Chapter 108 Missed

In this deep and mysterious secret place, Lu Xiuyuan's life was flowing like still water, without any ripples. However, Yunlu from Mingyue Palace suddenly attacked and ruthlessly framed him. Those who had been on good terms with Lu Xiuyuan in the past, under Yunlu's instigation, changed their attitudes and launched a fierce attack on him.

Lu Xiuyuan was filled with astonishment and confusion. He could never have imagined that those who had once called him brothers would actually do such a cruel thing to him. A flash of coldness flashed in his eyes, but more of it was helplessness and sadness. He knew that he was in a desperate situation at the moment.

However, Lu Xiuyuan did not give up. He knew that only by running out desperately could he escape this unforeseen disaster. So he pulled Wen Lingyue beside him, and the two fought side by side and rushed out with all their might.

Wen Lingyue stood silently beside Lu Xiuyuan, her eyes full of determination and trust. She didn't ask any more questions, but just held Lu Xiuyuan's hand tightly and faced this sudden crisis with him.

Under the siege of the crowd, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue kept changing directions to avoid the attacks. Their movements were light and swift, and every dodge was amazing. However, as time went by, their physical strength was gradually exhausted, and the scars on their bodies became more and more.

At this time, Lu Xiuyuan made an unexpected decision. He did not choose to run deeper into the secret realm, because it was more dangerous and unknown there; instead, he turned around and ran in the opposite direction. This decision surprised everyone, but it also gave them a glimmer of hope.

Lu Xiuyuan pulled Wen Lingyue and shuttled through the crowd like two flashes of lightning. They kept changing directions, making it difficult for the pursuers to keep up. Finally, after a hard run, they arrived at the entrance of the secret realm.

At the entrance was a wide waterfall, the water flowing like a silk thread, with a mighty momentum. The roar of the waterfall seemed to cover up all other sounds, giving them a brief moment of peace. Lu Xiuyuan looked at the waterfall in front of him, with a flash of determination in his eyes. He knew that this was their last chance to escape.

So, he pulled Wen Lingyue without hesitation and plunged into the waterfall. The water of the waterfall was like countless sharp blades smashing down on their heads, but they seemed to feel no pain and just swam forward desperately.

Under the cover of the waterfall, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue were able to temporarily escape the pursuit of the pursuers. They followed the water all the way down until they were far away from the entrance of the secret realm, and then they dared to show their heads.

The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. Lu Xiuyuan knew that he had become the target of public criticism. He knew that those greedy pursuers would never let him go. They only cared about the treasure in the secret realm, and he was just a tool for them to achieve their goals.

Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue tried their best to escape the siege and temporarily escaped the pursuit. However, they did not relax, but paid more attention to the movements around them. They knew that the pursuers would not give up easily, and they had to stay vigilant at all times to ensure their safety.

Sure enough, not long after, the shouts of the pursuers were heard on the shore. They claimed that they would not harm Lu Xiuyuan's life, and as long as he was willing to take them to the treasure hunt, they would be willing to split the profits with him 50-50. However, Lu Xiuyuan scoffed at these hypocritical promises. He knew very well that the "I won't harm your life" these people said was just a lie to make him relax his vigilance. Once the treasure hunt was over, their greedy nature would be exposed, and it would be unknown whether he and Wen Lingyue could save their lives.

Lu Xiuyuan held his breath and concentrated underwater, trying not to reveal any flaws. He knew that although he could temporarily avoid the sight of the pursuers underwater, it was not a long-term solution. He had to find a way to escape from this area as soon as possible to ensure his safety.

However, underwater movement is limited, and staying in the water for a long time will also make people exhausted. Lu Xiuyuan was anxious, but he could only wait patiently for an opportunity. He kept an eye on the movements on the shore, looking for a chance to escape.

At this moment, he suddenly found that the direction of the water seemed to have changed. He immediately swam in the direction of the water. Soon, he found a long and narrow waterway in front of him. This waterway seemed to lead to another direction, which might be a chance for him to escape.

