Fang Xiaoyu, using the Wind Blade Escape Technique, was incredibly fast, flashing behind the attacking disciple and knocking him away with a sword strike.
Then, her figure blurred, moving at extreme speed, and she repelled another disciple who came to assist.
After casting the Wind Blade Escape Technique, the two clumsy Earth attribute disciples of the Five Elements Hall could no longer get close to Fang Xiaoyu. Fang Xiaoyu fought while moving, completely at ease.
Watching from a distance, Chai Lian's eyes showed suspicion as he saw Fang Xiaoyu's speed and movement. He then became serious, his gaze growing incredulous and resolute, his expression extremely grim.
"Something big has happened."
Chai Lian murmured with a solemn face, then his eyes turned slightly white. His figure moved like lightning, becoming streaks of afterimages as he charged towards Fang Xiaoyu.
The wind around his body turned into sharp blades, cutting through space. In the blink of an eye, he was before Fang Xiaoyu and unleashed a punch.
Fang Xiaoyu was sent flying by the punch. After stabilizing herself, she raised her twin swords and charged at Chai Lian.
The two figures became streaks of afterimages, their shadows completely invisible to the onlookers, who could only feel the violent energy fluctuations.
In just a few breaths, they had exchanged blows at least ten thousand times.
*Swish!*
With a light sound, their figures reappeared simultaneously, creating distance. Chai Lian's face was pale, while Fang Xiaoyu's mouth was bleeding.
"You are not a disciple of the Five Elements Hall. Where did you learn the Wind Blade Escape Technique!"
Chai Lian's eyes were ferocious as he spoke word by word.
Hearing this, the two Earth Hall disciples' faces changed greatly. Then, they suddenly understood. No wonder she could match Senior Brother Chai in speed; she was actually using the Wind Blade Escape Technique.
Fang Xiaoyu remained silent. From their recent exchange, she had already judged that the young man before her was also using the Wind Blade Escape Technique. She was too familiar with it.
"You won't say? It seems you don't realize the seriousness of the matter. Don't worry, you will speak."
Chai Lian sneered, then pressed a small button on his collar and took out his spiritual communication artifact to make a call.
"Transfer to the Security Division of the Five Elements Hall Headquarters, immediately."
A moment later, a voice came from the spiritual communication artifact in front of Chai Lian.
"This is the Security Division of the Five Elements Hall Headquarters. Please speak."
"I am Chai Lian, a disciple of the Wind Hall of the Five Elements Hall, currently stationed at the East Land Branch Security Division. While on a mission to resolve a brawl dispute in Pure Mountain, the suspect, Fang Xiaoyu, resisted arrest and used the Wind Blade Escape Technique.
The combat process has been uploaded to the Security Division's internal official website via the enforcement recorder."
As Chai Lian spoke, the two Earth Hall disciples stood protectively in front of him, glaring at Fang Xiaoyu in the distance.
Chai Lian's voice was not deliberately shielded or suppressed, meaning that Fang Xiaoyu and everyone in Pure Mountain in the distance could hear his words.
Fang Xiaoyu had a bad feeling. She and Wan Lei had analyzed earlier that the Wind Blade Escape Technique was a top-secret divine ability of the Five Elements Hall in the Immortal Realm. Very few could cultivate it, and it must be heavily guarded.
Furthermore, she couldn't provide any evidence to prove that she had acquired this divine ability through legal and legitimate means.
After all, they couldn't say it was a divine ability left by the Six Immortals in the Thunder Wind Realm. If the Five Elements Hall were to search for evidence in the Thunder Wind Realm, the small Thunder Wind Realm couldn't withstand their turmoil. Moreover, they couldn't guarantee that the Six Immortals were truly in the Five Elements Hall.
Therefore, she and Wan Lei had never used the Wind Blade Escape Technique after arriving in the Immortal Realm, fearing trouble. But this time, trouble had found them. The opponent intended to kill her, and if she didn't use it, she would die.
After a moment of silence from Chai Lian's spiritual communication artifact, a voice returned.
"We have checked. This person is not a disciple of the Five Elements Hall, nor is there any record of her exchanging for the Wind Blade Escape Technique. Apprehension is permitted."
"Requesting maximum apprehension authority."
Chai Lian immediately said, as this was the main purpose of his report.
"Maximum apprehension authority is granted and unlocked. Controlled weapons are permitted, but Senior Brother Chai Lian, you must capture the target alive and return to the Five Elements Hall Headquarters immediately after completing the mission. We need to interrogate her on how she acquired the Wind Blade Escape Technique.
During the combat, do not harm any innocents. Only bring Fang Xiaoyu back."
"Received."
Chai Lian hung up the call, and a watch strap on his wrist changed from green light to red light.
This was the symbol of authority change.
Chai Lian looked up, his gaze cold as he looked at Fang Xiaoyu. Seeing this, Fang Xiaoyu immediately prepared to retreat.
Chai Lian extended his hand, and a horn-shaped weapon emerged from below the flying ship they were on.
Chai Lian and the two Earth Hall disciples moved in unison. They pressed something behind their ears, and then a very exquisite transparent helmet appeared, protecting their heads.
The three of them charged at Fang Xiaoyu. As Chai Lian used the Wind Blade Escape Technique, Fang Xiaoyu also used it.
Suddenly, the large horn on the flying ship launched an attack. It was a sound imperceptible to the ear, but upon entering Fang Xiaoyu's ears, the attack was incredibly potent.
At this moment, Fang Xiaoyu's figure, which had been a blur, suddenly stopped. She then felt a fierce attack on her sea of consciousness and soul. In just an instant, Fang Xiaoyu felt her mind go blank, and then she passed out.
Fang Xiaoyu fell to the ground powerlessly. Chai Lian and the other two immediately flew over and surrounded her.
"The overclocked sonic cannon has taken effect. Retract the attack."
Chai Lian ordered the flying ship to retract the sonic cannon, then said to his two junior brothers,
"Attach the cultivation suppressor to her. We're returning to headquarters now."
The two junior brothers quickly took out two items. One was a ring emitting a blue light, which was placed on Fang Xiaoyu's neck. The other was a pair of handcuffs, which were placed on her wrists.
"Boss, what about that guy named Wan Lei? Did you forget?"
One junior brother called out to Chai Lian.
Hearing this, Chai Lian immediately stopped and looked at Fang Xiaoyu. However, since she was now unconscious, he knew he wouldn't be able to get anything out of her.
"You two, tell me honestly, where is Wan Lei?"
Chai Lian was asking Gou Er and Gou San, who had been injured by the combat fluctuations and rescued.
"He went with our eldest brother to get something."
"Explain clearly."
"In an independent space, that's our warehouse. But only our eldest brother can enter; none of us can."
Gou Er said quickly.
In reality, the three brothers could all enter that warehouse, and he knew the formations and runes involved. However, according to their boss's plan, that kid should have been killed by their boss by now.
They dared not let the Five Elements Hall enforcement team in to find evidence of their boss committing murder.
After all, according to the laws of the Five Elements Hall, even if it was self-defense, as long as there was a subjective intent to kill, it was a crime. Moreover, these brothers had not been clean-handed over the years.
