Chapter 457-1: Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s plan, May catch a big fish (1)
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu was very charming and beautiful with a tall and graceful figure, like a standing Buddha lotus. Her eyebrows and eyes were exquisite and the divine light was flowing all over her body, releasing a kind of brilliant glow which made it difficult to ignore its existence.
But on this street, except for Lin Wu, everyone else seemed to turn a blind eye to her. Around her body there was a special field, no one could see her unless it was the person she wanted to see.
This was not only a manifestation of profound Dao but also a rather mysterious interpretation of divine powers. The origin of Heavenly Lu City was quite ancient, it was said that it existed before the split of the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions and the Upper Realm.
The traces of Heavenly Maiden Tianlu were even more elusive. For countless epochs, there were very few creatures and cultivators who had seen her true face.
“I wonder why you are helping me. Right now, all the forces in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions feel that Luluo has fallen into the hands of the Upper Realm, and there is no hope for her. No one will choose to help me at this time.”
Lin Wu saw that Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s att.i.tude did not seem to be fake, on the contrary, she was very sincere. He also gradually let go of his heart and gave a wry smile, but he still had some doubts in his heart.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu smiled slightly and said, “Let’s talk as we walk. It has always been our responsibility to protect the safety of Heavenly Lu City and all living beings in the Eight Desolations and Ten Regions. Is there really nothing to be suspicious about?”
The street was quiet, very wide, gray and foggy, with traces of previous wars. In some places, one could still see some motionless figures who seemed to be sitting cross-legged, but there was no vitality in their bodies.
For countless years, Heavenly Lu City had stood like this between heaven and earth, resisting the invasion of the upper realm.
“I see.”
Lin Wu nodded, and silently followed behind Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, feeling a little heavy in his heart. There were not many pedestrians on the road and many of their faces were familiar to Lin Wu.
But now when they saw his expression, they were full of sympathy and intolerance. It could be said that there was a great uproar in Heavenly Lu City about the Immortal-Slaying Gourd being s.n.a.t.c.hed away by the Upper Realm.
Many people felt that Lin Wu’s behavior was too selfish. He saved a small number of people, but he would sacrifice more people in the future. However, some people knew that Lin Wu was not in charge of this matter. Even if he hadn’t handed over the gourd, it probably wouldn’t have helped.
Because Gu Changge was so strong, many people speculated that his strength had surpa.s.sed the Supreme Realm. With such a huge gap, did Lin Wu have any other choice?
And in the end, even his sweetheart was taken away.
“He’s really a poor guy. I wonder what he’ll choose to do…”
Many people watched Lin Wu’s figure gradually disappear and sighed in their hearts. But they didn’t see Heavenly Maiden Tianlu walking in front of Lin Wu.
Soon, Lin Wu and Heavenly Maiden Tianlu came to a pavilion which was a famous ancient building in Heavenly Lu City.
There was a spiritual spring bubbling next to it, the water vapors were transpiring, the immortal mist was dense and there were colorful clouds flowing nearby.
A young woman had long been waiting here. She was also dressed in white, her face was beautiful and flawless and she had an aura similar to Heavenly Maiden Tianlu.
Seeing Lin Wu and Heavenly Maiden Tianlu coming, she opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. But Holy Maiden Tianlu smiled and waved her hand, signaling that she needn’t say more.
Lin Wu was also a little puzzled. The young woman in front of her checked his age. But before this, she had never seen such a face. She tactfully didn’t ask any more questions.
“Sit down.”
After Heavenly Maiden Tianlu motioned him to sit down, she walked to the other side. At the same time, she raised her plain hand and a faint radiance fell, covering the ancient building, preventing any news from here from spreading.
Lin Wu looked suspiciously at Heavenly Maiden Tianlu in front of him, wondering what her plans were, and she needed to be so cautious.
“Heavenly Lu City is actually not safe. There are many observers from the Upper Realm. In fact, before we knew it, someone had already been placed here. So it’s better to be careful.”
Holy Maiden Tianlu couldn’t help explaining with a smile when she saw that he seemed a little puzzled.
Lin Wu’s heart jolted. He didn’t expect that Heavenly Lu City, which he thought was the safest, actually had observers from the Upper Realm.
Since this sentence was said by Heavenly Maiden Tianlu, it could not be false. No one in this world knew Heavenly Lu City better than her.
