He took out a cyan compass, which spun continuously before finally pointing in a certain direction.

Zhu Zhengran's expression hardened as he looked towards a mountain peak below, where a one-armed Daoren slowly emerged from a cave.

Upon seeing the man's face clearly, Zhu Zhengran suddenly clapped his hands and burst into laughter.

"I've searched high and low for it, only to stumble upon it effortlessly!"

He never expected that this 'Wu Daoren', who had used a life-risking escape Spell and should have died from the backlash of the secret technique, had actually survived.

Even more unexpectedly, he had encountered him by a twist of fate.

Was this the will of Heaven?

He had already given up and hadn't even thought about the matter, but fate had favored him once again.

If one were to ask why the compass reacted to this person, it would be necessary to mention the Cultivation Technique, 'Blood Origin Bloodburst Technique', that he had traded in the black market earlier.

Following the principle of not earning for nothing, he also engaged in a secret technique transaction with this person.

At the same time, to facilitate tracking this person, he secretly left a faint, almost imperceptible imprint in the Jade Slip.

As long as one's Divine Thought was not too powerful, or if one was not a major Realm higher.

Without careful inspection, generally, no problems would be found.

Afterward, he only needed to activate the compass to detect his whereabouts within a certain distance.

However, if the distance exceeded ten li, the sensing would be lost.

He had only done it casually, merely setting up a small trick as a backup, and hadn't taken it too seriously.

Because originally, they had planned to forcefully keep this person based on their strength.

But they didn't expect this person to be so decisive, practically not caring about his own life.

Under that extreme escape Spell, they couldn't even see the other party's back.

The distance between them grew further and further, eventually disappearing from sight.

Trying to track him with the compass again became an empty talk.

Now, several months later, the faint imprint left on his Jade Slip had gradually faded with the passage of time.

Only at such a close distance did it trigger the compass's sensing, thus detecting this person's whereabouts.

But it was truly like a pie falling from the sky.

This time, no matter what, he couldn't let this person go again!

Lu Ming looked at Zhu Zhengran's excited expression in mid-air, somewhat puzzled.

Was seeing him make him so happy?

Anyone unaware would think he was the other party's long-lost brother.

However, he didn't care what the other party thought.

He had just watched a good show.

He didn't expect that the other party, with his immortal-like demeanor, was also a Fellow Daoist.

In fact, back in the black market, he had already identified Zhu Zhengran through the Sensing Technique.

But he didn't expect his true identity to be a Cultivator of the Qingxuan Sect.

Heh, this was too strange.

Someone from the Qingxuan Sect also moonlighting as a Demonic Cultivator, truly an eye-opener.

However, Lu Ming despised such people the most, claiming to be righteous but engaging in demonic acts.

Isn't this just like him?

How could this be allowed!

At this moment, the female Cultivator on the ground also noticed Lu Ming's presence.

Although she didn't know why this person was here, seeing Zhu Zhengran's expression, it was clear that the two knew each other.

However, they probably weren't on the same side, so she might be able to use him.

If it were in the past, she wouldn't have dragged an innocent person into this mess.

But this was a different time; if this person hadn't appeared just now, she estimated Zhu Zhengran would have truly struck a killing blow.

This made her not only angry but also more terrified.

Under the shadow of death, she couldn't care about so much anymore.

Moreover, this person was at the Foundation Establishment Early Stage; although not Zhu Zhengran's opponent, he should be able to buy her time to escape.

May the Fellow Daoist die, not the poor Daoist!

She rolled her eyes, as if she had made up her mind, and with great difficulty, activated her magical power to fly towards Lu Ming.

She shouted as she flew.

"Fellow Daoist, this humble one, Su Yanran, is a Cultivator of the Qingxuan Sect. Please, Fellow Daoist, lend a helping hand and jointly eliminate this demon!"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation, combined with her exquisite face, and a touch of heroism amidst her fragility.

If it were an ordinary person, to gain the Fairy's favor and get close to her, they might have genuinely been unable to resist helping.

However, Zhu Zhengran in the air did not stop her, watching the scene with interest.

As Su Yanran flew towards Lu Ming, she kept an eye on Zhu Zhengran's movements.

Seeing that the other party did not stop her, she felt a little relieved.

Without thinking further, Su Yanran quickly arrived in front of Lu Ming.

"Fellow Daoist..."

However, before she could finish speaking, what answered her was a dazzling thunder palm.

Bang!

Lu Ming activated 'Yin Sha Secret Thunder' and slapped her with a backhand.

Su Yanran was already severely injured; how could she withstand such an attack?

Her exquisite face first froze, then exploded with a bang.

Red and white matter was annihilated by the scattered lightning before it could even fall on Lu Ming.

Thump!

Su Yanran's headless corpse fell to the ground.

This scene happened too quickly; even Zhu Zhengran, who was planning to watch a good show, was stunned.

"Tsk tsk, Fellow Daoist is truly ruthless, merciless. Such a great beauty, if she wasn't a Junior Sister from the same Sect, I would have made a move myself."

A moment later, Zhu Zhengran made tsk-tsk sounds, his eyes filled with mockery.

"However... Fellow Daoist seems to have caused trouble!"

As soon as Zhu Zhengran's words fell.

A sudden change occurred in the field!

Whoosh—

A crimson magical seal suddenly flew out from Su Yanran's headless corpse.

Then, the crimson magical seal disintegrated in the air, transforming into two streams of light.

One swiftly fled into the distance, while the other, with lightning speed, submerged into Lu Ming's body.

"This is..."

Lu Ming was startled and quickly looked within himself, but found no abnormality.

"Not a Spell?"

Immediately, Lu Ming circulated his magical power and finally captured a wisp of crimson thread, like a swimming Dragon, burrowing into the depths of his Divine Soul.

"Clap clap clap..."

Zhu Zhengran suddenly clapped his hands and laughed loudly at this scene.

"Fellow Daoist is truly eager to help. Not only did he deliver himself to me, but he also resolved a future problem for me. Truly righteous!"

These words were full of sarcasm and mockery.

"Let me tell you, this is my Qingxuan Sect's secret Spell, the 'Soul Chasing Curse'. Once a Disciple of the Sect dies, the Sect will track down the murderer based on this curse."

"You... have nowhere to run!"

This 'Soul Chasing Curse' was a unique secret Spell of the Qingxuan Sect, but it didn't mean that other Golden Core forces didn't have similar ones.

It was just that the forms of expression of various methods differed, but their functions were the same.

This was also a guarantee for Disciples traveling outside.

It could make enemies hesitate at crucial moments, not daring to strike a fatal blow.

And once the other party killed a Disciple carrying the 'Soul Chasing Curse'.

The 'Soul Chasing Curse' would be activated, and the curse would split into two.

One part would record the surrounding scene, the murderer's face, and magical Qi aura.

The other part would attach itself to the opponent's Divine Soul, submerging, forming a function similar to a 'tracker'.
