C1071 Dongfang Mu Became Suspicious
"Lu Tianhao, let's ask them who they are and why they surrounded us." Lu Feng asked.
Not many people knew about their return to the Heaven Realm. Plus, the Heaven Piercing Tower had just connected to the Heaven Realm, so it was impossible for those who wanted to kill them to know about it. They even arranged for people to ambush them here.
Thinking about this, Lu Feng guessed that it was a coincidence that these people had surrounded this place. Their real target wasn't him.
But no matter what, he had to find out first.
"Who are you people?"
However, just as Lu Tianhao was about to ask a question, Dongfang Mu looked at Lu Tianhao vigilantly and asked.
Among the four of them, Lu Tianhao's cultivation base was the highest. Therefore, in Dongfang Mu's eyes, he was naturally the leader of the four of them.
"Does it matter who we are? Now that you have surrounded us, what do you want to do?" Lu Tianhao said in a deep voice.
As he spoke, Lu Tianhao's Qi surged out from his body.
Originally, Lu Tianhao's cultivation base was only at the Middle Period of Heaven-lord Stage. He didn't expect that after returning to the Heaven Realm, his cultivation base wouldn't decrease, but instead, he would advance to the Later Period of Heaven-lord Stage.
Therefore, before facing such a situation, he knew that he had to be tough. Otherwise, these people would definitely bully him with numbers. At that time, Lu Feng and the other two would be in big trouble.
Feeling the pressure from Lu Tianhao's Qi, Dongfang Mu's facial expression turned slightly ugly.
"Fellow Daoist, I think you have misunderstood us. We are not going to surround you all. We just want to inspect this Spiritual Lake. In addition, we also want to ask you, how did you enter this Spiritual Lake?" Dongfang Mu asked curiously.
The Spell Formation on the surface of the lake could instantly kill a Peak Heaven-general Stage warrior. Plus, they had already tried it just now. The power of this Spell Formation was definitely extraordinary. Therefore, he didn't think that these four people could pass through the Spell Formation and enter the Spiritual Lake.
"I'm sorry, I refuse to answer your question. I'm going to take my young master away now. Please step aside, or you will have to bear the consequences yourself." Lu Tianhao said coldly.
Although the current situation was disadvantageous to the four of them, they had to remain calm at this moment. Only then could they shock the other party.
If the other party thought that their side was easy to bully, then Lu Feng and the other three might not be able to leave today.
"Your young master?"
Hearing Lu Tianhao's words, Dongfang Mu frowned slightly.
Apart from Lu Tianhao, the other two men's cultivation base was too low to be praised. Therefore, it was hard for him to imagine who this young master was. He didn't even have an Early Period of Heaven-general Stage cultivation base in his entire life.
Of course, in Dongfang Mu's eyes, he still thought that Jin Ao was the young master that Lu Tianhao spoke of. Although Jin Ao was a little old, if his cultivation base was low, he would look a little older.
"May I ask who your young master is? I am an elder of the Profound Heart Sect. My name is Dongfang Mu." Dongfang Mu politely asked and introduced himself.
"Profound Heart Sect?"
Lu Tianhao raised his eyebrows slightly and shook his head. "I'm sorry, I have never heard of Profound Heart Sect. As for who my young master is... There is no need to tell you this. Anyway, I will tell you. My young master is not someone that any Profound Heart Sect can provoke. "
As Lu Tianhao was speaking, he turned around to look at Lu Feng. After Lu Feng shook his head, he understood.
Although Lu Feng had already returned to the Heaven Realm, for the sake of safety, it was best not to spread the news that he was Young Master of Family Lu.
"En?"
However, after Dongfang Mu heard what Lu Tianhao said, he frowned slightly. Although their Profound Heart Sect wasn't a big sect, it wasn't worth mentioning when compared to those super powers.
But even so, the Profound Heart Sect was still a famous sect within a radius of ten thousand miles. There were even several subsidiary sects.
To think that they had never heard of such a sect. This made Dongfang Mu hesitate.
However, when Dongfang Mu thought of how a young master with a cultivation base of Heaven and Man could have a Later Period of Heaven-lord Stage follower to protect him, judging from this point, the other party must not be a small family.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mu's facial expression changed bit by bit. If he could befriend a family that was bigger than the Profound Heart Sect, then he would have made a great contribution.
"Fellow Daoist, did you discover this Spiritual Lake first?" Dongfang Mu asked.
This was because the Spiritual Lake normally didn't have any Spell Formation protecting it. Now that there was a powerful Spell Formation on top of the Spiritual Lake, and there were people coming out from it, it was obvious that the Spiritual Lake already had a master.
"That's right. This Spiritual Lake belongs to us. Why? Do you want to take it for yourselves?" Lu Tianhao frowned.
Although Lu Tianhao knew that this wasn't the Spiritual Lake, this was the exit to the Heaven Realm from the lower realm. If this lake was taken by another major power, all the experts from the lower realm would be in trouble.
Therefore, Lu Tianhao followed Dongfang Mu's words without thinking, because he could see that Dongfang Mu had become wary of him.
