Chapter 1028 - 541: Eighth Life: Giant Whale Gang, the Path to Death!
Chapter 1028: Chapter 541: Eighth Life: Giant Whale Gang, the Path to Death!
"What happened, senior?"
Seeing that Li Shouzhuo’s expression was not right, Lu Yuan immediately asked.
"I’m fine, but Qingxuan and the others have encountered trouble."
Li Shouzhuo did not hide anything and immediately relayed the information that Han Qingxuan and others sent back to Lu Yuan.
"The Sect Master and the others have been targeted by local factions here?"
Upon learning the whole story, Lu Yuan frowned.
Xuandan City is as large as a secular dynasty, with a population of several hundred million.
In such a vast city, there is naturally a mix of elements, leading to the emergence of various gangs and forces.
Han Qingxuan and the others were newcomers without any background or backing, bringing a lot of sect resources, and obviously became fat sheep in the eyes of many forces.
For instance, the Giant Whale Gang, which set their sights on them, is a second-rate gang in Xuandan City.
"Senior, let’s go and have a look first."
Lu Yuan suggested.
"Alright." Li Shouzhuo nodded, forming hand seals.
The communication jade talisman in his hand immediately emitted a faint glow, directing them in a certain direction.
Following the guidance of the communication jade talisman,
Lu Yuan and Li Shouzhuo passed through most of Xuandan City and finally reached a remote and dirty shanty town on the city’s edge.
No matter how prosperous and affluent a city is, there will always be places filled with filth and dirt.
This shanty town in East City is where many low-level cultivators find refuge.
The air here is polluted, spiritual power is scarce, and it’s mixed with all sorts of people.
"Lu Yuan, Elder Li, you’ve arrived."
The long unseen Han Qingxuan, along with Luo Xin and Tang Rhyme, had already been waiting here.
When he saw Lu Yuan and Li Shouzhuo, he immediately walked up quickly, unable to hide his excitement.
Luo Xin and Tang Rhyme were also very happy to see Lu Yuan again.
However, their clothes were ragged, their bodies emaciated, and their eyes were full of bloodshot lines, as if they hadn’t had a good sleep for a long time.
They were a far cry from how they were back in the Cyan Cloud Sect.
"It seems that the Sect Master’s days have not been easy either."
Lu Yuan observed the changes in Han Qingxuan and the others and couldn’t help but feel emotional.
However, thinking about it, it’s quite normal.
In this cultivation world, where the weak are prey to the strong, one’s own power is the greatest reliance.
Yet Han Qingxuan and the others only have Half-Step Celestial Destiny Cultivation, and without any background or connections, trying to gain a foothold in Xuandan City is as hard as ascending to heaven.
So, having left their homeland and relocated here with the entire sect, they clearly went through a lot of hardship.
Fortunately, despite encountering various dangers along the way, they ultimately survived.
"Sect Master, Senior Sister, you all have worked hard during this time."
With a complex mood, Lu Yuan sighed softly.
"Wahh, Junior Brother, you finally came."
"While you were gone, so many people bullied us, and many senior brothers died..."
Luo Xin, hearing these words, could no longer control her emotions, and all the grievances and difficulties she endured during this time burst out.
Her eyes reddened, large tears rolled down her cheeks, and she threw herself into Lu Yuan’s arms, holding on tightly, unwilling to let go.
Even Tang Rhyme, usually cold and aloof, was now rubbing her eyes with reddened eyelids, feeling wronged.
"From now on, with me here, no one will dare to bully you again."
Lu Yuan patted her head, soothingly.
After a while,
Luo Xin finally regained her composure, feeling a bit embarrassed as she withdrew from Lu Yuan’s embrace.
"Sect Master, what happened to your arm and those injuries on your body?"
Lu Yuan looked at Han Qingxuan and asked immediately.
Although from the surface,
Han Qingxuan didn’t seem any different from before.
But as a Void Dao Saint Master, how powerful was Lu Yuan’s divine thought?
Just a casual sweep with his divine thought revealed that Han Qingxuan’s aura was weak, with multiple hidden injuries, obviously having suffered some serious trauma.
Though he wore a robe with large sleeves, purposely hiding his right hand within its wide sleeves.
But under Lu Yuan’s observation,
he noticed Han Qingxuan’s right arm was drooping down as if lifelessly hanging from his body, looking very unnatural.
"Just some previous injuries, nothing serious, they’ll be fine with some rest."
Han Qingxuan forced a smile, not wanting to worry Lu Yuan.
"Junior Brother, Master was..."
Luo Xin, unable to keep quiet, began to say something but was stopped by a glance from Han Qingxuan.
"Come, come, standing here is not appropriate, let’s go inside and talk."
Han Qingxuan, unwilling to bring up the matter, quickly changed the subject.
Lu Yuan noticed this but didn’t say anything more.
"The land in Xuandan City is precious, and the rent is expensive, only a Celestial Destiny Great Power can afford it."
"Although this place is a bit shabby, we spent much effort to find a foothold on the outskirts of the city, so don’t mind it."
Han Qingxuan walked ahead, leading Lu Yuan and Li Shouzhuo through the shanty town until they arrived at a group of wooden houses.
There were dozens of makeshift wooden houses, appearing very simple.
But inside each wooden house, there were several large beds, with several disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect lying on them.
When they saw Lu Yuan and Li Shouzhuo, the previously vacant and dull eyes finally regained a bit of light, and they struggle to stand up and salute.
"Disciples salute Senior Brother Lu Yuan and Elder Li Shouzhuo."
"Are these all the surviving disciples of Cyan Cloud Sect?"
Li Shouzhuo looked around and saw that there were only a few hundred disciples, and he couldn’t help but ask.
