Ying Wuji had proven his innocence by making a Heavenly Oath. Then, he stared fixedly at Kitty Shen and demanded, “It’s your turn.”

Despite her anxiety, Kitty Shen hurriedly made a Heavenly Oath as well.

A moment later, they stared at each other. They could confirm that both of them were not moles from the Grand Sky Coalition. They had merely come into contact with Lu Ye due to various reasons.

With an icy expression, Ying Wuji said, “I don’t care how you got to know that person. Since you’ve been calling me Senior Brother, I’d suggest that you stop contacting that person. You’ll end up in a horrible state if you get too close to him!”

He seemed to be a bitter victim of a certain someone, so Kitty Shen’s curiosity was heightened. “What happened between the two of you?”

“Don’t ask. I don’t want to talk about it. That’s all I have to say. You’d better behave yourself. Leave now.”

He wanted the woman to leave at once.

Kitty Shen sighed and said slowly, “Blood Flows on Infinitely!”

“A Loyal Heart Lives on Forever…” Ying Wuji subconsciously replied.

They glanced at each other in the room. It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.

“Senior Brother Ying, this thing…” Kitty Shen broke the awkward silence.

“Give it to me.” Ying Wuji extended his hand as though he had resigned himself to fate.

[This is Lu Yi Ye’s warning to me!] What happened in Lone Cloud City Pass previously had been bugging him. There were some secrets that others must not find out. Lu Ye had made it clear that if Ying Wuji dared to turn him down, he would expose his wrongdoings to the people of Thousand Demon Ridge. When that happened, Ying Wuji would suffer miserably.

Regardless, many people from Thousand Demon Ridge were killed during that war.

After taking the transmission stone, Ying Wuji felt his hand trembling as though the stone was scorching. Then, he looked solemnly at Kitty Shen. “You’d better forget what has happened today. Also, keep my advice in mind. Stop contacting that person, or…”

“Or what?” Kitty Shen glanced curiously at him.

A crestfallen Ying Wuji waved his hand, no longer in the mood to say more. [Or what? Can’t you see what has happened to me?]

The woman was gone, and no one knew if she would heed his advice. A myriad of expressions came over Ying Wuji as he clenched the transmission stone.

Initially, he thought Lu Ye would never get to him if he hid in Lone Cloud City. Much to his surprise, Lu Ye was able to ask someone else to send him a transmission stone.

As he was seated there, he was struggling internally. A while later, he infused his power into the stone and said through clenched teeth, “What do you want?”

Lu Ye, who was patrolling Blue Flame Mountain Pass along with Yi Yi and Amber, detected something and fished out a corresponding transmission stone. He felt that Kitty Shen was efficient. She had managed to send the item to Ying Wuji even though it had only been half a day since they parted ways.

He knew he had given the task to the right person.

“Let’s meet up at 7.00AM two days later. We’ll assemble 300 kilometres away from Lone Cloud City in the Northeast. Also, you’d better apply for leave.”

When Ying Wuji received the reply in Lone Cloud City, he was dumbfounded. A moment later, he growled, “What on Earth do you want to do, Lu Yi Ye!? Why would I apply for leave? Why should I meet up with you two days later?”

“Don’t be late!”

When Ying Wuji tried to contact Lu Ye, he realised that the transmission stone in his hand had stopped resonating. In other words, Lu Ye had kept his transmission stone in a Storage Bag.

“Go to Hell!” Ying Wuji roared at the transmission stone. He rose to his feet with a livid expression.

[Lu Yi Ye has gone too far! Out of nowhere, he gave me a time and a location to meet up with him. Does he think I’m a pushover? I’m not going anywhere. Let’s see what he can do to me!]

In Blue Flame Mountain Pass, after Lu Ye was done contacting Ying Wuji, he headed to Nian Yuexian’s bamboo house. He could easily guess how Ying Wuji would react.

He wasn’t worried that Ying Wuji wouldn’t come as he had a way to deal with him. If Ying Wuji had the audacity not to show up, he would go to Lone Cloud City in the same clothes as the previous time and take off his face mask right in front of the people of Thousand Demon Ridge. Without a need for him to say anything, Ying Wuji would be in trouble.

“There’s something I need to tell you, Madam.” Lu Ye made a salutation in front of the bamboo house.

“What’s the matter?” Nian Yuexian’s voice was heard coming from behind.

Lu Ye turned around and saw the woman looking down at him while seated on a tree branch.

He felt his eyelids twitching as he realised that the Pass Leader didn’t stay in the bamboo house most of the time. Perhaps she was used to living in the wilderness, so she would always be found on a tree branch.

“Madam, I’ve found a tour guide for our trip to Desolate Plain. Perhaps it’ll help.”

“A tour guide?” Nian Yuexian was puzzled.

“Desolate Plain is far away from here. Although you have excellent concealment skills, you still might be exposed in the hinterland of Thousand Demon Ridge. What if we have someone from Thousand Demon Ridge with us? If we come across anyone trying to verify our identities, we can just let that person deal with everything. We’ll be able to stay anonymous.”

Nian Yuexian instantly understood what he meant.

