The Way of The Dao

Lang Qingzu and the other five people ran at a moderate speed. No one spoke, but they sneaked glances at Lang Qingzu. A little girl younger than them had a higher cultivation than all of them, so they did not want to offend her!

Lang Qingzu's spirit sense expanded rapidly, looking in all directions as she tried to search for any trace of Xuan Li or Ling Tian.

After an indeterminate amount of time, Lang Qingzu's pupils shrank as she saw the ruins and all the destroyed buildings in the distance!

Lang Qingzu ran at an astonishing speed, leaving the others dumbfounded!

Ruined buildings, rubble and pieces of destroyed materials without shape, painting the scene as if it was a small city lost in ancient times, which could not avoid the destruction of the passage of time. In the center of the place, there was some sort of ancient building that was very old but was the only one still standing, giving off an ancient and mysterious feeling, as if there was something inside.

Several cultivators were still trying to move forward in formation, enduring the coercion of the place as they approached the ancient building in the center with much effort. One could feel a coercion in the place as one approached, while the other cultivators continued to struggle relentlessly, ranging from cultivators of the Seventh and Eighth Stage of Chi Gathering, to about three to five cultivators with powerful auras, demonstrating a superior power that belonged to those cultivators in the powerful Golden Core stages.

Lang Qingzu walked nervously, looking around. Her behavior was quickly noticed, with most of the cultivators starting to whisper and comment among themselves, pointing at her with their gazes.

"Look! Isn't she the girl who had disappeared a while ago? How come she's here again?"

"She was teleported somewhere else? What does that mean? Does it mean there is no inheritance?!"

"I don't know! But she and several others have disappeared, but we thought they had gone inside that strange but old and ancient building!"

"How strange!"

Lang Qingzu could clearly hear what they were saying, confirming to herself that she seemed to have been taken to that place without her realizing it. Her eyes quickly moved all over the place, realizing that she recognized several faces she had seen before, cultivators of different ages who were also competing with each other.

However, Lang Qingzu found no sign of Ling Tian or Xuan Li after searching for a long time. Neither was that boy who was in first place and disappeared a few brief moments before her.

"Senior Sister, is something wrong?"

After a while, the group Lang Qingzu had traveled with finally arrived. One of the women approached Lang Qingzu and asked upon seeing her look of worry.

"My big sister and big brother are gone!" Lang Qingzu had little tears of despair and sadness in her adorable little eyes.

No matter how hard she searched, Lang Qingzu could not find either of them! She even approached the huge rock where they had arrived with Ling Tian, but found no trace of him, as if he had never been there.

"Did you already ask the others? Why don't we ask if they have seen them? Probably some of them have seen them!" The young woman said.

"You're right!" Lang Qingzu's eyes seemed to regain their sparkle. Yeah! They had been here and almost everyone had seen them together! Even her big sister Xuan Li caused quite a commotion when she broke through!

They quickly began to ask each of the nearby cultivators who had not entered the formation and were only waiting for their teammates, as they did not dare to compete in these trials due to having low cultivation levels or fear of dying.

However, they all said pretty much the same thing: Xuan Li had disappeared just like her, while Ling Tian had stayed right there where he always was but in a sudden moment disappeared without anyone noticing!

Lang Qingzu was left worried as she could not find either of them. She looked everywhere not knowing what to do, wondering if Ling Tian had abandoned them and if Xuan Li was teleported to a different place as well.

* Boom! *

Just as Lang Qingzu was about to leave to continue exploring the surroundings of the place, a terrifying pressure fell on her!

Lang Qingzu was unable to move, falling to her knees as she felt short of breath!

The men and women who were near Lang Qingzu were included as well, being suppressed!

"What's wrong?"

"What expert is here?"

"Which senior is upset? Senior, if we have offended you in any way, please forgive us!"

The exclamations quickly began, as they tried to plead for their lives. Lang Qingzu had a cultivation at the Foundation Establishment stage, while the others were at the Chi Gathering stage, feeling the pressure tenfold even though they were not the real targets of the coercion.

The three men and two women who had come with Lang Qingzu to this place did not hesitate to slowly walk away from her. Their gazes scanned the surroundings, not wanting to get involved with this expert who has appeared upon seeing that he was apparently aiming at Lang Qingzu.

Lang Qingzu could not speak as she tried to breathe with great difficulty. She looked in one direction and saw who the supposed expert was who was suppressing her with the aura.

lightsΝοvel This guy was one of the three in the sky, a Nascent Soul expert!

The other 60-year-old old man and the guy the same age as Xuan Li were looking at her coldly as well!

"Girl! Hand over what you received! If you received the inheritance and hand it over to us, I promise I won't do anything to you and I can even give you some spiritual crystals!" Wen Ding asked fiercely. He had barely released a sliver of his aura, but it was enough to completely suppress all these guys who were very weak.

Lang Qingzu grimaced angrily at the sight of Wen Ding. But despite that, she did not speak and remained silent.

"Ah? You're not going to speak? You think someone here can save you?"

Wen Ding increased his aura a little more, causing Lang Qingzu to feel that her body would explode at any moment. She fell heavily to the ground when she could no longer support herself with her knees, breathing heavily as her face paled.

However, Lang Qingzu did not say a word!

The other cultivators watched this, but none intervened. No one wanted to be in the crosshairs of these terrifying Nascent Soul stage experts.

Lang Qingzu gritted her teeth, her body motionless. She felt that at any moment her body would explode from the terrifying pressure. Even at this moment, Lang Qingzu seemed to feel her organs and viscera begin to explode in her body as the pain increased horribly.

"Cut the crap and hurry up!" Wen Woo said coldly.

"Leave her alive, Elder Ding, please. Although she is small, she is still a unique beauty and will be more beautiful when she grows up!" Wen Ming quickly exclaimed to Wen Ding. He licked his lips at the sight of Lang Qingzu.

"If you're going to check her soul, then you know what to do!" Wen Woo spat solemnly.

"Hmph!"

Wen Ding snorted mockingly as he finally raised his hand and waved it towards Lang Qingzu.

* Crackle! *

Then, a faint and almost imperceptible sound of a sheet of paper tearing clearly expanded in the place.

Lang Qingzu felt as if she was suspended in mid-air for a brief moment, as if there was no pressure or coercion on her at all. Her gaze became somewhat transparent, watching everything happening in slow motion.

"Cough! Cough!"

Lang Qingzu coughed loudly, with several mouthfuls of blood coming out of her small mouth. Her seven orifices began to bleed a little as well, while her meridians began to crack rapidly.

"Who dares to hurt my disciple?"

* Boom! *

At the moment when Lang Qingzu felt like she would lose consciousness, a familiar yet extremely majestic and cold voice came, and the next moment, an extremely terrifying and horrible coercion erupted on the spot!

The pressure that was enveloping Lang Qingzu finally disappeared, with her being able to breathe.

Lang Qingzu's adorable little eyes shone with excitement and happiness as she noticed a majestic and powerful, yet clearly very familiar and beloved figure appear in the sky.

"M-master!"

Lang Qingzu exclaimed happily. Small tears could not be contained and filled her lovely eyes.
