Yang Qiu!
Elder of the Nine Nether Demon Sect!
Within the Nine Nether Demon Sect, he wasn't just a figure of power; he was a person with absolute authority, akin to a saying of weight, and in his youth, he had even competed for the position of the Saint Son of the sect.
Though he lost, his strength had never been underestimated by anyone.
"A thousand years without stepping foot in the mortal world, have the people already forgotten my name and power?"
A raging fire of anger surged within Yang Qiu's chest, like a volcano ready to erupt. The terrifying demonic aura enveloped a radius of a hundred miles, transforming the area into a demonic domain.
"Someone actually dares to kill my beloved disciple?!"
"Whoever you are, I will make sure to avenge this!"
Yang Qiu extended his hand.
The void below twisted, and a strand of sword intent was pulled out by him.
The sword intent was faint and fragile.
In his palm, it flickered like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
"Da Luo Sword Sect!"
Seeing the sword intent in his hand, Yang Qiu's eyes grew colder.
His five fingers clenched down.
With a loud boom, the sword intent was crushed into nothingness.
Then.
Yang Qiu's eyes opened and closed, his cold gaze sweeping through the void. Soon, he pinpointed a direction.
"Has it fled to Great Wasteland City?"
On the other side.
Liu Chengxue was frantic.
She sensed the demonic aura behind her, and its master was definitely a Saint Lord-level figure.
Such a person.
Their strength was terrifying beyond measure.
She was not someone who could contend with them.
If the other party wanted to kill her, just a thought would be enough, no need for any physical action.
Even five hundred miles away, she felt like a thorn in her back.
This distance.
To a Saint Lord-level person, it might as well be nonexistent; they could cover it in the blink of an eye.
Fortunately.
She had already entered Great Wasteland City.
The Heavenly Mechanism Tower.
It was close at hand.
"Senior, Senior!"
Liu Chengxue rushed into the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, crying out loudly.
"Back already?"
In the main hall of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, Li Yun was lying lazily on a bench, holding a engrossed in reading as if he hadn't changed his posture for the past two hours.
He showed no surprise at Liu Chengxue's arrival.
"Did you know I was coming back, Senior?"
Liu Chengxue was overjoyed.
As expected of a Senior!
Everything was already anticipated by him. Perhaps, Senior had already foreseen her return!
Seeing Li Yun's calm demeanor, Liu Chengxue's previously anxious heart finally settled. The fact that he didn't immediately throw her out conveyed an attitude.
He was going to protect her!
"Besides Great Wasteland City, where else can you go?"
Li Yun casually turned a page of the and said lightly.
Although.
His current strength wasn't very high, and his knowledge of the cultivation world wasn't extensive, he could easily deduce that Liu Chengxue, a young genius, was absolutely no match for Du Qianshang's master.
Even though some geniuses could challenge opponents of higher ranks, they couldn't challenge too many levels. More importantly, Liu Chengxue clearly wasn't the kind of genius that defied the heavens.
She could only be considered a talented person, with a long way to go before reaching the level of a monstrous genius.
Otherwise.
She wouldn't only be a third disciple.
From all angles, Liu Chengxue, facing Du Qianshang's master, would have no chance of survival.
As long as Liu Chengxue wasn't foolish, she should know that Great Wasteland City was her only option.
And the situation was unfolding just as Li Yun had predicted.
"Please, Senior, save me, and afterwards, Da Luo Sword Sect will surely offer great rewards!"
Liu Chengxue said respectfully.
It was one thing if the Senior was willing to act, but her own attitude was another matter.
If she showed no attitude at all.
Such an approach would be quite disheartening, and might even anger the Senior.
"It's nothing," Li Yun said, looking at Liu Chengxue with satisfaction. He thought to himself: Liu Chengxue is on the right track.
"As long as you stay inside the Heavenly Mechanism Tower, I'll ensure your safety."
"Thank you, Senior!"
Liu Chengxue was overjoyed.
"Don't get too happy too soon..."
Li Yun closed the looked at her, and spoke.
"I have one request."
"May I ask what the Senior's request is?"
Liu Chengxue was taken aback.
"Let your master come and take you back."
Li Yun casually said.
Liu Chengxue's status was still a bit low; she was just a young genius. Using her to raise the name of the Heavenly Mechanism Tower would be too slow and difficult.
But her master was different.
The Sect Master of Da Luo Sword Sect!
As long as he came, Li Yun was confident that with just a few words, he could earn countless Heavenly Mechanism points!
He believed.
Given Liu Chengxue's status as a third disciple, it should be enough for the Sect Master of Da Luo Sword Sect to make a personal visit.
"Ah?"
Liu Chengxue's face turned pale.
It felt like being called to the principal's office after making a mistake at school.
"Wh... why?"
Liu Chengxue weakly asked.
"Have you forgotten what the Heavenly Mechanism Tower is for?"
Li Yun rolled up the in his hand, pointed to the door, and said, "This is a place of business."
"Before, when you bought information about Du Qianshang from me, that was a transaction."
"Today..."
"I'm saving your life, so this too is a transaction. When your master arrives, our dealings will be settled."
"Junior... I understand..."
Liu Chengxue bit her lips and nodded slightly.
She took out a jade slip from her storage ring, input a message, and quickly sent it out.
After the message was sent.
For some reason.
A sense of unease rose in Liu Chengxue's heart.
It seemed.
After her master arrived, something bad might happen.
