Lu Tianheng, along with Yu Qi, He Baiyi, Ji Qiang, Ji Xingfeng, found Chen Qiansong and the other three.
Seeing the disheveled state of Chen Qiansong and the other three, Lu Tianheng frowned.
He asked, "What's wrong with you? Are all four of you no match for those two?"
Chen Qiansong quickly replied, "My lord, we chased them into the desert and then encountered Sand Devouring Serpent."
Then, Chen Qiansong recounted the details of the situation.
After hearing this, Lu Tianheng frowned even more deeply. He hadn't expected to waste two Grandmaster like this.
Then, Lu Tianheng looked at He Chu and Liu Changxing, who were missing arms and legs, and gave them a meaningful look.
Lu Tianheng said to Chen Qiansong, "In that case, let's go back! I guess those two have already been devoured by the snake."
Thinking of the terrifying nature of the Sand Devouring Serpent, Lu Tianheng didn't want to provoke them. After all, losing a few more Grandmaster would be a huge loss.
Let's find a place first and deal with Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng.
Then, Lu Tianheng led everyone and flew out of the dense forest.
They had no idea that Liu Yihang and Wang Dali were only about 20 miles away. If they had gone a little further, they could have spotted them and captured them both alive.
After Lu Tianheng led everyone out of the dense forest, they flew towards the nearest small town.
Before long, a small county town came into view of Lu Tianheng and his group.
Lu Tianheng led everyone directly to the airspace above this small county town, Chen Qiansong immediately took the initiative to fly towards the City Lord's Mansion.
Not long after, a member of the Martial Prohibition Hall, dressed in the uniform of Vice Centurion of the Martial Prohibition Hall, ran towards Lu Tianheng and the others.
The Vice Centurion approached and immediately knelt on one knee before Lu Tianheng and the others who were standing in mid-air, cupping his hands and saying, "Greetings, Commander; greetings, esteemed lords."
Lu Tianheng nodded slightly and asked, "How is the situation in You Prefecture now?"
"Reporting to Your Excellency, we have now wiped out the main rebels of the Ji Family in You Prefecture. Ming Chengyun is still leading people to continue to eliminate the remaining forces."
The Ji Family's stronghold is in Sha Prefecture. They sent a large number of people to You Prefecture to deal with the Vast Righteous Sect.
This time, Ming Chengyun directly led his men to besiege the Ji Family members in You Prefecture, while Ji Qiang, Ji Xingfeng, and others escaped from You Prefecture.
As for the Ji Family members remaining in Sha Prefecture, Ming Chengyun dispatched a Minor Grandmaster from Mo Prefecture to lead a team to eliminate them.
After all, all of the Ji Family's Grandmaster and main forces were left in You Prefecture. The members of the Martial Prohibition Hall in Mo Prefecture should be able to easily wipe out the remnants of the Ji Family left in Sha Prefecture.
Lu Tianheng nodded upon hearing the report from the Vice Centurion, but said nothing.
Then, Lu Tianheng said to his remaining five subordinates, "You guys go and rest first! Just leave Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng to me."
Yu Qi and He Baiyi didn't say much, and handed Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng over to Lu Tianheng.
After Lu Tianheng brought Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng over, he carried them with both hands and flew out of the city.
Yu Qi and the others followed the Vice Centurion toward the City Lord's Mansion.
Not long after, Lu Tianheng found a cave in a mountain range.
Lu Tianheng spread his Divine Sense, covering an area of more than 3,000 meters in radius. After investigating and finding no one following them, he carried Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng into the cave.
After entering the cave, Lu Tianheng casually threw Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng to the ground.
Then he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to practice the extraordinary skill he had been cultivating for more than ten years.
Soon, a bloodthirsty aura emanated from Lu Tianheng, and then Lu Tianheng was enveloped in a blood mist.
Lu Tianheng continued to circulate his cultivation technique, and the blood mist on his body grew thicker and thicker. Finally, the blood mist Illusory Transformation into a vortex, with the center of the vortex resembling a gaping maw.
Lu Tianheng did not stop circulating his cultivation technique, and the gaping maw became increasingly solid before spreading towards Ji Xingfeng.
In the blink of an eye, Ji Xingfeng swallowed whole by that gaping maw. He didn't even have time to resist before he vanished.
Ji Qiang was stunned by what he saw. He hadn't expected that Lu Tianheng would cultivate evil arts, especially by devouring martial artists.
Unfortunately, he could only watch helplessly, unable to do anything, because he was completely paralyzed and unable to speak.
About an hour later, Lu Tianheng stopped practicing his technique.
Moreover, his aura seemed to have become stronger, but Ji Xingfeng had nothing left except the clothes on the ground.
Lu Tianheng seemed quite satisfied with this training session, and he didn't rush to devour Ji Qiang.
Because he still needs to digest the Ji Xingfeng he has swallowed.
Then he needs to consolidate his inflated strength before he can devour Ji Qiang.
It wasn't until an hour later that Lu Tianheng decided to devour Ji Qiang.
After an hour of meditation and internal energy cultivation, he felt that his increased strength had been completely stabilized.
Just as Lu Tianheng was about to devour Ji Qiang, he was unaware that a figure was observing him from afar.
The figure that appeared here was Jiang Zongquan. He had originally gone to Sha Prefecture to secretly monitor the actions taken by the Martial Prohibition Hall against the Ji Family.
In the end, they discovered that the Ji Family members there were just juniors or servants with low martial arts skills.
When he finally arrived in You Prefecture, he found that the Martial Prohibition Hall had already wiped out the main members of the Ji Family.
However, the Ji Family patriarch and Ji Qiang both managed to escape.
This was unacceptable, so he chased after them, preparing to enter the dense forest.
However, they ran into Lu Tianheng and his group, who brought out Ji Qiang and Ji Xingfeng. Only then did Jiang Zongquan feel relieved.
He thought to himself, "Now, it's certain that the Ji Family will be completely wiped out."
He was about to leave when he saw Lu Tianheng carrying Ji Xingfeng and Ji Qiang away alone, which left him completely bewildered.
I don't understand what Lu Tianheng is up to. Why would he bring these two people into the mountains alone?
He then quietly followed Lu Tianheng, wanting to know what he was up to.
Moreover, he dared not get too close for fear of being discovered by Lu Tianheng.
Therefore, when Lu Tianheng used his Divine Sense to investigate, he did not discover that anyone was following him.
Then, he saw Lu Tianheng devour Ji Xingfeng, and he also saw the blood mist erupting from Lu Tianheng's body.
Immediately, he knew that Lu Tianheng must have practiced an evil technique, and it was an evil technique that allowed him to advance by devouring martial artists.
He didn't know how many more martial artists Lu Tianheng would need to devour before advancing to the next level, but if he succeeded, the entire Great Qian Imperial Family would definitely be in grave danger.
Judging from Lu Tianheng's consistent attitude towards the royal family, it's clear that Lu Tianheng's ambitions are considerable.
Therefore, after discovering this, Jiang Zongquan took advantage of Lu Tianheng's continued devouring of Ji Qiang and his inability to attend to other matters, and quickly retreated and left the place.
