Chapter 561
"Something's not right . Be careful, Ningning!" said the old man's voice in his head . "This seems to be a trick of that group of people who were onto us! I didn't expect them to be capable of making a move near the Lu Manor!"
Although Lu Ning was just a little child, he was highly gifted with natural talents . His mind matured early, and these few months of wandering have further facilitated it . His mental age was already of someone more than 10 years old .
When Lu Ning heard this, he quickly adjusted his own condition . He let his mind go blank and relaxed his body as he allowed his teacher to take over .
"If they're capable of making a move this close to Lu Manor, this bunch of people is… very powerful!" The old man did not sound too happy .
"Are they more powerful than my dad?" Lu Ning could not suppress his question .
"Of course . They have an extremely immense organization behind their backs . Compared to your Lu Family or the Prime Devil Sect, they're far too powerful," the old man replied quickly .
Lu Ning bit his lip . "Do you have any way of shaking them off, Teacher? I don't want to trouble my family . "
"Look here, look here quick, my cute little Lu Ning . " All of a sudden, a person started calling his name with a warm tone in the dilapidated courtyard .
Lu Ning's body was being controlled by his teacher . He turned around slowly and saw a smiling man in white clothes . The man was staring at him from afar . A hint of greed could be seen in his gaze .
"Who are you?" Lu Ning was currently in his ordinary form, and did not put on any disguise . He had the appearance of a little fatso .
"Me? I'm here to help you," the man replied with a smile . "You can call me Zi Hengzi . I'm here to help you by ridding your body of some unusual condition . "
"Smack . "
Lu Ning heard another sound from the front . He turned to look there, and saw a woman in white slowly descending from the skies . She blocked his way .
"You guys…" An anxious look crept up on Lu Ning's chubby face . "Stay away . Otherwise, I'll start screaming . "
Zi Hengzi's expression remained unchanged . He continued to move forward . He stepped closer to Lu Ning .
"Swoosh . "
A spiraling scarlet short sword shot out from his hand . The blade was adorned with the pattern of two black snakes that twirled around it .
"I didn't expect your body to harbor a treasure of that level . Will you give it up of your own accord, or do we have to extract it ourselves?" Zi Hengzi calmly moved closer .
"Uh, I don't understand what you're talking about . "
Lu Ning turned around to face the other direction . He planned to walked out of the door .
"Pcchht!"
"Swimming Dragon Blade!"
The blade's gleam was like a flowing blood-red thread that instantly thrust toward him .
Lu Ning retreated reflexively . He flicked his finger which precisely hit the middle of the blade's gleam .
"Clang!"
Zi Hengzi's blade switched directions . He made 13 consecutive angle adjustments in an instant, but they all were completely parried by Lu Ning's finger .
"Run!" The old man's voice erupted in Lu Ning's ear .
"But, Master!" Lu Ning had no time to react when he felt his leg muscles contract, just in time to dodge the attack from the woman's twin blades from behind .
The old man controlled Lu Ning's body and shot past between the two of them like a sparrow . He shot far into the distance .
"Running away?" Zi Hengzi made a hand sign with his right hand with lightning speed . A mass of faint purplish radiance immediately shone on Lu Ning's chest's left side .
"As expected, it's on you . After him!"
Zi Hengzi and his partner charged toward Lu Ning . Gleams of blades danced in the air . They were not in the least worried that they might kill Lu Ning by accident . The thrusts of their blades were aimed at his vital points .
"Bam!"
Just when Lu Ning prepared to dodge, a formless force suddenly fell on him with a loud crash . He reeled and crashed heavily into the nearby wall . His body sunk deep into it .
"Star tier…" The old man's tone was extremely grim as it resounded in Lu Ning's ear .
"Dad…" Lu Ning's tear surged out from his eyes despite himself .
"Lu Ning, listen closely . The enemies you're facing now are unimaginably powerful . I'll create an opening for you, and you should flee in the direction which we've discussed before . Don't hesitate . Use the Lake Sparrow Art . Don't doubt, don't look back . "
The old man spelled each word out in his deep voice .
"I miss my dad! Mother!" Lu Ning sobbed as he spoke .
"Enough! Do you want to kill your family members as well?! Get ready!" the old man reprimanded him .
"Tap… Tap… Tap…"
Crisp footsteps slowly reached their ears from beyond the door .
A big and tall man who covered his face and wore a white scarf slowly descended from the skies . A grayish white broadsword, a product of crude craftsmanship, hung on his waist .
Lu Ning stopped crying after being reprimanded . He managed to push himself up from within the wall .
"Who… who are you?!" he asked, terrified .

