Talent level increased by one, a transcendent Star Wizard

After running around for half a day, Xia Jian finally saw some pedestrians, but he still couldn't find Leia and the others.

However, several signs of a fight were found along the way.

Judging from the burn marks, they were all made recently, and are most likely clues left by Leia and others.

But Xia Jian felt something was strange. After arriving here, the signs of the fight disappeared, and there were no corpses. Could it be that Leia and the others had been captured?

This is good news, at least it means they should still be alive.

Summer continued onward, asking some passersby for directions, but did not obtain any useful information.

If you continue forward, you will reach the territory of the Lieyang Sect.

The fact that the Blazing Sun Sect belongs to the Black Witch faction is not good news for Xia Jian.

Especially since Leia and others are weak, if they encounter people from the Lieyang Sect, they might be forced to join their forces.

…………

The Lieyang Sect is located atop a volcano.

The entire mountain is covered with strangely shaped rocks and is located in a Gobi Desert area, in a treacherous location.

Xia Jian searched the area for a whole day but still couldn't find any trace of Leia and the others, which made him increasingly frustrated.

Having no other option, Xia Jian went to the vicinity of the Lieyang Sect and randomly grabbed a wizard apprentice, hoping to get some useful information from him.

"My lord, spare my life! I have an elderly mother who is over a hundred years old, and children to care for..."

Feeling the terrifying pressure from Xia Jian, the captured apprentices immediately knelt down and begged for mercy.

"Alright, I just wanted to ask you something. You can leave in a bit."

Xia Jian waved his hand impatiently and said.

Why not just answer honestly? Why make such a fuss? Does he really look like a bad guy?

"Well, please ask, sir. I'll answer everything I know!"

Upon hearing that they didn't intend to kill him, the captured apprentice immediately quieted down, even relaxing his expression somewhat.

Of course, the main reason is that we had no other choice.

If captured by such a high-level wizard, there's no way to escape on your own. You can only hope that the wizards of the Blazing Sun Sect will find you, so that you might have a chance to escape.

However, the chances seem slim, after all, he's just an apprentice...

Next, Natsume asked if two men and two women had passed by recently.

If there's no news even here, then Leia and the others might not have taken this route.

When the apprentice heard Xia Jian's question, he suddenly remembered that there seemed to be fighting nearby last night, and then he saw several wizards go out from inside the door.

Since it wasn't his business, he didn't pay much attention to it.

"What do you know?"

Seeing that the apprentice's expression was off, Xia Jian frowned and asked.

Under Xia Jian's oppressive presence, the apprentice had no choice but to obediently recount what had happened the previous night.

Upon hearing this, Xia Jian fell into deep thought. Could it be that he had really been captured by the Lieyang Sect?

But now he is no longer the apprentice wizard he once was, and the energy fluctuations within his body cannot be hidden from the detection arrays of these forces.

Needless to say, his own concealment technique is fine for everyday use, but it's far from enough to evade the array's detection.

Moreover, he was currently unaware of the situation, and if he rashly rushed in, he wasn't confident he could escape unscathed.

Thinking of this, Xia Jian used telekinesis to stun the apprentice wizard, then found a place to ambush and captured several more apprentices for questioning.

However, the answers were all pretty much the same.

As apprentices, they were all low-level employees, and unless the sect was attacked, not many people would pay attention to this matter.

"Someone, go check over there! Why hasn't that brat Helian returned yet!"

Just as Xia Jian was troubled, a deep male voice suddenly rang in her ears.

Xia Jian raised an eyebrow slightly, his body was swallowed by darkness, and then he appeared near the person who had spoken.

A male wizard was seen directing several apprentices, seemingly searching for someone, perhaps one of the apprentices Xia Jian had captured.

"A first-tier wizard..."

Sensing the opponent's strength, Xia Jian no longer waited.

Now that Leia has disappeared, he needs to get some useful information from here.

As the man waited in place, the shadow behind him slowly moved, and then several black arms emerged from it.

The wizard seemed to sense something was wrong, but before he could do anything, a black arm wrapped around him and dragged him into the darkness.

Summer might not be able to defeat a third-tier wizard, and a second-tier wizard might be evenly matched, but dealing with a first-tier wizard would be no different from capturing a chick.

…………

Soon the first-tier wizard was abducted to the place where Xia Jian was hiding.

"Who are you! Aren't you afraid of offending the Blazing Sun Sect?!"

As soon as he released his mouth from being covered, the first-level wizard roared at Xia Jian.

It seemed to have a preemptive strike, almost making Natsumi laugh.

After all, he has offended quite a few people, and now the entire southern part of the Southern Alliance is probably after him. Why would he be afraid of a Lieyang Sect member who is only a fourth-level wizard?

Xia Jian didn't say anything, but raised his hand and sent the first-tier wizard flying with a Shadow Ball.

The first-tier wizard clutched his chest, unable to hold back a mouthful of blood, and even the look in his eyes as he looked at Xia Jian carried a hint of fear.

Looking back now, those who dared to kidnap people at the entrance of the Lieyang Sect either had powerful backers or were extremely strong themselves.

Regardless of which category the opponent belongs to, their current strength far surpasses his.

"Now I'm asking you this, but let me make it clear beforehand: I don't have much patience, so you'd better be sensible."

Xia Jian picked at his ear and said somewhat impatiently, then asked about what happened last night.

Upon hearing Xia Jian ask this question, the first-level wizard immediately assumed that Xia Jian was an enemy of the four people.

"It's not my fault. Elder Willie insisted on saving them," the first-tier wizard hurriedly replied.

But Xia Jian was completely confused when she heard this.

What do you mean by saving them?

It was only after Xia Jian inquired that he learned that Elder Willie of the Blazing Sun Sect and one of the wizards who appeared last night were sworn enemies.

When they saw the four being chased, their enemies invaded their territory, which prompted Elder Willie of the Blazing Sun Sect to intervene.

Although they didn't kill the enemy out of consideration for their powerful backers, they managed to repel them and save the four people.

After hearing this, Xia Jian didn't know what to say.

It turns out that someone else saved Leia and the others.

However, since the other party is a dark wizarding force, and Leia and the others are so talented, it is feared that the Lieyang Sect will not be willing to return Leia and the others.

Looking at the trembling first-tier wizard, Xia Jian's eyes flickered slightly, and a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you so much. The people you rescued were our companions. We were on our way to Chongguang Holy Land to find our relatives."

Upon hearing Xia Jian's words, the first-tier wizard unconsciously widened his eyes.

What do you mean by going to the Holy Land of Chongguang to find relatives? Is that a place that ordinary wizards can go?

He had previously heard Elder Willie say he was going to take on a disciple. What if the disciple really had connections with the Sogo Holy Land?
