East Cang Plaza.
In the vast plaza, silhouettes quietly arrived one after another, gazing at the light group atop the stele.
Besides curiosity and shock, the gaze of a few carried a hint of amusent.
Anyone could see that the person here definitely harbored secrets!
And in the Eastern Territory, being the most powerful realm in Xuanzhou, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi is much denser, Mortal Realm Grandmasters... a few can still be found.
Once soone becos interested in the secrets, the strength of a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer...
Might not be enough to ensure a safe escape!
Nurous ticulous cultivators observed their surroundings, possibly, so top figures from the Eastern Territory had already arrived here.
In the plaza.
This feedback refining was imnsely formidable, Lu Ye refined for almost half an hour before fully absorbing it.
At this mont, Lu Ye’s cultivation had astonishingly reached the later stage of Mortal Realm Grandmaster Fourth Layer!
Just one step away from advancing again.
It must be said that the feedback from the East Cang Stele is indeed enticing, costing a normal Mortal Realm Grandmaster decades or even a century of arduous cultivation.
The next mont, as the defensive shield on himself began to dissipate, Lu Ye imdiately sensed several imnsely powerful auras watching!
"Did the pillar of light draw in strong figures from the Eastern Territory due to the prolonged refining ti?"
Within an instant, Lu Ye deduced the reason, his eyes slightly narrowed.
Among these hidden prying auras, three were ones he couldn’t ignore, appearing to be renowned top figures from the Eastern Territory.
After thinking for a mont, Lu Ye seized the instant the stele’s shield faded to rapidly flash away.
Most present didn’t even see clearly what he looked like when he disappeared from within the shield, leaving that place empty.
"Such speed, I couldn’t even see what the person looked like before they were gone!"
"You think, he is a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer, ranked near the top of the East Cang List’s strongest, what realm are you? What realm is he?"
Instantly, the plaza buzzed with discussions.
anwhile, from several hidden void spots, a few figures left simultaneously.
"This person undoubtedly holds significant secrets, can’t let him leave so easily..."
In East Cang City, with a few flashes, Lu Ye was about to exit the range of East Cang City.
Sensing the chasing auras behind, Lu Ye’s deanor slightly changed.
At least three Mortal Realm Grandmasters were in pursuit, as for the other two late-stage Grandmasters, they were likely just there to spectate.
The three Mortal Realm Grandmasters posed a considerable threat to Lu Ye.
Indicating these three’s realms certainly were not beneath his.
Activating the Four Extres Dragon Transformation Technique, Lu Ye transford into a stream of light, slicing through the vast night sky, swiftly dashing out of East Cang City.
Behind him, several shadows carrying terrifying auras closely followed.
"This kid’s body technique is fast! Hmph... but thinking they can just leave like that is overly optimistic."
In the dark night, an elder coldly snorted.
Having cultivated to such a realm, who doesn’t have so trump cards up their sleeve?
Imdiately, the three Mortal Realm Grandmasters all erupted with terrifying speed.
As for the two others, who in ordinary eyes could also be counted as strong figures of the Eastern Territory, they stopped with a wry smile.
In an instant, all four vanished!
Chasing after them was utterly futile.
Elsewhere.
Hundreds of li passed in just a brief mont, Lu Ye furrowed his brow, glancing back, following the five pursuing auras... three remained!
Then, Lu Ye pushed his body technique to its utmost...
Three hundred li... five hundred li... a thousand li...
Initially, he indeed left those three so distance behind, but evidently, the opposition wasn’t without depth.
In short ti, they had pursued again.
"Young one, halt!"
Boom!
In an instant, three figures suddenly burst forth with terrifying speed, imdiately catching up and cutting off Lu Ye’s escape!
A triangular encirclent ford instantly.
"Young friend, you seem a bit unfamiliar, surely not a local of the Eastern Territory?"
After intercepting him, one amiable-looking middle-aged man said with a cheerful smile.
"Our Eastern Territory is always hospitable, young friend being so promising at such a young age, if we don’t entertain you a bit, people will say our Eastern Territory folk are rude. Why not sit down and chat, shall we?"
As he spoke, the middle-aged man’s gaze swiftly scanned Lu Ye’s plain face.
Also taking note of the appearance of the other two.
"So it’s Celestial Profound Deputy Sect Leader Ren Congzhou, Brother Ren... and Fire Refining Elder, hope you two are well." The middle-aged man cheerfully greeted them.
As if now wasn’t about to corner a top prodigy not yet fifty years old, ranking second on the East Cang List, but rather so ordinary conversation.
"Brother Ren greets the two of you, Brother Qian, hope you’ve been well." Celestial Profound Deputy Sect Leader Ren Congzhou clasped his hands.
These two, Qian Youming is the chairman of Wan Tong Comrce Association in Xuanzhou, his own strength, also with massive resources piled up, had reached the terrifying Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer!
Just a step from the late-stage Mortal Grandmaster!
While Fire Refining Elder is a rogue cultivator with no sect or faction.
Yet his fire manipulation skill, combined with his Mortal Realm Grandmaster Seventh Layer strength, placed him among the few top figures in Eastern Xuanzhou, ranking in the top ten pinnacle powerhouses of the Eastern Territory.
As for Ren Congzhou himself, also a Mortal Realm Grandmaster Sixth Layer, was within the top ten of the Eastern Territory.
After all, when Lu Ye ranked, he displayed Mortal Realm Grandmaster Second Layer, able to suppress those of the Third Layer realm, ranking second.
Cultivators below Mortal Realm Grandmaster Third Layer had little confidence and wouldn’t easily step forth and act.
Seeing those three figures, all mid-stage Mortal Realm Grandmaster or higher, Lu Ye’s expression turned rarely solemn.
No wonder he couldn’t shake them despite activating his body technique... turns out their realms were generally two or three levels higher.
"Why did the three of you track here?" Lu Ye calmly asked.
Wan Tong Comrce Association Chairman Qian Youming laughed heartily, "A chance eting is fate, I just wish to get acquainted with the young friend. If ti permits, you can visit my place soti."
Ren Congzhou didn’t speak, silently observing Lu Ye.
Fire Refining Elder was less patient, narrowing his eyes, "Youngster, hand over your secrets, and this old man might spare your life!"
Among them, Fire Refining Elder had the highest cultivation, having already considered Lu Ye as his ga.
This youngster with rapid cultivation secrets... Fire Refining Elder wanted it!
"Oh? So that’s what this is." Lu Ye’s expression remained neutral, retorting, "But, I’m alone, even if there’s a secret, it holds a single share, with three of you, how should it be divided? Who gets it?"
Upon hearing this, the previously surrounding trio experienced a shift in their ntality.
