Chapter 196 - Birds of Prey Seek Help
Chapter 196 - Birds of Prey Seeking Assistance
"An explosive strike from the middle stage of JieDan!"
Lu Chang'an opened his eyes and a trace of astonishment spread across his face.
Viewing the aura of that mana fluctuation, the person who struck was most likely a Huang Long Realist.
According to his previous understanding, the Yellow Dragon Realist has only one more chance to strike, and the threat should not be strong.
However, the strike that erupted in the distance just now was beyond Lu Changan's expectation, far beyond the ordinary middle stage of JieDan, and even close to the late stage of JieDan.
With Huang Long Zhen Zhen's state of exhaustion, even if he had even more powerful secret pills and secret techniques, it was reasonable to say that he couldn't do this.
With only a few days of life left in his body, there is no more vitality or energy to be squeezed out.
"Could it be that the Yellow Dragon Realist has exploded his own life magic treasure?"
Lu Changan was a late-stage JieDan major cultivator in his previous life, and with a flash of light, he thought of a possibility.
The Yellow Dragon Realist's original treasure, the Yellow Dragon Mountain Seal, had been contained for hundreds of years, and even if it was not supported by powerful mana, once it blew itself up, the power would still be beyond common sense.
This is the first time I've ever seen the Yellow Dragon in the world, and I've never seen it before.
Lu Changan did not sense the same level of mana fluctuations, as if a flash in the pan.
He sighed long and hard.
The former Liang No. 1 loose cultivator, the legendary pandan real person who has been famous for hundreds of years, has finally fallen behind the curtain of the era.
Not long ago, that old man in his twilight years, and Lu Chang'an together to taste tea and talk, talk together.
Lu Chang'an did not feel sorry or pity.
Because Huanglong real person is considered to be a person of luck, hundreds of years of brilliant life, let 99% of the cultivators can not reach.
He just felt some empathy.
The level and status achieved by Huang Long Zhen Zhen was similar to Lu Chang'an's previous life.
After hundreds of years, his lifespan had reached the end of his days, and he was unable to touch the path to heaven at the Yuanying stage.
......
"Fellow Daoist Lu, you also noticed the commotion just now?"
It wasn't long before Fairy Shifu, wearing a long plain colored dress, visited Little Turtle Peak.
"Uh-huh."
Lu Chang'an nodded and discussed briefly with Shi Manrong.
Shi Manrong speculated that the movement of the battle just now might be related to the Yellow Dragon Mountain lineage.
Recently, only Yellow Dragon Mountain has been experiencing major unrest in the surrounding area.
Lu Chang'an, who knew the truth, recognized this. "The carriage that came to Little Turtle Peak yesterday, was it someone from Yellow Dragon Mountain?"
Fairy Shifu's eyes were as light as clear water, and she said with a smile but not a laugh.
When Fu Dong and Huang Long Zhen Zhen came over, they both disguised themselves, so ordinary cultivators could not see the clues.
"That's right, they were originally looking for Apothecary Ye. They had no choice but to let me, a half-assed person, help them, and treat the dead horse as a living horse......."
Lu Chang'an simply recounted the general situation, hiding part of the truth.
Anyway, this matter can not be hidden from the people who have the heart.
Fu Xuemei's injury was not a terminal illness, nor was it a case of bringing the dead back to life. Lu Chang'an's role in saving her life is not known to the outside world except to the people involved.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you interested in accompanying my concubine over to explore?"
Shi Manrong suggested.
After analyzing the situation, the two suspected that He Yuanwu had joined forces with his cultivators to track down Fu Xuemei, who had fled with serious injuries, to plot the legacy of the Yellow Dragon Mountain.
There was only a True Dan level of mana fluctuation coming from the scene, most likely it was a stalemate between the two.
"If He Yuanwu perishes or escapes with serious injuries, we can rescue fellow Daoist Ye."
Fairy Shi added.
"Oh, I forgot about Fellow Daoist Ye! In that case, it is indeed necessary for us to make a trip over there."
Lu Chang'an said with a straight face.
He determined that the True Dan level mana fluctuation came from the Huang Long Zhen Zhen, who had already perished.
Then, there are no more True Dan level warriors at the scene.
