Lin Yue also smiled. In terms of battle results, Li Taibai had already killed two dumb insects while Lu Yiye had only killed one. In this aspect, the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge was slightly better. There were only two insects left.
Just as Lu Ye's clone was about to take them all down in one go, the two giant insects finally realized that something was wrong. Originally, there were eight of them chasing out, but now, there were only two left. How were they going to fight?
The insects didn't have much intelligence, so they couldn't think too much. At this time, they could only follow their instincts.
After realizing that something was wrong, the two insects fled in two directions, one left and one right.
Lu Ye's clone chased after one insect. At the same time, Elder Wan and Lin Yue also rushed out.
Just now, the two young people had been working closely together, so they didn't want to disturb them. Now that the two had separated and the insects were showing signs of escaping, they naturally couldn't sit back and watch.
Lu Ye's original body met up with Elder Wan, and his clone met up with Lin Yue. Their spiritual power surged.
After a while, the original body's battle ended first. After all, Elder Wan's cultivation was higher than Lin Yue's, so he had an advantage in such a battle. Soon after, the clone also killed the last Dumb Insect. The battle ended.
Lu Ye's original body sheathed his sword, and the clone's many sword lights spiraled into the sword gourd. The two turned around and looked at each other from hundreds of feet away. Lu Ye thought about what he should say in such a situation. If there were no outsiders, it would be fine, but the key was that the Divine Sea Realm cultivators and Lin Yue were present. It would be strange if he didn't say anything.
After a while, he slowly said, "You're very good." The clone grinned and replied, "You're good too." The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. It felt even stranger to praise himself so blatantly.
But in the eyes of Elder Wan and Lin Yue, the two rising stars appreciated each other.
For rising stars like Lu Yiye and Li Taibai, it was undoubtedly a great fortune to have someone who could stand shoulder to shoulder with them in the same generation. The road ahead was long, and the competition between two people was always better than one person being alone.
Lu Ye saluted again. "Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect. Thank you for your help."
The avatar returned the greeting. "Itinerant Cultivator Li Taibai. It is our duty as cultivators to exterminate the Insectoids."
"If there's a chance in the future, I'll definitely drink and chat with you. "Sure, sure."
Lu Ye really didn't know what to say. Fortunately, Elder Wan reached out to stroke his beard and laughed, "It's good to be young."
Lin Yue obviously felt the same way. She agreed and said, "Yes. "Now that this matter is settled, I'll take my leave. Elder Wan said before turning around and flying towards the direction of the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. Lu Ye followed closely behind. On the other side, Lin Yue also called out to her doppelganger and rushed towards the Dark Moon Forest Pass.
A woman's curiosity was extremely strong, and even a Seventh Order Divine Sea cultivator like Lin Yue was no exception. On the way back, she asked, "Junior Brother used to know Lu Yiye."
The clone hurriedly shook his head. "This is the first time I've seen it.
"You cooperated so well with him that I thought you two were already familiar with each other."
"It's probably because our temperaments are compatible."
This was also true, so Lin Yue naturally didn't doubt it. In her opinion, Li Tai Bai had no need to deceive her. Moreover, Myriad Demon Ridge and Grand Heaven Alliance, how familiar could they be …
"The two of you have similar figures and average cultivations. When you stand together, you look like brothers." Lin Yue pursed her lips and chuckled. It was obvious that she was in a good mood.
The clone secretly thought that they weren't just brothers, they were the same person. Lin Yue continued, "But Junior Brother is much more handsome than Lu Yiye." On the main body's side, Elder Wan didn't have much to say. He simply asked about the previous situation, and Lu Ye picked up some things that could be said.
By the time the two of them returned to Startling Waves Lake Pass, the battle here was already nearing its end. Many soldiers charged out of the pass and formed different formations under the effect of the Kindred Formation Disk, rapidly reaping the lives of the insectoids.
Lu Ye and Elder Wan didn't have any intention of interfering. They just wandered around the battlefield to provide support, allowing the soldiers to vent their fighting spirit. After half a day, all the insect race had been exterminated. Only then did the soldiers begin to clean up the battlefield and collect the corpses of their fallen companions. Lu Ye found Elder Wan and said, "Elder Wan, this matter is over. I should leave."
He came out for two things only, but there were some hiccups along the way. Due to fate, he got involved in this insect tide. Now that everything was settled, there was no need to stay. Elder Wan was communicating with someone. Hearing this, he raised his hand and motioned for Lu Ye to not speak. Lu Ye stood quietly and waited. After a while, Elder Wan ended the communication and looked at Lu Ye, "The Shocking Waves Lake Pass is now without a leader. You need to stay here for the time being." Lu Ye was stunned, "With Elder Wan here, why do I need to stay here?" Elder Wan said, "I'm the You Ji Protector. I'm not limited to a certain pass. This old master will go wherever he is needed. There are new tasks from above, so this old master needs to leave now."
"Then transfer some other Divine Sea Realm cultivators. I'm only a Second-Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator now. How can I stay here?"
