At that ti, they were in a perilous situation as death was imminent. This guy vented all his fury on Lu Ye as though there wouldn’t be another chance if he didn’t do that right there and then.
In the end, the reinforcents from Jiu Zhou arrived at the most critical mont and solved their crisis.
Since they were struck with Source Corpse Poison, they went to Hua Ci for treatnt. On the other hand, Lu Ye brought Ju Jia and Lan Zi Yi with him to destroy the Golden Corpse King.
Lu Ye vividly rembered everything.
Initially, he thought that after they left the Cloud River Battlefield, returned to Jiu Zhou, and ascended to the Real Lake Realm, they wouldn’t have the chance to et again. Much to his surprise, fate pulled a prank on them as they t again so soon.
It was such a coincidence that two enemies ca across each other again.
After giving it so thought, Lu Ye reckoned it shouldn’t be surprising. Both of them were from Bing Zhou. Since they had joined their respective Zhou Watches, it was expected that they would et again.
Lu Ye wrapped his hand around the hilt of the Inviolable Saber at his waist.
Soon, Ying Wuji descended from the top of the crater.
Although he had recently ascended to the Real Lake Realm, he had joined the Zhou Watch much earlier than Lu Ye. In fact, he beca part of Thousand Demon Ridge’s Bing Zhou Watch not long after he made it to the Cloud River Realm.
As such, he knew more about the affairs at the frontlines than Lu Ye.
Since he was weak back then, he couldn’t take on any important role. Now that he was a Real Lake Realm Master, he finally held a major position. This ti, he received an order and brought a group of cultivators to this place to collect so Flas of Earthen Spirits.
The task wasn’t difficult, but it was ti-consuming. Therefore, he was the only Real Lake Realm Master in the group, whereas the others were Cloud River Realm Masters who had just joined the Zhou Watch, and their powers varied.
The Cloud River Battlefield was closed for now. Since Cloud River Realm Masters had nowhere else to go, they stread into the frontlines where the two sides clashed. This caused the Passes to be full of cultivators, and more conflicts took place.
Following the experience where he collaborated with Lu Ye and the others in the Peerless Continent, Ying Wuji now had a different view about the feud between the two sides that had been ongoing for thousands of years.
In the past, he would think that every cultivator from the Grand Sky Coalition should be killed. He might not hold grudges against them, but he had to do that as they were from the opposing side.
But now, he no longer thought that way.
What he had been taught since a young age was suddenly impacted, so he felt lost. According to his observations, the almighty and mysterious Heavens frequently encouraged cooperation between the two sides.
It was thanks to the Heavens’ instructions that the nine of them ca together and headed to the Peerless Continent back then. The Heavens had encouraged and made an arrangent for them to save the broken world.
Also, when cultivators from the two sides entered the Hidden Realms on the Cloud River Battlefield, they often had to work together.
In that case, what was the point of the two sides going against each other for such a long ti?
Ying Wuji didn’t understand it, so he went to ask his Honoured Master about it. Initially, he thought his Honoured Master could give him so guidance, but the other party didn’t say much and only told him to look for the answer on his own.
He felt even more disoriented, and he almost delayed his ascension to the Real Lake Realm because of it.
He wasn’t assigned to Lone Cloud City Pass by Thousand Demon Ridge’s Bing Zhou Watch. Instead, it was his own decision. That was because as far as he was concerned, this Pass was the most serene place at the frontlines where the two sides clashed.
He needed so ti to sort out his thoughts. He hoped that the tranquillity of this place could help solve the problems that had been bugging him.
Across from their Pass, there was a legendary woman who could protect Blue Fla Mountain Pass on her own. She was the only cultivator from the Grand Sky Coalition there.
As such, there wasn’t much fighting here. Ying Wuji wouldn’t get killed, nor would he have to kill anyone.
The legendary woman would visit Lone Cloud City Pass from ti to ti, causing everyone to panic. Considering her power, she could certainly destroy many of them. But so far, she had never oppressed cultivators who were weaker than she was.
Every ti she headed to Lone Cloud City Pass, she would only try to assassinate Wan Zhanggang. Although her attempts would always fail, she never gave up.
Ying Wuji knew nothing about the feud between the two Divine Ocean Realm Masters that made the legendary woman so insistent, but that was a personal matter between them, so that was none of his concern.
He only needed so ti to ponder and look for an answer.
He activated his Spiritual Power to protect himself from the heat. The mont he landed, he saw a figure seated at the bottom of the crater.
[Soone’s here!] Ying Wuji instantly beca vigilant.
Although the probability of coming across a cultivator from the Grand Sky Coalition here was low, there might be an exception. He had always been a cautious person, which was why he had survived so many crises.
As soon as he caught sight of the person, he glanced at his waist. When he saw that there wasn’t a saber at the person’s waist, he was relieved.
He had been traumatised following the trip to the Peerless Continent. Now, he didn’t want to see Combat Cultivators who used sabers, especially a certain soone who used a long saber.
However, when he lifted his gaze, he was imdiately flustered. That was because the person over there was wearing a mask, so his face couldn’t be seen. The person’s figure suggested that it was a man.
