Tian Lao and the others nodded solemnly, naturally not daring to defy Bai Hu's words. However, Lu Fan had flown into the sky, and no one knew where he had gone.
But one thing was certain: Lu Fan could not escape their grasp. As long as they were within the White Dragon Dynasty, the Eighth Prince's Mansion had eyes everywhere, and no one could hide.
Xuan Wu, moving with extreme speed, pursued the direction Lu Fan had taken, not daring to delay even for a moment. He knew very well that Lu Fan escaping would not be a good thing for him.
After all, this matter was not trivial. If Lu Fan truly escaped, he would likely have difficulty explaining himself.
However, Xuan Wu was not overly anxious. Although Lu Fan had guidance from a powerful individual, he was merely a soul. To help Lu Fan escape just now, his spiritual energy had been pushed to its absolute limit. It was likely that Lu Fan was now severely injured and could not have fled far.
Bai Hu and the others followed closely, appearing unhurried. They simultaneously ordered numerous guards to search. As long as any suspicious traces were found, they would not let them go easily.
Within the Bai family, the members wore serious expressions. Seeing the people from the Eighth Prince's Mansion leave, they finally felt relieved. However, Old Master Bai was filled with guilt, saying, "Young Brother Lu is a good person, but it's a pity my Bai family is too weak to help him through this crisis."
"Grandfather, it has come to this, there's no need to blame yourself."
Bai Ye Tian spoke, "If there were an opportunity, the Bai family would not stand idly by. It's just that the people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion are too formidable, beyond my ability to contend with!"
Old Master Bai nodded slightly, how could he not understand? His heart couldn't help but churn.
"However, Brother Lu has already left Tianxian City. As for where he has gone, it probably depends on his destiny." Bai Ye Tian frowned, "He is already severely injured. If he is discovered, it will surely bring him undeserved disaster."
"Why don't you go yourself!"
His gaze turned sharp, and Old Master Bai stated directly, "If there's a chance, bring him back. My Bai family owes him! It must eventually be repaid."
"Grandfather, things are probably not that simple."
Bai Ye Tian shook his head, "Rescuing him will not be an easy task either, as the people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion are not to be trifled with."
"Ye Tian, are you unwilling to go?" Old Master Bai asked in surprise.
"For the sake of the family, I cannot take this risk." Bai Ye Tian stated frankly, "We owe him, but to risk the entire family, I will never allow such a thing."
"But..." Old Master Bai frowned slightly, "If Bai Xue knew, she might hold a grudge."
"Let me bear all of this!" Su Dan Novel Network
Bai Ye Tian waved his hand, "After all, this matter is of great importance, concerning the life and death of the entire Bai family."
In fact, he was originally from Beihai Academy. If the people of the Eighth Prince's Mansion knew, they would certainly not let him off easily, and even the entire Bai family would suffer.
Within these few days, Xuan Wu had dispatched numerous experts to blockade the surrounding cities and mountain ranges, forbidding anyone from leaving easily. The reason he did this was to find Lu Fan.
Ever since Lu Fan had escaped with his last ounce of strength that night, he had been unable to find any trace of Ruo Fan. However, Xuan Wu was always quite arrogant in his actions. He must see the person, dead or alive. If he couldn't find anything, he wouldn't rest.
"Xuan Wu Divine Guard, all areas in the surrounding cities have been searched, and no suspicious traces have been found." An Ying said, cupping his fists. "I'm afraid that person is not in this area at all, or has already left. We might have been busy for nothing."
"This is absolutely impossible. When he made his move that night, he was already at the end of his rope. It was extremely difficult for him to escape my grasp, let alone succeed in escaping!" Xuan Wu stated directly, "Since he is alone, he must be within a thousand-mile radius."
"This thousand-mile radius has been under a no-fly zone for several days, yet no figure has been found."
Bai Hu spoke, "I'm afraid he has already fled. You bear the primary responsibility for this matter. After returning to the Eighth Prince's Mansion, I will definitely report this to Father Emperor."
"Young Master, why must you threaten me!"
Xuan Wu revealed a smile, "I never yield to threats. Since Young Master thinks so, I have nothing more to say. However, the forces brought by the Eighth Prince's Mansion cannot be dispersed, nor can they stop. I hope Young Master can understand."
"Xuan Wu, in your eyes, am I an insignificant existence?" Bai Hu said with a cold face, "Your tone when speaking to me is too harsh, completely disregarding me as the Young Master."
"Young Master, please don't misunderstand. I didn't mean that. Finding the person is the priority now." Xuan Wu said with a faint smile.
Seeing Xuan Wu turn and leave, Bai Hu became even more furious. Within the entire Eighth Prince's Mansion, no one dared to be so disrespectful to him. Only the Four Divine Guards did not take him seriously, which had long since filled him with dissatisfaction.
"Young Master, why must it be like this."
Tian Lao smiled and said, "The Four Divine Guards are loyal to the Prince, so naturally they will not take Young Master's words seriously."
"Too arrogant. Such people will eventually meet their end." Bai Hu said with a cold laugh.
"When Young Master controls the Royal City in the future, he will naturally obey obediently."
Tian Lao smiled and said, "So Young Master does not need to worry too much."
"Several days have passed, and there is still no news?"
Bai Hu spoke again, "How could that brat disappear without a trace? This matter is probably not simple."
"That brat has a powerful spiritual consciousness within his body, but that was also at the end of its strength. Under normal circumstances, he should not have fled too far," Tian Lao said.
"Continue searching. It would be best to find and eliminate him beforehand, to avoid unnecessary trouble."
With indifference in his expression, Bai Hu revealed a faint cold glint. At this point, there was nothing else they could do.
Xuan Wu stood in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the surroundings, still seeing no trace.
Helpless, Xuan Wu summoned several fierce beasts. These beasts were ones he had raised and could accurately identify scents. Perhaps they could find Lu Fan's whereabouts.
Following the tracks of the fierce beasts, Bai Hu suddenly stopped outside the peak of a mountain. His gaze fell upon the sword furnace on the mountain peak, his expression filled with slight shock. He had not expected there to be a sword furnace here. Most importantly, within this sword furnace, there was a faint, powerful aura.
The fierce beasts, ignoring everything else, moved towards the inside of the sword furnace. However, in that instant, a powerful sword intent emerged, causing the fierce beasts to halt abruptly. They dared not act presumptuously anymore, and even their nerves seemed to shrink.
Seeing the scene before him, Xuan Wu's expression changed. To possess such a powerful sword intent, even someone as strong as him felt a sense of reverence, and his heart was deeply touched.
"The Sword Furnace does not welcome outsiders. I ask you to please return!" A hoarse voice echoed around.
