A mont later, the first to arrive was the Red Cloud Fairy, descending like a long red rainbow.
This was a mountain hollow, and as the Red Cloud Fairy’s gaze swept quickly over...
Not a soul in sight!
"Left a step earlier?"
Feeling the surrounding area for any remaining traces, the Red Cloud Fairy’s expression beca sowhat serious.
"Not even a trace of a departure ripple was left behind. It seems their body technique is truly remarkable."
The Red Cloud Fairy’s face turned grim, realizing that Zi Wuji was probably not mistaken.
The tis have changed!
Even though she was also at the Grandmaster Seventh Layer, she felt an overwhelming sense of powerlessness erging within her.
Whether it was the mysterious grandmaster who easily left her behind earlier, or now, the Divine Body owner whose shadow she hadn’t even glimpsed.
Their body techniques were beyond the Red Cloud Fairy’s reach.
When did body technique beco her weak point?
Just as a sense of helplessness began to grow in the Red Cloud Fairy’s heart, several powerful presences descended one after another.
Zi Wuji swept his gaze over the area and noticed that only the Red Cloud Fairy was present, prompting him to frown.
"The person receiving starlight here left early?"
The Red Cloud Fairy ignored Zi Wuji and nodded toward the other two figures.
"City Lord Zhang, Elder Yuan."
Besides Zi Wuji, the other two were City Lord Zhang Ling of East Cang City and Yuan Chong, a Martial Arts Grandmaster Fifth Layer from the Bai Chuan Comrce Association.
"Red Cloud Fairy, long ti no see, you’re as graceful as ever," Zhang Ling said with a hearty smile, "Since you arrived before us, did you find anything?"
Hearing this, the Red Cloud Fairy shook her head, "When I arrived here, it was already deserted, and there was no trace of any treasure’s aura."
Yuan Chong sensed the area slightly and then remarked in surprise.
"The Heaven and Earth Source Qi here was extensively drawn upon, suggesting not the ergence of a treasure, but rather... soone was cultivating here! But who could slip away right under the Red Cloud Fairy’s nose?"
The body technique of the Red Cloud Sect might not be the number one in the Northern Territory, but it’s at least the second.
Especially with the strength of a Grandmaster Seventh Layer, even soone like Zhang Ling, who oversees East Cang City at the sa level, couldn’t completely surpass her in body technique.
"The Eastern Territory is vast and full of talents, it’s not unusual to have high-level experts," the Red Cloud Fairy responded with a slight smile, seemingly unconcerned and also complinting the depth of the Eastern Territory.
After pondering for a mont, Yuan Chong said, "Since such a celestial phenonon was triggered, this person is likely, as the legend goes, a rare Divine Body!"
Once said, none of the three other arriving grandmasters refuted.
Having lived for at least a century and seeing much of the world, they indeed recognized such a scene as the status of a powerful and extraordinary physique honing one’s cultivation.
At that mont, including the Red Cloud Fairy, the four powerful cultivators, all at least in the middle stage of Grandmaster, had various thoughts running through their minds.
...
Elsewhere.
Lu Ye returned to the inn, continuing to stabilize his newly promoted Grandmaster Seventh Layer realm.
As the person involved, Lu Ye’s state of mind was calm and tranquil. On the contrary, various rumors spread throughout East Cang City by the next morning.
The mory Stone, which recorded the infinite starlight pouring down from the sky, seemingly opening the gates of heaven and earth, beca a hot-selling item.
Quickly, Ruxue also sent a ssage.
Lu Ye listened briefly and found it was about the items to be auctioned on the second night.
The trading event lasted three days, and as the Chief Auctioneer, Ruxue earnestly announced in advance today’s auction items to Lu Ye.
After listening, Lu Ye displayed a slight look of contemplation.
From the current actions, Ruxue’s intentions to form a good relationship with him were evident.
"This Bai Chuan Comrce Association’s Ruxue... is quite interesting."
With a word of thanks, Lu Ye put away the Communication Jade Token.
His Innate Source-Breaking Pill would also go up for auction tonight, to be exchanged for Source Crystals.
At that mont, there was a sudden knock on the door.
"Young Master Chen."
It was Chen Lingxiang, sounding a bit hurried.
"Co in."
Upon receiving permission, Chen Lingxiang quickly entered, sowhat nervously announcing, "Young Master Chen, I think soone is following ."
"When I went out to get sothing earlier, two presences were faintly locking onto , and now that I’ve returned to the inn, I suspect they’re watching this place as well."
"I suspect it’s because of the Upper Grade Innate Pill I bought last night."
Hearing this, Lu Ye raised an eyebrow and asked, "What’s the strength of those two?"
"They seem around the Innate Fifth or Sixth Layer," Chen Lingxiang replied.
"Don’t panic, continue acting like you haven’t noticed them, and pretend you’re planning to leave East Cang City—deal with it outside the city," Lu Ye suggested after so thought.
Chen Lingxiang was also one of the few friends he was on good terms with, and if he was being targeted by Tribulation Cultivators...
Then it was just those two Innate Realm Tribulation Cultivators’ bad luck, as it was a perfect ti to see what they had.
"Alright, I’ll trouble Young Master Chen then," Chen Lingxiang didn’t hesitate, turning to head out of the city to lure the two Tribulation Cultivators out.
...
Outside East Cang City.
A figure hurriedly exited the city, heading straight for the Northern Territory.
A mont later, a man and a woman exchanged glances and stealthily followed.
The first figure moved quickly, covering nearly thirty miles and widening the distance from East Cang City.
However, just as about to pass through a minor road, a middle-aged woman had already blocked the path at the corner ahead.
"Friend, why are you in such a hurry?" The middle-aged woman asked, with a strange smile, "The event is just on its second day, why are you leaving already?"
The woman in the blue dress showed a hint of panic and quickly tried to turn back.
Yet unexpectedly, behind, a scar-faced middle-aged man watched her with amusent as if observing prey.
"Miss, we an no harm, we just want your Storage Ring."
Though the scar-faced man’s words were as such, the flash of cruelty in his eyes betrayed his true intentions.
He said this because the outwardly displayed strength of the woman in the blue dress, Chen Lingxiang, was also Innate Third Layer.
Originally at Innate Fourth Layer, but since accompanying Lu Ye to the pinnacle Grandmaster’s cave abode stash.
Realizing the cunning world outside and the nurous hidden trump cards of Old Liu.
Thus, Chen Lingxiang preferred to slightly suppress her realm afterward, learning to keep an ace in the hole.
"Who are you?" Chen Lingxiang asked with a hint of suspicion, "I haven’t offended you, have I?"
The scar-faced man looked incredulously at Chen Lingxiang’s unremarkable face.
How could a woman so plain-sounding have such a soft and tender voice that almost aroused his misguided desires!
However, as he scanned her slender and willowy figure, the scar-faced man thought... not looking at the face might be acceptable.
Instantly, a trace of wickedness flashed in the scar-faced man’s eyes.
Opposite him, the middle-aged woman clearly noticed the trace of wickedness and vented her anger at Chen Lingxiang.
"Damn vixen! Learned no good things, only how to enchant n! I’ll show you what’s what today!"
Chen Lingxiang: "???"
She was being robbed, and just one sentence turned her into a vixen?
Besides, wanting to enchant and act like a vixen... she would only do so for her beloved, Lu Ye.
The middle-aged woman, boiling with rage, moved incredibly fast, instantly reaching Chen Lingxiang.
The powerful Innate True Qi encompassed and locked onto Chen Lingxiang, while a massive hand slapped toward her face!
