Chapter 807: Fengyun Brothers
Lu Ye kept his saber back in the sheath and looked at a particular part of the sky.
An anxious Chu Ruoyu hurriedly ordered, “Keep the Sky Mirror now!”
He felt as if the last slash was aid at his neck instead of Lin Xun’s. Although he was hiding inside the Hidden Realm, he felt an eerily cold sensation around his neck.
Around him, the cultivators from the five major Families remained silent. They had intended to make use of Lin Xun to kill Lu Ye, but they had never expected to witness such a horrifying sight.
Lin Xun, a powerful Corpse Race mber himself, was killed while his group of corpses were burned to death by a spell.
It wasn’t until this mont that they realised how powerful and nacing Lu Ye truly was. They felt lucky that Lu Ye didn’t activate the spell in the City of Wuyuan. Otherwise, the entire city would’ve beco a living Hell.
Now, it seed that losing their courage from a long ti of living peacefully was beneficial. If they were confrontational, they would’ve gotten into a fight with the two intruders.
They had offended the two of them, but as long as they couldn’t find the door, they could never enter Silver Snake Valley again.
All of them shared the sentint that they would never want to see Lu Ye again.
…
In mid-air, Lu Ye pocketed his gaze and stealthily stuffed so pills into his mouth. When he turned around, he looked in a particular direction and charged towards Ying Wuji.
There were two figures hiding in that direction. They were still reeling from the shock.
They were not there by accident. Instead, they had been hiding there to keep an eye on Lin Xun, but they never expected to witness such a shocking sight.
“Big Brother…” one of them said in a hushed voice.
“Shush!” Another person quickly placed a finger on his lips. “Keep quiet.”
He felt that the young man had looked in their direction when turning around. Faced with such a ferocious person, he wouldn’t dare be careless.
As Lu Ye was going away, the person got to his feet and said, “Follow him!”
Regardless, they had to find out more about the young man. It would be wonderful if they could make him side with them. The young man was able to destroy Lin Xun and his formidable group of corpses on his own. Such a man was valuable.
His power and his horrifying spell were unheard of. It was a wonder which Hidden Realm he was from.
After reaching Ying Wuji, Lu Ye led him to go to another place. At the sa ti, he activated Gluttonous Feast to increase the speed of refining the dical efficacies to restore his power.
Back then, he had to get prepared for a long ti before activating Fire Phoenix. He even had to make use of his reserve of Spiritual Power in the Spirit Storage Ring. Ȓ𝘼ℕö𝖇ʧ
But now, he was able to activate the spell using only his own power, albeit with so difficulty. The ti he needed to get prepared shortened as well. It was a benefit that ca from the improvent in his power.
Although Fire Phoenix was powerful, it wasn’t suitable to be used against a formidable enemy. There was no doubt the ti needed for preparation had been shortened, but he wouldn’t have ti to get prepared when faced with an equally strong enemy.
It could only be used in the earlier situation where the reckless enemies ca to him from a distance. That gave him sufficient ti to get prepared.
Anyway, several of his trump cards needed ti for preparation. It was the sa case for Fire Phoenix, Bloodrage, and Beast Form.
When he finally managed to get the powerful Dragon Throne from Soaring Dragon Boundary, it was found to be broken, rendering it unusable. Lu Ye wondered if his Honoured Master had repaired it by now.
He was an Eighth-Order Cloud River Realm Master now, so he would probably leave the Cloud River Battlefield soon. Once that happened, he would arrive in a turbulent environnt. He might co across a life-and-death crisis at any mont. As such, he needed a way to save his life.
As the thought turned over in his mind, he heard Ying Wuji saying, “Lu Yi Ye, I’ll never forget that you’ve saved my life. I’ll return your favour in the future!”
In fact, Lu Ye had saved him twice. The first ti was when Ying Wuji first arrived in the Peerless Continent. He was hunted down by a group of corpses, and Lu Ye appeared out of nowhere and got him out of trouble.
This ti, Lu Ye even saved him from the hands of the five Families, and Ying Wuji wasn’t hurt much. There was no doubt he was grateful, but since they were from opposing sites, he had to do things that were against his wishes. This made him feel helpless.
He had been awestruck by the Fire Phoenix for a long ti. It wasn’t until this mont that he cald down and ca to his senses. He thanked Lu Ye with sincerity.
“I didn’t an to save you. It didn’t take much effort anyway.”
Ying Wuji felt discomfited upon hearing Lu Ye’s words. He thought, [Even if it was true, you didn’t have to say that. I feel so humiliated now!]
After giving it so thought, he realised Lu Ye probably didn’t save him intentionally. If Lu Ye wanted to leave Silver Snake Valley, he definitely had to confront the five Families. He had rely decided to capture so captives and trade them for him.
Ying Wuji felt bitter deep within, for he finally ca to the realisation that, despite being ranked 16th in the Fight for Supremacy, he was a nobody in front of Lu Ye.
While he was secretly lanting, Lu Ye suddenly descended and fished out so Ward Flags before casting them.
[Why is he building a Ward suddenly?] Ying Wuji deduced that the spell must’ve drained a lot of energy from Lu Ye, which was why the latter had to restore his power quickly.
