After rebirth, she discovered the space golden finger

Chapter 565 Missing

The Sword Competition has entered its second half. The Yunshan Sect members are competing and practicing, and everything is proceeding as planned...

Pei Yun has been staying in the space for nearly a month, either practicing in the space spirit core or tending to the medicinal herbs in the spirit field.

When I came out, I found that the guest house was empty. It was daytime now, and I guess the other people from the Yunshan Sect were all participating in the arena competition.

Pei Yun thought about it and went out to find Luo Rufeng and others.

The tower was bustling with people coming and going. As soon as I stepped in, I could feel the bustling atmosphere. There were three large arenas in the center, each of which was packed with people, cheering and talking one after another...

Pei Yun observed carefully and found that the overall strength of the contestants in the climbing tower was several levels higher than that in the square arena.

She had heard Luo Qi say that the scoring rules for climbing the tower were different from those for the square arena. For those competing in the tower, the loser would have half of his or her points deducted directly, while the winner could get half of the opponent's points. This was much more exciting than accumulating points one by one!

The entire tower is twenty-eight stories high, and each floor has a points threshold. For example, to enter the ground floor, you need to have at least one hundred points, while the second floor requires three hundred points, and so on.

During the one month that Pei Yun was in seclusion in the space, Luo Rufeng had already reached the twenty-first floor and had no defeat so far. In terms of points, he could be ranked in the top five.

She walked up the stairs, and before she reached the twenty-first floor, she heard the excited discussions of the people around her—

"Luo Rufeng is simply too powerful! Xu Cheng is one of the best disciples of the Jijian Sect who have reached the Divine Transformation stage, yet he was defeated by him..."

"Haha! The Extreme Sword Sect has lost face now. Didn't you see how awful the face of the Extreme Sword Sect elder who was acting as referee was?"

"...Xu Cheng's cultivation is higher than Luo Rufeng's, and he's much older than Luo Rufeng. Sigh, he's just giving it to a junior..."

"The Jijian Sect prides itself on being the largest sect in the Haoyu Continent and a sect dedicated to sword cultivation, yet now a small sect from Beiqizhou is stepping on them and gaining prominence..."

……

The disciples of Jijian Sect were also greatly hit. Yi Jiantao had encouraged Xu Cheng to fight against Luo Rufeng before because he did not think Xu Cheng would lose. He just wanted to use someone else to suppress Luo Rufeng's momentum, but he didn't expect to "trap" Xu Cheng.

Pei An looked at Xu Cheng, who left the ring alone with a gloomy face, and sighed in his heart. He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Luo Rufeng who was surrounded by people from the Yunshan Sect.

He had lost to Luo Rufeng twice, and he was still a little unwilling to accept the result of this sword-fighting competition. He was eager to challenge the other party, but after watching several of Luo Rufeng's competitions, he lost confidence.

However, this time, he never expected that even Senior Brother Xu Cheng was not Luo Rufeng's opponent. In terms of age, he and Luo Rufeng belonged to the same generation. Xu Cheng was nearly two hundred years older than them and his cultivation was also higher than theirs, but now he was defeated by Luo Rufeng.

At this moment, Pei An felt inexplicably relieved!

The Jijian Sect disciple beside him was apprehensive: "Senior Brother Yi, Senior Brother Xu won't vent his anger on us, right?"

Yi Jiantao swallowed hard, "Senior Brother Xu is very broad-minded, how could he vent his anger on others?"

"Brother Yi, I heard that Brother Xu's brother, Elder Xu, has come out of seclusion. Maybe he'll ask Elder Xu to help him get back his grievances..."

"That's right, Elder Xu is the sect master's personal disciple!"

"This... those who participate in the sword-fighting tournament in the sect are usually disciples. Will the elders get involved?"

The people from the Jijian Sect looked at each other in bewilderment. They certainly hoped that someone could defeat Luo Rufeng and make them proud. After all, they were the number one sect in the world, so how could they lose to a small sect from Beiqizhou?

Among the top five in points now, except for Luo Rufeng, three of the other four are disciples of the Jijian Sect, and one is also from a famous sword-cultivating sect in Dongcangzhou. Of course, these five have never competed with each other so far.

Pei Yun listened to the discussions around her and knew that Luo Rufeng had won again in today's ring competition. She happily went to the 21st floor and met everyone from the Yunshan Sect head-on.

