"Your Excellency, young friend, now that this matter is settled, I shall take my leave." Seeing that the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder was actually scared away by Yi Qin's single sentence, Lei Yuan Zheng felt uneasy and clasped his fists in farewell.
Li Xuan nodded slightly and then looked at Yi Qin, saying, "Senior, the Heavenly Thunder Sect's affairs are almost settled, but the Lihuo Sect has not yet been dealt with."
Lei Yuan Zheng and Lei Tian Zong were stunned. Their steps, which had just moved forward, stopped. What was going on? There was still the Lihuo Sect? With this thought, Lei Yuan Zheng waved his hand and pulled a Heavenly Thunder Sect disciple over, whispering to ask. Soon, Lei Yuan Zheng and Lei Tian Zong understood the whole story.
"Take him back, imprison him in the Cold Abyss, and never release him for the rest of his life!"
Upon learning that the matter was instigated by Bu Jing Lei, Lei Yuan Zheng directly issued the order. In the next moment, two Heavenly Thunder Sect disciples captured Bu Jing Lei. Bu Jing Lei, who had already been scared witless by Yi Qin's appearance, did not resist at all. Then, with a loud laugh, he severed his own meridians and died.
"Lihuo Sect, point me in the direction." Yi Qin glanced at Lei Yuan Zheng and then spoke.
Lei Yuan Zheng couldn't help but groan. He wished he had left earlier. Now, under Yi Qin's gaze, Lei Yuan Zheng had no choice but to point in the direction of the Lihuo Sect, saying, "A thousand li from here is the sect of the Lihuo Sect."
Li Xuan looked at Yi Qin with some curiosity. Was Senior Yi Qin going to take him to attack the Lihuo Sect?
However, in the next moment, Li Xuan and everyone else present were stunned. Yi Qin reached out towards the void, and the spiritual energy in heaven and earth instantly surged forth. In the next moment, a sword formed of spiritual energy, as if tangible, appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Go!"
As the spirit sword solidified, Yi Qin pointed his finger. Under everyone's gaze, the spirit sword formed of spiritual energy tore through the sky and shot directly towards the Lihuo Sect.
"Alright, it's resolved." Yi Qin said casually after a few breaths.
Li Xuan: "..."
Everyone else: "..."
Whoosh!
At this moment, a sound of breaking through the air echoed. In the next instant, a middle-aged woman appeared before everyone's eyes.
"Sect Master!"
Hua Gu Qian and Mu Dan, upon seeing her, hurried forward, bowed, and saluted. As if afraid that Yi Qin would attack Hua Gu Qian, Hua Gu Qian quickly whispered to Yi Qin and Li Xuan about the danger.
"Junior Hua Man Rong greets Senior Tian Zong and Senior Yuan Zheng." Hua Man Rong bowed slightly to Lei Yuan Zheng and Lei Tian Zong.
Lei Yuan Zheng nodded in acknowledgment and then asked with some confusion, "Man Rong, I didn't expect you to have already become the Sect Master. But why are you here?"
Hua Man Rong glanced at Yi Qin with some apprehension and then slowly said, "Just now, the Lihuo Sect is no more. I was worried about the disciples of my sect, so I came here."
The Lihuo Sect is no more!
Everyone gasped, this was news of earthquake-level magnitude. For a moment, everyone's gazes returned to Yi Qin.
Everyone clearly remembered Yi Qin transforming the spiritual energy of heaven and earth into a sword and then shooting it towards the Lihuo Sect just now. Could it be because of that sword?
It was a thousand li away, yet the sect gate was broken with a single sword!
If before, people were in awe of Yi Qin, now it was reverence. Such a method was simply unheard of.
"Young friend, may I be able to take my sect disciples away?" Hua Man Rong seemed unable to accept the news of the Lihuo Sect's destruction. After taking a deep breath, she looked at Li Xuan and asked.
Li Xuan pondered for a moment and then nodded. "I have no grievances with your sect, Sect Master Hua. You can naturally take them away."
"Thank you, young friend. If you have time in the future, you are welcome to visit my Hundred Flowers Sect." Hua Man Rong looked at Li Xuan and then said.
"Okay." Li Xuan nodded. Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he looked at Hua Man Rong and said, "Sect Master Hua, I have something I would like you to clarify."
"What is it?" Hua Man Rong asked with some surprise.
Li Xuan then said, "Several months ago, did anyone from your sect go to the Southern Region? To be frank, my sister was taken away by someone at the Cangyun Sect in the Southern Region, and the person was a woman in black."
"Southern Region, Cangyun Sect... Young friend, I can answer you about this matter. In the past year, no one from my Hundred Flowers Sect has ever gone to the Southern Region." Hua Man Rong shook her head slightly.
Li Xuan frowned. If it really wasn't someone from the Hundred Flowers Sect, then who took Li Yao away? In this Central Region, could it be the Six Great Sacred Lands?
"Young friend, may we leave now?" Seeing that Li Xuan remained silent, Hua Man Rong spoke up.
"Apologies for the disturbance." Li Xuan came back to his senses and nodded. Hua Man Rong bowed to Lei Yuan Zheng and Lei Tian Zong, then turned and left with Mu Dan and others.
"Young friend, we shall take our leave as well." After Hua Man Rong and her group left, Lei Yuan Zheng and Lei Tian Zong clasped their fists and said.
Li Xuan nodded. At this moment, he had no inclination to deal with these people. He had thought that Li Yao was taken by a powerful figure from the Hundred Flowers Sect, but this speculation was now dismissed.
For a moment, Li Xuan felt lost.
It was as if he had worked hard for a long time, but the result was not what he had expected. He had lost his goal and direction.
Disappointment.
Loneliness.
Helplessness.
All sorts of complex emotions spread, and Li Xuan's aura became erratic.
"If you give up on yourself, you'll never find your sister!"
Just then, Yi Qin's voice suddenly sounded in Li Xuan's mind.
Perhaps it was Yi Qin's words that worked, and the confusion in Li Xuan's eyes gradually cleared.
Going berserk!
Li Xuan's first thought upon regaining consciousness was that he had just gone berserk!
"I told you before, being too persistent is not always a good thing. Everything has two sides. Although your sister wasn't at the Hundred Flowers Sect, it can be considered that one possibility has been ruled out."
"Furthermore, the person took your sister instead of killing her directly, which at least means your sister is still alive. As long as she's alive, you still have a chance to find her. If it's not the Hundred Flowers Sect, then look elsewhere. This vast continent isn't that big, are you worried you won't find her?"
Yi Qin said with a hint of disappointment, but when she thought of Li Xuan's feelings for his sister, her tone softened. "Don't be afraid, and don't give up. Don't worry, I'll accompany you until you find your sister."
"Senior, thank you." Li Xuan smiled slightly upon hearing this and bowed to Yi Qin. It was both for her earlier intervention and for her words of encouragement.
"Alright, you can handle the rest yourself now." Yi Qin nodded, then glanced at Liu Jia Qi, who was still standing by waiting, and disappeared.
"Miss Jia Qi, why haven't you left yet?" As Yi Qin returned to Zhenyu, Li Xuan's gaze shifted to Liu Jia Qi and he asked.
Liu Jia Qi was silent for a moment and then said, "Leave?"
Li Xuan was taken aback but soon nodded. "Let's go then."
