Hundred Refinement Sect.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star arrived at the sect's Hundred Refinement Hall in a hurry and bumped into a middle-aged cultivator with three strands of beard.
This person had a calm bearing and had a hint of authority between his brows. It was obvious that he had been in a high position for a long time.
"Greetings, Patriarch!"
The two cultivators at the entrance of the hall bowed to this person.
This was the Patriarch of Hundred Refinement Sect, Dao Lord White Flames!
"Senior Brother White Flames!"
When Dao Lord Scarlet Star saw this person, he hurried forward to greet him.
When Dao Lord White Flames saw his anxious expression, as though something major had happened, he asked in a deep voice, "What's wrong?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star frowned and said hatefully, "Those three useless disciples of mine snuck out. They've been out for a day and haven't returned yet!"
Dao Lord White Flames' expression changed slightly.
This was an extremely sensitive period and Hundred Refinement Sect was in a precarious situation.
To be fair, if Hokkaidōjin had not returned in time, they did not know how they would have gotten through this ordeal.
Among Dao Lord Scarlet Star's three disciples, Yoo Han-yeon was going to participate in the Weapon Refinement Competition at the Thousand Crane Tea Party a month later – nothing could go wrong!
It was truly dangerous for Yoo Han-yeon and the other two to leave the sect at this moment.
"Do you know where they went?"
Dao Lord White Flames asked with a calm expression.
"I think they went to Wind Cloud City."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star was enraged as he grit his teeth. "Those three brats are really worrisome. I told them to stay in the sect but they refused to listen! If anything were to happen … "
Dao Lord Scarlet Star could not continue and was both angry and anxious.
"Don't panic first."
Dao Lord White Flames said in a deep voice, "Wind Cloud City is filled with cultivators from various major sects and factions of the Middle Continent. They're all from the righteous path and there shouldn't be anyone who would harm them."
"Furthermore, Wind Cloud City isn't too far from the sect. There shouldn't be any danger."
Dao Lord Scarlet Star shook his head. "I'm not worried about the righteous path. I'm worried about Hellfire Hall!"
"Ah!"
Even with Dao Lord White Flames' temperament, he could not help but exclaim at the mention of Hellfire Hall. His expression darkened instantly.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said, "As you know, the Master of Hellfire Hall has always wanted to obtain the Scarlet Flame Heart Sutra. Nangong Ling and the other two are the easiest targets for him to target!"
"Furthermore, Hellfire Hall suffered a huge setback last time. How can they let this matter rest?!"
At this moment, a voice rang out in their minds.
"Other than the three of them, who else went with them?"
Dao Lord Scarlet Star and Dao Lord Scarlet Star shuddered when they heard that voice.
Hokkaidōjin was using his divine sense to ask them!
Dao Lord Scarlet Star said hurriedly, "There's also Mo Ling. A cultivator from the sect saw him and he followed as well."
"Hmm … That's good. Perhaps there's still a chance."
Hokkaidōjin muttered to himself.
Dao Lord Scarlet Star pursed his lips in disapproval.
Although Mo Ling's seniority was high, he was merely a 100-year-old Genying Zhenjun! How high could his combat strength be?
Whether he was there or not, it did not matter at all.
Hellfire Hall had already failed once. If they really wanted to attack Nangong Ling and the other two, there was a high chance that they would send Void Reversions!
At that time, what use could Mo Ling be?
Could he use his seniority to scare his opponent to death?
In reality, Dao Lord Scarlet Star had still underestimated Hellfire Hall's determination!
Hokkaidōjin said, "Hurry and send experts of the sect to Wind Cloud City to look for them and bring them back to the sect!"
"Alright, I'll instruct my Void Reversion disciples to go!"
Dao Lord White Flames conjured hand seals and prepared to summon his disciples.
"No!"
Hokkaidōjin rejected immediately. "Scarlet Star, put down what you're doing and make a trip personally! You're at the Dharma Characteristic realm and your movement technique is fast. If anything happens, you'll be able to suppress it! "
When he heard that, Dao Lord Scarlet Star's heart skipped a beat.
He vaguely realized that things might be more serious than he had imagined!
"Alright, I'll go now!"
Without hesitation, Dao Lord Scarlet Star tore through the air in the direction of Wind Cloud City and disappeared from Hundred Refinement Sect before long.
"I hope everything will be fine,"
Dao Lord White Flames looked into the distance and murmured softly.
…
At the same time.
Su Zimo and the other three had already left Wind Cloud City and were speeding towards Hundred Refinement Sect on their spirit vessel Dharmic weapons.
This time round, Su Zimo was the one at the helm. He channeled his Dharmic powers with all his might and pushed the speed of the spirit vessel to its limits, chasing after the stars and moon!
Nangong Ling and the other two did not notice and were still excited, discussing the battle that happened in Wind Cloud City Just Now.
However, Su Zimo knew very well that the sense of danger that surrounded him did not disappear. Instead, it intensified!
"Little Uncle-Master, although you weren't famous in the past, this battle alone is enough to make you famous!"
Ru Xuan said happily, "Little Uncle-Master, don't worry. After we return to the sect, I'll definitely help you spread the news so that you can show off!"
Yoo Han-yeon smiled without saying anything.
The way Nangong Ling looked at Su Zimo had changed as well.
There was no longer any hostility from before. Instead, it was replaced with curiosity, admiration and respect.
"Little Uncle-Master, you're a sword cultivator. However, you don't seem to be suppressed at all when you fought against Jian Wuzong. What's going on?"
Nangong Ling leaned over and asked humbly.
Su Zimo had a grim expression as he released his spirit consciousness and stared at the thick night ahead in silence.
It was not that he was avoiding the question intentionally.
However, his mind was completely focused on checking out his surroundings and preparing to deal with any danger that could descend at any moment. As such, he truly did not hear Nangong Ling's question.
If this was in the past, Nangong Ling would have been enraged and mocked him right away.
However, this time round, Nangong Ling merely smiled embarrassedly and scratched her head before asking, "Little Uncle-Master, who's your master? Is he a sword cultivator as well? Is there such a powerful sword cultivator among the seniors of Hundred Refinement Sect? "
Su Zimo had once crippled Cheng Peng with a single sword qi.
At the city gates, he had once released a powerful intent and severed the swords of more than ten sword cultivators, defeating Jian Wuzong.
Therefore, it was not only Nangong Ling – even the cultivators of Wind Cloud City mistakenly thought that Su Zimo was a sword cultivator.
Su Zimo still did not answer. Instead, he frowned and his expression turned even more grim in the pitch-black night.
"Little Uncle-Master, what are you doing?"
Ru Xuan came over as well and asked curiously, "We've already left Wind Cloud City and there's no danger. Why are you in such a hurry to return?"
"Little Uncle-Master, come over and talk to us. “
Ru Xuan shook Su Zimo's arm gently and said coquettishly.
Yoo Han-yeon, who was silent at the side, finally noticed something amiss and asked softly, "Uncle-Master, is there any danger?"
Right then, Su Zimo finally spoke, "If anything happens later, escape immediately. Don't worry about me!"
"Ah?
Nangong Ling and the other two were slightly stunned with confused expressions.
Although they had been chatting along the way, they had also released their spirit consciousnesses to check out their surroundings – they did not discover any danger at all.
"Hehehehe!"
Right then, a sinister laughter sounded in the void, sending chills down one's spine!
"Kid, you're so sharp to be able to discover me! However, if the three of them can't escape, you can't escape either! "
