When Lu Yuan mentioned leaving home, Jiang Xiujie and the others were all stunned.

"Why did you know to leave home?!"

Jiang Xiujie stared wide-eyed in disbelief, his eyes filled with a complex mix of surprise and shock.

Nothing more.

It's just that the name of leaving home is too special in the myriad realms, almost a taboo existence.

Especially the series of events that happened recently have made Li Jia's position in the Myriad Realms Heaven even more delicate.

But only the celestial beings of the myriad realms know these things. How could Lu Yuan, who is in the Ling'an Continent, have ever heard of the Li family's name?

Looking at the shocked Jiang Xiujie and the others, Lu Yuan's eyes darkened slightly.

It seems that the background of leaving home is more complicated than he imagined, which is why Jiang Xiujie and the others showed such expressions.

Seeing that Lu Yuan remained silent, Zheng Ran's expression grew increasingly gloomy.

"Who exactly are you?"

Lu Yuan smiled slightly at him upon hearing this.

"You came here for the secrets of the Divine Beast Pavilion, didn't you? You haven't even investigated who I am?"

Zheng Ran fell silent upon hearing this.

Before taking action, they had, of course, thoroughly investigated Lu Yuan's identity.

The eldest son of the Lu family, the leading family among the four great families in the capital, was expected to achieve great things, but he never managed to awaken his talent for beast taming. As a result, he was abandoned by his family and sent to Yunlei City to take over a branch store when he was twenty years old.

He did not return to the capital until the family competition, and won the championship with an overwhelming victory.

He became the new heir of the Lu family.

Instead of joining the Lu Group or studying at Longteng Academy, he came to Yandu to take over a pet shop and opened a mythical beast auction house.

Nowadays.

Both the Divine Beast Pavilion and the Divine Beast Auction House have become one of the most important shop industries in Yandu.

Judging from these achievements alone, Lu Yuan is actually a very outstanding young man.

If Lu Yuan were willing to cooperate, Zheng Ran even wanted to recruit him to serve the Jiang family.

But now.

Lu Yuan actually brought up the topic of leaving home.

This suggests that Lu Yuan likely knows about the affairs of the Myriad Realms Heaven, and may even be related to other forces within it.

If that's the case, then Lu Yuan's life cannot be spared!

Thinking of this, Zheng Ran's expression turned ferocious.

"I was thinking of sparing your life, but it seems you're going to die here today! But before that, tell me the secret of raising divine beasts!"

After saying that.

Without giving Lu Yuan any chance to react, Zheng Ran formed a claw with one hand and attacked Lu Yuan fiercely.

!!

Lu Yuan's expression hardened, and he quickly retreated, barely managing to dodge Zheng Ran's attack, but his shoulder was still inevitably scratched by the claw wind, leaving a bloody mark.

Looking at the wound on his shoulder, Lu Yuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable.

Zheng Ran's movements and speed were somewhat unusual, completely unlike the attacks that a normal beast tamer could use.

After mastering the sword-drawing technique, Lu Yuan's speed and physical movements were unmatched by ordinary beast tamers.

He had clearly reacted very quickly to avoid Zheng Ran's attack, but he was still scratched by the opponent's claws.

Under normal circumstances, this is absolutely impossible.

so.

This likely indicates that Zheng Ran also cultivated a fairly high-level technique.

And its level should be no lower than rank 5!

Fifth-order cultivation technique.

Although its level is not as high as the sword-drawing technique, it is still a very rare high-level skill compared to others.

Based on what Lu Yuan has seen and heard so far, apart from the Divine Beast Auction House which auctions cultivation techniques of the fifth rank or higher, the only other place where such techniques occasionally appear is the auction held by Treasure City.

However, if Treasure City were to auction a fifth-tier cultivation technique, it would inevitably publicize it, attracting the attention of various major powers.

As far as he knew, Treasure City hadn't auctioned a fifth-tier cultivation technique in a long time.

In other words...

The fifth-tier cultivation technique that the other party is practicing was not obtained in the Ling'an Continent.

Most importantly.

Judging from Zheng Ran's attitude towards Jiang Xiujie, his status in the Jiang family is not high; he is more like a subordinate who is being groomed separately.

Even with such a background, he was able to cultivate a fifth-tier technique.

This clearly demonstrates how abundant the cultivation resources of the Myriad Realms Heaven are compared to those of the Spiritual Peace Continent!

Zheng Ran only used one palm strike.

Lu Yuan had already obtained so much information from it.

On the other hand, Jiang Xiujie was furious because Zheng Ran's attack had failed.

"Zheng Ran, what are you doing? You can't even kill this kid in one hit?!"

Ignoring Jiang Xiujie's words, Zheng Ran looked down at her hands with a surprised expression.

He could sense that Lu Yuan's strength was around the Heavenly Evolution level, but for some reason he couldn't sense the exact level. However, he was certain that it wouldn't be very high.

After all, Lu Yuan is just a young man who has just turned twenty, and he was born in Ling'an Continent, a place with scarce spiritual energy. His level is unlikely to exceed that of Jiang Xiujie.

Even though he didn't use his full strength in that attack, it was more than enough to deal with a kid at the Heavenly Evolution level.

But how was Lu Yuan able to dodge it so skillfully?

Before Zheng Ran could think it through, the middle-aged man next to him made a decisive move, heading straight for Lu Yuan's vital point.

The goal is very simple.

Forget everything else, let's capture Lu Yuan alive first!

Upon seeing this.

Ignoring the wound on his shoulder, Lu Yuan quickly dodged backward.

His idea was very simple.

That's just stalling for time!

The opposing side has three Illusion God-level Beast Tamers. Even Jiang Xiujie, who has the lowest strength level, has the strength of the Heaven Evolution level. He definitely cannot rescue the Wu family father and son from these four people on his own. He may even lose his own life.

Half an hour had passed since he sent the message to Mu Ruxing.

If I just hold on for another twenty minutes or so, Mu Ruxing should arrive with her people, and then things will be much easier.

Therefore, before that, he should try his best to avoid direct confrontation with the other party and delay as much as possible!

Having figured this out, Lu Yuan poured as much spiritual energy as possible into his swift boots, moving back and forth in the abandoned factory at an extremely fast speed.

at the same time.

To avoid being discovered that he was trying to stall for time, he would occasionally unleash a few skills at Zheng Ran and the others.

Nevertheless.

After chasing them for two laps, Zheng Ran and the others still discovered something strange.

Blanch!

"Why is this kid just running away? Is he treating us like fools?"

Upon hearing this, Zheng Ran immediately realized what was happening.

"No! He's stalling for time!"

Zheng Ran's face was gloomy.

He should have thought of that sooner!

This kid followed them to the factory, definitely to save the Wu father and son, but they've already circled the factory twice, and Lu Yuan is still only focused on escaping, showing no sign of trying to save them.

Combined with all the inappropriate nonsense Lu Yuan had said earlier.

Is there anything else you don't understand?

"This kid has been stalling for time ever since he was first discovered. He must have found other helpers to rush here!"

"What?!" Jiang Xiujie cursed angrily upon hearing this, "That brat really thinks I'm a fool!"

Without time to pay attention to the furious Jiang Xiujie, Zheng Ran quickly gave instructions to the other two.

"We can't delay any longer, we need to catch that kid right now!"