“I see, what do you need from me?”
Lin Wu’s face was serious, and he said in a deep voice.
“In three days, I will leave Heavenly Lu City with you and go to Boundary Monument Sea to rescue your sweetheart. Until then, don’t give away my tracks, and don’t mention this to anyone.”
“I need you to promise me this.” Heavenly Tianlu said, looking out of the ancient building, it seemed to fall in the direction of the sea of Boundary Monuments.
Lin Wu hesitated, then nodded and a.s.sured, “I can do this.”
“I believe you.”
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu’s expression was very gentle and she continued, “In this case, after three days, let’s meet outside Heavenly Lu City. During this period, you can find a helper you think you can trust.”
After finishing speaking, she waved her bare hand again and the misty light fell, but Lin Wu had already disappeared and appeared outside the ancient building.
Such a mysterious method made his heart tremble. The Holy Maiden Tianlu just now seemed to be quite complicated. Thinking of this, he inexplicably gained a little more confidence.
“Luluo, wait for me… I will come to rescue you right away.”
Afterward, Lin Wu strode away, full of excitement and apprehension and rushed to the Lin family’s residence, intending to call up people.
At the same time, he sent a message to Granny Lu Cui at the time, asking her to go with him to rescue their young lady.
After Lin Wu’s figure disappeared, Heavenly Maiden Tianlu in the ancient building lost the gentle expression on her face, showing some thoughtfulness.
“Master… are you really going to the Boundary Monument Sea?”
The young woman behind her had doubts and worries on her face, and she was very disturbed.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu nodded with an inexplicable Dao rhyme appearing on her face, and then she sighed, “This time, life and death are uncertain and the road ahead is boundless. If I can’t come back this time, the safety of Heavenly Lu City in the future will be handed over to you.”
“You don’t have to avenge me. If even I can’t solve this disaster, it’s useless for you to avenge me. So stay in the city and cultivate well.”
Her words seemed very calm as if she had known all this for a long time. Hearing this, the young woman’s face was full of reluctance and sorrow. She said in a trembling voice, “Master, even you are not sure?”
She knew that with her Master’s character, she would not easily say words like confessing her last words. This could only show that even she was not fully sure about this trip to Boundary Monument Sea.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu smiled lightly, still very calm as if she knew what she was going to face.
“I deduced that Gu Changge ten times in total for my teacher, but the result was backfired nine times and even one time I only got a glimpse of a gloomy future…”
“Master, you know that he is so strong, why did you go?” The young woman’s lips were pale and trembling slightly.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu shook her head and said, “As Holy Maiden Tianlu, this itself is our destiny, so you don’t have to be too sad.”
“Actually, a few years ago, as a teacher, I should have given you the ident.i.ty of Heavenly Maiden Tianlu. However, you are still young, your cultivation level is not strong and it coincides with the invasion of the Upper Realm, so your teacher was really worried about you.
“But things have reached this point today, and it’s beyond your control. You also need to grow up gradually, shoulder great responsibilities and shoulder your own mission. And keep this city alive.”
“I see, Master.”
Hearing these words, the young woman also understood that no matter how she persuaded it was useless. She couldn’t help but her eyes turned red, her voice choked up, and she nodded emphatically.
Heavenly Maiden Tianlu showed tenderness and touched her head.
“Don’t be so frustrated, what if the master can come back?”
Having said that, she also had no idea in her heart. In the beginning, the Enlightened being from the Ancient Royal family of the Upper Realm knocked on the barrier and rushed to the gate of Heavenly Lu City.
She had full confidence to kill him. However, when facing a worldly genius she felt unspeakable powerlessness, without the slightest confidence.
Not to mention the sh.o.r.e of the sea of Boundary Monuments, which was now called a tiger’s lair, where various powerful forces were stationed and there were countless powerhouses.
Once her traces were exposed, everyone would hunt her down. But in her opinion, this was also the only chance to get rid of Gu Changge. It was definitely not possible to fight head-on, so it could only be taken by surprise.
And soon three days pa.s.sed, at the gate of Heavenly Lu City. In front of a grand and ancient altar, Lin Wu waited here with many creatures and cultivators. Every cultivator and creature was shrouded in divine splendor, wearing a battle suit, and had a strong aura.
