274: Chapter 274 Attack

"Could you introduce me to those two Seniors?"

Seeing the Spirit Avatar like this, Alchemist Tang Shuo hurriedly spoke.

"Perhaps if there is a chance next time."

The Spirit Avatar had already departed, leaving only his voice echoing in Alchemist Tang Shuo's ears.

This caused the expression on Alchemist Tang Shuo's face to freeze.

When he tried to look for the Spirit Avatar, it had already vanished from his sight, its whereabouts unknown.

...

Outside Tianyun City

Li Yunfan's figure appeared here; he was alone, riding a horse as he left Tianyun City.

Since he had successfully bid for the qingxu soul refining pill, he had handed the Medicinal Pill over to Elder Xuan.

After consuming the Medicinal Pill, Elder Xuan fell into a deep slumber, and it was unknown when he would wake up.

For the time being, he would be on his own.

After replenishing his supplies, Li Yunfan left Tianyun City.

Before Elder Xuan fell asleep, they had discussed their upcoming goals and objectives.

Suddenly, Li Yunfan leaped up from his horse into the air.

In the next second, the horse was sliced in half at the torso.

Li Yunfan immediately looked toward the direction of the attack and saw a Masked Man walking quickly toward him.

Seeing this, Li Yunfan did not hesitate for a moment and immediately launched a counterattack.

A long spear appeared in Li Yunfan's hand; the spear struck like a Dragon, sweeping toward the person.

The man's moves were extremely sinister, each strike aimed at a vital point, clearly intending to take Li Yunfan's life.

This caused Li Yunfan to ponder the man's identity as they exchanged blows.

Judging from the techniques the man displayed, he could not guess his identity.

As for being an enemy?

Li Yunfan had quite a few enemies himself, but at least for now, he couldn't tell which one had sent this person to assassinate him.

"Boom..."

Invisible Qi clashed with the long spear in Li Yunfan's hand, the two forces impacting each other.

Spear Intent converged.

That explosive Spear Intent then gathered upon the long spear.

But at that moment, the man suddenly retreated.

A black pellet appeared in his hand.

It hit the ground.

Black smoke erupted from it.

Seeing the black mist, Li Yunfan also retreated quickly to widen the distance.

At the same time, he unleashed the Spear Intent in his hand, tearing through the black mist completely.

The Masked Man's figure, however, had long since vanished.

Li Yunfan did not lower his guard; his Divine Soul power spread out, scanning the entire surrounding area.

He found no presence at all.

Thereupon, he utilized his movement technique and quickly left the area.

Middle Stage of the Spirit Treasury Realm

After the exchange just now, although their clash was brief, Li Yunfan deduced that the opponent's strength was at the Middle Stage of the Spirit Treasury Realm.

Furthermore, the opponent had likely exerted his full strength.

However, Li Yunfan found it baffling as to why the opponent had suddenly retreated.

A sudden attack followed by a mysterious retreat.

This made Li Yunfan realize that there was definitely something fishy going on.

But what was it?

He didn't know.

...

"Disciples from all the major Sects have been attacked?"

Lin Ming looked at the servant before him with a hint of surprise.

"Sir, you haven't heard the news?"

The servant asked, equally surprised.

He found it strange that Lin Ming, a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain, was unaware of such an occurrence.

"I don't."

Lin Ming shook his head.

For the past few days, he had stayed cooped up in the inn, too lazy to go out, and hadn't paid attention to the news in Tianyun City.

However, what he did know was that all the Nirvana Realm experts in Tianyun City had left.

Since the conversation at the Gu Family that day, all the Nirvana Realm experts within Tianyun City had departed, leaving silently without a sound.

This included the two from the Gu Family as well.

This meant that the strongest cultivators currently overseeing Tianyun City were those of the Other Shore Realm.

Having Other Shore Realm cultivators guarding Tianyun City was sufficient.

Unless a Nirvana Realm expert were to make a move.

But did they really think Nirvana Realm experts were a dime a dozen, that several could be found anywhere?

Yet now, sudden attacks were occurring, specifically targeting the Disciples of the major Sects; that was quite interesting.

Could it be that people from the Demonic Sect had actually snuck in?

"Have the True Monarchs of the Other Shore not found the attackers?"

Lin Ming asked.

The Nirvana Ancestors were gone, but the True Monarchs of the Other Shore were still here. If even they couldn't find the culprit, they would be quite useless.

"That is unclear."

The servant shook his head.

True Monarchs of the Other Shore were not the kind of figures someone of his level could concern himself with.

"The City Lord's Manor has already issued an announcement, advising everyone to go out as little as possible."

"However, I heard that those being attacked are all Genius Disciples like yourself, sir."

The servant continued.

"I see."

Lin Ming casually tossed out another Medium Grade Essence Stone.

"Thank you, sir."

The servant excitedly accepted the Medium Grade Essence Stone.

"Senior Brother, let's stay in the inn until Revered Master returns."

Yan Nian walked over at this moment and spoke with a hint of worry.

Clearly, she had also heard the news about the Sect Disciples being attacked, and with their Revered Master away, she was a bit concerned.

"Don't worry, it's fine."

Lin Ming comforted her.

"Where is Junior Sister Su? Has she gone to the cultivation room again?"

Lin Ming asked.

"Senior Sister has been in the cultivation room and hasn't come out."

Yan Nian said.

Su Lianxue had been staying in the cultivation room without coming out; this frantic way of Cultivating made Yan Nian admire her, feeling she fell a bit short compared to Senior Sister Su.

However, she herself was not far from the Spirit Platform Realm.

"Don't become a cultivation maniac like Junior Sister Su."

Lin Ming said with a smile.

"Senior Sister is just being diligent."

Yan Nian defended Su Lianxue.

"She is diligent, perhaps a bit too diligent."

Lin Ming nodded.

He then started walking out.

"Senior Brother, where are you going?"

Seeing this, Yan Nian hurriedly asked.

Hadn't they just said that people were attacking Sect Disciples?

Yet it looked like Senior Brother was about to head out.

"Going out to buy some things."

Lin Ming waved his hand.

Staying inside all day was indeed a bit stifling; he needed to go out for a walk.

Attack him?

Lin Ming wanted to see if those people would actually attack him.

He also wanted to see who these attackers were, since even the True Monarchs of the Other Shore couldn't capture them immediately.

"Senior Brother."

Yan Nian was stunned for a moment.

It seemed Senior Brother hadn't really listened to what she just said.

Going out so casually would be very dangerous, especially since the attackers' targets were Sect Disciples like them, and since Senior Brother was a Sect Genius, he would likely become a target.

Gritting her teeth, Yan Nian followed after Lin Ming.
