Together, Long Yu and Shu Chan narrowly avoided the cheetah demon cultivators and quickly left the dense forest.
However, Long Yu always felt that someone was following him secretly, but he could not detect the other person's location and identity, which made him extremely alert.
Long Yu knew very well that he was in extreme danger anytime and anywhere, and he would die if he was not careful.
"There is a lake ahead, let's jump in."
Long Yu quickly pointed to a lake in front and said to Shu Chan.
Shu Chan frowned: "What are you jumping for?"
"I feel like someone is following us. Let's jump down. If he continues to chase us, we won't be able to hide in the water."
Long Yu whispered.
"Um… "
Shu Chan was stunned for a moment, then nodded. She didn't even notice that someone was following her. Was her perception really that poor compared to Long Yu
The two approached the lake and were about to jump off when a black-robed figure suddenly appeared beside them: "Princess, wait!"
The voice stopped the two men from jumping into the lake. They turned their heads and looked at the black-robed figure. Judging from the man's attire, he should be a disciple of the Shadow Demon Sect in Shura County.
The reason why Shadow Demon Sect is called "Trace" instead of "Sect" is because the people in this sect come and go without a trace, and they practice an extremely powerful method of concealment!
"A member of the Demon Sect?"
Shu Chan stopped what she was doing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Why are you here?"
"This is the princess's subordinate, Long Yu, right?"
The six-path magic realm disciple of Mozong did not directly answer Shu Chan's words, but turned his gaze to Long Yu on the side, and said with some admiration: "I heard that when Long Yu was in the Heavenly Tribulation Realm, he defeated the three-path magic realm strongman Tie Xun, shocking the entire Shura County. Today, I finally see him, and he has entered the magic realm. I think he must be even more powerful!"
In any case, meeting a disciple of Shadow Demon in a place like this made Shu Chan and Long Yu feel relieved. Since he was a disciple of Shadow Demon, he would most likely not pose any threat to them.
Soon, the two began to communicate with the Demon Sect disciple who was at the Six Paths Divine Ability Realm.
This man's name is Mo Yuan. He has been practicing in the Shadow Demon Sect for more than fifty years and has deep feelings for the sect. A while ago, Emperor Tianqin destroyed the Shadow Demon Sect. Mo Yuan relied on his powerful concealment skills to escape from the sect. Then he began to contact other disciples and prepared a plan of revenge.
The leader of Shadow Demon Sect, Shadow King, died near this dense forest in order to stop Emperor Tianqin. Mo Yuan came personally to investigate to see if Shadow King was still alive, but to his disappointment, he only found the remaining thoughts left by Shadow King.
In that thought, the Shadow King told Mo Yuan a lot of things. The first was to find Princess Shu Chan, serve her as the master, and help Shu Chan revive Shura County. The second was to return to the location of the Shadow Demon Sect, take out the things in the sect treasury, and give them to Shu Chan. The third was to take away the Shura Holy Tree in Shura Valley. The fourth was to rescue General Huo Yuanbai who was trapped in the Demon Nightmare Mountains.
Originally, Long Yu was a little cautious and doubtful about what Mo Yuan said, but after hearing these four detailed points, these doubts disappeared.
If this Demon Abyss had bad intentions towards Du Shuchan and myself, there would be no need to say all this, even telling us the method of taking away the Shura Holy Tree.
Without the guidance of the Shadow King, how could a sect disciple who was only at the Six Paths Divine Ability Realm know how to take away the Shura Sacred Tree
You have to know that it is a ruthless monster. If Long Yu didn't have the Ancient Dragon Skeleton Tower, he would have died in its hands long ago.
"In that case, let's go back to Shura County together."
Shu Chan made a decision quickly, because the Shadow Demon Trace, Shura Valley, and Demon Nightmare Mountains were all on the way from north to south.
Shu Chan was determined to get the Shadow Demon's treasure house. After all, there were a lot of cultivation resources in it. He even wanted to get the treasure of Prince Shura in Shura Valley. However, it was not easy to get any treasure house.
The Shadow Demon's Trace is not so bad, the location of the treasure house is hidden and ordinary people have no idea about it. The people of the Tianqin Dynasty must not have found it yet.
However, the treasure pavilion and martial arts tower in Shura Valley are extremely conspicuous places, and they have probably been guarded by people from the Tianqin Dynasty for a long time.
In any case, go back and take a look at the situation before making a decision.
Shadow Demon Trace is Shu Chan’s first destination.
"Princess, I will follow you. If there is any danger, I will warn you in advance, and if there is a battle, I will appear to help."
Mo Yuan said to Shu Chan respectfully.
"No need, Mo Yuan, hurry up and join the other disciples of Mo Zong. When Long Yu and I finish these things, we will leave the Tianqin Dynasty together and go to Beixue Imperial Capital. There, we have already established a firm foothold and can develop steadily for a period of time. When this county lord steps into the secret realm of the kingly way, we will start to revive Shura County."
Shu Chan showed a strong aura and let Mo Yuan leave.
She didn't want to have a guy following her all the time. It wasn't a pleasant feeling. Besides, she wasn't 100% sure that Mo Yuan really wanted to help her.
