Seeing Lu Yiyi's face full of disbelief, Patriarch Fan continued:

"I've long heard that the Xuanwu Sect has a breathtakingly unique technique that involves placing a witch seed into the body of a young cauldron to absorb its mysterious Yin energy.

When the witch seed has grown, it can be taken out and refined to greatly advance one's cultivation technique. Rumor has it that it can even push a warrior at the beginning of the Heavenly Realm to the peak of the Heavenly Realm."

Patriarch Fan scoffed as he spoke, "It's a pity that the Xuanwu Sect's leader is already at the peak of the Heavenly Realm. How can we allow the young leader to also reach the peak of the Heavenly Realm? If that happens, wouldn't the entire Central Plains become the Xuanwu Sect's world?"

Lu Yiyi's face had turned pale at this time, and she said disappointedly: "Master, are these true?"

The Scorpio girl hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything. Finally, she explained with a stiff upper lip:

"Yiyi, Master has no other choice. A behemoth like the Xuanwu Sect can wipe out the Lu family in the blink of an eye. Do you think we have any room to resist?"

Besides, the furnace secret technique only removes the Xuanyin energy in your body and will never harm your life. Most importantly, the young master has promised that you will be the well-deserved master's wife in the future. This is a position that many girls dream of! "

She spoke faster and faster, almost frantically, "Yiyi, as long as you can serve the Young Master well, who in the Central Plains will dare to touch our Lu family in the future?"

"Master!" Lu Yiyi choked and stopped him, squatting on the ground and crying with her face covered, her heart falling into an ice cave.

"Okay, I didn't come here to tell you all this. I must take her away today!" The head of the Fan family shouted and took an attacking posture.

"You're dreaming!" the Scorpion Girl sternly said, "Fan, you think you can take Yiyi away by yourself? I promise that the Young Sect Master will make you live a life worse than death!"

"Haha, I, Fan Wuyan, have always been cautious and careful in what I do. How could I be the only one here?"

Just as he finished speaking, three or four men walked in from outside. The powerful aura on their bodies was at least at the peak of the Earth Realm.

Several people surrounded Scorpion Girl and others from four directions, forming a corresponding encirclement.

"This time, we, the four major families of the Central Plains, have joined forces. In addition to the Fan family, there are also the Bai family, the Li family, and the Wang family!"

With every new family that Fan Wuyan mentioned, the Scorpion Woman's eyes became more fearful.

Although her heart was already filled with turmoil, she still said with a gloomy expression, "Even if the four major families joined forces, what could they do? They are no match for the Xuanwu Sect. When the Young Sect Master takes action, the four major families will be reduced to ashes in an instant."

"Haha." Fan Wuyan's face showed no fear at all. He looked up to the sky and roared, "Aren't you surprised that the four major families have joined forces, but only I, Fan Wuyan, am standing here?"

The Scorpio woman's alarm bells rang loudly, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

The next second, Fan Wuyan sneered and said, "The other three families have already sent more than a dozen masters to kill the young master. Even if they can't kill him, they can at least hold him off for a few days.

This period of time is enough for me to take Lu Yiyi away, and then the Xuanwu Sect’s wishful thinking will be in vain.”

Hearing this, the Scorpion Girl's face became more serious than ever before. She suddenly pushed Lu Yiyi to Wu Bai's side and said sternly:

"Wu Bai, I'll hold them back. Hurry up and take Yi Yi away to seek refuge in the Xuanwu Sect!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the hundreds of poisonous scorpions under the feet of the scorpion woman seemed to have received some kind of order. They all raised their tails and made a heart-pounding trembling sound, waiting for the order from the scorpion woman to suddenly attack.

After the scorpion girl recited an ancient and vast spell, balls of black liquid suddenly shot out from the scorpion's tail and shot towards Fan Wuyan and the other three.

"Get out of the way! This strange liquid is actually corrosive." Fan Wuyan and others dodged to the side and hid behind cover.

This undoubtedly bought precious time for Wu Bai to escape with Lu Yiyi. By the time Fan Wuyan and others reacted, Wu Bai had already disappeared in the courtyard with Lu Yiyi.

......

Long Yi rushed all the way following the light in his mind and happened to run into Wu Bai who was running at high speed on the vast plain. He pushed Lu Yiyi's shoulder with his right hand and even consumed his own essence to speed up.

"What...what's going on?"

Long Yi was completely confused. Wu Bai was like a wolfhound chasing him relentlessly. Even stopping to catch his breath was an extreme luxury.

"Isn't this middle-aged man Lu Yiyi's uncle? How could he run away with his own niece?"

"Damn it! A good dog doesn't block the road!"

There are usually no pedestrians on this plain, but now a figure suddenly jumped out and blocked the way. When Wu Bai saw it at first glance, he was also shocked.

He originally thought that it was someone from the Fan family who had ambushed and intercepted them, but when he got closer, he found out that it was Long Yi, the boy who had sent Lu Yiyi home before.

'Why is this guy here?'

Not only Wu Bai, but even Lu Yiyi's pretty face showed a hint of surprise.

Even local hunters wouldn't easily set foot in such a desolate place, let alone Long Yi who has no martial arts skills.

At this moment, Long Yi's heart was filled with alarm, and he stared at the northeast corner with a serious expression.

Since he cultivated his divine consciousness, with the increase of Xuantian true qi in his body, his sensing range has far exceeded that of warriors of the same level. Like an eagle, he can easily detect what is happening within a three-kilometer radius around him.

In Long Yi's spiritual perception, at this moment, a domineering off-road vehicle was speeding from the grassland not far away. Because there was no one on the road, the engine of the off-road vehicle was running at its maximum speed, like a roaring beast, roaring at a speed of 200 kilometers per hour.

Wu Bai, who was running wildly, seemed to have heard the noise and stopped desperately. After putting Lu Yiyi on the ground, he gasped and said:

"Stay as far away from me as possible now. I will do my best to attract their attention and ensure that you escape safely!"

After he finished speaking, he coughed up a mouthful of blood from his chest, which sprayed onto the ground and dyed the withered grass bright red.

Wu Bai seemed to be worried about Lu Yiyi leaving alone. He turned to look at Long Yi and said anxiously:

"You... weren't you the friend who sent Miss Lu home after the drinking party? Now someone wants to kill her. You must take her away quickly, the farther the better!"

Lu Yiyi took a deep look at Wu Bai who was running for his life with her, and felt mixed emotions.

Although she had hated the young master of Xuanwu Sect to the core, she also hated Wu Bai who was always monitoring her.

But what she didn't expect was that this man was willing to sacrifice himself to find a way out for her at the critical moment of life and death.
