"Who is responsible for patrolling this area?" Yuan Chou glanced at everyone.
A Yunhe Realm monk walked out of the crowd, cupped his fists and said, "Uncle Master, it's me."
"We must conduct inspections carefully in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again."
"Yes!" the monk responded, seeming hesitant to speak.
Yuan Chou frowned: "If you have anything to say, just say it."
The monk said: "Uncle, I am extremely careful every time I inspect, especially in the water. I don't dare to make any omissions. Just yesterday, I inspected this section of the waterway, and there was nothing unusual during the inspection."
"No need to quibble." Yuan Chou reprimanded in a deep voice, "There are many monsters in the water that are good at hiding. It is normal for you to make some omissions. Now that this monster appears here and destroys the dam, it is your fault. It cannot be someone else's fault.
I deliberately threw this monster here to harm the mortals under our Qingquan Sect. If it weren't for the disciples of the Jade Blood Sect this time, Lou City, fifty miles away, would have been unsafe, and tens of thousands of mortals would have been killed..."
When he said this, Yuan Chou's expression suddenly changed, and he raised his eyes and glanced in the direction Lu Ye was leaving.
Lu Ye was already at the ninth level of Yunhe, and the direction he left... was definitely the direction of Haotian City.
Did he receive an order from Haotian City and report to Haotian City?
As far as he knows, once the transfer order is issued, the time limit will not be too long. Once the time limit is exceeded, it is no joke. The state guards in various states are all acting in the military. Military orders are overwhelming and the law is unmerciful. If Lu Ye is within the time limit,
I couldn't get to Haotian City before, even the gods couldn't save me!
He just said it casually, but what if... someone really deliberately left this water demon here?
The timing was too coincidental. As soon as Lu Ye flew nearby, the flood broke out. He came here to block the source, and he should have been attacked by the water monster...
Although the water demon is dead, Yuan Chou can still tell that this demon is at the demon general level, which is enough to cause a lot of trouble to the monks in the Cloud River Realm without harming their lives.
"Senior brother?" A monk from the Qingquan Sect called out softly, wondering what Yuan Chou thought of.
"Nothing." Yuan Chou restrained his mind and did not dare to think about it anymore. Some things just couldn't help but be considered, and the more he thought about them, the more terrifying they became.
I wish I didn't worry too much.
After leaving the big river, Lu Ye continued on his way.
From dawn to dusk, there was no rest. It was not until late at night that he lowered his body and found a random place in the deep mountains and old forests. He set up formations to warn all directions and cultivated and adjusted.
An hour later, when Lu Ye was about to set off again, a sound pierced the air suddenly reached his ears, as if someone was passing by nearby.
Lu Ye raised his eyes and saw a man in black passing by not far away under the moonlight.
The man in black was walking in a hurry and had a panicky expression, as if there was some danger approaching behind him.
Moreover, the fluctuations of spiritual power emanating from this man were astonishingly at the level of the True Lake Realm.
There was indeed danger approaching from behind. Just when Lu Ye saw the man in black, a sharp shout came from a distance: "Where to escape!"
As he spoke, there was a sound of sword sound and sword light flashing wildly.
The man in black was obviously on the run. He probably didn't want to pay attention to Lu Ye at first, but when he felt the murderous intention behind him like a tarsal maggot, he gritted his teeth suddenly and fell straight towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye didn't know what happened at all. He just settled here to rest, but now it looked like he was involved in a fight between the two parties!
This is considered the realm of the Haotian Alliance. Even if we are monks of the Haotian Alliance, even if there is some friction on weekdays, we will not fight and fight in such a big way.
So Lu Ye instantly understood that one of the two sides fighting must be from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge!
Bingzhou is a battleground between the two camps. It is common for both sides to infiltrate manpower into their respective territories, create panic, and kill the other side's rising stars.
It is not surprising to meet people from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge here.
It's just that Lu Ye felt unlucky that this happened to him.
The person chasing after him was obviously a sword cultivator, and he had some inheritance from the Beixuan Sword Sect. Coupled with the actions of the man in black, it was already clear which side was the Haotian Alliance and which side was the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.
The man in black obviously knew that he couldn't get rid of the sword cultivator, so he wanted to use himself to make the pursuing sword cultivator throw a trap.
No matter what, once the two True Lake realms fight here, oneself and the Cloud River realm will definitely be involved, and then the side belonging to the Haotian Alliance will have its hands tied!
He even said that the man in black most likely wanted to hold him hostage!
But the man in black obviously thought too much.
If an ordinary Yunhe realm faced such a situation, they would have no choice but to escape.
But Lu Ye had previously deployed a protective formation around him, and in order to save time, he directly used the formation base.
In this way, the protective array will be very powerful.
The man in black swooped down from high in the sky like a falcon, with the spiritual power all over his body stimulating, preparing to capture Lu Ye. Although he was injured during the pursuit, the True Lake Realm is the True Lake Realm after all, and he won a Cloud River Realm.
Of course it's not a problem.
But what made him feel confused was that the young man below seemed to be stunned and stood there, motionless, just staring into his eyes calmly.
