Yu Shangrong's curiosity was piqued.
He approached again.
Like a feather, she slowly landed on the roof. She used her best concealment method to suppress her aura.
As if there was nothing there.
Yu Shangrong looked at the faint blue light that rose into the air.
He could not understand it no matter how hard he thought about it.
He had never seen it before.
It was like the power of the barrier, but it wasn't.
Yu Shangrong could not help but extend his right hand.
"Who's sneaking around!?"
A low and deep voice erupted along with the specks of stars!
The firefly-like blue energy instantly condensed into Stellar Energy, fusing with the sound wave and shooting upwards!
Although Yu Shangrong did not expect this, he was a cultivator at his level. He had trained his body and protective energy.
Sensing danger approaching, he activated his Shield of Dipper Energy.
Bang!
"Hmm?"
Yu Shangrong frowned slightly as he continued to strike with his hands.
Stepping on the air, Zhang Xuan retreated swiftly.
Inside the house...
At this moment, Lu Zhou opened his eyes and looked around.
When he entered the state of comprehension of the Heavenly Book, he could roughly sense the situation outside, especially the place where the starlight appeared, which was a sensitive area.
When Yu Shangrong came into contact with it, he had sensed someone approaching.
When Lu Zhou recalled the assassin who had appeared earlier, he said without hesitation, "Yuan 'er."
With a shudder, Little Yuan 'er ran out of the room and stood outside Lu Zhou's room.
"Master?"
"Capture the assassin and bring him back … Prioritize your own safety. Don't give chase. Make haste," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes, master!"
Little Yuan 'er was overjoyed.
She loved the feeling of a cat chasing a mouse.
Leaping onto the roof, Zhang Xuan surveyed his surroundings.
Taking a look at his surroundings, Zhang Xuan sensed the location of the explosion of Origin Energy. Executing the Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps in the High Purity Jade Scroll, he disappeared in a flash.
Lu Zhou's sound technique alerted the Prince of Qi, Qin Jun.
Qin Jun quickly ran over.
"Old mister, what happened?" Qin Jun's heart was beating like a drum. From time to time, he would glance left and right.
The Fairy's Capital was supposed to be the safest place. Who would have thought that the Old Mister would cause such trouble upon his arrival?
"You're dismissed." Lu Zhou's voice rang out.
"Yes."
Qin Jun felt a little helpless. He looked at the roof and felt worried, so he sent someone to check the surroundings. At the same time, increase the patrols.
Meanwhile.
Little Yuan 'er left afterimages in the quiet and dim street.
He chased them all the way to the alleyway, and there was no longer any trace of Yuan Qi.
"Where is he?"
Little Yuan 'er found this strange.
She had the Cloud-Treading Boots, the Supreme Purity Jade Slip, and the Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps. Under normal circumstances, Little Yuan 'er would stand a chance against a Four or Five-leaf cultivator in terms of speed.
But he didn't expect his target to run so fast.
She thought of her master's words and nodded to herself. "He might be an expert … Let's not chase after him."
He turned around and was about to leave.
"Junior Sister …"
Yu Shangrong said.
Little Yuan 'er focused and saw Yu Shangrong walking out of the darkness. Under the gentle moonlight, he carried his sword with a faint smile on his face.
"Second, second senior brother?"
Yu Shangrong studied his little junior sister and praised her. "I didn't expect you to have a breakthrough in your cultivation base after obtaining the Cloud Feather Raiment. The Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm … not bad. "
"It's really you, Second Senior Brother!" Little Yuan 'er said happily. "Second Senior Brother, when did you become a thief?"
"Thief?" Yu Shangrong unfolded his arms and examined himself. How am I a thief? "
"Master asked me to bring you back!" Little Yuan 'er said.
Yu Shangrong chuckled softly and said, "Little junior sister … Why is master in the Divine Capital?"
When she heard this question, Little Yuan 'er lowered her head. She fiddled with a corner of her Nirvana Sash and said with slight sadness, "Master wants to investigate Fifth Senior Sister's background … Fifth Senior Sister is so pitiful. I've been feeling sorry for her for a long time."
Yu Shangrong could not help but laugh when he saw her sad expression.
He did not know what to say.
This further confirmed his opinion … This little junior sister, whom he had only met a few times, was indeed a girl who treated people with kindness.
"Is master well?" Yu Shangrong asked.
"Very well!" Little Yuan 'er answered honestly.
Yu Shangrong found this strange.
He had already used the barrier's power once. How could he still be in such a good condition?
A phrase appeared in Yu Shangrong's mind: the final radiance of the setting sun.
"Little junior sister … I still have matters to attend to. You should go back now," Yu Shangrong said with a warm smile.
"Oh."
"See you next time."
Yu Shangrong smiled and waved his hand lightly. Then, he crossed his arms again and walked toward the end of the alley. However, he did not walk on the ground. Instead, he walked on air. With a swoosh, he vanished from sight.
Little Yuan 'er scratched her head.
Something was amiss, but she could not put her finger on it.
Something was amiss, but she could not put her finger on it.
…
The Prince of Qi Mansion.
Little Yuan 'er felt as though she had done something wrong.
She stood in front of her master's door and said in a low voice, "Master, I wasn't skilled enough and let the thief escape. Please punish me, master."
"There's no need to blame yourself. He must be powerful to be able to escape your pursuit. You may leave, "Lu Zhou said.
"Master … I didn't expect Second Senior Brother to become a thief … He's too fast. I couldn't catch up to him!" Little Yuan 'er explained.
Lu Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this.
'Was that rascal Yu Shangrong on the roof?'
"Go and rest," Lu Zhou said.
"Yes, master."
Little Yuan 'er returned to her room.
Lu Zhou fell into deep thought.
'Why is that rascal, Yu Shangrong, here in the Divine Capital?
He had a feeling that Yu Zhenghai, Yu Shangrong, and Si Wuya knew his whereabouts like the back of their hands.
Furthermore, he was able to escape at the right timing every time.
When he was on his way to the Clarity Sect, the Four Great Protectors had acted as a hindrance. Then, he encountered Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai in Anyang City, presenting gifts. Then, he saw Yu Zhenghai's flying chariot on the Lotus Dais.
At this moment, he encountered Yu Shangrong in the Prince of Qi Mansion in the Divine Capital.
All the signs indicated that someone was paying close attention to his whereabouts.
At this moment, Lu Zhou closed his eyes and continued to meditate on the Heavenly Writing scrolls.
…
The next day, Prince of Qi Manor.
Early in the morning, Qin Jun and the butler waited outside Lu Zhou's room.
He waited for a long time, but there was no movement in the room.
Housekeeper Hong Fu felt that something was wrong and said, "Master, could something have happened? Early this morning, the city guards found many corpses nearby. They suspect that they were assassins. "
"Let's wait a little longer."
If he rashly disturbed the old man's rest, he would lose his head.
Another moment passed.
There was still no movement.
When the sun was high up in the sky, Qin Jun finally couldn't take it anymore. He bowed and said, "Old Mister."
There was no reply.
He waved his hand.
The old butler, Hong Fu, pushed the door open and entered the room.
Lu Zhou was nowhere to be seen.
Qin Jun sensed that something was amiss as well and ran over.
He swept his gaze across the room and saw nothing.
Qin Jun slapped his thigh.
Then, he said, "Inform Sect Master Yu that the old mister has left the Divine Capital. He might've gone to the Mausoleum of Swords."
"Understood."
However …
As soon as Qin Jun finished speaking …
Lu Zhou walked out of Little Yuan 'er's room. He stroked his beard lightly as he stared at Qin Jun.
