Upon seeing this, Sage Xuan Shu's Divine Sense moved. He seemed to have sensed what had happened, so he smiled and said, "Let's go and take a look."
Hu Lili thanked Sage Xuan Shu solemnly, turned around, and hurried in the direction of Lu Ping's cave abode. Sage Xuan Shu followed behind Hu Lili unhurriedly.
Hu Lili walked to the front of Lu Ping's cave-dwelling and saw that the protective array formation around the cave-dwelling had crumbled. Not only that, it seemed like the protective array formation was broken through by brute force. Her face immediately turned cold. Enlightened Master Xuan Shu followed closely behind and frowned at the sight.
As soon as Hu Lili entered the cave abode, she heard Yuan Zhan's voice, "Junior Brother Zhang, you are not my match. It's better for you to move aside. If I don't go in and take a look, how can I be sure that the monster Yin Xuanchu is not inside? With you blocking me like this, could it be that Yin Xuanchu is really in Junior Brother Lu's cave abode?"
"Senior Brother Yuan, if you go any further, it will be Senior Brother Lu Ping's cultivation room. Without Senior Brother Lu's consent, you used brute force to break the array of Senior Brother Lu's cave abode and barge in. This is a taboo in the cultivation world. Now, you want to barge into his cultivation room, and you even brought an outsider with you. Aren't you afraid of Senior Brother Lu's reprimand?"
Hu Lili passed through the cave abode's corridor and came to the hall. She saw Zhang Xuancheng standing in front of Lu Ping's cultivation room, while Yuan Zhan, Xu Weihong, and a Soaring Feather Sect disciple were standing together, confronting Zhang Xuancheng.
Xu Weihong originally wanted to berate Zhang Xuancheng, but when he saw Hu Lili enter, he shut his mouth and waited to watch the show.
Hu Lili's expression was unfriendly, and she said to Yuan Zhan as soon as she entered, "Senior Brother Yuan, you are standing in the wrong position. I thought you should be standing by Junior Brother Zhang's side to block the outsiders."
Hu Lili didn't have a good impression of Yuan Zhan, Xu Weihong, and the others. With just a single sentence, Yuan Zhan's face turned red with sarcasm. Xu Weihong was also a little embarrassed. He immediately retorted, "The situation is very clear now. We were ordered by our respective sects' Laozu to accompany your esteemed sect to clean up your sect, and to act as witnesses. In reality, your esteemed sect is making all sorts of excuses. We will naturally report what we saw and heard to our own sect's Laozu."
When Yuan Zhan saw Hu Lili enter, his arrogance from before was greatly restrained, but he still braced himself and said, "Senior Sister Hu, since we're searching, why don't we search carefully? Could it be that Junior Brother Lu is really harboring that Yin Xuanchu?"
Hu Lili looked at Yuan Zhan seriously and asked, "Are you sure you want to barge into Junior Brother Lu's cultivation room?"
Yuan Zhan's expression fluctuated while Xu Weihong chuckled coldly behind him. Yuan Zhan seemed to have made up his mind and said, "Since it's to clean up the sect, Yin Xuanchu naturally can't be allowed to live. We must capture him even if we have to dig three feet into the ground."
Hu Lili sneered and said to Zhang Xuancheng beside her, "Junior Brother Zhang, move aside. Let him search!"
Zhang Xuancheng was still a little hesitant. He glanced at Hu Lili as if to confirm what she had just said, only to see Hu Lili nod. Zhang Xuancheng then glared fiercely at Yuan Zhan and moved to the side.
Seeing Hu Lili openly move aside the door to Lu Ping's cultivation room, Yuan Zhan had an inexplicable bad premonition in his heart. However, the arrow was already nocked on the bow and he had no choice but to enter.
Yuan Zhan walked towards the door of the cultivation room when Hu Lili suddenly said, "Junior Brother Yuan, I hope that you only entered this cultivation room to find Junior Brother Yin Xuanchu and not have any other motives."
