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

At the mountaintop, Lu Ye felt somewhat helpless; it was clearly his own supernatural power.

But why did he feel that the phantom of the divine bird Vermilion Bird... looked at him, its master, with such aloofness?

Isn't that a bit too aloof?

However, watching the Vermilion Bird phantom, burning with divine fire and possessing unparalleled divine power, pursue them with its spiritual energy, Lu Ye felt...

It was, after all, a spiritual bird nurtured by top-tier supernatural powers.

Considering how strong it is, I won't bother with these trivial matters.

the other side.

Xiao Zheng frantically fled towards the outside of Yinmang Mountain, a scene that left countless cultivators around Yinmang Mountain dumbfounded.

"Who was that who escaped?! Was it Senior Bei Xuan, or that Grandmaster of the fourth level of the Earth Realm from the Hidden Spirit Land?"

"It doesn't look like it. Didn't Senior Bei Xuan say it was a young man? This person looks to be at least over a hundred years old."

"Hiss... No way, does that mean the Grandmaster of the Earth Realm from the Hidden Spirit Land chose to escape? Wait... something's chasing after him!"

Soon, everyone discovered that behind the fleeing figure, there was another red figure, chasing after it like a shooting star.

What on earth is chasing after someone at the fourth level of the Earth Realm?!
Many people stared at this scene in disbelief, some even finding it hard to believe their eyes.

"It looks like... a large bird? And it's red?"

"It's surrounded by flames, it looks so strange, it can't be an ordinary bird!"

"Nonsense, what ordinary bird could look so majestic? This is clearly a spirit beast! And not just any spirit beast, it can hunt down a Earth Realm cultivator... it must be at least on par with an Earth Realm cultivator!"

Where had these people ever seen such a terrifying divine bird before, one that could hunt down even a fourth-level Earth Realm cultivator?

Xiao Zheng suddenly turned around and stared at the red light, his body trembling.

They followed us?!

Moreover, his speed was even greater than mine. How could that young man possess such terrifying supernatural abilities!
The next instant, the fiery red divine bird caught up with Xiao Zheng and easily tore apart Xiao Zheng's Earth Realm shield, which was enough to make ordinary early Earth Realm cultivators despair.

With his pupils wide open, Xiao Zheng didn't even have a chance to burn his essence and lifespan to escape into the void before he was completely turned into a puddle of black ash and fell down from mid-air.

A powerful Grandmaster at the fourth level of the Earth Realm, who was renowned throughout Xuanzhou, was reduced to a pile of black ash in the blink of an eye!
In that instant, the area within a hundred miles of Yinmang Mountain was completely silent.

Everyone stared blankly at the distant sky, at the red shadow that glowed with a faint red light, like an ancient divine bird incarnate.

The tremor in his eyes was impossible to conceal.

In the sky, after burning and annihilating Xiao Zheng, the phantom of the Vermilion Bird looked in the direction of Lu Ye.

Then, a clear melody resounded in all directions.

"Wow!"

His entire body, engulfed in divine fire, began to slowly dissolve into nothingness, eventually disappearing into the world.

For many, the sight reflected in the sky was a scene they knew they would likely never forget...

The summit of Yinmang Mountain has now completely changed.

Within a few hundred meters of the cliff edge, the land looked as if it had been plowed through, riddled with cracks and pits...

At the summit, countless cultivators gazed at the spot within a hundred meters where only Lu Ye stood, their hearts filled with endless shock and fear.

At the same time, there was also a faint sense of pride, a shared pride in being from the North… To see someone from the North possess such terrifying strength, even surpassing the self-proclaimed superior Grandmasters of the Earth Realm who emerged from the Hidden Spirit Land…

It is also impossible to cut off their path forward.

The impact on these cultivators was indeed enormous.

Before Lu Ye could say anything, a figure in black robes suddenly took to the air and headed towards the area where the mythical bird Vermilion Bird had disappeared into the distance.

A moment later, the figure in black robes returned, holding a somewhat charred storage ring in his hand.

Since Xiao Zheng's previous speculation had already reached the ears of many cultivators, Youluo did not pretend that she did not know Lu Ye at all.

After landing, he came to Lu Ye's side and handed the storage ring to Lu Ye.

"Here, for you..."

Without a storage ring, Lu Ye glanced indifferently at the black-robed Youluo, said nothing, and turned to leave from the mountaintop.

Upon receiving that look, Youluo, hidden beneath her black robe, immediately panicked.

Looking at the shocked cultivators behind her, Youluo disregarded everything else and quickly followed after them.

The thousands of cultivators who had rushed over remained, gazing at the devastated mountaintop, still immersed in the earth-shattering battle that had just taken place.

A palm strike that opens the heavens, a mysterious finger strike, a bluebird wind blade... a divine bird descends!
Any one of these moves would be enough to kill an ordinary Earth Realm Grandmaster!
"Senior Bei Xuan has actually grown to the point where he can kill a Grandmaster at the fourth level of the Earth Realm..."

"I think that the person from the Hidden Spirit Land was wrong. At Senior Chen's age, he will probably reach the Heavenly Realm in less than a hundred years!"

Heavenly Realm...

Upon hearing this, countless cultivators on the mountaintop were shocked. Such a person probably doesn't even exist in Xuanzhou!
Only in places like the Hidden Spirit Land might a few such places exist.

There is truly hope in their northern borderlands, that such a figure will emerge!
Meanwhile, on the other side.

Lu Ye flew away from Yinmang Mountain at high speed, heading east for about three hundred miles until Yinmang Mountain was completely out of sight before stopping.

Sensing the figure following him, Lu Ye asked, "Why are you following me?"

Upon hearing this, the figure in black robes landed and quickly removed her mask, saying, "My lord, I am Youluo... If I don't go with you, then who will I go with?"

Seemingly noticing Lu Ye's somewhat cold expression, You Luo quickly put on a slightly ingratiating smile, darted in front of Lu Ye, and presented the treasure she had retrieved: the storage ring containing Xiao Zheng's spoils of war.

“My lord, these are your spoils of war. Youluo has retrieved them for you.”

When Lu Ye didn't answer back at Yinmang Mountain, Youluo noticed something was wrong.

Now that Lu Ye was asking her why she was following him, something was clearly wrong, so she quickly put on a smile.

"Why are you following me? You never even consult me ​​before doing anything. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'd probably be collecting your corpse by now."

Lu Ye glanced at Youluo, who was trying to curry favor, and said coldly.

If it's an unexpected event, such as being suddenly chased and found in a dangerous situation, then there's nothing that can be done.

Youluo clearly knew that her silent attack would put her in danger.

For Lu Ye, this was simply adding unnecessary risks.

Therefore, Lu Ye's purpose this time was to bring her to her senses. (End of Chapter)
