"Are you really confident you can find Shan Yu?"
Seventh Master looked at Lu Tao with some suspicion.
Even with his cultivation at the peak of Martial God level, he couldn't find Shan Yu and Lu Tao, who were hiding in the Daqian territory... Although they were talented, had great potential, and were strong.
Finding someone is not really related to these things.
Even if one cultivates martial arts skills like clairvoyance and clairaudience, and transforms them into supernatural powers, one still cannot find Shan Yu.
otherwise.
His true form would have already found and killed Shan Yu long ago, so there wouldn't be so many problems now.
not to mention.
Shan Yu also hid all the Grandmasters and Divine Platform experts he controlled.
Finding these people, and Shan Yu, is extremely difficult.
Most importantly, Seventh Master is worried that if Shan Yu enslaves these powerful individuals, he might use his enslavement techniques to force them to self-destruct at the slightest sign of trouble.
If it were in a deserted place, it would be fine, but if it were in a city...
The losses would be devastating.
Therefore.
During this period, the royal family did not launch a large-scale search for these people, nor did they launch a full-scale attack on the ancient barbarian kingdom.
The reason was that they didn't want to provoke Shan Yu and cause him to fight to the death.
Lu Tao smiled faintly and said, "Let's give it a try."
He didn't explain further.
Before finding Shan Yu, saying too much is just boasting. If we don't find him, it would be like slapping ourselves in the face. There's no need for that.
"Alright, but be careful."
Seventh Master nodded and handed a jade slip to Lu Tao.
After these people disappeared, the royal family conducted a thorough search, but found no trace of them and gave up.
However, their spiritual aura and soul aura were still preserved.
This was the perfect opportunity to hand it over to Lu Tao.
immediately.
Seventh Master then instructed, "Lu Tao, I don't know what Shan Yu's purpose is, but it's probably nothing more than using the lives of these people or my vast population to negotiate with me. When you search, remember to be careful. If you find any trace of him, you must not provoke him. You can let me talk to him."
"Don't worry, Seventh Master, I understand all of this."
Lu Tao nodded.
Shan Yu is now like a criminal, holding hostages and not wanting them to suffer losses; at the same time, these hostages are both bombs and threats, and Shan Yu is also unwilling to cause more casualties.
It's normal for Seventh Master to have reservations.
but.
Lu Tao had planned for this long ago.
"Seventh Master, wait for my good news."
Lu Tao nodded to Seventh Master, put away He Zongming and the cave, left a message, and then flew away from the secret realm.
"Shan Yu, I hope you can make the right choice, otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Seventh Master watched Lu Tao's departing figure and murmured to himself.
If Shan Yu is found by Lu Tao and chooses to fight to the death, then Da Gan need not worry about anything else and can directly send troops to attack the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom and destroy it.
Great acts of kindness are reserved only for one's own people.
If Shan Yu doesn't know what's good for him, then the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom has no reason to continue existing.
As one of the powerful figures in the region, don't let Seventh Master's easygoing nature fool you; he's not someone to be trifled with.

"Xiaotian, try to find Shan Yu."
Lu Tao flew in mid-air, concealing his figure. At the same time, he secretly instructed Xiaotian Dog to search for Shan Yu's whereabouts again through Shan Yu's spiritual aura.
"Boss, watch me."
The celestial dog barked and grinned, then began to use its sense of smell to search for Shan Yu.
"search!"
The Celestial Hound stood beside Lu Tao and took a deep breath through its nose.
Instantly.
Countless scents, like a tide, surged into its nostrils.
With its greatly increased cultivation level, the Celestial Hound possesses even stronger innate abilities and can search a wider area.
The Celestial Hound discerned these complex scents, constantly investigating.
The next moment...
"We've found him!"
The Celestial Hound's eyes suddenly lit up, and it followed one of the faint, almost negligible auras.
Lu Tao's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly followed.
A moment later.
Following the scent, the Celestial Hound arrived at a city. It sniffed the air, pointed to a huge courtyard in the city, and transmitted its voice, "Boss, Shan Yu is in this courtyard."
"Alright, Shan Yu, I've finally found you, you little rat."
Lu Tao was overjoyed and said, "Let him enjoy himself for a while longer. Let's go find the others first."
Next.
Lu Tao then instructed Xiaotian Dog to use the aura contained in the jade slip to search for the whereabouts of the other missing persons.
The dragon clan's enslavement techniques are very powerful. With just a thought, they can control their servants to do anything through the enslavement mark.
Despite Lu Tao's strength, he was unsure of Shan Yu's methods. He worried that if he couldn't kill Shan Yu instantly and gave him even a moment to think, those enslaved people might not survive.
Therefore, Lu Tao chose the safest method.
First, find the others and free them from slavery and control.
result.
The search revealed this.
These people were all arranged by Shan Yu in some cities, which were relatively remote and lacked powerful experts, but had a large population.
and.
