The small and dark utility room fell into a dead silence for a moment.

Lu Yixiu had never felt that his steps were so heavy. He was so heavy that every inch he moved made him feel almost overwhelmed.

He was able to stop it, and this was the source of his pain.

Because it is obvious that the soul-seeking guard who suddenly appeared is not here in person, but is controlled by a ray of soul that is "Senior Brother Du"'s body. In this case, the strength he can exert is very limited.

If Lu Yixiu was determined to protect Lan Xinyu, it would not be impossible to use the Wusheng Palace forbidden technique to delay for a moment and let others take Lan Xinyu to leave the starship quickly.

But he couldn't, otherwise the bodies of his wife and children would be in front of him the next day.

After a person compromises for the first time, he will compromise a second time or even more times.

If I had known this, it would be better to leave Lan Xinyu on Jiyu Star. Although that would also face great risks, it would be better than...the established fact in front of me.

Five seconds of silence felt like a long century.

After all, he stepped aside and even turned around, unable to face the dripping blood.

"well……"

I don’t know whose sigh it is.

The dagger was drawn, but no blood came out.

Because Lan Xinyu is no longer where she was.

A blue and brown star suddenly appeared, hanging above the soul-seeking guard, and slowly dropped down.

The dark blue misty light was like the strongest chain, making him unable to move for a moment, feeling frightened and angry.

The battle was over as soon as it started.

Another black dagger penetrated the soul-seeking guard's forehead, and black blood flowed out.

As the vitality of this body rapidly weakened, the sea of ​​soul also swayed, like duckweed with no shore to rely on.

"you……"

The soul-seeking guard didn't even say a complete sentence, because Lan Xinyu was already standing behind him, with her right palm pressed against the back of his head.

The extremely pure and extremely powerful soul power surged out like the vast sea, completely defeating his soul sea defense line.

Senior Brother Du's body fell limply, and a wisp of soul from the soul-seeking guard had no choice but to escape.

"Very good, Lan Xinyu... I underestimated you. I won't make the same mistake a second time."

His cold voice still echoed, but this parted soul followed the connection and returned to its original form.

Lan Xinyu just stood quietly, not because she didn't want to avoid future troubles, but because the Soul-seeking Guard's original strength was far superior to hers, and if she traced it back to the source, she would probably suffer a lot.

Therefore, the situation has undoubtedly become more tense. Although a traitor has been caught, once the matter is exposed, the Daoling clan will definitely respond as quickly as possible, and everyone on the star boat will be shrouded in danger.

"Yu'er, you...have reached the true Tao realm?"

In the end, it was Lu Yixiu who broke the silence.

"...Well, I figured out some problems and made a breakthrough."

Lan Xinyu paused and then said: "Elder Lu, I heard it all. Is it because... your family is in their hands?"

"Yes or no, there is no difference anymore." A bleak smile appeared on Lu Yixiu's face.

"If we find a way to save them..." Lan Xinyu moved her lips, as if she wanted to save something.

Lu Yixiu interrupted her: "I have done many other things this month."

Lan Xinyu could only remain silent.

"Yu'er, you are the best disciple of my Wusheng Palace since the establishment of the sect. This is true in every aspect."

Lu Yixiu's voice was much softer, and he was talking about unrelated topics.

"I once wanted to accept you as my disciple, but later I realized... I'm not worthy."

"Now the sect has reached a fork in the road between life and death. If we make one wrong move, the thousand-year foundation of Wusheng Palace may be destroyed."

"I know you are a very kind and good boy. It was a coincidence that you stayed here. But the place you really want to go to...is Western Union."

"You have repaid what the sect has given you, even more than you have done. Even if... you did not save the master of the palace, nor did you save other fellow sects, you don't need to blame yourself."

"From now on, you don't have to constrain yourself anymore. Just go wherever you want to go."

"As for the outcome of this war...who knows."

His voice gradually became softer.

"Elder Lu?"

