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

Inside a cave dwelling, Zhou Congzhou, the deputy sect leader of the Tianxuan Sect who now only has one arm, laughed loudly.

To be honest, Ren Congzhou didn't expect that the last operation would fail.

Chen Beixuan, in such a short time, already possesses the strength to kill someone at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm!
It's completely different from when we fought that battle back then.

It should be noted that at that time, he could only flee while being pursued by himself and the Old Demon of Refining Fire.

"I knew it... I knew it! The secret you hold is absolutely terrifying!"

In just a few months, he went from being hunted down by two people at the sixth or seventh level of the Mortal Realm to being able to kill someone at the ninth level of the Mortal Realm...

When Ren Congzhou thought of this, he suddenly felt that he knew a huge secret, but he had no way to hold it in his hands.

"It's hateful that he stumbled upon such an incredible opportunity!"

Ren Congzhou was somewhat unwilling, but after glancing at his missing arm, he ultimately dared not let greed continue to spread from the bottom of his heart.

However, being able to avenge his severed arm through someone else's hands was also a good thing for Ren Congzhou.

He instructed the disciples to keep a close eye on the matter and report back to him immediately if any news emerged. Ren Congzhou was prepared to receive news of that person's... demise.

Floating Cloud Mountain Range.

After Jiang Qingge finished decorating a room, she came out and found Lu Ye standing in the open space in front of the room, seemingly lost in thought.

However, judging from his expression, he didn't seem relaxed; he had a slightly furrowed brow.

"What's wrong? What happened?" After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qingge walked over and gently hugged Lu Ye from behind.

Although they didn't go all the way to the final step, Jiang Qingge was already quite adept at kissing and hugging.

"It's nothing, just a small matter."

Lu Ye snapped out of his reverie, smiled, and said, "I might have to go away for a while again, so I'll leave this place to you for now."

"Okay, you can go about your business." Hearing this, Jiang Qingge nodded.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Qingge asked, "By the way, can I tell my sister about this place? Or should I keep it from her for now and tell her later?"

Jiang Qingge did not make a decision on her own regarding this matter, but instead consulted Lu Ye.

Lingyue...

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and nodded, saying, "Tell her that if she wants to come and see, you can bring her if you have time."

To be honest, Jiang Lingyue was the first person I was closest to. If I didn't tell her, she would definitely accuse me of favoritism when she found out.

They kept this from her.

"I go first."

After giving his instructions, Lu Ye left the mountain range without lingering there.

Watching Lu Ye leave, Jiang Qingge bit her lip slightly, and then told her younger sister, who was far away in Wuxiang Mountain, about it.

The reason she said this is because she genuinely felt that her younger sister... might be a different kind of "sister".

Therefore, Jiang Qingge decided to take advantage of this time to subtly probe the matter.

If it's true, although it's frustrating, but...

"Ugh……"

Thinking of this, Jiang Qingge sighed softly.

What is this thing called?
The Jiang family took in a son-in-law, but in the end... it's possible that the two sisters also got involved. "Next, we'll see if the younger sister has time to come over."

After leaving the Floating Cloud Mountains, Lu Ye chose a secluded place hundreds of miles away for his seclusion.

Lu Ye's goal was to improve his current strength as much as possible before any new information came from Youluo.

A slight advantage in strength increases the chances of escaping unscathed.

The reason for not fully secluded cultivation in the Floating Cloud Mountains was that he did not want to cause large-scale changes in the source energy of heaven and earth, thereby attracting passing cultivators.

As the resources he had acquired over the years were transformed into energy and entered Lu Ye's dantian, his cultivation level soared from the early stage of the second level to the middle stage.

Two days later...

Lu Ye successfully entered the mid-stage of the second level of the Earth Realm!

Lu Ye continued to take out resources from his storage ring, not stopping there, since there was still no news from Youluo's side.

At this time, the sapling is still absorbing the source energy within the Myriad Paths Pavilion to develop.

However, Lu Ye did not wait for the sapling to fully absorb the energy. He took it out directly, intending to convert this energy into part of himself.

As a result, Lu Ye's strength increased rapidly once again.

On the other hand, Youluo had actually gathered some information; the other party's whereabouts were not being concealed.

Moreover, they made no attempt to conceal their identity; they were recognized by knowledgeable cultivators as early as the first city.

In the Hidden Spirit Land, Xiao Zheng, a realm elder of the Qingyin Sect!
Upon hearing this name, Youluo quickly sent someone to investigate Xiao Zheng's information. After the investigation, she immediately felt...

The sky is falling!
This person is not only an elder of a first-class force in the Hidden Spirit Land, but also a cultivator at the fourth level of the Earth Realm!
If this were ten thousand years ago, facing such an enemy, Youluo could have shattered his soul with a mere wave of her hand.

But now... that won't work.

The fourth level of the Earthly Realm must be an absolutely terrifying enemy for both her and her lord/husband.

"What should we do... Maybe we shouldn't tell him this yet!"

The news had reached Youluo half a day ago, and she was currently caught in a dilemma.

Without a doubt, the Earth Realm Elder from the Hidden Spirit Land must also possess supernatural abilities.

They are not so easy to deal with, especially since there is a gap in their cultivation levels that is overwhelming!
Just then, footsteps sounded outside again, and an elder from the Youluo Sect hurried into the hall.

"Sect Master, we have received new information. That Grandmaster of the Earth Realm from the Hidden Spirit Land... is heading towards Yinmang Mountain in the Northern Territory!"

"What is he doing at Yinmang Mountain?" Upon hearing this, Youluo frowned deeply beneath her black robe.

"It seems that his worthless disciple perished on Yinmang Mountain, so... he hopes to compete with Chen Beixuan on Yinmang Mountain." The elder of Youluo Sect said, "That Earth Realm Grandmaster said that he didn't want to involve others and that it would be best for Chen Beixuan to appear on Yinmang Mountain on his own initiative."

"Isn't this shameless?" Youluo said angrily.

They've already resorted to threats, yet they act as if they disdain engaging in blackmail.

Elder of the Youluo Sect: "..."

Looking at the sect leader, whose emotions seemed somewhat off, the elder was slightly puzzled.

This shouldn't have anything to do with the Youluo Sect, right? They're just spectators. Why does the sect leader seem... like he's getting involved himself?
“The Chen family of Luohua was threatened before…” Youluo thought for a long time, and finally could only sigh helplessly.

It seems they want to keep it a secret from Lu Ye, so he won't find out later...

I'm definitely going to scold myself! (End of Chapter)
