C977 Robbed
Although Lee Zhuohua was not very willing to leave Zhuyun with Qingyun, he knew that if he insisted on taking Zhuyun away, he would not be able to escape from Bian Wind City. Thus, after weighing the pros and cons, he could only make this decision.
However, he knew Qingyun's personality very well. Although she liked to mess around sometimes, she wasn't a bad person in the end. Furthermore, what Qingyun said was correct. For Zhuyun, staying in Bian Wind City was indeed beneficial to him, because the bloodline of the Cyan Bird Clan was purer than that of Zhuyun, and Qingyun could also help Zhuyun in terms of bloodline.
Firstly, there was no danger for Zhuyun to stay in Bian Wind City, and secondly, it was beneficial for Zhuyun's own cultivation. After considering all of it, Lee Zhuohua felt that leaving Zhuyun in Bian Wind City was the right choice.
Right now, he just wanted to get to the Rain Woman Peak where Bai Yi and the others were and figure out what was going on with Bai Yi and Yu Zun.
After leaving Bian Wind City, he had flown south for two days in a row, and at his current speed, it would take him another day to reach Rain Woman's Peak.
Lee Zhuohua was now at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. If he was at the three great realms now, two days was enough for him to go anywhere, but the boundless universe was different. In terms of territory, the boundless universe was more than a hundred times larger than the three great realms. Therefore, even a Celestial Phenomenon cultivator would need dozens of years to travel across the boundless universe.
After two days of flying, Lee Zhuohua felt that the power in his body was a little weak, so he decided to land on the ground to rest for a while.
"I have been advancing at full speed for two days in a row. My body has indeed been exhausted. I should go down and rest for a while to recover my strength." Lee Zhuohua thought in his heart. After that, he looked around below and saw that there was an empty space in the mountain forest. Lee Zhuohua immediately landed.
As soon as he arrived on the ground, Lee Zhuohua first looked around and did not find any sign of any Spirit Beasts entrenched here. He sat down cross-legged in peace and began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to recover his energy.
"Phew!"
Lee Zhuohua let out a sigh of relief. His eyes slowly closed, and the cultivation technique in his body began to circulate. The surrounding spiritual energy was quickly attracted to him, entering his body and being refined into his own energy.
The density of the spiritual energy in the world far exceeded that of the small worlds of the three major realms - Celestial Phenomenon cultivators like him would need about half a day to recover by absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth from the small worlds of the three major realms - but it would only take two hours to recover in the big world of the universe.
Lee Zhuohua didn't want to waste any more time. After all, Bai Yi and the others were still waiting for him, so he focused his mind on the deep level of cultivation, wanting to quickly recover his body.
Logically speaking, very few people would do this outside, because once there was danger approaching, they would be in a state of cultivation and would not be able to sense it at all. However, Lee Zhuohua was different. He was protected by the Heavenly Faction, and if there was any danger around, the Heavenly Faction would immediately wake him up from his cultivation state.
This was also the reason why Lee Zhuohua dared to enter a cultivation state in the wilderness.
The surging spiritual energy entered Lee Zhuohua's body, and Lee Zhuohua's consciousness also fell into cultivation. And at this moment.
"Whoosh..."
The sound of leaves swaying could be heard, and a group of people dressed like bandits walked out from the side.
This group was the bandits that occupied this area. They weren't cultivators, but were just ordinary people. Originally, they all had their own lives, but due to various reasons, they chose to become bandits.
Today there was a caravan set up by these bandits. Normally, when a caravan set out, they would ask the cultivators to escort them along their way. But the bandits knew that the caravan was short of funds and could not afford to hire cultivators to open a path for them, so they chose to transport their own goods.
After learning of this news, the brigands had long been lying in ambush here, and when the caravan passed by, a conflict broke out between the two. Because they were all ordinary people, and the brigands had been prepared, the caravan was soon taken down.
Right now, the bandits were suppressing the merchant group as they walked towards the stronghold. They just happened to pass by Lee Zhuohua's place.
"Hmm? Boss, look over there. There is a person there." A bald man shouted to the scar-faced man behind him.
The knife-scarred man was the leader of the brigands, and he was very happy that they had succeeded in ambushing the caravan. When he heard his men's words and looked forward, he saw a well-dressed young man sitting cross-legged as if he were asleep, and his eyes lit up.
As a mountain bandit, he often wondered whether he could kidnap anyone he met out in the open, especially one who didn't seem to be from an ordinary family.
However, the scar-faced man was also very cautious. He was worried that Lee Zhuohua was a cultivator, so he did not rush forward. Instead, he let his men probe.
"You, go and give it a try." The knife-scarred man ordered the bald little brother from before.
"Huh?" When the bald man heard his boss, his face immediately turned bitter. He was also afraid that Lee Zhuohua might be a cultivator. Although they were bandits, when they met a cultivator, it was just like a cat touching a tiger.
If they had a caravan under the protection of a cultivator, they would never have dared to attack them. Now the bald man wanted to slap himself in the face.
"What's wrong?" The scar-faced man glared at the bald man, scaring the bald man so much that he could only bite the bullet and walk towards Lee Zhuohua.
The bald man slowly approached Lee Zhuohua. Since he was not sure if Lee Zhuohua was a cultivator or not, he did not dare to do anything excessive. The bandits behind him also nervously watched the bald man slowly approach Lee Zhuohua.
When the bald man arrived in front of Lee Zhuohua, he found that Lee Zhuohua still didn't have any reaction. He just sat there with his legs crossed, as if he was sleeping.
He was a little hesitant. He turned his head around and looked at his boss, but what he received was a glare from his boss.
Helplessly, the bald man reached out his hand to touch Lee Zhuohua. His heart was about to explode. He was really afraid that the person in front of him was a cultivator.
However, after he touched Lee Zhuohua, Lee Zhuohua still did not react. This time, a smile appeared on his face.
"Boss, it's fine." The bald man turned around and waved at his boss.
Seeing that the bald man was fine, Scarface and the group of bandits relaxed and walked towards Lee Zhuohua.
"Bring this man back. He looks like a rich man. When the time comes, find out who he is and ask his family to ransom him." Scarface looked at Lee Zhuohua and said.
Under his order, the bandits tied up Lee Zhuohua and brought him back to the stronghold with the previous caravan.
Lee Zhuohua was currently in a state of cultivation, so he did not know that he had been kidnapped by a group of bandits, and the reason why the Heavenly Faction did not wake him up was because he felt that these bandits would not be able to cause any danger to Lee Zhuohua.
After all, Lee Zhuohua was a Celestial Phenomenon cultivator, and these bandits were just a group of ordinary people. Even if Lee Zhuohua stood there and let them slash him with their knives, they wouldn't be able to harm a single hair on his head.
