There is no blue cloud under the blue sky (10)

"East, focus your energy," Zhu Ming suddenly called out. Xu Xing looked eastward and indeed spotted a tiny crack. He quickly raised his hand, pressed a spell, and injected spiritual energy into the barrier, vanishing the crack.

Zhu Ming is worthy of being the number one swordsman on the Floating Island. Even though his body is so weak, his perception of spiritual power is still strong.

"Do you have a compass? The positioning technique can reveal Lou Ze's weaknesses. We must resolve the issue at Lou Mansion immediately. The barrier of the floating island is damaged, and it will attract countless spirits from the lower realm. Time is running out." She said calmly.

Xu Xing's compass was with Li Zhaoyue, and since he had to maintain the barrier, he couldn't use it with his hands. He said, "Ayue also knows the art of positioning. You can let her try."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Ming's face flashed with surprise, and he asked, "Do you know the art of positioning?"

Her expression was serious and not very joyful.

Li Zhaoyue's urgency to tell her about this faded. Confused, she looked at her master's solemn expression and whispered, "I've tried using the positioning technique before and it worked. Don't worry, master. I can give it a try."

"Then let's give it a try. This is the only way now." Zhu Ming said, returning to his expressionless look.

Xu Xing looked at what was happening here, a slight smile on his face. He pretended to be anxious and said to Li Zhaoyue, "Let's get started."

Li Zhaoyue nodded, carefully took the compass out of his arms, sat on the ground, and began to sense the changes around him.

The mirror appeared again on the Tree of Destiny, but this time, it appeared farther away. She had no time to find out the reason why the mirror appeared again, and was eager to find Lou Ze's weakness.

There were countless passages between the tree branches, and in a trance, she saw Zhu Ming.

It was a tiny fragment of memory. The Tree of Destiny carried the fate of everyone in the world, and sometimes some memory fragments would fall out, just like this one, which had Zhu Ming's face in it.

It was the younger Zhu Ming. She was still a girl at that time, and her eyes and eyebrows hinted at her current calmness, but because she was too young, it seemed as if she was pretending to be steady.

Opposite her stood a young man in black, smiling and rubbing her head, looking very intimate.

Li Zhaoyue had never heard of Zhu Ming's emotional experience, so she took a few more glances at him and memorized his appearance. Then, she turned her attention back to the main branch and concentrated on finding Lou Ze's weaknesses.

The tree branches emitting a faint yellow light went straight ahead and brought her to a brief memory.

"It must be tiring to be a member of the Lou family?" The man in black took out a bone in front of Lou Ze and asked.

This person actually ignored the many layers of formations set up by the Lou family, entered the hall of the Lou mansion directly, and even took away the Lou family's sacred object - the divine bone.

The divine bone is so precious. It was a gift bestowed by God to the four major families. Lou Ze set up so many formations, but this guy got it effortlessly.

"Who are you? How come you have the bones of my Lou family's ancestor in your hands? You must have taken them by mistake. If you return them to the rightful owner now, we will not do anything to you." Lou Ze suppressed the turmoil in his heart and said calmly.

"Yours? The founder of the Lou family?" The man played with the bone nonchalantly and sneered.

"I know that you have extraordinary abilities and can break so many layers of barriers in my Lou family. You are truly an extraordinary person. I am willing to pay a large sum of money in exchange for you joining the Lou family and becoming an elder of the Lou family. How about this?" Lou Ze asked tentatively.

There are many arrogant and capable people among the people. They are often tired of the standards of the immortal families and organizations. They teach themselves and travel around. Some even take pleasure in bringing shame to the families. This person looks similar to those casual cultivators.

These people are often short-sighted and have a high opinion of themselves. Lou Ze thought that by tempting them with money, he might be able to trick them into handing over the divine bone.

The man seemed to be tempted by his offer and asked, "Are you serious?"

Lou Ze sneered in his heart, but pretended to be respectful on the surface. He said, "Of course it's true. The Lou family is the most honest among the aristocratic families. This is well-known on Floating Island. If you can return the ashes of the ancestor to me, I will fulfill my promise, okay?"

Hearing this, the man laughed heartily, clutched the divine bone tightly, and put it into his clothes on his chest, as if he would never return it.

Seeing that he didn't know what was good for him, Lou Ze stopped trying to persuade him and waved his hand to call people over.

"I know you're worried about the Lou family curse. I can help you."

The man's words stunned him.

How could the Lou family let an outsider know about the curse?

Lou Ze stood up quickly, drew the sword from his waist, pointed it at him and was about to stab him.

The man was as nimble as a slippery fish, so agile that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't be stabbed. After a few rounds, it was Lou Ze who was exhausted. The man in black, his spiritual energy overflowing, chuckled softly.

"It's a good deal to trade the divine bone for the hope of survival."

Because of this curse, nearly all of the Lou family's outstanding sons and daughters were sealed within the formation upon reaching adulthood, prolonging the duration of the patriarch's curse. Furthermore, Cangyun City was located on the border of the barrier, and spiritual rebellions were common. Each time these incidents were dealt with, many disciples were lost. Over time, the number of disciples in the Lou family dwindled.

The curse also resulted in a reduction in outstanding talents in the Lou family, which to a certain extent increased the risk of the Lou family's skills being lost.

