Outside Xiangchun Garden.

A dozen or so cultivators stood loosely, and in front of them were three Foundation Building cultivators exuding a strong killing intent.

Not only were there the black-striped cultivators that the old lady mentioned, there were also red-striped and green-striped cultivators. The black stripes on their Dao robes were identical, indicating a division of ranks.

Among them, the white-striped cultivator had the strongest killing intent, causing the dozen or so loosely standing cultivators to keep their distance.

On the other hand, many cultivators gathered around the green-striped cultivator, whose killing intent was slightly weaker.

Lu Yu was so stimulated by the killing intent that his hair stood on end, but he could only endure the discomfort, lower his head, and carefully observe.

After a while, the old lady brought a few more cultivators out from Xiangchun Garden and whispered a few words in front of the white-striped cultivator.

The white-striped cultivator's expression slightly changed, and after glancing at Lu Yu and the other two, he hoarsely said:

"Everyone, the three of us will each lead a group and take different evacuation routes. Regardless of the number of people, it's up to you to choose."

"If you've made your choice, remember to keep up. We won't wait for you if you fall behind halfway."

"There's no time to waste, let's go!"

Immediately, the three cultivators rushed out.

Lu Yu patted the shoulders of the two women and chased after the white-striped cultivator.

Figures also instantly rushed out, splitting in mid-air and forming three columns, following closely behind the three cultivators.

Although Qi Refining cultivators could also control magical tools for flight, it consumed a lot of spiritual energy and was difficult to sustain.

Filling their bodies with spiritual energy and running at high speed was the preferred method for Qi Refining cultivators to travel long distances.

The leading three supporting cultivators, although they were Foundation Building cultivators, did not initially run at a fast speed, obviously taking care of the Qi Refining cultivators.

Later, they only flew low in their magical tools, and although their speed increased, Lu Yu and the others were able to keep up.

After a long time, the twilight sky quickly darkened.

Suddenly, a three-way intersection appeared ahead. Before Lu Yu could react, the three cultivators suddenly split up, each leading a group to take a different path.

The cultivators behind them also followed suit. Lu Yu maintained his speed and continued to follow the white-striped cultivator.

Behind him was Jiang Yuru, followed by Qin Qingrou, and then two or three Qi Refining mid-level cultivators.

With Foundation Building cultivators leading the way, Lu Yu felt relatively relaxed, but after running for a while, the road suddenly disappeared.

However, the white-striped cultivator's speed slowed down slightly, and he turned around and said, "Next, we will be taking the mountain path."

"There may be ferocious beasts lurking in the mountain path, so please protect yourselves."

After speaking, he made no further movements, and a blue light suddenly illuminated his body, with a small rotating shield above his head.

Then, he stopped talking.

Suddenly, a muffled sound came from behind. Lu Yu turned his head and saw that there should have been two Qi Refining low-level cultivators following Qin Qingrou.

But now, only one remained, and there were constantly black shadows flying around the surrounding trees.

Faintly visible was a leopard-shaped black shadow, with a cultivator in Dao robes in its mouth.

However, the Foundation Building cultivator in front seemed completely unaware, only focusing on rushing forward.

Seeing this, Lu Yu summoned the Twin-Headed Spirit Jiao to his waist, and a roar of a bull sounded from behind as Qin Qingrou also summoned her Spirit Bull.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded beside him, and Lu Yu saw Jiang Yuru, dressed in plain Dao robes, nervously speeding up and getting closer to him.

Seeing that she hadn't changed at all, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile and shake his head.

Presumably, this Fellow Daoist Jiang had even sold her own magical tools for spirit stones.

Lu Yu waved his hand and opened his Dao robe. This Dao robe was given to him by Qingyun Commercial Sect. Besides proving his identity, it was also a high-level defensive magical tool that could even withstand a full-force attack from a Qi Refining high-level cultivator.

Jiang Yuru glanced at the fiercely fluttering Dao robe, hesitated for a moment, and then plunged in, her fragrant sweat permeating.

Like an octopus, she clung tightly to Lu Yu, in a very ambiguous posture.

Because they had been running for a long time, her breathing was rapid, and her exhaled breath was fragrant. Lu Yu only felt that his whole body was filled with Jiang Yuru's scent, but fortunately, he immediately suppressed any distracting thoughts.

Qin Qingrou saw the situation and a slight smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Behind her, the cultivator released a spiritual beast and mounted it.

The leading Foundation Building cultivator seemed to sense that the people behind were ready, and suddenly accelerated.

With the increase in speed, the sound in the forest they passed through became much louder.

Lu Yu noticed that shadows of speed trails appeared on both sides of the team again, and the cultivator at the back even made the sound of spell attacks.

Fortunately, after running for a long time, no one was left behind.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuru in his arms moved and whispered, "Fellow Daoist Lu, it seems like we're going to the newly opened market deep in the Holy Spirit Mountain."

"That market was abandoned halfway, and there is a big pit nearby with a pagoda inside."

"It is said that the treasure is inside the pagoda."

Lu Yu frowned slightly upon hearing this.

Why would the Foundation Building cultivator lead them to the birthplace of the treasure?

He looked up and indeed, the purple thunder that was originally on the horizon seemed much closer.

Even the flashing thunder became brighter.

As they continued on their journey, the shadows on the sides of the team became more and more numerous, and even daring fierce beasts attacked the leading Foundation Building cultivator.

Seemingly annoyed, the Foundation Building cultivator casually made a move, and sword lights lit up, instantly reducing the number of shadows around them by more than half, and many of them fled in fear.

A purple thunder exploded in the distance. At such a close distance, Lu Yu finally saw clearly that it was a thick electric arc.

Even the sound of thunder made his eardrums ache.

After a while, the leading Foundation Building cultivator slowed down and said, "We've arrived!"

Lu Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After he and Qin Qingrou collected the spiritual beast souls, they opened their robes, and Jiang Yuru blushed and emerged.

They waited for a while, and several groups of cultivators emerged from the surrounding mountains one after another. They were also led by Foundation Building cultivators with white backgrounds and black patterns, followed by several Qi Refining cultivators.

After stopping, the Foundation Building cultivators with white backgrounds and black patterns greeted each other.

Until there were about fifty to sixty people.

Lu Yu was about to approach the leading Foundation Building cultivator to ask when they would depart, but he felt a tremendous spiritual pressure above his head.

He looked up and saw a small fairy boat.

There were already many cultivators crowded on it.

The Foundation Building cultivator in front suddenly shouted, "Everyone, come on board. If you can't fit, wait for the next one."

As soon as these words were spoken, streaks of light shot up, rushing towards the fairy boat.

Lu Yu gritted his teeth and rushed towards the fairy boat with one woman on each arm.

With great effort, they finally found a place to stand on the fairy boat.

However, Jiang Yuru returned to her octopus form and wrapped around Lu Yu, while Qin Qingrou stood closely behind her.

Suddenly, Qin Qingrou gave Lu Yu a signal with her eyes.

Following her gaze, Lu Yu's expression froze.

It was actually the destitute Huang Fellow Daoist that Qin Qingrou had mentioned before.

Encountering Huang Fellow Daoist here was quite unexpected.

The other party seemed to have noticed Lu Yu's gaze and turned to look, but there was no change in his expression, and it was unclear whether he recognized Lu Yu and Qin Qingrou.

In just a few moments, a restriction on the fairy boat suddenly lit up.

The cultivators who were still trying to rush in were instantly beaten up.

Then, the fairy boat shook and took off!
