Winds Rise Across Kyushu

Perhaps it was to silence him?

After all, the previous night, after this woman killed Xiang Dongliu, Lu Ye had met her gaze for an instant as she flew over the Chen family estate.

As Lu Ye was rushing forward and about to summon his Dragon Throne, a fragrant breeze assaulted him. Immediately after, the woman appeared before him like a phantom.

She gently raised a palm and pressed it towards him. In that instant, every hair on Lu Ye's body stood on end.

He couldn't even clearly see what happened before her slender, jade-like palm struck his chest. Lu Ye's body suddenly stiffened, his spiritual power dissipating, leaving him unable to muster any strength.

The disparity... was too great.

This woman was definitely not an ordinary Divine Sea Realm cultivator. Her strength was even greater than that of Liu Yuemei, whom Lu Ye had encountered that day!

It made sense. Xiang Dongliu was also a Divine Sea Realm cultivator, yet he couldn't even last thirty breaths under her hands before perishing on the spot. How could her strength be anything but extraordinary?

Amber, who was crouching on Lu Ye's shoulder, roared furiously. Its demonic essence surged, revealing its true form, and it opened its massive maw to bite the woman.

However, the woman merely chuckled lightly and said, "Go away." Her voice was soft and alluring, causing ripples in one's heart.

With a casual wave, Amber was sent flying.

Flying out alongside Amber were also Juji and Xiao Xinghe.

Their reactions were extremely fast. They had reacted as soon as Lu Ye shouted, but instead of running, they had charged forward right behind him, now suffering the same fate.

A clang rang out as an overwhelming barrage of flying swords shot forth. These flying swords were naturally Li Baxian's technique, and behind them were the spells cast by Feng Yuechan.

The two had cultivated together since childhood, already possessing a tacit understanding. With their coordination, even cultivators several levels above them would be overwhelmed.

However, the disparity in their cultivation was simply too vast. Facing the multitude of flying swords and spells, the woman didn't even glance at them; she merely let out a soft breath from her mouth.

This breath materialized into a pink mist.

The flying swords and spells collided with the pink mist, instantly losing all their power.

The mist spread, enveloping the area where everyone stood, causing them all to become disoriented.

Lu Ye had approached the woman's side unnoticed. Before he could launch his surprise attack, he was enveloped by the pink mist, his figure staggering as he was revealed. His hastily launched strike posed no threat whatsoever.

"A bunch of uninteresting little fellows," the woman's soft voice echoed again. She grabbed Lu Ye's arm with one hand and shot into the sky.

They vanished in an instant.

Juji and the Divine Sea Realm cultivators struggled to their feet, also affected by the pink mist, feeling dizzy and disoriented.

After a good while, Xiao Xinghe's alarmed cry finally rang out: "Oh no! The captain has been captured!"

Her cultivation was the highest, and she recovered the fastest. Although affected by the pink mist, the woman clearly had no intention of killing them; she merely incapacitated them temporarily.

"Quick... send a message!" the Divine Sea Realm cultivator gritted his teeth and shouted.

Lu Ye's group then awoke as if from a dream and quickly sent out messages.

A moment later, the pink mist dissipated, and everyone sat down to meditate, slowly recovering. Recalling the scene just now, they were all profoundly shocked.

"Who was that?" Li Baxian asked. "Why did she capture our senior brother?"

The Divine Sea Realm cultivator shook his head: "I don't know." He paused before adding, "For now, it seems our senior brother's life is not in danger."

If that woman truly intended to kill, not one person present could have escaped; the power disparity was immense. But she didn't kill anyone in the team; she merely captured Lu Ye and left, clearly having another motive.

However, with Lu Ye captured, even if his life wasn't in danger, the situation was far from optimistic. Who knew what that woman intended to do with Lu Ye?

Meanwhile, in Haotian City, at the Law Enforcement Hall, Qian Wudang received Lu Ye's group's message, and his expression immediately changed.

He had just ordered Lu Ye to lead his team back to Haotian City for a report, yet in the blink of an eye, Lu Ye had been captured by a mysterious woman.

What exactly was happening?

Too many things had happened in the past few days.

The Chen family had suddenly caused such trouble, with Lu Ye leading a team to slaughter all the cultivators there. Following that, an insect tide erupted beneath Mist Cliff, and now a mysterious woman had suddenly intervened and captured Lu Ye. Such a series of unexpected events made it impossible to cope.

Looking at the numerous changes over the past few days, the Chen family was undoubtedly the source, and it could even be said that Mist Cliff was within the Chen family's jurisdiction.

Qian Wudang vaguely felt as if an invisible hand was subtly pushing things forward behind the scenes.

The Chen family was merely a chess piece placed on the surface; behind the scenes, there were many things he couldn't see.

After a brief contemplation, he immediately sent a message to Tang Yifeng.

In any case, the capture of Lu Ye still needed to be reported to the Sect Master.

When the Sect Master received the message, he was in a meeting with the Elder Council. A group of elderly men and women were endlessly bickering, almost to the point of rolling up their sleeves for a fight, and the situation was chaotic.

Upon receiving the message, the Sect Master immediately rose.

A moment later, a figure shot out of Haotian City, heading directly towards the Chen family's location.

