One Sword

Lan Haitan stood on the rooftop of a tall building, watching the Sunglasses Woman and Tuoba Wanyi walking down the street below, and couldn't help but reveal a strange smile.

"Is it just the two of them?"

He turned to ask a middle-aged man beside him who was bound by the Primordial Magnetic Force and slumped on the cement.

"Yes, yes, she's the one who contacted me."

The middle-aged man was the person in charge of the Ascension Cult in Vermilion Cloud City. Following the instructions of the Sunglasses Woman, he found the location of the target.

But little did he know that he would be kidnapped by Lan Haitan that very night.

He was in charge of intelligence, not practical combat. As soon as he saw Lan Haitan and remembered the latter's fearsome reputation, he was so frightened that he confessed everything.

"Hmm, it was her."

Lan Haitan glanced at the Sunglasses Woman slowly walking towards the apartment building on the street in the early morning and couldn't help but marvel.

"Captain Lan, is it too late for me to abandon the darkness and embrace the light?"

The middle-aged man, who was pressed to the ground by the Primordial Magnetic Force on the rooftop, secretly asked a question.

"Don't worry, I'm very merciful. I'll basically spare my opponent's life as long as they don't resist."

Lan Haitan smiled and spoke, but the middle-aged man was so frightened that he trembled all over, cold sweat pouring out and soaking his clothes.

"Captain Lan, spare me..."

With a loud bang! Lan Haitan, annoyed by his noise, knocked him unconscious.

"Hmm?"

Downstairs at the apartment building, the Sunglasses Woman seemed to hear something and looked up at the sky.

"What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just suddenly feel a little depressed."

The Sunglasses Woman clutched her chest and followed Tuoba Wanyi into the elevator.

A moment later, Qing Nü's scream and Kong Feichen's angry shout rang out.

However, under the suppression of the two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, no matter how talented they were, they had no way to break free.

"Yes, it's confirmed to be Dark Spiritual Root."

The Sunglasses Woman held Yang Jing down, took a drop of blood from her fingertip for a test, and then nodded in satisfaction.

"What should we do with those two? Kill them?"

Tuoba Wanyi shot out snow-white spider silk from his five fingers, binding Qing Nü and Kong Feichen into two white cocoons, which hung upside down on the roof.

"We're not those crazy people from the Demon Gate; we don't need to sever newcomers' worldly ties."

The Sunglasses Woman shook her head, got up, and walked towards the door.

Yang Jing struggled incessantly, but it was as if she was being carried by an invisible, transparent person. The Sunglasses Woman stretched out a finger and gently stroked her snow-white, slender neck. Yang Jing immediately lost her focus and fainted.

"Let's go, set up your spider silk, and bind them for three days."

Three days is enough time for them to take Yang Jing away from the Immortal Sect's territory.

"Troublesome work."

Tuoba Wanyi clicked his tongue.

But with a flick of his hand, two more clumps of spider silk shot out, enveloping Qing Nü and Kong Feichen, whose heads were still showing, into white cocoons.

Aren't you going to make a move?

A slightly magnetic female voice echoed in the void beside Lan Haitan, as if an invisible person was standing there.

"I was originally planning to make a move, but my Dao heart was warning me."

"Oh, are there cultists at the Core Formation hiding in the shadows?"

"Whether it's true or not, we'll find out by testing the waters."

Lan Haitan saw the Sunglasses Woman and Tuoba Wanyi leading Yang Jing out of the lobby on the first floor, and a mysterious smile appeared on his lips.

"Same as always, I'll deal with the weak one, and you take care of the strong one."

"No, you mustn't make a move this time."

Lan Haitan said something to her companion hidden in the shadows that left her completely bewildered.

"What's the meaning?"

"I just think that the two people from the Ascension Cult chose an extremely good target."

Lan Haitan smiled and took off a button from his sleeve, then jumped off the rooftop.

After dropping more than thirty meters in an instant, he stopped in mid-air outside Qing Nü's apartment window and gently flicked the button in his hand.

The spider silk, which was originally enough to seal Qing Nü and Kong Feichen for three days, dimmed its spiritual light in an instant.

What is the point of doing this?

A slightly magnetic female voice rang out again. Lan Haitan smiled and said something that made her even more confused.

"It allows someone who doesn't want to take action to do it."

