After reading his own information, especially the recent opportunities, Xiao Ming was slightly stunned.

Recent opportunities: In the near future, there is hope of saving the daughter of the Lord of Lingxiao City, Li Jianshi, and possibly entering the Grotto-Heaven Fire Domain.

"I haven't even snatched Lin Feng's opportunity yet, and now this opportunity has become mine?" Xiao Ming was pleasantly surprised, but also somewhat puzzled.

When he snatched opportunities before, this kind of thing would not appear on his attribute board.

Without thinking, this kind of thing must have been influenced by his purple Luck. After all, his purple Luck is quite powerful and can spontaneously give birth to his own unique opportunities.

Thinking like this, Xiao Ming closed his eyes again.

There were only two things he needed to do now. First, stabilize his own realm. Second, wait for Li Jianshi to come to him!

Time passed slowly.

Another day passed.

On this day, the originally quiet Purple Bamboo Forest suddenly became restless.

A group of injured warriors in tattered clothes fled from a distance and entered the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Each of these warriors had a strong aura, but at this moment, they were in tatters, their hair disheveled, and some of them were even seriously injured, on the verge of death.

Among this group of warriors, the strongest were two people, an old man in white clothes and a pure-looking girl in a green dress.

The girl in the green dress was Li Jianshi, the only daughter of the Lord of Lingxiao City!

Li Jianshi's realm was not low, reaching the peak of the Divine Sea realm, one level higher than Xiao Ming's realm. However, at this moment, she was also slightly injured, with disheveled hair and dirt on her fair face.

"He Lao, everyone is in bad shape. Let's rest in this bamboo forest for a while," Li Jianshi couldn't help but say as she looked at her guards.

The old man in white clothes, known as He Lao, wanted to refute, but when he saw that the guards were all covered in injuries, he had to nod.

"Everyone quickly take the pills to restore your strength. Those thieves are chasing us urgently, we can't waste too much time here!" He Lao looked around and said in a deep voice.

"He Lao, don't worry, we understand!" The captain of the guards quickly said.

After speaking, everyone dispersed. Some formed a scattered formation to protect Li Jianshi, while others quickly took the pills.

Li Jianshi also took a pill and, after recovering slightly, couldn't help but ask, "He Lao, did you see the origin of those thieves who attacked us?"

"I'm useless and didn't see clearly," He Lao said with embarrassment, then continued, "But I can probably guess where they came from."

"Who are they?" Li Jianshi asked quickly.

"Those thieves are not from Ziguang City, they must be from Luori City," He Lao said, "Miss, think about it, the only two cities that dare to attack us and have grievances with us are these two."

"That makes sense..." Li Jianshi sighed.

For many years, Lingxiao City had been at odds with the other two cities. In order to compete for interests, the three major cities often clashed.

Incidents like today were not uncommon, with the three major cities constantly stabbing each other in the back.

However, this time, it was Li Jianshi who became the victim.

At this moment, He Lao said again, "Ziguang City's strength is average, and they are a bit hesitant in their actions. Today's incident doesn't seem like something they would do."

"On the other hand, those thieves are quite powerful. They know that you are the only daughter of the city lord and still want to capture you alive. From this, it is highly likely that they are from Luori City."

"Only Luori City, with its strong power, would dare to defy the anger of the city lord!"

"Luori City..." Li Jianshi murmured, a hint of fear arising in her heart.

If it was indeed people from Luori City attacking her, then trouble would be brewing!

The Sunset City is the most powerful force among the three major cities, recognized as the leader among them!

What's even more important is that the people of Sunset City are ruthless and do not care about the consequences of their actions. Once someone falls into their hands, they would probably be better off dead!

At that time, not only would her own father be threatened by Sunset City, but her own innocence would also be tarnished.

Thinking of this, Li Jianshi couldn't help but tremble.

She was a martial artist in the later stage of the Divine Sea realm, and her strength was not weak. However, as a woman, she valued her innocence greatly.

"Elder He, we can't rest anymore. Let's hurry back to the city!" Li Jianshi said anxiously.

"The old servant also thinks so," Elder He nodded, then turned his head and said, "Everyone, pull yourselves together and quickly return to the city. As long as we enter the influence range of Lingxiao City, we will be safe!"

Upon hearing this, the guards all stood up and prepared to escort Li Jianshi towards the city.

Just at that moment.

"Hahaha! You can't escape!"

A wild laughter suddenly resounded from the distant sky.

The sound rolled like a storm, rapidly approaching.

Upon hearing this wild laughter, Li Jianshi and the others turned pale and instinctively looked towards the source.

They saw a huge wooden ship appearing on the distant horizon. The ship was covered in various formations, causing illusory wings to appear on both sides of the hull.

At the sight of the ship, Li Jianshi and the others' faces instantly turned extremely pale.

"This is bad! These bandits are chasing after us!"

"What do we do? What do we do?!"

"Protect Miss!"

Li Jianshi's guards panicked.

"These people came so fast!" Elder He gritted his teeth and said, then he instructed the people behind him, "You protect Miss and leave quickly. I will hold them off!"

After speaking, Elder He let out a low shout, and suddenly, a powerful aura surged out from his body.

This aura had reached the half-step Qi Controlling Realm!

Elder He was a half-step Qi Controlling Realm expert, even more formidable than Li Changfeng, the former Sect Master of Spirit Sword Gate!

"Elder He, we're all leaving. What about you?" Li Jianshi couldn't help but ask.

"Don't worry about me. Their target is you, Miss. As long as you return safely, they will have to give up," Elder He said anxiously.

"Now is not the time to consider pros and cons. Miss, please leave quickly. I have my own way to escape!"

"Alright... Elder He, please be careful!" Li Jianshi said worriedly, then she was protected by the guards and quickly left.

At this moment.

On the distant ship, the pair of wings formed by formations gently flapped, and the huge ship swiftly flew over.

In just seven or eight breaths, the ship arrived in the sky above Elder He's head.

However, the ship did not stop, but continued to fly forward, targeting Li Jianshi and the others who had just left.

Seeing this scene, Elder He became furious. He immediately drew his long knife from his waist and fiercely slashed towards the ship above his head.

Swish!

A bright blade light shot up from the ground, directly towards the formation ship in the sky.

"Damn thieves, if you want to catch Miss, you have to get past me first!"
