For such a sudden turn of events, Qin Wushuang and his friends proved to be helpless in the face of this crisis. Even the Second Chief, Qin Yunran who was at the Eighth Coagulate Spirit appeared helpless under the entanglement of these blue ropes.
These blue invisible ropes were exceptional for they showed to have astonishing power. As Qin Yunran tried to free himself a number of times, he discovered that the power used by this invisible rope was more powerful than what he could muster. It was of no use to struggle for freedom.
He shot a glance from the corner of his eyes and saw that the young men were all struggling feverishly. Only, Qin Wushuang wore a strange expression and did not try to escape. Instead, he looked towards the direction of Qin Yunran.
Clearly, Qin Wushuang also felt that if the Second Chief could not get out of this rope, most likely it would be useless no matter how strong Qin Wushuang was: he could not be more powerful than Qin Yunran.
Upon seeing Qin Hao still struggling with full force and with his face already thoroughly red, he immediately shouted, “Qin Hao, calm down, don’t struggle!”
Qin Yunran’s imminent shout was like pouring a bucket of cold water onto the head of these people. Instantly, it cleared their heads.
Qin Hao panted heavily, his pupils contracted at a rapid speed. He yelled like a wild animal, “Chief, what is going on?”
Qin Yunran shook his head. “This blue light is extremely powerful. It’s definitely the divine skill of the Transformation Supreme Dao. I cannot even break free. You should conserve your strength and don’t do any further unnecessary struggling.”
When he said this, Qin Yunran gave Qin Wushuang an appreciated look. Inwardly, he valued Qin Wushuang’s undisturbed state even more. However, per their current crisis and despite Qin Wushuang’s innate abilities, it would be unknown whether he could pass today’s calamity.
“Everyone don’t panic, if this Immortal Leaf Flying Boat belongs to the Karakorum Immortal Clan, they would not have spent so much trouble if they wanted to harm us.”
Qin Wushuang comforted everyone this way, but he was only speculating based on rationality. By the speculation of common sense, if the Karakorum Immortal Clan were to deal with the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates, it would not have gone through this amount of trouble.
Just as he was talking, a flash even more dazzling suddenly shot from the roof towards the direction of Qin Yunran. This flash of light covered Qin Yunran’s entire body. Acting like a burst of extreme tyrannical power, it pulled him instantly. Unable to restrain himself, Qin Yunran was pulled and disappeared with this flash of light.
“No!” Qin Hongyan, who was the closest to Qin Yunran shouted hoarsely when he saw this scene. Fear filled his eyes.
At a speed that did not allow them any time to react, another ball of light shot down again. This time, Qin Hongyan was pulled out directly. With the dash of the lights, he shot out of the Immortal Leaf Flying Boat and disappeared among the boundless clouds. No one knew where he was sent off to.
Yet, this Immortal Leaf Flying Boat was still flying at a high speed.
“This… What is going on?” Qin Hao’s lip shivered uncontrollably. Now, he was extremely nervous as he muttered, “Second Chief, is gone just like that?”
Qin Wushuang exchanged a glance with Qin Taichong and they saw a trace of fear from each other’s eyes. If there was nothing the Second Chief could do, then this situation was not something they could control.
“Don’t worry everyone, Heaven helps the worthy, the Second Chief will surely be fine.” Although Qin Wushuang did not understand the skill of judging people, the Second Chief did not look like someone that would be met with unexpected disaster.
“Brother Wushuang is right, regardless of our enemy, everyone must stay alive!” Qin Taichong shouted, “Regardless of who makes it out alive, you must go to the Karakorum Immortal Clan and file a complaint before the five great totem clans! Remember!”
Qin Zhining nodded. “We must live, we must!”
As they were talking, another flash of light shot from the top exactly as before. This time, it was Senior Brother Qin Taichong who was taken.
Qin Hao was ashen-faced and could only swear continuously. He knew that he could not struggle as he said with a depressed face, “If I had known there would be this type of danger, I would not have come.”
Qin Zhining gave a long sigh and shot a glance at Qin Wushuang. “Junior Brother Wushuang, if you stay alive, you must remember Head Senior Brother’s instructions.”
Now, Qin Wushuang was also sullen in which he could not voice his opinion. This unexpected accident had happened too abruptly, he was unable to digest the whole incident. This Immortal Leaf Flying Boat seemed to not be stopping as it continued to fly forward at a swift speed.
A miserable shriek had sounded and with a flash of light, Qin Hao had disappeared from the flying boat as well. When Qin Wushuang shot a glance at the angle of where the light had disappeared, he muttered, “The mechanism inside this flying boat seems to be separating us on purpose. Each time the angles are different, what does this mean?”
Qin Zhining said with a bitter smile, “Hopefully you and me can stay alive to get the answer.”
Just when Qin Wushuang was about to speak, suddenly he saw the expression of Qin Zhining had changed as he stared at the top of his head. Immediately, Qin Wushuang knew that something was wrong. When he raised his head to look, a burst of light dropped down and as if his entire body had been petrified, he was pulled out by this light without being able to move a finger.
Boom!
He was thrown out of the ship and into the boundless cloudy sky. Apparently, this power was incredibly outrageous as it supported Qin Wushuang to fly at an unbelievable angle.
One could not tell how long he was flying for as this force gradually slowed down. Qin Wushuang moved slightly and realized that he had resumed his flexibility. Without thinking, he unleashed the Purple Cloud Ying Yang Wings and waved his wings to get out of the control of that power. Then, he galloped within the sky.
