286: Chapter 286 Kidnapping

But it was already too late. The incident was sudden, and they were caught unprepared. They were caught off guard by Lin Qilong's sneak attack and lost the initiative.

Furthermore, the small pagoda in Lin Qilong's hand was no ordinary item; it was a Heaven-Grade peak-tier Spiritual Artifact.

It was a replica of the ancient Sacred Artifact, the Zhenren Pagoda, and it possessed a trace of the mysterious power of the ancient Sacred Artifact, which was truly extraordinary.

"Haha! It's too late. You cannot resist, so come with us!"

Lin Qilong laughed heartily as his Aura erupted, revealing his cultivation level of the Heavenly Human Realm!

Both of them were at the Middle Stage of the Heavenly Human Realm, far more powerful than any of the Prodigies present.

Naturally, they were also older, roughly twice the age of everyone else present.

However, even so, their talent was extraordinary, not a bit inferior to those present; in fact, they were slightly superior.

Lin Qilong channeled his magic power into the small pagoda, awakening its artifact spirit, and a vast, incomparable power radiated from it.

At the bottom of the small pagoda, a huge vortex formed, and with a swoosh, it sucked all dozen people into the tower at once.

"Success, Senior Brother, let's go!"

Lin Qilong shouted at Ho Hu, his tone revealing a hint of excitement.

Then, he retracted the massive ancient tower, letting it shrink into a small, exquisite pagoda that he held in his hand.

"You have some nerve, daring to kidnap people! Everyone, attack together, stop them, don't let them escape!"

"As long as we stall them for a moment, the experts from the Yunhai Sect will arrive soon."

The countless Prodigies in the building reacted at this moment, swarming forward and unleashing all sorts of Spiritual Artifacts and Martial Skills, almost drowning Lin Qilong and Ho Hu.

"Boom!"

Lin Qilong injected magic power into the small pagoda, causing it to transform into an ancient tower as large as a mountain, emitting a blinding light.

A crushing force surged out from the ancient tower, blocking the attacks of all the Prodigies and sending them flying.

Standing on top of the ancient tower, Lin Qilong laughed wildly at the Prodigies below: "We two are the successors of the Zongle Valley, Lin Qilong and Ho Hu. Remember that!"

"Whoosh!"

After saying this, the two simultaneously activated the ancient tower to carry them away, breaking through the Void Realm at extreme speed.

The Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists stationed outside the Purple Moon Building immediately gave chase.

The Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists of the Yunhai Sect, in particular, had extremely ugly expressions on their faces; one had to know that this was their Yunhai Sect's territory.

If these dozen female Prodigies were kidnapped here, their Yunhai Sect would completely lose face.

However, these Heavenly Human Realm Martial Artists soon stopped in their tracks.

The speed of the ancient tower was simply too fast; they couldn't catch up at all and could only watch helplessly as Lin Qilong and his companion disappeared before their eyes.

"Elder Xu, you need to give the Jade Crystal Family an explanation. Why were the gems of our clan kidnapped on your territory? You should know that our Family's gems came here at your Sect's invitation. Is this how you handle security?"

The Heavenly Human Realm Elder of the Jade Crystal Family turned to look at the Elder of the Yunhai Sect, questioning him with a voice full of anger!

The other factions whose female Prodigies had been kidnapped also looked toward the Yunhai Sect, their faces filled with rage, and said in cold tones:

"That's right, Elder Xu, your Yunhai Sect must give us an explanation, otherwise, we will not let this go!"

Although the incident was sudden and no one had anticipated it, since these people had vanished from the Yunhai Sect's territory, they had to provide an explanation. To rescue their own Prodigies, they had to pressure the Yunhai Sect to act with full force.

Otherwise, by the time their own Family Old Ancestors took action, everything would be too late.

Upon hearing this, Elder Xu's expression was also very ugly. His old face looked incomparably cold, even slightly twisted, and he said softly:

"Fellow Daoists, please calm your anger. Since they were kidnapped on the territory of my Yunhai Sect, my Yunhai Sect will definitely give everyone an explanation. I will go back now to report to the Sect Master and ask him to invite the Old Ancestor to go and rescue the Prodigies of your various factions."

Elder Xu also knew that his Yunhai Sect could not shirk the responsibility for this incident, so he immediately gave his assurance!

If something happened on their own territory and they did nothing, it would certainly incite public outrage!

Qin Xiao, who had been watching from the side, saw the actions of Lin Qilong and Ho Hu and gave a loud shout, "Good fellow!"

He hurriedly chased after them. He hadn't expected the two to be so bold as to commit a daylight robbery!

And they had even revealed their Sect and names, wanting to make themselves famous throughout the world.

Their courage was truly immense, almost matching his own!

He had originally thought that since the two had conspired for so long, they had some secret plan, intending to be low-key and kidnap the people in secret. He hadn't expected the other party to go for a big move just to make a name for themselves!

It was truly a bit beyond his expectations!

Qin Xiao followed the two for who knows how many tens of thousands of miles, crossing one mountain range after another, before entering a primitive forest.

Only then did the two finally stop.

The primitive mountain range they were currently in was very tall, with countless towering peaks rising up.

Waterfalls cascaded down from the mountain summits, creating deep pools and ravines.

Clouds and mist swirled between the mountains, appearing very peculiar as they drifted in and out of sight.

Lin Qilong flew off the top of the tower, hovering in the Void Realm, and cast a dharma seal with his hands.

He shrank the massive ancient tower into a small pagoda a few inches high and held it in his palm.

The two searched in all directions, and after confirming that no one was chasing them, they let out a long sigh of relief.

"Senior Brother, we succeeded. Where do we go next?"

Lin Qilong said to Ho Hu excitedly. They had done such a big thing this time; it would surely shake the entire Mystic Divine Continent.

However, they would now have to face the pursuit of various factions, but that was no big deal!

After all, their School was built on surviving pursuits; they had already mastered the true teachings of their School, and their escape skills were top-notch!

As long as they weren't caught right at the beginning, it would be almost impossible for anyone to find them again.

"Let me see!"

Upon hearing this, Ho Hu took out a beast-skin map from his Storage Ring and held it in his hand, examining it carefully.

"There is an Immortal Cave left behind by our Senior nearby. He set up various concealment measures inside. We will go there to hide for a while!"

Ho Hu put away the map, a smile appearing on his face:

"That Immortal Cave was left by a Senior of our School who was at the Ninth Level of the Half-Saint Realm. It is called the Joyful Cave Heaven. It is built within the earth veins and can isolate Qi and all kinds of calculations. It is an excellent place to hide!"

Because of the special nature of their School, their Elders would leave behind hidden strongholds everywhere to facilitate their juniors hiding and avoiding pursuit from all sides.
