The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 248 An inn is fine! What is Youluo afraid of? My lord, I have a secret to tell you!

Youluo felt that if they really encountered a cultivator who had undergone a tribulation... it was uncertain who would rob whom.

"There's still plenty of time, so there's no need to rush the journey," Lu Ye said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Youluo suddenly blushed, as if she had thought of something.

Fortunately, the face mask prevented her husband from seeing everything.

This area is close to the Eastern Border and originally had several villages, but since the Northern Border experienced a series of village annihilation incidents...

Even though the area is temporarily safe and unaffected, the villagers still fled the village, with those having relatives going to seek refuge with relatives in the city.

Those who have no relatives in the city would rather stay in the town and do odd jobs than not stay.

Looking at a lifeless village in the distance, Youluo said angrily, "These evil sorcerers are truly hateful."

"If you were to advance to the Grandmaster level, what would your chances of winning against the Five Poisons Sect Leader, who has also advanced to the Grandmaster level?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked.

"If we use all our methods, we should have a 70-80% chance of winning." Youluo thought for a moment, then said with some distress, "The main problem is his poison skills; they're too powerful, and Youluo can't withstand them."

Given the Five Poisons Sect Master's mastery of poison techniques, Youluo felt that if a real fight broke out, she would probably be silently struck by his poison hundreds of meters away from the other side.

"Poisonous techniques, huh..."

A thoughtful look flashed in Lu Ye's eyes. Poison is indeed a troublesome thing for most people, as it is silent and difficult to guard against.

Fortunately, the thing he fears least is poison.

It seems the safest course of action is for me to also advance to the Grandmaster level and take down the Five Poisons Sect leader in one fell swoop! Giving the Five Poisons Sect no chance to turn the tide.

"By the way, my lord, why aren't you so afraid of poison?" Youluo asked curiously, recalling the incident with Yin Wuyai.

She was so poisoned that she was unconscious, but her husband was still able to take her away.

With a slight smile, Lu Ye said, "Perhaps it's a natural talent, or perhaps the poison will knock you down within five steps, while I only take four steps each time before changing my rhythm."

Youluo: "..."

This is a completely baffling statement.

A poison that will knock you out within five steps... but you won't be poisoned after four steps? Is this some kind of loophole?

Youluo rolled her eyes at Lu Ye, saying, "You're really joking."

Soon, the night passed, and the two continued their journey.

In order to get to Dongcang City as quickly as possible, the two of them did not hold back and traveled at high speed that day.

Finally, in the afternoon, we saw the enormous city that we had left less than a month ago.

After entering the city, Lu Ye didn't go anywhere else, but took Youluo directly to the inn.

"My lord, why are we going to the inn?" Youluo asked curiously.

"Don't ask too many questions, kid." Lu Ye said calmly, "Didn't you say you were coming along to keep watch for me? You're just responsible for following my instructions."

Youluo was dumbfounded. She... a child?!
How did these two words come about in her context?
However, an inn is just an inn! If my lord and husband dare to go, why shouldn't I, Youluo, dare to go?

After entering the inn, Youluo discovered that Lu Ye had booked two rooms...

It took him a lot of courage!

Time passed quietly, until late at night, when the number of pedestrians on the streets outside quickly decreased.

While Youluo was idly cultivating in her room, she finally received a message from Lu Ye from across the room.

It's time. I'll be waiting for you outside. Go out...

Immediately, Youluo perked up, finished her training, and lightly floated out of the inn's window. Outside the inn, under a large tree, Lu Ye, still dressed in black, had been standing there for what seemed like two minutes.

Youluo flashed to Lu Ye's side and whispered, "What are we going to do?"

Lu Ye glanced at her and calmly said, "Go to the Dongcang Stone Tablet."

Youluo: "???"

Wow... this is so explosive!
"Oh, you mean, let's try to make it onto the list?" Soon enough, Youluo wasn't stupid after all, and after understanding, she became a little excited.

Lu Ye put his hands behind his back and nodded.

After a while.

The vast Dongcang Square remains unchanged after a month, and the surrounding area is quiet.

Youluo landed on the plaza first, and cautiously looked around to make sure there was no one else besides them. The next second, she darted to the foot of the tall and ancient stone tablet.

Looking at this magical stone tablet that has witnessed the vicissitudes of time, Youluo also felt a sense of awe.

There are seven such stone tablets on the continent. She had already heard of them long before she fell into slumber, when she was still in the Nine Netherworld.

Last time she came to Dongcang, Youluo did not come to the stone tablet. Now, seeing the ancient stone tablet, she suddenly remembered a... very long-ago legend.

"My lord, come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

Youluo turned around and immediately beckoned Lu Ye over.

"what's up?"

"Come in just a little closer, this secret is very important! You absolutely cannot let anyone hear it!"

"Closer...closer!"

Looking at Youluo so close to him, Lu Ye said helplessly, "Can't you just tell me using the communication jade tablet?"

“That makes sense.” Youluo thought it made some sense. “But a secret should be revealed like this, that’s what makes it a secret.”

"I remember a rumor that there are seven stone tablets in total, and if you can successfully climb to the top of all seven tablets..."

"You will receive an unprecedented opportunity, unlike anything anyone has ever received before!"

Youluo said, "Of course, Youluo doesn't know if anyone has accomplished this feat tens of thousands of years ago."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye's heart stirred. Reaching the top of the Seven Monuments would bring him immense opportunities.
It's far more powerful than the feedback from the stone tablet itself.
If this secret rumor is true, we can take a look at the stone tablets in the other states when we have the chance.

Creating some distance between himself and Youluo, Lu Ye asked, "Would you like to go first, or should I?"

Youluo scratched her head and whispered, "Youluo can't climb any higher, my lord, have you forgotten that I am from the Nine Nether Clan, and my lifespan is much longer than that of you simple humans?"

"Moreover, I have been asleep for a very long time. Although I look young, in reality, according to the age of your human race, Youluo is already several hundred years old."

At this point, Youluo proudly puffed out her chest and said, "So, my lord husband... please stop treating Youluo like a child without any intelligence!"

"Go ahead, Youluo will keep watch for you!"

Lu Ye: “…”

His gaze fell on the stone tablet, and after a quick glance, Lu Ye found that there had been no changes since he last left.

The next instant, Lu Ye calmly stretched out one hand, his body soaring into the air, and the three large characters "Chen Beixuan" appeared out of thin air.

Then, it quietly disappeared into the Dongcang Stone Tablet!
Suddenly, the ranking of ancient stone tablets changed once again!
