Tuoba San and I exchanged a glance, both thinking of the jade pendant. Perhaps the problem lay with this jade pendant…
If that's the case, many things can be explained...
The Heavenly Court was after the jade pendant; their annihilation of the Tuoba family was merely a cover-up to silence witnesses…
If the people who raise blood slaves are located within the Forbidden Land of the Gods, then it means that the Forbidden Land of the Gods is not just a forbidden area; it might be the hiding place of the Heavenly Kingdom's Divine Court...
It was made a forbidden area simply to cover up its true nature...
The Black Crow's pursuit was purely accidental. We accidentally killed the power projection on the altar, which angered the person behind it, who was unwilling to lose the blood slaves, so they sent people to kill us to vent their anger...
This also illustrates one thing: the other side doesn't know that the two groups they're targeting are actually the same group of us...
At this moment, many things went smoothly, but a new problem arose: if the people of the Heavenly Court were hiding in the Forbidden Land of the Gods, they would eventually find out that both of their enemies were us…
"I suspect the reason the nine major sects have issued the order to find the Sealing Stone is to lure out the powerful figures of the Heavenly Kingdom's Divine Court. Therefore, we must also compete for this Sealing Stone..."
I said with a smile…
Murong Xuanxuan looked at me in disbelief, thinking to herself, "Are you looking for death?"
Before she could express her opinion, Tuoba San agreed.
"I must get involved; anyone who stands in my way will die..."
Murong Xuanxuan understood Shi Miaomiao's feelings back then. This kind of thing was truly incomprehensible. When a father tricks his son into dying, the son seems completely unaware and even willingly goes to his death...
What kind of bizarre combination is this? How have these two managed to survive until now?
"Yes, that's right. As expected of the son of Tuoba Wudi, he must have this invincible mindset..."
I patted Tuoba San on the shoulder and said with great approval…
"Father, let's set off now..."
Tuoba San said excitedly…
"Son, wait a little longer..."
I quickly grabbed him, afraid he would just fly away with me...
"Wait for what?"
Tuoba San looked puzzled…
"Of course it's your little fangirl, Liu Lingxian..."
Murong Xuanxuan curled her lip and said sarcastically, feeling very unhappy. She disliked seeing someone treat something she didn't want as a treasure; she was the kind of person who felt worse if her ex was doing well than if she were dead…
Tuoba San, a typical clueless guy, couldn't possibly understand the hidden meaning in Murong Xuanxuan's words. He looked at me with a puzzled expression, wanting to confirm if it was true...
“Son, one must not break one’s word. We promised to wait for her for one day. If we just leave without saying goodbye, wouldn’t we become a dishonest person? What if this becomes a demon in my heart if I can cultivate?”
Although Tuoba San felt that I had exaggerated a bit, he still nodded in agreement, since it wouldn't make a difference how much time it took...
At the very last moment of waiting, Liu Lingxian's figure rushed over...
"Uncle Tuoba, Third Brother, I'm here..."
Liu Lingxian's face flushed an unnatural red, indicating that she must have suffered something...
"I've already said she's just a burden..."
Tuoba San, completely oblivious to the romantic gestures, remarked, showing utter disregard for the price Liu Lingxian had paid to get here…
In her desperate attempt to travel, she even burned her spiritual energy. Fortunately, it didn't last long; otherwise, it would have caused irreversible damage. This is why her face turned an unnatural red...
These words deeply hurt Liu Lingxian, but she also knew that she was late, and no matter the reason, it couldn't hide the fact that she was late...
"Xian'er, judging from your appearance, you must have suffered a lot, right? It's okay if you can't come; there's no need to rush..."
I could tell that Liu Lingxian was actually very aggrieved, she just didn't express it...
Hearing my words, Liu Lingxian seemed to have found someone to rely on, and immediately grabbed my arm and said...
"Uncle Tuoba, I'm alright..."
"Hey, you kid..."
I feigned a sigh and said…
"Uncle Tuoba, let's hurry up and go, I'm afraid my father will come after us..."
As if she had just realized something, Liu Lingxian hurriedly urged...
Looking at her, I understood what had happened. This little girl must have disobeyed her father's orders and run away. No wonder she was so late…
"Son, let's go..."
I gave the order with a hint of helplessness…
Tuoba San didn't say anything, immediately took out a flying magic weapon, and carried the three of us into the sky, disappearing from the spot in an instant...
We had barely disappeared when Liu Changqing appeared in mid-air, gazing meaningfully in the direction we had vanished…
In order to keep moving forward, our group dared not linger at all. The Divine Puppet Sect was located in the western part of the Central Continent, while the Three Forbidden Lands were in the far north...
The distance isn't the furthest, but it's not close either, so it's difficult to reach the Three Forbidden Grounds quickly...
We continued our journey that day, and after several days, Liu Lingxian's mood had improved considerably...
Just as we were chatting, a surge of fighting energy caught our attention. Our original plan was to bypass it, since we intended to head straight for the Three Forbidden Zones…
But this group of people headed straight for us, and a group of men in black were chasing after a young woman...
Just as they were about to reach us, the woman being chased, for some reason, threw something she was holding towards us…
Tuoba San's first reaction was to throw the object back, but upon closer inspection, he realized it was actually a square stone tablet with the words "Boundary Sealing Stone" written on it...
So Tuoba San was stunned for a moment, and in that moment of hesitation, the sealing stone was already in his hands...
He stared blankly at the woman being attacked; she was already severely injured, and it was estimated that she could only unleash less than 50% of her full strength…
The group of men in black who were besieging him were also stunned for a moment, then abandoned the woman without saying a word and rushed straight towards Tuoba San. Their goal was clear: the sealing stone in Tuoba San's possession...
I couldn't help but give this woman a thumbs up; what a brilliant move to shift the blame...
However, given Tuoba San's personality, he definitely holds a grudge against her...
Tuoba San isn't afraid of trouble, but he also dislikes others creating trouble for him—of course, "others" doesn't include me, his father…
The young woman was a Saint-level expert, and so were the black-clad men attacking her. They even knew combined attack techniques. I don't know how this woman has managed to hold out this long...
The group of men in black didn't take Tuoba San seriously, because his strength was only at the Emperor level, while the men in black were not only a level higher, but also ganging up on him...
It was precisely this underestimation of their opponent, this failure to immediately launch a combined attack, that allowed Tuoba San to seize the opportunity and kill one of them with a single sword strike…
