Lu Feng looked into the mountain cave and saw that the woman Ning Xiang had mentioned was actually Hua Li'er. He could not help but be stunned for a moment, then vaguely understood.
Seeing Hua Li'er still pale and unconscious after Ning Xiang had simply bandaged her wounds, Lu Feng grasped the purpose behind her sending the soul jade.
So she had risked herself, deliberately sought out the Limitless Sect party, intending to confirm their crime of persecuting Fellow Disciples and planning to use the soul jade to summon him as a witness...
Yet she had miscalculated the distance between them and failed to wait for his arrival in time.
Judging by the gap between the time Hua Li'er sent word and the time she met with disaster, she had evidently hidden herself for quite a long while after discovering the Limitless Sect party.
Only after waiting in vain, or waiting until all hope had drained away, had she rashly revealed herself and sought out the Limitless Sect, leading to the scene Ning Xiang described, where she had been surrounded and beaten into grave injury.
Of course, it was also possible that Hua Li'er had been discovered by the Limitless Sect party while hiding, and fighting had broken out afterward.
But no matter what, it was fortunate that she had encountered Man Zhongli and the other two in time. Otherwise, Hua Li'er would likely have suffered the same fate as her Fellow Disciples by now.
