Chapter 129: Making a Move [Thanks again to the Bai Yin Alliance leader, Liulang Guzhu Yi]

Lu Ziying took the reins, her "slender fingers" not hooking Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Huiyun, you should take it!" Lu Ziying handed the reins to Lu Huiyun.

"Thank you, Miss!" Seeing this, Lu Huiyun dismounted and took the reins, bowing to thank her, then handed the reins of her own horse to Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming took the reins, specifically stroked the mane of the He He Wuyun Wuyun Wuyun Taxue lightly, and whispered a few words in its ear.

This He He Wuyun Wuyun Wuyun Taxue was searched for him by Ji Yuanzhen at the cost of a lot of manpower. It originally seemed to have some spirituality, and in the past few days, Xia Daoming had been sharing some spiritual rice with it every day, making it seem even more spiritual.

When Xia Daoming whispered to it, it seemed to really understand, nodding repeatedly. Then it stretched its neck, lightly rubbed against Lu Huiyun's arm, and came to Lu Yunjin, kneeling its front knees to let him ride up.

This scene not only made the martial artists marvel repeatedly, but even Lu Ziying's pair of big eyes shone brightly, as if she remembered something, and as if she was somewhat moved.

"This horse is truly worthy of being called a spiritual steed. I think only Miss can be worthy of this spiritual steed." Seeing Lu Ziying's gaze on the He He Wuyun Wuyun Wuyun Taxue was somewhat fervent, Lu Chengwei's heart moved, and he spoke.

"Lu Chengwei, what nonsense are you talking about! This is my Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong's..." Lu Ye couldn't help but get anxious upon hearing this and blurted out.

"Lu Ye, you..." Lu Huiyun was startled upon hearing this and called out hurriedly.

"Forget it, let's go!" Lu Ziying waved her hand to interrupt, but her expression was clearly slightly unhappy.

Seeing this, the corners of Lu Chengwei's mouth curled into a gloating sneer, while Lu Huiyun and Lu Ye looked at each other, both seeing the worry in each other's eyes.

Xia Daoming, the person involved, seemed to have very low emotional intelligence, still maintaining a very casual and calm demeanor, which made Lu Ye want to speak several times but stop.

Seeing Lu Ye want to speak several times but stop, Lu Huiyun gave him several winks.

"Xia Shidi Xu Shixiong, when we arrive at Jin Guifeng, can you take the initiative to offer this spiritual steed..." In the end, Lu Ye still leaned close to Xia Daoming and lowered his voice.

Before Lu Ye could finish speaking, a piercing eagle cry rang out.

Then, a black dot in the air shot toward the horse team at high speed. The speed was as fast as lightning. By the time everyone saw clearly that it was a black eagle with golden light shooting from its eyes, the surrounding area was already filled with strong winds, and fallen leaves and sand were flying everywhere—it was the hurricane caused by the black eagle's two wings.

"Everyone, be careful!" Lu Ziying and the leading eighth-rank Great Wu Shi's voices rang out one after another.

"Caw! Caw!" The horses were startled, letting out long neighs, wanting to escape, but were held tightly by the reins by their masters, helplessly lifting their hooves high and kicking around.

"Boom!"

The shouts of Lu Ziying and the others and the neighing of the horses were still echoing over the mountain road when the black eagle had already swooped down like lightning. Its wings suddenly slapped away the martial artist beside Lu Chengwei, and its two eagle claws, shining with metallic luster and capable of piercing gold and stone, hooked down toward Lu Chengwei.

Lu Chengwei was so scared his face turned pale, and he hurriedly drew his saber, slashing toward the eagle claws.

But his saber had just been slashed out when it was slapped away by the black eagle's wings.

The sharp claws fell, instantly piercing his chest, lifting him up, and in the blink of an eye, it soared into the air, turning into a black dot and disappearing into the clouds.

Everyone watched as the black eagle turned into a black dot and disappeared into the clouds, their faces pale and terrified, especially Lu Yunjin, who burst into tears.

Only Xia Daoming looked at the direction where the black eagle disappeared, a trace of gravity and thought appearing in his eyes.

"Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan is indeed different. I don't know what the origin of this golden-eyed black eagle is, or if it's raised by an immortal cultivator. It's at least equivalent to an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi. It seems I must act carefully here and must not be arrogant!"

Lu Ziying looked up at the sky, her face pale and ugly. After a long time, she seemed to calm down and said: "Let's go, everyone be as careful as possible. The birds and beasts here are nourished by the spiritual energy of Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan and are stronger than those outside. Some even encounter strange opportunities in the deep mountains and marshes, eating immortal fruits and herbs, making them even more powerful and astonishing.

That just now was called a golden-eyed black eagle, one of the fiercest beasts in Ten Thousand Spiral Xianshan. We were unlucky today to have encountered it."

Just as Lu Ziying was speaking, two piercing eagle cries rang out in the sky one after another.

Everyone was greatly shocked, looking up at the sky one after another. Lu Yunjin even forgot to cry, looking up at the sky in horror.

I saw that this time two black dots appeared in the air, and they were shooting toward the horse team again.

"Everyone dismount and protect Miss!" The eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, having suffered a loss just now, had learned his lesson. While shouting, he jumped off his horse and stood guard beside Lu Ziying with his saber.

Lu Ziying's fingers were already pinching spells repeatedly.

Those martial artists of the Lu family who were close to Lu Ziying all dismounted and approached Lu Ziying and the eighth-rank Great Wu Shi.

This move seemed to be protecting Lu Ziying, but in reality, it was also protecting themselves.

Because the atmosphere of the He He Wuyun Wuyun Wuyun Taxue incident just now was a bit subtle, Lu Ye and his wife, with their son, trailed behind Xia Daoming, wanting to do some ideological work on Xia Daoming privately, so they were far from Lu Ziying.

