Chapter 1786 - 1783: Search and Capture

Chapter 1786: Chapter 1783: Search and Capture

Ling Feng sighed, then gently touched Ximen Shuang’s hair and said softly, "Stop talking nonsense and stop worrying! No one can harm the person I want to protect."

A flash of emotion passed through Ximen Shuang’s eyes. She bit her lip gently, "Big Brother Lei, thank you!"

Ling Feng tapped her smooth forehead, "You silly girl! Alright, let’s discuss our next move now!"

Ximen Shuang nodded obediently, "Okay, what should we do next?"

Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said, "We can now be sure that Ximen Yu has allied with the Storm Sect. They are surely hunting for us all over the place. If we are discovered, it will be very difficult to escape again!"

Ximen Shuang also nodded, "The Storm Sect is very powerful, and we are weak. If only we could contact our family! It’s a pity the airship has been destroyed; otherwise, we could use the device on the airship to send a rescue signal to the family!"

Ling Feng shook his head, "There’s no use talking about that now. Let’s think about how to shake off the Storm Sect’s pursuit! I have a plan, but it’s quite risky."

Ximen Shuang’s eyes showed a curious expression, "What plan?"

...

Within the Storm Sect’s sphere of influence, almost all powers, big and small, have been affected by the Storm Sect’s bounty order. Ling Feng is labeled as the super thief who stole from the Storm Sect’s treasury. Whoever can provide information about Ling Feng will receive a massive reward from the Storm Sect.

Inside the Storm Sect, almost all the powers are going crazy; as long as they can capture Ling Feng, they can befriend the Storm Sect and even receive a huge reward from the sect. So they started a carpet search.

"From the moment we found out they escaped and issued the hunting order, less than a day has passed, and they have no means of transportation. This means their activity range should be on these few planets!" Qiancheng pointed at the star map floating in midair while inside the Storm Sect.

Ling Feng’s planet of refuge was impressively among those in the range he pointed out.

"The probability is high that they’re hiding on these planets!" Qiancheng said, "So my suggestion is to conduct a carpet search on these planets. Once any trace of him is found, surround immediately—don’t let them escape!"

"This is just your speculation. If they aren’t in this range, would we not be wasting our energy?" another Storm Sect senior couldn’t help but ask.

Qiancheng looked at the person speaking without any expression on his face, "What does Master Kai Lin suggest? Do you have a better plan?"

The man speaking, named Kai Lin, held a position in the Storm Sect higher than Qiancheng.

He looked at Qiancheng and said blandly, "I just think your method will only alert the enemy. We don’t even know the opponent’s trump cards or why he could shake off Ximen Yu. Acting hastily will only make the enemy more alert!"

Qiancheng smiled slightly, "Master Kai Lin is right. We indeed don’t know the opponent’s entire plan, but don’t forget, he is just at the Mid Sky Realm. Even if he has some cards, can he really hurt our Storm Sect?"

"Our Storm Sect, as one of the Three Great Powers in the Ancient Ruins, is hesitating before a mere Azure Sky Realm expert. Isn’t that becoming a laughingstock for other powers?" Qiancheng said arrogantly, "Of course, I understand Master Kai Lin’s meaning, but I still believe they haven’t gone very far."

Kai Lin’s face showed a trace of anger, and he began to argue with Qiancheng.

With each retort, neither would yield; both argued valid points and left everyone present a bit bewildered!

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Storm Sect coughed, "Enough, look at how you’re behaving over a small Ximen Shuang!"

With the Sect Master speaking so, both stopped arguing, but they glared at each other unwillingly.

The Sect Master pondered for a moment and said, "Qiancheng is correct; the opponent is just a little Mid Sky Realm guy. There’s no need to be overly anxious, but we must avoid being blindsided. We must kill Ximen Shuang and seize the Ghost Spirit Grass she holds to ensure Ximen Tian’s injuries don’t recover."

"Therefore, the importance of Ximen Shuang is self-evident! I quite agree with Qiancheng’s analysis; within a day of their departure, they wouldn’t have gone far. If we block those planets and conduct a carpet search, we can certainly catch her!"

The Sect Master looked at Qiancheng as he spoke, "Qiancheng, if I entrust you with this matter fully, how many days will you need to capture them?"

Qiancheng’s face showed a gleeful expression, "Within a week, I will surely capture them; otherwise, I’ll present my head as an apology!"

"Alright, I will entrust this matter to you entirely!" the Sect Master said sternly, "I can give you ten days. Within ten days, I must see Ximen Shuang, alive or dead. If you fail, you should know what to do!"

Qiancheng took a deep breath, "I, Qiancheng, swear to complete this mission!"

...

At this moment, Ling Feng once again brought Ximen Shuang into the house within the Sky Spirit Stone. Ling Feng had found out about the power distribution on this planet.

Although the Storm Sect dominated on this planet, there were still dozens of smaller powers with varying strengths.

"Has the Envoy from the Storm Sect issued orders again?" In one of the smaller powers, its leader looked at the portrait in his hand and couldn’t help frowning, "An expert at the Mid Sky Realm; if we encounter him, we have no strength to block him!"

But the orders from the Storm Sect couldn’t be ignored; he could only issue them down, telling his men to increase vigilance and be careful.

"However, if we could really capture him, our Sect of Universal Prosperity would absolutely become the core member of the Storm Sect!" The Sect Hierarch’s eyes were glowing with hope, "Unfortunately, no one in our sect is a match for him. Even I, only have strength at the Early Stage of the Azure Sky Realm."

"You do have quite the self-awareness!" While the Sect Hierarch of the Sect of Universal Prosperity muttered as he commanded, a teasing voice came from behind him.

"Who is it!" The Sect Hierarch of the Sect of Universal Prosperity immediately turned around, assuming a defensive position.

But he felt a blur in front of him, then a coolness in his chest, as a longsword pierced into his chest.

"It’s you!" The Sect Hierarch of the Sect of Universal Prosperity looked at the familiar man in front of him, and desperation rose in his heart, "He’s stronger than the envoy said!"