"No... No, fellow Daoist misunderstood. We thought that this was an ownerless Spiritual Lake. Since it has an owner, then our Profound Heart Sect naturally won't take away someone's love. " Dongfang Mu shook his head and said.
At the same time, Dongfang Mu had already scolded Qi Yan half to death in his heart. Fortunately, he was smart. Otherwise, if he offended a major family, not only would he be in trouble, the entire Profound Heart Sect wouldn't be able to escape either.
In order not to offend such a big family, the Profound Heart Sect would take the initiative to hand him over to the other party to deal with.
Thinking of this, Dongfang Mu felt a slight chill on his back. He was almost killed by Qi Yan.
"Dongfang Mu, right? My young master and I should be able to leave now, right?" Lu Tianhao asked.
"Yes, of course we can. Look at what fellow Daoist said. Didn't I already say that it was all a misunderstanding? I hope fellow Daoist won't take it to heart." Dongfang Mu quickly explained.
While he was speaking, Dongfang Mu took the initiative to move aside and instructed the other disciples to quickly gather.
"Young master, let's go!"
Seeing Dongfang Mu make way for them, Lu Tianhao heaved a sigh of relief in his heart. Then, he respectfully told Lu Feng in front of him. After that, Lu Feng and the other two walked to the lakeside bit by bit.
When Dongfang Mu saw Lu Tianhao, who was a Later Period of Heaven-lord Stage, being so respectful to the three men who were only at the Heaven Tier, he believed his own guess even more.
"Let me ask you, do you know which direction Capital City should go?" When Lu Tianhao arrived at the lakeside, he asked along the way.
The Heaven Realm was very vast, and Lu Tianhao was unfamiliar with everything around him. Therefore, he had no idea where he was or how he should return to the Lu Family.
"Sovereign... Capital City!"
When Dongfang Mu heard these three words, his entire body trembled slightly.
Capital City was a city filled with experts. It was said that one would not be able to enter the city without reaching the Heavenly King realm.
"Fellow Daoist, why are you asking Capital City?" Dongfang Mu asked with some doubt. Could it be that these few people were the young masters of some family in Capital City?
But if they were from the Capital City, then why didn't they know where the Capital City was?
"Is there a need for me to answer you?" Lu Tianhao's face darkened as he asked.
However, when he saw the strange look in Ouyang Mu's eyes, he suddenly recalled that not everyone could enter the Capital City.
Apart from the residents of the Capital City, anyone who wanted to enter the city must at least have a Heaven-king Level cultivation base.
Thinking of this, Lu Tianhao knew what the strange look in Ouyang Mu's eyes was. It was a look of suspicion.
However, Lu Tianhao had no way to explain this doubt to the other party, because his token that allowed him to freely enter and exit the Capital City had already been destroyed along with his original body when he entered the lower realm.
"Trouble!"
Thinking of this, Lu Tianhao's face darkened. Without this token, he wouldn't be able to enter the Capital City with his current cultivation base.1
"Young master, let's go!"
Because the other party had started to doubt him, Lu Tianhao knew that he shouldn't stay in this place for too long.
"Wait a moment!"
However, just as the four of them were about to leave, Dongfang Mu's voice rang out.
"Do you have anything else?" Lu Tianhao's face darkened when he heard this voice. At the same time, he spread his arms and protected Lu Feng and the other two behind him.
"Fellow Daoist, don't be nervous. Didn't you want to know the whereabouts of Capital City? I haven't told you yet, why did you leave?" Dongfang Mu replied with a smile.
After saying that, Dongfang Mu pointed to the front right of him. He said, "Capital City is in this direction, but the distance from here is quite far. Besides, there were a lot of Heavenly Beast along the way. If it was just you alone... I'm afraid that it will be very difficult for you to reach the Capital City."
"You don't have to worry about that." Lu Tianhao said and left with Lu Feng and the other two in the next second.
This time, Dongfang Mu didn't stop them. He just let Lu Tianhao and the other three leave.
"Liu Ying!"
However, before Lu Feng and the other three had gone far, Dongfang Mu hurriedly called one of them over.
"Elder!"
The man called Liu Ying asked respectfully.
"Liu Ying, quietly follow behind these four people and tell me their whereabouts at any time. Remember, don't be discovered by them." Dongfang Mu ordered.
"Yes, elder!"
Liu Ying responded. Then, the Spiritual Energy in his body turned, and the vague Qi disappeared in an instant.
After completing this, Liu Ying quickly chased after Lu Feng and the other three.
"The few of you stay here and guard this lake. The rest of you, follow me back to the Profound Heart Sect." After Liu Ying left, Dongfang Mu ordered the remaining people.
Following that, under Dongfang Mu's lead, other than leaving three disciples to guard the lake, the rest of them also returned to the Profound Heart Sect.
Although Lu Tianhao's words were very suspicious, his attitude towards Lu Feng was not false. Therefore, Dongfang Mu guessed that the background of these few people should not be simple.
It was because of this that he sent people to follow them, and not directly have a conflict with the four of them.
