In the centre of the Valley of dicine, there were more than ten huts. That was where the owner of the Valley and her assistants lived.
In one of the huts, a towering and haughty man with long black hair stood in front of a woman. Impatience was written all over his face as he said, “We call you the Divine Healer because we respect you. However, if we have no regard for you, we’ll have no qualms about destroying the Valley of dicine. What can you do about it?”
Since Heavenly Gully Cult had decided to cordon off the Valley of dicine, the leader certainly wouldn’t be the Eighth-Order Master, who was killed by Lu Ye with several moves. An Eighth-Order Master couldn’t possibly be responsible for handling such a huge matter.
Therefore, the leader this ti was the Ninth Elder of the Cult, Wu Xie.
There were many Elders in the Cult, and they were all Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Masters. It was said that there were more than fifty of them.
However, their ranking wouldn’t stay the sa forever. The higher one’s ranking was, the more powerful he was.
Since all the Elders were Ninth-Order Masters, they certainly wouldn’t think they were weaker than anyone. Therefore, the rankings of these Elders would change from ti to ti within the Cult.
Nevertheless, the top ten Elders had never changed.
From the First Elder to the Tenth Elder, they were the pillars of strength in the Cult. They usually wouldn’t make a move unless it was absolutely necessary for them to do so.
It could be said that they had paid the Divine Healer due respect by letting the Ninth Elder deal with her.
He was there to invite the Divine Healer back to the headquarters.
In the past, the Heavenly Gully Cult and the Valley of dicine wouldn’t interfere in one another’s affairs because the Divine Healer had a wide network. If they offended the Divine Healer, they would suffer a huge setback.
However, they were in the middle of doing sothing major. Regardless of whether they would succeed or fail, they would be the enemies of everyone else in Soaring Dragon Boundary. By then, many people would co to Xue Zhou to attack them. When war broke out, casualties and injuries were inevitable. If they could have the Divine Healer and her assistants on their side, they could imdiately get so treatnt when they were injured.
Although he claid to invite the Divine Healer to the headquarters, he had to take her away regardless of what she thought.
As expected, the Divine Healer didn’t agree to his request. An impatient Wu Xie’s tone grew harsher as he spoke to her.
Just then, a gentle voice sounded, saying, “I’m a doctor whose job is to heal people. What’s the point of you acting all mighty in front of , Ninth Elder?”
“Divine Healer! Don’t make go hard on you. I’m sure you understand what I’m like. Since the Cult Master has asked to deal with this matter, you know the consequences of turning down. Even if you’re dead, I’ll bring your corpse back to the headquarters!”
“Well, everyone will die eventually.” Faced with the threat of a Ninth-Order Master, the Divine Healer remained calm and collected as she ticulously sorted out the herbs in front of her.
“Very well!” Wu Xie’s lips curved into an eerie smile. He decided that if he couldn’t take the Divine Healer back to the headquarters, he would kill her and complete his mission. That was the reason the Cult Master asked him to deal with this matter.
Just as he was ready to make a move, he felt sothing and turned to look in the entrance’s direction. Then, he bellowed, “How dare you!”
The mont he finished speaking, he disappeared from his spot as a ray of light flew towards the entrance.
He must’ve detected the noise of Lu Ye killing the black-clothed cultivator.
Inside the hut, the Divine Healer lifted her head and looked in the entrance’s direction as a glint flashed across her eyes. Despite the obstacles, she seed able to see what was going on at the entrance.
Then, she let out an almost imperceptible sigh.
It was a total ss at the entrance. With Lu Ye making the first move, the cultivators, who were there to seek the Divine Healer’s help, joined forces and destroyed the cultivators from the Cult.
Although there were more people on the Cult’s side, they were unable to ward off Lu Ye’s attacks.
There ca a mont when Lu Ye looked up and saw a ray of light charging towards him from the Valley of dicine. Before the person even arrived, his furious voice reverberated across the place. “How dare you kill the disciples of our Cult! Go to Hell!”
“Watch out, Lu Ye!” exclaid Yi Yi as she realised that the person was formidable.
The next mont, Amber, who initially crouched on Yi Yi’s shoulder to help her look after Ye Liuli, leapt onto Lu Ye’s shoulder.
Like an enraged cat, Amber slightly crouched down and growled as all its hair stood on end.
The tiger would only act like this when it found the opponent intimidating.
At that mont, Lu Ye could see nothing else but the towering figure that was dashing towards him.
[He’s powerful!]
Lu Ye had co into contact with many Ninth-Order Masters before. Apart from those on the Cloud River Battlefield, he had killed two Ninth-Order Masters in Soaring Dragon Boundary.
One of them was Pang Wanhai from Divine Will Sect, and the other was Sun Qi from Heavenly Gully Cult.
Although they were all Ninth-Order Masters, they gave off different vibes.
There was no doubt Sun Qi was stronger than Pang Wanhai when it ca to his power. However, the person in the Valley was even more powerful than Sun Qi.
The unique environnt in Soaring Dragon Boundary caused the differences between the cultivators’ powers. Since their cultivation couldn’t be improved further, they could only hone their combat skills and strengthen their heritages.
