I Have A Dual World Seal

The bedroom door opened, and Lu Zheng saw Fan Boyu kneeling on one knee on the ground, hand on his chest, face pale as paper, his breath weak and dispirited.

"Young Master Lu..."

Lu Zheng’s eyes narrowed slightly. He scrutinized Fan Boyu from top to bottom three times before waving his hand to send a strand of Innate Cloud Qi into Fan Boyu’s body to stabilize his injuries.

With a gentle wave of his hand, a cloud of white mist lifted Fan Boyu up, and then Lu Zheng led him to the side room.

"Mr. Fan..."

Lu Zheng looked at Fan Boyu’s expression of utter despair, a look of heart-dead mourning in his eyes, and couldn’t help but cautiously ask, "What happened? Did something happen to the Primordial Saint Sect?"

Fan Boyu turned his head to look at Lu Zheng, and then saw Liu Qingyan emerging from the bedroom.

"Young Master Lu, the Saintess Qingxin of the New Sect colluded with outsiders to cause trouble, killing the Saintess Yu Kun, imprisoning the Saintess Yunlu and Saintess Zhi Lan, and killed many disciples of the Original Sect line!

Now, the Primordial Saint Sect is dominated by the New Sect. Those disciples who do not submit to the New Sect are either killed or imprisoned. Some disciples who were not in the sect managed to escape.

I was in the sect at the time, attacked by two sacrificial priests from the New Sect, and escaped with all my might."

At this point, Fan Boyu’s expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Young Master Lu, you’d better move house quickly, preferably to Sanjiang Dao, as close to White Cloud Mountain as possible!"

Lu Zheng raised an eyebrow, "What, did the Saintess Zhi Lan reveal our whereabouts?"

"That’s not it, but the Saintess Zhi Lan was captured by the Saintess Qingxin."

Fan Boyu said in a deep voice, "Saintess Qingxin colluded with White Smoke Valley, experts in the Divine Soul Secret Technique. They have imprisoned the Saintess Yunlu and Saintess Zhi Lan, and will surely try to get some information from them.

I fear they may accidentally learn of your whereabouts from the Saintess Zhi Lan, and in order to root out threats, they might send people to the Central Plains, which would put you in danger!"

"Now the Original Sect line has only the lone seedling of Yue Yao left!" Fan Boyu said anxiously.

While Fan Boyu was anxious, Lu Zheng remained calm. He opened the door to the side room, placed Fan Boyu on the bed, patted the gourd, retrieved an elixir, and handed it to Fan Boyu.

"White Smoke Valley, what kind of force is that?" Lu Zheng asked.

"White Smoke Valley was established before the Primordial Saint Sect, created by a master of the previous dynasty, most adept in the Divine Soul Secret Technique. It’s said that they have a town-protecting Dharma Artifact, the Soul-Lowering Bell, which has helped White Smoke Valley stave off extermination several times."

Fan Boyu said, "But the Primordial Saint Sect and White Smoke Valley are far apart, always minding their own business. I don’t know how Saintess Qingxin colluded with Master Yanxia to secretly take out the Saintess Yu Kun."

"How do you know they ambushed the Saintess Yu Kun?" Lu Zheng asked.

Fan Boyu said as a matter of course, "Saintess Yu Kun’s cultivation is extraordinary. Without a sneak attack, even if they joined forces, they could escape without losing life or Dao Practice."

"You said White Smoke Valley has a town-protecting Dharma Artifact, the Soul-Lowering Bell, didn’t you?" Lu Zheng asked.

Fan Boyu was momentarily stunned, "It’s said the Soul-Lowering Bell never leaves White Smoke Valley, for fear of being lost outside..."

At this point, Fan Boyu was at a loss for words, "Could it be?"

Lu Zheng shrugged, "How would I know? Anyway, just focus on recovering."

At this moment, Liu Qingyan was already seated by Fan Boyu’s bed, with three fingers on his wrist, while Du Yueyao appeared at the entrance of the side room.

"Priest Fan!" Du Yueyao’s eyes narrowed, immediately rushing over to ask urgently, "What happened?"

Fan Boyu had concealed his breath when he arrived, which didn’t escape Lu Zheng’s notice, but Du Yueyao hadn’t sensed it. She came over only because Lu Zheng had communicated to notify her.

Without Fan Boyu needing to repeat, Lu Zheng recounted what Fan Boyu had said to Du Yueyao.

"What! Saintess Zhi Lan was captured?" Du Yueyao was taken aback, her expression tense.

While she didn’t feel much belonging to the Primordial Saint Sect, Saintess Zhi Lan visited her every year, guiding her with care, creating bonds.

At this time, Liu Qingyan released Fan Boyu, nodding, "He was hit by several curses from the Primordial Saint Sect, but luckily Mr. Fan is experienced in this field, not injuring the core, but having repeatedly stimulated his essence and overdrawn his primordial qi. To recover, he needs to rest for at least six months."

Fan Boyu shook his head, "Lying in bed for six months is better than being buried."

Returning to the previous topic, Fan Boyu continued, "After Saintess Zhi Lan took back the latest ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method’ by Yue Yao, she and the Saintess Yu Kun studied it together, gaining insights. While they haven’t passed it to other disciples, I suspect this has been discovered by the New Sect.

The sudden strike by the New Sect might not be without the intention of obtaining the complete ’Su Nu’s Prayer Method.’ And if the Saintess Zhi Lan cannot resist the secrets of White Smoke Valley, the affairs of Saintess Yue Yao will cease to be secret.

Saintess Yue Yao, inheriting through the Su Girl’s Dream Transmission Method from the Upper Realm, is the worldly heir of Su Nu. When her cultivation is sufficient, she is the rightful next leader of the Primordial Saint Sect.

However, the New Sect has newly created the ’Holy Goddess Descent Technique,’ abandoning the Original Sect’s tenets. How would they be willing to accept Saintess Yue Yao as the Leader of the Holy Sect?"

Fan Boyu said solemnly, "If unwilling to wait a hundred years for Saintess Yue Yao to personally clear the house of Primordial Saint Sect, their only option is to..."

"Eliminate the threat in the cradle," Lu Zheng said blandly.

Fan Boyu blinked in confusion, "Saintess Yue Yao isn’t a baby."

Lu Zheng was speechless, "I meant it as a metaphor, do you get it? It means to eliminate a potentially significant threat before it grows. What is more fragile than a baby in a cradle?"

"Oh, oh." Fan Boyu understood, "I know Young Master Lu is formidable, but after all, two fists can’t beat four hands. Saintess Qingxin, Saintess Ming Ling, and Saintess Yue Zhen are all formidable, not to mention there might also be people from White Smoke Valley.

If they find out about you from Saintess Zhi Lan, staying here will be risky!"

Lu Zheng asked, "How much Dao Practice do these three Saintesses have?"

"Saintess Qingxin, exceptionally gifted, has undergone the Divine Descent three times, with over four thousand years of Dao Practice!"

Fan Boyu said solemnly, "I’m not sure about Master Yanxia from White Smoke Valley, but it shouldn’t be much less than Saintess Qingxin, at least not by much."

Lu Zheng nodded.

The Primordial Saint Sect previously had eight Light Saintesses, and the most formidable Saintess Yu Kun likely had around five thousand years of Dao Practice. Adding some powerful sacrificial priests, it indeed was worthy of being called a Southern Border Great Sect.

At least the Flower Cloud Sect, Mist God Valley, and even Dingfeng Mountain in terms of scale and strength couldn’t compare to the Primordial Saint Sect.

In the past, offending such a great power and with the risk of them discovering his residence at any time, Lu Zheng might have had to move.

However, now...