The man's deep blue eyes could be seen through his scarf . He looked at him silently .
"A Star Soul? What a nice material . Extract it . " He slowly reached out a hand toward Lu Ning .
"Master… His biological father is…" From the side, Zi Hengzi hastily walked up to offer his report respectfully .
"It's alright . If we're found out, we'll just clear the entire Prime Devil Sect as well," said the blue-eyed man calmly .
"But… His Majesty…" Zi Hengzi frowned .
"I'm acting on His Majesty's latest decree . " The blue-eyed man's expression remained unchanged . "Retrieve the Star Soul as quickly as possible and make full combat preparations . If the Prime Devil Sect stands in the way, kill them . "
"This?!" Zi Hengzi's and Hong Meizi's expression changed slightly . The two of them had found a substitute to pose as Lu Ning for a short while to fool Lu Sheng and the others . They intended to send Lu Ning back to where he was after they extracted the soul .
However, now…
The atmosphere grew slightly heavier .
Run!
Suddenly, Lu Ning moved with lightning speed as he crashed through the wall on the right . He sprinted far away .
In this instant, the speed he erupted with far exceeded everyone's expectations . The blue-eyed man's expression changed slightly, and his entire body suddenly exploded into countless white silk ribbons which vanished on the spot .
. . .
In the wilderness .
Lu Ning ran wildly . Gray wilderness surrounded him on all sides . It was completely different from the nearby areas of the Autumn Moon County which he was used to seeing .
"This is not the Autumn Moon County . We've been teleported away without us noticing! The only issue is that we don't know where we've been transported to . "
The old man's voice was anxious, carrying with it a hint of weariness .
They were moving so quickly that a white tail of air trailed behind them . Also, they had broken the sonic barrier long ago, and they were making deafening rumbles as they moved .
"Where are you going?"
Suddenly, countless silk ribbons whipped Lu Ning's face precisely .
"Bam!"
A circle of seven-colored radiance erupted around Lu Ning which blocked the ribbons . The old man grunted and brought Lu Ning sideways to avoid the follow-up attacks from the silk ribbons .
"Thousand Birds in Flight!" a deep voice came from afar .

"Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!"
Countless white silk ribbons suddenly appeared beside Lu Ning and wrapped themselves around him .
"Art Prime Breaker!" the old man bellowed . The seven-colored radiance condensed and exploded . A hole was immediately created, and Lu Ning launched himself through it . He rode on the momentum and continued moving away from the scene .
"Run!" A seven-colored radiant humanoid figure split from Lu Ning's body and charged at the blue-eyed man .
"Don't look back!"
Lu Ning's tears broke out without him noticing . He sobbed and sobbed, but dared not look back . He hurried along his way .
"Arrgghh!"
Suddenly, a series of shrill and furious shouts could be heard from far behind him .
Lu Ning could not help but look back . He saw the old man being held by the neck and lifted in the air by the blue-eyed man . The blue-eyed man released a huge number of white ribbons .
"Master!" Lu Ning shouted hysterically, and quickly closed his eyes .
He'd never had a stronger desire for more power than now .
His master had always instructed him assiduously . Although he nagged a lot and did not allow him to do many things, Lu Ning understood that his master had his best interests in mind .
"Don't look back! You're my final hope! There's always a time for life and death . I, Chang Qingzi, have no regrets having you as a disciple!" The old man unleashed a blinding radiance as he struggled to fight back the envelopment of the white ribbons .
"Oh? What a rare sight . Star Brand Constitution… No wonder you're so protective of him . " The blue-eyed man looked at Lu Ning . He seemed to have suddenly thought of something .
"You're only at the Pseudo-star tier!" Chang Qingzi gritted his teeth and raised his right palm . A contorted mass of pitch-black radiance could be seen in his hands . He infused a large amount of Spiritual Power into the black radiance . The Destruction Wave created grew more powerful and more terrifying .
"Ugh… What's this?!" The blue-eyed man's ice-cold eyes finally registered a change .
"Let's die together!"
"Boom!"
The black radiance exploded .
"Teacher!" Lu Ning shouted and closed his eyes, a throbbing pain in his heart . This was the first person who actually treated him well . This person was currently dying in front of his eyes, and yet he was powerless to prevent it .
"Where do you think you're going?"
Suddenly, a deep and solemn voice of a man came from the front .
A big and tall man with fleshy pitch-black wings on his back was standing silently before Lu Ning, barring his way .

Lu Ning hastily stopped in his tracks with haste . He was just about to turn in another direction when a formless power forcibly bounced him back .
"You dare run away from Kong Lie?" The man flapped his wings, and made to move forward . "The Star Soul's secret cannot be leaked . We must remove the roots while cutting away the grass . Die!"
He reached out for Lu Ning with a claw . A formless force compressed the air, forming a transparent sharp claw . The claw advanced toward Lu Ning who could do nothing but look .
"Dad…" As Lu Ning looked at his own impending death, he seemed to have remembered many things .
"Boom!"
The formless huge claw collided with Lu Ning's chest .
His petite figure was launched into the air, and rolled far away . At the same time, a ball of green flames suddenly appeared beside him and spread outward .

Within Devil Palace .
Lu Sheng crushed the teacup in his grip . Black Devil Qi burned about him .
"Who triggered the seal…" He slowly rose to his feet . He went out of the palace and looked up to the skies .
There was a gathering of black clouds in the skies . Thunder rumbled . A huge, deep blue eye opened among the layer of clouds and stared at him .
"You guys . You dare break our agreement…" Lu Sheng's dark gaze seemed to be harboring fury .
"Lu Sheng, you want to fight back?" The huge voice immediately filled the Devil Palace . The vibration shook countless decorative objects .
"Fight back?" Lu Sheng grinned devilishly . "You have guts to touch my son . Looks like you've lived for too long…"
"You—"
"Boom!"
The blue eye had not finished speaking when it exploded with a loud bang and turned into black clouds .
Lu Sheng retracted his index finger . The Devil Qi around him spread out wildly in all directions like the tide .
His terrifyingly immense Devil Qi instantly covered every building around him . It went past the Devil Palace, the hills, the plains, and the mountain forests .
In an area of hundreds of kilometers, everything was covered in the surging black Devil Qi .
