"True Dragon Lake!"
Xia Jin's expression tightened!
The smile that had just been on his face disappeared instantly, and his body reflexively leaned back sharply, moving behind Lu Ming and the other six people. One hand rested on Lu Ming's shoulder, as if he could push him forward at any moment, allowing himself to frantically escape backward.
Seeing this, the six people behind Lu Ming hurriedly stood in front of Xia Jin, forming a human wall to prevent any accidents.
Feeling surrounded securely, Xia Jin suddenly pointed at Luan Yue and the other two, "I knew there was something strange about you guys. Sure enough! Want to plot against me? No way!"
After saying this, Xia Jin felt relieved.
Thank goodness! It's fortunate that he brought seven people this time. If he had fallen into the Hidden Dragon Sect's trap relying only on his own strength, today he would be getting the short end of the stick.
Getting Bainian Xiang captured was acceptable, as she wasn't well-known. Her fame was merely due to having a good father, which brought more infamy than reputation anyway. If he were captured, given his fame among the young talents at Heaven and Earth Lake, even if his father safely redeemed him, he would become the laughingstock of the entire Heaven and Earth Lake in the future.
He couldn't bear such humiliation.
Lu Ming did not look back at Xia Jin, but in his mind, he involuntarily recalled Xia Jin's earlier cunning appearance. The more Xia Jin behaved like this, the more meticulous Lu Ming needed to be! His whole body tensed up, his feet exerted strength, the muscles in his back contracted, and with tightly clenched fists, the Vein Qi of Heaven and Earth began to converge on him.
Opening Meridian Gate, instantly doable!
Luan Yue stood motionless, laughing helplessly, "What's the matter with you?"
Luan Yue knew very well that she should not engage with this moment nor explain anything.
Explanation is just an excuse.
So she chose to ask back.
Only now did her counter-question seem somewhat helpless.
Lu Ming said, "I should have realized earlier that as the Sect Leader's daughter, Bainian Xiang appearing in Cangwu City, means there must be Hidden Dragon Sect people present. The three of you, introduce yourselves... I, Lu Ming, am indeed interested in meeting actors who enjoy pretending like you three."
These three people clearly stumbled upon them by accident.
As for whether it was as Xia Jin said, that they were plotting against him, Lu Ming didn't care, and he felt it wasn't likely. If it were a trap, how could there be only two mere Mountain Suppression Realm fighters, and even a Half-Step Mountain Suppression minion who seemed to be sent here to die?
Moreover, with Lord Situ in the city, how could the Hidden Dragon Sect dare to act so brazenly?
He wanted to know who the three were, simply because he was annoyed by the coincidence of their appearance, causing him to use eight Hidden God Grasses worth hundreds of White Crystal in vain.
Luan Yue quickly shook her head and spoke with a low-profile attitude, "Have you misunderstood something? We are just people from another lake seeking refuge with the Immortal Sect. If there's any offense or misunderstanding, we can sit down and talk slowly. I believe we can explain clearly."
"Keep pretending!" Lu Ming shouted coldly, then glanced back at Xia Jin, "Kong Feibai, Wing Yongfeng, you two protect Young Master Xia. The rest, follow me to capture these three Hidden Dragon Sect members attempting to harm Lord Situ's direct disciple and bring them to Lord Situ for punishment."
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
Accompanied by three booming Vibrating Vein Sounds, Lu Ming's Three Meridian Gate opened one after another, and Vein Qi, like a red glow, instantly spread out, illuminating Cangwu City.
Middle Realm of Mountain Suppression!
Sensing the aura that broke through the Hidden God Grass's blockade and erupted, the faces of Luan Yue and the other two changed instantly, retreating immediately. Although their meridian gates also opened, and were three gates in total, the gap was evident; how could two Lower Realms face a Taste Realm?
Moreover, there were four other people.
Those four were also in the Mountain Suppression Realm!
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Luan Yue explained while retreating, "We three really mean no harm to Xia Jin. We're just helping Immortal Sect patrol, guarding against people with ulterior motives. We're working for Immortal Sect."
Lu Ming laughed upon hearing this and said, "Then what are you doing opening your meridian gates!"
He didn't care what reason the other party had; anyway, they caused him to use eight Hidden God Grasses in vain. If they were from Immortal Sect, he would have to let it go.
But since they were from Hidden Dragon Sect, enemies of Lord Situ and Xia Jin, there was nothing more to say.
Put any blame on them and capture them to vent some anger!
Thousand Leaps·First Mechanism Realm!
As the meridian gates vibrated, pillars of fire shot up from the ground, blazing fiercely and illuminating half the sky. These fire pillars immediately imprisoned the three of Luan Yue, looking like they were constructing a coliseum, only the last one standing could find a way out.
"Thousand Leaps!"
Luan Yue and the other two looked at the completely blocked escape routes around them, their faces somewhat unsightly. Thinking about what this Vein Technique was, their hearts grew fearful. The mere name of Profound Level Upper Grade was not intimidating, the Hidden Dragon Sect was not without it, but the words Thousand Leaps were different.
It was a renowned School Vein Skill, representing the pinnacle of a vein technique school!
Representing the pinnacle of Profound Level vein techniques!
At this point, the three finally understood who was in front of them.
Lu Ming!
Confidant of Situ Xiuneng!
Only a confidant would be taught the family "Secret Technique" by Situ Xiuneng.
This pillar of fire cage is only the First Mechanism Realm.
Legend has it that Thousand Leaps has a total of four Mechanism Realms, and Situ Xiuneng once used it to counter a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted expert.
Luan Yue looked at Hei Shan and Hei Yu with a grave expression, "What should we do now?"
She had no solution.
