Chapter 49: Encountering Pursuit

Lu Tianyu feigned a slightly panicked expression and steered the flying ship forward at high speed.

Fortunately, however, that strand of Divine Sense only lingered on him for five breaths before departing.

Swish!

Two flying ships brushed past each other.

Lu Tianyu let out a sigh of relief.

He was not afraid of the people from the Xuanqing Sect.

This place was too close to the Kulu Zong warship; it would be bad if he were discovered by the people from the Kulu Zong.

Lu Wenbin walked out of the cabin, trembling, clutching his chest and panting heavily: "Big Brother, what are you doing?"

"Startling me like that, my little heart can't take it."

His Divine Sense was relatively weak, and he could not detect the aura of the Xuanqing Sect's flying ship from a distance at all.

The moment he entered the cabin, the Xuanqing Sect's flying ship had already passed by, and he hadn't even seen it.

Slap!

Lu Tianyu patted the back of Lu Wenbin's head: "Your performance just now made me dissatisfied; we practiced it several times, yet you lost your nerve on the spot."

"If you act like this again in the future, I won't let you see Xiao Cui."

If he hadn't improvised just now, they would have been exposed, and all their hard work would have been for nothing.

Lu Wenbin rubbed his head in confusion: "Ah?"

"I was indeed a bit scared; the people from the Kulu Zong are too fierce, I can't handle it."

He chuckled: "After experiencing this, I won't be afraid next time."

"Big Brother, you can't stop introducing me to Xiao Cui; it concerns the grand plan of our Lu family's family planning."

Lu Tianyu shook his head with a bitter smile: "A Xuanqing Sect flying ship just passed by; could they be going to cause trouble for the Eight Emperors Star Domain?"

"This disguise of ours won't work anymore; we must change back quickly."

As he spoke, he was the first to enter the flying ship to change his clothes.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenbin was startled and only then realized: "What did you say? A Xuanqing Sect flying ship just passed by?"

"Needless to say, they must be going to cause trouble for the Bahuang Xingyu."

He shivered: "Think about it, Ma Wudi has been killed by you for four days; the people from the Xuanqing Sect must know that his soul lamp has gone out."

"Ma Wudi was just an ordinary Outer Sect Disciple; the Xuanqing Sect wasn't in a hurry to find trouble with the Bahuang Clan, but coming here now must be for this matter."

"Let's quickly use disguise and bone-shrinking techniques to change our clothes; once the Xuanqing Sect and Kulu Zong people meet, they will both know we are impostors and will definitely come to chase us."

"Quick, quick, quick!"

Lu Wenbin was extremely anxious.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

The moment Ma Wudi's soul lamp went out, the Xuanqing Sect did not immediately investigate after learning of it.

Two days later, the Xuanqing Sect Master Luo Qianqu convened a meeting to discuss how to handle the matter of Ma Wudi being killed in the Bahuang Star Domain.

After discussion, it was finally decided to extort the Bahuang Xingyu and make them pay a price.

Anyway, the Bahuang Xingyu was about to be destroyed; they might as well scrape up whatever benefits they could.

In normal times, they wouldn't even bother to pay attention to the disappearance of an ordinary disciple like Ma Wudi, nor was it worth their attention.

Now the situation was different; the Bahuang Clan was besieged by the Nether Three Sects, which was the perfect time to make them bleed.

The person sent by the Xuanqing Sect this time was the External Affairs Elder, Ma Dachuan.

Ma Wudi was a distant relative of Ma Dachuan, which could be used to negotiate with the Bahuang Clan.

If the Bahuang Clan did not agree to the compensation, it would be even better; the Xuanqing Sect could take the opportunity to unite with the Nether Three Sects and get a larger share of the Bahuang Clan's cake.

Ma Dachuan's Divine Sense was not as powerful as Lu Tianyu's; he only discovered them after Lu Tianyu had switched flying ships.

Otherwise, he would have directly intercepted Lu Tianyu's flying ship to ask a few questions.

