When the cultivators guarding the entrance heard Qian Wudang growl, they couldn’t help but hunch their backs. The next second, a wind blew past them as the Commander shot into the sky and disappeared from their sight soon.

They exchanged glances, not knowing what was going on.

Qian Wudang could move swiftly, so he left Grand Sky City in the blink of an eye. But the next instant, he returned and headed towards a particular place in the city.

A moment later, he landed in a courtyard where there was a righteous-looking and energetic old man who was enjoying tea. The person was none other than the Sect Master of the Crimson Blood Sect, Tang Yi Feng.

Qian Wudang’s purpose for the visit was simple. Since it was Lu Ye, a disciple of the Crimson Blood Sect, who caused the trouble, the Sect Master couldn’t sit back and do nothing.

Also, Qian Wudang knew that Tang Yi Feng wasn’t exactly an easygoing person. It would be better to take Tang Yi Feng with him than if he went there alone.

“Commander Qian?” Tang Yi Feng looked at the anxious Qian Wudang, wondering why the latter seemed to be in a hurry. Considering their cultivations, they were supposed to be calm and collected even if it was the end of the world.

“Something has happened, Elder Tang,” Qian Wudang quickly said as there wasn’t time for any small talk.

Tang Yi Feng took another sip of tea and said calmly, “Tell me slowly. You’re a Commander now, so you shouldn’t be anxious no matter what has happened. Otherwise, your subordinates will form some speculation.”

Qian Wudang thought that the Senior was right as he had indeed lost his composure. He took a deep breath and said, “You have a point, Elder Tang.”

Tang Yi Feng, “So, what has happened that even a Commander like you is flustered?”

Qian Wudang replied, “Your Sect’s disciple Lu Yi Ye went to Surging Waves Lake Pass and enlisted Xiao Xinghe of Blue Emperor City. They’re on their way back now.”

With a crack, the teacup in Tang Yi Feng’s hand fell apart. The next second, he shot into the sky and flew in the Surging Waves Lake Pass’ direction. He could move so swiftly that even Qian Wudang felt he wasn’t a match for him.

An air blast swept across the entire courtyard. As Qian Wudang’s clothes flapped in the air, he felt his eyelids twitching.

[Elder Tang is a Senior, after all. Despite my brief words, he has realised everything.]

…

The entire sky was void of any clouds.

Three figures were flying forward slowly. Lu Ye, who was at the head, was holding a ten-point map. According to the map, if they kept moving forward for 30 kilometres, they would leave the territory of Surging Waves Lake Pass.

If Liu Yuemei wanted to ambush them, she would wait until they had left her territory. In other words, she was probably hiding somewhere in front of them.

They had been moving at a slow pace along the way, so their speed naturally wasn’t comparable to that of a Divine Ocean Realm Master. If Liu Yuemei planned on ambushing them somewhere ahead of them, it would be feasible.

“Has the Commander replied to you, Lin Yinxiu?” Lu Ye asked.

Lin Yinxiu replied, “No.”

Lu Ye frowned. [What’s going on? I had seen the two of them being intimate in the hall of the Ministry of Laws. Since Lin Yinxiu is in danger, there’s no way Qian Wudang isn’t going to save her.]

After giving it some thought, he realised Qian Wudang might have been on his way. In that case, whether he replied to Lin Yinxiu didn’t matter.

At the thought of this, he stopped in his tracks and said, “Let’s stop.”

This place could be considered the edge of the territory of Surging Waves Lake Pass. Even if Liu Yuemei wanted to make a move, she wouldn’t do that here. As such, they would be safe by staying here. When Qian Wudang arrived and joined them, there wouldn’t be a chance for Liu Yuemei to harm them.

Most importantly, Lu Ye had to find out if Qian Wudang was indeed coming. If he wasn’t, Lu Ye would have to contact Tang Yi Feng.

Just as he was ready to tell Lin Yinxiu to send Qian Wudang a message, he suddenly felt his skin tightening. When he turned around, he saw a ray of light charging towards them. Despite the long distance, he could feel the murderous intent radiating from that person.

All three of them were shocked. What they had dreaded eventually happened. Liu Yuemei indeed wanted to end their lives, and she had gone so mad that she had decided to do so brazenly.

Lu Ye had initially speculated that Liu Yuemei would be hiding somewhere in front of them and waiting for a chance to make a move. Much to his surprise, the other party had no intention of hiding.

Liu Yuemei had probably wanted to wait for them to leave the territory of Surging Waves Lake Pass before launching an attack. However, when she saw them stopping in their tracks, she couldn’t wait any longer. As such, she immediately decided to make a move.

Now, it seemed that she hadn’t been hiding somewhere in front of them. Instead, she had been tailing them. Since she was a Divine Ocean Realm Master, there was no way Lu Ye and the others could detect her presence.

“Let’s part ways!” Lu Ye immediately made a decision. As his Spiritual Power surged, a pair of red wings spread from behind him. With the blessing of Windwalk, he charged forward at full speed.

