Chapter 56: Scheming Against Luo Yuanting!

Lu Wenbin shuddered instantly and looked toward the rear: "Is someone trying to rob us?"

He was no fool and immediately realized that Lu Tianyu was implying something.

It was just that his Divine Sense was very weak, and he could not detect any abnormalities behind them at all.

Lu Tianyu nodded slightly: "They have been following for three hours, and I have shaken them off every time."

"It seems they cannot be shaken off now."

The flying boat he was piloting was the flying boat of Ancestor Black Bone, and its speed was very high.

He had discovered the tail behind them several times and accelerated to shake them off, but the flying boat behind still chased after them like a persistent pest.

Approaching the Turbid Flow Star Ring, the flying boat had to slow down, and the flying boat behind drew closer and closer.

Lu Tianyu accelerated and rushed toward the star ring, and the flying boat behind also accelerated and followed.

Whoosh!

The flying boat charged into the gray, misty Turbid Flow Star Ring, then stopped, turned around, and violently accelerated backward.

Lu Tianyu grabbed Lu Wenbin's arm and flashed out of the flying boat.

Then he took out an ordinary flying boat and jumped onto it.

Lu Wenbin cried out in alarm: "Big Brother, what are you doing?"

Then his eyes widened.

A dark cyan large ship whistled over and slammed directly into the high-speed Black Bone flying boat with a bang.

Rumble!

A loud noise!

The protective barriers on the surfaces of the two flying boats shattered instantly, the bow of the ship exploded into pieces, followed by the hull.

Accompanied by screams and wails, flames shot into the sky.

More than a dozen figures in tattered cyan clothes flew out in all directions in extreme disarray.

But they were worthy of being well-trained experts; they quickly gathered together again: "What is going on!"

Luo Yuanting said in a deep voice: "Need you ask? That brat must have discovered us!"

"Chase him!"

He quickly took out a flying boat, activated it, and flew up.

Just at this moment.

A faint voice sounded overhead: "So it is people from the Xuanqing Sect; who sent you here!"

Swish, swish, swish~

Everyone looked up in unison.

They saw a handsome young man in cyan clothes on a flying boat, looking down at them with a gaze as sharp as a knife.

Luo Yuanting said coldly: "It is you, Lu Tianyu!"

"I am Luo Yuanting, Commander of the Xuan Yi Guard of the Xuanqing Sect."

"On the orders of the Sect Master, I am here specifically to escort you to the Xuanqing Sect for refuge. How do you explain deliberately destroying my flying boat?"

He was not sure if Changmei Laozu was on Lu Tianyu's flying boat, so he did not dare to move to capture Lu Tianyu directly.

He released his Divine Sense to carefully probe the flying boat, but he discovered nothing at all.

Yet his vigilance became even higher.

Judging by his many years of experience, discovering nothing was the most dangerous thing.

Because Changmei Laozu's realm far exceeded his own, he could not discover Changmei Laozu at all.

Perhaps Changmei Laozu was watching his every move from some corner, ready to strike at any time.

Lu Tianyu chuckled: "Escort me to the Xuanqing Sect for refuge?"

"You followed all the way here without saying hello, acting sneakily; is this your attitude toward escorting me?"

"Do you think I, Lu Tianyu, am a fool, or is there something wrong with your brains!"

He did not know why Luo Yuanting had not acted directly along the way.

Luo Yuanting was a cultivator at the early stage of Spirit Severing.

Among the eighteen cultivators behind him, there were eight at the Out-of-Body Stage and ten at the Nascent Soul Stage; this was simply not something Lu Tianyu could handle.

Moreover, these people had steady and murderous auras; one look and it was clear they were not ordinary cultivators.

Before figuring out the situation, he would not easily resort to measures.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuanting's face turned livid: "It seems Changmei Laozu is on your flying boat."

He bowed toward Lu Tianyu's flying boat and saluted: "Changmei Laozu, you must surely understand that the Bahuang Star Domain could collapse at any time."

