Chapter 48: A Thrilling Escape!

Bang!

The skeleton soldier was sent flying three zhang away, tumbling as it fell.

The flying boat finally stopped, hovering in mid-air.

Lu Wenbin almost screamed, but he managed to react in time.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh~

Five skeleton soldiers immediately surrounded them, standing suspended in the air without moving.

"How bold, to dare to flee!"

Over ten black-robed cultivators flew out from the warship, surrounding Lu Tianyu's flying boat tightly.

A cold, chilling aura swept over.

Lu Tianyu let out a cold snort: "A mere Skull Cave Sect, yet you dare to block my path!"

"I am Ma Wudi, a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect. Even Ancestor Bahuang would not dare to stop me. You dare to block me while I am being sent out?"

He tilted his head: "Make way quickly. This young master needs to return to the sect to turn in a mission. Can you bear the responsibility if my affairs are delayed?"

Lu Tianyu's expression was arrogant, perfectly replicating the posture Ma Wudi had once held.

I am a man of the Xuanqing Sect; I bet you lot wouldn't dare touch me at all.

As it turned out, Lu Tianyu had directly manipulated the Kulu Jiang to kill Ma Wudi, and Old Eagle Head was also killed after kneeling to beg for mercy, along with several attendants.

Once these words were spoken, the leading Skull Cave Sect cultivator was truly frightened.

Their various blockade points were interconnected, and nearly ten days had passed; never had it happened that someone came out from the inside.

The Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array was controlled by Ancestor Bahuang; if this person could come out, he must have been released because Ancestor Bahuang could not afford to provoke him.

He was just a sesame-sized official in the Skull Cave Sect; could he afford to provoke this person?

Lu Wenbin was also stunned.

This Lu Tianyu was far too bold, truly treating himself as a member of the Xuanqing Sect.

The key was that even the people of the Xuanqing Sect weren't as badass as you, with a common disciple challenging so many people here.

Lu Tianyu pointed at the leader: "I give you ten breaths of time. If you do not move aside, I will force my way through!"

"If you dare to stop me, I will crush the sect's Transmission Talisman and inform them that your Skull Cave Sect killed a disciple of my Xuanqing Sect, attempting to trigger a great war between the Xuanqing Sect and the Skull Cave Sect!"

"The countdown begins!"

"Ten, nine, eight..."

The Skull Cave Sect cultivator finally spoke: "Wait!"

"I have no intention of causing a war between the two sects. During these extraordinary times, we must conduct inspections to prevent remnants of the Bahuang Clan from escaping. Please, young master, cooperate with the inspection!"

He took out a skull-shaped Dharma Tool: "It will only delay you for ten breaths. I ask that you do not make things difficult for me, young master!"

He observed that there was indeed a Xuanqing Sect emblem on the flying boat, and he had basically confirmed that Lu Tianyu was a member of the Xuanqing Sect.

But in order to fulfill his duty, he used the Breath-Discriminating Mirror to check if this person was disguised.

Lu Tianyu acted as if he hadn't heard the man, saying in a deep voice: "Three, two, one, time is up!"

"Old Eagle Head, give me maximum speed, charge through!"

"If they dare to stop me, hmph!"

Lu Wenbin finally came to his senses and said loudly: "Understood."

"We have ten Thunderbolt Beads on this ship; if they block us, I'll let them know the power of the Thunderbolt Beads!"

Following the procedure rehearsed earlier.

Lu Wenbin opened his palm to display two pitch-black beads the size of walnuts, while simultaneously manipulating the flying boat to emit a massive humming sound.

At this moment, he was so nervous that his heart felt like it was about to jump out of his throat.

My Thunderbolt Beads are fake, the people are fake; won't I be exposed if you inspect us?

It's over, completely over!

"Ah? Thunderbolt Beads?"

The Skull Cave Sect cultivator was terrified upon hearing this: "This..."

"Then, then you may go!"

Thunderbolt Beads were large-scale weapons of mass destruction of the Xuanqing Sect; disciples who could carry Thunderbolt Beads were generally disciples valued by the sect.

This person actually had ten of them!

