275: Chapter 275 Crossing the Border? Worth a Try

"Strange."

Elder Mu Shan frowned and said.

"These people are not simple."

Bai Cheng said coldly.

"Everyone, I hope you can lend a hand."

Gu Yu said with a solemn expression.

The matter they were discussing was, naturally, the attacks on the Disciples of the various Sects.

After the Gu Family learned of this, they also attached great importance to it. Tianyun City was the Foundation of their Gu Family, and they certainly would not allow anything to go wrong in Tianyun City.

To this end, they had even dispatched several Bitter Sea Realm Immortal Masters to handle the matter.

However, the opponent was too cunning and worked so cleanly that they could not find any trace of them.

It wasn't until two Disciples of Baijue Mountain were attacked, one of whom was heavily injured, and it happened right within Tianyun City.

This was an incident involving Disciples of a top-tier Sect.

They took the matter even more seriously, and this time, they even dispatched an Other Shore level cultivator to intervene.

However, they still found nothing. Even though he covered most of the city with his Divine Thought, it was useless.

He couldn't even detect the attacks when they occurred; he only found out when someone reported them.

By the time their people arrived, the opponent had already vanished without a trace.

This made the Gu Family realize that the person acting was not simple, as they were actually able to shield themselves from his Divine Thought.

Either this person was a powerhouse of the same level as him, or even stronger.

Or the opponent had some means to block his detection.

Whichever it was, it showed that the person responsible was not simple.

Furthermore, their purpose remained unknown, as they seemed to be attacking Disciples of various Sects indiscriminately.

This point alone was enough to make the Gu Family cautious.

Disciples of these top Sects could have accidents, but they couldn't have them on their territory.

The successive attacks and incidents forced the Gu Family to seek help from these Sects.

"By the time I arrived, the person who acted had already fled."

Ning Xiuyuan said in a heavy voice.

It should be noted that the Disciples of Baijue Mountain carried means to call for help; once they encountered an enemy they couldn't defeat, they could seek help from other Baijue Mountain Disciples.

After Ning Xiuyuan sensed the Disciple's plea for help, he rushed to the scene at an extremely high speed.

But when he arrived, only the two injured Disciples remained; the person who had acted had already disappeared.

There wasn't a single trace left.

"A premeditated attack. These people have an unusual purpose."

Elder Mu Shan said in a heavy voice.

"Baijue Mountain will take charge of this matter."

Ning Xiuyuan was the first to stand up and speak.

The Disciples of his Baijue Mountain had been injured, yet the culprit could not be found, and it had happened right under his nose.

This was something Ning Xiuyuan certainly could not tolerate; it was a complete slap in the face.

"The Canghai Sword Pavilion will also pay attention to this matter."

The Canghai Sword Pavilion also participated, primarily to prevent the person behind the scenes from acting against their own Disciples; therefore, they needed some preventive measures.

"My Yongzhen Sect will also pay attention."

Elder Mu Shan also nodded.

As for Ximo Mountain, they had already left Tianyun City shortly after visiting the Gu Family.

The remaining Sects also expressed their stance, as they could not be sure if their own Disciples would be the enemy's next target.

"Thank you, everyone."

Gu Yu immediately expressed his gratitude.

With the participation of the various Sects, he believed they would soon find the fellow behind the scenes.

Once they found that person, they would not let them go.

...

Inside the cultivation room.

Su Lianxue emerged from her state of cultivation. She was now a Spirit Platform Third Heaven cultivator, only one step away—just one step away—from a Breakthrough to the Spirit Platform Fourth Heaven and stepping into the Spirit Platform Middle Stage.

Su Lianxue withdrew from her state of cultivation.

It was time to stop for a bit.

Su Lianxue then left the cultivation room and returned to the inn.

However, not long after she walked out of the inn, she could sense someone spying on her in the shadows.

Although the other party was very discreet, in Su Lianxue's eyes, she saw through them at a glance.

The person followed Su Lianxue all the way to the inn's location.

Since Su Lianxue believed that trouble and trash must be dealt with promptly, instead of entering the inn, she stopped and walked back out.

She went all the way to a relatively remote part of Tianyun City and specifically entered a somewhat dilapidated alley.

As soon as she entered, Su Lianxue spoke.

"Come out, stop hiding."

No one responded.

There was no response to Su Lianxue's words.

It was as if she were speaking to the air.

To this, Su Lianxue still maintained an expressionless face.

She pointed a finger.

The power struck out by this finger blast toward a certain direction.

Instantly, a figure appeared from the spot where the finger-strike landed, quickly dodging the attack and rapidly closing in on Su Lianxue.

A series of afterimages appeared, showing how fast they were.

Spirit Treasury Realm.

Su Lianxue also quickly judged the person's strength.

Against a Spirit Treasury Realm cultivator, she might not necessarily be a match.

But Su Lianxue still wanted to try.

Although she was only a Spirit Platform Third Heaven cultivator, now that she had this opportunity, she wanted to test her strength against them.

A trace of Frigid Power then manifested from her body.

The person had already reached Su Lianxue, and a binding force formed around her, constricting toward Su Lianxue, wanting to completely lock her down.

Su Lianxue, of course, would not just surrender like that.

That trace of Frigid Power immediately invaded the binding, gradually disintegrating it step by step.

Seeing this, the person simply gave up on the so-called binding force. With a lift of his hand, a burst of explosive Origin Qi smashed out from his palm, breaking the frigid aura.

It was aimed directly at Su Lianxue.

Su Lianxue's figure rapidly retreated, and she slowly pushed out a palm.

Faint ripples rose, like a drop of water falling onto a calm surface.

"Ssss..."

The explosive Origin Qi was blocked, held back by these ripples.

But the person's offensive did not stop there, rapidly covering Su Lianxue and giving her no chance to breathe.

And this was exactly what Su Lianxue wanted.

Regardless of the purpose of this person's attack, since they had come to her, she would take this opportunity to test herself.

Since she had switched to this Cultivation Technique, she hadn't had a chance to test her strength.

A Spirit Treasury Realm opponent was perfect for a trial.

A hint of coldness appeared in her eyes.

As she raised her hand, the surrounding temperature also dropped significantly in an instant.

"Boom..."

The entire alley was covered by the sound of this explosion, and the surrounding walls also collapsed directly, turning into powder.