Lu Zhengqin and Lu Chengwei had the intention to find an opportunity to continue mocking Lu Ye and watching the two fellow disciples make a fool of themselves, so they also leaned slightly behind.

The two golden-eyed black eagles swooped down, actually splitting into two paths, one flying toward Lu Ziying and the others, and one flying straight toward Lu Huiyun and her son.

That Lu Zhengqin, a dignified seventh-rank Great Wu Shi, saw the black eagle flying toward Lu Huiyun and her son and dodged to the side without thinking, fearing he would be implicated. Lu Ye had already roared, his veins bulging, and regardless of everything, jumped in front of his wife and son, holding a large saber and slashing fiercely at the black eagle flying down.

The terrifying scene of the black eagle flying down just now and grabbing Lu Chengwei with one claw was still fresh in his mind.

Lu Ye's strength was not as good as Lu Chengwei's, and now he was rushing up alone to block it. Seeing this, Lu Huiyun was so scared her face turned pale.

"Daoming, protect Jin Er well!" Lu Huiyun pushed her son to Xia Daoming without thinking and was about to rush up to help Lu Ye.

Lu Huiyun had just pushed her son to Xia Daoming when she saw a figure flash. It was Xia Daoming, who flew forward, grabbed Lu Yunjin, and at the same time jumped up. While in the air, he had already drawn his saber and slashed at the golden-eyed black eagle flying down.

The saber light was as dazzling as a bolt of lightning.

The golden-eyed black eagle saw a cold and sharp saber light coming and felt a strong crisis. It didn't even dare to flap its wings, which were like steel, but instead changed to using its two claws to hook down toward the large saber.

"Clang!"

The steel claws landed on the large saber, and a huge force surged out. The golden-eyed black eagle let out a sharp cry, instantly flapped its wings and soared into the sky, turning into a black dot and disappearing in the blink of an eye, not daring to swoop down again at all.

On the other side, the black eagle, under the joint attack of Lu Ziying and many Great Martial Masters, although it failed to succeed and grab a Great Wu Shi, it also slapped down two sixth-rank Great Martial Masters one after another before flapping its wings and leaving.

The two golden-eyed black eagles left one after another. The crowd, still having lingering fears, cast their eyes on Xia Daoming, their eyes full of shock.

Especially Lu Ye and his wife, thinking of Xia Daoming just now grabbing their son, jumping up, drawing his saber and killing, slashing the golden-eyed black eagle away with one stroke—the whole movement was as smooth as flowing water and done in one go—their eyes were even more full of horror, their hearts surging and unable to calm down for a long time.

"I have tried my best to keep a low profile, but it was still inevitable that I made a big scene!" Xia Daoming saw everyone looking at himself one after another and shook his head helplessly.

The situation was urgent just now; he couldn't not make a move.

However, he still tried his best to restrain himself, only revealing a cultivation base below that of a Grandmaster. Otherwise, if he really slashed out across the air and the force took shape, those two golden-eyed black eagles would probably have been slashed in half with one stroke.

"You are an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi, you are actually an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi! Then why didn't you make a move to save Lu Chengwei just now? You clearly could have saved him!"

Soon, a sharp questioning voice broke the silence. Lu Zhengqin pointed his finger at Xia Daoming with a face full of grief and indignation.

Ming.

"You are a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi, you should have been able to block the golden-eyed black eagle for two or three moves, but what were you doing when the golden-eyed black eagle swooped down just now?" Xia Daoming asked coldly in return.

"I..." Lu Zhengqin stammered, but soon he said again: "That's different for me. After all, I am only a seventh-rank Great Wu Shi, and you are an eighth-rank Great Wu Shi. You completely had the strength..."

"You are not qualified to say this to me! If you really treated my Xu Shixiong as a Lu family son-in-law, if you really treated my Sister-in-law and nephew as blood relatives of the clan, even if you were a sixth-rank Great Wu Shi, you should have stepped forward at this time and joined forces with my Xu Shixiong to fight to the death and strive for an opportunity." Xia Daoming interrupted coldly.

Lu Lu Chengtian molesting a woman, and he and Lu Chengwei worrying about his status and not daring to step forward to stop him, could still be said to be excusable.

But their own Xu Shixiong stepped forward to stop him and was beaten half to death. Not only did they not sympathize, but they even mocked him time and again for overestimating his capabilities, and even thought Lu Lu Chengtian was right to beat him. How is this any different from Lu Lu Chengtian's conduct?

Along the way, they deliberately looked for trouble and mocked them many times. Just now, they even used the He He Wuyun Wuyun Wuyun Taxue to provoke trouble. If it weren't for the fact that it wasn't appropriate for Xia Daoming to reveal his true strength yet, he would have slapped them half to death long ago.

Just now, the golden-eyed black eagle grabbed Lu Chengwei, so why would he make a move to save him?

Do they really think he is a pushover who doesn't fight back when hit or talk back when scolded, and a soft-hearted person who makes a move to help when the other party is in trouble?

As for now, Lu Zhengqin accused him in public, and he wouldn't give him any good looks either!

Anyway, he had already revealed his eighth-rank Great Wu Shi cultivation, and he was so young, which could be considered to have some strong capital.

"You, you..." Lu Zhengqin didn't expect that this guy, whom he had mocked and ridiculed along the way, would suddenly change his submissive attitude at this moment, and was so angry that his face turned green.

"Miss, you, you judge this. He, he didn't make a move to save him, and he actually has a reason!" Soon Lu Zhengqin turned to Lu Ziying.

He knew very well that only Lu Ziying could suppress Xia Daoming's arrogance now.

Lu Ziying looked at Xia Daoming.

Xia Daoming also looked at her, his gaze calm.