Since she wanted to bring Lu Ye to Desolate Plain, they couldn’t just fly over there. That was because Desolate Plain was on the border between Bing Zhou and Wu Zhou. She was a famous Divine Ocean Realm Master. If she directly went over there, her whereabouts would be exposed easily.

As such, if she wanted to head to Desolate Plain, she had to be stealthy by making use of her skills as a Ghost Cultivator. In that case, she couldn’t move quickly.

If Lu Ye could find a cultivator from Thousand Demon Ridge to tag along, they could let the person deal with those who wanted to verify their identities. That way, things would be much easier. At the very least, they could directly fly over there without worrying too much.

[But…] Nian Yuexian was worried. “Can you find someone like that?”

“I’ve already found one, and the other party has agreed to it.”

Nian Yuexian was shocked as she didn’t know Lu Ye was capable of doing that. She asked worriedly, “Is he trustable?”

“No, but I have some secrets that can be used against him. I’m sure he won’t have the guts to expose us.”

“That’s great, then. Still, we have to be careful.”

“I’ll deal with everything by then. You just have to lead the way for us, Madam. You don’t have to talk to him.” That way, it would be easier for the woman to conceal her identity.

Nian Yuexian nodded. “There’s one more problem, though. Although I can hide my face by wearing a face mask, it’s hard to conceal my cultivation. The person you’ve found might realise who I am because of that.”

“There’s no need to worry. Please come down here, Madam.” Lu Ye extended his hand.

Knowing what he meant, Nian Yuexian descended from the tree branch. Lu Ye stepped forward and lifted his hand. “Please forgive me for what I’m about to do.”

Nian Yuexian watched in shock as Lu Ye pressed his hand against her belly. His Spiritual Power surged the next second, and Nian Yuexian could feel a new Glyph on her figure.

Having seen Lu Ye use Phoenix Wings before, she wondered what this Glyph was capable of doing. “What is this?”

“Pretend Intimidation,” Lu Ye replied. “Do you remember the time when Yi Yi and Amber arrived with Divine Ocean Realm auras and scared off Wan Zhanggang and the others? That’s what this Glyph is for. This Glyph isn’t only capable of imitating a more powerful aura, but it can also imitate weaker fluctuations of Spiritual Power. You can give it a try. However, please be careful when you activate your Spiritual Power. It’s a Glyph I’ve used on you, after all. If the fluctuations of Spiritual Power are too violent, the Glyph might lose effect. When that happens, your true cultivation will be exposed.”

Upon hearing his explanation, Nian Yuexian activated the power of Pretend Intimidation, and her aura started changing.

As a Divine Ocean Realm Master, she soon figured out how to use Pretend Intimidation. A moment later, she adjusted her aura to First-Order Real Lake Realm, which was even lower than Lu Ye’s current cultivation. It was the limit, so she couldn’t make her aura go lower.

She then activated her Spiritual Power and dismantled the Glyph. With a smile, she said, “You’ve devised a comprehensive plan. We’ll do as you say, then.”

Her smile was so alluring that even the world paled in comparison.

It was Lu Ye’s first time seeing the woman smile. He stared fixedly at her for a moment before looking away. “I’m glad you’re pleased with the plan, Madam. If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave now.”

“Alright.”

As Nian Yuexian watched him leave, a particular figure sprang into her mind again. [They’re different, after all. That person loved doing things at will. On the other hand, Lu Ye will always come up with a plan before taking action.]

With a conflicted expression, she placed her hand on the part of her belly where the man had touched.

Over the years, no one had ever done such an inappropriate thing to her. If Lu Ye were someone else, she would’ve slapped the person. A woman’s belly shouldn’t be touched by anyone even if she was wearing clothes.

However, they had already come into close contact before. During the fight against Wan Zhanggang, their hands were even clasped together. As such, the man touching her belly didn’t seem like a big matter.

Anyway, she would certainly need to make use of his power again in the future.

Lu Ye never cultivated his power for the next two days. Instead, he spent most of his time looking into the Soaring Dragon Bondary’s Source. Sometimes, he would also practise his Blade Technique in the Rift of Illusions.

Two days later, as soon as he stepped out of his bamboo house, Nian Yuexian appeared in front of him.

As they exchanged glances, she nodded and engulfed Lu Ye with her Spiritual Power before they shot into the sky.

“Madam, is it alright for us to leave just like this? No one will be guarding the Pass,” Lu Ye asked.

“If those from Thousand Demon Ridge want to get Blue Flame Mountain Pass, just let them take it. White Jade City Pass and Clear Moon Cave Pass have been hoping that the people from Thousand Demon Ridge will do that so that they will have a reason to attack them.”

White Jade City Pass and Clear Moon Cave Pass were the neighbours of Blue Flame Mountain Pass. Just like Blue Flame Mountain Pass, the former was in Great Moon Canyon, whereas the latter was in Small Moon Canyon.

Previously, Lu Ye was tasked with purchasing wine from White Jade City Pass. However, he had to leave in a hurry at that time, so he didn’t have a chance to walk around and experience the city.

Over the years, there were few conflicts at the front line which was guarded by the three Passes. The cultivators from White Jade City Pass and Clear Moon Cave Pass had been lamenting that they rarely had any chance to earn battle points. Therefore, if those from Lone Cloud City Pass dared to take action, the cultivators from the two Passes would be elated.