Beep beep beep! Late at night, Chen Mobai was cultivating the Pure Yang Dharma Body and the Azure Sun Fire Seed, wondering if he could use the Pure Yang Scroll's spells to control the Azure Sun Fire, when he suddenly heard his cell phone ring.

"So late? Is this a spam call?"

Just as he was about to hang up, he saw the caller's name.

Qing Nü!

What's wrong? He answered immediately.

"What?! Yang Jing has been captured by two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator!"

After listening, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but hearing Qing Nü's crying voice, he still couldn't stay out of it.

"Wait for me at home, I'll be right there!"

After saying that, he picked up his storage bag and jumped out of his room window.

The Immortal Sect has a rule that cultivators are prohibited from flying over the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens and Seventy-Two Blessed Lands.

However, moving around high up on the rooftop is no problem.

As Chen Mobai sped toward Qing Nü's apartment, he also called Lan Haitan.

"Hello!"

"Two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator abducted one of my friends. I suspect it was the Ascension Cult that did it."

"Oh, this is a big deal, but I'm currently chasing down the two companions of that Golden Stone Nunnery successor from earlier today, and I can't leave them behind."

"Aren't you supposed to be very strong? How come these two have been fighting for so long?"

Chen Mobai's tone was tinged with suspicion. Recalling Qing Nü's words that the two had abducted Yang Jing, a sudden thought flashed through his mind.

"You bastard, you weren't just standing there watching this happen, were you?!"

"Don't talk nonsense. I've been working very hard to hunt down cultists. But no matter how good I am, I'm only one person. I killed one, but the other got away. I'm not good at tracking, so it's been delayed until now."

Lan Haitan denied it outright, and Chen Mobai, having no evidence, couldn't accuse him further, especially since he needed this guy's help.

"How about you help me out first?"

"This won't do. The Ascension Cult members are all fanatics. I'm afraid the other person who escaped might harm the masses. Let's keep looking and eliminate evil completely."

"It's also possible that cultists were behind it. We've got some connections, aren't you going to help me out?"

Chen Mobai could only play the emotional card. Although he had already reached the realm of Sword Rainbow Light Splitting and had the Azure Sun Fire Seed in hand, Meng Hong said that he could fight against anyone who was not in the late Foundation Establishment. However, the two Foundation Establishment cultivators who abducted Yang Jing were actually Foundation Establishment True Cultivator.

What if they are two cult members at or above the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer?

To ensure safety, it's best to bring along this well-known company, Lan Haitan.

"Then, about joining the Sky Mending Group..."

On the other end of the phone, Lan Haitan's tactful terms for the exchange came through. Chen Mobai twitched, and his words were once again strained.

"There's always an interview process for joining a company. I haven't even seen how powerful the Sky Mending Group is yet. You have to give me a chance to broaden my horizons."

Lan Haitan hung up the phone, speechless.

"Is this kid worth all this trouble?"

A magnetic female voice rang out again, her words revealing her bewilderment.

"After I retire, the higher-ups will probably let you take over as the head of Sixth Group. He is the deputy head I found for you."

"Oh, is he as good as me?"

"In terms of killing, he is probably not as good as you, but in terms of talent in Spell Duel, he is almost catching up with me."

Lan Haitan's words silenced the unseen women.

"I don't believe it!"

After a long while, these words echoed from the void.

"He's here."

Lan Haitan watched as Chen Mobai leaped down from the rooftops of several tall buildings. A dark Shadows covered his entire body, erasing all traces of his existence from the rooftop.

Chen Mobai rushed into Qing Nü's room and saw the two of them still wrapped in the White Cocoon of spider silk, except that Qing Nü had broken free of half of her head.

Amidst the cries of swords!

Two crimson sword energies slashed into the cocoon.

Then, Qing Nü and Kong Feichen used all their spiritual power but could not break a single strand of the Snow White Spider Silk. It was as if it had been dyed, tinged with a reddish glow.

In an instant, it shattered into pieces! Chen Mobai caught Qing Nü, who fell out of the cracked cocoon, while Kong Feichen crashed heavily onto the floor.

"Do you have a way to track down Yang Jing?"

"Her phone must have location services enabled. I'll try it."

Qing Nü turned pale and took out her phone, only to find that Yang Jing's phone was left at the door.

"What about the Qi Chain Spell and the Blood Curse?"

