Chapter 986 Mysterious Messenger
Chapter 986 Mysterious Messenger
In Qingyun Fairy City, in the Cao family compound, in an ancient and elegant hall, Cao Wangde stood respectfully in the center of the hall, facing the head of the Cao family, Cao Mingxuan, who was sitting high in the main seat.
Just as the two were talking, a slight spatial distortion suddenly occurred quietly in a corner of the hall, as if the space itself was torn apart.
Then, a figure slowly emerged from it.
"Is this...space teleportation?"
There was disbelief in Cao Wangde's voice. He had never thought that someone would dare to break into Cao's residence so blatantly.
As soon as he thought of this, Cao Wangde's aura of an early celestial being burst out instantly, and then he instinctively stood in front of Cao Mingxuan, and then looked at the newcomer as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
As the figure fully appeared, the two of them could see clearly what the person looked like.
The person who came was a man about thirty years old, with a figure as straight as a pine tree, a handsome and stern face, and an aura of majesty that came from his sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes.
His skin was so white that it was almost transparent, as if he was born with a faint glow.
Her long black hair was casually draped over her shoulders, with a few strands of hair gently falling on her dark purple robe, which was embroidered with silver cloud patterns.
Every step seemed to be stepping on the void, surrounded by a faint purple light, giving people an unreal feeling.
The appearance of the visitor seemed to lower the temperature of the whole room a bit. An invisible pressure enveloped the room, which made people feel awed.
"May I ask what you are doing here and why you are barging into my Cao family?"
Cao Mingxuan asked with a frown. Although he couldn't see a person's cultivation level, as the head of the family, he still had the bearing of fearlessness in the face of danger. His voice seemed particularly abrupt in this silent hall.
The visitor looked Cao Mingxuan up and down, then glanced at Cao Wangde who was sacrificing his life to protect his master, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes, and then he said lightly:
"Are you Cao Mingxuan, the current head of the Cao family?"
When Cao Mingxuan heard the other party say his name, he was even more confused, and then he bowed and said respectfully:
"I am the Immortal. May I ask what advice you have for me? My Cao family will do our best to help."
Before figuring out whether the other party was an enemy or a friend, Cao Mingxuan tried his best to remain polite.
Seeing this, the visitor smiled slightly. That smile was neither mocking nor contemptuous. Instead, he said with a detached attitude:
"I am from the Purple Sky Palace in the Thirty-three Heavens. My surname is Murong Huayu. I am here to carry out orders.
I hope your Cao family will fully cooperate with me to find a cultivator with the power of origin. If you can successfully find him, there will be a generous reward. "
After saying this, Murong Huayu took out a token that emitted a soft glow from his sleeve, shook it gently, and said:
"I guess Patriarch Cao should know what this means, right?"
Cao Mingxuan's eyes fell on the token. In an instant, his expression turned extremely ugly, but then he quickly regained his composure and said with an almost pious and respectful attitude:
"It turns out that you are the special envoy from Zixiao Palace. I am so sorry for your disrespect."
His tone was full of apology and respect, "Since Your Majesty has given the order, our Cao family will do our best, even if it means going through fire and water.
However, there are many people in Qingyun Realm, and there are quite a few lower realm masters who possess the power of origin. I wonder if Your Excellency has any other requests? How much time will you give us?"
After hearing this, Murong Huayu pondered for a moment and said:
"It doesn't matter. All those who possess the power of origin should be captured. It would be best if they were cultivators who ascended within the past six months and are no older than 200 years old."
When Cao Wangde heard this, Lu Chen's figure immediately appeared in his mind, so he looked at Cao Mingxuan and said tentatively:
"Master, I do know someone who fits the description given by the Special Envoy very well."
Cao Mingxuan's heart moved, and he asked, "Oh? Who are you talking about?"
Upon hearing this, Murong Huayu also looked at Cao Wangde expectantly.
Upon seeing this, Cao Wangde immediately told the story of how he had fought with Lu Chen, the fifth-grade immortal pill master of the Yunyou Gang, over the matter of the Diyang Pill.
At the same time, it shows that Lu Chen's magic contains the power of origin.
Murong Huayu heard this, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He asked, "Really? Are you sure?"
"It's absolutely true!" Cao Wangde affirmed.
"Okay! In that case, you keep a close eye on this man and bring him to me as soon as possible."
Murong Huayu didn't expect that he had found his target as soon as he arrived. His mood instantly improved and he couldn't wait to speak.