There was no doubt he was Liu Yuemei’s main target, so he had to part ways with them. Only then would they be safe.

If they wanted to survive, it depended on how long Lu Ye could hold on. As long as he wasn’t dead, they would be safe. Once he was killed, Liu Yuemei would run after them and end their lives.

As soon as Lu Ye started running, Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu did the same.

Both of them were intelligent, so they wouldn’t hold Lu Ye back at this point. They were not so foolish as to be determined to go to Hell with Lu Ye. They quickly activated their Spiritual Powers and flew away. Soon enough, they were moving in two directions.

Around ten breaths of time later, Liu Yuemei arrived at the spot where they had stood, which went to show how swift she was.

As expected, she ignored Xiao Xinghe and Lin Yinxiu. She went straight to Lu Ye as he was her main target.

Although Lu Ye had fully activated his power to hasten his pace, he still couldn’t fly faster than a Divine Ocean Realm Master. The gap between them was shortening fast.

Just as Liu Yuemei was close enough to make a move, Lu Ye growled, “Liu Yuemei, how dare you do such a despicable thing!? If I survive today, I’ll be sure to end your life one day!”

Liu Yuemei ignored him. Even though she was hunting them down despite her identity, she understood that the best way to deal with this situation was to remain silent.

Presently, she was wearing a face mask to conceal her face. She had even changed into different clothes. As long as she refused to acknowledge she had killed Lu Ye after the incident, no one could hold her accountable.

It wouldn’t be hard for a Seventh-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master like her to kill a Third-Order Real Lake Realm Master. When she was done sending Lu Ye to Hell, she had sufficient time to run after the other two people.

Behind the face mask, Liu Yuemei appeared icy while looking at the figure in front of her. As she activated her Divine Ego, an invisible force charged towards Lu Ye and struck him.

What happened next surprised her. The attack she thought would badly injure the other party wasn’t effective at all. Lu Ye didn’t even flinch. He continued flying forward at full speed as though nothing had happened.

Liu Yuemei was puzzled, but that didn’t stop her from launching another Soul Attack. Unfortunately, it still wasn’t effective.

She couldn’t help but be astonished, wondering if Lu Ye was wearing a treasure that could fend off Soul Attacks, which was why her attacks were rendered useless.

But was there such a treasure in this world?

It was claimed that some treasures could ward off Soul Attacks, but they weren’t so useful. They could only protect the users from the repercussions. Once the people wearing them were directly targeted, the treasures weren’t so effective.

That was the reason Real Lake Realm Masters were powerless against Divine Ocean Realm Masters.

Liu Yuemei didn’t make the third attempt. Since the first two times were useless, it was pointless for her to keep doing that. She fully activated her Spiritual Power and hastened her pace.

Lu Ye felt that it was such a shame. He had certainly detected Liu Yuemei using Soul Attacks. However, since there was a long distance between them, he couldn’t use the Sword of Divine Destruction. Otherwise, he would’ve let her have a taste of it.

The gap between them was still shortening. Around ten breaths of time later, Lu Ye felt a violent surge of Spiritual Power behind him. He turned his head and saw Liu Yuemei extending her hand towards him. At that moment, she formed a huge illusory palm using her Spiritual Power as it charged forward.

Lu Ye was almost killed by the same kind of attack when he disguised himself as Li Taibai previously. Naturally, he was aware of how powerful the attack was.

He quickly turned around and unsheathed his Inviolable Saber. As he activated his Spiritual Power, his mind was fully focused.

At that instant, Lu Ye felt as if he was among countless Stars as a Moon rose from behind him. He wielded his saber as a Saber Light in the shape of a crescent moon swept across the illusory hand.

It was the second move of Tyrant Blade Technique, Lone Moon!

Whooshes were continuously heard. Although the power of the illusory hand had been weakened, it was still coming right at Lu Ye as there was a huge gap between their powers.

Lu Ye wielded his saber again and built an abstruse Glyph on the blade. It was the Returning Moon!

The illusory hand struck Lu Ye. Although he was well-prepared to deal with it, he still felt giddy upon impact. He felt like a boat floating on an ocean. It was as if he would capsize and drown at any moment.

Fortunately, he made use of the impact and flew further away from the woman. Before he even stabilised himself, a Glyph had formed.

As his Spiritual Power surged, he built a Glyph on himself. If he was stripped bare, he would be seen with a body full of complicated patterns of Yin and Yang.

The next second, the Yin and Yang peeled off from his body but still retained the contour. A figure identical to Lu Ye was instantly formed.

It was the Spectral Image! Lu Ye had never used the Glyph against his enemies. He had only used it multiple times in the Rift of Illusions to get used to its effect.

The Glyph couldn’t be used to hurt the enemies. It was used to save him from dangerous situations like this.

As soon as her Spiritual Power calmed, Liu Yuemei saw a puzzling sight. She could see two figures of Lu Ye in front of her. Both figures radiated Spiritual Lights, so she couldn’t tell which one was the real Lu Ye.

“Is it a Soul Clone?” She was shocked.