What if this guy has already defected to Emperor Tianqin, wouldn't it be a bad thing to let him follow
"Yes, Princess!"
Mo Yuan believed Shu Chan's words without a doubt. He bowed and clasped his fists in agreement, then disappeared in front of the two people.
Shu Chan and Long Yu thought about it for a while, then looked at each other.
"Do you still want to jump into the lake now?"
Shu Chan asked.
"Of course not."
Long Yu smiled.
…
The two continued on their journey, moving forward through a desolate mountain and forest. They needed to pass through three county prefectures before they could reach Shura County. Since they could not activate the Shura Spirit Boat to fly, the journey to these three county prefectures would take at least half a month.
However, since this trip was to gain experience, neither of them was too anxious.
Long Yu was just a little nervous about the news about Huo Yuanbai. This loyal veteran might not have defected to the Tianqin Dynasty and was now trapped in the Demon Nightmare Mountains. No one knew what the situation was.
It's useless for him and Shu Chan to be anxious in the face of this situation. They can only take one step at a time and go to the Nightmare Mountains to take a look first.
"We should do the opposite of what Mo Yuan said. We should rescue General Huo first, then go back to Shura Valley, and finally go to Shadow Demon Trace to look for the treasure."
Long Yu said to Shu Chan.
Shu Chan agreed with his decision because she also had some doubts about the Demon Abyss.
Fortunately, after leaving the lake, Long Yu no longer felt that anyone was following him, and he felt a lot more relieved.
The two of them slept in the open air all the way, but kept moving forward and never forgot to practice. Long Yu's comprehension of the ancient martial art Nine Nether Sky Light has improved a lot. Although he has not yet succeeded in his initial learning, he is almost there.
Shu Chan has recently been learning the method of condensing the divine chain. Her father, King Shura, had taught her this method a long time ago, so she has no shortage of methods. However, condensing the divine chain is not such a simple matter. Even if one has reached the fifth level of compatibility with the shadow attribute divine text, it is still very difficult to condense the divine chain.
Ten days later, the two entered the territory of Lieyang County. After Lieyang County, they arrived at Shura County.
Long Yu still had a slightly bad impression of Lieyang County. When he was in the Demon Nightmare Mountains, two powerful men of the Seventh Path Divine Ability Realm from Lieyang County showed up to help Deputy General Zou Li to attack General Huo Yuanbai.
Fortunately, King Shura appeared in time, otherwise General Huo Yuanbai would have been in danger.
Now, Tianyu Manor and Shura Mansion in the Beixue Dynasty are newly established forces. It would be great if Huo Yuanbai could be found to guard them with strength and status.
A strong person who has reached the realm of the Seven Paths Divine Power is considered a master even in the Beixue Dynasty, and the more power he has, the better.
However, when he arrived in Lieyang County, the feeling of being followed once again emerged in Long Yu's mind.
This time, Long Yu’s sense of crisis was even stronger!
"Shuchan, be careful of sneak attacks at any time. Let's find another lake and jump in."
When Long Yu encountered this situation, he always thought about jumping into the lake. This was the best way to find the pursuers and get rid of them.
Shu Chan was stunned when she heard this, then nodded: "Let's go."
There are naturally many lakes and rivers in Lieyang County, and they can be found just by looking around. The two of them quickly headed towards a river under a waterfall, apparently preparing to jump in.
At this moment, a strong wind suddenly appeared from behind the two of them and whistled towards them.
“Kill them!”
A middle-aged man shouted sternly, and then a strong man in the seventh level of magical power appeared behind the two of them. At the same time, four or five martial artists in the ordinary level of magical power secret realm appeared from around the two of them and launched a violent attack on them.
"God hide, get out of the way!"
Long Yu had already prepared for a sneak attack. He hugged Shu Chan at the first moment and activated the hidden word magic text. He immediately performed the invisibility method, and the two of them disappeared from everyone's sight!
There were a total of six people who launched the sneak attack, one of them was at the Seventh Level of Supernatural Power, and the other five were masters at the Threeth Level and Fourth Level of Supernatural Power. Under normal circumstances, they would be more than enough to deal with Princess Shu Chan who was at the Fourth Level of Supernatural Power, and Long Yu who was at the One Level of Supernatural Power.
It’s a pity that these people came from the Cloud Empire and had never heard of the names of Long Yu and Shu Chan, so of course they had no special preparations.
When Long Yu and Shu Chan disappeared from their sight, their expressions changed.
Even the middle-aged man in white robe who was at the seventh level of magical power found that he could not find any trace of Long Yu and Shu Chan!
The pursuers from the Cloud Empire finally caught up.
The white-robed middle-aged man who was in the Seven Dao Divine Powers Realm originally wanted to follow Long Yu and Shu Chan and wait for the others who were searching separately to gather together before taking action, but he did not expect that the two of them actually found a river to jump into.
He couldn't wait to take action. Who knew if he would be able to find their trace after they jumped into the river
However, what he didn't expect was that Long Yu and Shu Chan were not ordinary martial artists. Their actual combat capabilities were far beyond their current martial arts realm!
