Lu Ye had a Divine Ego now. Although he couldn’t scan a large area, he could detect any movement within a radius of a kilometre around him as long as he was focused. Kitty Shen had indeed come to this place without informing anyone.

“Just tell me what you want,” Kitty Shen said.

“First of all, I have to thank you for…”

“Stop!” Kitty Shen stepped backwards like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. She looked vigilantly at Lu Ye. “What are you thanking me for? Nothing happened between us!”

Both of them were on opposing sides. Previously, many cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge gathered together, ready to attack Ameliorate Arcane Glade. She didn’t have the heart to see Lu Ye killed, so she secretly told him to flee. She had already broken the rules by doing so.

Lu Ye didn’t run away because of her information. Instead, he went on to destroy many cultivators from Thousand Demon Ridge. However, Kitty Shen didn’t want to bring up this matter. If others found out what she had done, she would be regarded as a traitor.

Knowing what she meant, Lu Ye kept his mouth shut.

“Have you asked me to come here just to tell me this?” Kitty Shen looked helplessly at him.

“Of course… not!”

“What do you want me to do, then? Let me make it clear. I won’t do anything that will harm the Thousand Demon Ridge’s interests. Also, don’t even think about forcing me to do anything. Although we could be considered friends, I won’t betray my side. You have to keep that in mind.”

“Don’t worry. I won’t make things difficult for you. I just want you to bring one thing to someone.”

Kitty Shen was puzzled. “What is it? And who is that person?”

Lu Ye fished out a transmission stone and tossed it at her.

She took the item and examined it curiously. However, since there was no transmission stone in Jiu Zhou, she had no idea what the item was for.

“There’s a guy named Ying Wuji in Lone Cloud City Pass. Help me bring this item to him.”

“Ying Wuji?” Kitty Shen was surprised. “You know him?”

It seemed that the two of them didn’t only know each other, but they also shared some secrets. That was why Lu Ye wanted her to send something to Ying Wuji.

As her curiosity burned within her, Kitty Shen glanced at him and asked probingly, “What’s going on between you two? Is Ying Wuji a mole from the Grand Sky Coalition?”

Lu Ye refuted impassively, “He’s a core disciple of Yama Temple of this generation. Do you think someone like him could be a mole from the Grand Sky Coalition?”

“You have a point.”

“As for our relationship… You can ask him about it as long as he’s willing to tell you.”

Kitty Shen smiled. “Are you so sure I’ll lend you a hand?”

“I wasn’t so sure. But since you’re here now, I’m certain.”

She snorted, but before she could continue speaking, she saw something shooting towards her.

She hurriedly took it and discovered it was a jade bottle. It was a wonder what was inside. She sneered. “I’m from Thousand Demon Ridge, whereas you’re from the Grand Sky Coalition. We shouldn’t have met in private. I won’t help you with this as I have principles that I stick to. Don’t even think about bribing me.”

“Soul Cleansing Water,” Lu Ye said curtly.

“What?”

“There are three drops of Soul Cleansing Water inside the bottle. It’ll be your reward if you help me with this. You only need to pass that thing to Ying Wuji. There’s nothing else you need to do.”

Kitty Shen looked at him in shock. Although she was inexperienced, she couldn’t be easily fooled.

Soul Cleansing Water was a treasure even Divine Ocean Realm Masters craved, and it was extremely rare. A Real Lake Realm Master like her didn’t have a way to get her hands on it.

She was in the Real Lake Realm, and the next Realm would be the Divine Ocean Realm. However, she understood her aptitude fully well. It would be extremely difficult for her to ascend to the Divine Ocean Realm, but the goal might be achievable if she had three drops of Soul Cleansing Water.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, she opened the lid and caught a whiff of a pleasant scent. She felt energetic in an instant.

She had never seen Soul Cleansing Water, so she had no idea if what was inside the bottle was indeed what Lu Ye had claimed. Even if it wasn’t, it was beneficial to her Divine Soul. She quickly held the bottle close to her chest.

“Well, principles can be altered. I’ll help you with this!” she said righteously.

She convinced herself it wasn’t that she was easily swayed. It was just that Lu Ye had given her a lot.

“Alright.” Lu Ye nodded in satisfaction.

“I have one more question, though.” Kitty Shen appeared to be in a dilemma.

“Go ahead.”

“You know Ying Wuji well. Since he’s from Yama Temple, he’s pretty proud. He got along well with the others in the past, but something seems to be bugging him recently as he always pulls a long face. When I bumped into him and greeted him several days ago, he ignored me. I’m fine with passing him this thing, but what if he doesn’t want it?”

“If he dares turn you down, just say this to him.”

“What is it?”

“Blood Flows on Infinitely.”

Kitty Shen looked meaningfully at him. “Are you sure Ying Wuji isn’t a mole from the Grand Sky Coalition?”

[They even have a password!]

Lu Ye didn’t bother to explain anything. After the woman was gone, Lu Ye also returned to Blue Flame Mountain Pass.

Upon returning to Lone Cloud City Pass, Kitty Shen went to the cluster of buildings in the Southeast as she was familiar with the area. That was where Ying Wuji stayed.

