Chapter 780: Holy Assembly Heavenly Prison
“Senior Brother!”
The others flew over to the white-robed young man’s side.
Then they saw that Senior Brother’s expression was blank, as if he’d been jolted by something.
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong? Were you hurt anywhere?” a junior sister asked anxiously.
The other junior brothers and sisters also looked at the white-robed young man with concern.
Could it be that Senior Brother had been injured in the earlier clash?
“Oh, I’m fine. I’m just a bit drained,” the white-robed young man said as he came back to his senses, waving a hand.
He immediately took out a pill and swallowed it, beginning to restore his mana.
Only after seeing that Senior Brother was truly fine did the group finally relax.
But soon, they grew excited again and started discussing what they had just witnessed.
“Senior Brother, did you see that? That senior just now was incredible— even a Nascent Soul Wind Beast had absolutely no power to resist in his hands!”
“More than that! That Wind Beast had clearly already fused its life core into the endless wind and sand, and it still got forcibly seized and dragged out by that senior. With that kind of divine ability, even our Master can’t do it, right?”
“Of course. Didn’t you see that senior leave by directly using Spatial Transference? And he even took someone with him. Anyone who can control spatial power has to be at least a Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul great expert. Naturally he’s stronger than Master.”
“I wonder who that senior really is. A Five-Tribulation Nascent Soul great expert shouldn’t be unknown.”
“Maybe that wasn’t his real appearance—he was hiding his identity.”
“Could be…”
As the white-robed young man listened to his junior brothers and sisters excitedly chatter, his mind was still stuck on that sudden flash of insight from earlier.
That senior who saved them… could he really be the person he was thinking of?
…
Lu Qing naturally had no time to care about what the white-robed young man and the others were thinking.
Saving them had only been a casual act—he’d seen they weren’t demonic cultivators, so he lent a hand.
As for whether they would recognize him, he didn’t particularly mind.
“Brother, where are we going next?” Xiao Yan asked after they left the Gale Plains.
In her heart, she was still marveling at what had just happened.
So this was a great world—its foundations truly deep beyond measure.
They had only just arrived, and they’d already encountered a Nascent Soul Realm–level exotic beast.
Even those few cultivators from earlier were extremely powerful; two or three of them were even at a higher realm than she was.
“We’ll go find an old friend first,” Lu Qing said with a faint smile.
“An old friend… someone you knew in the Great World of Tianyuan?” Xiao Yan asked.
“Mhm. A companion who once ventured through a secret realm with us,” Lu Qing nodded.
Xiao Li understood at once. “Ah Qing, are we going to find Daoist Wubao?”
“Correct. Daoist Wubao is well-informed. We’ll ask him about what’s happened in the Great World of Tianyuan during the years we’ve been away—whether anything major occurred.”
Although Lu Qing’s strength now was vastly greater than when he’d left, to the point that ordinary Nascent Soul Nine Tribulations experts could no longer threaten him at all, he still didn’t intend to act too ostentatiously. He planned to first learn the current situation in the Great World of Tianyuan, then decide his next moves.
After all, this was one of the most powerful great worlds within the Great Yuan Immortal Domain, with foundations unfathomably deep. Who knew how many ancient monsters were hiding in the shadows?
Even if he wasn’t afraid, there was no need to be reckless.
In the time that followed, Lu Qing traveled with Xiao Yan and the others, journeying toward the continent where Daoist Wubao resided.
On this day, they finally arrived at that continent. Lu Qing took out a Communication Talisman and began contacting him.
After a while, Lu Qing’s brows knitted.
“Ah Qing, what is it?” Xiao Li asked.
“Daoist Wubao doesn’t seem to be here. The Communication Talisman isn’t getting any response.”
Ordinary Communication Talismans had a limit to their range.
The one Lu Qing held—used specifically to contact Daoist Wubao—had a maximum range of at most two continents.
Not being able to reach him nearby meant Daoist Wubao wasn’t in the vicinity.
“Maybe the Daoist is roaming the world,” Lu Qing said, about to put the Communication Jade Talisman away, when suddenly he felt something was off.
Back then, he had given Daoist Wubao Primordial Blood of the Wu at the Golden Core Realm level. With the man’s aptitude, even if he had smoothly refined it all over these years, he should be in seclusion by now.
Why would he suddenly leave his homeland and head to other continents?
The more Lu Qing thought about it, the stranger it felt.
Suddenly, he flipped his palm and condensed an illusory world filled with stars, then flicked the Communication Jade Talisman into it.
As countless stars revolved around the talisman, little by little, an image appeared within the illusory world.
In the image, everything was dim.
Inside a filthy stone chamber, a figure was hooked through both shoulders by two black iron chains covered in runes. His head hung low as he was locked against the wall.
His entire body was covered in wounds so deep bone could be seen, a miserable sight.
Though the figure was gaunt and his face was hidden behind long, drooping hair, Lu Qing recognized him at a glance.
The man chained there was Daoist Wubao.
No one knew what he had suffered—he had been tortured until he was almost unrecognizable.
“Ah Qing, who is that?” Xiao Li asked immediately upon seeing this scene.
Xiao Yan and Wuxing and the others were equally shocked.
“That’s Daoist Wubao,” Lu Qing said heavily.
“That’s Daoist Wubao?” Xiao Li stared at the figure in disbelief.
That chubby Daoist who always wore a smile… had been tortured into this state?
“That’s right. It’s him.”
Lu Qing was about to push the deduction further to see where Daoist Wubao was imprisoned, when the image suddenly rang with a furious shout.
“How dare you窥视 the Holy Assembly Heavenly Prison!”
With that roar, the image rippled, rapidly turning blurry, and then shattered outright.
Clearly, a powerful figure on the other side had sensed the disturbance and used a secret art or treasure to block the heavenly secrets, preventing Lu Qing from deducing any further.
But from those words alone, Lu Qing already understood something.
“The Holy Assembly Heavenly Prison… how could Daoist Wubao be in a place like that?”
Instinctively, Lu Qing sensed that this matter might be connected to him.
After all, with Daoist Wubao’s strength, it should not be enough to draw the attention of an organization like the Holy Assembly and warrant imprisonment.
Could it be that the Holy Assembly had discovered Daoist Wubao’s connection to him, and that was why they captured him?
Lu Qing couldn’t be sure, but he understood one thing: he couldn’t ignore this. He had to find out what was really happening.
“Ah Qing, what do we do? Daoist Wubao has been taken—are you going to save him?” Xiao Li asked. She knew Ah Qing well; there was no way he would watch Daoist Wubao suffer like this.
“Of course I’m saving him. But first we need to find out the reason. Come—let’s go somewhere else.”
Since he couldn’t probe for information through Daoist Wubao, Lu Qing already had another person in mind.
This time, he directly brought out the Void Flying Boat. After taking Xiao Yan and the others inside, he immediately used Spatial Traversal, shifting toward another continent.
