Half an hour later, Li Hanyi felt much better. Worried about Lei Wujie's safety, she grabbed Lin Bufan's hand and said, "I'm fine. Let's go to Lei Family Fortress quickly."
"Is Lei Wujie over there?" Lin Bufan asked.
"Yes, when we parted ways, he fled towards Leijiabao."
"Let's go over there then."
Lin Bufan picked up Li Hanyi, took Sikong Qianluo's hand, and made her put her hands on his waist and hug him.
Both women had rosy cheeks and a slightly shy demeanor, but they showed no resistance and tacitly allowed themselves to approach Lin Bufan.
Sikong Qianluo obediently hugged Lin Bufan's waist and abdomen, while Li Hanyi also hooked her arms around Lin Bufan's neck, taking the initiative to let him carry her in a princess carry.
That way, they won't fall when Lin Bufan flies high.
"You're all holding on tight, right?" Lin Bufan asked.
"Mmm," the two girls replied, one burying her head in Lin Bufan's arms, and the other tilting her head, pressing one cheek against Lin Bufan's back.
Lin Bufan felt that the air around him was fresh, sweet, pleasant, and warm, and he was in a very good mood.
"Let's go."
As he spoke, he activated the Dragon God Technique and the Wind Control Technique, creating a gust of wind that carried the three of them to Lei Family Fortress.
Breaking through to the Great Freedom Realm, the speed is truly amazing.
Lin Bufan could personally experience the enhancement of his Wind Control Technique and Dragon God Skill.
At this speed, he could reach Lei Family Fort in less than half a day.
Half a day later, less than thirty miles from Lei Family Fort, Lin Bufan and his two companions saw Lei Wujie.
Not only Lei Wujie, but Tang Lian was also there.
They escaped the pursuit of the Dark River, separated and reunited repeatedly before finally coming together again.
However, Lin Bufan believed that their escape was not due to their own strength, but rather because they had the help of a master.
Because there was another person with them.
A middle-aged man dressed as a scholar, with an imposing presence and a reserved demeanor.
He carried a chest full of books and classics on his back, and had a scholarly appearance.
At first glance, this person looks a bit like Tong Bo.
But Lin Bufan thought otherwise, because Tong Bo was unconscious and in Shuiyue Cave at the moment, so it was impossible for him to be in Beili.
Who exactly is this person?
Before Lin Bufan recognized the middle-aged scholar, Sikong Qianlu recognized him first and exclaimed happily, "It's Uncle Xie Xuan! Brother Lin, it's Uncle Xie Xuan!"
Oh, so it's the Confucian Sword Immortal.
He is the person ranked ahead of Lin Bufan on the list of the most outstanding individuals.
Although Xie Xuan's surname is Xie, that's all he is.
He had absolutely no connection with the Dark River, nor with Xie Qidao or Xie Jiucheng.
His prestige is higher than those two because he is a sword immortal.
A scholar who has spent half his life studying suddenly has a breakthrough one day, his enlightenment is unstoppable, and he enters a state of great freedom as a Confucian sword immortal.
Even more fortunately, he didn't have any ancestors in his family who needed to be summoned to their deaths, so he was considered fortunate.
Among the five great sword immortals, Xie Xuan is the most unique and the most unpredictable.
Because he only loved reading and not fighting, he didn't even practice swordsmanship.
It's truly baffling where his surging, terrifying sword intent came from.
Does it really come from books and classics?
"Uncle Xie Xuan~"
Sikong Qianluo, perched on Lin Bufan's back, shouted joyfully down below.
Li Hanyi, in Lin Bufan's arms, also called out to Lei Wujie below.
The three people below looked up and were also pleasantly surprised.
Lei Wujie: "Sister~"
Tang Lian: "Junior Sister Qianluo~"
Xie Xuan: "Who is this young man? He's so lucky."
Lin Bufan and his two companions fell from the sky and immediately gathered together to ask each other questions.
Only then did they realize that Xie Xuan had indeed saved them.
Xie Xuan had a good relationship with Xueyue City and was also good friends with Sikong Changfeng. They often played chess, read books, or discussed philosophy together.
He was also invited to the Heroes' Banquet, and on the way he happened to encounter people from the Dark River chasing Lei Wujie and his companion, whom he rescued.
With the crisis at Leijiabao still ongoing, the group reduced their pleasantries and chatted as they traveled.
It was only a few dozen miles, and the group quickly arrived at Lei Family Fort.
Lei Family Fortress is already engulfed in flames of war, with fighting raging fiercely.
The head of the Lei family has died a violent death, and Lei Hong is leading the Lei family disciples in resisting the combined offensive of the Dark River and the Tang Clan.
Old Master Tang personally oversaw the operation, leading the elders to surround and kill Lei Hong, as well as Lei Yunhe, another outstanding swordsman from the Lei Clan.
The Wen family, Wushuang City, and heroes from all walks of life watched from the sidelines, minding their own business.
The feud between the Tang and Lei families has nothing to do with them, so it's best not to get involved.
"Lei Hong, aren't you going to give up yet?"
Old Master Tang said coldly, "Give up resistance now and surrender to my Tang Clan, and I will guarantee the safety of these Lei Clan disciples. If you insist on going your own way, I will have no choice but to kill you all."
While wielding his sword to kill the enemy, Lei Hong said defiantly, "Leimen disciples only die in battle, not in surrender and die in humiliation. You don't need to waste your breath, just fight me to the death."
"Good, you have guts. I'll grant your wish." Old Master Tang made a forceful move.
Lei Hong was under siege and unable to defend himself properly. He couldn't withstand a palm strike from Old Master Tang and was immediately sent flying, coughing up blood.
"And you, Lei Yunhe."
Old Master Tang then attacked Lei Yunhe, sending him flying and spitting blood.
Lei Men was at a critical juncture, and Lin Bufan and his companions finally arrived.
It wasn't Lei Wujie who charged ahead, but Tang Lian.
"Grandpa, please stop!" Tang Lian shouted.
Old Master Tang turned around and was slightly surprised to see that it was Tang Lian who came to stop him.
“You are a member of the Tang Clan, yet you've mingled with the Lei Clan. I told Tang Lingyue to stop you from coming, but you still insisted on coming and going against your family. Ha!”
With a cold laugh, Old Master Tang said disappointedly, "Fine, just pretend the Tang Clan doesn't have you. Get lost, or my sword won't discriminate."
Tang Lian's face was contorted with pain, and a tear rolled down her cheek: "Does it have to be this heartless? We are allies with Snow Moon City, and they are allies with Snow Moon City too."
"A child is still a child; one cannot see through him."
Old Master Tang didn't want to explain, so he just yelled, "Get out!"
He immediately drew his sword, and the sword energy repelled Tang Lian.
Xie Xuan immediately stepped forward, "Old Master Tang, you can't even be reasonable with a junior?"
Old Master Tang said irritably, "I haven't read many books, so there's no point in arguing with a scholar like you."
Xie Xuan was stunned for a moment; this was the first time he had encountered such a stubborn old man.
Okay, so you can't reason with me, huh?
Xie Xuan rolled up his sleeves and became serious.
"Since the old man won't listen to reason, I actually know a little bit about martial arts."
