Chapter 57: Catching Luo Yuanting Off Guard

~8 min read 1,446 words

The Xuanqing Sect's flying ship led the way, while Luo Yuanting followed behind, piloting his small boat alone.

It was just that Luo Yuanting did not notice Lu Wenbin covering his mouth, nearly laughing out loud.

With the escort of these people from the Xuanqing Sect, the rest of their journey would be very smooth.

The only worry was how Lu Tianyu would escape during the time it took to reach the Zhuoliu Xingyu.

He lowered his voice and asked, "Big Brother, you've really played this up too big; with us surrounded front and back, how are we going to get out?"

Lu Tianyu smiled slightly: "Then we won't go out; we'll just follow them back to the Xuanqing Sect, won't we?"

"Aren't you just thinking about your Xiao Cui? There are plenty of female disciples in the Xuanqing Sect, and you are handsome and wealthy, so you could find a few more; why hang yourself from a single tree?"

He opened a protective barrier to prevent Luo Yuanting from hearing their conversation.

Lu Wenbin waved his hands vigorously: "It's true that this handsome guy is handsome and wealthy, but I am devoted in love; apart from Miss Xiao Cui, I covet no other woman."

"Besides, is your maternal grandfather really that kind-hearted?"

"Look at the way those people from the Xuan Yi Guard look at us, just like they are examining prisoners; we definitely won't have any good results if we go."

"Big Brother, you must have a way to escape; just tell me how you want me to cooperate."

Lu Tianyu chuckled: "You really do understand me; it's like this..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenbin's eyes widened instantly: "This can work too..."

Luo Yuanting followed behind Lu Tianyu's flying ship at a distance that was neither too near nor too far.

For some reason, he felt vaguely uneasy.

He kept feeling that something was wrong, but he just couldn't think of where the problem lay.

Just at this moment.

On the flying ship ahead, he saw Lu Tianyu smiling and waving at him: "Commandant Luo, come over for a chat."

After a slight start, Luo Yuanting steered his boat closer: "I don't think we have anything to talk about, do we?"

He always felt that this Lu Tianyu was a bit strange, but he had checked his aura and it was correct.

"Commandant Luo, at this speed, it will still take six hours to reach Diling Star; why not come into my cabin for a chat? I have already prepared wine and food."

Lu Tianyu had a warm smile on his face, his hands clasped behind his back.

Luo Yuanting refused directly: "That won't do!"

He declined politely: "As a Commandant, I absolutely cannot drink alcohol."

There was vigilance on his face.

Lu Tianyu asking him to board the ship to drink at this time must surely involve some conspiracy or trickery.

He suspected whether Changmei Laozu was about to make a move against him.

Yet he saw Lu Tianyu shake his head and sigh: "You, this Commandant, are truly boring; you don't even partake in the worldly pleasures."

"I even suspect you are still a virgin who has never touched a woman."

Luo Yuanting's expression immediately turned cold: "You!"

"Young Master Lu, please show some self-respect; this is my private matter."

At this moment, he felt that Lu Tianyu was deliberately humiliating him.

A surge of anger rose in his heart, and he stared coldly at Lu Tianyu.

But suddenly.

Luo Yuanting felt a cold wind beside him; he subconsciously turned his head to look, and was horrified to discover that another identical Lu Tianyu was standing on his side.

At this moment, how could he not know that the Lu Tianyu from just a moment ago definitely had a problem.

But just as he raised his hand to launch a counterattack, a boom exploded in his Divine Sense Sea.

A soul pressure no weaker than the Emperor Realm enveloped his soul, making him instantly unable to move.

He saw Lu Tianyu forming seals with both hands, and a familiar hand seal was struck into his soul.

Soul Control Seal!

Lu Tianyu's cold voice came at the same time: "Luo Yuanting, obediently come to my ship, otherwise die!"

A stinging pain came from the depths of Luo Yuanting's soul: "You, you are despicable!"

"You are not Lu Tianyu at all; you are Changmei Laozu!"

He knew he was finished.

Being controlled by the Soul Control technique meant he could only obey; if he didn't, a single thought from Lu Tianyu would shatter his soul.

"You are truly stupid!"

Lu Tianyu sneered: "With my great-grandfather on the ship, would I still need you people to protect me?"

"You used my mother's reputation to trick me into going back; isn't that despicable?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuanting was greatly shocked: "What? Changmei Laozu is not on the ship? You are not Changmei Laozu?"

"Then who are you?"

His head was buzzing.

He had always thought that Changmei Laozu was still on the ship, so he had remained vigilant at all times.

But now that Lu Tianyu said Changmei Laozu was not on the ship, how could this Lu Tianyu possibly have such terrifying soul pressure?

Could it be that this brat came out of the Forbidden Abyss after being possessed by an old monster?

This possibility was very high.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Lu Tianyu to approach him silently and cast the Soul Control technique on him.

Lu Tianyu said coldly: "Don't ask about what you shouldn't know; follow me."

Whoosh!

Lu Tianyu turned and leaped onto the flying ship.

Luo Yuanting gritted his teeth until they clicked, and his eyes were instantly filled with bloodshot veins.

To have his soul controlled just like this, he was extremely unwilling.

Moreover, he did not know what awaited him next, and his heart was filled with trepidation.

However, things had reached this point, and he had no room for choice; he could only follow Lu Tianyu onto the flying boat.

Lu Tianyu took a tea table out from his storage ring, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Luo Yuanting:

"Where is my mother being held? What methods did Luo Qianqiu use on my mother?"

Luo Yuanting did not take it: "Your Bahuang Clan cannot escape this disaster; why do you still struggle?"

"I am currently controlled by you, truly..."

But before he could finish his words, he let out a miserable scream, his face turning deathly pale: "Ah!"

It felt as if his brain had been pierced by ten thousand steel needles, the pain was incomparable.

Lu Tianyu said in a deep voice: "Answer my question!"

"Luo Qianqiu is not my grandfather, do not speak nonsense."

He poured himself a cup of tea and drank it, unhurried and composed.

But Luo Yuanting knew that Lu Tianyu putting on the posture of drinking tea was for the deputy commander in front to see.

This young man's schemes were far too deep.

He took a deep breath: "Your mother is confined in a pavilion; the Sect Master likely has not made things too difficult for her."

"But the Sect Master ordered me to capture you and bring you back because he wants to obtain the secret of the Forbidden Abyss from you, and also to use you as a hostage to exchange for more resources from the Bahuang Star Domain."

"Ma Dachuan going to the Bahuang Star Domain was to use the killing of Ma Wudi to pressure the Bahuang Laozu and obtain resources."

He took a sip of tea: "That is all I know."

Lu Tianyu narrowed his eyes slightly: "In other words, taking advantage of a crisis!"

"With Luo Qianqiu's style of acting, it is impossible that he did not coerce my mother."

A sharp glint flashed in his eyes: "Luo Qianqiu, I warned you not to make things difficult for my mother; it seems you treated my words as wind past your ears!"

He looked at Luo Yuanting: "Is this clothing of yours the exclusive attire of the Xuan Yi Guard?"

Luo Yuanting was slightly stunned: "Yes, the clothes worn by ordinary disciples are different."

Looking into Lu Tianyu's deep eyes, a feeling of extreme unease rose in his heart.

A cold glint flashed in Lu Tianyu's eyes: "I will teach you the Bone-Shrinking Disguise Technique; you are to disguise yourself as Ma Dachuan."

"Have your soldiers also change into ordinary Xuanqing Sect attire, and lead them to ambush and kill the Kulu Zong cultivators besieging Bahuang!"

"You must kill at least one hundred people, then return to report to me!"
