Ten days later, outside Sky City.
In the vast mountains, Zhong Shan and Ah Da stood at the peak of a towering black stone mountain.
Ah Da stood behind Zhong Shan. Zhong Shan looked into the distance, taking in the scenery of the mountain path in the distance.
"Sir, those people are still following us," Ah Da said worriedly.
"So what if they're following us? It's not easy for them, "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"But our route has been discovered. What secrets will we have when we retreat?" Ah Da said worriedly.
"It's fine. The path is in my heart. They won't be able to guess where we're going based on where we're staying. No, there's one person who can. But don't worry, I'll just create more routes for them to know, "Zhong Shan said with a smile.
"Yes," Ah Da replied immediately.
Fifteen days later. Viceroy's Mansion.
A mountain projection projected a large number of mountains and rivers. Yi Yan and Tie Xue stood at the side.
"Viceroy, Zhong Shan and the others stopped at these places. They shouldn't have discovered us, "Tie Xue pointed at the projection and said solemnly.
"Haha, stopped at these places? They didn't discover us? They discovered us long ago, "Yi Yan said with a bitter smile.
"How is that possible?" Tie Xue said in disbelief.
"Forget it, don't follow them anymore. Let's retreat, "Yi Yan shook his head and sighed.
"Yes," Tie Xue replied immediately.
Two months later.
"Sir, ten thousand miles to the west is Qili Town. Eight thousand miles to the southeast is …" Ah Da explained to the map.
When he explained Qili Town, Zhong Shan's pupils shrank.
Qili Town? Isn't that Lu Jianli's hometown? The prison guard he met in the prison last time? The Lu Jianli that he had some doubts about?
"Let's go to Qili Town," Zhong Shan said straightforwardly.
"Yes," Ah Da nodded immediately. Riding on the white cloud, he carried Zhong Shan towards the west.
Qili Town wasn't as big as Sky City. Inside, it was more like a mortal city in the Daikon State. There were walls, but these walls were only a few dozen meters high. They could only block some beasts and low-level demon beasts.
There were a large number of mortals and cultivators in the town. Most of the cultivators were in the form of aristocratic families. The highest cultivation level among them was only around the Golden Core stage.
Zhong Shan and Ada had entered the town, and they were already top-notch experts.
At the town gate, Zhong Shan and Ada landed on the cloud. None of the guards dared to stop them.
Riding a cloud? That was at least the Nascent Soul Stage. He looked at the two people who had suddenly appeared with great admiration.
Zhong Shan and Ada didn't pay any attention to other people's gazes as they walked into the city.
Zhong Shan wanted to find Lu Jianli's family, not to show off.
After entering the city, Zhong Shan inquired a little and found out the location of Lu Jianli's family.
It was indeed in Qili Town, and it was a newly risen aristocratic family.
Forty years ago, the Lu family was ordinary. They were a mortal family living at the bottom. Unexpectedly, Lu Jianli suddenly appeared in the Lu family forty years ago. Lu Jianli brought back cultivation techniques to the family, and the whole family embarked on the path of cultivation because of Lu Jianli.
However, they were still a small aristocratic family in Qili Town. Ten years ago, Lu Jianli suddenly left his fiancée and the whole family and disappeared.
Some people said that Lu Jianli was dead, and some said that Lu Jianli went to Sky City to become an immortal. However, the highest cultivation level of the Lu family was only at the Xiantian stage. Who would dare to cross the endless river and go to the legendary Sky City?
Zhong Shan only used a spiritual stone to blind a low-level cultivator. He nodded and bowed as he led the way for Zhong Shan.
"Senior, you came at the right time. The Zhao family said that they will go to the Lu family to kidnap the bride today." The guide said as he led the way.
"The Zhao family? Kidnap the bride? "Zhong Shan was puzzled as he walked.
"Yes, the number one aristocratic family in Qili Town. Apart from the mayor, the Zhao family is the biggest. I heard that the Zhao family has three or four Golden Core experts. Young master Zhao said that they will go to kidnap Lu Jianli's fiancée today. "The guide introduced.
"Kidnap Lu Jianli's fiancée?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"Yes, Lu Jianli is really lucky. He disappeared for ten years, but his fiancée is still waiting for him without any complaints. She even lived in the Lu family as the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. It's a pity that she is so beautiful. She has to wait for an empty room every day. The matchmakers are about to flatten the door of the Lu family. Even the Lu family doesn't have any hope that Lu Jianli is still alive. As for his fiancée, they let her be. If she wants to remarry, they won't stop her. However, if she doesn't want to remarry, she will always be a member of the Lu family. The Lu family will always protect her."
"Oh? Who said that? "Zhong Shan was surprised.
"The patriarch of the Lu family, Old Master Lu." The guide said.
"Old Master Lu?" Zhong Shan was taken aback. This Old Master Lu really did have the confidence of a hero.
"Old Master Lu is praised by everyone in town, and his words carry weight in the Lu family. It's a pity that the young master of the Zhao family has taken a fancy to him. The young master of the Zhao family is considered a tyrant in Qili Town. He is extremely lecherous, and as long as he fancies a woman, he will snatch her and bring her home. But I heard that the young master of the Zhao family has an excellent foundation, so the entire Zhao family dotes on him. Today is the day he will bring disaster to the Lu family. "The guide sighed.