Meanwhile, in mid-air, strong winds buffeted Lu Ye's face as the scenery below rapidly receded. His brows furrowed, feeling the situation becoming increasingly perplexing.

He couldn't understand why this mysterious woman wanted to capture him!

He had initially thought the other party was there to silence him, but now it didn't seem so. If she truly intended to kill him, she could have done so just now.

Therefore, she wasn't here to kill him.

Realizing this, Lu Ye's heart relaxed. Since she wasn't going to kill him, his life was temporarily not in danger.

As for her purpose in capturing him, Lu Ye couldn't figure it out.

He had had two previous encounters with members of this mysterious organization. Lu Ye could sense that they seemed interested in recruiting him, but if it was about recruiting, why capture him?

Lu Ye genuinely didn't want to get involved with such an organization, which was why, during his second encounter with their members, he fought them without hesitation, indirectly showing his attitude and stance.

But now it seemed that some things were ultimately unavoidable. At this very moment, he was being carried by the woman, rapidly fleeing.

He didn't resist, mainly because he couldn't. The woman's palm strike to his chest earlier had disrupted his spiritual energy, which hadn't yet stabilized.

"You won't escape," Lu Ye suddenly spoke.

If it were any other time, being captured like this might truly lead to dire consequences, but at present, within this hundreds-of-miles radius, many powerful cultivators were present. His team must have already sent out messages, and the Law Enforcement Department would surely take action. With the Law Enforcement Department leading, the powerful cultivators from Lu Ye's region could be quickly mobilized. Although the mysterious woman was strong, taking him away under such circumstances would be a delusion.

So Lu Ye wasn't panicked in the slightest.

"What if I escape?" the woman replied, her voice still soft and alluring, like a lover whispering in his ear.

"Then you're truly skilled!" Lu Ye said, trying to make conversation, primarily to distract her.

"How about we make a bet? If you manage to escape, I'll cut out your tongue. If you don't, we die together, how does that sound?"

Lu Ye quickly shut his mouth.

No matter what, he had no good outcome, so it was better not to take that bet.

This woman was truly vicious!

The woman chuckled softly, "Why are you silent now?"

Just then, a figure swiftly approached from ahead. Before reaching them, it roared, "Release him!"

Reinforcements!

Lu Ye was overjoyed. Although he didn't recognize this Lin Yinxiu, he knew for sure they were there to intercept the woman. He secretly began to channel his spiritual energy, intending to sneak attack the venomous woman as soon as the two sides clashed. He didn't aim to seriously harm her, just to cause some trouble and increase his chances of escape.

However, the mysterious woman had already anticipated him. Just as Lu Ye began to channel his spiritual energy, he felt a powerful force surge from the woman's palm. This fierce power poured into his body, instantly scattering his spiritual energy, which he had so painstakingly gathered.

He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, unable to channel his spiritual energy further.

Facing the intercepting Lin Yinxiu, the mysterious woman showed no intention of dodging; she met him head-on.

Their auras and spiritual energies erupted with a bang, and divine sense surged incessantly.

Lu Ye couldn't clearly see how the two exchanged blows. He only knew that in the instant their figures intersected, a muffled groan was heard, and then the interceptor, Lin Yinxiu, plummeted diagonally downwards. The woman's figure merely paused for a moment before continuing to speed forward.

That person was no match for this woman! And the disparity was immense!

If given enough time, the woman could even effortlessly kill that person.

Lu Ye's heart sank.

As they proceeded, more cultivators constantly flew through the air, attempting to intercept the mysterious woman.

All of them were casually dispatched by her, further making Lu Ye realize the woman's terrifying strength.

The stronger she appeared, the heavier Lu Ye's mood became.

It wasn't until a magnificent aura rapidly approached from the direction of Haotian City that Lu Ye's expression brightened with joy, for he sensed that the aura belonged to the Sect Master!

"A troublesome fellow has arrived!" the mysterious woman clearly recognized the Sect Master's power. She turned her head to glance in that direction, her expression becoming serious.

"My Sect Master is here! Release me at once, or you'll die without a burial place!" Lu Ye said fiercely.

"So it's Tang Yifeng..." the woman suddenly realized. "Can't provoke him!"

As she said this, her figure suddenly plummeted downwards.

In the distance, the Sect Master's gaze was like a torch. He sternly shouted, "No matter who you are, if you dare harm my disciple, I will tear you to shreds, even if I have to chase you to the ends of the earth!"

The woman landed with Lu Ye before a cave. She turned around, looked at the Sect Master who was approaching with immense power, and bowed gracefully: "Grand Elder Tang, greetings. This humble one merely wishes to borrow your disciple for a period; I absolutely will not harm him. Please rest assured, Grand Elder Tang."

Saying this, she grabbed Lu Ye's collar, turned, and entered the cave.

Nearby, Tang Yifeng watched the scene, speeding up his pace even further.

Inside the cave, Lu Ye turned his head to look around, and a foreboding feeling suddenly rose in his heart.

Sure enough, as the woman's spiritual energy surged around her, intricate patterns lit up within the cave. In an instant, a grand formation was activated.

Where the grand formation enveloped, the void distorted.

"A teleportation array!" Lu Ye's heart sank to rock bottom.
