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

"I'd go crazy too! Senior Sister Jiang, she..."

At this moment, several disciples of the sect near the mountain gate took out their recording stones.

Such a shocking scene is hard to believe if told to others, so recording it would be more convincing.

Jiang Lingyue saw this, but she didn't care at all.

Jiang Lingyue had this very idea in mind when she asked Lu Ye to escort her to the mountain gate.

During this period, almost every day someone would appear on the route to and from Danfeng, pretending to bump into her. Jiang Lingyue was actually getting a little annoyed.

This is the perfect opportunity!
Satisfied, Jiang Lingyue released Lu Ye. Under the gaze of so many eyes, she felt a little shy, her cheeks flushed.

After releasing Lu Ye, he quickly whispered, "I'm going back now!"

Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Lingyue hurriedly entered the Wuxiang Sect's mountain gate.

Looking at Jiang Lingyue, who was running faster than a rabbit, and then at the Wuxiang Sect disciples around him who were clearly stunned, Lu Ye shook his head helplessly.

In a flash, he too left the Wuxiang Sect's mountain gate.

The disciples of Wuxiang Mountain were left standing there, looking at each other in bewilderment, feeling that the sect might be about to explode because of this...

...

After leaving Wuxiang Mountain, Lu Ye did not stay in the Northern Territory for long.

They swept across vast territories, heading straight for the Demon Saint State, which borders the northern border.

Several hours later, Lu Ye arrived at the northern border and successfully entered the Demon Saint State.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye decided to transform into Lu Yan and take the shortest route there.

Besides, he also wanted to see it.

Now, several months have passed. Is the Sirius Clan's territory still as heavily guarded as before?

The storage ring in Lu Ye's hand currently only contains some simple items; even the source crystals have been stuffed into the Myriad Paths Pavilion space.

Although I know that the investigators won't check everyone's storage ring, since that's a cultivator's private space.

However, just to be on the safe side, Lu Ye made a backup plan in advance.

Several hours later, they returned to the territory of the Sirius Clan.

They had only gone a short distance when, unsurprisingly, they were intercepted.

"Stop, we are conducting an investigation."

There were three or four other humans at this checkpoint.

However, these humans seemed to have gotten used to the commotion of the past few months, and they showed no emotion, calmly accepting the examination.

Seeing this, Lu Ye quietly blended into the group.

The check was very fast; one person could pass through in just a few minutes. Soon, it was Lu Ye's turn.

Looking at the members of the Sirius Clan conducting their routine inspection, Lu Ye asked, "Fellow Daoist of the Wolf Clan, how is it? Have you caught the person who dared to attack the princess?"

Upon hearing Lu Ye's question, the Sirius Clan member did not react immediately.

After a moment, she looked at Lu Ye in surprise and shook her head.

"It's not that easy. I've heard that human is very cunning. He probably already used other methods to slip out of the Demon Saint State."

Occasionally, human cultivators would come to inquire about this matter.

After all, most people can accept the examination, but they don't want to continue like this year after year.

Therefore, some people are asking about the results because they hope to end this investigation as soon as possible.

"Thank you." Lu Ye smiled faintly and cupped his hands in thanks to the Sirius Clan member.

Immediately, Lu Ye swiftly left the area. Behind him, the Sirius Clan member scratched his head, finding this human surprisingly polite.

Shaking their heads, the Sirius clansmen continued their undercover investigation.

Lu Ye then traveled smoothly through several checkpoints of the Sirius Clan before finally leaving their territory.

Half a day later, he arrived outside the Demon Saint City again.

The largest human city in the Demon Saint State remains bustling with activity.

After entering the city, Lu Ye found an inn.

I originally wanted a superior room, but to my surprise, the innkeeper said with a troubled expression.

"Sir, we are fully booked. We only have one lower-class room available. Is that alright with you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye immediately wanted to leave, as he was not short of money at all.

Unexpectedly, the waiter called out from behind, "Sir, you don't need to look outside. Most of the inns outside are already full."

"If we had come any later, this inferior room would probably have been taken up too."

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye stopped, raised an eyebrow, cupped his hands in greeting, and asked, "Waiter, what's going on?"

At that moment, there was nothing else to deal with, so the waiter draped the towel over his shoulder and said in a low voice.

"In three days, it will be the Hundred Saints Demon Festival, which the demon race holds once every five years. At that time, all the demon races in the Demon Saint State will send their representatives. Some demon races will even send their Demon Kings in person to the Demon Saint City!"

Lu Ye was somewhat surprised to hear what the waiter said.

Hundred Saints Festival?

But why is the festival of the demon race in the Demon Saint State being held in a human city?
Lu Ye asked in confusion, "Isn't this a festival of the demon race? Why is it being held inside the Demon Saint City?"

"Because of the Demon Saint Stele!" The waiter looked around before continuing in a low voice, "These kinds of demon activities require the use of a certain item to communicate and make contact with powerful demons in the upper realm."

"Subsequently, those young members of the demon race with certain qualifications can receive gifts from the demon race elders of the upper realm by touching the Demon Saint Stone Tablet, based on their own qualifications."

This waiter had clearly worked in the Demon Saint City for quite some time and was very knowledgeable about such matters.

Demon Saint Stone Tablet?

Lu Ye never expected that this stone tablet in the Demon Saint State would have such an effect.

Since that was the case, Lu Ye asked the innkeeper for the last room.

Immediately, Lu Ye decided to go out for a walk.

I asked at several inns along the way, and they all confirmed that the rooms were fully booked, proving that the waiter was not lying.

When Lu Ye arrived at the Demon Saint Stele Square, he found that the area within ten meters of the stele was now guarded.

Lu Ye: “?”

There are still three days until the event starts, but they've already taken control of the Demon Saint Stone Tablet. How can he make it onto the list?

The demons guarding this place are of different races, and each round requires about ten of them to be scattered around to guard the surroundings.

Lu Ye looked around and spotted a member of the Sirius Clan.

Immediately, Lu Ye put on a faint smile and walked over.

"This is a sacred site marked by the Demon Saint's Stone Tablet; unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering!"

Unexpectedly, when they were still five meters apart, the very serious Sirius clansman shouted.

In an instant, several pairs of eyes turned to look at Lu Ye from the side, staring intently at him.

Seeing this, Lu Ye knew that it was indeed impossible to quietly climb the rankings in the next few days. (End of Chapter)