Now, the sky had become dim and gradually, it was dusk. Qin Wushuang looked down at this boundless earth. The ups and downs of the mountain range revealed an incredibly arduous terrain.
In between the mountain ranges, mountain streams and creeks flowed and wrapped around as if they wore jade belts.
Qin Wushuang dropped from the clouds for he did not wish to get lost among the clouds. Therefore, he decided to find the proper way. It would be better than charging chaotically like headless flies.
“This Immortal Leaf Flying Boat, just why is it so strange? It seems to be more like a prank, but I just don’t know how the others are doing?”
Qin Wushuang pondered for a moment and knew that it would be useless to be worried. He decided that after finding his way, he would make his way towards the Karakorum Immortal Clan. Regardless, he must get to the bottom of this.
He dropped into the mountains and fields to find a remote mountain cave to rest in for the night. After Qin Wushuang had regained his undisturbed state, he organized his thoughts. Unconsciously, the sky had become light once again.
Qin Wushuang opened his eyes and felt the morning sun of the Illusion Heavenly Lake. Inwardly, he was becoming slightly reassured.
Upon having organized it from the beginning to end, Qin Wushuang felt his intuition was correct. At that moment, they should not have entered that Immortal Leaf Flying Boat. Although Lu Yixiao had appeared to be harmless, Qin Wushuang had found that something was strange with him. Now, it seems most likely this incident was schemed by Lu Yixiao.
“I just don’t know which divine figure that Lu Yixiao was…” Qin Wushuang was curious in his head. However, he knew that it would be useless for him to ponder here for he would not acquire any answers.
Just when Qin Wushuang was about to step out of the mountain cave, suddenly, he remembered something. He stepped back and put on the Heart Illusion Mask. Then, he pull out another set of clothing from the storage ring. When he changed into it, he became a completely different person.
This was not Qin Wushuang been overly careful, but he was considering there may be more unexpected situations to follow. If that Immortal Leaf Flying Boat belonged to the Karakorum Immortal Clan, certainly they would not have made a move against the Qin Clan only. Surely each of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates had their share. This way, most likely people of the Heavenly Emperor Eight Gates had been separated.
In this case, those with bad luck may have met people of the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect. If it were just ordinary core disciples, Qin Wushuang would not fear them.
However, for the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect, they were all led by Supreme Dao warriors. Regardless of fighting Lei Ming or Yan Guinan, they were not people Qin Wushuang could deal with.
Although Qin Wushuang was confident, he would not be blindly optimistic. For Supreme Dao warriors, even those at the First Calamity Coagulate Spirit level, would not be moved by someone of his level.
…
Deep inside a mountain valley of the Illusion Heavenly Lake, two young men extended their heads from the lush forest. One of them said, “Senior Brother Luo Yi, this should be the exterior side of the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, right?”
“Yes, per the map, it should be the Ten Thousand Flower Valley.” The young man nodded and appeared to be highly capable. He observed the movements of all directions with alertness and said, “Hopefully Fourth Dao Warrior will come soon.”
“Come soon? It wouldn’t be very good for him to come too soon though, right? The Ten Thousand Year Pilgrimage Pageant has started before the elite warriors of each sect have left, we don’t have much chance.”
“This is the so-called seeking riches and prosperity from danger. Do you think that just the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect has acquired the information? Certainly the other powerhouses would have responded instantly. We must be early to get that thin!” Luo Yi showed a determined expression and revealed the manner of how honor does not allow one to glance back. “If the Fourth Dao Warrior does not make it on time, I will enter the Ten Thousand Flower Valley first!”
“Brother Luo Yi, you better not act recklessly.” The expression of Luo Zhong had changed.
“Junior Brother Luo Zhong, why are we here so early to conceal ourselves here? Are we to just wait? There is no time to lose! If the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sects are to walk out of this crisis, we must succeed this time. If we fail, we will not have another chance to turn the table! If the Qin Clan regains their power, they would deal with the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect first. Don’t look at how the Heavenly Punishing Villa and the Sound of Thunder Sect is treating us well. It’s because they are carrying hope of our Head Dao Warrior breaking into the Supreme Dao Stage. However, there are no signs of progress from the Head Dao. Once he fails their expectations, these two powerhouses are famous for breaking faith and abandoning hope. It would not be an accident if they are to abandon the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect!”
Luo Yi was initially the young man who went to find trouble with Lu Xianlou at the Danxia prefecture. At the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect, his talent and strength was only lesser than Luo Ting.
Now with Luo Ting dead, being one of the few exceptional young men, he was seen as the future heir for the Heavenly Luo Daoist Sect.
Therefore, Luo Yi was in a rush to show himself. He wanted to not be one of the heirs, but become the only one! In other words, he was carrying a goal and aspiration to be the heir of the Head Dao Warrior!
Becoming the heir of other Dao Warriors would no longer satisfy his ambition. He knew that in order to stand out, he must win against other competitors. Therefore, for this trip to the Ten Thousand Flower Valley, he had volunteered. Although it was full of danger and potentially a narrow escape, he still came as he was undaunted by dangers.
One would need more than just courage, but wit and power to run across the border into the territory of the Illusion Heavenly Lake! At the Xuan Yuan Mound, when you go to other people’s territory, perhaps you might encounter some fluke. However, when at other Forbidden Spiritual Zones, it would undoubtedly be death if you got yourself into trouble!
