A raging fire of anger burned fiercely in his chest.
131 - Cast a long line to catch a big fish!
Di Shitian felt a surge of rebuttal, but remembering Ximen Yu's terrifying and suffocating strength, he swallowed his words. A sinister glint flashed in his lowered eyes as he gritted his teeth. Before Ximen Yu could speak, he suddenly struck his chest with a palm strike, simultaneously activating the Sacred Heart Technique with all his might, and his figure vanished in an instant.
"Don't even think about escaping!" Ling Donglai and the others roared angrily upon seeing this, but faced with Di Shitian's determination to flee, even though he was seriously injured, they were powerless to stop him without Ximen Yu's intervention. In the blink of an eye, Di Shitian had vanished without a trace.
"Burning Phoenix Blood? Interesting." Ximen Yu chuckled, gazing into the distance. Having decided to subdue this old dog, he naturally wouldn't let him escape so easily. If he wanted to stop him, even if Di Shitian exhausted his life essence, he wouldn't be able to escape his control. Letting him go this time was actually a plan to catch a big fish—this old monster who had lived for three thousand years must be hiding amazing treasures.
Moreover, Emperor Shitian already has a host of powerful figures under his command, such as Luo Xian and the Ice Emperor. If they could be recruited, the Azure Dragon Society's strength would undoubtedly rise to a new level. The Nine Provinces are about to enter an era of great contention, with many experts emerging. Currently, the Azure Dragon Society's top combat power is insufficient, making the recruitment of strong individuals imperative. As the one in power, Ximen Yu is unwilling to handle everything personally.
"No need to chase him," he called to Ling Donglai and the others who were about to give chase. "He can't escape our grasp. Now that you're all gathered here, I have something important to entrust to you."
"A mission?" Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this and looked up at each other.
A hint of inquiry flashed in his eyes.
"That person just now was a reclusive master from Yunzhou."
"This place is full of hidden talents, and there are quite a few strong people like this."
"Your responsibility is to bring them under the command of the Azure Dragon Society."
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Ximen Yu smiled calmly.
After a moment's thought, he slowly explained the arrangements.
There are so many reclusive masters in Yunzhou?!
Upon hearing this, Ling Donglai and the others' expressions changed drastically.
A look of shock appeared on his aged face.
"Second Dragon Head, you have the highest cultivation level here."
"Go to Zhonghua Pavilion in Yunzhou and find a pavilion master who plays the erhu."
"You may invite him to join the association or bring him to see me."
"Third Dragon Head, you are in charge of visiting Wushuang City in Yunzhou."
"Seek the city lord's introduction to Sword Saint Dugu Jian, and decide the rest yourself."
"The four, five, and six dragon heads, the three of you will go to the World Society together and act according to the plan."
"Seven Dragon Heads, you must travel far overseas from Yunzhou to find Water God Island and invite the Water God Ancestor to join the gathering."
Ximen Yu's eyes flickered slightly, and he gave the order in a deep voice.
Though nameless, he is no weakling, even if he comes from the east.
In terms of martial arts skills, he may even surpass Wuming.
It would be most appropriate for him to go to the Chinese Pavilion.
Dugu Jian was a pure swordsman, and he and Dugu Qiubai were kindred spirits.
Chapter 70 Seclusion
When two people meet, they are bound to find common ground.
Xiaoyaozi, Li Taibai, and Zhang Daoling went to the World Alliance together, actually to guard against Xiong Ba's father.
This person has lived in seclusion for many years, and his strength is unfathomable.
If something unexpected happens, the three can help each other.
As for Zhang Sanfeng, this journey was the most difficult.
Water God Island is elusive and elusive; searching for it is like searching for a needle in a haystack.
However, no one complained, and they clasped their hands in unison and said:
"I obey the Great Dragon's command!"
Ximen Yu nodded: "There's no time to lose, you should act immediately."
Ling Donglai and his six companions bowed respectfully, then turned and left.
On the other side, within the territory of the Ming Dynasty, twenty miles away from Mount Hua.
Two figures were fleeing in panic.
Yue Lingshan suddenly tripped and fell to the ground.
"Shan'er!" Ning Zhongze hurriedly helped her up.
"Mother, why are we running? Where is Father?" Yue Lingshan asked, rubbing her knees.
“I’m just taking you on a trip; your father has sect affairs to attend to.” Ning Zhongze’s expression flickered.
"Then why walk so fast? Wouldn't it be better to take your time and enjoy the scenery?"
"No... Mother wants to find an inn to rest as soon as possible."
Noticing her mother's unusual behavior, Yue Lingshan looked at her with a puzzled expression.
"There's an inn ten miles ahead, let's hurry!" The innocent and carefree girl skipped forward.
