Chapter 46: Chapter 46
Taking the Blood Jade Bead from his robes, Lowell tossed it into the air and executed his technique, activating the bead.
The Blood Jade Bead vibrated violently in mid-air and emitted a radiant light. It then flew around the grand hall, finally stopping right in front of Cecilia.
"Hahahaha! This Young Master’s fortune is truly as high as the heavens. I did not expect that right after arriving in Silver Willow, I would find the Innate Dao Body that was so hard to seek!"
Seeing the changes emitted by the Blood Jade Bead, even the usually calm and composed Lowell Ash could not help but look up to the sky and laugh loudly.
Vorin, seeing Lowell act like this, still had disbelief in his eyes.
"Third Brother, this... we found it just like that?"
"Is this not way too easy?"
Lowell’s eyes were full of confidence, and he said with absolute certainty. "Vorin, there is no mistake. This Blood Jade Bead contains Alister’s blood essence, and that Innate Dao Body carries his bloodline. When the bead senses the Innate Dao Body, it emits this radiant light."
Cecilia had her eyes squeezed shut. Suddenly, a bright light flashed before her.
Opening them, she saw a bead radiating brilliant light hovering right in front of her.
Hearing the conversation between those two, her face instantly turned ugly. She did not care whether she had an Innate Dao Body or not, but from the signs of Adam’s heavy worries earlier, she knew these people definitely harbored ill intentions toward her.
While Cecilia was deep in thought, Lowell had already teleported directly in front of her.
"This girl indeed bears some resemblance to Alister Ash." After seeing Cecilia’s appearance clearly, Lowell’s heart was even more certain.
"Truly worthy of being Alister’s daughter, her natural beauty is indeed peerless."
A flash of stunning amazement crossed Lowell’s eyes.
Seeing Lowell complete his task so easily, Allen’s face was also full of joy. "Congratulations, Young Master, on finding the Innate Dao Body so quickly. About those two Eternal Pine Pills..."
"Rest assured, Chief Eunuch Allen. After I return to the Supreme Void Secret Realm, I will definitely have the two Eternal Pine Pills delivered to the Silver Willow Imperial Palace."
With Lowell’s promise, Allen shut his mouth, quietly stepping back to the side to watch the proceedings in silence.
Having found the Innate Dao Body, Lowell was afraid that a long delay would bring trouble. He immediately instructed Vorin. "Vorin, quickly! Let us take this Innate Dao Body and rush back to the Supreme Void Secret Realm as fast as possible."
A divine light shot out from Lowell’s sleeve, sealing all the acupoints across Cecilia’s body.
Then, taking Cecilia with him, he flew into the air, hurrying toward the Heavenly Void Secret Realm.
...
Vernal Manor courtyard.
Today was a day off for officials, so Adam was cultivating at home.
As the spiritual energy circulated through its final major cycle, Adam had just opened his eyes when his expression changed drastically. A terrifying aura erupted from his body.
Just a moment ago, Adam sensed that Cecilia was continuously moving away from the capital at extremely fast speed.
Things were developing in the direction of his worst expectations. It seemed those two were indeed here for Cecilia.
Looking in the direction Cecilia was gradually disappearing, thick killing intent flashed in Adam’s eyes.
In the next moment, his body vanished from the Vernal Manor. Mobilizing his profound techniques, he flew continuously through the air, heading in the direction Cecilia was taken.
High in the sky, watching Lowell suddenly stop and stand still in mid-air, a trace of astonishment flashed in Vorin’s eyes.
"What is wrong, Third Brother? Why did you suddenly stop?"
Lowell’s face was solemn. He did not look at Vorin, but kept his gaze fixed on the horizon. "A powerful aura is rapidly flying this way. I do not know if it is friendly or hostile."
"Vorin, the Innate Dao Body concerns the rise and fall of our clan, and this matter is of utmost importance."
"To avoid any accidents, you take the Innate Dao Body and hide first. Once I deal with this unknown visitor, we will return to the Supreme Void Secret Realm."
"Yes, Third Brother."
Vorin knew there could not be the slightest mishap. Without hesitating, he took Cecilia and flew downward, finding a secluded spot to hide.
Seeing that Vorin had hidden properly, the heavy stone in Lowell’s heart was finally set down. He cast his gaze once more toward the distant horizon, where a dark silhouette was rapidly rushing over.
...
After leaving the Vernal Manor, Adam did not conceal his aura. Flying through the air at full speed, he finally caught up to Lowell and his companion.
Sensing the location of the sword talismans, Adam breathed a slight sigh of relief. Although he did not see any trace of Cecilia, he could sense that the talismans were not far from his location.
As long as he took care of the person before him, he could take Cecilia away.
Adam’s gaze locked onto Lowell Ash, his eyes brimming with killing intent, as if he were looking at a dead man.
"I am Lowell Ash of the Ancient Ash Clan. May I ask which Ancient Clan Your Excellency hails from?"
"Who exactly are you? You and I have no grievances or enmity. Are you truly intent on offending the Ancient Ash Clan?"
Feeling the terrifying aura exuding from Adam, Lowell’s eyes were full of solemnity.
Seeing how young he was, he mistakenly assumed Adam was a hidden, peerless Heaven’s Chosen from another clan.
Thus, he declared his origins, hoping to make this young Heaven’s Chosen back down.
Although the Ancient Ash Clan was not a top-tier ancient clan in the Eastern Continent, it was still highly renowned.
Unless it was a disciple from a truly top-tier clan, any other ancient clan disciple would give them face upon hearing their name.
"The Ancient Ash Clan? Never heard of it."
"By taking Cecilia away, you have already chosen the path of death."
"A mere dead body is not worthy of knowing my honorable name."
There was not a shred of emotion in Adam’s words, and his gaze was full of disdain. Circulating his internal techniques, his aura firmly locked onto Lowell Ash.
Perceiving the hint of disdain revealed in the other party’s gaze, Lowell flew into a thunderous rage.
