Chapter 274: Chapter 246: One Sword_l
Lan Haitian stood on the rooftop of a high-rise building, looking down at the murky sunglasses woman and Tuoba Wanyi walking along the streets below, an inexplicable smile playing on his face.
âAre those two the ones?â he asked.
He turned and posed the question to a middle-aged man who was bound by
Yuan Magnetic Force and collapsed on the roofs concrete.
âYes, yes, yes, she was the one who contacted me.
The middle-aged man was the leader of Ascension Sect in Red Sandstone City.
He had located the target as requested by the woman in sunglasses.
However, he had no idea that he would be captured by Lan Haitian that very night.
His job was gathering intelligence, not combat. Just thinking about Lan Haitianâs fearsome reputation terrified him enough to confess everything.
âHmm, I didnât expect it to be her.â
Lan Haitian looked down at the woman wearing dark sunglasses who was slowly walking towards the apartment building in the early morning, and could not help but express his amazement.
âGroup Leader Lan, is it too late for me to abandon the dark and embrace the light?â
The middle-aged man, pinned to the rooftop by the Yuan Magnetic Force, cautiously posed the question.
âDonât worry, Iâm very merciful. Basically, as long as you donât resist, Iâll spare my opponentsâ lives,â said Lan Haitian with a smile. Yet this only frightened the middle-aged man more, as he trembled with sweat soaking his clothes.
âGroup Leader Lan, please spare me!â
Bang!
Finding the man too annoying, Lan Haitian knocked him out.
âHmm?â
Downstairs, the woman in sunglasses seemed to hear something and looked up
at the sky.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing, just suddenly feeling a little oppressed.â
She clutched her chest, following Tuoba Wanyi into the elevator.
Soon after, Qing Nuâs screams and Kong Feichenâs furious shouts could be heard.
But under the suppression of two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators, even if they were geniuses, they had no chance of breaking free.
âGood, itâs confirmed itâs a Dark Spirit Root.
The woman in sunglasses held Yang Jing down, drew a drop of blood from her fingertip for testing, and gave a satisfied nod.
âWhat about these two? Shall we kill them?
Tuoba Wanyiâs right hand shot out white spider-silk, bundling Qing Nu and Kong Feichen into two white cocoons, hanging upside down from the ceiling. -We arenât the crazy ones from the Heretical Cult. We donât need to cut off new disciplesâ worldly ties.â
Shaking her head, the woman in sunglasses made her way to the door.
Despite Yang Jingâs struggles, it was as if she had been picked up by an invisible person. The woman in sunglasses reached out a finger and touched Yang Jing s slender, white throat, causing her to fall unconscious.
âLetâs go. Set up your spider silk to bind them for three days.â
Three days would be enough time for them to escape the territory of the sect with Yang Jing in tow.
âThis is a nuisance.â
Tuoba Wanyi clicked his tongue.
Even so, he flicked his palm and two balls of spider silk shot out, cocooning
Qing Nu and Kong Feichen, whose heads were previously visible.
âArenât you going to make a move?â
A slightly magnetic female voice sounded next to Lan Haitian â as if an invisible figure was standing there.
âI was originally planning to, but my Dao-heart is giving me a warning.â âOh, is there a Core Formation Cultist from the Heretical Sect lurking in the shadows?â
âWhether there is or not, a little probing will reveal the truth.â
Lan Haitian watched the woman in sunglasses and Tuoba Wanyi leaving the lobby on the first floor with Yang Jing in tow. A mysterious smile graced his features.
-The same old rules. Iâll handle the weaker one, and you take care of the
stronger one.â
âNo, donât make a move this time.â
Lan Haitian said something that bewildered the hidden figure.
âWhat do you mean?â
â â I just feel that the duo from the Ascension Sect picked an excellent target,â Lan Haitian replied, taking off a button from his sleeve as he smiled.
He jumped down from the rooftop, abruptly dropping over thirty meters. He hovered outside the window of Qing Nuâs apartment, flinging the button. The spider silk that was originally supposed to bind Qing Nu and Kong Feichen for three days suddenly dimmed.
â â Whatâs the purpose of doing this?â asked the female voice.
Lan Haitian laughed and replied with a phrase that confused her further,
âIt can make someone who doesnât want to act, act.
Beep,beep,beep!
In the dead of night, Chen Mobai was cultivating his Pure Yang Daoist body and Qingyang Fire Seed, contemplating whether he could utilize Pure Yang Scrollâs spells to control Qingyang Fire. Suddenly, he heard the ring of his phone.
âWho could it be at this late hour? A prank call?â
just as he was about to hang up, he noticed the name of the caller.
Qing Nu!
Whatâs wrong?
He picked up immediately.
âWhat, Yang Jing was taken by two Foundation Establishment True Cultivators?â
After listening, Chen Mobai hesitated for a moment, but hearing Qing Nuâs tearful voice, he could no longer remain detached.
âStay at home and wait for me, Iâm on my way!â
Having said that, he grabbed his storage bag and jumped out of his roomâs window.
The Sect had rules prohibiting cultivators from flying over the 36 Cave-Heavens and 72 Blessed Lands.
However, moving along rooftops was not prohibited.
As Chen Mobai rushed towards Qing Nuâs apartment, he called Lan Haitian.
âHello!â
âTwo Foundation Establishment True Cultivators have taken one of my friends. I suspect itâs the doing of people from Ascension Sect.
â â Oh, thatâs a major incident, but Iâm currently chasing after the two companions of that Gold Stone Nunnery disciple from this afternoon. 1 canât leave..â