Chen Mobai then thought of the spells used by the Immortal Sect to find people, the blood of relatives, and the objects used by the missing person, all of which could be used for tracking.

"The Blood Curse cannot be used; we are not related by blood."

Kong Feichen spoke up, taking out a plush doll from the sofa.

"This is her favorite; you can try ' Qi Chain Spell '."

Chen Mobai nodded, then opened the Immortal Sect Spell Library and downloaded the tracking technique on the spot.

"At this rate, by the time you master the spell, the enemy will probably be long gone."

Lan Haitan's voice rang out from outside the window, startling Kong Feichen and Qing Nü. The former even couldn't help but unleash Wind Blade technique, but it was easily crushed by Chen Mobai.

"It's a friend I asked to help."

"I had the Sky Mending Group check the Heavenly Eye in this area and found footage of them leaving."

"Take me!"

Kong Feichen immediately rushed to the window in front of Lan Haitan, his eyes wide as he pleaded.

"You two are too weak."

Lan Haitan shook his head, then pointed at Chen Mobai.

"There are two enemies, and we also have two, that's enough."

At this point, Chen Mobai was already in a difficult situation.

"Let's go."

He went to the window, ready to leave with Lan Haitan.

"Please, you must bring her back."

Kong Feichen solemnly prayed to the two of them.

Chen Mobai looked at Qing Nü, whose eyes were filled with hope and worry. She wanted her sister to return safely, but she was also afraid that Chen Mobai would be in danger. In the end, she expressed it in a single sentence.

"You must all come back safely."

"Take good care of her, we'll be right back."

After giving instructions to Kong Feichen, Chen Mobai and Lan Haitan disappeared through the window.

"Isn't it that it can't fly?"

Carried by Lan Haitan's Primordial Magnetic Force, the two flew through the air, speeding towards a certain place in the suburbs.

"We are the Sky Mending Group. In special circumstances, we can disregard some of the rules of the Immortal Sect and just submit a report afterwards."

Lan Haitan said indifferently.

"Tell me the truth, the opponents should be those two Ascension Cult who came to Vermilion Cloud City with the bald guy."

Chen Mobai asked.

"I don't know about that, but I can assure you that I really caught a member of the Ascension Cult today."

That intelligence agent, though a bit weak, was still a genuine cult member.

Lan Haitan's words were impeccable.

"Thank you for helping me."

Seeing that he couldn't get any information out of Chen Mobai, he could only express his gratitude.

"Then about joining the Sky Mending Group..."

"Let's talk about it after we bring Yang Jing back. I'll consider it."

Chen Mobai continued to pull, and Lan Haitan didn't push too hard. In any case, as long as they started to consider it, there was a possibility of success.

"I need to speed up."

Determined to demonstrate his strength, he unleashed his full Primordial Magnetic Force. Chen Mobai felt as if the tall buildings and streets below were fleeting shadows, turning into afterimages.

In just three minutes, Lan Haitan and two others had already left Vermilion Cloud City.

Then came the lightning speed, as if the earth was propelling them forward, and just half an hour later, two figures could be seen flying in the sky.

"I will rescue the hostages first. You will be responsible for providing backup and protection. They will definitely scatter and run away when they see me. You don't need to chase them. Just protect yourself and the hostages."

Lan Haitan briefly explained the tactics, and then Chen Mobai felt the vast earth awaken, as if the entire earth was trembling along with the breathing of the leader of the Sixth Group of the Mending Heaven Team beside him.

"Who goes there!"

The two people in mid-air looked back, and then the Sunglasses Woman felt that part of her Spiritual Sense had been severed. Then, Yang Jing, who was originally under her control, suddenly lost control.

As if teleported, Chen Mobai saw Yang Jing had suddenly disappeared from the Sunglasses Woman opposite him, suddenly fall from mid-air in front of him and quickly stretched out his arms to catch her.

"What kind of magic is this? Is it the Empty Hand' technique?"

Lan Haitan, who was about to demonstrate his strength Number One Foundation Establishment Cultivator, almost lost his breath upon hearing Chen Mobai's words.

He sensed the anger of his deputy team leader.

They actually used the term "thief" to describe her signature skill.

"Oh no, it's Lan Haitan! What's he doing here?"

Across from her, the Sunglasses Woman, who had been furious, turned around and saw the only Number One Foundation Establishment Cultivator from the Immortal Sect. Her face paled instantly.