From the eyes of the other party, the man in black could not see any panic. The other party was calm and calm, as if he didn't take him seriously at all!
Instinctively, he felt something was wrong, but at this moment it was too late to retreat. The sword cultivators who were chasing him were extremely fast. If he could not quickly capture this young man, he would have no chance of survival.
Even if he succeeds, he doesn't know whether the other party will use a virulent weapon.
The distance between them quickly narrowed, and soon they were close. The man in black reached out and grabbed Lu Ye's neck.
Then he saw Lu Ye lift his foot and stomp it lightly. As spiritual energy surged around his body, a light curtain in the shape of a large upside-down bowl suddenly appeared, covering Lu Ye tightly.
"Protective array!" The man in black was shocked. He never expected that this young man was actually an array cultivator, and only an array cultivator could set up an array around him when he was resting in the wild.
However...how strong can a protective array deployed by a Yunhe Realm monk be, no matter how strong it is?
When he turned his extended hand, a short blade appeared in his hand. The spiritual power of the True Lake Realm poured into the short blade, activating all the restrictions of the magic weapon and slashing hard at the light curtain lying in front of him.
.
The imagined scene of the light curtain being broken did not appear. The light curtain just dented downwards and soon returned to its original state.
"Impossible!" The man in black was horrified. Although he was injured now and had not used all his strength in the attack, he was confident that he could break through the protective circle set up by a Yunhe realm cultivator.
In fact, when the blow was struck, he could feel the solidity of the protective circle in front of him.
Even if he tried his best to break such a magic circle, it would take at least three strikes to break it!
He finally understood why the young man in front of him was so calm and composed. It turned out that he had extremely strong confidence in his own formation.
It's funny that I thought...
Realizing that there was nothing he could do, the man in black gave Lu Ye a hateful look, as if he wanted to remember him deep in his soul, and then retreated.
"Death!"
When the sharp shouts came, the dazzling sword light slanted like moonlight and enveloped the man in black.
The sword light was cold, the spiritual power surged, and the two figures fought fiercely.
But the sword cultivator was obviously stronger, and the man in black was injured, so he couldn't be his opponent.
If the sword cultivator hadn't been worried about Lu Ye next to him, fearing that the aftermath of the fight would hurt Lu Ye, he would have succeeded long ago.
Lu Ye also noticed this and said, "This senior brother will do his best. I can resist it!"
The sword cultivator heard this and said, "Okay, be careful!"
When the words fell, the attack suddenly became much more violent. The man in black was retreating steadily, and Lu Ye was already scolded to death in his heart.
Thirty breaths later, with a scream, the sword light converged, and the man in black fell to the ground covered in blood.
The sword cultivator put away the flying sword, took off the storage bag from the man in black, took out a token from the man's arms, nodded with satisfaction, and stuffed it into his arms.
Only then did he have time to explain to Lu Ye: "This traitor from Wanmoling sneaked into the vicinity with evil intentions. I discovered it and chased him all the way here, which frightened my junior brother."
"Thank you, senior brother." Lu Ye cupped his fists.
The sword cultivator nodded slightly: "Although this place is the boundary of Haotian Alliance, thieves from Ten Thousand Demon Ridge often appear. Junior brother must be careful when he is alone. It is best to rush to a nearby city to stay overnight. Don't stay in the wild for too long at night."
He had no intention of having a detailed discussion with Lu Ye, and he had no intention of protecting Lu Ye. It was common for monks to sleep in the wild, so he just gave a simple word of advice.
Leave soon.
"Are you alone? But that's not necessarily the case!" Lu Ye put away the formation flag and base and rose into the sky.
Kyushu is still very lively. He had only practiced training in the two major battlefields before, and had never experienced the local charm of Kyushu.
Stepping out of the Jade Blood Sect this time was like entering a new world.
The sky is getting brighter and more than half of the journey has passed. According to the current speed, we can reach Haotian City before tonight.
When passing a spiritual peak, Lu Ye suddenly stopped and raised his hand to hold the handle of the knife.
Amber, who was crouching on his shoulder, suddenly became hairy and growled in his throat.
At this moment, somewhere on the Ling Peak below, a dragon-like stream of light rose into the sky and headed straight towards Lu Ye.
The majestic power is astonishing.
This is clearly a technique performed by a True Lake Realm monk!
Lu Ye immediately moved around in an attempt to dodge, but the True Lake Realm cultivator controlled his own spiritual power like an arm and a finger. No matter how Lu Ye dodged, the spell was still like a tarsal maggot that he couldn't get rid of, and he quickly got closer to him.
The distance between land and leaves.
Feeling the power of the spell and realizing that he could not avoid the blow, Lu Ye gritted his teeth and stood in mid-air, raising his hands in front of him. As his spiritual power was released, a huge guardian spirit pattern stretched across his body.
At the same time, a figure suddenly appeared from not far away, carrying an astonishing power and heading straight towards the spiritual peak.
Feeling the familiar breath, Lu Ye took a long breath, knowing that his previous guess was right.
