Naturally, Lu Ye was repelled by the other party’s surreptitious behaviour.

His instincts told him not to have anything to do with the people from that organisation. Otherwise, he would get into trouble. Also, he didn’t owe the mysterious woman a favour for saving his life. Even without her help at that time, he had the confidence to flee. It could even be said that her appearance had made things complicated.

As the thoughts turned over in his mind, Lu Ye pocketed his gaze and stayed vigilant, ready to move past that person.

The person had the audacity to show up in this place, so he was probably from the Grand Sky Coalition and wasn’t worried about anyone inspecting him.

“Are you Lu Yi Ye from the Crimson Blood Sect?” the person shouted from below.

“No.” Lu Ye denied it directly.

The person watched in shock as Lu Ye left in a hurry. However, the person didn’t seem to have the intention of racing after Lu Ye as he only watched him leave.

Lu Ye frowned as the situation was different from what he thought.

Anyway, it was none of his concern. It had saved him some trouble that the other party never ran after him. He was in a rush to head to Grand Sky City.

After flying for a while, he suddenly realised something was amiss. That was because the view around him was familiar. It was as though he had just seen it.

When he lifted his gaze, he saw a familiar Spirit Peak in the distance. On the peak stood a person with a white face mask.

Lu Ye donned a solemn expression as something was indeed amiss.

Before he even went near, the person shouted, “Are you Lu Yi Ye from the Crimson Blood Sect?”

It was as though he had travelled back in time and experienced the same thing again.

This time, he didn’t even respond to him. He changed directions and flew forward.

A moment later, he came across the same Spirit Peak, and the person patiently asked again, “Are you Lu Yi Ye from the Crimson Blood Sect?”

Lu Ye stared fixedly at him and saw the squinted eyes behind the face mask. Certainly, he figured out that he had fallen into the other party’s cage.

He ignored the person and changed directions again. He blessed his eyes with Insight and scanned his surroundings while flying.

Unfortunately, he experienced the same thing again and again. The same Spirit Peak, the same person, and the same question.

Initially, he thought he had fallen into a Grand Ward, but after some observation, he could confirm that it wasn’t a Grand Ward. That was because regardless of how brilliant a Grand Ward was, he could certainly see through it, considering his mastery of the Way of Wards and the fact that he had turned on Insight.

However, he couldn’t see the traces of a Grand Ward. In that case, it must be a treasure. Just like Nine Wards Scroll, it was a treasure that had a space of its own.

Instantly, Lu Ye had his guard up.

Although he was only a First-Order Real Lake Realm Master, he had a Divine Ego. As such, his perception was extremely sensitive. The person who could trap him in this place without him discovering it must be a Divine Ocean Realm Master.

Nevertheless, the person he had come across was only a Real Lake Realm Master, not a Divine Ocean Realm Master.

In other words, there was a powerful cultivator behind the person.

“Are you Lu Yi Ye from the Crimson Blood Sect?” the person was heard asking again.

Lu Ye landed in front of him and sized him up before nodding. “Yes, it’s me.”

Since the other party had made a move and identified him, it was pointless to deny it.

“I’ve heard a lot about you.” The person cupped his fists.

“What’s the matter?”

“Our Sir would like to see you.”

“Your Sir?” Lu Ye squinted. “Why is he hiding if he wants to see me? He can just come and see me.”

“There’s some inexplicable reason. Please forgive us.” The cultivator with a face mask hung his head low as though apologising to Lu Ye.

“Lead the way, then.”

The cultivator with a face mask said, “But before that, I’ll have to find out how powerful you truly are to see if you have the right to see our Sir.”

Although the person was polite, Lu Ye was amused by his words.

“Your Sir wants to see me, but he has to find out if I’m powerful enough, huh?”

“Please pardon us.”

“Cut the crap. We’ll talk if you manage to survive.”

[Do they think I’m a weakling that can be pushed around?]

As soon as he finished speaking, a horrifying Saber Light flickered.

The person apparently didn’t expect Lu Ye to make a move all of a sudden, so he hurriedly held out his Spirit Artifact in front of him.

The next moment, he was flabbergasted. Initially, he had no regard for Lu Ye as the latter was only a First-Order Real Lake Realm Master. He had looked into his background and found out that Lu Ye was good at killing stronger enemies. Although he had expected him to be fairly powerful, he realised he had underestimated his heritage after they exchanged moves.

With his immense and violent Spiritual Power, Lu Ye cast the Saber Intent of Tyrant Blade Technique with his weapon.

Overwhelmed by the mighty pressure, the cultivator with a face mask found it hard to breathe. One had to know that he was several Minor Realms above Lu Ye, but he still was astounded by the latter’s monstrous power and heritage.

Clangs were heard as they clashed with each other using their weapons. The cultivator with a face mask was forced to move backwards as he was on the losing side.

When a crack was heard, Lu Ye’s weapon came apart.