Lu Xiuyuan entered the waterway without hesitation, followed by Wen Lingyue. They moved forward along the waterway, full of expectations. However, they did not relax their vigilance, but paid more careful attention to the movements around them.

The water in the waterway was turbulent, but Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue were both experienced warriors. With their extraordinary perseverance and skills, they moved forward with difficulty. They had only one thought in their minds, which was to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.

After a difficult journey, they finally swam out of the waterway. In front of them was an open area of ​​water, and there seemed to be no trace of pursuers. Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that they were temporarily safe.

Just when Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue heard the people on the shore going away and thought they had escaped, they climbed out of the water on tiptoe, their clothes soaked, like a lotus leaf just pulled out of the water, dripping with water. They smiled at each other, feeling grateful for surviving the disaster. After all, the thrilling escape just now almost exhausted all their strength.

However, just when the two had just breathed a sigh of relief and were about to continue to escape, a sudden voice sounded behind them: "You are in such a good mood, hiding underwater to enjoy the scenery?" The voice was calm and cold, but with a majesty that could not be ignored, which made the two people's hearts instantly rise to their throats.

They turned around suddenly and saw a man in green standing on the shore with his hands behind his back. His figure looked otherworldly in the afterglow of the setting sun, as if he was an immortal who walked out of a painting. However, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue did not dare to let down their guard at all, because they saw a sharp and cold light in the eyes of the man in green.

Lu Xiuyuan took a deep breath and tried to make his voice sound calm: "Who are you? Why are you here?" He had secretly clenched the hilt of the sword in his hand, ready to fight at any time.

The man in green smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in his smile: "I can see at a glance that you are the one being hunted by Spirit Beast Mountain. As for who I am, it is not important. What is important is that I know your secret and your value."

Wen Lingyue leaned close to Lu Xiuyuan, her heart filled with fear and anxiety. She knew that the man in front of her was definitely not a good person, and it seemed that their identities had been discovered by the other party.

Lu Xiuyuan's heart sank. He realized that he and Wen Lingyue were in danger. But he did not panic. Instead, he calmly analyzed the situation. He knew that the most important thing at this moment was to stay calm and clear-headed so that he could find a chance to escape.

He asked in a deep voice: "What do you want to do? If you come here for the treasures in the secret realm, then we can cooperate. But if you have other purposes, please tell me frankly, and we may be able to discuss a solution that will satisfy both parties."

The man in green shook his head, a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes: "Cooperation? Do you think you are qualified to cooperate with me? To tell you the truth, I am here to take your life."

After saying that, the man in green suddenly moved. His figure left a trail of shadows in the air, and he instantly appeared in front of Lu Xiuyuan. A powerful energy gathered in his palm, and he slapped Lu Xiuyuan fiercely.

Lu Xiuyuan was prepared, and he quickly swung his sword to block. However, the palm power of the man in green was so strong that his sword was buzzing and almost flew out of his hand. He was shocked and thought to himself that this man was indeed very powerful.

Wen Lingyue also made a move at this time, waving the whip in her hand, trying to entangle the man in green. But the man in green seemed to be able to predict her movements and easily avoided her attack.

For a moment, the three of them were caught in a fierce battle. Although Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue were both experienced fighters, they still seemed a little powerless in the face of such a powerful opponent as the man in green. The man in green's attack was fierce and swift, making it almost impossible for them to resist.

However, just when the two were about to fall into a desperate situation, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly came up with a plan. He used his flexible body movements to deliberately expose a flaw and lure the man in green to attack. The man in green really fell into the trap, and he slapped out with his palm, heading straight for Lu Xiuyuan's chest.

However, just when his palm force was about to hit Lu Xiuyuan, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly turned sideways and dodged the attack. At the same time, he took the opportunity to stab the green-clothed man's waist with the sword in his hand.

