On the Taixu Sect's side, Sheng Ning took advantage of the abundant spiritual energy within the bamboo forest formation to stop her pursuit of Lu Qing'an and the others.
Meanwhile, Lu Qing'an and his group encountered trouble.
"Ha! Let me see what big fish I caught today!"
A rough voice echoed through the mountains and fields.
The moonlight was as clear as water, but it was obscured by the lush, towering trees in the mountains and forests.
It was on the trunk of this towering tree that a net made of binding ropes hung from the thick branches.
Inside the net, four cultivators dressed in moon-white sect robes were trapped.
I heard a rough voice in my ear and saw flames coming this way.
Yu struggled with his limbs, complaining, "Guan Yunchuan, are you out of your mind? Why do you have to go through this godforsaken place?"
Guan Yunchuan, who was squatting to the side with a Gatling gun in his arms, glanced at him and said, "You said that flying with the power of magic was too tiring and you wanted to go down for a walk."
Yu Ye turned around and grinned at him, "You could at least have chosen a better place! Now look what happened, nobody can escape!"
"Third Senior Brother, don't push me! Damn it, which poor bastard made this net? Couldn't they have used a couple more Immortal Binding Ropes? It's squeezing me to death!"
Lu Jingshen listened to the complaints around him, but he didn't answer. He just raised his head and looked at the moonlight shining through the leaves above.
Finally, a melancholy sigh echoed through the woods, "I wonder how Junior Sister and the others are doing."
"Junior Sister's cultivation is far inferior to that of the Taixu Sect. What will we do if she gets injured?"
Looking at his three unreliable junior brothers, Lu Qing'an suppressed his temper and gently touched his forehead.
As the flame drew closer, he turned his head to look down at the tree.
"Fellow Daoist, we are disciples of the Invincible Sect. We have urgent business to attend to. May we leave first?"
"After we finish what we're doing, we'll come back and let you tie us up, okay?"
Those familiar with Lu Qing'an should know this.
The gentler he speaks, the more anger he has inside.
This anger can explode in the blink of an eye, leaving no time for anyone to react.
Slightly below are several burly men.
Upon hearing Lu Qing'an's gentle voice, coupled with his androgynous face, the thugs below burst into laughter.
"I wondered what had led me into Grandpa's trap, but it turns out to be you, my little beauty~"
"Don't be afraid, little beauty. Grandpa will put you down now and take you back to the village to eat and drink your fill, hmm~"
The man in the lead rubbed his palms together, a lewd smile spreading across his stubble-covered face.
Lu Qing'an was already in a state of agitation, and the man just happened to walk right into his trap by calling him "little beauty."
He ground his back teeth, and a smile appeared on his stunningly handsome face. "Then I'll have to trouble you."
The little beauty promised him that after she put him down, he would come back to the village with her and live a life of luxury.
The man in the lead chuckled on the spot.
He quickly instructed his underlings to remove the trap.
But to his surprise, his younger brother was unwilling to do so at all.
"Boss, didn't you hear what they were saying? They're from the Invincible Sect."
The younger brother was also a rough-looking man, with a stubble beard, two withered grasses on his head, and tattered clothes, clearly having been brutally beaten on the ground.
The man didn't react at first.
Just as he was about to raise his hand to slap his underling on the head, the wisdom line in his brain suddenly connected.
With his arm raised in mid-air, he blinked hard, and after a long while, he finally spoke, "Who did you say?"
"The Invincible Sect! That Invincible Sect!" The younger brother emphasized the word 'Invincible Sect,' trying to remind them that they had been utterly defeated by the Invincible Sect yesterday.
The man swallowed hard, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, and an expression of disbelief appeared on his blank face.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible!" He shook his head. "I've seen those hooligans from the Invincible Sect before."
“Look at those guys up there, they’re all dressed like pretty boys, how could they possibly be from the Invincible Sect?”
"Maybe they're just imposters. Alright, enough nonsense, hurry up and put my little beauty down!"
The younger brother was truly at a loss, because in his memory, although the people of the Invincible Sect dressed decently, none of them were as exquisitely dressed as the person in front of him.
Maybe, as the boss said, these people are just impersonating others.
The younger brother took a deep breath, stepped forward, and asked Lu Qing'an and the other three in a deep voice, "Are you really from the Invincible Sect?"
"Go to hell! Enough with the nonsense, put my little beauty down right now!"
As soon as the younger brother finished speaking, the man behind him looked impatient and kicked him hard in the buttocks.
The underling who was kicked dared not speak out in anger, and could only hold the torch to untie the knot tied to the thick tree trunk.
Meanwhile, Lu Qing'an and his three companions, who had been hanging in the net, looked at each other in bewilderment as the bandits talked under the tree.
Because the Binding Immortal Rope suppressed their spiritual power, they could not communicate by sound and could only communicate with their eyes.
When the underlings lowered the four people down from mid-air, the leader immediately stepped forward.
"Haha! My little beauty, today you are my bride!"
"Come on, come back to the village with me, I'll treat you to all the good food and drink! We'll get married, how about it?"
The moment the Immortal Binding Rope fell from his body, a cold glint flashed across Lu Qing'an's androgynous face.
Just as the man approached, his figure suddenly vanished.
"What's going on? Where's my little beauty?!"
Lu Qing'an disappeared so quickly that the man only felt a breeze brush against his face.
He didn't even blink once, but in that instant, Lu Qing'an completely disappeared from his sight.
"Boss, you...you...you behind you!"
The younger brother's panicked voice rang out from behind.
Upon hearing this, the man's body suddenly stiffened. He swallowed again, and when he turned around, he saw Lu Qing'an, dressed in a moon-white sect robe, holding a strange-looking high-grade spiritual weapon right in front of his face.
They noticed that Lu Qing'an was actually holding a high-grade spiritual weapon.
The man's eyes lit up, and a fawning smile appeared on his face. "Little beauty, why are you still playing with such dangerous things?"
"Here, give it to me, I'll keep it safe for you, okay?"
Although the laser cannon has a unique and strange design, its deterrent power as a high-grade spiritual weapon is still very strong.
The man had lived for two hundred years and had never seen a top-grade spiritual weapon. For a moment, all he wanted was to get the little beauty and the top-grade spiritual weapon.
Seeing this, Lu Jingshen snorted coldly, "He's finished."
At the same time, another glimmer of fire appeared in the mountains and forests, growing ever closer.
Lu Qing'an and the others only heard the man who had rushed over in a panic making exclamations.
"Something's wrong, boss! Something's wrong, boss!"
"The Invincible Sect! Those lunatics from the Invincible Sect are coming!"