His Inviolable Saber was still being upgraded, so he had only fished out a saber that looked similar to Inviolable Saber. It was probably a weapon he had picked up after defeating his enemies.

It was only a High-Grade Spirit Artifact, which was why it broke apart as Lu Ye wielded it aggressively.

He stopped attacking for a brief moment and fished out another saber. The opponent was also a Real Lake Realm Master, so he naturally wouldn’t miss the chance. Just as he was ready to make a move, he was suddenly stiff. The next second, he retreated and shouted, “Farewell, Cultivator Lu! We’ll meet again.”

He was leaving in a hurry as though he had received an order.

Lu Ye was ready to race after him, but an immense force suddenly approached from a distance. He quickly stopped in his tracks, but when he was struck by the force, he was forced to move backwards for dozens of metres before managing to stabilise himself.

When he lifted his gaze, his opponent was already nowhere to be seen.

The view around him seemed to be contorting. He knew that the powerful cultivator’s move had lost effect.

He remained in the same spot and furrowed his brows while cursing at the two of them.

He had no idea who the Divine Ocean Realm Master was, but the other party had apparently stopped him from making a move. However, the person didn’t have the intention of killing him. Otherwise, he would’ve shown up and done that.

The other party said he wanted to see him, but he soon left in a hurry. It was a wonder what had happened.

Since Lu Ye couldn’t figure it out, he decided to push the matter to the back of his mind. He was certain he would come into contact with people from that mysterious organisation again, so he would find out who they were sooner or later.

After identifying the direction, he continued his journey to Grand Sky City. It was smooth sailing this time as he was no longer trapped in a time loop.

Around 100 kilometres away stood two people. One of them was the cultivator with a face mask, and the other was an energetic old man.

The cultivator was still reeling from the shock as he recalled the brief exchange of moves with Lu Ye. That was because he was several Minor Realms above Lu Ye, but he still wasn’t in an advantageous position. It meant that if they were in a life-and-death battle, he wouldn’t be a match for Lu Ye.

That was ridiculous. How could a person’s heritage be so insanely powerful?

One had to know that this cultivator was also a brilliant disciple who could kill enemies stronger than him.

The cultivator pulled himself together and asked, “Is Nian Yuexian here, Sir?”

“No.”

“In that case, why did we retreat? Don’t you want to see him?”

“There’s no longer a need for that.” The old man shook his head.

He wanted to see Lu Ye for two reasons. First of all, he wanted to find out how powerful Lu Ye was. This had been ascertained earlier. It could be said that Lu Ye was gifted, so he had the right to join the organisation.

Secondly, the old man wanted to find out Lu Ye’s temperament, and he already had a judgement.

Since he had achieved his goal, there was no longer a need to see Lu Ye. If they came into contact, Lu Ye would feel even more repelled, and it would be a loss for them.

“I’ve made a mistake this time.” The old man ran his fingers through his beard. Although he was a Divine Ocean Realm Master, he was fine with admitting to his mistakes. “I thought he was just a new Real Lake Realm Master, so we could easily make him submit to us. However, we ended up messing everything up. Forget it. That person is proud and unyielding. When you come into contact with him in the future, you mustn’t use any tricks. You can only treat him with sincerity.”

“Yes,” the cultivator replied respectfully. “What about making him side with us?”

“It’s not the right time yet. Someone like him will figure out his own problems sooner or later. By then, he will form the same beliefs as ours. In that case, even if we don’t make him join us, we’ll still share the same goal.”

The cultivator fell deep in thought.

“You may leave now.” The old man waved his hand.

The cultivator cupped his fists and left the place.

The old man looked in the Crimson Blood Sect’s direction. After giving it some thought, he leapt into the sky and headed to the Crimson Blood Sect.

It had been a long time since he last met Tang Yi Feng, so he wondered how the latter was doing.

…

Lu Ye was held up for a while because of the incident, but the rest of the journey was smooth sailing.

In the evening, the vast Grand Sky City came into sight.

After flying for a while longer, he finally arrived at Grand Sky City. Following the previous experience, he naturally wouldn’t look for the entrance. Instead, he directly flew past the wall.

Unlike the previous time, there were fewer people in Grand Sky City. There weren’t as many cultivators in the streets.

The situation was special previously. Many Cloud River Realm Masters came across a rare incident where the two worlds merged. Since they had nowhere else to go, they streamed into Grand Sky City and were sent to different Canyons and Passes.

Now, there were a lot more cultivators in those Canyons and Passes than in the past. Blue Flame Mountain Pass was a unique case, though. Even if Amber was included, there were only four members.

After entering Grand Sky City, Lu Ye headed straight to the Ministry of Appointments as he remembered where it was.

Before he even arrived, he saw a familiar figure in the distance.

The person was the Commander of the Ministry of Laws, Qian Wudang, who had sent Lu Ye to jail previously.

Seeing him, Lu Ye hunched his back and decided to make a detour to avoid coming into contact with him.
