Chapter 229 229: Desire to bring
"If they were, do you think I would've been in this world? I would've long left," Xu Shan answered as he calmly looked into the distance. "Even with his suppressed aura, if I had stayed in the town, I'm certain they would've noticed me. But from this distance, it is harder, especially since I'm not their target."
"If you're not their target, then..." Xin looked at the location where these Immortal Warriors had appeared. "They're after the girl?"
She added, "Isn't this for the best? If they kill the girl, it would be easy for us to take the boy."
"You're too optimistic. Why would you think they're that girl's enemy? I don't sense any killing intent from them. It's more likely that they're Warriors of her family. This just confirms my assumption. She's from the Land of Immortals. What a headache..."
Xu Shan scratched the back of his head, feeling frustrated.
The Celestial Warriors, after observing the surroundings, turned their attention to the Town. They were able to locate a particular aura that they had sensed when coming here.
All of them landed in the town, right before Lin Mei.
All the Martial Alliance Members subconsciously dropped to their knees, suppressed by the pressure. Other than the woman, only Yan Xu remained standing, albeit barely. Even he struggled under pressure.
Lin Mei spread out her aura, covering Yan Xu to free him from the pressure.
"We finally found you." One of the Celestial Warriors spoke, looking at the young woman.
"How did you find me?" Lin Mei asked, her expressions dark. "Did my brother also know where I am?"
"We were searching for you on Patriarch's instructions when we sensed your aura. We arrived here as soon as we sensed it. Do you have any idea how worried your father has been about you?" The Celestial Warrior asked.
Although the woman held a high position in the clan, he talked to her in an equal manner, his position similar.
"I asked you a question. Was my brother with you?" Lin Mei asked, her expressions darkening. "Does he know I'm here?"
"The young Lord wasn't with us. He hadn't been home in quite some time," the Celestial Warrior spoke, his expressions still like that of a block of stone. "However, it doesn't matter. Patriarch's instructions are absolute. We are to bring you back home."
"He hadn't been home? Where did he go?" The woman asked, her expressions shifting.
From as long as she knew, her half brother had never left their hope. Even his teaching and training was all done at home. Despite that, he had surpassed many geniuses in the Land of Immortal.
This was also why she felt confident enough in escaping, because she was certain her brother was never going to chase after her.
Hearing that he had left, she wondered if he had come after her. But if that was the case, he should've been here. She was sure that if her brother was personally searching for her, he would've been here faster.
It convinced her that her brother had a different reason. Unfortunately, that reason eluded her.
"I'm afraid only the Patriarch knows. If you want an answer, that's one more reason for you to come back," the Celestial Warrior spoke.
Lin Mei glanced at Yan Xu. She couldn't refuse even if she wanted to. Now that the Celestial Warriors had located her, it was impossible for her to escape. And if she tried, they could kill Yan Xu. She didn't want to risk it. Moreover, she was truly curious about her hateful brother's whereabouts.
"I will return with you," she agreed. "But I have one condition. I'll bring a few people back with me."
The Celestial Warriors didn't react much. He simply glanced at Yan Xu. "We can't take anyone else back with us, especially someone lowly from this world."
"In that case, I won't come with you either. Either you listen to me, or you fight me!" Lin Mei aimed her sword at the Celestia Warriors, knowing that they were never going to actually hurt them.
The Celestial Warriors frowned. They could force the girl, but if she was to get hurt in the process, it was troublesome for them as well.
They tried to convince Lin Mei but when she didn't agree, they were left with no choice but to agree.
"Understandable. We'll take your servant with us."
Yan Xu's lips twitched, hearing him be addressed as a servant. However, he knew his limits and kept his head down.
It was only in his mind that he was cursing them while remembering how their lady was under this 'servant' not long ago.
Lin Mei smiled. "See, that wasn't so difficult, was it? However, there's one more person I'll be taking back."
She focused on the Martial Alliance Leader. "Senior, as you can see, I'm not from this lower world. My home is in this Land of Immortals. I've only been here to gain some experience."
"Land of Immortals?" Martial Alliance Leader asked, his face turning white. If he thought that the Divine Realm was scary, then the Land of Immortals was a completely unreachable existence.
One could only enter the world after becoming immortal. Even the Leader of the Divine World dreamed of going there but she wanted strong enough yet.
The Martial Alliance Leader had never felt so insignificant. He lowered his head even further.
"You don't have to lower your head. While I was here, I saw your daughter. And I believe she has some real talent. If she comes with me, her talents would flourish with my help. One day, she would be able to become even stronger than the Celestial Warriors you see around me.'
"That day, no invaders would even dare to attack this world. So would you allow her to come with us? I would feel very bad to see her talents getting wasted here."
Lin Mei knew that because of her people finding her, the plans of Yan Xu were spoiled. She couldn't waste this girl. She had to bring her with him so Yan Xu could complete what he started.