Just when Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue thought they had escaped and were about to breathe a sigh of relief, the man in green suddenly attacked. His movements were as swift as the wind, dazzling everyone. He slapped out with one palm, and his spiritual power instantly burst out, like a violent tornado, rushing straight at the two of them.

Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue were both shocked. They immediately waved their weapons and tried to resist the attack of the man in green. However, the man in green was so skilled that his spiritual power seemed to have endless power, and he neutralized the attacks of the two one by one.

Just as the two were panicking, the man in green suddenly attacked with a "Clear Wind Slash". This move was extremely powerful, with a sharp sound of wind, and went straight to the vital points of the two. Although Lu Xiuyuan and Wen Lingyue tried their best to resist, they were eventually knocked to the ground by this move.

The two men fell to the ground, feeling pain all over their bodies. They looked up and saw the man in green standing there leisurely, as if the previous blow was just a casual move for him.

A surge of anger surged in Lu Xiuyuan's heart. He struggled to stand up and glared at the man in green. He knew that he could not be defeated like this. So he quickly put on the Phoenix Red Gold Armor on his body. This was his magic weapon for protection and also his last hope.

Wearing the Phoenix Red Gold Armor, Lu Xiuyuan seemed to be a different person. His momentum instantly increased a lot. He rushed towards the man in green again, swinging the sword in his hand and launching a fierce attack.

However, the man in green didn't seem to care about Lu Xiuyuan's attack. He still stood there leisurely, just resisting Lu Xiuyuan's attack lightly. There was even a smile on his face, as if he was enjoying Lu Xiuyuan's performance.

"Interesting, interesting." The man in green chuckled, "I didn't expect you to have some skills, but you're still a long way from defeating me."

Hearing this, Lu Xiuyuan's anger grew even stronger. He cursed, "Today is the day you die!" As he spoke, he took out a grenade and threw it at the man in green.

The man in green didn't seem to expect Lu Xiuyuan to suddenly use such a method, and a trace of surprise flashed across his face. However, his reaction was extremely fast. He dodged the grenade attack with a flash of his body.

"Boom!" The grenade exploded where the man in green had just stood, creating a large cloud of smoke. Seeing this, Lu Xiuyuan was delighted, for he thought the man in green had been killed.

"Now you are finally dead." Lu Xiuyuan said, panting.

However, when the smoke cleared, they were surprised to find that the man in green was standing there unharmed, with a smile on his face, as if everything that had just happened was just a game.

"It seems that I still underestimated you." The man in green said calmly, "But, that's as far as you can go."

As he spoke, the man in green suddenly launched an attack. His speed was even faster than before, and he rushed towards Lu Xiuyuan like a flash of lightning. Although Lu Xiuyuan fought back, he was eventually defeated by the man in green. He fell to the ground, powerless, unable to move.

Wen Lingyue was horrified when she saw this. She knew she was no match for the man in green, but she couldn't watch Lu Xiuyuan being killed by him. So she mustered up her courage, swung the whip in her hand, and rushed towards the man in green.

However, the green-clothed man was too powerful. He just waved his hand and neutralized Wen Lingyue's attack. Then, he kicked out and knocked Wen Lingyue to the ground.

Wen Lingyue fell to the ground, feeling pain all over her body. She looked up and saw the man in green standing in front of them with a cold smile on his face.

"You two, just stay here." said the man in green

Just as the man in green was about to get rid of Lu Xiuyuan, the thorny opponent, the spiritual power in his hand had already condensed to the extreme, and a murderous aura filled the air. However, at this critical moment, Lu Xiuyuan suddenly shouted, revealing an unprecedented eagerness and temptation in his voice: "Don't you want to know the treasures in the secret realm? I can take you there, and all the treasures belong to you!"

The man in green paused for a moment, and turned to look at Lu Xiuyuan, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes. Treasures in the secret realm? This was indeed a great temptation for him. He had been looking for all kinds of rare treasures to enhance his strength. If Lu Xiuyuan really knew that there were treasures hidden in the secret realm, then he might be able to let them go in exchange for this important information.
