You are already cultivating immortality, who would fight with you alone?

Chapter 424: Driving the tiger away from the mountain

"Ms. Bai Ya and her companions had just crossed Zhongzhou when, in the blink of an eye, they had completely lost contact with each other, as if a stone had sunk into the sea!

The elders and many elite disciples sent by the sect to escort them... have also lost contact with them without any news! "Speaking of this, Zuo Lan's face was filled with panic, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

Then he slammed his head hard to the ground, making a dull sound.

You know, Lord Liu Yun is very kind to their Xianlan Sect on weekdays. Not only does he reward the sect with many precious treasures and cultivation resources every year, but there has never been a shortage or delay in the supply of various materials needed by the Xianlan Sect on a daily basis.

More importantly, Liu Yuntian rarely gave them any difficult and tedious tasks to carry out.

However, such a seemingly ordinary escort mission was actually messed up!

This made Zuo Lan feel full of self-blame and guilt, and she felt that she was unworthy of Liu Yuntian's kindness to her.

At this moment, she really didn't have the face to meet Liu Yuntian again.

But if Miss Bai Ya and the other two ladies who were traveling with her really met with an accident or any mishap, then even if everyone in the entire Xianlan Sect was turned to ashes, it would probably be difficult to offset the guilt!

Thinking of this, Zuo Lan felt hopeless.

Liu Yuntian narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured softly: "It's just a loss of contact, not a complete annihilation, right?"

His voice was low and tinged with doubt.

Zuo Lan, who was standing aside, was stunned at first, then nodded heavily to show his affirmation.

At this time, Zhang Long stepped forward, saluted, and was about to offer his services: "Mr. Liu, I will immediately mobilize all the spies outside to investigate this matter with all our strength..."

However, before he could finish his words, Liu Yuntian raised his right hand and waved it gently, indicating that there was no need to say more.

"No need to do that." Liu Yuntian said solemnly, "Since they are not trying to kill anyone, they must be here for money."

"Be patient and wait a little longer. I believe there will be news soon."

"If the scene is too big and scares the thieves, Bai Ya and the others will be in danger."

After that, he turned to look at Zuo Lan who was kneeling on the ground, and said earnestly: "Get up, your Xianlan Sect suffered a heavy blow this time, it was because of me. Considering this, I will forgive you."

But Zuo Lan did not stand up. She still kept her head down, her heart full of guilt and self-blame.

In her opinion, as the saying goes, it takes a thousand days to maintain an army and only a moment to deploy it, this time the crime of failing to fulfill the duty of protecting the master is already proven beyond a doubt.

Even if Lord Liu Yuntian did not pursue the matter, the barrier deep in her heart was difficult to overcome.

Then, Zuo Lan kowtowed again to apologize, and said earnestly: "It is all due to Zuo Lan's negligence! If I had personally escorted them this time, I would definitely not have let such a thing happen! Now that a disaster has occurred, Zuo Lan cannot escape the blame, even if I suffer the punishment of being cut into pieces, I will have no regrets!"

"The person is already lost, what's the point of saying all this now?" Liu Yuntian glanced at the other person coldly with an expressionless face, then turned around and faced the shimmering pond again.

He slowly raised his hand and took the exquisite fishing rod from Zhang Long beside him, then waved his arm gently and threw the hook and fishing line back into the pond.

I saw the fishing line draw a graceful arc in the air and finally sink into the water, leaving only circles of ripples that gradually spread out.

"If anyone really wants to hold someone accountable, I should naturally bear the primary responsibility!" Liu Yuntian's voice contained self-blame and regret.

He frowned slightly and stared into the depths of the pond, as if trying to see the figures of the missing people through the calm water.

"If we had let Mo Qilin escort them at that time, they would have reached the Warcraft territory in just one day, and no one would have been able to catch up with them." Liu Yuntian said as he shook his head slightly.

The Black Qilin is incredibly fast. Since it reached adulthood, even Liu Yuntian's ability to shrink the earth into an inch has been difficult to catch up with its speed, let alone other people on this continent.

"I originally just wanted them to enjoy the beautiful scenery of Qiyang Continent and feel the unique charm of this continent, but I never expected that this would cause them to encounter unexpected events."

Liu Yuntian let out a long sigh, but now he could only wait for news.

Not long after, a voice came from outside.

Without waiting for the Jinyiwei outside to speak, Zhang Long quickly ran over, snatched the memorial and ran back.

"Mr. Liu, it is indeed news about the three young ladies!"

Liu Yuntian exerted a little force in his hand, but this time he did not crush the fishing rod directly. He said lightly, "Read it."

"If you want someone, take out half of Daliang's wealth."

"You didn't mention the location?" Liu Yuntian asked puzzledly.

"I didn't say..."

Liu Yuntian suddenly laughed out loud, "So that's how it is..."

This sentence revealed many clues, half of Daliang's wealth...

Apart from Liu Yuntian, who knows how much wealth Daliang has?

How could the other party possibly know if I took a few percent less?

In addition, if someone is really seeking wealth, they will definitely tell you a specific amount of resources and the transaction location.

This was obviously a delaying tactic to allow Liu Yuntian to focus all his attention on preparing money and resources.

Thereby relaxing their vigilance.

From this point of view, what the other party wants is not money, but life. The most crucial piece of information is that they did not escape, but are still under the control of Liu Yuntian!

Use the strategy of luring the tiger away from the mountain to make it easier for them to escape from the encirclement!

Thinking of this, Liu Yuntian slowly stood up and blew a loud whistle to summon the Black Qilin.

"I'll go there myself. Don't issue any transfer orders before I come back. Everyone, stay at your posts. If there's any sign of trouble, fight immediately, but don't alert the enemy!"
