Mortal: Fifteenth Realm Sword Cultivator

"Take care of yourself."

Leaving behind this brief sentence, Nangong Wan's spiritual energy surged slightly, and she instantly transformed into a streak of blue light, disappearing at the end of the underground cave.

Xin Ruyin took a step closer, her voice gentle: "Miss Yan."

Yan Ruyan turned her head at the sound, the bitter smile on her face not yet completely gone, and said in a low voice, "Miss Xin, from now on... I will be troubling you."

In reality, her state of mind was far from as calm and composed as she appeared.

In fact, I was already mentally exhausted.

Since Yan Family Fort was forced to join the Ghost Spirit Sect, in order to ensure the survival of her family, she became engaged to Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect.

The rise and fall, glory and disgrace of the clan were almost entirely tied to her.

Now, they have been captured by strongmen and taken to an unknown place. Their future is uncertain, their fate is unknown, and their luck is even more unpredictable.

If Yan Ruyan had not been resolute from a young age, knowing that upholding one's true self was the most important thing and that everything else was external, she would probably have long been plagued by inner demons and unable to support herself alone.

Therefore, the path of cultivating immortality is inherently fraught with thorns and tribulations.

Being kidnapped today, who knows if it's not just another twist of fate?

They come, the security.

Yan Ruyan wanted to see where this unexpected "opportunity" would ultimately lead her.

At least, getting out of Wang Chan's sight is a kind of relief.

Lu Jianghe snapped the scroll in his hand shut and put it into his storage bag.

He looked up, his gaze sweeping over the three people inside the cave.

"Like a sound."

His voice rang out calmly.

"Senior Lu, I'm here."

Xin Ruyin immediately responded.

"Check the ancient formation one last time to ensure it's foolproof."

"yes!"

Xin Ruyin's expression turned solemn.

After Han Li finished calculating the storage bag that Nangong Wan had given him, a sense of joy welled up in his heart.

This is indeed an extremely generous amount of resources. A rough estimate suggests that it would be enough to sustain one's progress through two rounds of retraining after the Three-Turn Rejuvenation Technique has been dispelled.

"Young Han, set up your Five Elements Reversal Array around the area. Once the teleportation array is activated, it will create a huge spectacle in no time, which will inevitably attract attention. If it does attract a powerful enemy, just focus on maintaining the array's operation, and leave the rest to me."

Without hesitation, Han Li immediately took out an ancient array plate from his storage bag.

It was the "Inverted Five Elements Formation" that Xin Ruyin had obtained.

He quickly glanced down at the array plate's status, and only looked up after confirming that everything was correct.

As he made a hand seal, five array flags, shimmering with a deep blue spiritual light, were precisely inserted into the surrounding area.

As spiritual energy surged in, the five array flags simultaneously hummed and vibrated, and the runes on the flags suddenly lit up.

A semi-elliptical pale blue light shield rose from the ground like ripples on water, gradually darkening and rapidly converging upwards to form a solid light curtain that tightly enveloped the ancient teleportation array and the surrounding area within several feet.

In the art of formations, the larger the defensive range, the thinner the energy barrier, and the easier it is to expose the weaknesses in attributes.

However, if it is minimized to the extreme and shrunk to a tiny size, its protective capabilities will increase exponentially, becoming incredibly tough.

Now that the Inverted Five Elements Formation has been adjusted, its defensive capabilities have undergone a qualitative change.

The light shield, which could barely withstand the combined attack of a mid-stage Core Formation cultivator, was now perfectly solidified. With its flowing light and inner spiritual pressure, it was strong enough to withstand the full force of a late-stage Core Formation cultivator without any problem.

Lu Jianghe turned to look at Yan Ruyan and said slowly, "This is actually an opportunity for you. Don't worry about it. I can guarantee that you can achieve Core Formation and Nascent Soul formation faster there."

Han Li clicked his tongue in amazement as he listened; Brother Lu was indeed unconventional in his actions.

They can even make kidnapping sound so natural and promising.

Tsk tsk tsk!

To Yan Ruyan, these words were more like a warning.

People have to bow their heads under the roof.

What you say, is what it is.

But the universe is so vast, who can know it?

You haven't actually been there, have you?

Xin Ruyin had finished her inspection and confirmed that the teleportation array was flawless. She looked up and said, "It's ready. We can activate it at any time."

Lu Jianghe took out a storage bag and sent it flying to Han Li's side, along with a Great Teleportation Order.

"Young Han, you take over the teleportation. There are several dozen mid-grade spirit stones and several thousand low-grade spirit stones in the bag, which should be enough."

Han Li hesitated for a moment, his lips moved a few times, but he finally couldn't help but speak, "Brother Lu, how about we wait a little longer?"

The meaning behind the words is very clear.

Nangong Wan had just left. If we were to activate the formation now and cause a big commotion, wouldn't it be easy to expose our whereabouts?

Lu Jianghe said calmly, "Young Han, don't underestimate anyone. What do you take a Core Formation cultivator for? With such a commotion here, if she can still be discovered... I think this Core Formation cultivation is a waste."

Nangong Wan is from a prestigious sect with a history spanning thousands of years, and she possesses various secret techniques.

The commotion here was so great that it attracted everyone's attention.

If she's still targeted because of this... then it can only mean that her fate is sealed, and this is how it should be.

Finish what you have to say.

For the first time, Lu Jianghe revealed a glimpse of his true form in his Dharma robe, "Morning Dew," to others.

The black, wide-sleeved robe gradually faded in color, like ink wash painting, slowly turning into a warm, verdant hue.

The instant this change began, Xin Ruyin and Yan Ruyan simultaneously felt the watery energy between heaven and earth become richer.

They looked intently at the source of this energy.

The two men watched as Lu Jianghe's robes changed, their expressions differing.

Above the "morning dew," black and white, yin and yang energies began to circulate endlessly, as if in the vast void, the pure energy rose and the turbid energy sank, swirling and surging without end.

The pure and turbid energies resonated and converged, subtly transforming into mountains, rivers, wind, rain, snow, and frost, flowing slowly and ever-changing on the surface of the robe, like a watercolor painting that was constantly unfolding in the wind.

The deep black robe that had previously covered her sleeves had completely faded away, revealing a vibrant green hue.

At this moment, Lu Jianghe, wearing this robe, exuded an even more ethereal and profound aura, like a banished immortal.

Han Li also stared at this scene, completely absorbed.

Although the three had different levels of understanding, they all realized at the same time that the robe Lu Jianghe was wearing was no ordinary item; at the very least, it was a top-grade magic treasure.

Yan Ruyan saw it more clearly.

With the Ghost Spirit Sect as her backer, she possessed vast knowledge and experience, and at this moment, her heart was filled with turbulent waves.

Could it be... an ancient treasure from the primordial era, belonging to the category of robes?!

The Ghost Spirit Sect's secret vault also contains scattered legends of such treasures, all of which possess heaven-reaching and earth-shattering power, enough to suppress the sect's fortune.

Its value cannot be measured in spirit stones at all.

If I could obtain this treasure and keep it with me...

Yan Ruyan felt her heart begin to race, and a surge of urge to possess it welled up within her.

This thought is like a man seeing a beautiful woman; it's a completely subconscious, instinctive reaction.
