Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

Lu Ci asked about some mundane matters and the battles that had taken place in recent years, and found that they all matched the course of events in their memories. Through further probing, he learned that his elder brother Lu Ren was still alive, and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And Gao Mei's anxious heart quietly settled down.

She knew that her father, Gao Yingcai, and several senior members and elders in the sect had all died in the battle of Mianshan.

According to her disciples, her father had the opportunity to leave, but in the end, he died at the hands of the Quanxing sorcerers and the Japanese devils in order to avenge her.

Before Mianshan, there was the interception battle when Biheren landed in Shanghai.

At that time, all four sects—Putuo Temple, Longhu Mountain, and Shangqing—participated. Now, the battle of interception has not yet occurred, which means she has enough time to deal with the other beast first.

Just then, Gao Mei spoke up.

"Shopkeeper, find out the whereabouts of a Quanxing demon for me. Name your price, I can afford it."

"oh?"

"Who are you looking for, elder sister? I'll try my best to help." Liu Wei's eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of wariness appearing on his face.

He wasn't sure if the peasant woman in front of him was a member of the Quanxing Demon Clan or an enemy he had a grudge against.

However, over the years he has been running the inn, quite a few members of the Quanxing sect, a motley crew, have sneaked in to gather information. Some were unknown, and some were newly joined henchmen. He couldn't always catch them.

“Liang Ting,” Gao Mei said coldly.

When Liu Wei heard the name, he didn't sense any murderous intent, but his intuition told him that the two were definitely enemies.

"Finding him is easy, but he's incredibly skilled. He's a disciple of the 'Soft Bone Ink Tendon' lineage, and after mastering his techniques, he slaughtered his entire sect. He's made countless enemies in the martial world since then, yet he remains free and unfettered for decades..."

At this point, Liu Wei paused briefly and offered the following advice:

“Alas, elder sister, forgive my bluntness, but if you want to seek revenge against him, I'm afraid that you and this elder brother alone are far from enough manpower. And I cannot bear to take your lives. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way. If I let you die in vain because of money, my conscience will not be at peace. Please think twice.”

Seeing this, Lü Ci, a colleague who had gone through thick and thin with him for several years, decisively helped.

He had somehow managed to pull a piece of gold from his pocket, slamming it down on the table with a dull thud. He smiled faintly, but his words left no room for refusal:

"Personal grudges are none of your concern, Manager Liu. We're only here to discuss business."

"Please tell us, innkeeper, where is that sorcerer now?"

Gao Mei continued to press, her aged and deep eyes revealing a terrifying chill.

Even though so many years have passed and she eventually let go of her hatred, how could she not settle scores now that she has such a rare opportunity?

To humiliate oneself.

Father murder.

Based on these two points alone, she was determined to cut this beast into a human stick. She wanted to see who dared to stop her, who could stop her.

Faced with Lü Ci and Gao Mei's demands, Liu Wei sighed, put away the gold in front of him, signifying his acceptance of the deal and that he would bear the consequences himself. Then he silently got up, walked into the dark room behind the curtain, and left behind these words.

"Wait for me, it won't take more than an hour."

After speaking, Liu Wei's figure disappeared into the dimly lit room.

Lu Ci and Gao Mei waited patiently, and after about half an hour, they got the result.

Liu Wei, who had returned, used a special communication technique to contact his informants outside and confirmed the latest information.

"They were in a grotto in the desert somewhere in Dunhuang, and they just went in yesterday."

"Accompanying Liang Ting were Wu Gensheng, the leader of the Quanxing Sect; Wu Man, the Layman Mo Ming; Xia Liuqing, the cunning clown; and Jin Feng..."

“My brothers here started investigating this Wugensheng a long time ago. His origins are unknown, as if he appeared out of thin air. We can’t find his whereabouts. Every time we follow him, we are discovered at the crucial moment and lose the clues.”

"This time is the same. I can only give you a general location. You will have to find the specific traces yourself."

"One last thing, there are a lot of them, so be careful, you two."

Liu Wei reeked of alcohol and was carrying a gourd of wine in his hand as he earnestly offered his advice.