Elder Wan looked at him meaningfully, "Although your cultivation is low, your strength isn't weak. There's no need to be so modest. Moreover, there's a shortage of manpower everywhere right now. For the time being, we can't transfer anyone suitable to stay here. You can keep the position of Pass Master for now.
If it were any other Divine Sea Realm cultivator, they might not have such prestige. So, right now, you are the most suitable candidate.
"But I'm from the Law Division." Lu Ye still wanted to struggle. Staying at a pass wasn't a good thing. If he had a choice, he would rather choose the You Ji Protector position. It would give him more freedom to move around. "The Law Division is also part of the State Guard. I've already reported this matter to the State Guard. Someone from Department Lord Qian's side will go greet them. That's all, this old master has a task to attend to, so I'll take my leave first."
As soon as he finished speaking, Elder Wan shot up into the sky and disappeared. Lu Ye watched him leave, speechless. He didn't understand how the situation had developed to this point. Inexplicably, he had become the Pass Master. Although his clone was also the Pass Master, there was still Lin Yue above him, so he didn't have a say in everything.
But the situation here at Shocking Waves Lake Pass was different. There was no one above him, so he was the Pass Master.
Yu Huang hurriedly ran in front of him and cupped his fists, "This subordinate greets Sir Pass Master."
Lu Ye didn't know where he had heard this news, but it was probably Elder Wan who had told him. "What's the matter?" Lu Ye asked.
Yu Huang handed over a jade slip, "This is the number of casualties in this battle. Please take a look, Sir."
Lu Ye took it and scanned through it. This time, a group of people had died at Shocking Waves Lake Pass. There weren't many of them, only a few dozen. If it was in the past, this number of casualties wouldn't be a big deal for a Mountain Pass. But now, all the Mountain Passes were short of manpower, so this number of casualties wasn't small.
Lu Ye didn't know how to deal with it, but thinking about what his clone had seen at Dark Moon Forest Pass, he said, "Find someone to transport the corpses back to Grand Sky City. Send out an obituary notice and ask the sects and families behind them to take the corpses back." "Yes." Yu Huang accepted the order and left. It didn't seem too difficult, Lu Ye thought. Suddenly, a message came from the battlefield imprint. He checked it and found that it was from Gan Wudang. He immediately scolded him. "Bastard, why didn't you stay in Grand Sky City? Why did you come to Shocking Waves Lake Pass?"
Gan Wudang was furious. It wasn't easy for the Law Division to produce such a talented person. Last time at the Grand Council, even Military Supply Minister Chao Ye's request to conscript Lu Ye was rejected by him, but now, Lu Ye had come running to Shocking Waves Lake Pass, not putting him in his eyes at all. "I was bored sitting in seclusion, so I decided to take a walk. When I came here, I happened to encounter an insect tide and decided to lend a hand." Lu Ye hurriedly replied. "Did you know Liu Yuemei died?" Gan Wudang asked again. "I heard, how did she die?"
"I wanted to ask you, did you kill her?" Gan Wudang's suspicions were normal. Back then, Liu Yuemei had disregarded her status and bullied the weak to hunt down Lu Ye. At that time, he and the Sect Master had come to save her. With such grievances, Lu Ye had a motive to kill Liu Yuemei. "Senior must be joking, I'm just a Second-Order Divine Sea cultivator while Liu Yuemei is already a Seventh-Order, how could I possibly kill her?"
"You alone can't, but what if Li Tai Bai joins you?" Senior also knows about Li Tai Bai, "Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat. Old Wan really had a big mouth, spreading the news so quickly. But thinking about it, some things couldn't be hidden, and from Old Wan's perspective, there was no need to hide anything. Lu Ye was a Second-Order Divine Sea cultivator, and if he wanted to take charge of this Mountain Pass, he needed to have a decent battle record. "I just found out, and I heard that Li Tai Bai has a grudge with Liu Yuemei for killing his son!"
It had to be admitted that these Divine Sea Realm cultivators with high status were very well-informed, so it was no wonder Gan Wudang had such suspicions. Both Lu Yiye and Li Taibai had great enmity with Liu Yuemei, but both of them had the ability to kill enemies above their level. Adding on the fact that they were familiar with each other, it was still possible for them to kill Liu Yuemei. On top of that, the timing of Lu Ye's appearance here was too coincidental, so Gan Wudang had no choice but to speculate.
"Senior, I'm really innocent. I don't know Li Tai Bai, and today was the first time we met. On top of that, he's from Myriad Demon Ridge, so how could I possibly associate myself with him?"
Liu Yuemei's death was something Lu Ye couldn't admit to, even if he was facing Gan Wudang.
"As long as you believe it," Gan Wudang was too lazy to say anything more to him, "But right now, you need to take charge of Shocking Waves Lake Pass. Who told you to show up at the right time and display such outstanding strength? Perhaps the Xu Province Guard can transfer people to replace you, or perhaps they can't. In any case, there is one thing you need to remember, you are a member of the Law Division, no one can change that."