The surviving False Pill real people are either dead or injured.
If the hostiles had true dan combat power, they would not need to be so concerned about facing a seriously injured and unconscious Fu Xuemei, and would not dare to make a move easily.
For Lu Changan, there is no risk in exploring this kind of situation, and there is a powerful helper in the form of Fairy Shifu.
The benefits are many.
For one, you can fish in troubled waters and become a scavenger.
Secondly, if you come across He Yuanwu as a hidden danger, you can find an opportunity to get rid of him.
Lastly, he can also save Ye Fei.
"With the prudence of Fellow Daoist Lu, he is even willing to risk his life for Apothecary Ye, it seems that you two have a good friendship?"
As the two of them left Wu Qi Mountain in a flying boat, Fairy Shi spoke out in praise, her pursed lips outlining derision.
The two of them had a clear understanding of their motives for going out to explore the area.
"I have a deeper friendship with Fairy Shifu. If one day, Fairy Shifu is in danger, Mister Lu will also consider it."
Lu Chang'an replied in a serious manner.
"I am honored and touched to have Fellow Daoist Lu consider it for a moment."
Shi Manrong laughed softly, a hint of femininity in her dignity.
The two of them had a close personal relationship, and at certain times, their communication seemed rather casual.
......
The moon is dark and the wind is high, and there is still an hour before dawn.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong approached the scene of the incident.
There is some dust in the sky that has not yet settled.
Fixing their eyes on it, an entire hill was leveled to the ground, with a nearly 100 feet deep pit in the center and a scorched black edge.
The surrounding earth, as if subjected to a powerful aftershock, showed a spider web of cracks.
Due to the destructive force, there were no visible traces of blood.
"Greetings to the Master Fairy."
"Master Lu Fu."
There were a few Qi Refining cultivators nearby who were attracted to the area, or were shocked by the powerful spectacle and did not dare to approach the center area.
Lu Changan and Shi Manrong approached together, taking care of each other and carefully scouting.
"Sure enough......"
Lu Chang'an turned out a palm-sized piece of magic treasure from the soil layer, the surface was dark yellow and lightless, losing its spirituality.
This piece of magic treasure fragment confirmed Lu Changan's guess.
He released the Earth Rock Rat and entered the earth ruins to look for trophies.
Huang Long Zhenren's original magic treasure was made of high grade material, even if it lost its spirituality, it could still be reused in the furnace.
Some of the materials of the magic treasures are universal, which will be useful for Lu Changan to cultivate magic treasures in the future.
Even if they were simply for sale, they would be appealing to a Pillar Bearer.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, look over here."
Shi Manrong cast a spell to lift up a large rock, the back of which was stained with blood, presenting a broken and deformed arm bone.
"The deceased had a robust body shape and hard bones in life, and had notable body refining attainments. Judging from the residual mana scent on the bloodstains, it should be a False Dan Realist." Lu Chang'an came to a preliminary conclusion.
The two of them looked at each other and suspected that the deceased was the traitor "He Yuanwu" from Yellow Dragon Mountain.
The subsequent search confirmed their suspicion.
Near the arm bone, other broken bodies were found, as well as tattered and broken storage bags, and broken axe treasures.
Some of these objects, including the broken axe, could be linked to He Yuanwu's identity.
Unfortunately, the items in the storage bag were basically destroyed, and only a few hard materials were saved.
"It's one less thing to worry about."
Lu Chang'an smiled.
He couldn't help but recall what the Yellow Dragon Realist had said before he left:
"...... If the time is right, perhaps we can even eradicate a hidden danger for Wu Qi Mountain."
Huanglong real person is not sincere to help Wu Qishan solve the trouble.
To kill He Yuanwu, the traitor, should be his dying wish.
In the Huanglong Mountain battle a decade ago, He Yuanwu's stab in the back caused Huanglong Mountain to suffer heavy losses.
After the death of Huanglong, Fu Xuemei was seriously injured and evacuated, He Yuanwu was more aggressive than the foreign enemies and wanted to kill all of them and coveted the inheritance.
"Only He Yuanwu's body alone."
Lu Chang'an's divine sense checked all corners and couldn't help but be a little surprised.
The Yellow Dragon Realist only has one chance to strike, and when he uses it up, he will die.
