Sending a message directly was a good idea. Nowadays, there were already some Heaven's Fate Pillars set up all over the Peerless Continent. Cultivators could use them as hubs to communicate with each other. This was also the reason why the nine teams could quickly assemble after fighting their own battles.
However, Lu Ye didn't plan to send a message. After not seeing each other for so long, he had to give her a surprise.
It wasn't that there was no way to find her, because Yi Yi had contacted her before and knew the approximate location. Lu Ye decided to look for it himself first. If he really couldn't find her, it wouldn't be too late to send a message.
Following the direction Yi Yi had pointed out, Lu Ye leaped up and flew at a low altitude.
Along the way, he encountered some Nine States cultivators from time to time.
Although there were many Spirit Sea Realm cultivators active on the Peerless Continent, it was rare to see cultivators above the Seventh Order Spirit Sea Realm. This was because cultivators at this level had accumulated enough merit in the previous insect plague and the expedition to the Blood Refining World. Their main goal now was to constantly improve their cultivation and strive to take that step as soon as possible. Basically, cultivators above this level stayed in the Nine States to cultivate.
Only cultivators with insufficient cultivation and merit would come to the Peerless Continent to fish for benefits.
Therefore, after sensing Lu Ye's Ninth Order Spirit Sea Realm aura from afar, the cultivators of the Nine States didn't feel any sense of familiarity. Instead, they quickly distanced themselves, subconsciously thinking that he was here to snatch the job.
Lu Ye didn't care.
One of the problems with flying at a low altitude was that it was easy to alarm the hibernating Corpse Race. However, Lu Ye generally just passed by and didn't plan to attack.
Just as Fourth Senior Brother Li Baxian said, these Corpse Race cultivators were all merit points.
For the cultivators of Nine Regions, this was a meritorious service. The more he killed, the less the other cultivators would kill. This thing called meritorious service was no longer of any use to him, so there was no need to compete with others.
Flying like this for hundreds of thousands of kilometres, in the beginning, he could often see traces of cultivators, but the further he went, the harder it was to see living people.
Lu Ye knew that he had probably walked out of the active range of the Nine States cultivators.
However, there was still no trace of that woman.
The direction was correct. Yi Yi had specifically pointed out this direction before. If he still couldn't find her, then either he had missed her or she was in a deeper location! Lu Ye was inclined towards the latter possibility. It was not because he felt that Hua Ci was very strong, but because this woman's cultivation method was different from ordinary cultivators.
She didn't have much desire for battle achievements, because spiritual stones and spiritual pills weren't the most important means of cultivation, let alone the method of guiding the mysteries of heaven.
She liked to cultivate in places with highly toxic substances. Corpse poison was also poison, so the overall environment of the Wushuang Continent was quite suitable for Hua Ci.
Since that was the case, she would definitely choose a place with fewer people. This was also the reason why she didn't come over when Team D9 was gathering. She wouldn't get any practical benefits from killing corpses.
If he wanted to be sparsely populated, he would have to go deeper than others! Although she was a delicate woman, she was actually more courageous than anyone else. Moreover, she was able to endure the loneliness of cultivating alone.
The Spirit Stream Battlefield's Ten Thousand Poisons Forest and the Cloud River Battlefield's Five Poisons Pond were forbidden lands that ordinary cultivators wouldn't dare to enter. However, they were her favorite places.
He continued forward and flew for another few hundred thousand miles, but still found nothing. Lu Ye felt that he would not be able to find her with his own ability.
Sighing slightly, he could only send a message to inquire. Just as he was about to do so, his gaze looked in another direction. That location seemed to be different from other places.
Although the other places on the Wushuang Continent were barren and desolate, and corpses ran rampant, there was absolutely no sign of such dense corpse clouds gathering.
Lu Ye's mind moved, and he flew in that direction.
The closer he got, the more he could feel the density of the corpse clouds. This should be a very large valley. Dark green corpse clouds gathered in the valley. Even if there was a fierce wind, it wouldn't disperse.
There should be a lot of corpses gathered here! Otherwise, it would be impossible to gather such a scale of corpse clouds. Such a dangerous place, even if Team D9 came, they would probably shake their heads. They wouldn't be able to go deep, let alone fish for battle achievements.
Lu Ye was originally just curious, but when his divine sense penetrated the corpse clouds and swept over the situation in the valley, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he revealed a smile.
This was really traveling far and wide in search of something, only to find it without any effort. He was wondering why such a dense corpse cloud gathered in this place. It turned out that it wasn't naturally formed, but man-made traces.
After crossing nearly a million miles, he finally found such a place.
There was no prior communication between them, so Lu Ye didn't know if this could be considered a tacit understanding.
Descending straight into the valley, Lu Ye broke into the corpse clouds.
Inside.
The next moment, Lu Ye felt an abnormal movement in his Talent Tree. Looking at it with rapt attention, he saw a large amount of grey mist appear.
[En, very poisonous!]
Immediately pushing his Spirit Qi to isolate himself, Lu Ye's Talent Tree finally stopped responding.
