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

He had said long ago that he would wait for Jiang Qingge's memories to return.

Prior to this, he had not done anything that would hinder Jiang Qingge's recovery of strength after waking up.

Even when Jiang Qingge herself offered to do something, he refused.

Therefore, Lu Ye said this naturally: "I have a clear conscience."

Youluo said, "I feel that the Lord will accept you."

This wasn't something Youluo said without reason; it was a feeling she had after meeting Jiang Qingge.

Even if her memories return, over the years, her master and husband have likely become the person she truly loves, and this cannot be changed even after the memories are merged.

If the master awakens by then, he really won't like Lu Ye anymore...

Since I've already gone all in, I'm definitely going to follow Lu Ye!
"We'll see when the time comes. I can accept either outcome." Lu Ye didn't dwell on the matter.

"That's fine too, my lord, you have such a good attitude!" Youluo said admiringly.

I really admire her. If she were in that situation, she would definitely be in a terrible dilemma right now.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Above a deserted mountain range, a teleportation portal suddenly opened, and a female cultivator appeared.

The negative effects of teleportation, such as dizziness, did not manifest in her at all.

"This is the northern border of Xuanzhou?"

He glanced casually at the surrounding scenery. This person was naturally an eighth-level Nightshade Domain Lord from the Nightshade Domain, a being who could be compared to the Celestial Realm!
Several years have passed since that breakthrough.

As the lord of a region, Ye Youyu naturally has abundant resources, and her talent is also exceptional. As a result, she has already reached the third level of the Celestial Realm!
Several people were waiting in this mountain range.

As the night rain descended, they immediately knelt down and bowed, saying, "We greet the Domain Lord!"

"No need for formalities, rise. Tell me about the situation here, and how well you have gathered information about the Empress since you arrived here first."

"Wave your hand," Ye Youyu said.

"Yes."

The group quickly shared the information they had gathered over the past few days. However, they attributed the strange phenomenon that Lu Ye had previously caused to the Nine Nether Empress.

"You've been here for so long, haven't you gotten any accurate information?" Ye Youyu frowned and said, "Isn't it said that the cultivation level in the northern part of Xuanzhou is basically at the bottom? As Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm, can't you just walk around here with your heads held high?"

Upon hearing these words, the several Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm exchanged glances and shook their heads with wry smiles.

"Domain Lord, you don't know this, but we originally thought so too. However, we heard that in the past year... several people sent by other domains have gone missing."

Ye Youyu frowned, a sense of curiosity rising within her, and asked, "What's going on?"

"The northern border of Xuanzhou is not like it used to be; it's very strange now!"

"Lord of the Domain, you don't know, but in the Northern Territory right now, there are not only Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm, but even Grandmasters of the Heavenly Realm have appeared. It's completely different from before!"

Grandmaster of the Celestial Realm?
Upon hearing this, Ye Youyu frowned.

If a Grandmaster of the Heavenly Realm were to exist in Xuanzhou, Ye Youyu wouldn't be surprised.

But according to the information she had collected, the Northern Territory did not seem to be a place that possessed such talent.

Could it be that there's something strange about this place?
"That's possible. Otherwise, why would the Nine Nether Empress appear in a place like this?"

Soon, Ye Youyu found a reason to convince herself.

"Alright, whether it's the Earth Realm or the Heaven Realm, now that I'm here, you don't need to have any concerns. Go ahead and investigate with confidence. Once you find the information, I will clear away any obstacles that may arise."

A moment later, Ye Youyu waved her hand, her tone filled with her own unique confidence. Although the appearance of a Heavenly Realm expert in the Northern Territory was somewhat beyond her expectations, she was, after all, above the Heavenly Realm.

If one lacks even this much confidence, how can one talk about ruling a spiritual realm?

"Yes!"

These mortal grandmasters from the Nine Netherworld had no doubts about these words.

A domain lord could easily deal with a Heavenly Realm expert.

"Oh, right, there's one more thing. While you're investigating the Empress, please keep an eye out for someone else as well."

After a moment's thought, Ye Youyu said, "This person... is called Lu Ye."

Because Lu Ye had previously believed that he had entered a realm of illusion, he did not use a pseudonym.

Right now, Ye Youyu has directly put these people in charge of the search.

Upon hearing the domain lord's words, these people quickly nodded.

"Domain Lord, rest assured, leave this matter to us."

After a short while, she dismissed the people and began to investigate. After a moment of contemplation, Ye Youyu also vanished from the scene.

After leaving the mountain range, one of the Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm from the Nine Netherworld suddenly spoke after walking a short distance.

"Lu Ye... this name... I feel like I've heard it somewhere before?"

Actually, he had this premonition when the domain lord was speaking, but he was not sure yet and did not dare to say it immediately.

Instead, they intend to sort things out properly.

"You've heard of it?" his companion asked curiously.

The domain lord only assigned two tasks. Could it be that one of them is about to be completed?

The man, a seventh-level mortal realm cultivator with a broken eyebrow, thought for a moment and nodded, saying, "I do have some recollection of him."

"It seems to be related to some major sect in the Northern Territory? Let me think..."

The Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm with Broken Eyebrows thought for a while, and then his eyes lit up: "I think I remember now!"

"I have indeed heard of it. I heard it once when I passed through a small county town. There was a son-in-law of a Xiantian family, and that was his name!"

The others were astonished: "No, there are so many people in the North, how can you be sure it's this person?"

The Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm with Broken Eyebrows spoke faster and faster: "I'm not sure either, but I know that there is indeed such a person."

"I think, regardless of whether it's true or not, at least we should have a direction for the investigation. What do you think?"

Upon hearing this, the other three looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

This is the truth.

Whether it's true or not, at least it won't seem like a headless fly anymore.

"Then let's go find that person you mentioned. Since he's a son-in-law who married into the family, his cultivation level probably isn't too high. Let's go..."

A moment later, a group of people from the Nine Netherworld arrived outside Cloud Leaf City.

"This is the place. The man named Lu Ye is the son-in-law of the Jiang family in this city..." said the Grandmaster of the Mortal Realm with Broken Eyebrows.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's just go in. In a small town like this, the so-called innate families are nothing to us, aren't they?"

As the four entered Yunye City, the expressions of the two Grandmasters of the Mortal Realm who were secretly guarding the Jiang family residence immediately changed. (End of Chapter)