In his view, the two people, who looked like peasants, even if they had some Qi cultivation skills, were far inferior to the grandmasters who possessed both mechanical and talismanic skills. Not to mention the other demons present, this trip was likely to be a perilous one.

"Dunhuang?"

Upon learning the location of her enemy, Gao Mei breathed a sigh of relief and then said, "Thank you, shopkeeper. May I ask you for another favor?"

"Big sister, tell me, I'll try my best." Liu Wei tilted his head back and drank, somewhat drunk.

"Send a message to the Tang Clan: come here to pick up Liang Ting in three days."

"?!"

Upon hearing Gao Mei's words, Liu Wei was stunned. It seemed that he had been narrow-minded and misjudged her.

"Alright, I'll take care of this. As for whether the Tang Clan members are willing to come, that's up to them."

Liu Wei agreed without hesitation.

"Then I wish you both a safe and triumphant return."

"Goodbye."

Gao Mei stood up to say goodbye without any hesitation, and Lü Ci followed closely behind.

After leaving the inn, the two figures, like ghosts, instantly teleported thousands of meters away. Gao Mei, using her magical abilities and teleportation skills, immediately shook off any suspicious eyes and ears in the city.

"President Gao, if you need any help, just say so. My skills in dealing with people are no worse than your Tang Clan's."

In his early years, Lü Ci had a connection with the Tang Clan and had heard about this matter. Knowing the grudges between the two sides, he wanted to lend a helping hand.

"Thanks... Let's go."

Gao Mei gazed into the distance, towards the northwest, with Dunhuang far away. Her words showed little emotional fluctuation, only a purer killing intent.

"Boom!!!"

In the next instant, two afterimages created a terrifying sonic boom. Like monsters, they sped across the vast land, bringing a deafening roar, heading straight for Dunhuang at a speed close to Mach 3, their bodies enveloped in sharp, blade-like air currents.

As the distance between them continued to shrink, Gao Mei's gaze grew increasingly cold.

In less than half an hour, the two traversed mountains and valleys, crossing four or five provinces, and arrived in Dunhuang.

What lay before them was a desolate, even somewhat dilapidated town, and beyond the town stretched an endless desert.

They headed straight into the depths of the desert, and after walking for a while, Lü Ci stopped.

"This is enough. They can't hide anywhere. It will take some time to find them."

"Okay, then it's hard work."

Gao Mei knew what he wanted to do.

Then, Lü Ci squatted down, his hands radiating a dazzling and powerful azure light. He lightly touched the sand on the ground, releasing invisible ripples that spread wildly and rapidly, reaching a hundred meters away in less than half a breath.

Moreover, without causing any disturbance, the Qi he controlled was compressed to its extreme and was now sweeping across the entire desert like an ultrasonic radar.

Within a radius of 1 kilometers...

Within a radius of 5 kilometers...

Within a radius of 20 kilometers...

Within a radius of 50 kilometers...

Over the past 10 minutes, Lü Ci's Qi swept across a large amount of soil underground, capturing the echoes and vibrations caused by various kinds of creatures walking on the ground.

Suddenly, a cruel smile curved his lips, and he said:

"Hey, we found them, Chairman Gao, there really are 5 monsters."

"lead the way."

"call out--!"

"Boom!!!"

Without exchanging a word, the two set off again, stirring up billowing clouds of dust and creating a terrifying, piercing sound, as if a natural disaster had struck.

For them, a 70-kilometer distance is just a two-minute journey.

Meanwhile, somewhere in the desert, Wugensheng, who had shaved his head and was dressed in a gray kasaya, led Liang Ting, Xia Liuqing, and Jin Feng to find a cave left by a Buddhist master for Wu Man, so that she could go into seclusion and comprehend profound truths. However, they all suddenly changed color.

They sensed something amiss behind them, as if some terrifying beast was approaching. A faint but palpable killing intent filled the air, and they instinctively felt a deadly threat. Turning around, they saw a tornado roaring towards them, and dark clouds stretching for miles, obscuring the rising sun.