Only then did Lan Xinyu realize something, but she had been paying attention to Lu Yixiu's every move. At this moment, she couldn't understand why his soul sea suddenly fell into pieces.

"Yu'er, I only have one last request..."

Lu Yixiu seemed to have lost all his strength, and slowly sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning on a wooden box behind him.

"You said."

Lan Xinyu walked to him and squatted down.

"I have failed the sect, and I have also failed Yan'er and Xiaozhen... Since the mission has failed, the Daoling clan will not let them live even if they want to come. If you can, help me find their remains, or relics, and me

Burying them together is enough..."

Lu Yixiu stared blankly into the void in front of him, as if he could still see his wife's smile.

"I promise you." Lan Xinyu said softly.

"Thanks."

Lu Yixiu's consciousness gradually blurred, and his words became a little difficult: "Limited by the soul curse, I can't reveal anything... However, if I take the initiative to smash it, I still have time. At the moment when the soul sea is completely shattered, I can do

Something useful."

"Give me a jade slip..." His eyes began to wander and lost focus.

Lan Xinyu thrust a jade slip into Lu Yixiu's hand without saying a word. She knew very well what the other party meant. Many things were said too slowly, but writing on the jade slip with soul thoughts could express more.

information.

Lu Yixiu's fingertips rubbed the smooth surface of the jade slip, struggling to summon up the last of his soul power, and wrote some somewhat incoherent words.

"Yu'er?"

He tried his best to open his eyes wide in confusion, as if he suddenly couldn't see Lan Xinyu who was so close at hand.

"Elder Lu, I'm here." Lan Xinyu suddenly felt sad in her heart.

"Yu'er, take it..."

Lu Yixiu raised his hand halfway and then stopped suddenly.

This most virtuous and respected elder who once devoted himself to the Wusheng Palace has closed his eyes as a traitor.

In this war, there are not so many duplicitous traitors, but just many ordinary people who can't help themselves.

Lan Xinyu held the jade slip and remained silent.

In the jade slip, there is a list of traitors known to Lu Yixiu, as well as the Dao Ling Clan's plan to control the Wusheng Palace.

When she stood up, she had made a decision in silence.

Lan Xinyu used her spiritual skills to awaken the unconscious Junior Sister Yin. When the latter was stunned and confused, she had already strode out of the utility room.

Most of the Wusheng Palace soul masters in the star boat were meditating with their eyes closed, but they soon noticed Lan Xinyu's appearance.

"Hey, Senior Sister Lan?"

"Yu'er, didn't you go on a mission?"

Lan Xinyu did not respond to everyone's questions, but just walked through the crowd and stood in front of everyone.

"My fellow disciples," she said slowly, her voice steady and strong, making people feel inexplicably reassured and convinced.

There was silence in the starship, and everyone held their breath, waiting for her next words.

"There is a traitor among us. He took the initiative to join the Daoling clan, betrayed the palace master, and also betrayed a lot of important information."

After Lan Xinyu finished speaking, everyone suddenly became upset.

Lu Yixiu's jade slip stated that Senior Brother Du had rebelled and surrendered to the enemy, and as a carrier for the spirit-hunting guards to separate their souls, it must be voluntary.

"The sect suffered extremely heavy losses as a result. Although I managed to expose his identity, the person who controlled him at that time was the split soul of a soul-seeking guard."

Everyone suddenly took a breath of air. They never expected that they were on the same starship and they were practicing on one side, and such an earth-shattering event would happen on the other side.

"Senior Sister Nalan, this person is now..." A young man suddenly became anxious.

Lan Xinyu took a deep breath and suppressed the turbulent emotions in her heart: "After a fierce battle, the traitor was killed, but Elder Lu... died."

"What?!"

Everyone was stunned. They even thought that Lan Xinyu was joking. Just now, Elder Lu was directing everyone to gather and prepare for a fierce battle. Why suddenly...

"I know that everyone is unwilling to accept it now and dare not believe it. However, the situation has reached its worst point and there is no room for us to grieve and mourn the dead."
To be continued...
