ultivators remains eternal. Even this replica allows us to experience the grandeur and courage of those ancient cultivators who battled the wilderness! ” The blind old man and others laughed heartily...But soon, Lu Xiaotiao's gaze shifted away from the other person. He looked around but couldn't find Xiang Hua and Yu Xiaoqiao. Lu Xiaotiao couldn't help but be surprised. Logically speaking, these two should have arrived. How could they not even be visible Could something have happened to them

Just as Lu Xiaotian was pondering, Zhao Li, from a distance, seemed to notice something amiss. Without anyone realizing it, he slipped out of the crowd and turned towards a more secluded corner of the pleasure boat.

Lu Xiaitian's lips twitched slightly. This giant ship was bustling with activity. Those low-level cultivators all wanted to win in the competition, hoping to marry a beautiful woman and also get close to General Zhenyuan, Hou Lie. Although General Zhenyuan was still only at the Jindan stage, his strength was extraordinary, and the chance of him advancing to the Yuanying stage was very high. It would be best to get on his good side sooner rather than later.

However, Lu Xia Tian wasn't here for that. He took a step back, shifted his weight subtly, and quietly approached Zhao Li.

Zhao Li walked among the crowd for a while, then his figure disappeared into the pavilion on the giant ship. As he entered the pavilion, a layer of restriction automatically opened, letting Zhao Li in.

This prohibition is not particularly powerful; its main purpose is to serve as a warning.

With a thought, Lu Xiaofeng's Inner Displacement Mirror trembled slightly. A figure exactly like Lu Xiaofeng floated out. However, Lu Xiaofeng's current appearance of yellowed skin and sickly pallor was due to the use of a Shape-Shifting Pill. The Displacement Mirror, however, was unaffected by the pill. The phantom that appeared was an exact replica of Lu Xiaofeng in his original form. By now, Lu Xiaofeng had become quite proficient in controlling the Inner Displacement Mirror. The phantom moved like any ordinary person, walking around the giant ship for a while before disappearing into the restriction. The restriction merely fluctuated slightly and did not cause much disturbance.

"Huh" At that moment, on a lavishly decorated giant ship, in a richly appointed room, a man with a crimson robe, wrinkles etched across his face, and an air of violence about him, furrowed his brows, as if he had sensed something.

"What's wrong, senior" Zhao Li asked cautiously.

"It's nothing, just wait here for a while." The man with a face full of wrinkles swayed his body and left the room. After a while, he came back again.

"It's really strange. Normally, the Yuezhen Formation wouldn't fluctuate if no one touched it. Could it be that someone else on board accidentally triggered the prohibition" The man with a face full of wrinkles pondered for a long time, but he didn't come up with a good answer.

Back in the room, Zhao Li was still respectfully waiting there.

“Has the person you asked for news about contacted you” the wrinkled man asked as soon as he entered the room.

“Not yet.” Zhao Li said, his expression a little unnatural.

“After infiltrating the Yuan family for so long, I haven't even heard a single piece of news. What use are you” The man with a face full of wrinkles spoke with a hint of anger in his voice.

"Since Yuan Jing’s fall, the Yuan family has been on high alert. Any slight movement from the younger generation would be noticed by the Yuan family." Zhao Li smiled bitterly. Under such circumstances, let alone gathering information, it was already a good thing to temporarily stabilize their position and avoid being discovered by the Yuan family.

> "Since that's the case, pay close attention to those young cultivators who haven't grown up yet and have greater potential. Record everything about them."

"Yes, senior." Zhao Li nodded.

"Try to find out as much as you can about Yuan Ye. Your aptitude is not bad. If you can make enough contributions to the clan, forming an infant core might not be impossible." The wrinkled man smiled faintly. After a while, Zhao Li exited the room on the giant ship. At this time, the sparring between those young cultivators on the ship had entered its state, with shouts and cries of battle filling the air. Zhao Li, however, had already left the ship first, flying towards the vast water surface. A figure retreated from within the barrier and merged into Lu Xia Tian's main body."What kind of game are the Zhao clan people playing" Lu Xiao Tian frowned, his brow furrowed. Since Yuan Jing was besieged by cultivators from various factions, Lu Xiao Tian had felt that he was caught in a huge trap. Although understanding what this game meant might lead him deeper into danger, being completely ignorant would also risk being crushed without knowing why by these forces.

Lu Xia Tian was accustomed to planning carefully before acting and disliked things that were out of his control. Even if he wasn't interested in the other party's schemes, at least he didn't want to be passively accepting everything when big changes came.

Shortly after Zhao Li left, Lu Xiaotian also swiftly followed and submerged into the vast expanse of water, leisurely trailing behind Zhao Li.

The lake was quite large, nearly spanning a thousand miles as he flew. Lu Xiaotian had just thought of intercepting Zhao Li when suddenly Zhao Li stopped and turned back to look.

“No, a mere Golden Core cultivator couldn't possibly discover his whereabouts.” Lu Xiaotian’s divine sense spread outward, and a sharp killing intent surged up from the water below.

It seemed like he had fallen into the opponent's trap. That Nascent Soul cultivator was indeed cunning. Lu Xiaoteng's eyebrows shot up, a cold smile playing on his lips. He extended his left palm and with a light stroke forward, a sword glow plunged into the water. The lake water, which had been rippling softly, suddenly split like it was being cleaved by a sharp blade. With the sword qi as its center, it surged outwards, forming waves dozens of meters high, a truly spectacular sight.

Two distinct and powerful forces collided, their clash creating a shower of water. In the midst of it all, Lu Xiaoteng stood calmly on the lake's surface, water droplets falling around him but not touching his body.

“My lord, your reaction is quite quick. To be able to calmly receive my strike in this situation is truly extraordinary. With your strength, you shouldn't be an unknown figure. Why have I never heard of someone like you” A man dressed in blue, resembling fish skin, emerged from the water, revealing only his sharp eyes. He looked at Lu Xiaodao with a drifting gaze.

"Where's that ugly companion of yours Why isn't he showing up" Lu Xia Tian smiled faintly, glanced around, and two tiny black dots shot towards him like meteors chasing the moon.

One of them was the middle-aged man with a face full of wrinkles who had just been on the giant boat, and the other one was the thin old woman who had participated in the siege of the Yuan family cultivators in the Bingxi Valley. Her face was probably only the size of a palm, with a pair of triangular eyes that were cold and looked like a venomous snake. Her grayish-white hair was covered with a layer of frost. As soon as this old woman appeared, an astonishing chill swept over her, and the lake surface even showed signs of freezing.

"Your methods are impressive, managing to slip past my restrictions on this giant vessel. If not for the restrictions' response itself, I would have barely noticed. With a little trickery, I managed to lure you here. Now, tell me your intentions. To which faction do you belong, and what is your purpose" The middle-aged man with a face full of wrinkles looked at Lu Xiaodao with a triumphant expression.

"I was just passing by in my spare time, I wonder what the three of you are doing stopping me here Are you thinking of using your numbers to bully me" Lu Xia Tian cursed inwardly. That damn Shifting Mirror, although somewhat miraculous, had been noticed by the other party after all, leading to him being surrounded by these three people at this moment.