Although she was inexperienced, she had her judgement. Regardless of what Lu Ye was trying to do, it would certainly harm the Thousand Demon Ridge’s interests.

Therefore, regardless of the nature of the relationship between Lu Ye and Ying Wuji, she shouldn’t be a messenger for them. Just like what she had said to Lu Ye, even though they could be considered friends, she wouldn’t betray her side. If she couldn’t even get this straight, it would be pointless for her to have cultivated her power for years.

Nevertheless, three drops of Soul Cleansing Water was too tempting, so she could only agree to it.

Naturally, she wouldn’t just take the Soul Cleansing Water and do nothing.

Anyway, she had to confirm that Ying Wuji indeed wasn’t a mole from the Grand Sky Coalition. It would be fine if the two of them were just acquaintances. As long as Ying Wuji never did anything that would harm Thousand Demon Ridge, she could turn a blind eye to it.

After making up her mind, she continued moving forward. Before her arrival, she saw Ying Wuji in front of her.

Elated, she went over and saluted him. “Senior Brother Ying.”

Ying Wuji seemed preoccupied with his thoughts as he subconsciously responded to her and was ready to walk past her. Much to his surprise, Kitty Shen went over to stand in his way.

“What’s the matter?” He frowned.

In the past, he wouldn’t be so impatient if a beautiful Junior Sister got in his way. However, he had been feeling troubled as of late, so he wasn’t in the mood to have a chat with a Junior Sister.

Previously, none of the Cloud River Realm Masters he had brought with him to collect Flames of Earthen Spirits survived. After that, many people were killed in the war in Lone Cloud City Pass.

The others had no idea where the Fire Spirit Race members came from, but he knew fully well that it was because of Lu Ye and him. He mustn’t let anyone find out about it. Otherwise, his future would be ruined.

Moreover, upon learning that Lu Ye was in Blue Flame Mountain Pass, he knew he couldn’t stay in this place any longer. Otherwise, his life would be destroyed by that jinx sooner or later.

Initially, he wanted to move to another Pass, but due to the severe casualties previously, they lacked manpower. As such, he had no choice but to stay in this Pass.

He decided that he would never leave Lone Cloud City again. As long as he never showed up, Lu Ye could never harm him regardless of how powerful the latter was.

Since he had been depressed lately, he wasn’t even in the mood to cultivate his power. It was when he was in such a state that Kitty Shen got in his way.

“Senior Brother Ying, there’s something I need to tell you. Can we go somewhere quiet?” Kitty Shen asked.

Ying Wuji sized her up. Suddenly thinking of something, he felt less gloomy in an instant. Since a beautiful Junior Sister had come to look for him and even wanted to go somewhere quiet with him, he couldn’t be blamed for having some wild thoughts.

[I suppose I’m still pretty charming!]

However, he wasn’t interested in falling in love with anyone, so he had to make it clear to her. After giving it some thought, he nodded. “Come with me.”

A moment later, he took the woman to his place and activated the Wards.

Just as he was pondering how he could turn down the woman politely and softly, Kitty Shen suddenly held out something. “Someone told me to give it to you.”

Ying Wuji subconsciously took a look at it. When he made out what was in the woman’s hand, he charged backwards and grabbed the hilt of his machete. It was as though the woman before his eyes was an enemy. He had already activated his Spiritual Power.

A puzzled Kitty Shen looked at him and called out gently, “Senior Brother Ying?”

Ying Wuji darted his gaze between the woman and the transmission stone. A name that was synonymous with nightmare sprang into his mind as he felt his eyelids twitching. “Where did you get this thing from?”

Although Kitty Shen had no idea what a transmission stone was, Ying Wuji knew it only too well.

It was the tool he used to contact Lu Ye when they were in the broken Peerless Continent back then. Of all the people he knew, only Lu Ye could make this thing.

As such, he couldn’t understand why Kitty Shen had a transmission stone. Realising something, he asked vigilantly, “Who told you to pass this thing to me?”

Kitty Shen asked meaningfully, “Who do you think the person is, Senior Brother Ying?”

Ying Wuji squinted his eyes. “Are you from the Grand Sky Coalition?”

Kitty Shen was dumbfounded. Initially, she suspected that Ying Wuji was a mole from the Grand Sky Coalition, but she ended up becoming the suspect instead. She quickly refuted, “I’m not from the Grand Sky Coalition, of course! What are you talking about? You mustn’t say nonsense like this. Others will misunderstand if they hear this.”

“Why do you have this thing, then? You’ve even contacted that person.”

As for who the person was, Ying Wuji wasn’t willing to bring up his name. The thought alone made him feel a heartache.

“There are some reasons I’m unable to explain. Anyway, he told me to send this thing to you. Senior Brother Ying, it seems that you’re the one who is from the Grand Sky Coalition.”

“That’s nonsense!” Ying Wuji growled. “There’s no way I’m from the Grand Sky Coalition!”

“I’ll only believe you if you make a Heavenly Oath!” Kitty Shen stared fixedly at him. She decided that if Ying Wuji wasn’t willing to do that, she would immediately tell everyone he was a mole.

Much to her surprise, as soon as she finished speaking, Ying Wuji made a Heavenly Oath.
