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

"It's me. You're from the Wuji Dao Sect?" Lu Ye didn't deny it. These things were already common knowledge, so there was no need to deny them.

"It really is you. Rumors have it that you are young but capable of defeating a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm. As a disciple of the Wuji Dao Sect, I can't help but be curious."

The leader, a first-level Heavenly Realm cultivator from the Wuji Dao Sect, didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

Upon hearing this, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace slightly pursed her lips. Slaying a Grandmaster of the Earth Realm? When did this news become so outdated?

If she hadn't admitted defeat so quickly, she, a genuine second-level Heavenly Realm cultivator... might have already been killed!

"It's just an empty title; I actually love peace," Lu Ye said slowly.

After these words were spoken, some of the hundreds of cultivators present suddenly burst into laughter.

What did this notorious killer, who has risen to fame in recent years, say... that he loves peace?!
Even the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit, Xiao Yudie, almost couldn't hold back.

How could he say something so funny with such a straight face?

The Heavenly Realm Level 1 cultivator from the Wuji Dao Sect had a strange expression on his face and coughed, "Fellow Daoist Chen is indeed... humorous and witty."

Seeing the disbelief on most people's faces, Lu Ye could only show a hint of helplessness.

Why is it that when he tells the truth, no one is willing to believe him?
Looking at the people from the Wuji Dao Sect, who didn't seem to be there to cause trouble, Qingyu beside her also relaxed.

“These are all geniuses from top powers. The fact that they can now converse with the young master shows that the young master is also at this level.”

Thinking of this, Qingyu felt a little happy.

After all, in the cultivation world, strength and background have always been the most important factors.

The son-in-law has no background; he is able to communicate with these top figures on an equal footing entirely on his own merits!

At this moment, Xiao Yudie could no longer suppress her doubts and couldn't help but use telepathy to ask Lu Ye, "Was it you who advanced before?"

During this time, it felt like there was a cat scratching at her heart, and she couldn't find a definite answer, so it was hard for her to calm down.

Hearing the voice transmission from the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit, Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.

Why did she ask that? Was it just curiosity, or...?

"Why are you asking about this?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye replied telepathically.

Who advances in the Mystic Palace... probably won't affect her.

"I bet it was you, right? Such a wide, colorful auspicious cloud, even if an ordinary person advances to the Heavenly Realm, they simply cannot activate it," Xiao Yudie continued to transmit her voice.

Lu Ye: “…”

If you're so certain of your guess, why are you asking me?
"I guess so," Lu Ye gave an ambiguous answer.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yudie was completely dumbfounded by this answer.

What do you mean by "I guess so"?!

This is so blurry... How could someone with such thick eyebrows and big eyes be so mean?

If she had known better than to ask, Xiao Yudie felt rather depressed after receiving this answer.

The Holy Son Yuan Yang, standing nearby, looked over suspiciously. He had a feeling...

Was someone just using telepathy to communicate?
However, next to Yuan Yang Holy Son were Chen Beixuan and Hai Ling Holy Maiden.

The Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit was recently defeated by Chen Beixuan, so she should harbor hatred towards him now. Therefore, it's impossible that the two of them were communicating telepathically behind each other's backs.

...

After a full half-day.

Finally, someone timed it perfectly and realized that the spatial turbulence storm on the third level had weakened, so they prepared to go in and investigate. As the first group of people disappeared into the teleportation beams, more and more people began to rush towards the teleportation point.

The Palace of Mystery will be open for about ten days, and five days have already passed.

In the third layer, the situation is extremely complicated. Sometimes, in order to avoid large-scale, slow-moving storms, it is common to find a place to hide for half a day.

Therefore, if you're unlucky, the actual exploration time might only be two or three days.

"Young master, shall we go in together?"

Lu Ye glanced around. At this moment, the top-tier forces, including the Wuji Dao Sect, had also begun to take action.

"That should be enough, let's go..."

Lu Ye, carrying Qingyu, also headed towards the huge teleportation pillar.

Just then, the Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace, who was not far from Lu Ye, rolled her eyes and suddenly said, "After entering the third level, you should proceed with caution. I have other plans."

Although they had some doubts, the disciples of the Sea Spirit Palace nodded in agreement after hearing what the Holy Maiden had said.

"Yes, Senior Sister Yudie, you can go without worry."

The sentence felt a bit strange, but Xiao Yudie didn't have time to dwell on it. She quickly caught up with Lu Ye and the other person who were about to leave on the teleportation pillar.

Then, stepping on the tail of the teleportation beam, he grabbed... a piece of Lu Ye's clothing.

In an instant, it too vanished.

This scene caused the Holy Son of Yuanyang Palace to suddenly darken his eyes. Although he had conflicts with Xiao Yudie from time to time, it was undeniable that Xiao Yudie was an extremely outstanding female cultivator.

Deep down, Yuan Yang Shengzi secretly harbored a desire to possess her and make her his Daoist partner.

Unexpectedly, this situation has arisen.

What is Xiao Yudie up to?!

The cultivators around them stared wide-eyed, as if they had witnessed something unbelievable.

"No... am I seeing things?! Didn't Saintess Hailing get beaten up by Chen Beixuan before? How come she..."

"Holy crap!" someone cursed. "Could it be that the legendary thing about developing feelings for someone through a fight is actually true?!"

Not only were outsiders puzzled, but even Lu Ye was somewhat surprised.

After the teleportation light disappeared, the two... no, the three of them, appeared in a random area on the third floor of the Mystic Palace.

The terrifying aura emanating from all around was far more frightening than that of the second floor.

If you're below the Earth Realm level and have bad luck, you might not even last a few steps before you perish in the third layer of the Earth and become nourishment for the soil.

"Hey, what do you mean?"

Seeing the extra Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace, Lu Ye frowned and asked.

"First, my name isn't 'Hey,' it's Xiao Yudie. Second, I really do have something to do..."

The Holy Maiden of the Sea Spirit Palace hesitated to meet Lu Ye's gaze and whispered, "Um... I don't know much about the third level, but I do know of a very unique place. I wonder if you'd be interested?"

Hearing this, Lu Ye understood somewhat; it seemed she knew of a place of opportunity?
His eyes softened considerably, and Lu Ye said, "But then again, I, Chen, have always been happy to help others. If there's anything you need, just tell me, and I'll listen."

Xiao Yudie: "..."

Wait, how can this person... change their expression so quickly? (End of Chapter)
