Until the seventh day, Xiao Ling was completely desperate. With Lu Tianjiao's cultivation level, it was impossible for him to leave Shangquanzhou without saying goodbye and have no news for seven days.

Perhaps Lu Tianjiao was not encountering any special circumstances, he just simply didn't want to see Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling didn't understand, what on earth had caused Lu Tianjiao to dislike her, to make Lu Tianjiao leave alone without saying goodbye to Mo Ziyan? "Don't worry, Ling'er, Elder Lu will definitely come back."

Mo Ziyan was not too worried. She and Lu Tianjiao hadn't seen each other for many years. How could Lu Tianjiao just leave without saying hello?

In Mo Ziyan's opinion, Lu Tianjiao should have just left to deal with some things, and happened to encounter an accident on the way which delayed him for some time.

Xiao Ling was in low spirits. She also wanted to believe Lu Tianjiao, but Lu Tianjiao had not returned for seven days.

"Ling'er, it's not a big deal for us to stay in the inn all the time. With Elder Lu's cultivation, he will definitely be able to find us when the time comes."

Mo Ziyan felt helpless. She couldn't produce any solid evidence and couldn't reassure Xiao Ling.

After hearing this, Xiao Ling remained silent for a long time, but finally agreed to leave the inn with Mo Ziyan.

Mo Ziyan has already made preparations for the breakthrough, and urgently needs a quiet and deserted place to break through the Yuanhai realm. It is impossible for her to stay in the inn with Xiao Ling. If Lu Tianjiao will come back, as long as the two women have not left too far, they can still be found.

Above, seeing the two women leaving the inn, Jiang Zhige glanced at Lu Tianjiao who was still thinking beside him.

"Brother Lu, seven days have passed, why are you still hesitating?"

Jiang Zhige shook his head. Lu Tianjiao had remained motionless for seven days. If he hadn't reminded him, he probably wouldn't have known that seven days had passed.

"Brother Jiang, for a moment, I really don't know what to do."

Lu Tianjiao sighed. This matter was of great importance to him, and he could not get any result after thinking hard for seven days.

"Brother Lu, you think too much and hesitate to move forward, but you don't have to give an answer so quickly. You can first get to know Miss Xiao little by little."

"You don't know that during those seven days, Miss Xiao thought you had chosen to reject her, so she left without saying goodbye. She held on to the last bit of luck and was anxious all day hoping that you would come back."

Perhaps because he had treated Mo Ziyan in the same way before, Jiang Zhige didn't want Lu Tianjiao to be like him and let the person who loved him suffer.

Lu Tianjiao was stunned. Before he thought about it, he had never thought that he would make Xiao Ling suffer.

Jiang Zhige was about to say something, but suddenly his eyes changed slightly and he turned to look towards the northern skyline.

There are several powerful men who are at least at the Transcendent Realm and are rushing towards the Immortal City. Their route is clear and it is obvious that they have no good intentions.

However, who in a mere Shangquan Province could attract several Transcendent Realm or even Myriad Realm masters? If Jiang Zhige's whereabouts were exposed, there shouldn't be only a few Transcendent Realm and Myriad Realm cultivators coming.

"Brother Lu, I'm going to go find out what's going on. Please protect Zi Yan and the others."

To be on the safe side, Jiang Zhige decided to go over and find out the other party's reasons.

"no problem."

Lu Tianjiao came back to his senses after hearing this and looked down at Mo Ziyan and the other girl who had just walked out of the inn.

Perhaps Jiang Zhige was right. Regardless of whether they could be together in the end, he should not reject Xiao Ling directly, and he should not hide here and let Xiao Ling be heartbroken.

A hundred miles north of the Immortal City, a group of monks dressed in snow-white uniforms and exuding a terrifying aura were rushing towards this side.

"Fellow Daoists, why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"

At this moment, a voice came from somewhere.

More than a dozen monks stopped and looked around in surprise.

With their level of cultivation, they couldn't find the location of the person who was speaking.

A horse-faced monk from the Myriad Realm stepped out from the crowd and said, "We are the guests of the Bai Clan of the Feather Clan. We heard that the demon cultivator who caused trouble a hundred years ago appeared in Shangquan Prefecture, so we came here to capture him. May I ask who you are, senior?"

Judging from the strong spiritual power in the voice, the other party is a strong man above the Myriad Realm, enough for him to be called a senior.

Hearing this, the speaker paused for a moment and asked again, "I have also heard of that demon cultivator, but as far as I know, his disciple is not also a demon cultivator. Why do you want to kill him all?"

The horse-faced monk couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "Senior, you are joking. She is the disciple of the demon cultivator. I can't say how bad she is, but she is definitely not that good either. Besides, our primary purpose of coming here is not to kill her. It is rumored that the demon cultivator values ​​his disciple very much. If we can capture her and bring her back to the clan, we will be able to lure the demon cultivator out."

After hearing his words, the person who was speaking, who was somewhere unknown, fell silent again.

More than a dozen monks looked at each other in bewilderment. The person who came was of very high level of cultivation, and they dared not act rashly without permission.

After a long silence, a figure slowly walked out of the forest.

He put his hands behind his back, looked at the many cultivators, and said calmly: "It is rumored that the demon cultivator is powerful enough to fight against more than a dozen saint-level masters. Aren't you afraid that he will stay by your disciple's side?"

The horse-faced monk was delighted when he saw this. Since the other party was willing to show up and talk, he should not have any hostility towards them.

Just as he was about to speak, a companion beside him suddenly reached out and grabbed him.

The horse-faced monk was puzzled and turned his head to look, only to see that his companion had a look of horror on his face, staring at the young man in black not far away.

"Tang Keqing, he, he seems to be the demon cultivator Jiang Zhige from a hundred years ago."

The horse-faced monk was stunned at first when he heard this, and then his heart was broken with fear.

The terrifying demon cultivator who was rumored to be able to easily kill a Saint-level master was actually right in front of them, and he even claimed that he was going to capture Jiang Zhige's apprentice? Jiang Zhige looked indifferent, and his eyes swept over the dozen cultivators one by one.

After another hundred years of ups and downs, he no longer has the passion of a rookie, nor the morality of a high position. Today's matter concerns Mo Ziyan, and everyone present must die.

Perhaps the people present had no bad intentions and were just following orders or wanted to enforce justice, but they set their sights on Mo Ziyan, so for Jiang Zhige, that meant she was someone who deserved to be killed.

The horse-faced monk and his entourage were all terrified and stepped back subconsciously.

Jiang Zhige had disappeared for decades, and it was only by luck that he got news about Mo Ziyan. How could anyone present have thought that Jiang Zhige would actually stay by his apprentice's side?

Rumor has it that Jiang Zhige fought alone against more than a dozen great Saint Realm masters and two Questioning Profound Realm Immortals, and was still able to win and escape unscathed. Now, the highest cultivation level among them is only in the middle stage of the Mysterious Realm. How could they be Jiang Zhige's opponent?

"I just came here out of curiosity. I didn't expect you to be here."