"You have the mark of the Divine Imperial Pavilion Master, how far can you fight against Lan Haitan?"

Suddenly Tuoba Wanyi, who was standing next to him, asked a question.

"Although I'm not confident I can defeat him, I'm more than capable of escaping."

The Sunglasses Woman was originally a master at the Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer. After receiving the Transmission Department from the Divine Imperial Pavilion Master, she was able to refine the secret techniques of her lineage to the level of Core Formation.

She was confident she could defeat any other Foundation Establishment opponent, even the Fairy Qiongzhi from the Natural Academy.

But Lan Haitan is the only one! He is a Spell Duel genius who has mastered one of the Six Imperial Scripture and condensed the Golden Core Domain even before Core Formation.

However, although she might still be unable to defeat them, she felt that she could hold them off.

"I'm going to kill that kid, snatch the target back, and escape. You have to do everything in your power to hold off Lan Haitan before I disappear."

After saying this, Tuoba Wanyi waved his hands, which transformed into wings, and he became a streak of black Flowing Light, rushing towards Chen Mobai, who was holding Yang Jing.

"Fine, even if it means my death, I will hold Lan Haitan back!"

After formulating the battle plan, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of terrifying eyes with only the whites and no pupils.

"Heaven's will is on my side!"

She unleashed the supreme skill of her lineage, and in an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky, accompanied by a violent storm. Centered on her, she seemed to be the master of all things, the embodiment of the will of heaven and earth!

"Oh, you think you can stop me?"

Lan Haitan was originally a hundred meters away, but in the blink of an eye, he found himself pulled into the Heavenly Visions.

"You have become Heart Demon of many in our Ascension Cult. If I can drag you into the abyss with my life today, I will die a worthy death!"

After saying this, the silver fire mark between the brows of the woman, whose eyes were only white, began to burn fiercely, and her aura rose rapidly in an instant.

Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer Completed, Foundation Establishment Eighth Layer, Foundation Establishment Ninth Layer, Foundation Establishment Completed...

Then, even a sliver of dazzling Golden Core light emanated from her dantian, and the already frenzied phenomena of heaven and earth exploded several times over in an instant, surging towards the Lan Haitan like an apocalyptic catastrophe.

"This is a bit troublesome. We might not be able to take her down without going all out."

Lan Haitan frowned slightly upon seeing his opponent's condition.

Once I go all out, I can no longer delay the Core Formation; I might have to retire from the Sky Mending Group early.

"Does he need my help?"

As the deputy team leader's voice rang in his ears, Lan Haitan glanced at Tuoba Wanyi in the distance, whose hands had transformed into wings and whose feet into giant paws, and sighed slightly.

"You stay here and protect him. Only intervene when he can't hold on any longer. I might not be able to look after you two."

Lan Haitan originally thought he came to Vermilion Cloud City for a vacation, but he never expected that it would become the opportunity for him to Core Formation core.

"If I take action, your previous lies will be exposed."

"There's nothing we can do about it. We can't just watch him get killed by cultists."

Lan Haitan sighed, his mind no longer filled with confusion.

He closed his eyes, then opened them.

Amidst the thunderous roar, his gaze pierced and tore apart everything in the world.

The Kunpeng Daoist Academy's most powerful technique, the Six Imperial Scripture, which dominates the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, is about to be unleashed.

At that very moment, a dazzling, deep purple Sword Light shot into the sky not far away, like a divine sword reaching to the heavens, silently tearing open the firmament and the Universe.

The wind, rain, thunder, ice, frost, and cold currents were all dispelled and partially melted by this deep purple Sword Light.

The three of them turned to look at the same time, and saw Chen Mobai holding the awakened Yang Jing in his left arm, and inserting a Wooden Hairpin back into the top of his head with his right hand.

Before him, a purple flame sword Sword Light was burning from Tuoba Wanyi's brow to his chest, burning him from the middle until he was split into two torches, which fell from the sky in disbelief.

However, before it even landed, it was burned to ashes by the Purple Flame and scattered by the gale.

Do you need my help?

Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, feeling that it wasn't a good idea to just coast along, and asked Lan Haitan, who seemed to be about to engage in an epic battle not far away.

This chapter is a bit longer than usual, so it was written a little late.

It's a new month, please give me some monthly votes, please!
