The next day, early morning.
Xu Ping’an walked out of the courtyard, feeling refreshed after a night of cultivation.
He had not felt this sense of urgency for a long ti, and now the pressure brought by the pine scent helped him suddenly retrieve the feeling he had during his past cultivation.
Thinking of this, Xu Ping’an could not help but praise the power of the Demon Elephant Tower once again.
It was simply a cultivation accelerator, allowing him to quickly find his shortcomings and make tily adjustnts.
Even if he was injured, he could recover quickly.
"It’s bad, it’s terrible."
Just then, a shout suddenly ca from afar.
Xu Ping’an frowned, his eyes instantly becoming sharp.
Because the person shouting was none other than Tang Jun.
"What’s wrong?" the others were attracted and ca out one after another.
Seeing that everyone had gathered around, Tang Jun seed sowhat at a loss for words.
Xu Ping’an, seeing Tang Jun’s expression, imdiately had a bad premonition.
"Tang Jun, what happened?" Qin Mu asked.
"This..." Tang Jun seed hesitant.
"Speak, what happened? If you don’t tell now, I’ll kill you," Xu Ping’an urged, shouting.
Seeing Xu Ping’an’s eyes filled with murderous intent, Tang Jun was startled.
He then spoke, "Song Lingxue and Tang Qingyu were kidnapped."
Xu Ping’an was shocked, staring at Tang Jun with endless murderous intent in his eyes.
"Who took them?" Xu Ping’an asked urgently.
"It was... a group of people, they claid to be from the Jade Immortal Sect," Tang Jun said quickly.
"Jade Immortal Sect?" So people in the crowd were puzzled, others were grave.
Du Yuan’s expression turned extrely solemn.
Was it the sa group of people from yesterday?
Xu Ping’an imdiately thought of the people he saw the day before, feeling extrely grave inside.
Among those strong individuals was an Eleventh Rank Third Layer Realm practitioner. If Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue were taken by them, the trouble could be considerable.
"Tell everything you know, don’t leave out any details," Xu Ping’an said, grabbing Tang Jun by the collar.
"You... by what right do you order around?" Tang Jun said angrily.
"Seeking death," Xu Ping’an’s eyes flashed with intense killing intent as he grabbed Tang Jun’s neck and lifted him up.
"I... I’ll tell you," Tang Jun said hastily.
His eyes, when looking at Xu Ping’an, carried a trace of terror.
"Speak." Xu Ping’an let go, and Tang Jun fell to the ground, gasping for air.
Xu Ping’an’s eyes were incredibly sharp, staring intently at Tang Jun like the edge of a knife.
"Here’s what happened. In the morning, I saw Song Lingxue and Tang Qingyu going out, so I volunteered to accompany them. They seed to be heading to a nearby comrce association to look for elixirs that might suit them. But unexpectedly, we ran into a group of people on the way."
"Among these people was a young man who took a liking to Song Lingxue and made lewd remarks. So, I cursed that guy, not expecting him to be so arrogant as to want to kill . Tang Qingyu stepped in to save , and that’s why she took action, but the opponents were nurous and very strong. In the end, both Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue were taken away, and that’s when I hurried back to report the incident," Tang Jun said hastily.
A strong killing intent surged in Xu Ping’an’s eyes.
This Tang Jun was simply a cowardly and selfish person.
Tang Qingyu and the others had taken action to save him, yet he stealthily slipped away.
For a mont, everyone looked at Tang Jun with contempt.
"Which direction did they run?" Xu Ping’an asked.
"The west gate, they seed to be planning to leave through the West City Gate," Tang Jun said quickly.
"Smack!"
A bolt of thunder flashed by.
The next mont, Xu Ping’an’s figure disappeared from where he stood.
At the sa ti, a voice sounded in the courtyard, "Big brother Du, you take them and leave first. I’ll go find them. There’s no need to wait for us."
Upon hearing this, everyone felt sowhat helpless.
Especially people like Song Kaitian, who were utterly dejected.
