Family Cultivation: I Farm and Raise Fish under the Sea-Chapter 474 - 261: Siege on Ding Hongyu!

"Mr. Lu, how did you end up here, and where are your other team members?"

Lu Li looked somewhat puzzled.

Not only had he been ambushed, but likely so had the other Cultivators.

This made him begin to harbor suspicions.

"Ever since entering the Void Formation, I have been ambushed while exploring and was separated from my teammates in the breakout."

Lin Wanru’s face showed lingering fear.

Had Lu Li not appeared suddenly, she might well have perished.

"In that case, Mr. Lu, why don’t you follow me for now?"

Lu Li offered a faint smile.

He openly invited her to join his team.

"Then I shall respectfully comply."

Lin Wanru smiled sweetly, as refreshing as a spring breeze.

For her, being with Lu Li greatly increased her chances of survival,

After all, encountering such a top-tier powerhouse was a rare opportunity, not to mention that their relationship had already become quite close.

Then, Lu Li activated his Divine Skills and Tunneling Light, swiftly moving forward.

A blue radiance enveloped him, fading in and out of the neighboring void in a few flickers.

Lin Wanru quickly followed suit.

The two of them moved through the vast void, one after another.

...

Several hours later.

In a strange place.

Three figures stood in the void, their expressions very ugly.

The air was thick with tension as if gunpowder filled it.

They were Ding Hongyu, Duan Lei, and a few others.

After yet another ambush, they had lost another member.

The mission hadn’t even started, and the losses were already severe, casting a shadow on everyone’s hearts.

At that moment, two glimmers of light rapidly approached from afar.

Within a few breaths, they stood before them,

revealing the elegant figures of a man and a woman.

"Mr. Lu, how does it happen that Miss Lin is here with you?"

Ding Hongyu and the others were somewhat puzzled.

As a Nascent Soul cultivator, he recognized most Nascent Souls in the Spirit Cloud Alliance.

That Miss Lin also had her own team, so it was unexpected to find her appearing with Lu Li.

"Miss Lin encountered an ambush and crossed paths with me, so I invited her to join our team."

Lu Li stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his face very calm.

"I also won’t be returning to my original team for now, and I hope my fellow Cultivators will take good care of me."

Lin Wanru smiled gracefully, bewitchingly beautiful.

"Welcome, Miss Lin, to our team."

Ding Hongyu and the others quickly smiled and greeted her.

There was no reason for them to refuse; their team had lost several members and needed new people to join.

Lu Li brought Lin Wanru back to the group.

A group stood in the void, the atmosphere somewhat heavy.

"Fellow Cultivators, let us continue our exploration, and as soon as we find Sun’s trapped location, we can initiate the rescue,"

Ding Hongyu said with a heavy expression.

Duan Lei and the others nodded solemnly, though a flicker of doubt crossed their eyes.

Lu Li did not speak, and the group came to a consensus.

With the newly joined Lin Wanru naturally not having much say.

The group started exploring again.

Several tunneling lights traveled through the vast void, their robes billowing in the gusting wind, accompanied by whistling sounds.

Time passed slowly, and in the following month,

Lu Li and his companions were exploring the southern part of the entire Void Formation.

Not only that, but the group had encountered two more ambushes.

Other teams they met were in a similar situation; they too had been ambushed.

Fortunately, Lu Li and his team were strong enough to prevent casualties.

With Lu Li’s assistance, Lin Wanru also managed to survive.

On this day, in the early morning,

in a part of the void to the southeast,

Lu Li and his team stood with grave expressions.

No one spoke, and the atmosphere was eerily strange.

Lin Wanru also sensed something amiss and quietly moved closer to Lu Li.

Her eyes, when glancing over Lu Li, were filled with gratitude.

Having been rescued several times, she already considered Lu Li the person she trusted most.

"Let us continue exploring. There are still many northern areas we haven’t covered,"

Ding Hongyu’s face darkened, and his tone was chilling,

yet his gaze held hints of inscrutable intentions.

"Shouldn’t you give an explanation, Mr. Lu? We keep getting ambushed at intervals, always encountering Stealing Heaven Alliance warriors who are just slightly stronger than us..."

Lu Li’s tone was very cold, and his eyes shone with a chilling intent to kill.

He had long sensed something was off, and no longer willing to beat around the bush, he directly confronted the issue.

Duan Lei and others also cast suspicious glances at Ding Hongyu.

Moreover, everyone scattered, cautiously surveying their surroundings.

The atmosphere on the field turned extremely tense, as if a massive conflict might erupt at any moment.

"Hmph... Mr. Lu, are you questioning me? Other teams have also been ambushed; it’s all just a coincidence."

Ding Hongyu’s face was calm, but his heart surged with murderous intent.

He resolved to find an opportunity to thoroughly crush Lu Li, this unstable element, at a later date.

"A coincidence? I don’t think so."

Lu Li sneered, his gaze fixed intently on Ding Hongyu.

"I also find it very strange, it’s as if the Stealing Heaven Alliance has eyes on us,"

"Maybe Mr. Ding should offer an explanation."

Duan Lei also looked warily at Ding Hongyu.

As he spoke, he swiftly moved to the side, cutting off Ding’s retreat.

The remaining Cultivators also scattered, brandishing their Spiritual Treasures, on the brink of battle.

"Hmph... I stand righteous and fear no crooked shadows; I have nothing to explain. Are you sure you want to provoke internal strife? Once we leave, I will report this to the Alliance..."

Ding Hongyu’s face turned very ugly.

He hadn’t expected these teammates to side with Lu Li,

and even prepared to take action against him.

"Kill."

Without hesitation, Lu Li made his move.

He transformed in a flash, becoming a giant figure resembling a deity emerging from the primeval wilderness, his body emitting a thick aura of death.
