384: Chapter 384 Su Lianxue's Pursuit
Within the Sea Clan, a Nirvana Ancestor personally took action, wanting to eradicate him.
However, it was unknown what method he used to escape.
The term "Water Soul Demon" was coined by this Old Ancestor.
After escaping from the hands of that Nirvana Ancestor, the Water Soul Demon remained silent for a hundred years.
A hundred years later, he appeared once again in the deep sea, hunting all living beings, including the Human Race.
Until now, it could be said that for the Sea Clan, he was a massive threat.
For the Human Race, his threat was limited to the deep sea.
And the name "You Lan" was a title he gave himself.
But now, learning from Revered Master's words, this deep-sea ghost had actually left the deep sea and arrived on land.
Senior Sister Cui Mingxi's first reaction was disbelief.
"It is him."
True Monarch Lu Zhixing said.
"Two months ago, after You Lan took action at Huaqing Pavilion, he was discovered by Li Zhiting. The two fought, and when I arrived, I only caught a glimpse of You Lan before he escaped."
"Li Zhiting? Isn't she..."
Senior Sister Cui Mingxi asked, puzzled.
"The Bitter Sea Realm is just what she wants you to see."
True Monarch Lu Zhixing said.
His own Disciple was still too naive at times and needed to be properly tempered.
"Then why did True Monarch You Lan come ashore, only to kill these few people in Dongchao City?"
Senior Sister Cui Mingxi immediately brought the conversation back to You Lan.
Why would True Monarch You Lan come ashore?
And since coming ashore, he had only killed a few people in Dongchao City?
One had to know that if a powerhouse of this level were to go on a killing spree in Dongchao City, Dongchao City would be annihilated in an instant.
Yet he had only killed a few people.
There was likely some trickery behind this.
And she finally understood why Revered Master had not informed her of You Lan's appearance.
Facing a powerhouse of this level, even if she were told, there was nothing she could do, and it would only add to her troubles.
"I do not know."
True Monarch Lu Zhixing shook his head.
They still did not know what You Lan's purpose was.
And his methods of escape and concealment were extremely sophisticated, to the point that he had only seen him once.
Just a moment ago, he had indeed detected his tracks, but only slightly.
He ran too fast.
This was also the reason True Monarch Lu Zhixing felt it was troublesome.
You Lan's purpose was definitely not simple.
"Leave this matter to me; you should not get involved."
True Monarch Lu Zhixing emphasized again.
On one hand, it was because his Disciple getting involved would be of no use.
On the other hand, he was worried that if she accidentally provoked You Lan, it would be troublesome.
"I understand."
Senior Sister Cui Mingxi now understood the seriousness of the situation.
A True Monarch of the Other Shore, and one who could escape from the hands of a Nirvana Ancestor at that—it was enough to show how great a threat he was.
"Additionally, keep an eye on a girl named Xiao Yun at Huaqing Pavilion."
True Monarch Lu Zhixing said.
"Miss Xiao Yun?"
"That's right. It is highly likely that these Sea Clans are looking for her."
True Monarch Lu Zhixing said.
"Mm."
Senior Sister Cui Mingxi nodded.
Matters involving these Sea Clans indeed had to be treated with caution.
Especially these days, she knew that the war between the Sea Demon Python and the Phantom Nether Clan was becoming increasingly intense.
The clashes between the Merfolk Clan and the Cover-Sea Shark Clan were the same.
Yet these Sea Clans had actually specially spared manpower to find one person; there must be some issue involved.
As for this person named Xiao Yun, True Monarch Lu Zhixing had gone to see her before.
She was just an ordinary human, with nothing unusual about her.
That was precisely where the problem lay.
...
"Fellow Daoist Su, please accept my challenge."
Huaqing Pavilion.
A rather handsome man was seen, with a serious expression, speaking to Su Lianxue.
"And who might this be?"
On the seventh-floor corridor.
Lin Ming and Su Lianxue were looking down at this scene from above.
This person was wearing the attire of the Canghai Sword Pavilion, evidently a Disciple of the Canghai Sword Pavilion.
"Liang Yan from the Canghai Sword Pavilion. We met him when we were at the Yunhai Chamber of Commerce. As soon as this person saw Junior Sister Su, he began pursuing her, but Junior Sister Su ignored him."
"This Liang Yan likely knows Junior Sister Su's true appearance."
Yu Yaoqin said.
Every time Su Lianxue left the Sect, she would disguise her appearance, disguising her features as those of an ordinary Disciple.
But this did not mean outsiders did not know Su Lianxue's true appearance. Her peerlessly beautiful face had long since spread throughout Yuanxu Mountain and had spread out from Yuanxu Mountain as well.
Her appearance had long been copied and spread throughout the cultivation world.
Coupled with Su Lianxue's terrifying Aptitude.
Consequently, many people in the cultivation world knew that a peerlessly beautiful Prodigy with terrifying Aptitude had appeared at Yuanxu Mountain.
Su Lianxue's reputation was even greater than Lin Ming's.
Therefore, it was not strange that someone knew Su Lianxue's true appearance.
This Liang Yan had likely recognized Yu Yaoqin, after all, Yu Yaoqin had not disguised herself.
And then, from the conversation between Yu Yaoqin and Su Lianxue, he had confirmed Su Lianxue's identity and began pursuing her.
It was just that Su Lianxue was completely uninterested in this.
But this person was very persistent; he likely found out where they were staying from somewhere and pursued them all the way here.
And this time, he wanted to conquer Su Lianxue with his own strength.
"Do you think Junior Sister Su will accept his challenge?"
Lin Ming asked.
"How would I know?"
Yu Yaoqin shook her head.
"That question should be directed at you, Senior Brother."
Yu Yaoqin asked back.
"We'll know if we keep watching."
Lin Ming said with a smile.
"Tch."
Yu Yaoqin said.
"Now."
Su Lianxue looked at Liang Yan with a calm expression and said.
"Fine, the Dongchao City martial arts arena."
A trace of excitement flashed in Liang Yan's eyes.
His thinking was very simple: since Su Lianxue had rejected his request, he would conquer Su Lianxue with his own strength.
He was a Spirit Treasury seventh-level Sword Cultivator; although he was not in the most Genius tier at the Canghai Sword Pavilion, he was in the second tier.
Although his age had long exceeded a hundred years, in his view, these were not major issues.
He believed that conquering Su Lianxue with his own strength would not be a big problem.
"Fine."
Immediately after, the two headed to the martial arts arena together.
At the same time, they also took away a group of people—a group of onlookers.
Liang Yan, in his Canghai Sword Pavilion attire, was naturally recognized.
As for Su Lianxue, they guessed she was a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain.
They had heard Lin Ming address her as Junior Sister.
Nine times out of ten, she was likely a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain.
A Disciple of the Canghai Sword Pavilion versus a Disciple of Yuanxu Mountain; how could they miss such a good show?
Especially now that Dongchao City was under lockdown, they could not miss such excitement.
"Senior Brother, aren't you going?"
Seeing Su Lianxue remain unmoved, Yu Yaoqin asked.
Looking at Lin Ming, he seemed completely uninterested in this matter.