Ying Wuji almost cursed. As far as he was concerned, there was once when Lu Ye had been wearing a face mask wherever he went to conceal his identity.
It was a crater in the middle of nowhere, but there was this guy who was wearing a face mask as though he didn’t dare reveal his face. There was definitely sothing off about it.
When Ying Wuji studied the man, he felt his heart turning cold.
That was because this person’s figure was identical to Lu Ye’s, even though he was seated there. Having spent so much ti with Lu Ye in the Peerless Continent, Ying Wuji was familiar with the man.
Presently, this person didn’t have a beast nad Amber over his shoulder, but that wasn’t the point. Spirit Beast Bags could be purchased in the Vault of Providence. The Beastmasters would purchase the bags to keep their Tad Beasts.
Although the environnt in the crater was scorching, Ying Wuji felt cold all over his body. He was terrified of the possibility of this guy being Lu Ye. [Why is he even here!?]
The sweat on his forehead soon evaporated. He clenched the hilt of his machete and then relaxed his grip repeatedly. Conflicted emotions rose within him, but he didn’t have the courage to fight.
If the person before his eyes was indeed Lu Ye, he wouldn’t be a match for him, and all the people in his group would be killed as well. He didn’t even have a chance to send a ssage to anyone.
Just as Ying Wuji thought he was dood, Lu Ye said, “What’s wrong, Fellow Cultivator?”
Naturally, he didn’t use his own voice. Considering his cultivation, he could activate his Spiritual Power and easily alter his voice, though he had never learned how to do it.
He didn’t imdiately make a move when they t. Before Ying Wuji’s arrival, he had even kept his Inviolable Saber and put on a face mask. That was because he wasn’t willing to leave such a wonderful place.
If his identity was exposed right there and then, regardless of whether he could destroy this group of cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge, he could never co to this place again.
Moreover, following the trip to the Peerless Continent, he had realised sothing. Although he wasn’t as confused as Ying Wuji, he wouldn’t imdiately unsheathe his saber when he ca across cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge, unlike what he always did back then.
Besides the increase in power, he could also see things that he couldn’t in the past.
“Nothing…” Ying Wuji replied with difficulty. He sported an awkward expression, uncertain if the person in front of him was Lu Ye.
If this person were Lu Ye, he wouldn’t have asked such a question.
Back then in the Muddy Sky Temple in the Peerless Continent, Ying Wuji had berated Lu Ye in public. Considering how vengeful Lu Ye was, he would’ve attacked Ying Wuji the mont they t instead of asking him a question in a calm tone. If he had unsheathed his saber, Ying Wuji would’ve been dood.
[If he isn’t Lu Yi Ye…] Ying Wuji believed that his judgent was right. There was no way he was mistaken. Considering this person’s figure, he must be Lu Ye. After all, Ying Wuji had spent a lot of ti with him, though he was always led by the nose.
Just then, Lu Ye said, “Are you from Lone Cloud City? Don’t worry. I’m from Thousand Demon Ridge as well.”
Ying Wuji secretly sneered while thinking, [I don’t believe you. Don’t even think you can fool !]
Presently, he was trying to co up with a way to send a ssage to soone or inform the Cloud River Realm Masters outside to run for their lives without the other party realising it.
The Annihilator of Sects was right there. If they didn’t run now, they would be slaughtered.
While he was in his thoughts, Lu Ye suddenly raised his hand and showed him the back of it. Then, he activated the Battlefield Imprint and said, “Look.”
When Ying Wuji saw the red light, he was so relieved that he almost broke into tears. He had never found the red light more cordial than this ti.
Exhausted, he kept his machete and said, “You’ve scared out of my wits, Fellow Cultivator!”
A saber and a Tad Beast could be kept. His face could be concealed using a mask. However, a Battlefield Imprint couldn’t be manipulated.
It was given by the Heavens. Red light represented Thousand Demon Ridge, blue light represented the Grand Sky Coalition, and yellow light represented the Divine Trade Association.
This was common sense that every cultivator learned when they embarked on their cultivation journey.
As such, the person before Ying Wuji’s eyes was indeed from Thousand Demon Ridge.
“Oh?” Lu Ye sounded surprised. “I’m just cultivating my power here. Why are you even scared?”
“I’ve mistaken you for soone else,” Ying Wuji explained and sized up Lu Ye. “You look identical to him!”
“Soone else…” Behind the face mask, a glint flashed across Lu Ye’s eyes. “It seems that you’ve been traumatised by that person.”
Ying Wuji let out a sigh. “It’s a long story. You have no idea how horrible he is. He slaughters people like they’re animals, and he’s vengeful. There’s no doubt he’s vile. Unfortunately, he’s powerful, so I’m no match for him. That’s embarrassing.”
He shuddered all of a sudden as he t eyes with Lu Ye. For so reason, he had a feeling that the person before his eyes wanted to kill him.
“Have you offended him in any way?” Lu Ye lowered his gaze.
Ying Wuji replied, “Well, it doesn’t matter if I’ve offended him. He’s from the Grand Sky Coalition, so he’s an opponent of cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge like us.”