"Have you come out?" Luo Rufeng's eyes lit up when he saw the person coming. A smile as bright as spring breeze appeared on his usually calm face. He stepped forward and held her hand.

"I just came out of seclusion, and as soon as I got out I heard the good news of your victory..."

The Yunshan Sect group returned to the guest house chatting. They told Pei Yun about the recent situation of the past month and some exciting competitions on the arena.

As it was getting dark, Pei Yun looked around and asked curiously, "Where did Lan Chu go? Isn't he with you guys?"

"This kid has been going to Jitian City to inquire about news from time to time these days. He said that after the sword-fighting conference is over, he will go to Fellow Daoist Lan's sect to visit her..." Fu Lingchen said with a smile.

The Daoist Lan he mentioned is Lan Xiang, a disciple of Sheng Hui Sect in Dongcangzhou.

During the years when they went to the Demon Realm Mountain, it was Lanxiang who raised Lanchu, and the two had a very deep relationship.

"But it's getting late now, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Not to mention Pei Yun, the others also became a little worried. Normally, Lan Chu would not come back so late.

Lan Chu's cultivation level is low, he has just been promoted to the late stage of foundation building, and he is also a half-demon.

For a while, no one in the yard returned to their rooms. They waited until midnight, but Lan Chu didn't come back. Luo Rufeng had already used the communication talisman, but there was no reply.

"Let's go out and look for it!" Zhenhua suggested, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Pei Yun originally wanted Qu Yi to stay in the guest house. First, in case Lan Chu came back by herself, there would be someone to communicate with; second, he had Qin Meng's soul wood token in his hand, and she would not be able to explain to Qin Gu if something unexpected happened.

But Qin Meng said enthusiastically, "Are you as familiar with the geographical location around Jijian Sect as I am?! Qu Yi and I will help you find it!"

"I left a communication talisman in the guest house. If he comes back, he will know that we are looking for him..." Luo Rufeng said.

"That's it."

After discussing it, everyone left the Extreme Sword Sect and started searching separately...

However, until the early morning of the next day, when the Yunshan Sect returned to the guest house, they still had not found any trace of Lan Chu. Now everyone felt that something might have happened to Lan Chu.

"I will cancel today's competition, and we will go look for him outside Jitian City..." Luo Rufeng said.

Pei Yun looked at everyone present and said, "I have been in seclusion these days. Have you heard anything about what happened near Jitian City?"

After she reminded them, everyone began to try hard to recall the various gossips they had heard in the past few days.

Fu Lingchen suddenly perked up and said to everyone, "I went to the medicine shop a few days ago and found many people selling demon pills. I heard that just half a month ago, a small-scale beast tide broke out in Zhaoyuan Mountain, not far from Jitian City, and many people rushed to hunt them..."

"Isn't the beast tide in Zhaoyuan Mountain over yet?" Pei Yun frowned slightly. She had heard this news a few months ago.

"...Zhenhua and I have heard from several sword cultivators that some demon hunters who went to Zhaoyuan Mountain have not returned yet..." The demon-slaying sword spirit also spoke.

"Could it be that Lan Chu went to hunt monsters?" Although Lan Chu is a half-demon, he was raised by humans since he was a child and has no feelings for the monsters.

"...Could he be in danger?!" Luo Qi couldn't help but said anxiously.

"I gave him a defensive magic weapon and a communication jade slip. If he encounters danger, he should send a message to me..." Luo Rufeng said.

"Could it be... that he's trapped, and he can't communicate in this place?" Qin Meng speculated. "Let's go to Zhaoyuan Mountain first."

After looking at each other, they stood up and prepared to leave Jijian Sect and go to Zhaoyuan Mountain.

But before they could even leave the Jijian Sect's main gate, they were stopped by the Jijian Sect's members. The leading elder looked at Pei Yun seriously and asked, "Is this Pei Yun from the Yunshan Sect?"

Pei Yun was stunned for a moment, then frowned: "It's me."

"The Xianlan Sect claims that one of their disciples has been missing for several days, and they suspect you are involved. We would like to ask you to come with us to the Council Hall to meet with the Sect Master."

Everyone in the Yunshan Sect was shocked when these words came out. However, since this was the Jijian Sect, they naturally couldn't disobey. So they could only put Lan Chu's matter aside for the time being and followed the Jijian Sect elders to the meeting hall...
