38: Pursuit

"Hehe, hand over all of your Heavenly Profound Sect's Cultivation Techniques. Today, our Su Family will disregard our reputation to achieve our goal. Neither you nor your relatives will live!"

Su Yang's eyes were cold as he looked at Su Yao, who had once been expelled from the Su Family, seemingly without any emotion. Their current demand for Cultivation Techniques was all for the sake of the Su Family. As long as they could obtain them, even if the Heavenly Profound Sect blamed them, at most, they would return the original items.

They would keep the other things for themselves.

"The Heavenly Profound Sect's Mind-Cultivation Technique can only be learned by me. After I learn it once, the Cultivation Technique automatically self-destructs. The Sect still has this kind of confidentiality mechanism, so don't be delusional."

Su Yao shook her head. She also had a trump card. Her Revered Master had given her a Puppet, a Puppet comparable to a Saint, which was exchanged along with these Magic Treasures.

If it were used, it would very likely attract the Su Family Ancestor. At that time, if the Puppet and the Old Ancestor fought, she would have no chance to reclaim her Puppet, but she could retreat safely with her family.

This was her last trump card, and Su Yao did not want to use it lightly.

"Since that's the case, let me use Soul Searching Art to thoroughly examine your memories and learn this Mind-Cultivation Technique!"

Su Yang slowly extended his hand, wanting to press it on Su Yao's head. His pressure was enough to immobilize this little girl at the Entering Profundity Peak.

Facing such immense pressure, Su Yao was indeed unable to move, but she could forcefully throw out the Puppet she carried.

"Boom!"

With a flash of light from Su Yao's Storage Ring, a humanoid Puppet suddenly appeared between Su Yao and Su Yang. The Puppet threw a punch forward with all its might, and Su Yang's expression changed drastically.

In that instant, he was directly sent flying, spitting blood, and heavily crashed to the ground.

At this moment, Li Yun, a Heavenly Human cultivator, dashed onto the prisoner cart. He had already noticed his family among the crowd. Seeing that Su Yao had made her move, he didn't hesitate and instantly broke open the cage.

"Go!"

Li Yun waved his large hand, sweeping the four people along as he rushed towards the Arena.

With such a situation, the scene immediately descended into chaos. The Su Family members looked at Su Yang, who had been sent flying, exchanging glances, and for a moment, no one dared to step forward.

A Heavenly Human Peak cultivator instantly killed with one punch—just how strong was this Puppet?

"Quick, go!"

Li Yun rushed onto the Arena, pulled Su Yao, and tried to leave, but only felt as if he had been locked onto by something terrifying.

Lotus flower phantoms bloomed in the sky. A golden figure slowly walked out from the Su Family residence. He only took one step forward, yet it was as if he had crossed thousands of miles, instantly arriving above the Arena. Around him, lotus flower phantoms bloomed in profusion.

A Saint emerges, Every Step Blooming a Lotus!

This was the unique Heaven and Earth phenomenon when a Saint expert made a move!

"Damn it, the Su Family Ancestor is here!"

Li Yun's face turned pale. At this moment, he had no way to leave with his family.

A Saint is a Dominator of Heaven and Earth; one could say their words are law.

As long as a Saint didn't want them to leave, they had no means to contend against a Saint.

"Hehe, I never thought my Su Family would abandon such a Prodigy. Unfortunately, what's done is done; this is already a fact. Today, you injured a member of the Su Family with your actions. It is reasonable for me to take your life, and the Heavenly Profound Sect will have nothing to say about it."

Su Family Ancestor Su Chusheng stared indifferently at Su Yao below, then a surge of Qi directly blasted towards her.

The Puppet reacted quickly, meeting that surge of Qi directly and smashing it with a punch, instantly shattering it.

Su Chusheng frowned slightly, a strange expression appearing on his face. Su Yao actually possessed such a Magic Treasure. It was likely that the Heavenly Profound Sect had already begun cultivating her as an heir. If she truly became the Heavenly Profound Sect Revered Master in the future, the Su Family would probably be annihilated.

This woman must not be allowed to live!

Seeing that he could move, Li Yun seized the opportunity, grabbed Su Yao, and ran.

He also used spiritual power to carry the three Su Family members with him as they fled.

They turned into a streak of light, rapidly rushing out of Jinyun City. If other Su Family experts arrived as reinforcements, they would have no chance at all!

Li Haotian only felt a wisp of black Qi on Su Yao's body suddenly dissipate, then he revealed a satisfied smile. Immediately, he tore the talisman in his hand, enveloping all the Zhang Family members present in a silver streak of light, and returned directly to the Zhang Family.

Zhang Hai, seeing that he was out of danger, wanted to tell his father to quickly run, but unexpectedly, the entire Zhang Family was already surrounded by Su Family members.

He actually knew that his sister had been harmed, and the culprit was Su Aotian. He had no other choice now but to Cultivate diligently and personally kill the perpetrator for revenge in the future.

The Su Family members prepared to rush into the Zhang Family to kill Zhang Linfeng and replace the family head, thereby controlling the entire Zhang Family.

At this moment, Li Haotian slowly stepped forward, holding the Heavenly Profound Sect's Token, and walked to the front of the Su Family members, kicking open the door.

"I am the Chief of the Heavenly Profound Sect. Zhang Hai of the Zhang Family has been accepted by this Venerable One as a Personal Disciple. Anyone who dares to harm his father can try."

Li Haotian's tone was calm but carried an undeniable authority, instantly silencing everyone. No one dared to take a step forward. The Heavenly Profound Sect Token was definitely real, as the aura emanating from it made them hesitate.

Li Haotian merely didn't want to waste any means, so he simply bluffed to intimidate them.

The Su Family's cowardly rabble were indeed scared into immobility by him, wanting to report to their superiors before deciding whether to act.

During the confrontation, Zhang Hai had already brought his father out. The family of three left Jinyun City with Li Haotian.

To catch up with Li Yun and the others, Li Haotian specifically used a Teleportation Talisman, heading in the direction they fled.

Not long after, he encountered the Li Family members.

Li Yun looked at Li Haotian with some surprise, thinking he was a pursuer sent by the Su Family.

"I didn't expect the Su Family to send experts so quickly. Yaoyao, you all go first. Today, even if I have to risk this old life, I will definitely help you block them!"

Li Yun assumed a stance ready for a life-or-death struggle.

"Revered Master!"

Su Yao saw the figure at the very front and immediately cried out in surprise.

Li Yun looked at his granddaughter, then at Li Haotian.

"Could Senior be the Chief of the Heavenly Profound Sect?"

"Precisely."

Li Haotian nodded.

"I wasn't at ease letting you return alone for revenge. On the way back this time, I also took in a new Disciple. You should have met them on the Arena earlier."

Zhang Hai and Su Yao had indeed met on the Arena earlier. They were both enemies of the Su Family, and the enemy of an enemy is a friend. The two exchanged glances, nodded, and said nothing.

"From now on, this will be your Junior Brother. Having provoked the Su Family, you have nowhere else to go. I will take you all to live in a city protected by the Sect."

After Li Haotian explained his identity to them, as he was about to leave with them, a hearty laugh came from the sky.

"A Saint Puppet wants to stop me, a true Saint? What a fool's dream!"
