Seekers Without Bounds

The Shura Palace's Thunder-Inducing Flying Boat was much faster than the Earth Warriors. Qu Qianchuan and his party had already reached the Luoyun Mountains, not far from the Stone Peak. Zhong Sanchu released the female golden-feathered eagle and began to explore the surrounding area.

"Qianchuan, you're right, the golden-winged eagle, this flat-haired beast, can do the same. Male and female are attracted to each other. If the male dies, the female can be released to look for it." Mo Chao said.

"So what if we find it? A useless flat-haired beast. A small thunderstorm can take it away." Qu Qianchuan said, looking at Master Zhong Sanchu and his apprentice not far away.

"The Golden Feathered Eagle is the foundation of their Golden Master's career in my Shura Palace. Zhong Sanchu knows this very well, but unfortunately his ability is limited. I'm afraid he can't cultivate a Golden Phoenix. Something happened to the stupid bird, and we have to follow him to this barren place." Mo Chao complained.

Swish, a flash of purple lightning appeared, and it was Yun Zixiao from the Secret Affairs Hall who came.

"Brother Qianchuan, I just checked the thunderstorm in Luoyun, and found something wrong. Logically, the Luoyun Mountains should be full of ordinary thunder, without spiritual properties. But the closer we get to the peaks ahead, the more spiritual fluctuations there are caused by lightning, and there are traces of artificial erasure. The lightning spiritual disk shows that the lightning fluctuations here last for a long time." Yun Zixiao knew that this matter was very serious, and transmitted the sound to Qu Qianchuan's ears.

Qu Qianchuan's face changed slightly, but he did not say anything. He signaled Yun Zixiao to go with him to the Stone Peak in front for further investigation.

"Old Mo, you take care of it here. I'll go with Zixiao and be back soon." Mo Chao wanted to ask a few more questions, but Qu Qianchuan and Yun Zixiao had already gone away in a flash.

Looking back again, Master Zhong Sanchu and his apprentice were no longer there.

On Shitou Peak, Qu Qianchuan and Yun Zixiao stood on the top of the peak. Their lightning spiritual power was activated and they could clearly feel the fluctuations of the thunderstorm. Although it was very weak, it was very special.

This is the fluctuation of lightning-induced spiritual power caused by Feiying's cultivation of the Lightning Essence. Qu Fan can dissipate his own spiritual power fluctuations.

However, it was unable to completely dispel the fluctuations left by Feiying's long-term practice.

Qu Qianchuan frowned, and the two were speechless for a moment. At this moment, a crisp eagle cry was heard, and Zhong Sanchu's golden-feathered eagle also reached the top of the stone peak.

"Zixiao, go inform Mo Chao and the others to start the search with Shitou Peak as the center. There's no need to search other places," Qu Qianchuan said.

"Okay." Yun Zixiao wanted to say a few more words, but after looking at Qu Qianchuan's expression, he said nothing more.

At this moment, Qu Qianchuan's heart was already exploding. The thunder-inducing warriors of the independent cultivators had created a huge loophole for the Shura Palace.

The Thunder Warrior is a unique warrior type in Jingguo, and it is never passed on to others. Who could this casual cultivator be?

"Did he not die that year? The Ten-Colored Clouds is the Holy Fire's city-burning killing move. How could he survive?"

In Shifeng Village, Goudan's father was chasing him, but suddenly found it difficult to catch up with him. Since Goudan recovered from his injury, he felt that his body was lighter and he could run very fast.

He can jump very far with just a little effort. In the past, his father would beat him like a chicken, but now, let alone catch him, I can't even touch the corner of his clothes.

Qu Fan and Liu Xinzhu have already packed everything and are ready to leave at any time.

Liu Xinzhu sang her childhood songs to Feiyan and Feiying in the room, asking them to go to bed early tonight, because they would leave Stone Village early tomorrow morning.

Qu Fan stood in the courtyard and looked around. Shifeng Village was the place where they had stayed the longest. Now they were about to leave. He just hoped that they would have a smooth journey and would not encounter any troubles.

"The children should go to sleep," Qu Fan said.

"They are all asleep." Liu Xinzhu said

"We have been wandering around all these years, and you and the children have suffered a lot." Qu Fan blamed himself.

"No, we are happy wherever you are with us."

"Look, the moon is so round tonight, so beautiful," Liu Xinzhu said while holding Qu Fan's hand.

Qu Fan held Liu Xinzhu in his arms. The bright moonlight spread across the yard and shone on the two of them. It was a peaceful and beautiful scene.

"Let's go to bed early too, as we have to get up before dawn tomorrow," Qu Fan said.

"Brother Qianchuan, I know you look down on us, the defected Jin Masters. But please don't doubt our loyalty. Now that we have joined Shura Palace, we must be loyal to the Palace Master and to Jingguo." Zhong Sanchu also came to Shitou Peak and said solemnly.

"Hehe, why do you say that, Brother Sanchu? I have never doubted my loyalty to you." Qu Qianchuan laughed.

