749. Chapter 747: She Disappeared?

Here there is no battle or chaos, only peace and tranquility.

Lu Yuan sighed in relief and looked around.

He suggested, "Let's find a place to rest first."

Feng Tianfeng nodded in agreement.

Then the two found a hidden and comfortable spot under a big tree and sat down.

Lu Yuan cupped his face with both hands, sinking into thought.

He pondered the recent battle, considering how to respond next.

"Lu Yuan, are you worried about Su Liyan?"

Feng Tianfeng looked at Lu Yuan and asked softly.

Lu Yuan raised his head, smiling as he shook his head.

"She is a strong girl; I believe she will be safe."

Feng Tianfeng gazed into the distance, brows slightly furrowed.

"However, this duel is a great trial for everyone."

"Look at those cultivators who just returned; they look listless, and I don't know if they have the ability to continue fighting."

Lu Yuan took a deep breath.

"We must make a plan for ourselves; we can no longer act blindly."

He said calmly.

Feng Tianfeng nodded, "You're right."

"We need to concentrate our strength, find more teammates who can complement us; only then can we increase our power."

As the two were talking, a thunderous roar like thunder echoed across the ruins. Both immediately stood up and vigilantly scanned their surroundings.

A figure gradually emerged from the distance.

It was Zi Xi'er, panting as she walked toward Lu Yuan.

"Zi Xi'er, what happened?"

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng hurried forward to ask.

Zi Xi'er said anxiously, "Lu Yuan, Su Liyan has disappeared!"

Hearing this news, both Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng were shocked.

"How is that possible? We clearly saw her just a moment ago."

Zi Xi'er grabbed Lu Yuan's hand, "I don't know what happened either."

"Suddenly, Su Liyan vanished. I searched the entire ruins but couldn't find her."

Lu Yuan furrowed his brows, "We must find her as soon as possible."

He clenched his fists, "No matter what happens, I will never let anyone harm her."

After several months, the exploration activity ended, and the team returned to Nanzhen.

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng, whose wounds had gradually healed, came to Lei Huo Dan Ge with their gains and losses in mind.

They handed over all the treasures they had obtained in the ruins to Lu Yuan's sect in Heavenly Wind City, the Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect.

Lu Yuan's face bore a hint of apology, for he had not personally participated in the exploration activity but had chosen to temporarily withdraw from the battlefield.

Although he deeply knew that this exploration was a great trial for everyone, he believed that for himself, observing the situation from outside could also lead to better decisions.

However, there has always been someone on his mind, and at this moment that person is missing.

Su Liyan, who vanished without a trace in that chaos.

Zi Xi'er anxiously sought help from Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng, hoping to find her.

"We must find Su Liyan as soon as possible."

Lu Yuan said firmly, "After all, she is just an ordinary person; it's hard for her to withstand such powerful energy fluctuations."

Feng Tianfeng tightly gripped Lu Yuan's hand, "Don't worry, she is a strong girl; she will definitely be safe."

Zi Xi'er also joined their discussion, "I will also do my utmost to help you find Su Liyan."

The team decided to organize an operation to locate Su Liyan's whereabouts.

They compiled the intelligence they had previously obtained and ultimately inferred that Su Liyan might have been abducted by some force, with an unknown motive.

To obtain more information, they decided to seek aid from the Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect.

Hong Lietian and others, having performed outstandingly in the exploration activity, have already become outer disciples of the Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect and have been valued.

They hope to leverage the strength of these outer disciples to gain more clues about the mystery of Su Liyan's disappearance.

The Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect is one of the largest and strongest sects in the Nanzhen region, possessing abundant and long-standing cultivation resources.

Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng brought Zi Xi'er to the outer disciples' hall of the Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect.

Hong Lietian and others were already waiting there, their faces filled with heroic spirit and pride.

Upon seeing Lu Yuan's group, Hong Lietian stepped forward and respectfully bowed, saying, "Master Lu Yuan, Senior Sister Feng, Junior Sister Zi Xi'er, welcome back."

"This exploration activity went very smoothly; besides gaining abundant treasures, we also smoothly became outer disciples of the Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect."

Feng Tianfeng smiled and patted Hong Lietian on the shoulder, "Congratulations!"

"As expected of disciples of our Lei Huo Dan Ge."

Lu Yuan said solemnly, "Being able to become outer disciples of the Nanzhen Profound Heaven Sect is the result of your years of cultivation and effort; it is worthy of pride."

"Now we face an emergency: Su Liyan has gone missing."

"We need your help to find her."

Upon hearing this, Hong Lietian and others' expressions turned solemn, and they all expressed their willingness to help Lu Yuan's group with all their strength.

They knew that Su Liyan played a special and important role in Lu Yuan's heart.

The elders of the Nanxuan Profound Heaven Sect, upon hearing the news, also expressed concern and gave Lu Yuan's group their fullest support.

They decided to send some elite disciples to form a search team to help Lu Yuan and his companions find Su Liyan.

A search team led by Hong Lietian and others was quickly assembled; they immediately set out and began searching in Nanxuan City and its surrounding areas.

Lu Yuan, Feng Tianfeng, and Zi Xi'er remained at the Nanxuan Profound Heaven Sect, continuing to wait for news.

Day after day, Lu Yuan could not calm his cultivation, constantly worrying about Su Liyan's safety.

When he sat in idle meditation, he couldn't help recalling every moment he shared with Su Liyan.

They went from being strangers at first to gradually building trust and tacit understanding.

Although they were only a fake couple, during this time they had developed deep feelings.

"Su Liyan must be safe." Lu Yuan prayed silently.

Finally, after several days, Hong Lietian returned in the evening with good news.

They found traces of Su Liyan in the western suburbs of Nanxuan City; according to Hong Lietian's description, Su Liyan had once appeared there with a group of mysterious people.

Upon hearing the news, Lu Yuan and Feng Tianfeng immediately headed to the western suburbs.

In a desolate desert, they found the place where Su Liyan had gone missing.

Powerful immortal energy lingered around, and a sense of danger and conspiracy permeated the area.

"This place once had a teleportation array."

Lu Yuan focused his senses on the surrounding energy flow, "It seems someone used the teleportation array to take Su Liyan away from here."

Feng Tianfeng frowned in thought, "Where could the destination of the teleportation array be?"

"Why would they kidnap Su Liyan?"

Zi Xi'er gripped the Cold Jade Ice Shard, a determined look flashing in her eyes, "No matter what, we must find her."

"We have already obtained a clue; now it's just a matter of time and patience." (End of chapter)