His body did not survive, perhaps it was taken away by the Fu siblings.
But Lu Changan did not believe that He Yuanwu acted alone.
Other than that, it would be difficult for He Yuanwu to ascertain the traces of the three men from Huang Longshan.
Previously, Zhou Qingxuan had come to Little Turtle Peak, and Lu Changan guessed that the Imperial Beast Zhou Family was likely to have cooperated with He Yuanwu.
The Zhou Family specializes in Imperial Beasts, so it would not be unusual for them to be able to track down Huang Long's trio if they were to master special spirit beasts and exotic insects.
During the beast tide, the Earth Dragon Beast was seriously injured and critically ill, and Huang Long was looking for a strange person to help him, and Zhou Qingxuan was invited to go and heal him.
......
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The sound of breaking air came from other Foundation Establishment Cultivators rushing to the scene.
"Let's go find Fellow Daoist Ye."
Lu Chang'an exchanged words with Shi Manrong and did not linger any longer.
As they were the first to arrive at the Foundation Establishment stage and knew the situation well, they boldly approached and easily "picked up" the most valuable items.
The rest of the broken metal was simply given to the other cultivators.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, look at your expression, looking for Fellow Daoist Ye, you should have an eyebrow."
Shi Manrong smiled lightly and looked towards the cloudy Lu Chang'an.
"He Yuanwu is entrenched in the periphery and has taken Apothecary Ye hostage, he shouldn't be imprisoned too far away."
"Just now, in the storage bag that He Yuanwu burst open, there were the remains of Daoist Ye's items. The Ground Rock Mouse memorized the scent of both......."
Lu Chang'an laughed.
The victims were not far away, and with the medium of tracking in hand, the difficulty was greatly reduced.
Half a day later, from early morning to near evening.
Lu Chang'an and Shi Manrong locked onto a deserted mountain forest 50 or 60 miles away.
A wooden house covered by dense foliage came into their view.
Lu Chang'an and Shi Manrong didn't rush into the cabin.
First, they scanned the area with their divine sense and found only a layer of simple restrictions, perhaps because they have not been maintained for a long time, and their power is not strong.
Lu Chang'an had a feeling and looked up to the sky.
A small black dot, under the cover of clouds, flashed away.
"A second-stage flying bird?"
Lu Chang'an's senses were sharp, and he couldn't help but think about it as he came to the conclusion in a short glance.
Zee!
The rock rat climbed up the tree and pried open the wooden house.
A faint musty odor pours out.
"Fellow Daoist Ye!"
Inside the wooden hut, lay a short-haired youth who was not moving at all.
A few rotting fruits were scattered around him, and a blue centipede crawled by his distinctive cheeks.
If he didn't sense the fluctuation of life, Lu Changan almost thought it was a corpse.
"......"
Seeing Lu Changan and the two of them, Ye Fei's eyes struggled to turn, revealing surprise, as if relieved of a heavy burden. "Fellow Daoist Ye has been placed under a ban, his body is unable to move."
Shi Manrong stepped forward and took a couple of looks.
The restriction on Ye Fei's body was placed by False Dan real person He Yuanwu, the good thing is that the restriction is not complicated, only the intensity exceeds the Foundation Establishment Stage.
As a quasi-third-order formation master, Shi Manrong only needed a little bit of time to break this restriction.
"Tough luck Fairy Shi, I'll go outside and keep an eye out."
Lu Changan walked out of the wooden house.
He asked the Ground Rock Rat to guard the entrance of the wooden house, and he himself went around the neighborhood for a while, looking for suspicious places.
At that moment, Lu Chang'an once again developed a sense and looked up to see a black dot passing through the clouds in the sky.
"It's that second-stage flying bird from before."
Lu Chang'an didn't chase after it.
The speed of a human cultivator can hardly catch up with a flying bird of the same rank.
Hoo!
A feather, falling from the sky.
Lu Chang'an took the feather and there was a sound transmission note tied to it.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, Yellow Dragon and He Yuanwu died together. I was lucky enough to escape, but I am seriously injured and need assistance."
"Please come to the bamboo forest ten miles to the north, I have important information to share."
Update on the 23rd, will be later than the previous two days...