"Zhong always speaks with facts. If I encounter a Lei Yin cultivator, I am willing to fight. I hope Brother Qu can help me." Zhong Sanchu still wanted to prove himself in front of Qu Qianchuan.

"It is not confirmed whether he is a casual cultivator or not. If so, it is a shame for our Shura Palace. According to the Shura Palace's rules, anyone who betrays us shall be punished." Qu Qianchuan spoke word by word, showing his anger towards the traitor.

Just as Zhong Sanchu was about to say something, he heard a clear eagle cry in the sky, and the Golden-winged Eagle had discovered something.

After a deceleration, the Golden Feathered Eagle landed in front of Zhong Sanchu, followed by his apprentice, Zhong Shaobin: "Master, the Eagle has searched the surrounding area. The scattered cultivator Thunder Inducing Warrior is probably in a small village ahead."

"Okay, let's go and see what's going on." Qu Qianchuan's eyes flashed. Qu Qianchuan was probably the one who hated rebels the most in Shura Palace.

In Shifeng Village, Goudan was looking at the moon in the sky from the rooftop and was sighing, "The moon is so round tonight."

Goudan has had a lot of doubts recently. After being healed by Master Qu's family, he seems to have become significantly different, but he can't tell exactly what is different.

What is clear is that I can run faster and jump farther than before. The night wind is always refreshing and comfortable, but I don't know when a large dark cloud floated over and blocked the bright moonlight.

Qu Qianchuan, along with the people from Shura Palace and the border army warriors, have arrived at Shifeng Village.

As soon as they stepped into the vicinity of Shifeng Village, Liu Xinzhu woke up in shock, and Qu Fan also woke up with him.

"Someone is coming," Liu Xinzhu said.

"Wake up the children, you take them and hide first, I'll go see who is here." Qu Fan said.

"If we want to go, let's go together. Without you, it will be hard for the three of us to leave." Liu Xinzhu felt more and more uneasy. Qu Fan did not say anything more, saying that he would protect his wife and children even if it meant his life was shattered into pieces.

Qu Qianchuan and his party have entered Shitou Village. The border army's earth warriors have dispersed to the surrounding areas of the village and have vaguely surrounded Shifeng Village.

The Thunderbolt Flying Boat was already hovering over Shifeng Village. Mo Chao lit the hanging lantern on the Thunderbolt Flying Boat.

Suddenly, Shifeng Village was as bright as day. All the villagers woke up, and they were all surprised and rushed out to check.

Seeing this, the village chief ran over to inquire, and watched the earth warrior on horseback kneel down and kowtow unconsciously.

"Who is the village chief among you?" Han Wenyuan asked.

"I am, generals. I don't know why you come to Shifeng Village...why...what's the matter?" The village chief had never seen such a scene before, and his words became stammering.

"Are there any strangers in the village?" Han Wenyuan asked. The other Earth Knights had already started to search every house.

"General, we are all born and raised here in this village. We have never...left the Stone Mountain." The village chief replied.

"Gather all the villagers and check every household," Han Wenyuan said.

The adults in the village had never seen such a scene and were trembling with fear. The children were suddenly amazed to see the Earth Warrior, the Thunder Warrior, and the Gold Master with a golden hat in the mouth of the flying eagle.

Goudan’s father drank too much and fell into a deep sleep. No matter how noisy it was outside, he couldn’t be disturbed.

Goudan, who was on the roof, looked at the bright lights on Lei Yin's flying boat and the earth warriors entering the village, and quickly came down from the roof to find a place to hide.

Qu Fan and his family left very quickly without alerting the surrounding Earth Warriors, and they escaped the first layer of encirclement safely.

"Dad, Mom, where are we going? Are those people here to look for us?" Feiying finally asked after holding it in for a long time.

"Mom and Dad will take you to see the sea," said Liu Xinzhu.

Qu Fan was driving a specially made mine boat at a very fast speed. A purple lightning flashed through, and a figure appeared, blocking them. Qu Fan braked suddenly and stopped.

"Brother Leting, we haven't seen each other for more than ten years. You didn't even say hello. Are you in a hurry to leave?" (Qu Fan's original name was Qu Leting) The one who came was Yun Zixiao.

"It's better to miss each other than to meet. If Junior Brother Yun can let my family leave, Qu Leting will be very grateful. I don't want to fight against my own family." Qu Fan said.

"Brother Leting, as long as you can return to Shura Palace with me, I will plead for mercy and forgiveness for you in front of the Palace Master. Shura Palace will also make proper arrangements for my sister-in-law and the children when they return," said Yun Zixiao.

"Zixiao, my fate with Shura Palace has ended, and I have no wish to fight against my former brothers with swords." Qu Fan said.

"Oh, it seems that Senior Brother Leting is still going to rebel against Shura Palace. You should know that anyone who rebels against Shura Palace will be killed if they meet him." Before he finished speaking, purple lightning struck.
