Chapter 66

When Ge Pi saw these people rushing out of the lake, he immediately shouted loudly, "Senior Brother, save me!"

Yuan Zhi didn't even glance at him, and with a swoosh, he broke through the air, leaving behind a faint glow. The two people who emerged with him, Lu Xiaodeng only clearly saw one wearing the Daojun robe of the Cloud Sword Sect, while the other was too dazzling to make out, and quickly followed him out.

These Golden Core cultivators really ran fast. She shifted her gaze to the other two who hadn't run away yet, her eyes lit up, and she waved her hand to greet them, "Junior Brother, you came too? Did you see Senior Sister? Is she okay?"

Following her out of the water was Lu Dan. He indeed came as Yu Xiudan had said. Lu Dan kept his eyes fixed on the red-clothed Yu Zisi in front of him and said without turning his head, "I saw her just now, she's fine."

"Then I'm relieved. You must be careful, don't lose because of a pretty face." Lu Xiaodeng finally felt reassured and waved her hand, speaking loudly.

Yu Zisi frowned, turned around, and flew into the air. Without a word, Lu Dan also flew out, and in no time, all these people had run away.

Lu Xiaodeng turned to look at Ge Pi and sighed, "It's just you again."

"You said you would let me go. Does it still count now?" Ge Pi had already cursed Yuan Zhi to the heavens in his heart for abandoning him and fleeing. But thinking about the guy being chased by two Golden Core cultivators, he might be dead if he had bad luck. Comparing his opponent, he was really lucky.

"Yes, although I'm a bit concerned about your injuries, I feel that you wouldn't dare to take the pills I give you. So, you can leave with your injuries." Lu Xiaodeng didn't go back on her word and simply waved her hand.

Ge Pi stood up with great caution, holding his chest and stepping back, his eyes fixed on her, afraid she would suddenly attack. But he found that she had no intention of attacking, and just stood there with a calm expression.

Finally, he turned and fled into the bushes.

These children had no idea what had just happened, only thinking that flying in the sky looked very impressive. After eating and drinking to their heart's content, they forgot their fear and worry, and excitedly said, "That was amazing, I saw people flying in the air, it was really fun."

"Alright, let's go. I'll send you back now." Lu Xiaodeng stomped out the fire, picked up the tripod, and said to the children.

Hearing they could go back, they quickly followed her to the northeast. Without being soul-drawn, they soon got tired and started crying, saying they couldn't walk anymore. Lu Xiaodeng had to put them in the tripod. The tripod's opening wasn't big enough, so three of them had to hold onto each other's legs to sit inside. Then she carried them back to Peach Leisure City.

Late at night, she arrived outside the city. Seeing the gate was open, she didn't enter but let the children out to go home on their own. She watched them cry and run to the guards, then turned and left, thinking that the good deed she did today was really great, and she would boast to her master when she got back.

Lu Dan went to chase the female evil cultivator and probably didn't have time to mention his own affairs to Senior Sister. She decided to go back to the old place and wait for Senior Sister. If she knew she had run out, she would definitely scold her to death. Anyway, she didn't find anyone when she went to save her, so she definitely didn't know she had come.

She ran all the way back, and by the time she returned, it was already dawn. Seeing the big hole she had dug was still there, she wanted to fill it with soil to block the hole. But the mud just fell down, and instead of blocking the hole, she filled the hole she had dug for herself.

"What are you doing?" When Lu Xiaodeng was working hard to fill the hole, Lu Yaohang's voice came from behind her. Her movements froze, and she turned her head and smiled foolishly, "Senior Sister, you're back? The top of the cave collapsed, I'm trying to fix it."

Lu Yaohang looked at her standing in a pit, digging out the mud and throwing it to the nearby hole, essentially filling the original hole and digging a new one.

"I heard from Lu Dan that he saw you when he was chasing the evil cultivator, and you were with a group of children roasting something by the lake. Didn't I tell you to stay here? Why did you go to such a place and take the children out at night?" she asked coldly.

"..." Lu Xiaodeng was speechless about Lu Dan. Couldn't he keep it to himself? He went and told on her so quickly, really, did he not fight with that woman?

Lu Yaohang asked coldly, "Did you run out?"

"Yes, I had a lot of crystal beans, so I wanted to go to Peach Leisure City to play and buy some fun little things. I thought the city was safe, so I went without worry. Who knew I would encounter a noodle seller, a low-level and foolish evil cultivator, who was soul-drawing the children and trying to take them away. As a member of the Cloud Sword Sect, how could I stand by and do nothing, so I saved the children."