"Out of consideration for his daughter Luo Yunshang's repeated pleas, the Sect Master decided to escort Lu Tianyu to the Xuanqing Sect for protection, to preserve a thread of Bahuang's legacy."

"I ask that the Ancestor not make things difficult for us!"

Luo Yuanting did not believe that Lu Tianyu could detect his tracking; it must have been Changmei Laozu directing him from the shadows.

But there was one thing he was very confused about: why would Changmei Laozu drive a flying boat to ram his flying boat?

This did not fit the style of any Void Refinement Ancestor at all.

"Changmei Laozu?"

A wicked smile appeared on the corner of Lu Tianyu's mouth: "You are truly impressive, actually knowing that my great-grandfather is on the boat."

"I cannot make the decision on this matter; I need to ask my great-grandfather. Please wait a moment."

As he spoke, his lips moved slightly, putting on the appearance of sending a sound transmission.

Yet he was secretly laughing inside.

So it is my great-grandfather you are wary of, thinking he came out to protect me; foolish to the extreme.

Since that is the case, I will take the opportunity to use my great-grandfather's prestige to play with you all.

As for what Luo Yuanting said about Luo Qianqiu picking him up and taking him to the Xuanqing Sect for protection, he did not believe a single word of it.

The fact that the Bahuang suffered a crisis and his mother was detained when she went there shows the Xuanqing Sect's attitude: they are unwilling to get involved in any matters of the Bahuang Star Domain.

His mother, Luo Yunshang, would certainly ask Luo Qianqiu to protect him, but Luo Qianqiu would definitely not agree.

Because he killed Ming Tianqi, the Saint Son of the Kulu Zong, the Kulu Zong would not let him go, no matter who else they might spare.

Considering it from the Xuanqing Sect's standpoint, they would absolutely not go against the Nether Three Sects for the sake of him, Lu Tianyu, a mere Saint Son.

Besides, even if they wanted to fish Lu Tianyu out, it would require a great price and simply would not be worth it.

If it were the Lu Tianyu of before, he would certainly have believed Luo Yuanting's words.

But he had undergone Soul Dual Cultivation with the Qian Gu Nu Di for one hundred thousand years; his mental age was enough to call him an old monster, and he saw through it at a glance.

Seeing Lu Tianyu deep in thought, Luo Yuanting assumed he was waiting for the answer from Changmei Laozu and did not urge him.

In his view, Changmei Laozu would certainly agree for the sake of Lu Tianyu.

Changmei Laozu could barely protect himself, so sending Lu Tianyu to the Xuanqing Sect was the safest and most reliable option.

As expected.

Lu Tianyu looked at him: "My great-grandfather agrees to let you take me to the Xuanqing Sect."

"However, I cannot go right now; I still have one thing to do, and I need your help with it."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuanting immediately asked: "What matter?"

He felt vaguely uneasy.

His mission this time was to bring Lu Tianyu back to the Xuanqing Sect; if Lu Tianyu made any excessive demands, there would be big trouble.

Lu Tianyu looked at Lu Wenbin beside him, his expression solemn: "This person beside me is a descendant of my Donghuang Clan; I want to send him safely to Diling City, so I trouble the Commander to escort us for a leg of the journey."

"Once we reach Diling City, I will return to the Xuanqing Sect with you immediately, how about that?"

The Zhuoliu Xingyu is chaotic by nature, and there are many bandits in the star ring region.

If Luo Yuanting could escort them through the star ring to Diling City for free, it would save a lot of trouble.

After all, Luo Yuanting is a Xuan Yi Guard of the Xuanqing Sect; bandits would not dare to offend people from such a major sect and would be too busy avoiding them to do anything else.

Luo Yuanting's brows relaxed: "That is no problem; I hope you can keep your promise."

He waved his hand and gave the order: "Clear the way ahead!"

He assumed that Changmei Laozu was hiding in the flying boat and did not dare to show his face, fearing that the Kulu Zong would discover his tracks, and thus had them clear the way.

These were all minor issues; as long as he could bring Lu Tianyu back, that was all that mattered.
