Incredible Sect Simulator-Chapter 416 - 386 Ambush

But Xuu Mengyuan remained rational, fully aware of the power difference between himself and Chen Chuanhe.

If he fell for Chen Chuanhe’s trap and stepped outside the boundaries of Guangde County, he would surely not be a match for Chen Chuanhe.

The reason Chen Chuanhe had not entered the city was precisely because he feared the Heaven-Reaching Profound Fire Array.

Two Foundation Establishment Cultivators, one representing Cyan Mountain Sect and the other Hengyue Sect, faced off coldly, making the atmosphere tense and confrontational.

With a sinister look on his face, Chen Chuanhe quickly noticed a presence flying quickly from afar, approaching rapidly.

Chen Chuanhe turned his head to see Lu Zhiwei in a water-blue long robe, controlling her sword and slowly descending from the sky.

"Lu Zhiwei."

"Cyan Mountain Sect really sent you."

Seeing this, a cunning glint flashed across Chen Chuanhe’s eyes.

The next moment, without seeing anyone else, he asked, "Why are you alone?"

With an aloof expression, Lu Zhiwei remained silent, coldly staring at Chen Chuanhe.

Chen Chuanhe’s question was evidently pointless.

"Hmph."

Seeing Lu Zhiwei’s cold demeanor, Chen Chuanhe asked no more, turning his gaze to Xuu Mengyuan in the distance with a mocking tone.

"Xuu Mengyuan, it seems Cyan Mountain Sect doesn’t value you much either. Even Lu Yuanshan won’t come forward to ease your troubles, instead sending his sister over."

"Sending such a woman!"

"Chen Chuanhe, stop sowing discord here!"

Chen Chuanhe’s derogatory words about Lu Zhiwei incited a furious rebuke from Xuu Mengyuan.

With the support of Foundation Establishment Magical Power, this voice rolled like thunder, clearly audible.

Meanwhile, the Communication Flying Sword sent by Lu Yuanshan was still on its way, and Xuu Mengyuan had not received it yet.

"Hmph, I’ll cut you down sooner or later!"

A murderous intent appeared in Chen Chuanhe’s eyes.

Just as Chen Chuanhe finished speaking, a barely perceptible Consciousness Body appeared out of nowhere beside Lu Zhiwei.

On the system panel, Lu Ping had been monitoring Lu Zhiwei’s movements.

Upon Lu Zhiwei’s arrival in Guangde County, Lu Ping spent 5 Reputation Points to use [Instant Transmission], instantly teleporting beside Lu Zhiwei.

Compared to Lu Yuanshan, who was still on the road, Lu Ping arrived a bit earlier.

His youngest daughter, Lu Ping naturally cared deeply for.

After descending beside Lu Zhiwei, Lu Ping surveyed the surrounding environment and activated his Divine Sense for a thorough investigation.

Guard against the unexpected; this was the first thing he did upon teleporting.

He conducted this investigation to grasp the surrounding dynamics, to see if any other cultivators or threats were present.

After all, outside Guangde County, anything could happen.

"Hmm?"

With this examination, Lu Ping soon discovered something amiss.

A few miles from Lu Zhiwei, a Foundation Establishment presence was hiding, its aura so subtle that it would have been easy to overlook had Lu Ping not retained the powerful Divine Sense of a Golden Core Cultivator.

Next, Lu Ping carefully examined this Foundation Establishment aura and found its intensity at the level of Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment.

A Foundation Establishment cultivator at the eighth layer, concealing their aura, what was the purpose?

There must be something strange about this anomaly.

As to who this person was, Lu Ping could not identify them, but they were definitely not good news.

If they made a move against Lu Zhiwei, he certainly wouldn’t sit idly by.

Lu Ping secretly paid close attention to their every move, initiating communication with Lu Zhiwei.

"Zhiwei, keep alert; there are some matters surrounding us."

Upon hearing Lu Ping’s communication, Lu Zhiwei merely showed a slight change of expression.

She, too, was not reckless; upon arriving here, she had observed the surroundings, casting her Divine Sense.

More experienced and cautious cultivators would do the same.

Yet she found nothing except Chen Chuanhe to pay attention to.

Just as she considered inquiring about the specifics, whether Hengyue Sect had sent more cultivators to ambush nearby, or if there were other threats.

At this moment, a figure rushed from the northern land, in the blink of an eye arriving at the city gates, landing beside Chen Chuanhe.

"I thought I’d be waiting for Lu Yuanshan, but this Cyan Mountain Sect just sent such a girl."

"It’s rather lacking, isn’t it?"

The speaker drew a surprised look from Xuu Mengyuan, whose gaze fixed firmly on them, soon changing his expression.

"Han Zongyuan, it’s you!"

Xuu Mengyuan instantly recognized him as Hengyue Sect’s Grand Elder, Han Zongyuan.

Han Zongyuan’s cultivation had reached the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment, making him, apart from Hengyue Sect’s sect leader, their strongest cultivator. He had remained within the sect, never showing himself.

Worth mentioning is that over twenty years ago, when Lu Ping entered secluded cultivation, Han Zongyuan was merely an inconspicuous Qi Cultivator within Hengyue Sect.

"Heh, it’s unexpected that after all these years, someone remembers me."

Han Zongyuan’s lips curled in a smile, briefly glanced at Xuu Mengyuan, his expression appeared quite amiable.

"Not good!" 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Recognizing Han Zongyuan, Xuu Mengyuan silently exclaimed the situation was adverse, decisively communicating, "Elder Zhiwei, retreat to the city quickly!"

As the voice fell, Xuu Mengyuan took out the Profound Fire Order from his Storage Bag, immediately channeling magical power into it, muttering incantations, and activating the Heaven-Reaching Profound Fire Array.

With Han Zongyuan’s appearance, Xuu Mengyuan clearly realized Hengyue Sect was casting a long line to catch a big fish.

It wasn’t merely about capturing him.

Given Lu Zhiwei’s ability, dealing with Chen Chuanhe was no problem, but facing Han Zongyuan was risky.

"Hm?"

Hearing Xuu Mengyuan’s communication and sensing the urgency in his tone, Lu Zhiwei now recognized Han Zongyuan and upon reflection understood it was a trap laid by Hengyue Sect.

"Now you realize, too late!"

Chen Chuanhe sneered coldly, offering no chance for Lu Zhiwei to flee, immediately summoning a Flying Sword to slash at her.

Lu Zhiwei reacted swiftly, already summoned the Profound Dark Needle to pierce the incoming Flying Sword with a clang, changing its attack path and neutralizing the strike.

Moreover, a stream of light shot from Lu Zhiwei’s Storage Bag, rapidly hanging beside her, revealing the Heaven-Covering Bell.

Besides attacking, Lu Zhiwei did not forget to defend herself.

Han Zongyuan’s emergence caused Lu Zhiwei great caution.

"A mere Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishment cultivator, dreaming of escaping to the city under my nose?!"

"Fool’s dream!"

Han Zongyuan suddenly took action, launching a mountain-shaped spiritual artifact into the air, transforming into a three-zhang size, ruthlessly pressing down on Lu Zhiwei.

Han Zongyuan did not intend to show mercy, seeking to kill Lu Zhiwei on the spot.
