“Indeed, they are not.”

Lu Zijia jumped down from the back of the golden pagoda. Seeing that the four people in front of her weren’t the people they were looking for, she wasn’t disappointed. Instead, she seemed to have expected this.

“Three mid-stage Golden Core and one late-stage Golden Core.”

Mu Tianyan walked to his wife and glanced at the four expressionless cultivators in black in front of him indifferently. “It seems that we’re treated as thorns in the side.”

Lu Zijia nodded helplessly. “Yeah, so should we be honored to be seen as a thorn in the side by the demonic cultivators, or should we feel unlucky and be targeted by them?”

“Demon… demonic cultivator?”

Du Yu, who had just jumped down, felt her legs go weak when she heard that and she almost sat on the yellow sand.

“Yeah, they’re demonic cultivators.”

Lu Zijia smiled slightly and continued, “The jade pendants of Xu Xiu and the others are with them. They deliberately used the jade pendants of Xu Xiu and the others to lure us here. That’s why they had never thought of waiting to meet up with us from the beginning.”

When she gave the jade pendant to Xu Xiu and the others, she said that she had to think of a way to meet up with them as soon as she sensed them.

However, when she and Ah Yan sensed the jade pendant of Xu Xiu and the others, their actions were completely opposite to their initial agreement.

There were two possibilities for such an abnormal situation for Xu Xiu and the others.

One, they were being held hostage and threatened.

Secondly, the jade pendant was no longer with Xu Xiu and the others.

And judging from the current situation, it was obviously the second possibility.

Thinking of this, Lu Zijia couldn’t help frowning slightly. The jade pendant that Xu Xiu and the others sensed was in the hands of the demonic cultivator, which meant that Xu Xiu and the others must have already fought against the demonic cultivators.

He wondered how their current situation was.

“This, this… Why? If they wanted to lure us into the desert, wouldn’t we have already entered the desert? Why would they continue to lure us to the center of the desert?”

Du Yu was so shocked that her eyes suddenly widened. As if she thought of something, her face instantly turned pale. “Could it be that there are other demonic cultivators lying in ambush here?”

“No, just the four of them.”

Lu Zijia answered very firmly, “And the reason why they lured us to the center of the desert is because they’re afraid that we’ll run away, right?”

Towards the end, Lu Zijia turned her head to look at the four demonic cultivators who were still silent, as if she was asking the four demonic cultivators, “Am I right?”

A demonic cultivator standing on the far right couldn’t help chuckling when he met Lu Zijia’s questioning gaze. He immediately raised his hand and clapped.

“No wonder Helian Qiguang was so afraid of you two. You could basically guess our goal with just some small details. I have to say that you’re quite capable.”

Lu Zijia seemed to really take what he said as a compliment and replied with a smile, “Thank you for the compliment.”

Seeing that Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan had no intention of being afraid of them at all, the demonic cultivators, who were already used to the panicked expressions of orthodox cultivators after knowing their identities, were a bit displeased in their minds.

“She’s indeed smart. Unfortunately, she’s too confident,” the first demonic cultivator said coldly again.

Lu Zijia shrugged indifferently. “Maybe.”

Seeing that Lu Zijia still didn’t care, the four demonic cultivators were furious.

After looking at each other, they suddenly attacked Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan

fiercely.

The four demonic cultivators seemed to want to deal with Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan in pairs, but when they were about to attack Lu Zijia and Mu Tianyan, two of the demonic cultivators suddenly entered the yellow sand and disappeared..
