Mortal: Fifteenth Realm Sword Cultivator

Lu Jianghe said calmly, "This place is the Chaotic Star Sea, which is about two million miles away from Tiannan."

Upon hearing this, even though Xin Ruyin and Yan Ruyan had anticipated it, they were still shocked and their expressions changed slightly.

Two million miles?

This was an astronomical figure that was beyond their imagination. Even though they knew that the ancient teleportation array could traverse vast distances, they never expected it to be so terrifying.

Han Li, standing to the side, widened his eyes instantly, his mouth slightly agape, feeling a surge of insignificance overwhelm him.

Lu Jianghe glanced at the astonished expressions on everyone's faces, and chuckled, "This distance is only an estimate. The exact distance is probably much greater than that, and difficult to describe in detail."

Han Li asked in a dazed voice, "Do we still have a chance to go back?"

This distance far exceeded his imagination.

When he traveled from the Seven Mysteries Gate to the Yue Kingdom, he already felt that the journey was long and the world was vast.

Compared to this, it's like a stream to the vast ocean.

As far as he knew, the Tiannan region was already quite vast, bordering the "Boundless Sea".

It is said that even a Nascent Soul cultivator could not see the end of the path even after a year of full-force flight.

Will he ever be able to return to his homeland in the south in this lifetime?

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianghe smiled faintly: "Why not?"

His gaze swept over the three men, each with a different expression, and he said calmly, "Although there are conflicts here, they are mostly between humans and demons, unlike the numerous kingdoms, the righteous and the demonic forces, and the complex situation in the south. For the three of you, seeking an opportunity to achieve enlightenment here is much easier than being isolated in a corner of the south."

Lu Jianghe's gaze finally landed on Yan Ruyan, his tone carrying a hint of amusement.

"Of course, it might be a different story for this young lady of Yan Family Fortress. With her Heavenly Spiritual Root talent and the backing of the Ghost Spirit Sect, she can easily obtain some cultivation resources. It was just that I impulsively abducted her here, which was indeed a bit too much for her."

If she had heard these words before the teleportation, she might have maintained a certain reserve and chosen to remain silent.

But at this moment, being in this distant alien realm called the Chaotic Star Sea, this distance is what frightens me.

"In truth, as a junior member of the Ghost Spirit Sect, I am merely bound by circumstances and unable to control myself."

Yan Ruyan spoke quickly, her voice tinged with urgency, afraid that if she was a step too slow, she would miss the chance to express her feelings.

"If it weren't for you, senior, I might have been trapped in that cage for the rest of my life, with the end in sight. Besides, I don't want to be the fiancée of Wang Chan, the young master of the Ghost Spirit Sect. Your actions are not kidnapping, but rather a rescue from the cage, freeing me from being confined to a small place."

Han Li gave her a deep look.

He had previously participated in a treasure hunt held in Yanjiabao and almost got caught in it.

Unexpectedly, she was the young lady of Yan Family Fortress who possessed the aptitude of a Heavenly Spiritual Root.

I wonder if she was involved in that plot against the six factions...

Upon hearing this, Lu Jianghe smiled and said, "You don't need to flatter me. It was just something I did on a whim, and it's hardly the act of a gentleman. Of course, if you were of average appearance, I probably wouldn't have had this 'casual' thought."

Upon hearing such direct and explicit words, Yan Ruyan's fair and delicate earlobes instantly flushed an alluring pink, and her cheeks felt slightly hot.

Lu Jianghe stopped joking and changed the subject seriously, saying, "Alright, since we're here, let's make the best of it. Although I know this place is called Chaotic Star Sea, I don't know much about its human structure and power dynamics. The most urgent thing is to find a populated island or market to settle down and find out what the situation is like here. Once we have a clear understanding, we can make long-term plans for the three of you."

Xin Ruyin didn't have any objections to this.

A sense of curiosity arose in my heart.

There were clearly four people present, not counting Senior Lu himself.

He was himself, Yan Ruyan, Han Li, and the person standing motionless next to Han Li.

Such an obvious mistake would be impossible for someone of Senior Lu's cultivation level.

When she first heard it, she thought it was a slip of the tongue by Senior Lu, but now that he specifically emphasized the three of them, it was obviously not an unintentional mistake.

Their gazes finally settled once again on the silent companion beside Han Li.

This person stood still like a rock from beginning to end, his face concealed, his aura restrained, and he had no presence whatsoever.

Aside from mentioning that he was carrying Qu Hun at the end of the initial teleportation, Han Li never spoke again, nor was he mentioned separately.

Yan Ruyan was also a clever and quick-witted person. After a moment's thought, her gaze fell on Xin Ruyin.

The same applies to Han Li.

One time might be a coincidence, but two times being deliberately ignored is certain.

Although he was unsure whether the other party already knew Qu Hun's true background, Lu Jianghe had already ruled out Qu Hun.

If one did not see through its puppet nature, one would not make such a distinction.

The thought immediately made Han Li feel uneasy.

Lu Jianghe realized that Qu Hun was not a living person, and he also saw that the person under the mask was Zhang Tie.

At that point, even if he wanted to defend himself, he would be unable to produce any evidence to prove that Zhang Tie's ordeal was unrelated to him, and he would be unable to defend himself no matter what.

Lu Jianghe had no time to guess what the others were thinking. Seeing their different expressions, he didn't bother to investigate further.

With a wave of his hand, a gentle spiritual energy instantly enveloped everyone, including Qu Hun.

"I'm gone."

Before the words were even finished, the group transformed into streaks of azure light, tearing through the sea breeze and speeding towards the distant ocean.

At the same time, Lu Jianghe subtly moved his mind and pushed his divine sense to its limit, instantly covering a hundred-mile radius of the sea.

Blue waves roll, seabirds take flight in fright, and schools of fish swim underwater...

Every subtle fluctuation of spiritual energy and the aura of living beings within a hundred miles was clearly reflected in his sea of ​​consciousness.

His goal is very clear.

Look for cargo ships that have been trading, or any signs of inhabited islands.

He clearly remembered that the deserted island he had been teleported to was located in the "Inner Star Sea" region of the Chaotic Star Sea. As long as he could find any one of the twenty-four star islands in the Inner Star Sea, he could use it as an anchor point to roughly deduce the location of his final destination, the massive "Celestial Star City".

This speed is not considered fast.

But what truly shocked them was that Lu Jianghe could carry four people at the same time and fly with such ease.

Almost simultaneously, the same thought occurred to all three of them.

His level of skill seems to have reached a higher level, making him stronger than before.

Yan Ruyan was the most shocked.

She had experienced the oppressive aura of a Nascent Soul cultivator up close.

The oppressive feeling was like a mountain collapsing, suffocating.

However, what Lu Jianghe was displaying at this moment was a realm that was even more difficult to understand.

There was no overwhelming sense of oppression; instead, it was as if one had transformed into a world of one's own, and the power was no longer outwardly sharp but rather inwardly restrained.

The flight was so smooth, and carrying the four people was so easy, which instantly reminded her of the vague descriptions in the Ghost Spirit Sect's classic texts of the profound magical power of Nascent Soul cultivators.
