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

The leader of this team is a cultivator at the fifth level of the Earth Realm.

When they saw the people from the Heavenly Palace on the outskirts of the swamp, they first showed a hint of doubt.

Then, shifting my gaze, I looked past the swampy area and towards the deep, dark lake...

Upon seeing this, the leader, a fifth-level Earth Realm cultivator, immediately narrowed his eyes and exclaimed, "A sixth-grade top-quality spiritual herb... the Azure Lotus?!"

Few cultivators at this level wouldn't recognize such a top-grade spiritual herb among sixth-tier cultivators.

After all, if you encounter a treasure but don't recognize it, wouldn't you miss out on many opportunities?

However, seeing those Heavenly Palace disciples eyeing him menacingly, this fifth-level Earth Realm leader knew that he alone could not break through their defenses.

Moreover, people had already begun preparing to harvest the fruit in the lake.

Immediately, the leader of the fifth level of the Earth Realm took out his communication jade tablet and sent a message to his friend.

Shake people!

Right now, the only option is to bring as many people as possible to stir up trouble, and maybe we can get a lotus seed or two.

In an instant, news of the Azure Lotus opportunity in this swampy land spread rapidly through the communication jade tablet.

In less than a minute, cultivators who happened to be within a thousand miles of the location arrived at the site.

But when they arrived and saw that the guards were actually from Lingyao Heavenly Palace, they immediately felt uneasy.

Although Sang Xiyao is no match for the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace, she is still a genuine ninth-level Earth Realm cultivator!

"Keep calling for more players!"

Meanwhile, nearly ten thousand miles away, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace was leading a group of disciples, preparing to head to the third level while hoping to encounter some resources.

Just then, a disciple of the Sea Spirit Hall took out a communication jade tablet and exclaimed in surprise, "Senior Sister Yu Die, we have made a major discovery!"

Xiao Yudie looked over in confusion: "Why are you making such a fuss?"

She felt that maintaining a calm and ordinary mind is also a very important aspect of cultivation for practitioners.

Only by remaining calm and composed can we better handle various situations.

Junior Brother Zhang's current overreaction is clearly unacceptable.

"Senior Sister Yudie, a friend of mine told me that a patch of Azure Lotus has appeared in the swampy area on the west side of the second floor! It seems... there's even a trace of Azure Spirit Lotus among them!"

"What? Azure Lotus...and Azure Spirit Lotus?!" Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace immediately became somewhat agitated.

If she could obtain some Azure Lotus Seeds, and even better if she could have one or two Azure Spirit Lotus Seeds, then reaching the third level of the Heavenly Realm would be a piece of cake.

"Hurry!" Immediately, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace led the way towards the swamp.

At this point, who cares about maintaining a calm mindset? Let's get there first!

call out!
The group from the Sea Spirit Palace rushed towards the swamp in an instant.

...

At this moment, at the edge of the lake.

Lu Ye also noticed that another team had arrived over there.

Frowning slightly, Lu Ye immediately sped up the collection process.

Before long, all the visible Lingyao in this area fell into the hands of the five people.

"Leave first, go, but don't go back the way you came. Use the communication jade tablet to contact the disciples outside."

Knowing that now was not the time for distribution, and that there were already people eyeing them covetously outside, Lu Ye immediately called to the other four, intending to exit from another side. This way, they could avoid the gaze of the cultivators outside.

Unexpectedly, the cultivators who had unexpectedly arrived here had already set their sights on them.

They swept away from the lakeside, and those people immediately followed in that direction.

The two groups of people were separated by a swampy area with ferocious crocodiles that stretched for several miles.

"It seems the allure of the Azure Lotus and those two spirit lotuses is too great; they don't seem willing to give them up." Seeing this situation, Sang Xiyao's expression hardened, and she said in a low voice.

Their team is currently stronger than the team that doesn't want to give up.

However, the commotion they made by taking out their communication jade tokens to call for help did not escape the notice of Sang Xiyao and the others.

Just then, other people arrived from the outside area.

Subsequently, as if some mechanism had been triggered, people began to rush to the location.

However, even though many people came, none of them reached the Heaven Realm; most were at the late Earth Realm, which was their peak.

Although they were a little nervous, Sang Xiyao and the others were still able to remain calm.

“There are more and more people, what should we do?” She couldn’t help but look at Lu Ye.

"Are you confident you can shake them off?" After a moment's thought, Lu Ye said in a deep voice, "Among these cultivators who have arrived, the highest level is currently two at the seventh level of the Earth Realm. I saw their speed when they came, so their movement techniques shouldn't be too outrageous."

Upon hearing this suggestion, the group thought about it and all nodded.

It's unrealistic to drive them away, and killing them all... that would take a lot of effort and would offend many powerful forces with connections.

After much thought, the only way out was to rely on speed to break through the encirclement and leave.

"If there are one or two fast ones, I will intercept them..." Before Lu Ye could finish speaking, he suddenly sensed something and looked at the outer edge of the swamp again.

There, several more groups of people rushed over, one of which was particularly powerful!
"It's over, the people from the Sea Spirit Palace... are here too."

One of the Heavenly Palace cultivators at the seventh level of the Earth Realm immediately spoke in a low voice.

The people of the Sea Spirit Palace are just above the people of the Heavenly Palace in strength, and the leading Sea Spirit Saintess is more than capable of easily suppressing Sang Xiyao.

Unlike the cultivators, the arrival of the Sea Spirit Saintess and her entourage immediately made them feel intense pressure.

Outside the swamp, Xiao Yudie, who had just arrived, suddenly saw a group of people on the other side of the several-mile-wide swamp...

Lu Ye, who was leading the way, stood out conspicuously.

"Chen...Bei...Xuan!"

At this moment, Xiao Yudie suddenly felt like she had searched high and low without finding it, only to have it come to her effortlessly.

When I was on the first floor, I chased him for a while but couldn't catch him. On the second floor, he cunningly escaped again.

Now that we've met again here, doesn't that mean even the heavens are on our side?

"I'd like to see...where else you can run this time."

Xiao Yudie was a genuine second-level Heavenly Realm cultivator and didn't take these swamp crocodiles lurking in the swamp seriously at all.

Even under the powerful pressure of gravity, it easily crossed the swamp and landed in front of Lu Ye and his team.

"So it was you who took these Azure Lotuses."

Xiao Yudie looked at Lu Ye with a very amused gaze, sizing him up and down several times, and said, "Aren't you very good at running? Run!"

"Just use a teleportation talisman or array plate to leave; I absolutely won't stop you." (End of Chapter)