Landing in the valley, Lu Ye looked down and saw that there were bright red mushrooms all around him. At first glance, it was obvious they were highly poisonous.
Because of the corpse clouds, Lu Ye couldn't see too far, but he felt that this entire valley was filled with these poisonous mushrooms.
This was undoubtedly a unique method of that woman, but what made Lu Ye a little curious was that he didn't sense it.
He was aware of the other party's aura.
One had to know that with his current Ninth Order Divine Sea cultivation, his Divine Sense was extremely powerful, and his perception was extremely keen.
Lu Ye wasn't in a hurry to search for her. Since he had already arrived, he would definitely be able to find her. Driven by curiosity, Lu Ye bent down, pinched a mushroom at his feet, and plucked it slightly.
It didn't budge!
This was quite outrageous. Mushrooms grew on the ground and generally didn't have a very developed root system, so they could be picked at will.
But at this moment, Lu Ye felt that this mushroom seemed to be growing on something and was closely connected to it.
Using a little more strength, Lu Ye finally managed to pull it out.
But as the mushroom was pulled out, a rotten smell wafted into Lu Ye's nose, followed by a head full of rotten flesh that looked like a radish being pulled out of the ground. Half of the head's face was missing, revealing only a few pieces of flesh.
Only one of the head's eyes was intact, the other half hanging under its eyelid.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment and stared at the head for a while.
Suddenly, the other party's eyes moved stiffly and its turbid eyes stared straight at Lu Ye!
Lu Ye hesitated for a moment before exerting a little more strength in his hand, and before the other party could roar, he pushed it back into the ground and stomped on the ground a few times, solidifying the soil around the mushroom.
* Roar! * When the roar came out, the tranquility of the valley was broken. Then, the corpse clouds rolled, and the mushrooms moved.
With a rustling sound, the figures of the Corpse Clan jumped out from the ground. Basically, they were all rotten corpses. Some were missing arms, some were missing legs, some had their stomachs cut open, and some were missing half of their heads.
Each and every one of them was unique. If this scene was called timid …
If someone saw it, they would probably lose two of their three souls first.
However, without exception, these Corpse Clan members all had an incomparably bright mushroom on their heads. It was the same ones that Lu Ye had seen before.
Only now did he realize that the number of mushrooms he had seen before was how many Corpse Clan members were hidden underground!
It wasn't that he wasn't careful enough, but these Corpse Clan members didn't reveal the slightest bit of their aura when they were hibernating. If Lu Ye hadn't pulled out a Corpse Clan member when he was pulling out the mushroom, he wouldn't have known that there were such methods underground.
He simply thought that someone was using the corpse clouds here to cultivate their own mushrooms.
Now it seemed that these mushrooms were probably a method to control these Corpse Clan members. Otherwise, there was no reason for one to be planted on each Corpse Clan member's head.
The Corpse Clan members bared their fangs and brandished their claws arrogantly. They slowly approached Lu Ye, giving him a sense of oppression.
Lu Ye stood there carelessly and shouted with an exaggerated expression, "Help, someone wants to murder her husband!
A soft snort came from the side with a trace of disdain, "What nonsense are you talking about? Who's your husband?
Lu Ye looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman in a long green dress standing there with a faint smile. Amidst the baring fangs and brandishing claws of countless Corpse Race members, it was a different kind of scenery.
Four eyes met, and Hua Ci said, "Fortunately, there's no one here, or else your reputation would be ruined by you!
"What do you want reputation for?" Lu Ye was surprised.
"I have to get married." Hua Ci blinked, looking somewhat provocative.
Lu Ye gave a meaningful 'oh' and nodded, "When you get married one day, let me know. I'll definitely prepare a big gift for you!"
Hua Ci smiled gently, "Okay, when the time comes, you'll be the first to know!
Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, Lu Ye didn't feel any sense of unfamiliarity. After bickering for a while, Lu Ye smiled and said, "I'm afraid no man can stand the way you're acting like a corpse!
"That's none of your business!" Hua Ci curled her lips.
Lu Ye laughed loudly and stepped forward, opening his arms to give her a hug.
Hua Ci gently raised a finger and tapped his forehead, stopping his movements, a vigilant look on her face, "You want to take advantage of me as soon as you get here? Do you think I'm still as ignorant as before?"
Lu Ye was helpless, unable to take advantage of her, and said with a frown, "You've changed! ‘
Hua Ci said with a smile, "The next time you see me, you'll change even more.
When Lu Ye thought of that scene, he scratched his head and simply changed the topic, "You've been here all this time?"
"En, how did you find me?"
"Yi Yi pointed me in a direction, so I just looked around and found this place. What are you doing here?"
Raising corpses. "Hua Ci smiled slightly," Look at these little things, they're so cute. "
Lu Ye turned his head to look at the many Corpse Clan members on the side and really didn't find anything cute about them, but he roughly understood that Hua Ci was raising corpses here because she was using the Corpse Clan's Corpse Poison to cultivate. This was also a cultivation method that belonged to her alone, and others couldn't imitate it.