After all, they were renowned talents in the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, but ever since arriving in the Spirit Realm, they had felt incredibly stifled.
It was one thing for Xu Ping’an to have rescued them before, but now that their companions had been captured, they couldn’t offer any help at all.
"Let’s leave first. The people from the Jade Immortal Sect are at least above the Tenth Rank, and there are even Eleventh Rank powerhouses among them. Otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to co to the Dongyuan Continent so carelessly. Even if we went, we couldn’t be of any help," Du Yuan sighed as he spoke.
Not to ntion them, even he himself felt that this escort mission had been a complete failure.
Tang Jun, however, looked in the direction Xu Ping’an had left, a trace of vengeful light flashing in his eyes.
This Xu Ping’an had caused him to lose face in front of so many people; he would definitely settle this score sooner or later.
...
After Xu Ping’an left the courtyard, he hurried towards the West Gate.
However, he was not so blinded by anger that he lost his sense of reason.
With Eleventh Rank powerhouses among the opponents, and three of them at that, the prospect of rescuing the captives was extrely difficult.
But he absolutely would not stand by and do nothing while Tang Qingyu and Song Lingxue were taken away.
"First, I’ll follow them and see, and if that doesn’t work, then I’ll think of another plan," Xu Ping’an muttered to himself.
His footsteps quickened.
Using Thunder Imperial Nine Heavens, Xu Ping’an’s figure moved like a flash of thunder.
He quickly arrived at the West City Gate.
Outside the West City Gate, he also saw the people from the Jade Immortal Sect.
At this mont, they were gathered on a hillside outside the West City Gate.
An Eleventh Rank old man sat cross-legged on a huge rock, his gray-white beard blowing in the wind, resembling a statue.
However, the aura emanating from him was imnsely fearso, as if he carried a terrifying pressure that made everyone passing by dare not look at him directly.
On the other side of the old man sat two middle-aged n drinking together.
These two were also the Eleventh Rank powerhouses of the First Layer Realm.
The remaining five people, three n and two won, were all dressed in brocade robes and jade attire, each looking dignified.
The n were handso and suave, while the won, though not breathtakingly beautiful, possessed an ethereal air. Both could be considered attractive.
At such a Realm, as long as one’s appearance wasn’t too bad, it would change with the improvent of one’s cultivation.
So these two won were also of the level of beauties.
On the other side of these five people sat two won.
They were none other than Song Lingxue and Tang Qingyu.
Both had their cultivation sealed, and they bore varying degrees of injuries; evidently, they had been through a struggle.
Among the three n, a tall young man would occasionally glance at the two won with a greedy look in his eyes.
"Ding Yuan, what did you bring them here for? We’re out here on a mission; aren’t they just a burden if you bring them along?" Said a young man with hair bound in a crown and eyebrows sharp as swords.
"Elder brother Lu, these two are rare beauties. I’ve been out for so long, and this is the first ti I’ve seen such beautiful won, and two at the sa ti. My heart is truly itching," said the young man nad Ding Yuan with a smile.
"You lecher, when will you ever change this disgusting habit?" A woman in a blue dress said disdainfully.
"Sister Fang, don’t bla . I’ve said before that I wanted you to engage in Dual Cultivation with , but you wouldn’t agree. I had to find soone else. You know the Fire Cloud Technique that I practice; if I don’t vent the fire, I’d suffer from cultivation deviation," Ding Yuan said with a laugh.
"Humph, then why couldn’t you just find a place to get it done and co back later? Why did you have to bring them back to disgust us?" another woman in white snorted coldly, with a hint of frost in her eyes.
"That won’t do. It would be such a waste to kill such superior grades on the spot. I must bring them back to the Sect to be well cared for. Moreover, the elders have agreed, so what’s with all the unnecessary talk?" Ding Yuan said with a cold laugh, his eyes carrying a hint of ruffian arrogance.
He seed unafraid of these peers.
However, Xu Ping’an, hiding in the shadows, heard these words and a previously unseen killing intent surged in his eyes.
