The old man from Jianlu and his granddaughter headed southeast. Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to chase after them immediately, but then he thought, what could he say even if he caught up?
Should he question them about the whereabouts of the Demon-Slaying Sword? If they refused to tell him, would Liu Xiaoyuan kill them?
Besides, I'm spending this late at night with Lu Siyao. If I go there, Lu Siyao's temper will probably flare up again.
However, if he didn't pursue it, Liu Xiaoyuan would have no idea where to find the Evil-Slaying Sword.
After thinking for a while, Liu Xiaoyuan decided to chase after them after dawn. In any case, the old man from Jianlu and his granddaughter had left during the day, and he might not be able to catch up with them now, so there was no need to rush.
Nothing happened that night. After dawn, Liu Xiaoyuan took Lu Siyao to work at the police station. Liu Xiaoyuan then drove home and told Su Xue and his parents about his trip.
Upon learning that Liu Xiaoyuan was going out again, his parents immediately asked him where he was going, since he had just returned and they were wondering why he was going out again.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't want to tell his parents what was going on, so he just said that he had to go out to take care of some things and would probably be gone for a while.
Although his parents were unwilling, they didn't force him, because they knew that Liu Xiaoyuan had to take care of it anyway, and forcing him wouldn't work; a man should have ambitions beyond his hometown.
Su Xue could only look at Liu Xiaoyuan with a resentful gaze, and Liu Xiaoyuan could only give her an apologetic look.
Afterwards, Liu Xiaoyuan took the white tiger and headed southeast.
Throughout the journey, Liu Xiaoyuan never stopped, amplifying his divine sense to search for the two's whereabouts, but after searching for a while, he still couldn't find any trace of them.
Liu Xiaoyuan also asked the white tiger to release its divine sense to help search, perhaps because the white tiger's divine sense could spread wider.
After flying for about half a day, there was still no trace of the two people. Liu Xiaoyuan began to suspect that the disciple of the Hehuan Sect was deceiving him.
If it weren't for this ridiculous task assigned by the system, Liu Xiaoyuan wouldn't have bothered looking for this so-called Demon Sword. Wouldn't it have been better to stay at home with his woman?
"Could we be going in the wrong direction?" Baihu asked Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan had no idea whether the direction was wrong or not; he had only heard it from the disciple of the Hehuan Sect.
"I don't know either. Let's keep going. If we still haven't found any trace of them by tomorrow, we'll go home," Liu Xiaoyuan said irritably. Anyway, they had a year to find the Evil-Slaying Sword, so there was no rush.
Liu Xiaoyuan and Baihu continued flying forward, taking short breaks when they got tired before continuing their journey. Flying through the air while simultaneously using their divine sense to search was an extremely energy-consuming activity.
But in order to find the people, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't care about anything else. As long as he could find the old man from Jianlu and his granddaughter, it would be worth it.
Late at night, Liu Xiaoyuan and Baihu were still not resting, and the two continued their journey under the starry sky.
"Master, I sense a fight going on a few hundred miles ahead. It must be the old man you're looking for and his granddaughter," the white tiger suddenly said.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately extended his divine sense forward and discovered that people were fighting on the mountain hundreds of miles ahead. Upon closer inspection, it was indeed the old man from Jianlu and his granddaughter.
The man fighting them was a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator. The two male cultivators seemed to be twins. When they attacked together, they were good at both offense and defense. The old man and his granddaughter were no match for them.
"Let's go, hurry up!" Liu Xiaoyuan said to the white tiger. If the old man was killed by these two male cultivators, who would Liu Xiaoyuan ask about the whereabouts of the Evil-Breaking Sword?
For a cultivator like Liu Xiaoyuan, the journey of several hundred miles wouldn't take long.
Before long, Liu Xiaoyuan and Baihu arrived at the scene. The four people were surprised and delighted to see Liu Xiaoyuan and Baihu.
The twin brothers were naturally surprised, while the old man from Jianlu and his granddaughter were overjoyed.
The old man and his granddaughter had witnessed the White Tiger's abilities and knew that with the White Tiger around, the twin brothers were nothing to worry about.
"Fellow Daoist Liu," the old man quickly greeted Shao Yitian.
When the twin brothers saw the old man greet Liu Xiaoyuan, they knew the two were acquainted and that tonight's matter was going to be tricky. Liu Xiaoyuan was also at the late Nascent Soul stage, and with the old man and his granddaughter involved, the twin brothers wouldn't be able to gain any advantage at all.
“Fellow Daoist, this matter has nothing to do with you, so please do not get involved,” one of the men said to Liu Xiaoyuan.
Liu Xiaoyuan glared at the other party and said, "Get out! You two get out of here right now, or don't blame me for killing you without mercy."
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's arrogance, the two brothers' expressions immediately changed. Telling them to get lost was simply slapping them in the face.
"Fellow Daoist, you must never go too far in anything you do, or it will do you no good at all," the man who had spoken earlier continued.
Liu Xiaoyuan said coldly, "Are you deaf? I told you to get lost, didn't you hear me?"
"Hmph!" the man snorted coldly. Another man said, "Brother, don't waste your breath on this kid. Even if there are three of them, we two brothers are not afraid."
Hearing the other party's words, Liu Xiaoyuan sneered and said, "Just the two of you? I don't even need to lift a finger. This cat next to me can handle both of you."
The white tiger immediately protested, saying, "I am not a cat, I am a tiger, a white tiger!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile, "It doesn't matter. It's just a title. As long as you have the ability, the title doesn't matter."
The twin brothers burst into laughter when they saw the white tiger next to Liu Xiaoyuan.
They were laughing so happily. How could a cat defeat the two brothers? Could this cat be a divine cat?
"Go on, let these two guys who were laughing at you see what you're capable of," Liu Xiaoyuan said to the white tiger.
The white tiger immediately roared, and then its body suddenly grew larger. After the white tiger's body grew larger, the laughter of the two men who were still laughing stopped abruptly, because they realized that this cat they had been mocking was not simple.
"Roar!" The white tiger roared at the two men and then attacked them.
Liu Xiaoyuan walked up to the old man and asked, "Grandpa, are you alright?"
The old man glanced at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "I'm fine, thank you for coming."
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Old man, to be honest, I came here specifically to follow you."
Upon hearing Liu Xiaoyuan's words, the old man was stunned for a moment, stared at Liu Xiaoyuan with wide eyes, and then asked, "I wonder what business it is of you, Fellow Daoist Liu, chasing after an old man like me?"
