. Casually pointing in a direction, he shouted, "Go!!"
The paper man immediately bowed to Chen Yan, then turned and sprinted away!
As the paper man quickly ran off, Chen Yan used Qi Observation Skill to watch it go, seeing the Primordial Qi swirling around it, which set his mind at ease.
Afterward, Chen Yan quickly concealed all his Primordial Qi, put away the Qi Observation Skill, and swiftly took out a talisman paper, slapping it onto himself!
This was a "Qi Concealing Talisman"!
After applying the talisman paper, all traces of Primordial Qi flow on Chen Yan disappeared!
He turned around to look at his surroundings, quickly choosing a target, and then ran swiftly to a nearby towering tree.
The tree’s trunk was about four to five people in diameter. Its roots were intertwined, creating a massive and irregular base, which conveniently formed a tree hollow that seemed just big enough for a person’s body.
He crawled into the hollow, and with both hands, he began to dig vigorously, piling up a heap of fallen leaves to fill the entrance and gaps of the tree hollow, even burying more than half of his body under the leaf pile...
Before long, Chen Yan had buried himself, held his breath, and forced himself into a state akin to meditation... In this state, it was as if he had entered a turtle-like respiration state, with his heartbeat and breathing rhythm reduced to the minimum frequency!
After doing all this, Chen Yan remained motionless, treating himself like a dead man.
Although Chen Yan’s actions of jumping off the flying ship, taking out the paperman puppet to divert attention, and hiding under the tree hollow and leaf pile all seemed to be done quickly and calmly, without a moment of delay.
However, he was not as calm and composed internally as his actions seemed.
He was very aware that his life and death hung by a thread!!

The Gu Family, in the Domain Realm, was defined as a top elite family!
Daring to intercept and kill the Gu Family’s cargo ship, exterminating the Gu Family members, and slaughtering the steward and crew on board... Chen Yan felt his response was absolutely correct in such a scenario!
It was on the ship when the steward said his last words, which warned Chen Yan!
The mysterious person using the golden Flying Sword, daring to commit such deeds, was he not afraid of the Gu Family?
How could he not be afraid!
The Gu Family had vast influence, with a Venerable Saint behind them.
Wouldn’t the man be afraid of the Gu Family’s retaliation for committing this act?
Thus, Chen Yan realized instantly — the opponent would certainly kill to silence the witnesses!
Only by killing everyone present today, leaving no survivors, could the perpetrator conceal his identity to the greatest extent.

Chen Yan lay in the tree hollow, his body hidden under the leaf pile. Though the scent of decaying leaves filled his nostrils, he paid no mind. Like a wild animal, he stayed alert to any movement around, not daring to relax even after fifteen minutes, simply waiting in silence.
Sure enough, after more than twenty minutes, Chen Yan suddenly felt a chilling sensation over his body!
An invisible force, like the wind, swept through the forest...
In the dark, it seemed a strange power was sweeping through the forest, and an intangible sound was calling deep within Chen Yan’s Primordial Spirit.
The sensation was like being in a dazed dream, with a voice whispering at your ear, tempting you to wake up and rise...
Chen Yan’s heart tightened!
Sweat trickled down his forehead!
Though he didn’t know what spell the other party used, he was certain it must be some kind of Primordial Spirit-level technique!
Yet, Chen Yan dared not counteract it by using his power, fearing any reaction in his Primordial Qi might alert the opponent.
Unable to resist using his Primordial Spirit and Primordial Qi, Chen Yan could only grit his teeth and endure.
But he felt his consciousness gradually blurring under the eerie voice, his body seemed tempted to move, as if the voice carried an irresistible force that stirred his body to follow the voice, to rise and go out...
Chen Yan took a deep breath, his hand slowly reaching down to his thigh, pinching it hard.
The sharp pain in his muscles brought momentary clarity to his mind.
Chen Yan quickly exhaled, seizing the lucid moment, Chen Yan’s heart tightened once more!