Next, Cao Mingxuan personally ordered to use the Cao family's network of relationships at all costs to find Lu Chen's whereabouts...
On the other hand, after Lu Chen killed the beautiful woman in purple, he teleported with Yunxi, who was still injured, to an unknown mountain.
Lu Chen gently put Yunxi down, and then asked with concern:
"Miss Yunxi, how do you feel?"
Although Yunxi's face was a little pale, after practicing for most of the day, she had obviously gotten much better. However, the mysterious energy in her body had not yet been removed from her body.
Then she forced a smile:
"Thank you for your concern, Brother Lu. I am much better now."
Although her voice was weak, her eyes were full of gratitude. "If you weren't here this time, I really don't know what I would have done."
In fact, Yunxi really wanted to ask Lu Chen how he recovered so quickly, but considering that this might be related to the other party's secret, Yunxi gave up the idea.
Lu Chen nodded, then turned and looked into the distance, with a lot of thoughts in his mind.
Just as the two were chatting, suddenly, a blue figure streaked across the sky like a meteor and landed in front of them in the blink of an eye.
The person who came was Lan Caiyi. She walked in the air, her figure as light as a feather.
Seeing Lu Chen and Yunxi, she immediately said anxiously:
"Junior Brother Lu, I finally found you. I got the news from the sect that you are now wanted by the Lord of the Sun Never Sets Immortal City.
So I came to find you on purpose, hoping that you could go back to Yuhua Sect with me, so that the sect can give you the corresponding protection."
Lu Chen didn't expect that Lan Caiyi would come to find him specially, and a warm feeling suddenly arose in his heart.
However, Lu Chen still shook his head and said:
"Sister Lan, thank you for your kindness, but I won't go back. Ever since I refined a thousand talismans for the sect last time, I've been tired of this kind of life. I don't want to be a slave and let others manipulate me anymore."
Lan Caiyi was stunned for a moment, obviously she didn't expect Lu Chen to say that. "But...it's too dangerous outside, especially now that you're being targeted by the lord of a city."
"Sister, I have my own way. Although I don't want to go back for the time being, I am still a disciple of Yuhua Sect.
What's more, I now have new plans and goals that I must achieve as soon as possible, so please stop trying to persuade me, Senior Sister."
Lu Chen said with a firm look.
Yunxi listened from the side, looking at Lu Chen curiously from time to time.
At this time, Lu Chen glanced at Yunxi, and the latter turned her head away in panic, and then heard:
"Senior sister, this is a friend I met. Her name is Yunxi. Could you please take her back to the sect to heal her? That way I can feel more at ease."
Lan Caiyi glanced at Yunxi, then sighed and said:
"Well, since you insist, I can't force you. However, if you encounter any difficulties, remember to contact me at any time. No matter what, we are from the same school, and I will never stand by and watch someone die."
"I certainly will." Lu Chen said gratefully.
However, just when Lan Caiyi was about to take Yunxi away, something strange happened!
Suddenly, there was a sharp sound of breaking wind, and then more than a dozen black shadows came in the air like ghosts at an astonishing speed.
In a flash, these figures descended upon the heads of Lu Chen and the others like a violent storm.
Then they quickly dispersed, forming an airtight encirclement that trapped them in the middle.
Lu Chen looked up, his heart sank, and his expression instantly became extremely ugly.
It turned out that among these unexpected guests, there was not only the silver-robed monk who had been beaten and fled by him before and had the cultivation base of the initial stage of the Xuanxian realm,
There is also the unfathomable strength of Li Anxuan, the lord of the Sun Never Sets Immortal City! This person's cultivation has reached the late stage of the Xuanxian Realm, and he is a well-deserved giant.
Looking at the rest of the people, they must be the lackeys of Li Anxuan. Judging from the aura they exude,
This group of people included powerful warriors in the early stage of Xuanxian Realm who were at the same level as the silver-robed monk, as well as top masters in the late stage of Tianxian Realm. Even the one with the lowest cultivation level had the impressive strength of the early stage of Tianxian Realm.
Faced with such a powerful lineup, Lu Chen suddenly felt the pressure as heavy as a mountain, and a deep feeling of powerlessness surged in his heart.
There is no doubt that the silver-robed monk must have fled in a panic and reluctantly called for reinforcements, and informed Li Anxuan, which led to the current difficult situation.
However, the only thing that puzzled Lu Chen was how the other party found him...