For Lou Ze, finding a solution to the curse is urgent.

After a long time, Li Zhaoyue saw Lou Ze nodded, and the man in black handed him something, which was also a piece of bone, very similar to the divine bone.

"This thing can absorb the resentment of the Lou family in the past. At the same time, with the blood of tens of thousands of people, the Lou family curse can be broken."

The man's figure gradually faded away, and at the same time, a familiar formation appeared on the ground.

Li Zhaoyue looked carefully and found that it was the formation she saw in Yan's room in the corridor.

After a brief flash of red light, she pulled herself out of her memories. At the same time, the branches of the Tree of Destiny slowly floated, revealing Lou Ze's flaws.

That bone is the source of everything.

Li Zhaoyue opened his eyes and quickly recounted what had just happened. Zhu Ming pondered for a moment, his gaze settling on Xu Xing's fluttering sleeves. On the boy's exposed skin was a tiny lotus mark.

Zhu Ming's eyes flashed with a dark light, and he said, "Lou Ze can suddenly burst out with such power. He can only hide that bone between his eyebrows. The vital point of a cultivator is in the eyebrows. You can just pierce his eyebrows with your sword."

"I have half my strength restored. I can take you to him."

"Okay." Xu Xing agreed readily.

"Have you forgotten about me?" Loudao Yan was silent for a long time. As soon as he spoke, the three of them were startled.

"Don't forget, I still have the Sword of the First Sun in my hand." He waved the sword in his hand, "I can lend you a hand."

"You?" Xu Xing chuckled. "You're also a member of the Lou family. It's fine if you don't stab me in the back, but you're helping me?"

This guy!

Lou Daoyan gritted his teeth secretly. This guy must still be holding a grudge. He just brought Li Zhaoyue here, so why is he so petty?

"I just hope everything can get back on track. Before I was locked up, my biggest wish was to protect the floating island. Although now..."

He paused, a trace of loneliness flashing in his eyes: "Although I am no longer talented now, I will do what I can."

Xu Xing sneered, raised his chin and said, "Then please lead the way."

Lou Daoyan held the Chu Ri Sword and flew out of the barrier like a flying swallow. The sword in his hand almost became an afterimage, and quickly cut off the black air gathered around the barrier.

"Ah!" Lou Ze let out a strange cry, and then the ground suddenly began to shake and crack, and a magnificent palace slowly emerged from the ground.

"Master, that's the underground palace we've been to!" Li Zhaoyue shouted, pointing at the half-surfaced underground palace.

She had a hunch that something was wrong with this underground palace and hoped to alert her master and Xu Xing by shouting.

Zhu Ming stared at the palace intently, his eyes not filled with anxiety but a strange obsession.

"Master?" She called out to Zhu Ming's shoulder in confusion.

Zhu Ming seemed to have come back to his senses. Still staring at the palace, he said, "It's almost there."

"Master, are you saying Xu Xing is about to stab Lou Ze?"

Zhu Ming retracted his gaze, carefully looking at the pure trust and confidence on Li Zhaoyue's face, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said gently: "Yes."

"It will be ready soon."

This sounded a bit strange. Li Zhaoyue frowned, ignored the discomfort that flashed through his heart, and looked at Xu Xing again.

The young man was dressed in green, like a green leaf in the rolling waves of the river, rising against the waves. Gradually, the green leaf condensed into a sword and pierced mercilessly into the heart of the giant beast at the bottom of the river.

Lou Ze roared, and then the dark clouds in the sky shattered, turning into black water that flowed down. From the dark clouds, a piece of bone slowly floated out and landed in Xu Xing's palm.

He held the sword, shook off the water and blood stains on it, and walked towards Li Zhaoyue.

At the same time, the door to the underground palace was thrown open, and all the missing disciples ran out. Seeing Zhu Ming outside, they obviously relaxed their vigilance and all collapsed to the ground in exhaustion.

Zhu Ming felt that his strength had almost recovered, so he stood up and cast a spell, and the barrier above Cangyun City began to heal rapidly.

She raised her right hand slightly, reached back, and easily caught the talisman book from Huashangguan.

She held the Sword of Broken Thoughts in her palm and mercilessly plunged it into Hua Shangguan's arm. The intense pain made him more conscious. Just as he was wondering why he had met Zhu Ming like this, he saw Feng Ran stabbing her in the back with a sword.

"careful!"

As soon as he said that, the Sword of Broken Thoughts turned and pierced Feng Ran's lower abdomen at an incredible angle.

Immediately afterwards, Su Zi, who was holding the divine weapon cone, and Ye Luan, who was controlling everyone with the "Don't Move" command, were subdued.

The puppet thread broke, and everyone finally regained consciousness.

"Elder Zhu, we are the ones who have caused the trouble." Hua Shangguan lowered his head and said in shame.

"This is not your fault. Lou Ze is ruthless." Zhu Ming said, pointing at Lou Ze who was seriously injured and vomiting blood.

"The barrier on the Cangyun City side has been damaged on a large scale. I don't know how many spiritual people have entered. You should all follow me to quell the rebellion." Zhu Ming said.

The four of them looked at each other, forced themselves to bear the pain, and nodded.

Before leaving, Zhu Ming looked at Xu Xing meaningfully.