"?!"

Just as Wu Man was about to step into the cave, she was also uncontrollably terrified. She turned around abruptly, staring at the strange celestial phenomenon with an extremely solemn expression.

"Then what the hell is it?"

Liang Ting said in astonishment, not yet realizing the seriousness of the matter, but only having a vague sense of danger.

"We have to escape quickly! Sect Leader, that's a natural disaster. If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

Xia Liuqing shouted from the side, and Jin Feng urged anxiously.

"Let's go! Sect Leader, what are you waiting for?"

However, the next moment, as if he had foreseen something, Wugensheng's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints.

Enveloped by two indescribable auras of danger, his face paled as he vaguely saw two unknown figures within the blurry tornado.

It was all too late.

Can't escape!

The moment the thought crossed his mind, a middle-aged man and a peasant woman appeared out of nowhere a dozen meters away from them, scrutinizing them as if they were prey.

The killing intent was like a raging sea. At their first meeting, the five people's expressions changed drastically. The overwhelming difference in strength caused their bodies to tremble instinctively.

Grandmaster, Great Grandmaster, Supreme Grandmaster.

This is the realm of an extraordinary person's inner exploration and cultivation, representing their achievement in their field. Above the Supreme Grandmaster is the realm of a terrestrial immortal.

This level of strength is roughly equivalent to a Level 5 Awakener, which is the combat power that Lü Ci and Gao Mei currently possess.

Faced with an unknown enemy two realms below them, Wu Gensheng, Wu Man, Liang Ting, and the others felt an unshakable intuition.

"May I ask what brings you two seniors to this place?"

Wugensheng steadied himself and quickly recovered. He asked politely, while secretly making preparations by quietly activating his divine spirit in case of unforeseen circumstances.

Liang Ting met the peasant woman's gaze and sensed her intense killing intent. Instead of being afraid, he felt an unusual excitement; her eyes were so similar to those of the enemies he had killed that he lost his temper and grinned maliciously.

"Hey, why are you staring at me like that? Have I offended you or killed one of your relatives?"

"Boom!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he regretted it. His vision blurred, and he couldn't react to what was happening. His head, along with his deformed, obese, and hunchbacked body, was suddenly grabbed by an invisible hand and slammed onto the gravel on the ground.

"Ahhh!!!"

The dense sand pierced through his skin and seeped into his muscles. A pig-like scream rang out. The sand, which should have been soft and loose, was violently dented into a terrifying pit, seeping with bright red blood. Liang Ting's facial bones shattered and collapsed as he desperately roared.

"!!!"

Wu Gensheng, Wu Man, Xia Liuqing, and Jin Feng all froze on the spot. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would have found it hard to believe that this peasant-like woman could slap Liang Ting so hard that his head was split open and he was powerless to resist, with just a slight raise of her hand.

Liang Ting was one of the people still in the process of being saved from suffering. When he saw that Liang Ting was in trouble, he wanted to help, but he hesitated for some reason. He didn't even dare to use the divine spirit he relied on the most.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Trapped in a desperate situation, Liang Ting struggled, and from the holes in his abdomen and back, worm-like weapons shot out, directly attacking the attacker.

"Oh!"

Before even getting close, under the influence of the Wind After the Magic Array, the weight suddenly increased countless times. When it fell to the ground, it was like a chain weighing tens of thousands of pounds, controlling Liang Ting so that he could not move.

"You lowly wench, you whore, I'm going to kill you!"

He roared like a wild beast, desperately pleading for help, clinging to the last straw.

"Wugensheng! Old Wu! Help me!!"

However, the two people, feeling uneasy, dared not make any further moves.

Liang Ting, whose strength is similar to theirs, has been dealt with like this. If they insist on fighting him, they will only be throwing their lives away.

"Pfft!!!"

The surrounding soil coalesced and took shape, transforming into a sand spear that pierced Liang Ting's right leg. The pain was so intense that his eyes widened in agony, and he began to curse loudly.

"You beasts, you bastards, I'm going to kill you all!!!"

"Pfft!!"