Just as Ning Zhongze was about to breathe a sigh of relief, a lewd laugh suddenly came from the sky:
"Hehe, she really is a beautiful young lady!"
"All that hard work along the way wasn't in vain!"
Before the words were finished, a figure had already silently arrived.
A wicked smile played on his lips as his gaze roamed brazenly over Yue Lingshan, his fingers lightly stroking his chin, his expression frivolous.
"Tian Boguang?!"
Ning Zhongze's expression hardened, and he quickly stood in front of Yue Lingshan, his eyes filled with vigilance.
"Oh, Miss Ning, you recognize me?" Tian Boguang raised an eyebrow, rubbing his hands together in feigned surprise. "Could it be that you've already fallen for me? Don't worry, we have plenty of time to talk."
He approached slowly, secretly pleased with himself. If it weren't for his ability to identify women by their scent, how could he have been so lucky as to bump into this mother and daughter? If he didn't seize the opportunity, wouldn't he be letting fate down?
"Hmph! You mere flower thief, how dare you be so arrogant!" Ning Zhongze coldly rebuked, her right hand gripping the hilt of her sword tightly. With a flash of cold light, the longsword was already drawn. She stared intently at Tian Boguang, her eyes sharp as knives, wishing she could tear him to pieces.
Tian Boguang laughed dismissively: "Why is Lady Ning so angry? In terms of martial arts, you are indeed not weak, but don't forget what I do—if it can be solved with medicine, why resort to violence?"
A sly glint flashed in his eyes. His earlier nonsense was just waiting for the drug to take effect, and now the time had come.
Ning Zhongze's heart sank. She suddenly realized that her limbs were weak and she almost dropped her sword. She was both shocked and furious: "You...?! Shameless!"
Ning Zhongze mustered her last bit of strength.
Tian Boguang approached with a lewd grin: "Little beauty, don't waste your energy. This bone-softening powder is specially prepared for martial arts masters like you."
Tears welling in Yue Lingshan's eyes as she stood in front of her mother, crying, "You villain! My father will tear you to pieces!"
"Hahaha!" Tian Boguang licked his lips and chuckled maliciously, "Once the deed is done, that hypocrite Yue Buqun will probably be eager to become my brother-in-law!"
Ning Zhongze was filled with shame and indignation upon hearing this, but her body was as limp as cotton, and she couldn't even move her fingertips. Seeing the lecherous thief getting closer and closer, she closed her eyes in despair.
Tian Boguang reached for his waist, his eyes gleaming with desire.
He made no attempt to hide his desire for the girl, a sinister smile playing on his lips.
"what--!"
"do not come!"
"Help, help me..."
Yue Lingshan's cries echoed through the forest.
Tian Boguang ignored him and approached step by step.
"Cry, shout."
"The more they struggle, the more interesting it becomes!"
He laughed wildly and quickened his pace.
Ning Zhongze felt a deep sense of despair and couldn't help but sigh inwardly:
'Am I destined to suffer this calamity today?'
At this moment——
The sound of breaking through the air suddenly sounded.
The three of them looked up at the same time.
A glimmer of hope appeared in Ning Zhongze's and Yue Lingshan's eyes.
The next instant, a masked figure drifted over.
"Who are you?!"
Tian Boguang narrowed his eyes, looking prepared.
Despite smelling the unique fragrance emanating from the other person, he felt no joy at the moment, but rather a sense of vigilance.
The person before me is unfathomable!
What angered him even more was—
The other party ignored him completely, their gaze fixed solely on Yue Lingshan.
"Ning Zhongze from Huashan Cave earnestly requests your assistance, senior!"
Ning Zhongze hurriedly spoke up.
Although she was unaware of the other party's true strength.
But her years of experience and keen observation still gave her some insight into the matter.
She was certain that the other party must be an unfathomable master!
The key is.
At this moment, only he can lend a helping hand and save the mother and daughter from danger!
Therefore, she secretly hoped that the other party would be as strong as possible.
"These two prey are mine!"
"If you know what's good for you, get lost!"
"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
As the saying goes, greed makes people lose their reason.
Even if you realize that the other party might be someone you don't want to mess with.
But the fat in my mouth was about to fly away.
Tian Boguang finally couldn't hold back and issued a vicious threat.
Li Canghai gave him a cold glance.
With light steps, she slowly walked towards Ning Zhongze and her daughter.
"You... uh..."
Tian Boguang's body suddenly stiffened.
I had barely uttered a single word when I felt a sharp pain in my throat.
He instinctively raised his hand to cover his neck.
A warm touch came from the palm of my hand.
His pupils suddenly contracted.
His lips trembled, and his face was filled with fear.
He fell heavily to the ground.
The vitality vanished quickly.
Witness this scene.
Ning Zhongze was deeply shaken.