Zhong Shan nodded. He was led to a large mansion in the western part of the town.
"Senior, this is the place." The guide said.
"Alright, you can leave." Zhong Shan nodded.
"Yes." The guide immediately replied. Although he still wanted to get some benefits, he knew how powerful the two people in front of him were. He naturally didn't dare to stay any longer.
There were two words written on the mansion:
Lu Estate
Found it. Zhong Shan was able to analyze some things from the guide's words. A cultivation technique brought back forty years ago, but mysteriously disappeared ten years ago. There was no news about it for ten years? Unusual. Even if he was a prison guard in Sky City, he could still ask for leave to come back. Unless there was something important in Sky City that he couldn't leave for ten years?
A large number of people had already gathered outside the Lu Estate.
At the entrance of the Lu Estate, a white-haired, white-browed old man stood at the front. Behind him were over twenty angry people, all of them holding swords and sabers. They looked like they were waiting for the old man's order to kill them at any time.
Beside the old man was a beautiful woman. At this moment, she was frowning and had a worried expression on her face.
The old man was clearly the patriarch of the Lu family. There was also a large group of people outside the gate. Half of them were dressed in black, holding swords and sabers, while the other half were dressed in red. They were carrying the bridal sedan and carrying the suona.
At the front was an extremely lecherous man. He was dressed in red, with a large red flower on his chest. He was dressed like a groom. The young master of the Zhao family.
Seeing this scene, Zhong Shan's heart trembled. He stood in a corner and took out a memory crystal. He slowly recorded it, and a faint smile appeared on his face. The heavens are really helping me. It's better to come early than to come at the right time.
"Old Master Lu, I respect your character. I'm only taking the bride today. Make way, I won't make things difficult for you." The groom, Young Master Zhao, said in a deep voice.
"Young Master Zhao, Du Na is the daughter-in-law of the Lu family. She's a member of the Lu family. Why are you here today? Are you going to violate the law of Qili Town? "Old Master Lu said coldly.
"My Zhao Clan is the Guardian of Qili Town. Old Master Lu, I can see that it's not easy for you to intimidate a clan with your peak Houtian cultivation at your age. Don't be so shameless. Do you believe that I won't slaughter your Lu Clan right now?" Young Master Zhao coldly said.
"You dare?" Old Master Lu glared at him.
"Hmph, why wouldn't I dare? Don't you rely on Lu Jian? You haven't heard from him for ten years. Maybe he's feeding the beasts in the mountains. Otherwise, why wouldn't he be back now? Hmph, so what if he's here? At most, he's at the Golden Core stage. Do you think my Zhao family is afraid of him? Now that he's not here, your Lu family only has five Xiantian cultivators. The people I brought here have ten Xiantian cultivators. A small Lu family wants to be my enemy? Du Na is still a virgin. How is she the daughter-in-law of the Lu family? "Young Master Zhao said coldly.
"Hmph, once you enter my Lu family, you're a member of my Lu family. No one in the Lu family is afraid of death. We weren't afraid in the past, we aren't afraid now, and we won't be afraid in the future. If you want to snatch a member of my Lu family, you'll have to step over our dead bodies first." Old Master Lu glared.
"You really don't want to live anymore?" Young Master Zhao's eyes were cold.
"It's not that I don't want to live anymore. The Lu family's glory for decades was brought here by Jian. Now that he's not here, if Du Na is snatched away by you, when Jian returns, how will we face him? Come, no one in the Lu family is afraid of death. Today, I want to see just how lawless you, Young Master Zhao, can be. Even if I become a malicious spirit after I die, I want to see how you will suffer retribution, "Old Master Lu said in a firm voice.
Old Master Lu's cultivation base wasn't high enough, but his bearing and aura were extremely fierce. Even young master Zhao, who had the absolute advantage, was momentarily intimidated by his aura, a trace of fear appearing in his heart. As for the people of the Lu family who were holding swords and sabers, other than a few who were afraid of death, most of them revealed a ferocious expression.
Young Master Zhao recovered from his shock and said angrily, "Kill, kill, don't leave a single one alive."
Just as the people behind young master Zhao were about to attack …
"Wait a moment!" Du Na suddenly called out from behind old master Zhao.
As expected, once she called out, everyone looked at her.
"What? Miss Du Na is willing to follow me? "Young master Zhao smiled lewdly.
"Daughter-in-law, don't worry. There's no one in the Lu family who's afraid of death. We'll block these people. I've already made arrangements for the Lu family. You should leave immediately," said Old Master Lu solemnly.
With tears in her eyes, Du Na looked at Old Master Lu and bowed respectfully, "Father, your daughter-in-law is an unfortunate person. Before our marriage, Jianli suddenly disappeared and we don't know if he's dead or alive. Today, he brought a disaster to the Lu family. I've let the Lu family down, I've let Jianli down. I can't watch the Lu family die because of me, but in your daughter-in-law's heart, I've long been Jianli's daughter-in-law. In life, I'm Jianli's person, and in death, I'm Jianli's person.
Old Master Lu knew things weren't good when he heard his daughter-in-law's words. He reached out to grab her, but it was too late. Du Na's thin sword was already at her throat. It was too late, so late that no one could save her. Furthermore, that sword's speed was definitely not something that could be stopped. Even if Du Na wanted to stop herself, she wouldn't be able to.
