"Young Master, this is the situation. Zhuang Yan must be going out of the sect to hide. I've already arranged for people to intercept them. I hope they can make it in time.”Lu Mo returned to the Emerald Cloud Court and reported the situation to Lu Huang respectfully.
Lu Huang had calmed down, but his expression was still a little gloomy.
After hearing the news Lu Mo brought back, he pondered for a while and said,""Take my token and go to the Hall of Taoist Traces to obtain Zhuang Yan's mission information. Then, arrange for someone to ambush him at the mission point. You must capture him and send him back to the clan.”
He took out the token and handed it to Lu Mo.
"Yes, sir!" Lu Mo knew that his young master was working in the Hall of Taoist Traces. It was a small matter to get the mission information of the inner disciples. He didn't even need to personally come out. He just had to ask the servant to bring the token.
Lu Mo took the token and was about to leave when he was stopped by Lu Huang."
"Wait, after you get the information, go directly to the inner sect to take charge of this matter. I will be in seclusion for a period of time. Do you understand?"
Lu Mo didn't dare to retort. He felt that his young master had been acting strange ever since he came back. However, he didn't dare to ask any more questions and lowered his head to reply,""Understood! This subordinate will not disappoint you."
。。。
When Lu Mo obtained Zhuang Yan's mission information from the Hall of Dao Traces, he realized that this matter was not easy to handle. Zhuang Yan's mission did not have a fixed location. He could only determine where Zhuang Yan had gone by looking at where Ghost Hand was. There was no way to ambush him in advance.
"The most important thing now is to bite Zhuang Yan in the sect and follow him out of the sect. When we reach a secluded place, the most effective way is to directly capture him.”
With that in mind, Lu Mo immediately led the rest of the people to the Floating Immortal Bridge after arriving at the Inner Gate.
However, when he arrived at the ferry, he saw two people from the Lu family welcoming him. There was no trace of Zhuang Yan at all.
"How is it? Where is he?" He asked impatiently.
The two of them looked at each other and laughed. Then, one of them stood up and replied,"Manager, we were a step too late. Zhuang Yan had already left the sect fifteen minutes ago. We asked the disciple on duty at the ferry, and he took the east exit.”
"East exit? That was in the direction of the Ming Kingdom. In that case, Zhuang Yan was going straight to the Ming Kingdom. That Ghost Hand was wanted in the Ming Kingdom, so the information there should be the most complete. Therefore, his goal should be the Ming Kingdom.”
Thinking of this, Lu Mo didn't waste any more time. He led everyone onto the Floating Immortal Bridge at the east exit and chased after them.
On the other side.
Zhuang Yan had indeed left Xian Tian Sect through the east gate. However, after he left, he did not foolishly go to Ming Country. Instead, he went south and headed towards the Spirit Domain's hinterland.
Xian Tian Sect was located near the border between Muzhou's Cang Heng Region and the Spirit Region. Their influence radiated across the two regions, so to the south was the hinterland of the Spirit Region, while to the north, they would cross the Dual World Mountain and enter the Cang Heng Region.
When the Lu family chased after him, they had already lost track of Zhuang Yan.
At the exit of the sect, Lu Mo's expression was uncertain. He was considering whether he should go straight to the Ming Kingdom as he had thought before.
While he was out of the sect, he thought about how Zhuang Yan had suddenly accepted a mission in less than two hours and left the sect. It was obvious that he had discovered something.
If they were to foolishly chase in the direction of Ming Country, Zhuang Yan would have guessed that they would be caught.
After thinking about it carefully, he felt that Zhuang Yan coming out from the east gate was probably a smokescreen to lure them to Ming Country.
However, Lu Mo wasn't sure if that was the case. He was afraid that Zhuang Yan had really gone to the Ming Kingdom, and they would think that they were smart enough to chase after him in another direction. That would be very funny.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a headache."I'm still a step too slow."
Helplessly, he turned his head and said to the people behind him,"" Lu Chen, Lu Zhong, you two are aperture opening state like me. We don't know where Zhuang Yan went, so we need you two to lead teams to search in the north and south. I will head to Dongfang Mingguo. As long as we find Zhuang Yan, we will capture him alive.”
"He just joined the sect two months ago. According to the news, his skin is as fair as a woman. He probably hasn't spent any effort on tempering his body and hasn't entered the Pulse Forging Realm.”
He was a seven-grade official in front of the prime minister's door.
Although Lu Mo was only a son of Lu Huang's family and had been a servant in the Lu family for generations, his status in the Lu family was not low because of his master.
Some of the people he brought here had the same status as him, and some were from the distant bloodline of the Lu family. Therefore, no one dared to refute his orders.
"Yes, we understand." Everyone cupped their fists and left according to Lu Mo's arrangements.
The group chasing south had seven people in total. The leader was Lu Chen, aperture opening state, and the remaining six were all at the meridian tempering state.
。。。
Zhuang Yan actually did not know that trouble had already come knocking on his door. In his expectations, even if he wanted to make a move on him, he should not be in such a hurry. He would probably wait for the matter to calm down for a period of time before taking action.
However, he did not expect Qingyue's actions to drive Lu Huang into a frenzy. He immediately sent someone to deal with him.
At this moment, he was in a medium-sized town about ten miles east of Xian Tian Sect, called Dengming Town.
Over the past few thousand years, this was a gathering place formed by those who admired the Xian Tian Sect and wanted to enter the cultivation world through the sect's trial. Many people who came from all over the world to participate in the Xian Tian Sect's entrance selection were waiting for their chance here.
There was no fixed time for the Xian Tian Sect's entrance selection. The disciples of the True Disciple Courtyard's Technique Impartation Hall would conduct the preliminary selection outside and then report the name list to the sect. When a certain number of people were gathered, they would organize a unified selection.
Those who were selected would become servant disciples and experience for three months. During this period, the sect would conduct a secret assessment to assess the servant disciples 'conduct, behavior, and so on.
After three months, they would be able to enter the Xian Tian Sect to cultivate according to the 'Pearl Picking' of the Clear Ray Mysterious Heavenly Mirror.
Other sects might have different details, but the basic steps were the same.
After arriving at Dengming Town, Zhuang Yan found a horse shop and bought a fast horse. Then, he quickly left the town.
He didn't have a destination for this trip. He could only walk to a suitable place, the best one was a place close to a mountain. Then, he would hide there for a period of time to cultivate, or wait for the Ghost Hand to be captured before returning.
After leaving the town, he rode a fast horse and galloped along the pipeline.
Not long after, Lu Chen and the others arrived at the town. They spent an hour asking around in the town and found Zhuang Yan's whereabouts.
After confirming that Zhuang Yan had left from the south, Lu Chen arranged for someone to go back and report to him. The rest followed after him.
