Little Tanuki panicked. Through the blood contract between them, Little Tanuki had always been able to sense Lu Xuan's presence. It was also because of this feeling that it was able to find Lu Xuan from the Sikong family. And Lu Xuan's presence had disappeared. The most likely explanation was that Lu Xuan had fallen.
"Impossible! Impossible, how could Xuan die? " Little Tanuki trembled all over, staring in the direction of Heaven Fiend Valley. It had a strong urge to turn back, but it couldn't do so because Lu Xuan absolutely didn't want it to do so.
Even if it wanted to find Lu Xuan, it had to first send news of Lu Xuan's whereabouts, then hand over the Archaeoctopus to the Nine Eastern Alliance. Only then would it be able to search for Lu Xuan without any worries.
Just as Little Tanuki's mind was in a whirl, it suddenly had a flash of inspiration. "No! Xuan isn't dead! "
It was true that it could no longer sense Lu Xuan's presence, but it could clearly feel that the contract between it and Lu Xuan hadn't been broken! This was because the Shadow Raccoon could only sign a blood contract with one person. Only if that person died could it form a contract with another person.
Since the contract was still there, it was enough to prove that Lu Xuan was still alive. It was just that he might be in a place that Little Tanuki couldn't sense. This place could be very far, or it could be sealed by some kind of energy.
"Let's find that guy called Ning Yi first. He must know a way to return to the Nine Eastern Alliance." Little Tanuki quickly made a decision.
Ning Yi was Lu Xuan's last resort. At the beginning of the operation, he had already prepared for failure. Everything Ning Yi did was to quickly evacuate the people of the Dark Shadow Hall and completely give up on monitoring the Holy Temple of Eight Directions.
It was because Ning Yi was outside presiding that the Ten Thousand Treasures Tower and the Dark Shadow Hall could escape before the Sikong family could investigate. According to the previous plan, A 'Li should have gone to Ning Yi first after it succeeded. However, it was worried about Lu Xuan's safety, so it went to Lu Xuan first.
At that moment, Ao Ze, Nangong Lie, Nangong Tianyou, Ning Yi and some of his subordinates were gathered in a small mountain village quite a distance away from Heaven Saint City.
This village was one of the Alliance's most secretive strongholds. The only one who knew about it was Ning Yi. When he learned that Yi Yong, the leader of the Shadow Hall, had betrayed the Alliance, Ning Yi knew that no other stronghold was safe.
At this time, most of the fleeing Dark Shadow Hall martial artists and the surviving Nangong Family martial artists had been sent away by Ning Yi. Only a few of them were left.
"Ao Ze, Nangong Family Head, both of you should leave as well." Ning Yi looked at them and said, "Right now, the Sikong Clan is conducting a large-scale search. This place will be exposed sooner or later. By then, it will be too late."
Ao Ze said in a low, muffled voice, "I'm not leaving. Master and A 'Li haven't returned yet. I want to wait for them."
"I'll stay here and investigate. If I find anything, I'll inform you immediately. You won't be able to do anything even if you stay here," Ning Yi said again.
Nangong Lie sighed and said, "I really did not expect Yi Yong to be a traitor. If it were not for him, we would have been able to obtain a complete victory this time. Brother Lu would not be in such a dangerous situation right now."
"Man proposes, God disposes! Anyone else's betrayal would have been fine, but Yi Yong's betrayal was too great. He knew everything about the Dark Shadow Hall. " Ning Yi also sighed, but then said, "But this is good. At least we've removed this nail. It's a pity that the young master …"
Ning Yi had already learned about Lu Xuan's true identity from Nangong Lie and the others. Now, he finally understood why the headquarters valued Lu Xuan's safety so much and requested him to protect Lu Xuan's life. But now, he was powerless even though he wanted to.
Nangong Lie was about to speak again, but his expression suddenly changed. He shouted in a low voice, "Prepare for battle! An expert is coming! "
As soon as he said that, everyone's expression changed. Nangong Tianyou quickly took out his long spear. Ning Yi opened the door and took the lead to step out. At the same time, a ray of flowing light rushed over and landed directly in front of them.
Nangong Lie was slightly startled when he saw the figure of the person who came. He quickly said, "Don't attack, they're on our side!"
After saying that, he took two steps forward and looked at the two people who had landed on the ground. He said in surprise, "Old Union Master Ye, what's going on with you? Where's Brother Lu? "
The people who came were naturally Ye Wenjun and Ye Ruida. Others might not know about this place, but how could Ye Ruida not know? Under his guidance, Ye Wenjun brought him straight here.
However, Ye Ruida's current appearance shocked Nangong Lie and the others. They had not seen him for a short period of time, but Ye Ruida had simply aged beyond recognition. Moreover, he seemed to be on the verge of collapsing at any time. On the other hand, Nangong Lie could not figure out Ye Wenjun, who was supporting Ye Ruida. After all, Ye Wenjun's aura was somewhat terrifying. He did not know when such an expert had come to the Ye Family.
"Cough cough, this is a senior of my Ye Family, the former Sword Demon." Ye Ruida coughed twice and briefly introduced Ye Wenjun's identity. Currently, there were not many people in the Heavenly Sword Continent who knew him.
However, although there were not many who knew him, there were many who had heard of his name. Hearing that the person in front of him was actually the former Sword Demon, Ye Wenjun, Nangong Lie was immediately shocked. He did not expect that this matter would actually alarm such an expert.
"Junior Nangong Lie greets Senior Sword Demon. I did not expect that even Senior Sword Demon would come. However … why did Senior Sword Demon not bring Brother Lu back?" Nangong Lie was a little confused. Lu Xuan was taken away by Ye Ruida, but Ye Wenjun only brought Ye Ruida back. Could it be that Lu Xuan … A frightening thought emerged in Nangong Lie's mind.
"I was intercepted by Sikong Zhengqing. He let Little Xuan leave first. However, I did not expect Sikong Zhengqing to send someone else to chase after Little Xuan. I was saved by my granduncle, but Little Xuan is now … I don't know if he is dead or alive." Ye Ruida's face showed a trace of regret. If he had known that Ye Wenjun would come, he would not have let Lu Xuan leave first. He would have risked his life to hold on until Ye Wenjun arrived.
"Don't worry. With my threat, Sikong Zhengqing will definitely not dare to do anything to Little Xuan. At most, he will use Little Xuan to threaten us. We will discuss this when we return to the Jiuhua Alliance. No matter the cost, we must save Little Xuan from the hands of the Sikong family, "Ye Wenjun said coldly.
Nangong Lie was a little shocked. Ye Wenjun's position in the Ye family was obvious. His words represented the Jiuhua Alliance's position. From what he said, it seemed that Lu Xuan was more important to the Ye family than Nangong Lie had imagined.
Just as they were talking, another golden light streaked across the sky and appeared in front of them all of a sudden.
When he saw this figure, Ao Ze immediately stood up happily. "Little Tanuki!"
"Big Blockhead, you really did survive!" Little Tanuki was also happy to see Ao Ze. Now that she was sure that Lu Xuan was still alive, and seeing that her best friend, Ao Ze, was also alive, there was no need to explain her joy.
Nangong Lie had long known of Little Tanuki's existence, but he did not know where Lu Xuan had sent her. Now that he saw what Little Tanuki was holding, he cried out in surprise, "Parasite!"
