Chapter 721 - 305: Turn Out in Full Force

Chapter 721: Chapter 305: Turn Out in Full Force

The Celestial Horse Ox carried Chu Lingguang and the others, flying straight toward the Profound Celestial Sect.

They were just about to leave the Ancient Perilous Land and enter the territory of the Profound Celestial Sect.

Lv Shuishan, the Jiang Family attendant who had reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, suddenly slowed their speed.

As a Foundation Establishment expert, he could quickly sense the ambush ahead, even though Chu Lingguang and the others could not.

"Elder Lv, what’s wrong?"

Jiang Ruhong noticed the flying artifact slowing down.

"There’s a group lying in ambush ahead,"

Lv Shuishan said.

"Who would dare to set an ambush here? We’re from the Profound Celestial Sect. The sect’s territory is just a short distance ahead,"

Jiang Ruhong said.

"I’m not sure. I don’t know if they’re after us,"

Lv Shuishan said uncertainly.

"Impossible. Who would be so bold?"

Jiang Ruhong immediately dismissed the idea.

"Fly the banner of the Profound Celestial Sect,"

he ordered.

An Outer Disciple immediately followed his command, hanging the Profound Celestial Sect’s banner on the carriage.

"Something’s wrong,"

Chu Lingguang said suddenly.

He and Li Qiushui exchanged a look. They both sensed that something was amiss.

The two of them had made it out of the Immortal King’s Tomb alive. They had witnessed the Cyan Cloud Sect’s actions inside and had even killed the sect’s Venerable Changxu.

The Golden Core Realm cultivator had been convinced that the Immortal Fate from the Immortal King’s Tomb was with them.

Now, someone had set an ambush near the Profound Celestial Sect’s territory, clearly intending to intercept its cultivators. It was highly likely they were after the two of them.

"Let’s approach slowly,"

Li Qiushui said after a moment of thought.

Her reasoning was, first, that Guo Wei was severely injured and needed to be taken back for treatment immediately. If they were delayed, she was worried about the effect it would have on Chu Lingguang.

Second, just past the mountain ahead lay the territory of the Profound Celestial Sect. If the Cyan Cloud Sect was blocking the way, they just had to break through. The Cyan Cloud Sect wouldn’t dare to do anything to them after that.

They couldn’t just charge into the Profound Celestial Sect’s territory to hunt them down. That would be seen as a declaration of war on the Profound Celestial Sect, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Furthermore, Lv Shuishan was a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Although he was only at the level of Human Dao Foundation Establishment, he was not someone a Qi Refining cultivator could provoke.

Even if she and Chu Lingguang joined forces, they would be no match for him.

With him around, breaking through the blockade and entering the Profound Celestial Sect’s territory should be relatively easy.

Besides, it would look strange for a carriage of the Profound Celestial Sect to take a detour.

"Alright."

So Lv Shuishan maneuvered the carriage and continued to fly forward.

Of course, he had also slowed his pace.

Jiang Ruhong and a few Outer Disciples exited the carriage and flew alongside on their swords, guarding the carriage as it advanced.

Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui also readied themselves, bracing for a confrontation.

If the people from the Cyan Cloud Sect were coming for them, they would not show any mercy.

And so, the Celestial Horse Ox pulled the carriage, and they soon arrived before the group from the Cyan Cloud Sect ambushing them from the mountain forest.

At that moment,

they shot up from below,

and quickly surrounded the carriage.

Lv Shuishan stepped out of the carriage.

He released the aura of the Foundation Establishment Realm.

Jiang Ruhong asked, "Everyone, we are disciples of the Profound Celestial Sect, and we have an injured person to transport back to our sect. May I ask what the meaning of this?"

There were dozens of them, a menacing dark mass.

Several more groups were in the forest below, watching the sky. Such a large formation didn’t seem like a simple roadside robbery.

"Who is in the carriage? Have everyone inside come out,"

a middle-aged man said.

He stood in the air without using Sword Flight.

His Spiritual Power was immense. Faced with the pressure of Lv Shuishan’s aura, he simply gave a light cough and actually repelled Lv Shuishan’s Spiritual Power fluctuation.

Lv Shuishan’s expression changed. The man was actually an Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator. Not only that, but they were vastly outnumbered, and he could faintly sense the presence of other Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators below.

If a fight broke out, their small group wouldn’t stand a chance.

"It’s an injured person inside. There’s nothing to see,"

Jiang Ruhong said.

"I said, come out and let me have a look,"

the middle-aged man said, his tone leaving no room for argument.

As an Immortal Dao Foundation Establishment cultivator, he could use his Spiritual Sense to investigate. However, a flying magical artifact like the Celestial Horse Ox could block Spiritual Sense. Unless one’s power was approaching the Golden Core Realm, an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator’s Spiritual Sense could not break through the artifact’s power barrier to see inside the carriage.

But the middle-aged man could vaguely sense three auras inside the carriage.

Two of the auras were flickering, as if on high alert and ready to charge out at any moment.

Inside the carriage, Chu Lingguang and Li Qiushui were indeed thinking just that.

’Their opponents have such a large force, and even after learning we’re from the Profound Celestial Sect, they still insist on looking inside. They clearly won’t give up.’

To be safe,

Chu Lingguang tried to take control of the Celestial Horse Ox. If things went south, he could pilot the flying magical artifact and get Guo Wei back to the sect first.

’Anyway, the Cyan Cloud Sect is after me and Li Qiushui. They won’t do anything to Jiang Ruhong and the others.’

Lv Shuishan frowned.

He felt Chu Lingguang release a Spiritual Sense fluctuation from within the carriage, attempting to control the Celestial Horse Ox.

He couldn’t help but look at Jiang Ruhong.

Although Jiang Ruhong’s strength was far inferior to Lv Shuishan’s, and even a great deal weaker than Chu Lingguang’s, as a disciple of the Jiang Family, he could still detect the anomaly with the Celestial Horse Ox.

He hadn’t expected Chu Lingguang to do such a thing.

’It seems he has a guilty conscience.’

’Maybe the people from the Cyan Cloud Sect really are after them.’

Thinking of this, he gave Lv Shuishan a slight nod,

signaling him to hand over control of the Celestial Horse Ox to Chu Lingguang.

No matter how Chu Lingguang had offended the Cyan Cloud Sect, Jiang Ruhong only knew one thing: the Jiang Family had ordered him to do everything in his power to befriend Chu Lingguang and establish a good relationship with him before he became an Alchemy Master.