These enslaved people all hid within the city, concealing their presence and remaining as quiet as ordinary people.
"This guy is using these people as human bombs, ready to explode at any time."
Lu Tao remained silent.
However, it must be said that Shan Yu is ruthless enough. He has also grasped the weakness of the Da Gan royal family. Once he discovers something is wrong, or if Da Gan launches a full-scale attack on the Ancient Barbarian Kingdom, he will make these people self-destruct, causing Da Gan to suffer heavy losses.
because.
The number of Grandmasters and Divine Platform experts enslaved by Shan Yu was as high as five thousand.
The self-destruction of a grandmaster and a divine platform, especially within a city, demonstrates the immense power of such an event.
As for the number of casualties...
Five thousand cities, even if each city has only one hundred thousand people, that's five hundred million. And some cities have far more than that.
Take Mufeng City as an example.
It is just a border city, but its population has reached hundreds of thousands.
Dan Yu, on the other hand, chose cities with large populations.
Next.
Lu Tao gathered the disciples of the Immortal Sect, along with their clones, and taught them the method of breaking free from control and enslavement.
at the same time.
Lu Tao handed out a large number of communication beads to everyone, one for each person. He had marked each bead with his own communication mark, and told the disciples to wait for his message.
Whenever Xiaotian Dog finds someone to be enslaved, Lu Tao arranges for an Immortal Sect disciple or clone to lie in wait beside them.
That's how it is.
The search by the Howling Celestial Dog was so extensive that it covered almost all the prefectures and cities of Da Gan.
It took the Celestial Hound a whole day to find all the enslaved people.
"That's ruthless. If they all self-destructed, at least a billion people would die."
After the search was completed, even the Celestial Dog couldn't help but click its tongue in amazement.
A single self-destruction could result in the loss of a billion people—how terrifying!
No country could accept such a loss.
Lu Tao's expression also turned somewhat serious.
fortunately.
If they hadn't been able to find Shan Yu back then, this guy might have really gone so far as to make all of them self-destruct, which would have been a huge loss.
At the same time, Lu Tao was also glad that he had made a prudent choice.
Fortunately, after finding Shan Yu, they didn't rush to kill him. Otherwise, if that guy had had time to react, those billion people would have been wiped out.
The result would be utterly devastating.
Just thinking about it sent chills down Lu Tao's spine.
At the same time, Lu Tao's killing intent towards Shan Yu intensified.
"Let's go, it's time to settle accounts with him."
Lu Tao, accompanied by the Howling Celestial Dog, flew back to Shan Yu's hiding place.
Both the man and the dog were wearing invisibility cloaks and hiding outside the courtyard.
then.
Lu Tao directly used the communication bead to send a message to the Immortal Sect disciples and their clones, instructing them: "Immediately release everyone from enslavement and control!"
In that instant.
Throughout the entire Da Gan territory, in more than 5,000 cities, the disciples and avatars of the Immortal Sect who were lying in wait received orders and took unified action.
Before these enslaved people could even react, they were instantly brought under control.
at the same time.
He unleashed a series of spells at it.
Puff puff puff—
The disciples and clones of the Immortal Sect are all extremely powerful. They can easily unleash the control-breaking spell in the blink of an eye.
As the incantation was performed.
The enslavement and control within these people's souls were instantly released, and they regained their freedom.
They themselves were completely bewildered, then overjoyed.
"I... am free?"
"The marks of enslavement are gone?"
"Thank you for saving my life, senior. Please tell me your name..."
By the time they realized what had happened and were about to thank the person who saved their lives, they found that the person had already left and disappeared.
It was as if none of this had ever happened.
If the mark of enslavement in their soul sea hadn't disappeared, they would have almost thought it was all a dream.
——
"wrong!"
On the other side.
Inside the courtyard, Shan Yu was in seclusion, cultivating. He had fully recovered his Martial King cultivation and was attempting to break through to the Martial God realm, hoping that the bottleneck would be broken soon.
But suddenly.
While in seclusion, Shan Yu sensed that the marks of enslavement he had placed on others were disappearing.
Dan Yu instinctively wanted to order the others to self-destruct...
What shocked and angered him was that in that very instant...
The enslavement marks on the Grandmasters and Divine Platform experts he controlled had all dissipated, rendering them unable to issue any commands.
However, the few innate cultivators who were present at his command self-destructed.
In that instant.
Even with Shan Yu's composure, he was momentarily stunned.
Clearly, this was an organized and premeditated action specifically targeting him.
"not good!"
Dan Yu instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
If they could accurately identify those Grandmasters and Divine Platforms, they would have a very high chance of finding his hiding place. Shan Yu reacted extremely quickly, rushing out of the room in an instant. Without packing anything, he was about to soar into the sky and escape from Da Gan.
but--
Just then, a calm voice reached Shan Yu's ears.
"Shan Yu, where are you going? I'll give you a ride!"