The Ninth-Order Masters in Soaring Dragon Boundary had done their best to maximise their potential in the Cloud River Realm.
Therefore, even though they were in the sa Order, their powers weren’t equal.
It was just like the difference between the Three Tumors and the Heaven Nine cultivators on the Spirit Creek Battlefield back then.
“He’s the Ninth Elder of Heavenly Gully Cult, Wu Xie!” Zhuang Bufan spoke to Lu Ye suddenly. “He’s a Sword Cultivator, so you have to be careful, Brother Ye!”
The mont Zhuang Bufan finished speaking, Wu Xie cast a ray of green light with his palm. The ferocious Qi locked onto Lu Ye and cut across his skin.
Sword Cultivators were famous for being savage, and they could deal the severest damage of all the factions. They were also the most bloodthirsty. Compared to the cultivators in the sa Realm, Sword Cultivators could usually suppress all other factions.
More importantly, Wu Xie was more powerful than Lu Ye.
There was a sword hidden within the ray of green light. The sword was where the ferocity and sharpness ca from.
Although the cultivators, who were on Lu Ye’s side, weren’t targeted, they still couldn’t help but stop in their tracks. They were cold all over their bodies, feeling as though it was doomsday.
Looking at the attack, all of them were despondent and felt like it was pointless to keep living.
Zhuang Bufan bit his lip and forced himself to struggle out of the negativity, after which he felt horrified.
He had heard that the top ten Elders from Heavenly Gully Cult were unimaginably powerful. It wasn’t until he saw it with his eyes that he realised the statent was true. Even the Ninth Elder’s flying sword was able to stun others before it even reached its target. It was hard to imagine how formidable were the Elders who were ranked higher than him.
Zhuang Bufan looked worriedly at Lu Ye, wondering what would happen to the latter.
However, what he saw astounded him.
Faced with such an attack, Lu Ye stomped his feet on the ground, which cracked upon impact. There were a pair of deep footprints on the ground as he shot forward like an arrow.
Fiery Spiritual Power surged around him. It looked as if he was engulfed in flas.
Wu Xie’s Sword Intent didn’t seem to affect him one bit.
That was mainly because Lu Ye’s soul was strong enough.
Intent couldn’t be seen or touched, but it was targeted at one’s soul. Therefore, even though Lu Ye had never co across such an attack before, his robust soul could fend off the Sword Intent’s influence on him.
“Huh?” Wu Xie was startled. When he saw that Lu Ye was charging forward instead of retreating, he was surprised, for he had never seen a Sixth-Order Master like him. He snorted. “It’s no wonder you have the guts to kill the disciples from our Cult. It seems that you’re well-prepared.”
He believed that Lu Ye had an expert behind his back. Perhaps Lu Ye ca from one of the top Sects. Otherwise, a young brat like him couldn’t have resisted his attack.
In the past, Wu Xie probably wouldn’t kill his opponent when he realised the other party ca from a top Sect. If he offended a top Sect, his life would be miserable.
However, that was the last of his concerns now.
Heavenly Gully Cult would be the enemies of everyone else in Soaring Dragon Boundary soon. Sooner or later, they would be targeted by the three hegemons. Therefore, Wu Xie had no qualms about killing a brat who ca out of nowhere.
At the thought of this, he activated his power and split the ray of light into countless Sword Lights, which soon engulfed Lu Ye.
All the cultivators were so shocked that they were unable to speak. Zhuang Bufan’s expression changed as he said, “Oh, no!”
He didn’t think Lu Ye could ever survive such an attack.
However, a figure erged from the Sword Lights the next mont.
The Sword Lights carried so of Lu Ye’s blood as they flew away. His clothes were tattered, and the flesh around his wounds had rolled up.
Sword Cultivators were generally savage, and Ninth-Order Sword Cultivators were especially brutal. However, nothing was more horrifying than a Ninth-Order Sword Cultivator who had had years of accumulation like Wu Xie.
If Lu Ye hadn’t activated Protection Glyph, he would’ve lost his life.
“Why is his body so robust?” Wu Xie was surprised. The others might not realise what had happened, but he had seen everything clearly.
The Spiritual Power Shield and the flickering Glyph that ca out of nowhere were things that only a Glyphweaver could activate.
Besides that, Wu Xie found it inconceivable that Lu Ye’s physique was unusually strong. After his flying sword shattered Lu Ye’s protection, it still couldn’t cause him any fatal injury.
Although Lu Ye looked battered, he had only suffered from so flesh wounds.
While Wu Xie was in his thoughts, Lu Ye arrived as Amber growled on his shoulder. The invisible impact spread alongside the sonic attack, penetrating Wu Xie’s mind.
Wu Xie felt as if soone had struck his head with a hamr as he started seeing Stars. Although he got rid of the impact soon, he saw a flash of light slashing across him.
Then, countless Saber Lights ca descending on him like a galaxy.
His pupils dilated as a great sense of anxiety rose within him. It wasn’t until this mont that he realised he had underestimated this young man.
