The Mad Titan exerted a bit of force, flipping over to stand on the edge of the cliff. In a flash, Fairy Man Luo and May Aunt also appeared here, silently watching Lufan drift toward the seemingly bottomless abyss.
Fairy Man Luo's gaze was unusual, as if she was lost in thought.
"Sorry, miss, I couldn't catch that brat," the Mad Titan said, feeling somewhat ashamed.
"You've done your best. It's my fault for underestimating him. However, managing to escape from a master is quite an achievement in itself," Fairy Man Luo replied calmly, not particularly concerned.
As for having two martial arts masters act simultaneously, she had never considered it; that would be an insult to the masters, and their own pride would not allow such a thing.
"His escape techniques seem a bit like those from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect. Could he be one of them?" May Aunt suddenly said.
"Unlikely. The people from the Thousand Mechanisms Sect only know how to dabble in strange tricks; they wouldn't be able to cultivate someone with such courage and strategy. Moreover, the movement and sword techniques he used are not part of their Secret Techniques," Fairy Man Luo quickly dismissed the idea, showing a hint of disdain when mentioning the Thousand Mechanisms Sect.
"Then where did this person come from? I've never heard of anyone like him before," May Aunt said, puzzled. She went through all the talented young figures she knew but couldn't find anyone who matched.
"I can't figure it out either. However, the world is vast, filled with extraordinary individuals. It's possible he could be a disciple cultivated by some reclusive hermit," Fairy Man Luo speculated.
"It's a pity we couldn't catch him. His Secret Techniques are quite impressive, especially that movement technique," the Mad Titan said with some regret.
He had personally experienced it; that kid's movement was simply unreasonable. A First Rank Martial Cultivator could frequently evade attacks from a Seventh Rank master—he had never heard of such a thing before.
He didn't have much thought about that sword technique; there were plenty of powerful attacks from the Demon Sect that he could practice endlessly.
"Alright, you don't need to feel regret. I have a feeling we will encounter this person again. The battle for the sacred land quota is starting in a year, right? At that time, all the talented prodigies from across the world will gather together to compete for the chance to enter the sacred land. I believe this person won't miss such a grand event," Fairy Manluo said confidently.
"But I see he is only at the First Rank level; I'm afraid he won't be able to keep up with the event in a year. At least Fourth Rank is required to qualify," Aunt May doubted.
"Aunt May, you don't understand people like us. For us, as long as the foundation is solid, improving one's realm before reaching Seventh Rank is quite easy. Otherwise, how could we be called talented prodigies?" Fairy Manluo said proudly, as if raising her realm was as simple as eating or drinking.
However, both Aunt May and Crazy Diamond fell silent as they recalled this lady's past achievements.
On that day, in front of many experts from the Demon Sect, she broke through three realms in one day, advancing directly from First Rank to Fourth Rank Bone Refinement Realm, astonishing everyone. It remains a legend to this day.
If this masked person truly is a genius like her, then level and realm might not be an issue for him at all.
It seems there is indeed a possibility of seeing this person at that grand event in a year. I wonder who would be more extraordinary between him and the lady.
Thinking about the dazzling scene of stars colliding and talents clashing in a year, even Aunt May and Crazy Diamond, masters of martial arts, couldn't help but feel excited.
If only they knew about Lufan's situation, they probably wouldn't think this way. For him, it wasn't easy at all; every breakthrough required risking his life. It was quite tough.
"Alright, since our business here is done, we should head back," Fairy Manluo suddenly waved her hand and started walking back.
The two were taken aback and quickly followed. Aunt May asked, "Miss, are we leaving now?"
"This place has already been abandoned, what are we still doing here?"
May Aunt thought for a moment and felt a bit regretful. "It's a pity that the bottle of Primordial Liquid was taken by the Masked Man; otherwise, we could have retrieved it."
"It doesn't matter, let's just consider it helping him a bit. I'm looking forward to meeting him again in a year," said Fairy Man Luo nonchalantly.
May Aunt couldn't help but be astonished. A thousand drops of Primordial Liquid refined by a master is extremely precious, even for martial arts masters like them, yet the young lady seemed completely unfazed.
