The next day.
Just like the 996 work schedule, the sun still rises.
And one after another, horse-drawn carriages adorned with flowers are slowly making their way down the valley!
On a high mountain, Ye Qiubai also noticed the commotion and suddenly opened his eyes.
"Are they here...?"
Inside the carriage.
A woman with a red cloth draped over her head opened her eyes.
The jade pendant on her chest began to tremble slightly!
" Qiubai?"
At that moment, a man's voice came from outside.
"Don't be too pessimistic. The Vast Sea Sect is a top-tier power in the entire Vast Sea Star Domain."
"Among them, the one who specifically asked for you is none other than Su Mingshui, the current Vast Sea Sect."
"His talent is exceptionally extraordinary, and his power is immense. Following him wouldn't be a bad thing."
Mu Ziqing thought for a moment and then said, "So what?"
"How?"
The man chuckled and said, "Following Young Master Su, you won't have to worry about resources for your future cultivation! As long as you keep him happy, no one in the entire Vast Sea Star Domain will dare to provoke you."
Mu Ziqing sneered, "There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. This world has never lacked geniuses."
At this moment, the man wanted to speak again.
Suddenly, an old man pulled up the carriage curtain.
"You usually don't say a word, so why are you talking so much now?"
Seeing the old man's suspicious expression, Mu Ziqing felt a slight tremor in her heart.
What amazing insight!
"I just feel that what he said was somewhat biased."
The old man sneered, "You'd better not have any ulterior motives. With me here, don't expect anyone to come to your rescue."
This old man is an inner sect elder of the Vast Sea Sect, whose strength has reached the Half-Step Blood Transformation Realm!
Also to prevent any accidents, Shen Luo sent people down to escort them.
Mu Ziqing didn't dare to say anything more.
After all, the other party had already begun to suspect something, and saying anything more would only be superfluous.
The carriage continued its journey into the valley.
It was very quiet around us, eerily quiet.
The atmosphere was extremely heavy.
All those escorting the carriage activated their auras to the fullest extent, scanning their surroundings.
After all, Mu Ziqing was someone Shen Luo specifically requested.
If anything goes wrong.
Given Shen Luo's cruel nature, they probably won't have a good life!
After entering the valley.
The old man suddenly said, "Be careful of your surroundings. This valley is the easiest place to ambush someone."
But.
Just after he finished speaking.
Instantly, terrifying Sword Intent shot into the sky from around the carriage!
The old man's expression changed drastically, and the aura of Half-Step Blood Transformation cultivator erupted instantly!
"Enemy attack!"
Everyone instantly unleashed their power!
But.
After they sensed the pervasive Sword Intent around them.
But his expression was one of horror!
The Sword Intent that permeated the surroundings stretched in all directions!
Even the old man who Half-Step Blood Transformation was filled with trepidation!
Who exactly is it?
How could someone unleash such powerful Sword Intent?
Or rather, in this Vast Sea Star Domain, who dares to oppose the Vast Sea Sect?
At this moment.
The Sword Intent surged violently within the space!
It pierced through the space of this realm! And slashed towards everyone present!
Instantly!
Some people at the Spirit Division Realm had their souls shattered!
Even the Dao Integration Realm expert was instantly and severely injured!
Only the old man was able to barely hold on!
However, we are already stretched thin!
At this time...
A dark shadow flashed by.
He rushed straight into the carriage!
Upon seeing this, the old man immediately roared, "You scoundrel, stop! Do you want to start a war with our Vast Sea Sect?!"
But before he could finish speaking, another wave of Sword Intent was already slashing towards him!
He was completely unable to move an inch!
Even just defending himself was exhausting him!
He was even injured!
At this time...
The shadowy figure had already carried Mu Ziqing away from the carriage and fled eastward!
It lasted for the full time it takes for an incense stick to burn.
The Sword Intent then ceased its attack.
The old man looked around at the tragic scene.
Now, only two people at the Dao Integration Realm remain, and they are both seriously injured, clearly incapable of pursuing the enemy.
Seeing this, the old man gritted his teeth, roared, and sped off to the east!
He ignored his injuries.
After all, what if this escort mission fails?
What awaits him will be more than just these injuries...
Ye Qiubai, who had already fled a thousand miles away, was carrying Mu Ziqing in his arms as he deliberately left traces along the roadside as he escaped.
Looking at that familiar face, Mu Ziqing couldn't help but smile and say, " Qiubai, I knew you would come."
Ye Qiubai smiled in response and said, "I can lose anything but my wife, can I?"
Hearing Ye Qiubai's seemingly flippant words.
Mu Ziqing's pretty face flushed red.
He turned his head away and muttered, "Never serious..."
So that's what you call her wife?
She hasn't agreed to his proposal yet!
"Alright, judging by the time, they should be catching up by now."
We'll catch up later.
After speaking, Ye Qiubai glanced behind him.
There, an extremely powerful aura is rapidly approaching!
After all, he was Half-Step Blood Transformation Realm expert.
Even if you get injured.
It was also beyond Ye Qiubai's speed to match.
but...
This is also what Ye Qiubai hoped for.
Only by catching up can they give the other party the illusion that they are fleeing in this direction.
This way, they can buy themselves and Ziqing more time to escape to Vast Sea City.
At this moment.
A loud shout came from behind, "You think you can escape our pursuit with just a scroll?"
"They dare to rob people from the Vast Sea Sect? They're incredibly audacious!"
Upon hearing this, Mu Ziqing asked worriedly, " Qiubai, what should we do?"
The disparity in strength between the two sides is so vast.
Mu Ziqing was naturally worried.
Ye Qiubai smiled and said, "Don't worry, there's a way."
After saying that, he slashed his sword backward!
This sword strike suppressed his own Sword Intent.
Only the Sword Intent of Sword Saint.
Immediately, he grabbed two Heavenly Lightning Escape Talisman, transformed them into a bolt of lightning, and fled from the spot!
The old man shattered the Sword Intent with a single palm strike.
Then, looking ahead, there was no trace of life left.
Only faint traces of Sword Intent could be seen along the roadside.
"There's no spatial fluctuation... Is there a magical Spirit Artifact concealing its presence?"
"Hmph, Sword Saint? With that kind of strength, you dare to provoke my Vast Sea Sect?"
After the search yielded no results.
The old man, his face grim, transmitted his voice. " The Lü Lineage's tribute has been stolen. The thief is a Sword Saint. Immediately dispatch Spirit Division Realm and ten Dao Integration Realm to search for them!"
At this point, Ye Qiubai's goal had been completely achieved.
Leave a trace to show the enemy weakness.
The search party they send out won't be very strong either.
This should buy them a considerable amount of time.
And this news.
The news spread very quickly.
The Vast Sea Sect is furious!
The Lü Lineage was horrified!
At the same time.
The Vast Sea Sect then issued a blood order to hunt them down!
Anyone who can find this sword cultivator or Mu Ziqing can directly enter the Vast Sea Sect and become inner disciple or a retainer!
The news was released immediately.
Everyone in the Vast Sea Star Domain was shocked!
Generous compensation is one thing.
What they found even more unbelievable was...
Someone actually dares to plot against the Vast Sea Sect?
You must know, the Vast Sea Sect is the absolute overlord of the Vast Sea Star Domain!
