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

Chapter 387 Saintess Xihe captures Lu Ye! The Starfall Spirit Sword holds a hidden opportunity; will the two cooperate?

At this moment, Lu Ye was not in the cave where Jiang Qingge lived.

After all, even with the formation set up, the source energy there was not enough for two high-level cultivators to cultivate at the same time.

Moreover, one of these two is Lu Ye, a major consumer of Origin Qi.

Lu Ye was on the other side of the mountain range at that moment.

Feeling his cultivation level enter the mid-stage of the sixth level of the mortal realm Grandmaster, he opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air.

"That night, the two people from Tianmu Mansion gave me the feeling that they were both at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm Grandmaster... I suppose they were one of the dozen or so Mortal Realm Grandmasters in Tianmu Mansion, and the most outstanding among them."

The pressure exerted by the peak strength of such a hidden spiritual place is indeed immense.

Although his promotion speed is not slow, Lu Ye is still not very satisfied.

To eliminate the threat posed by the Heavenly Curtain Palace, one must at least be able to contend with its three Earth Realm elders.

Then... you'll need the strength of a Grandmaster of the Earth Rank!
After thinking it over, Lu Ye decided to return to Yunye City first.

Although Jiang Qingge had reminded the family half a month ago, Lu Ye still planned to go back and take a look.

Perfect timing, I happen to have something I don't need either.

Thinking of this, Lu Ye mentioned his plan to Jiang Qingge.

"You can go back and check on me. I'll be fine here. I'm a martial arts master, after all." Jiang Qingge immediately said that she was okay with it when she heard Lu Ye's idea.

Although her martial arts master title is somewhat inflated for now, her combat strength is quite different from that of a normal master.

However, relying on the power of the Grandmaster-level Origin Qi, he can easily deal with ordinary late-stage Innate Realm cultivators.

Unlike the East, the North has very few martial arts masters, and even fewer late-stage Innate Realm masters.

Nodding, Lu Ye left the mountain range and headed towards Cloud Leaf City.

An hour later...

Lu Ye successfully arrived in Yunye City.

First, he went back to the Jiang family and told the Jiang family head, Jiang Lianshan, about the matter again, telling them not to take it lightly.

If you notice anything unusual, move to another location immediately.

At the same time, he also took out a low-grade Earth-rank martial skill that he had won in several previous ordinary lottery draws.

"Father-in-law, try to see if you can learn this martial art."

Lu Ye handed the manual to Jiang Lianshan and said, "This is a low-grade Earth-rank palm technique called Xuanfeng Palm. If you have a trustworthy family elder, you can let them practice it."

Earth-rank martial arts technique?!
Upon hearing these four words, Jiang Lianshan was immediately shaken. His Jiang family had never possessed a Earth-rank martial skill before!

This martial art is extremely precious to the Jiang family!
This is a rather special time, and Jiang Lianshan did not refuse.

He nodded, took the Earth-rank martial arts manual, and said, "Son-in-law, don't worry, I will handle the family affairs."

Watching Lu Ye turn and leave, Jiang Lianshan was filled with emotion.

It wasn't until those news gradually spread that Jiang Lianshan realized that his son-in-law was actually so calm and patient.

At first, many people in the Jiang family looked down on him, but Lu Ye was able to treat them calmly, as if they were a rock.

This kind of mentality is something that even those of them who have lived to be nearly a hundred years old and are about to become old men are ashamed of.

"With Earth-rank martial arts techniques, aside from my son-in-law, if my Jiang family has enough good fortune... perhaps we can advance to become a Grandmaster family!"

Jiang Lianshan held the secret manual in his hand.

What Lu Ye gave him was a heavy gift that would be a great honor for any innate family.

...

Meanwhile, Lu Ye had already left the Jiang family home amidst the respectful greetings of two guards.

The moment he stepped out, a masked woman on the street not far away suddenly widened her eyes.

Since he had returned to the Jiang family, Lu Ye was naturally in his original form.

After learning that Jiang Qingge's husband was very likely the one who took the Starfall Spirit Sword that day, Saintess Xihe had already memorized Lu Ye's appearance through methods such as the image-recording stone.

Upon seeing Lu Ye, he recognized him immediately.

"Finally... we caught him!"

Lu Ye immediately saw the Holy Maiden Xihe again, whom he had encountered once before in the Eastern and Northern Territories. Lu Ye was immediately surprised.

What's this holy maiden, who seems to be from a major sect in Yunzhou, doing here?!
Is something not quite right...?

She should be in the Eastern Territory, or have already returned to Yunzhou.

Looking at the wide-eyed, excited Saintess Xihe not far away, Lu Ye knew that she must have recognized him.

That being the case...

Lu Ye remained calm and immediately left from in front of the Jiang residence.

Behind her, Saintess Xihe came to her senses and immediately followed.

"Don't run away... I mean you no harm, I'm here to ask you for a collaboration!"

Seeing that Lu Ye seemed to want to speed up and leave Yunye City, Saintess Xihe quickly transmitted her voice.

While still in Yunye City, Lu Ye didn't unleash his full speed, only walking slightly faster than an ordinary person. Once he left Yunye City...

They're probably about to run away!

Therefore, Saintess Xihe immediately explained her purpose: she was not a bad person!
Lu Ye remained unmoved by the telepathic message.

They continued at a rapid pace, crossing the streets and heading towards the outskirts of Cloudleaf City.

Cooperation?

What would we do in cooperation?
He had no idea what the two sides could accomplish through cooperation.

Unexpectedly, the next second, seeing Lu Ye walking faster and faster, Nangong Xihe gritted her teeth and unleashed her ultimate move.

"I really am here to seek your cooperation. The Starfall Spirit Sword in your hand... holds a hidden opportunity!"

In an instant...

Lu Ye stopped in his tracks.

In her haste, Nangong Xihe, who had been following behind, almost bumped into him.

However, being a Grandmaster-level figure, he controlled his movements very well and suddenly brought the car to a stop.

"What did you say?"

Seeing that this person was finally willing to talk to her, Nangong Xihe secretly breathed a sigh of relief and transmitted her voice.

"This isn't the place to talk. Come with me to the grove outside the city..."

Lu Ye: “???”

About two hundred miles outside Yunye City, in a small grove of trees.

Two figures landed on the spot one after the other, and at the same time, two barriers were released from their hands.

Cover this area to prevent passersby from eavesdropping.

The first person to land was Saintess Xihe, and she was also the first to set up the soundproof barrier.

However, seeing that Lu Ye, who had acted slightly later than him, had set up a protective shield that was much stronger than his own, he realized that Lu Ye's shield was much stronger than his own.

A faint sense of powerlessness arose in her heart.

This pretty boy...

Back when we were vying for the Starfall Spirit Sword in the Eastern Territory, I felt he wasn't a match for me; he was only relying on his lover's strength...

A complete gigolo!

How come he's completely different now that we've only been apart for a short time?

"Alright, tell me, what exactly is this so-called Spirit Sword Treasure Trove?" Lu Ye said calmly.

Taking a deep breath and gathering her thoughts, Nangong Xihe said, "This is absolutely true. The Starfall Spirit Sword is indeed related to a secret treasure..."

At this point, Nangong Xihe paused slightly, then changed the subject, saying with a hint of helplessness.

"However, for now, I can only tell you some basic information, because you are stronger than me now. If I tell you everything without reservation, and you leave me behind to explore on your own, there is nothing I can do."

Saintess Xihe made no attempt to hide anything and spoke quite frankly.

She was afraid that this pretty boy would take advantage of her and then turn his back on her.
