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

As for where to go, Youluo didn't care at all.

Even if Lu Ye asked her to go to the deep mountains and forests, she felt that it would have a unique charm. That was Youluo's current thought.

"Alright, let's slow down a bit and take a look at the territory under King Cheng's jurisdiction."

Immediately, Lu Ye turned around with You Luo and headed towards the territory of King Cheng.

King Cheng's sphere of influence is vast, encompassing many territories, all of which he seized within the past year, much like King Yuan's path to power.

Therefore, it quickly entered the corresponding range.

“This city that King Cheng is currently in belonged to King Yuan before, as I remember.”

Arriving in a small town, Lu Ye laughed. These warlords really do change masters very frequently.

Today this force may be in charge, but tomorrow it may change.

Fortunately, these forces did not immediately impose heavy taxes on the city's residents after taking control; otherwise, the city's residents would have faced a much more difficult life than they do now.

Entering the city still required screening, but perhaps because of previous incidents, the soldiers conducting the screening this time did not dare to encounter any attractive girls and instead stopped them with various excuses.

Seeing this, Lu Ye thought to himself...

Could it be that the same thing that happened with Xiao Qingyin is still having an effect?

After all, these forces certainly don't want to provoke powerful cultivators, as that would undoubtedly cause them trouble.

Lu Ye entered the city peacefully and went to a teahouse, the easiest place to gather all kinds of information.

Originally, Youluo was supposed to rest in the inn by herself, but out of curiosity, she came along, this time wearing her own black robe.

Hearing the various rumors being discussed among the people in the inn, Youluo found it quite interesting.

"I wonder if the Prince Yuan regrets it now. He used to be the only one who was in power, but after losing the Grand Tutor, he has now lost several cities in succession."

"Yes, the most important thing is that after the Yuan King, he actually labeled the Imperial Preceptor as a heretic, which led to the departure of many capable people and greatly weakened his power."

These people were discussing amongst themselves in hushed tones, while many others were engrossed in their conversation, occasionally chiming in with a comment.

Since this place is within King Cheng's territory, King Cheng's forces are actually happy to see King Yuan's behind-the-scenes machinations succeed.

Therefore, there will not be too much control. Of course, if we were to discuss whether King Cheng was good or bad, there would certainly be danger.

These onlookers were clearly mindful of their words, mostly discussing other vassal kings' forces, and even when discussing King Cheng, they spoke favorably of him.

"It's all because the person who killed the Imperial Preceptor was too powerful, which made Prince Yuan dare not take any other action," someone said.

Many people nodded in agreement upon hearing this.

That person was indeed powerful back then. It was originally thought that Yin Wuxiao, at the peak of the Earth Realm, could roam freely in Qingzhou without any rivals, but unexpectedly...

In an instant, he fell to that man's hands.

Even now, many people still find it unbelievable when they talk about this.

After all, Yin Wuxiao's invincible image in Qingzhou over the past few years was deeply ingrained in people's minds.

Even now, some people still can't believe that Yin Wuxiao really died. Perhaps he was just seriously injured and is recuperating somewhere.

Lu Ye didn't tell You Luo about Yin Wuxiao's matter after they returned to the northern border of Xuanzhou.

But as she listened, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Youluo's heart, and she asked softly, "My lord, could this be something you did again?"

Hearing Youluo's insightful question, Lu Ye found it somewhat amusing and replied in a low voice, "Why would you ask that?"

"I don't know, I just suddenly had this intuition..."

Although Youluo spoke very softly, there were cultivators present in the teahouse at that moment.

The cultivator, with his keen senses, overheard the two's quiet conversation.

Immediately, two or three pairs of eyes turned towards this direction...

What are they talking about in the teahouse right now?
It was the greatest support behind the former King Yuan, and its downfall is a tragedy!
And now someone is whispering that the Yuan King's death... was it him?
What kind of joke is he making?!

However, after seeing the pair of the two, these people suddenly realized that this was another young man trying to show off in front of the female cultivator.

Although Youluo was wearing a black robe, she didn't disguise her voice. It was obvious to anyone who listened that it was definitely a woman's voice.

These people could understand him boasting in front of a woman, so a few of them looked at him with a hint of mockery, but they didn't say anything.

At the same time, she began to doubt the intelligence of the woman in black robes. How could she think that this young man could accomplish such a major task?
Even a fool would find it impossible!
These gazes did not escape Lu Ye's eyes.

Looking at their contemptuous yet silent expressions, Lu Ye smiled.

This matter is indeed quite unbelievable to outsiders.

Not long after, Lu Ye left the teahouse with You Luo.

Now that he knew where King Cheng was residing, there was no need for him to stay in the teahouse any longer.

Youluo was a little angry. She had heard what those people were saying and wanted to argue with them, but Lu Ye said to forget it.

They look down on people!

Looking down on others is one thing, but looking down on Lu Ye made Youluo extremely angry.

"My lord, why didn't you let me argue with them earlier? I wanted to see just how much they really understood you!"

Now that she knew Lu Ye was the one who killed the so-called Qingzhou National Preceptor, Youluo felt particularly confident.

I am right in front of you, and you are still talking about how much you know him and making all sorts of guesses?
Most importantly, they look down on me!
"Forget it, why are you arguing with these onlookers?" Lu Ye shook his head with a smile.

Once a person becomes famous, there will inevitably be all sorts of people who will argue about it every day. He doesn't have that much time to spare.

"Okay, I know it's pointless to argue with them, but I just can't stand it." Youluo knew that arguing wasn't the solution, and her face fell as she spoke.

"It's nothing, you'll get used to it after you see it more often." Lu Ye said with a smile, patting her head.

“Alright, shall we head to the city where King Cheng is now?” Youluo asked.

"That's right, let's go and see who this so-called mastermind behind King Cheng really is."

Lu Ye's eyes narrowed slightly.

If it really is the Heavenly Demon Cult behind this, then don't blame him for being ruthless.

In any case, more than one or two members of the demonic sect have already perished at his hands, so one more wouldn't make a difference... (End of Chapter)