"However, it's a bit of a shame for Li Hao. He was originally quite talented, but now he can at least obtain ten Blood Demon Pills, so it wasn't entirely a wasted trip."
"Pfft, what kind of talent is he? He's just ruthless and vicious, nothing more than skin deep. To talk about the path of ultimate strength or Unity of Knowledge and Action is not that simple. The moment he faced any life-threatening danger, his true colors were revealed."
When Li Hao was mentioned, the Crazy Diamond looked disdainful, especially recalling how he had begged for help at the end.
"True enough, but since he's dead now, there's no point in discussing it," Fairy Man Luo chuckled.
Suddenly, May Aunt remembered something. "What do you think Li Zheng will do when he finds out his precious son is dead? He's not an easy character."
"Li Zheng can be considered a figure in his own right, but that's about it. He has ambition but lacks vision.
He has worked hard to manage Qingyang City for many years just to establish himself as a prominent family, yet he never considers what he's done over the years.
He imposed heavy taxes on the residents of Qingyang City and harmed the herbalists in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains. He even turned a blind eye to his son refining Blood Demon Pills, which have long been publicly banned. The alliance has long planned to deal with him; it's just that some people want to reap the benefits and are temporarily holding back."
"I came here personally to intercept the Blood Demon Pill, because soon, Qingyang City will be changing its city lord."
When Fairy Man Luo revealed this reason, the two were somewhat surprised.
"So, does this mean that Li Zheng is about to face misfortune?"
"Not necessarily. After all, he is a peak Sixth Rank figure, a rare combat force. At most, he will be reassigned to another place for re-utilization."
"In that case, the structure of Qingyang City is about to change. Who will be the winner?"
Fairy Man Luo thought for a moment and said, "It’s likely to be the Duanmu family. I’ve heard that they have a very promising girl who has a good chance of mastering the family’s Secret Technique 'Overlord.' So it’s quite possible that the alliance will consider her for the position of city lord."
The two were taken aback: "The Overlord is about to reappear in the world?"
"Yes, I didn’t expect that the heir of the Overlord would actually be a girl." Fairy Man Luo sighed a bit. "Moreover, there are rumors that she has been accepted as a student by the Master and will soon be going to the academy for further studies. She may even enter the Imperial Academy in the future."
"The Master! He is actually in Qingyang City?" The two were even more shocked. Many people are called 'Master,' but only one person is universally recognized as such.
"Yes, it's astonishing that the elusive Master, who has been out of touch for eight years, is staying in this small place called Qingyang City. Those who know his true identity must have been silenced; otherwise, there wouldn’t have been no news for so long. However, I believe those major sects are still well aware of it."
"What is the Master doing in Qingyang City?" Crazy Golden King asked curiously. What could be worth his attention in this rundown place?
"That’s also what everyone is puzzled about. All we know is that eight years ago, the Master passed through Qingyang City and suddenly decided to stay. No one knows why, but given his profound knowledge and wisdom, it’s normal for others to be unable to guess his intentions."
"Miss, are you going to pay your respects to the gentleman?"
"No, after all, I am a member of the Demon Sect. If I openly go to see him, those old-timers in the sect will have something to say. They might claim that the Demon Sect is bowing down to the righteous path."
"What are you afraid of? Those old-timers do nothing all day but scheme and plot. They're out of their minds. What kind of person is he? If he really came to the Demon Sect, would they dare not welcome him?"
"That's true, but those old-timers care most about face. Vajra, with your attitude, it's no wonder they don't like you."
"This is just my personality; I don't care whether they like me or not. By the way, Miss, I heard that Qinglian Fairy has also appeared nearby. Why don't we ambush her? I've been annoyed by that Old Taoist beside her for a long time; this time I must crush him!"
"Stop with the nonsense! It's not a good time to stir up trouble. However, I heard she came for the Supreme White Jade Mushroom, so we could cause some disruption in that regard."
"What? The Supreme White Jade Mushroom has appeared too?"
...
The three of them chatted as they walked out of the cave. No one dared to stop them along the way. With Eldest Son dead, the robbers were busy saving themselves, each thinking only of their own escape; who had time to care about others?
Now even the fire was left unattended. Soon, what was once a bustling cave was filled only with thick smoke.
