Chapter 434: Wind Thunder Pavilion’s Dou Zong Elder!

“Let’s go! We need to catch up quickly. A few years ago, a Three Thousand Lightning Movement combat technique was stolen from the sect. That woman might be connected to it. If we catch her, it’ll be a huge merit!”

After a brief discussion, the group of Wind Thunder Pavilion disciples surrounding the Black Wolf King’s corpse immediately began chasing in Han Yue’s direction.

“Woo—”

While escaping, Han Yue quickly blew a whistle. The whistle’s sound was incredibly penetrating, carrying across several miles.

“Screech!”

Not long after the whistle rang out, a sharp cry of a bird of prey echoed through the forest as if responding to her call.

Hearing these two strange sounds, the young man chasing behind Han Yue narrowed his eyes slightly in confusion.

Moments later, in the distant sky, a massive purple figure—nearly five meters in size—appeared.

“Ah Zi, over here!”

While evading her pursuer, Han Yue waved to the Purple Demon Vulture. The vulture quickly located her, spread its wings, and dashed toward her with tremendous speed.

In no time, the Purple Demon Vulture landed between Han Yue and the pursuing young man.

“A sixth-tier demonic beast as a helper?”

Seeing the enormous bird blocking his path, the young man squinted slightly in surprise, though there was no trace of fear in his eyes.

The Purple Demon Vulture’s aura suggested it was no more than an early-stage sixth-tier demonic beast, while the young man himself was a genuine five-star Dou Huang.

“Do you think having this bird to help you will stop me from dealing with you?” the young man said casually, seeing that Han Yue had stopped.

Han Yue ignored the young man’s words. Instead, she leaped onto the Purple Demon Vulture’s back and softly whispered, “Ah Zi, this guy seems pretty strong, and there are many others coming behind him. Let’s not fight today.”

Han Yue was well aware of the Purple Demon Vulture’s strength. Recently, it had defeated several mid-tier sixth-tier demonic beasts with ease. Facing the young man alone, it might not lose. However, with a dozen Wind Thunder Pavilion disciples on their way, it was safer to leave quickly.

“Screech!”

Hearing Han Yue’s words, the Purple Demon Vulture let out a low cry, retracting the ferocious glint in its eyes. Then, with a powerful flap of its massive wings, it generated a wild gust of wind, preparing to leave the area.

“Damn it!”

Being ignored once again, the young man’s anger grew uncontrollable.

In an instant, silver lightning surged across his body, and a massive pair of silver wings formed on his back. Leaving two faint afterimages behind, his figure flashed into the sky, aiming to block Han Yue and the vulture’s path.

Just as the young man flew overhead, his palm erupting with intense lightning, the Purple Demon Vulture suddenly raised its head.

A beam of violet energy shot rapidly from its mouth. Wherever the beam passed, the air itself dissolved into nothingness, creating powerful energy ripples.

In response, the young man instinctively pushed his lightning-filled palm downward to counter the oncoming violet energy beam.

“Boom!”

The clash between the violet beam and the lightning caused a thunderous explosion.

At the point of impact, a massive shockwave burst forth. Under the relentless assault of the violet energy beam, the young man’s figure was forced back by more than ten meters.

“A sixth-tier early-stage demonic beast can unleash this kind of attack?!”

The young man, having been pushed back slightly, once again showed a trace of surprise in his eyes. In his line of sight, the Purple Demon Vulture had already flapped its massive wings and soared high into the sky. Its speed was far superior to his own; catching up to it was practically impossible.

However, just as the furious young man was about to give up the chase, an unexpected change occurred.

From the nearby forest, a figure glowing with lightning suddenly appeared. It shot toward the purple bird in the sky and intercepted it before long.

“Elder Liu!”

When the lightning faded, revealing a familiar elderly figure, the young man’s face immediately lit up with joy. He quickly rushed to Elder Liu’s side.

“Elder Liu, I didn’t expect you to be in this mountain range as well!” The young man greeted respectfully, cupping his hands in excitement.

“Tianxing, I’ve been following your group’s training this entire time. Normally, I wouldn’t show myself unless you faced a life-or-death crisis. However, this young girl’s situation is… special.”

While speaking, Elder Liu’s gaze turned sharp as it landed on Han Yue.

“Young girl, can you explain to this old man where you learned Three Thousand Lightning Movement?”

After intercepting the Purple Demon Vulture, Elder Liu refrained from taking immediate action. After all, for someone to command a sixth-tier demonic beast and cultivate Three Thousand Lightning Movement to such a high level at a young age, she likely had an impressive background. Thus, he chose diplomacy first.

Sensing the immense pressure from Elder Liu, Han Yue frowned and replied, “I acquired it by chance and cultivated it on my own.”

“Do you realize that Three Thousand Lightning Movement is a closely guarded secret of my Wind Thunder Pavilion? Years ago, one of its scrolls was stolen. Now, as an outsider, you’ve mastered this technique. It’s hard not to suspect that you are connected to the thief. If you wish to prove your innocence, you must accompany me to the Wind Thunder Pavilion.” Elder Liu’s words were polite but carried an underlying firmness.

“No, I can’t go to the Wind Thunder Pavilion right now!” Han Yue flatly refused Elder Liu’s demand.

“Young one, I am speaking to you calmly now. Don’t force me to take you back by force.” Elder Liu’s patience began to wane, his voice growing cold.

“This is bad. Master told me that Three Thousand Lightning Movement should only be used as a life-saving technique in dangerous situations. I never thought I’d run into a Wind Thunder Pavilion elder and disciples while training in this mountain range!”

Han Yue’s heart raced with panic. The elder’s oppressive aura was comparable to that of the Sky Wolf King she had encountered previously. Moreover, her Void Escape Talisman had already been used.

“Young one, I’ll give you three more breaths of time. Don’t force my hand!” Elder Liu’s voice turned somber as he began to count down.

“One breath!”

“Two breaths!”

Hearing Elder Liu, Tianxing began counting eagerly.

“Three…”

“Stop counting! I’ll go with you!”

When Tianxing reached the third count, Han Yue reluctantly gave in.

“But this has nothing to do with Ah Zi. I hope you won’t harm it!” Han Yue pointed to the Purple Demon Vulture, her voice firm and resolute.

Hearing her words, Tianxing immediately interjected, “No! That beast must also—”

However, before he could finish his sentence, Elder Liu raised his hand, cutting him off.

Lowering his hand, Elder Liu smiled with an air of superiority and said, “As long as you obediently come with me to the Wind Thunder Pavilion, I will not bother with the beast.”
