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

"How could she be in the Black Tide Forbidden Zone, fighting against ferocious beasts...?"

Lu Ye frowned slightly, gazing at the distant battlefield.

The female cultivator was quite skilled; even when facing a peak fourth-tier ferocious beast, she was still able to fight it off and hardly fell into a disadvantageous position.

but……

With Lu Ye's current eyesight, he could see that the female cultivator was actually somewhat inferior to a peak fourth-order ferocious beast.

Furthermore, it seems that for some reason, it cannot unleash its full potential.

So, for now, it seems like a stalemate, but as soon as that female cultivator reveals a weakness...

The outcome would be extremely dangerous!

The female cultivator was none other than the former Fairy Chiyun, who had previously sent Lu Ye a message congratulating him on advancing to the Earth Realm.

Lu Ye never expected that when they met again, she would be deep in the Black Tide Forbidden Land, fighting with ferocious beasts, seemingly vying for something.

After a moment's thought, Lu Ye dashed over in that direction.

Soon, as Lu Ye approached, the peak fourth-tier ferocious beast was the first to spot him and originally intended to scare the human away.

But at this moment, Lu Ye did not conceal his aura.

This immediately caused the once ferocious fourth-tier peak beast to let out a terrified cry.

He didn't even bother with the former Fairy Chiyun in front of him anymore, and turned around and fled in an instant.

My God Beast God... Where did such a terrifying two-legged human come from?!

Xiao Qingyin, who had been fully focused on fighting this peak fourth-tier ferocious beast, was stunned when she discovered that her opponent had inexplicably vanished in a flash, as if some great terror had suddenly befallen her.

She was in the midst of a battle, and even she could sense it.

She couldn't defeat this peak fourth-tier ferocious beast in a short time, so naturally she couldn't obtain the early fifth-tier spiritual herb that the beast was guarding, which was about to mature.

The only option left is to retreat now and take advantage of the fact that the ferocious beast needs to protect the elixir to escape as quickly as possible.

Another option was to fight to the death, and Xiao Qingyin chose the second option.

After hearing about Lu Ye, Xiao Qingyin's feelings changed drastically.

Unexpectedly, this misfortune turned into a blessing, as he broke through the barrier of the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm and successfully entered the ninth level.

He was only one step away from becoming a Grandmaster, a position he had longed for.

This was something Xiao Qingyin never expected. Before, when she was in the Crimson Cloud Sect, no matter how much she cultivated, she felt that her advancement speed was not fast enough. She did not expect that after leaving the Crimson Cloud Sect, her temperament would change and she would become different.

Even so, Xiao Qingyin's emotions remained very complicated.

After all, for her, the Crimson Cloud Sect was the place she wanted to dedicate her life to.

However, because of her choice, she simply gave away a pillar of strength that could support the sect for generations to come...

Therefore, with a resolute heart, the former Fairy Crimson Cloud resolutely entered the Black Tide Forbidden Land.

Then, deep inside, they encountered this fifth-tier spiritual herb that was about to mature.

With a do-or-die mentality, Xiao Qingyin directly engaged in a fierce battle with the guardian beast.

If successful, one can obtain spiritual medicine, which will help one break through to the Grandmaster realm. If unsuccessful... there will be no future.

The Black Tide Forbidden Zone is where I will be buried.

Now that her opponent had fled, Xiao Qingyin finally sensed the presence of a living person rapidly approaching from behind.

Turning my head, I saw...

Xiao Qingyin's eyes widened immediately, almost doubting whether she was imagining things. How could that person possibly be there?!

He could be anywhere right now, but he definitely couldn't be in the Black Tide Forbidden Zone...

Therefore, Xiao Qingyin couldn't help but reach out and rub her eyes.

Seeing this outrageous behavior, Lu Ye, who was walking from the opposite side, shook his head helplessly.

"It really is you?! What are you doing in the Black Tide Forbidden Zone...?"

A moment later, Xiao Qingyin was stunned to find that the figure in front of her was still real and had not disappeared like a mirage. She couldn't help but ask.

"You came here because you wanted to. What are you doing in the forbidden area?" Lu Ye asked calmly.

"Didn't you realize that you're actually no match for that peak fourth-tier ferocious beast?"

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

Could she say... how could she not have noticed?
only……

After a moment of silence, Xiao Qingyin nodded and said, "I've noticed it. It is indeed stronger than me."

"So, you're fighting to the death like this because you don't want to live?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked.

When asked this question, Lu Ye was simply wondering if the former Fairy Chiyun really couldn't see that even the most tenacious fight to the death was basically a dead end.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyin remained silent for a moment, then actually nodded: "You figured that out too..."

Lu Ye: “???”

No, he just said it casually, and it actually came right?!
If I had this ability in my past life, back when I took the college entrance exam... that would have been incredible.

"You really don't want to live anymore?"

Lu Ye's expression was somewhat strange. Why did he suddenly become so lifeless? He found it rather puzzling.

Just then, a refreshing fragrance wafted from the side, and one could feel that the flow of the source energy in their body seemed to speed up slightly.

Lu Ye looked up and saw that it was a fifth-order spiritual herb, now fully mature, and the fragrance was coming from it.

"That ferocious beast was scared away because of your arrival. You can take this spiritual herb." Xiao Qingyin said calmly after glancing at the herb.

"So you were after this spiritual herb. No wonder I said you weren't the kind of person who would recklessly challenge a peak fourth-tier ferocious beast." Lu Ye nodded, somewhat understanding, and said.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

Why did she feel like Lu Ye was using this opportunity to scold her?

After a pause, Lu Ye continued, "It's no use for me to hold it, you should take it off."

He still had quite a few of these fifth-grade spiritual herbs in his storage ring.

At this point, he no longer needed the basics; he saved them for Jiang Lingyue and the others.

Seeing that Lu Ye said this, I knew that for him now, a fifth-grade spiritual herb was indeed completely beneath his notice.

Xiao Qingyin swiftly approached the newly matured medicinal herb and plucked it.

"Thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I definitely wouldn't have been able to defeat that ferocious beast."

"What are you looking for in this forbidden area?" Xiao Qingyin asked.

"No, I just came in to take a look around." Lu Ye shook his head.

Within the forbidden area, there are very few spiritual herbs that exceed the fifth rank. The fifth rank is basically the peak, and the sixth rank is extremely difficult to encounter. Lu Ye did not see a single one along the way.

So, it's not wrong to say that they came in just to take a look. (End of Chapter)