If these were detonated, they would likely all die here.

He immediately cowered.

Lu Tianyu let out a cold snort: "That's more like it, move aside quickly!"

Yet in his heart, he was secretly laughing; you were scared by me just like that. The Xuanqing Sect's Thunderbolt Beads are well-deserved of their reputation; when I have the chance, I must get a few real ones to test their power.

The Skull Cave Sect cultivator waved his hand: "Let them go!"

Lu Wenbin also let out a sigh of relief and immediately put the Thunderbolt Beads away, fearing he would be exposed.

But suddenly.

A powerful aura suddenly descended from the sky, accompanied by a sharp shout: "What is happening!"

"Who are they?"

A figure flickered.

A black-robed person with a cold aura stood in mid-air, his sinister gaze sweeping over Lu Tianyu and Lu Wenbin.

Lu Wenbin's face turned pale in an instant, and his legs began to tremble.

He thought to himself, oh my mother, this is an Out-of-Body Stage expert!

It's finished, we're going to be exposed!

"It's all your fault, Lu Tianyu, for coming up with this rotten idea and dragging me into it too; now I won't be able to see my beloved Xiao Cui!"

Lu Tianyu's expression remained unchanged, and he coldly snorted: "A fine Kulu Zong, daring to make things difficult for us in every way; it seems you have chosen to be enemies with my Xuanqing Sect!"

Before coming out, he had already considered the worst-case scenario.

At worst, he would expose himself and force his way out!

He would use his soul pressure to suppress these people and then have Bahuang Laozu strike to kill them.

Right now, there was a trend toward that worst-case scenario.

The leading cultivator bowed and saluted the black-robed man: "Commander, this person is from the Xuanqing Sect..."

He briefly summarized the situation.

The black-robed man furrowed his brows and looked at Lu Tianyu: "You are a disciple of the Xuanqing Sect?"

As he spoke, his Divine Sense surged out like a tide, enveloping Lu Tianyu to investigate him carefully.

"How bold, you actually dare to use your seniority to bully the young!"

Lu Tianyu, however, was not afraid in the slightest; a communication bead appeared in his hand: "I am reporting this to my master right now, you Kulu Zong..."

At this moment, he was already prepared to strike.

Although he had used the Bahuang Heaven-Swallowing Cauldron to mask and disguise his aura, this was after all his first time using the Bone-Shrinking Disguise Technique, so he could not guarantee it was foolproof.

But the next second, the pressure of the Out-of-Body Stage vanished instantly.

The black-robed man chuckled: "You truly are a cultivator of the Xuanqing Sect; the Xuanqing Qi you cultivate is incomparably pure."

He flicked his sleeve: "Please leave, young master!"

"May I ask the young master's name?"

His attitude was extremely polite.

Lu Tianyu let out a cold snort: "Ma Wudi of the Xuanqing Sect!"

"Old Eagle Head, let's go!"

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenbin was overjoyed and immediately urged the flying boat forward.

Swish!

The flying boat shot out of the Kulu Zong's encirclement like an arrow from a bow, heading straight in the direction of the Diling Sect.

Lu Wenbin pushed the speed of the flying boat to the limit, not daring to even look back.

But just at this moment.

Lu Tianyu's Divine Sense detected that several dozen miles ahead, a flying boat marked with the Xuanqing Sect was speeding toward them.

His expression changed instantly: "Put away the flying boat, switch to a personal one!"

Lu Wenbin had not yet recovered from the relief of escaping and asked in astonishment upon hearing this: "Why switch?"

"This Xuanqing Sect flying boat is quite useful, and it can even bluff people."

At this moment,

Lu Tianyu observed that the Xuanqing Sect flying boat was already less than ten miles away.

He took out his own flying boat, started it quickly, and grabbed Lu Wenbin, throwing him into the cabin.

At the same time, he put away the Xuanqing Sect flying boat and reverted to his original appearance and stature.

It was just that there was no time to change his clothes.

Because the Xuanqing Sect's tower ship was already less than five miles away.

The Divine Sense of an Out-of-Body Stage cultivator swept over, firmly locking onto Lu Tianyu.
