"Elder Yun, Star Sword's aura vanished up ahead."
Barely half an hour had passed before Elder Yun of the Profound Celestial Sect, along with his thirteen High-tier Martial Saint Level experts, arrived near Yang Xiao and Lu Fangliang.
"Is that so? Let this old man take a look."
Elder Yun had promised Xuan Shangqing that he would give it his all, and he was a man of his word.
Therefore, despite being hundreds of miles from where Star Sword Venerable's aura had disappeared, Elder Yun had already stopped to perform a Secret Technique.
He ford a sword seal with two fingers and tapped the center of his forehead.
Instantly, a brilliant golden light burst forth from between his eyebrows.
It was as if a golden diamond was materializing there.
"Elder Yun's Heavenly Eye Mystic Skill is truly incredible. Once he uses it, I'm afraid nothing within a radius of hundreds of miles can escape his sight," one of the Ninth Tier of Martial Saint experts exclaid in admiration.
Although they were both at Tier Nine, this man knew full well that soone like him, who had just entered Tier Nine, could never compare to a senior like Elder Yun, who had been at the Peak of Tier Nine for over a century.
Thus, his words were full of complints.
The others were the sa.
This was especially true since most of them were not even on his level; they were mostly Tier Seven or Tier Eight existences.
Only three of them had actually reached Tier Nine.
Elder Yun, the man who had just spoken, and a silent, middle-aged man in green robes.
But no one dared to underestimate him.
"Eh? It's just two young kids?"
Elder Yun was slightly startled when he observed Yang Xiao and the other boy.
His surprise caused a fluctuation in his Heart Spirit, which instantly alerted Lu Fangliang.
His eyes imdiately swept in their direction.
This took Elder Yun by surprise.
He subconsciously deactivated his Heavenly Eye Mystic Skill.
"What is it, Elder Yun?" soone asked softly.
Elder Yun's expression darkened slightly. After a mont of silence, he said, "It's two youths. One is sitting there, seemingly in cultivation. On him, I can feel the aura of the Star Hand Seal."
"The Star Hand Seal? Isn't that Star Sword's exclusive Mystic Skill? It seems these two youths are definitely connected to Star Sword's death."
The silent, green-robed middle-aged man finally spoke.
As the second strongest in the group, the mont he spoke, the others tactfully remained silent.
They left him to converse with Elder Yun.
"Correct. And the other kid is quite strong as well. His aura seems to be only at the Martial Grandmaster Fourth Layer, but just now, he actually seed to detect my probing. Impressive, truly impressive! I wonder which power managed to nurture two geniuses like them."
"To be able to detect Elder Yun's presence, he is indeed a genius. The other one, who could comprehend Star Sword's Star Hand Seal, is also quite extraordinary. Could it be... they're from the Lu Family?" the green-robed man said suddenly.
As soon as he said this, everyone's expression changed.
The Lu Family.
That na was not well-known in the world of mortals, or even in the Martial Arts World.
But in the circles of Immortal Cultivators, it was legendary.
Because for all these years, any Immortal Cultivator who acted openly would be discovered by the Lu Family and subsequently killed.
Even those terrifying existences at the True Tier Peak were no exception.
Therefore, the Profound Celestial Sect had always been extrely careful to hide their identities as Immortal Cultivators.
But even so, over the years, many of their mbers had still died at the hands of the Lu Family.
And now, they had appeared again.
"What should we do? Kill them?" a Tier Eight Martial Saint asked nervously.
Elder Yun glanced at him, then turned to the green-robed man and asked, "Qinghan, what do you say?"
The green-robed man was silent for a mont before suddenly declaring, "mbers of the Lu Family must be killed!"
"That's right! All mbers of the Lu Family must die!" another Tier Eight Martial Saint said, his eyes bloodshot.
His grandfather had died at the hands of the Lu Family.
Because of that incident, his family had fallen into decline and almost couldn't recover.
Although they had recovered now, this man held a deep-seated grudge against the Lu Family.
"'The Lu Family isn't that easy to deal with,'" soone else remarked.
However, he was only a Tier Seven Martial Saint.
He didn't have much of a say.
"Since everyone has decided to act, and since we ca here to avenge Star Sword, these two kids must be killed."
"However, to prevent any other Lu Family mbers from being here, Tianyuan, you will go alone. Rember, don't kill the two brats right away. Force their hand and draw out whoever is backing them," Elder Yun ordered.
The one he sent to lure out the enemy was none other than the Tier Seven Martial Saint who had just said the Lu Family was difficult to deal with—Tianyuan Venerable.
In the Profound Celestial Sect, only Martial Saints at Tier Seven and Above were addressed as Venerable.
Although Tianyuan Venerable's strength was decent, his chances against the Lu Family were slim.
However, he didn't dare to disobey.
If he refused, he was afraid Elder Yun would deal with him before the Lu Family even had the chance.
So, he could only curse himself for running his mouth.
Tianyuan Venerable flew off.
"Hmph. What a coward."
Soone muttered as soon as he left.
They were clearly very displeased with what Tianyuan Venerable had said earlier.
And in fact, that was the case.
Just as the Lu Family loathed Immortal Cultivators, these Immortal Cultivators from the Profound Celestial Sect loathed the Lu Family.
The two were like mortal enemies.
They could not coexist.
For Tianyuan Venerable to say sothing so weak at a ti like this would naturally earn him the dislike of his companions.
Besides, wasn't he the weakest among them?
If he didn't go, who would?
"Get ready. When the Lu Family's elders arrive, we'll execute the encirclent plan!"
A vicious glint flashed through Elder Yun's eyes.
The others all nodded, on high alert.
anwhile, Tianyuan Venerable wore a troubled expression. He was being cautious, but he had severely underestimated Yang Xiao and his companion.
The mont his figure entered Lu Fangliang's perceptual range, he was discovered.
Moreover, Lu Fangliang sensed the Immortal Dao Aura on him.
'Oh no, another Immortal Dao Powerhouse is here! What do I do?'
Lu Fangliang's expression changed.
But in the next instant, he made his decision.
Greater Yang Qi surged from his body, and two massive Light Arrows appeared behind him.
One of them flew out with a SWOOSH.
It was incredibly fast.
It reached Tianyuan Venerable in an instant.
BANG!
It killed the Tier Seven Martial Saint on the spot.
Another one killed.
But after killing this person, Lu Fangliang's expression didn't relax in the slightest; instead, it grew solemn.
His Greater Yang Treasure Technique could only fire three arrows a day. Any more than that would overload his body, rendering him unable to use it. After all, his current strength was still a bit too weak.
If he could step into the Martial Saint Tier, he would no longer be bound by this restriction.
But now...
Heaven knew if more Immortal Cultivators were on their way.
However, Yang Xiao was currently imrsed in his cultivation and couldn't be moved.
And Lu Fangliang would never abandon him.
'What should I do?'