Soon, a Ward that covered a large area took shape. Ying Wuji was amazed, for he could never build a Ward as fast as the man did.
“Hide yourself,” Lu Ye ordered.
Without asking any questions, Ying Wuji activated a Secret Technique to conceal his presence. Following that, Lu Ye disappeared as well.
Minutes later, Ying Wuji, who was hiding in the dark, detected sothing. So people had stepped into the Ward, and just like Lu Ye and him, they quickly concealed their presence and kept moving forward.
Only then did Ying Wuji realise that Lu Ye didn’t build a Ward there to protect him so that he could restore his power. Instead, he had detected so people tailing them.
[Are they from Silver Snake Valley or sowhere else?] Just as Ying Wuji was doubtful, he heard so people exclaim. Following that, two people ca into his sight. Their backs were hunched as though they were pressured by a mountain. Their powers surged, and they seed to be struggling.
Their appearances were identical, but one was clad in green clothes while the other was in grey clothes. It seed that they were twins.
The fluctuations of their auras showed that they were Eighth-Order Masters, but their Spiritual Powers and auras could intertwine with one another perfectly. They seed to have beco one, and their joint aura was even more powerful than that of a Ninth-Order Master.
[What Secret Technique is that?] Ying Wuji was astounded.
“A Ward!” The expression of the man in green clothes changed. Realising that they were in danger, he hurriedly shouted, “Fellow Cultivators, we have no ill intentions! Please spare our lives!”
He was secretly shocked that they had fallen into the other party’s Ward without their knowledge. Now, their lives were in the other party’s hands. What was even more astonishing was that the two of them were able to quickly build a Ward there even though only a short ti had passed.
Another man in grey clothes shouted, “We’re from Purple Star Palace! We’re not bad people!”
“Purple Star Palace…” A voice was suddenly heard as Lu Ye appeared.
It was such a coincidence. In Silver Snake Valley, he had asked Chu Ruoyu about how to contact the other two Hidden Realms, but the latter didn’t have a way either.
He was wondering how he could find the other two Hidden Realms when he ca across people from Purple Star Palace not long after he left Silver Snake Valley.
He waved his hand, and the pressure on the twins disappeared. They let out a breath, still reeling from the shock.
Both of them were fairly powerful, and they had been secretive. Still, they fell into the other party’s Ward. They understood that it wasn’t a misperception earlier. Lu Ye had discovered them and built a Ward there, waiting for them to step right into it.
“Are you really from Purple Star Palace?” Lu Ye glanced at them.
“There isn’t a reason for us to lie to you.” The man in green clothes cupped his fists. “Greetings, Fellow Cultivator. I’m Fengyun Qianli from Purple Star Palace.”
The man in grey clothes cupped his fists as well. “Greetings, Fellow Cultivator. I’m Fengyun Wanli.”
[Their nas…] A glint flashed across Lu Ye’s eyes. “Why are you following ?”
Fengyun Qianli smiled in embarrassnt. “We’re not deliberately following you. It’s just that we’re asked to hide here to keep an eye on Lin Xun’s Grave. We saw you using an amazing move to destroy Lin Xun and his corpses. As such, we admire you and want to make friends with you. If this causes any misunderstanding, we apologise.”
Following that, they saluted Lu Ye. They were not entirely truthful. After all, they were indeed secretly following Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, but it was also true that they wanted to make friends with them.
“You’re asked to keep an eye on Lin Xun here? Is it an order from Purple Star Palace?” Lu Ye asked ditatively.
Yi Yi had gathered a lot of information in the City of Wuyuan, which included the backgrounds of the three Hidden Realms.
Of the three Hidden Realms, those from Silver Snake Valley were the wimpiest. They never dared confront the Corpse Race. Even when the representatives went out there and ca across Corpse Race mbers, they would stay as far away from them as possible. They no longer had the courage and resolve to fight the Corpse Race.
Conversely, those from Purple Star Palace were firm and determined. Over the past 1,000 years, they had been trying to get rid of the Corpse Race so that the Peerless Continent would be restored to its originally beautiful state. They had been working hard to hunt the Corpse Race mbers down.
At the sa ti, they had been trying to persuade the other two Hidden Realms to join forces with them, but their efforts were futile. Needless to say, those from Silver Snake Valley just wanted to protect their Hidden Realm. They had to make a lot of calculations before opening the door to avoid the territories occupied by powerful Corpse Race mbers. Naturally, they wouldn’t join forces with Purple Star Palace.
On the other hand, those from Mount Suru had been reluctant as well. They didn’t agree to work with Purple Star Palace, but they didn’t turn them down either. Their stance had been ambiguous. Nevertheless, they had once proclaid that if those from Silver Snake Valley were willing to join forces, they would agree to it as well.
As such, the situation was slightly awkward in the Peerless Continent. Only the cultivators from Purple Star Palace were willing to go out there and hunt the Corpse Race mbers down. The people from Mount Suru paid close attention to those from Silver Snake Valley, who only wanted to live comfortably in their own Hidden Realm.