Yuan Zhan's footsteps paused, and his expression changed indeterminately. However, he still walked towards the cultivation room in the end, and Xu Weihong chuckled as he followed. Zhang Xuancheng intended to go forward and stop him, but Xu Weihong seemed to have sensed it and said, "We're witnesses. If Yin Xuanchu is really in the cultivation room, then we can be witnesses."
Hu Lili grabbed Zhang Xuancheng, who was about to step forward, and shook her head at him.
Yuan Zhan walked to the door of Lu Ping's cultivation room. He saw that the entire door of the cultivation room was covered by a thick layer of restriction light screen. Yuan Zhan looked at these complicated restrictions with surprise and a trace of anticipation.
Naturally, he was surprised by this layer of restriction light screen. It was obvious that only those who had a certain level of proficiency in restriction techniques could set up this layer of restriction light screen. In his heart, his fear of Lu Ping deepened. Naturally, he was looking forward to what Hu Lili had warned him before. He naturally did not come in purely for the ridiculous reason of searching for Yin Xuanchu. In fact, even he did not believe that Yin Xuanchu would hide here and not escape as soon as possible.
Seeing that Hu Lili was indifferent, Yuan Zhan could only look to Xu Weihong for help. However, Xu Weihong seemed to be playing dumb and asked, "Junior Brother Yuan, is there anything I can do for you?"
Hu Lili sneered at the side while Zhang Xuancheng had a look of disdain. Yuan Zhan's expression changed. He stared at Xu Weihong's smiling face and said word by word, "I wonder if Senior Brother Xu still has a restriction breaking talisman on you?"
Xu Weihong seemed as if he was suddenly enlightened, and he took out a talisman that flickered with golden light from within his sleeve. He said, "So Junior Brother Yuan wants this thing. Since Little Brother has it here, how could I be stingy!?"
He handed the restriction breaking talisman to Yuan Zhan. Zhang Xuancheng whispered to Hu Lili, "Just now, the array outside the cave mansion was also broken by two Formation Breaking Talismans."
Hu Lili nodded. She was an expert in array formations. Although she wasn't an expert in charms, she was still more knowledgeable than the others when it came to breaking array formations. Although Lu Ping's cave-dwelling's defensive array formation wasn't of the best quality, Hu Lili had already guessed that Yuan Zhan and the others were able to break through the cave-dwelling's defensive array formation without alerting the people on the island. However, she didn't expect Yuan Zhan to use Xuan Ling Sect's Array Breaking Charms. In other words, Xuan Ling Sect was well prepared for this.
What was Xuan Ling Sect trying to do?
Naturally, Hu Lili did not think that Xuan Ling Sect was just trying to sow discord between Zhenling's disciples. Xuan Ling Sect did not need to pay such a huge price for just one Yuan Zhan. Although Lu Ping was qualified, how could Yuan Zhan be worthy of being Lu Ping's opponent?
While Hu Lili was still thinking, Yuan Zhan had already received Xu Weihong's restriction breaking talisman and placed it on the cultivation room's door. Layers of light flickered on the door, then disappeared bit by bit. The thick layer of restriction was getting thinner and thinner. However, when the restriction breaking talisman burned out, there was only a thin layer of restriction left.
Yuan Zhan's expression changed while Xu Weihong sucked in a breath of cold air. He thought to himself, "What a profound restriction!"
Then, Xu Weihong looked at Yuan Zhan in front of him with an amused expression, waiting for him to speak again. At this point, there was no reason for Yuan Zhan to back down. Lu Xuanping also would not bury the hatchet with Yuan Zhan just because Yuan Zhan had only used one restriction breaking talisman but failed to break the cultivation room's restriction. However, it was not easy to make a restriction breaking talisman and restriction breaking talisman. Including the two restriction breaking talismans at the cave entrance, even Xu Weihong felt his heart ache.
