Chapter 746: Adoptive Younger Sister
“Senior Brother Lv, has your esteemed sect received any news from Elder Han yet?” An elderly man with white hair sitting opposite Lv Luo suddenly asked politely.
This man, named Elder Xu Changjing, an early nascent soul cultivator, was an elder of the Water Shadow Sect under the Heavenly Dao Alliance. He had just arrived in Tian Yi City yesterday. In the past, he had met Lv Luo a few times.
“Not yet. Why, Elder Xu, are you also concerned about Junior Brother Han’s situation?” Lv Luo was momentarily surprised but then smiled and replied.
“Hehe! Naturally. From what you said, it seems other fellow cultivators have asked the same question. No wonder—before I arrived at Tian Yi City, my ears were already filled with rumors about this Han fellow cultivator. Tsk, tsk! To be at the early nascent soul stage and still manage to escape from Divine Master Mulan’s hands, that’s something we ordinary people can hardly achieve. And I also heard that this Han cultivator supposedly only formed his nascent soul in recent years. I don’t know if this is true or not, but if it is, that’s even more astonishing,” Xu Changjing said with a smile.
Upon hearing the white-haired elder’s words, the other cultivators exchanged glances and all showed interest as they looked toward Lv Luo.
Naturally, these people had heard some rumors about Han Li, but no one had really heard that he was a newly minted nascent soul cultivator.
“About that? Junior Brother Han indeed only advanced to the nascent soul stage not long ago,” Lv Luo hesitated for a moment but soon thought that others already knew the matter, so he admitted it without hiding.
“Hmm!”
The others in the hall couldn’t help but react, with two even drawing a sharp breath.
“To have such great magical abilities at such a young age, Elder Han will likely advance to the late nascent soul stage in the future. I offer my congratulations to Senior Brother Lv. The prosperity of Luoyun Sect is just around the corner. When that happens, our Heavenly Dao Alliance will also gain a great cultivator!” Xu Changjing was also secretly surprised and spoke with a hint of envy.
The others felt similar—while envious, they also offered a few words of praise.
Lv Luo felt somewhat proud inside but modestly responded with a few humble remarks.
“However, Senior Brother Lv, although Elder Han escaped from beneath Divine Master Mulan’s hands, he must have suffered serious injuries. Otherwise, how could he remain out of sight for such a long time? It would be best for you to send more people to search. If manpower is insufficient, our sect can send some disciples to assist,” said another middle-aged man with thick drooping eyebrows, frowning slightly, his tone somewhat cold.
“I’m not very clear about this matter. But I guess some vital energy must have been lost. He is probably hiding away to recuperate,” Lv Luo’s heart tightened, but he calmly replied without showing it.
Lv Luo had lived for centuries; it was hard not to notice the envy in the other’s words.
The man with drooping eyebrows was an elder of the Luanming Sect, the greatest sect in the Heavenly Dao Alliance. The couple who were jointly known as the dual cultivation masters capable of opposing the three great cultivators were both elders of Luanming Sect. Otherwise, how could Luanming Sect stand unchallenged above the other sects in the Heavenly Dao Alliance?
Now, hearing that Luoyun Sect’s elder might advance to the late nascent soul stage, this man naturally felt uncomfortable and subtly dampened the mood.
But outwardly, he appeared very concerned—making it hard to say anything.
Just as the atmosphere became a bit awkward, suddenly a red light shot in from outside the door. It circled once and then shot straight toward Lv Luo.
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Lv Luo himself looked surprised but still waved his hand at the red light.
Instantly, the red light transformed into a ball of blazing fire and fell into Lv Luo’s hand.
