Fan Boyu reached out and grabbed, and Du Yueyaoâs guard was involuntarily pulled from the third-floor stairway to the front of the three.
Then he directly grabbed him and flew out of the third-floor window of Leping Building.
Lu Zhengâs eyes flashed, and before Fan Boyu moved, he waved his hand to create an illusion of Fan Boyu and himself taking the guard from the stairway. Then he also immediately went invisible, lifted his body into the air, and chased after Fan Boyu.
"What is going on?"
Lu Zheng caught up to Fan Boyu and saw him flying towards the outskirts of the city, questioning the guard, "Lead the way!"
"Just northwest of the city, on the official road heading towards Yizhou Prefecture. We traveled over twenty miles, just turned past Huishan Pass, with no one in front or behind, when a gust of wind suddenly rolled up at the pass, lifting the carriage top and taking Missy into the wind."
The guard pointed northwest, saying, "Over there!"
"Which way did the wind blow?"
"Westward!"
Fan Boyuâs face was gloomy as he hurriedly flew.
Lu Zheng asked in a deep voice, "Primordial Saint Sect?"
"I donât know!" Fan Boyu said, "I havenât received any news of New Sectâs Sacrificial Priest entering Lingbei Dao."
A moment later, the two landed at the place where Du Yueyao was abducted.
All they saw was an almost broken-down carriage moved to the roadside, with the coachman trembling in fear waiting by the side.
Fan Boyu and Lu Zheng descended, one performing the Primordial Saint Sectâs secret technique, the other performing the White Cloud Templeâs direct lineage Qi Observation Technique.
Moments later...
Fan Boyuâs eyes were fierce, "Canât find! It is indeed the Primordial Saint Sect!"
Our own kind, naturally know how to shield our own.
"Found it!" Lu Zheng shouted.
The other party only focused on covering traces that same sect members could find, but didnât completely seal it, ultimately allowing Lu Zheng to find a trace of Liu Qingyan remaining on Du Yueyao.
"Pursue!" Fan Boyu said.
Lu Zheng nodded, saying to the guard, "You head back first, inform the Liu Family."
"Yes!" the guard quickly clasped his fists, knowing he couldnât help at all, passing the message was his limit.
Lu Zheng soared into the clouds, not heading west, but swiftly towards the southwest.
Fan Boyu grinned, "I knew it!"
Both flew rapidly, Lu Zheng asking while flying, "Who could the other side be?"
Fan Boyu said in a deep voice, "There are not many priests in the New Sect stronger than me; those stronger wouldnât personally come to the Central Plains to abduct people."
Lu Zheng nodded, reassured.
He was a bit worried before that he and Fan Boyu couldnât stop the opponent; if the opponent flew all the way back to the Primordial Saint Sect, things would get troublesome.
"Huh?"
After flying a few hundred miles, Lu Zhengâs expression suddenly tightened. He stopped his figure and looked at a seemingly ordinary mountain peak below on his left.
"What happened?" Fan Boyu asked.
"Yueyao is in that cave."
"How can it be?" Fan Boyu was puzzled, "Why not just send her directly all the way back?"
Even if worried about attracting attention flying back, going through mountains and forests, itâs not enough reason to stop after just a few hundred miles, right?
At that moment, a person emerged from the cave midway up the mountain, looking at the two, shocked, "Fan Boyu!"
"Zhao Wuji!"
Fan Boyu was dumbfounded, "Why are you here? Arenât you supposed to be guarding closely... has Saintess Xueyi also come to the Central Plains?"
Then, Fan Boyu looked behind Zhao Wuji, and his expression instantly became serious.
Lu Zhengâs eyes twitched, his Divine Thought tried to sense the situation inside the cave but was blocked by a layer of True Qi Barrier.
No wonder Fan Boyu hadnât received any news from the Primordial Saint Sect; it turns out the New Sectâs Saintess personally came, naturally, he wouldnât know.
"Damn it!"
Lu Zheng cursed, and before he could act, Zhao Wuji had already moved.
Zhao Wuji pointed, and a black Spell Seal shot out like lightning.
Lu Zhengâs face sank, he shot out a Flying Cloud Evil-breaking Curse with one hand, descended from the cloud while urgently asking Fan Boyu, "How long does the Holy Goddess Descent Technique take?"
"Depends on the situation! If the altar array is fully set up, it would only take an hour or two." Fan Boyu replied, his face fierce.
Du Yueyao is his disciple, a formally-apprenticed one!
Du Yueyao has already cultivated Qi Sensitivity, the people of the Primordial Saint Sect would immediately recognize her as a fellow disciple!
But now sheâs been captured by Saintess Xueyi, the New Sect is really acting without any scruples!
Zhao Wuji waved his hands, and countless flowers, plants, and trees in the forest withered instantly, converging into hundreds of Rune Curse Seals, surging towards Fan Boyu and Lu Zheng.
Lu Zhengâs eyes twitched, and he turned to ask, "Doesnât the New Sect have few wizards stronger than you?"
"Heart-Breaking Curse! Life-taking Guide!"
Fan Boyu moved his hand prints, replying fiercely, "Heâs one of them!"
Fan Boyu roared angrily, "Iâll hold him off, you go to the cave and interrupt Saintess Xueyiâs casting!"
Zhao Wuji shouted sternly, "Fan Boyu, you actually colluded with outsiders to block the Saintess?"
"I donât believe you canât tell that the girl has already cultivated the Holy Sectâs âSu Nuâs Prayer Methodâ!"
Zhao Wuji sneered coldly, "Since she hasnât undergone the entry sacrifice, sheâs not a disciple of the Holy Sect."
"See!" Fan Boyu turned to Lu Zheng, "Didnât I say so?"
"Nonsense!"
Lu Zheng shattered more than a dozen Spell Seal attacks, "Thatâs just an excuse, you actually believed it? No wonder the Original Sect is being suppressed by the New Sect!"
Fan Boyu, "..."
The next moment, Lu Zhengâs feet landed, ignoring the Spell Seals still circling around his body, his feet sank, and he instantly disappeared into the ground.
"Earth Travel Technique!"
Zhao Wuji was taken aback, turning to head towards the cave.
But this time, Fan Boyu didnât let Zhao Wuji leave, backhanding a Dissipation Curse Seal to block Zhao Wujiâs way.
Zhao Wuji stopped, coolly turning back, "Do you think he can break through the Saintessâs array?"
...
Underground, as soon as Lu Zheng approached, he discovered a True Qi Barrier integrated into the ground, seemingly thin but indestructible.
Lu Zhengâs eyes tightened, Earth Travel canât perform casting, so he could only lift his form upward and emerge from the surface of the cave floor.
His right hand flipped, holding the Peach Wood Sword, True Qi surged, the sword tip pointing straight ahead.
"Qingwei Yu Chen, Taiyi Five-Thunder Strike!"
The most powerful Thunder Technique in the Qingwei Yu Chen Thunder Technique, and Lu Zhengâs strongest single-target attack method at present.
"Boom!"
"Taiyi Five-Thunder Strike! Boom boom boom!"
Without Zhao Wujiâs obstruction and no internal support from the array members, Lu Zheng launched five Thunder Curses in succession, shattering the array in one go.
"Thunder Technique!?"
Outside the cave came Zhao Wujiâs exasperated shout, then he rushed in despite Fan Boyuâs attack, swiftly arriving.
Of course, Lu Zheng wouldnât wait for him, quickly entering the cave, reaching an open area inside the cave in two steps.
Inside the cave, the situation instantly unfolded before his eyes.