She paused, skipping over the part where she infiltrated the enemy's lair, and continued, "Later, I got lost and stopped to rest by the lake. I didn't need to eat, but the children did. Who would have thought I would run into Lu Dan there. It was purely a coincidence; I just went to the city to play."

Her explanation was reasonable and good, but Lu Yaohang said, "You followed the evil cultivator because he chased you away or refused to sell you something, right?"

"Ah!" Lu Xiaodeng was shocked, "Senior Sister, you were following me all along?"

"No, just a guess." Lu Yaohang said coolly, "If the evil cultivator was trying to kidnap live children, his methods would be very sophisticated and wouldn't be easily discovered. These people don't want to get involved with cultivators, and you, carrying a tripod and wearing the Cloud Sword Sect's clothes, wouldn't be treated normally."

Lu Xiaodeng exclaimed, "Senior Sister, you're amazing. That guy really did that. He wouldn't sell me a noodle figure. I pestered him for a long time, and he finally made one for me, but when I asked him to make one of you, he refused." She was still a bit dissatisfied, as Ge Pi still owed her a noodle figure, and she would make him give it back the next time they met.

"This time, the evil cultivators didn't leave any live captives, and some of them escaped. Many things are still unclear, and we don't even know if their lair is here." Lu Yaohang suddenly said.

Lu Xiaodeng was worried that the evil cultivators might have mentioned a person carrying a tripod, but hearing that no live captives were caught, she immediately felt relieved. She straightened her back and said, "These despicable guys, it's a pity we didn't catch any live captives."

Seeing her change from timid to confident, Lu Yaohang knew she must have done more than just go to the lake. But she didn't say anything, as she wouldn't take her on any more adventures after this.

"Let's go. The evil cultivators' lair has been destroyed, and Daojun Lian Fei is still investigating. We should hurry over. After everything is done, we'll follow them back." Lu Yaohang pulled Lu Xiaodeng, who was covered in mud, out of the pit. The mission was completed, and they couldn't leave on their own; they had to go back with the group.

Then she took Lu Xiaodeng and flew to the hill where the evil cultivators were. They didn't enter Peach Leisure City but rested and recuperated there. Flying was fast, and they quickly arrived. On the grass at the foot of the small hill, many cultivators were resting and healing, numbering about two to three hundred.

Among them was a conspicuous large tent, where Daojun Lian Fei must be. As a Golden Core cultivator, he couldn't just sit on the ground like everyone else; that would be too undignified.

The tent was overly luxurious, even inlaid with crystals, shining in the early morning sun. One look and you knew it wasn't from the usually poor and low-key Cloud Sword Sect.

"Senior Sister, did we get help from other sects this time? This tent is too flashy; the person who came must be pampered." Lu Xiaodeng asked casually.

When Lu Yaohang went to meet her, she only told Bai Zhen and didn't even see Daojun Lian Fei, let alone the luxurious tent. She said coldly, "I don't know, probably. Anyway, it's not related to us."

"True."

The two landed on the grass and prepared to find Lu Dan and Bai Zhen to ask if there was anything else to do. If not, they would wait to go back.

Unexpectedly, Bai Zhen walked over, as if he had been waiting for a long time. Seeing them, he said, "Your Senior Brother from Tian Dan Peak has been called to the tent. It's Lu Dan, right? The Void Sect people say he released an important female evil cultivator and are interrogating him. Do you want to go see?"

"Ah?" Lu Xiaodeng and Lu Yaohang were surprised. Did Lu Dan release the person?

"What's wrong with Lu Dan? I warned him not to be swayed by beauty, and he actually released the person." She didn't expect her playful words to be taken seriously. But she asked, puzzled, "Why are the Void Sect people here?"

Bai Zhen smiled, "Didn't you see? Besides our people, there are other sects here. Everyone has the responsibility to eliminate evil cultivators, and Peach Leisure City is the territory of a subordinate sect of the Void Sect, so it's normal for them to send people."

Hearing this, Lu Xiaodeng quickly said, "Senior Sister, let's go see. We can't let Lu Dan be bullied by the Void Sect."

"Thank you, Senior Brother, for letting us know." Lu Yaohang thanked him and quickly led Lu Xiaodeng to the tent. As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard a familiar voice speaking angrily inside.

"Your Excellencies, this Lu Dan might be a spy planted by the evil cultivators among us, aiming to eliminate us all."

"How is it this guy again? He's really like a vengeful ghost." Hearing this voice, Lu Xiaodeng immediately got angry, not even greeting, and directly lifted the crystal curtain at the tent entrance, rushing in and shouting, "Spit! Nonsense, you're the spy. How dare you bully my Junior Brother without asking me?"