At this moment.

At the place where Lu Tianyu emerged from the Bahuang Demon-Suppressing Array.

The Kulu Zong Out-of-Body Stage commander, Ming Cangjiu, frowned deeply: "Why do I feel like something is wrong?"

Having just let Lu Tianyu go, he vaguely felt he had overlooked something, but he couldn't recall it.

The small team captain asked in confusion: "Commander, I also feel it's a bit strange."

"Ma Wudi acted too calmly; his attendants were scared like that, yet he was still so arrogant."

"Should we confirm it with the Xuanqing Sect side?"

"We only suspect it, we haven't confirmed it!" Ming Cangjiu waved his hand: "Better to avoid extra trouble, forget it!"

After speaking, he suddenly turned his head: "The people from the Xuanqing Sect are here!"

"What are they doing here?"

Within his line of sight, a flying ship engraved with the Xuanqing Sect's emblem flew over rapidly, only slowing down when it reached close range.

A loud voice came from the flying ship: "Fellow Daoist of the Kulu Zong, I am Ma Dachuan, External Affairs Elder of the Xuanqing Sect."

"Xuanqing Sect disciple Ma Wudi was killed in the Eight Emperors Star Domain; I have come this time to demand an explanation from the Bahuang Clan, please do not block me!"

Ma Dachuan appeared on the deck and cupped his hands toward Ming Cangjiu.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, he stated his purpose directly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, Ming Cangjiu's expression changed instantly: "What did you say?"

"Ma Wudi was killed in the Eight Emperors Star Domain? Then the one who just passed by..."

At this moment, he understood instantly.

The Ma Wudi from just now was nine times out of ten a fake; it must have been someone from the Bahuang Clan disguised as Ma Wudi who escaped!

Yet he could not figure out why that person just now had the Xuanqing Qi unique to the Xuanqing Sect emanating from his body.

Could there be such a brilliant Disguise Technique?

"Hmm?"

Ma Dachuan observed his expression and also discovered something unusual: "This Commander, what did you say passed by just now?"

Ming Cangjiu waved his hand to conjure the appearance of Ma Wudi: "This person claimed to be Ma Wudi, passed by me just now, and headed... in this direction!"

At this moment, he could be certain that the person who passed by just now was definitely someone from the Bahuang Clan in disguise.

Because the direction those two were heading was toward the Dark Star Territory, not the direction of the Xuanqing Sect.

Moreover, for an ordinary disciple like Ma Wudi to be so arrogant, and for the elder to be so polite to him, it was clearly very abnormal.

He regretted that he had not considered things thoroughly just now and had overlooked some details.

Slap!

Ma Dachuan slapped the side of the flying boat: "Ma Wudi's soul lamp has gone out; the Ma Wudi from just now must be a fake, hurry and pursue!"

After speaking, he steered the flying boat to turn around and accelerated, rushing toward the direction they had come from.

Ming Cangjiu also had an ugly expression: "The Bahuang Clan has such great audacity, actually escaping right under my nose, detestable!"

"You all guard this place well, do not let a single person from the Bahuang Clan out, and no one from any sect is allowed to come out!"

"If you let even one person go, I will take your life!"

Whoosh!

He caught up to the Xuanqing Sect's flying boat: "Fellow Daoist Ma, I will accompany you to hunt down that scoundrel, may I board the flying boat?"

Ma Dachuan opened the Restriction directly: "Come up!"

Once Ming Cangjiu was on the flying boat, he said in a deep voice: "The people of the Bahuang Clan are so bold, daring to disguise themselves as disciples of my Xuanqing Sect to escape!"

"When we catch them later, we must pull their tendons and refine their souls!"

Ming Cangjiu also said coldly: "These two must be the seeds the Bahuang Clan sent out in secret!"

"They felt they could not escape the catastrophe, so they sent out seeds with the intention of taking revenge on my Kulu Zong in the future; they are thinking too much!"