When Hu Lili saw Yuan Zhan take another restriction breaking talisman from Xu Weihong's hand, her eyes seemed to be deep in thought. A moment later, Hu Lili seemed to have thought of something. She looked left and right but found nothing. Where did Spiritual Master Xuan Shu go?
At this moment, Lu Ping, who was already flying towards Universe Island with Yin Xuanchu, changed his expression the instant the cultivation room's restriction was broken. He immediately recovered. When Ji Xuanxuan saw this, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior Brother Lu, is something wrong?"
Lu Ping's speed didn't change as he said, "It's nothing. The people who captured Junior Brother Yin have already arrived at Huang Li Island. It looks like Senior Sister Hu won't be able to hold on for much longer. With Martial Uncle Xuan Shu's abilities, I think they'll soon discover where we're going. We need to speed up."
Unfortunately, after the battle on Huang Li Island, everyone was more or less injured. Immediately after, they went out to sea to escort Yin Xuanchu. Even though they had the support of Lu Ping's superior recovery pills, which allowed them to temporarily recover from their injuries, the True Essence in their bodies couldn't support them for a long period of time.
Shi Lingling said, "We can't go on like this. I'm afraid that when the pursuers catch up, only Junior Brother Lu and you three will be able to put up a fight."
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then said, "This is my negligence. Since it's like this, then we'll split into three groups. Senior Sister Shi, Senior Sister Ma Yu, Senior Brother Zhong Jian, the three of you will form a group and recover your True Essence. If the pursuers behind us come, the three of you will just have to think of a way to obstruct them. You must not fight them to the death."
Lu Ping thought for a moment, then said, "I'll leave the Azure Phoenix here as a helper. If things don't go well, you can just run. I think that as long as the three of you reveal your identities as disciples of the sect, Martial Uncle Xuan Shu won't make things difficult for you. However, when you return to the sect, a punishment is unavoidable."
Zhong Jian smiled and said, "That's nothing. Since we came out today, we've already been on the sect's punishment list. The sect has to give the other sects an impression. However, our sect has always been protective of our own. The matter with Junior Brother Yin was already forced by our sect, so there's no reason for us to make an example out of it. In the end, it's all bark and no bite."
Lu Qin-er transformed into a phoenix and descended onto a deserted island with the three of them. The three of them and the phoenix quickly recovered their True Essence while quietly waiting for the pursuers behind them to arrive.
After flying for a period of time, Chen Lian and the others also couldn't take it anymore. Lu Ping had Chen Lian, Du Feng, and Spiritual Master Xuan Tao hide on a reef and left behind pills to recover True Essence. Then, he continued flying towards Vast Universe Island with Yin Xuanchu and Ji Xuanxuan.
Ji Xuanxuan said hesitantly, "Senior Brother Lu, are we really going to force our way into Vast Universe Island? With just the three of us? "
Lu Ping said in a deep voice, "It's just a pretense. Actually, everyone has already thought of it. It's just that out of trust in me, no one exposed it. Currently, even though our sect's Tian Xue Laozu and Xuan Ling Sect's Dao Yan Laozu aren't on Vast Universe Island, it's not like the other sects don't have Laozu overseeing them. How can the three of us charge in? Our target is a secret location in the outer seas of Vast Universe Island. You'll know once we get there."
The restriction on Huang Li Island's cultivation room was finally broken. A dense Spiritual Qi was like a mountain torrent that had been accumulating for a long time. In the instant the restriction was broken, it surged out from the cultivation room. Not only Yuan Zhan, Xu Weihong, and the Soaring Feather Sect's disciple, even Zhang Xuancheng, who was standing beside Hu Lili, revealed an astonished expression.
This level of density of Spiritual Qi could only be achieved by at least half a mid-tier Spiritual Vein!
Yuan Zhan revealed an expression of anticipation as he impatiently walked towards the cultivation room.
