"We've found him, what should we do next? Should we approach him directly? "A Sixth Order cultivator in the team asked.
"That's not appropriate," another person shook his head. "It's better to protect him in secret. Many Sects in Myriad Demon Ridge have already taken action. We're close and came early, which is an advantage, but if we expose ourselves in the open, we'll be easily targeted. Moreover, this person should be unclear about his current situation. If we approach him rashly, it'll be counterproductive. It won't be good if he harbors ill feelings towards us."
"But protecting him in secret might not be enough to protect him."
"If it were up to me, just knock him out and take him away!" A burly man suggested.
Everyone turned to look at him. The burly man was at a loss, "Am I wrong?"
"Yes," A Sixth Order cultivator nodded, "Go knock him out!"
The burly man shrunk his neck, "I'm afraid I'll be cut by him!" Although he was a Sixth Order cultivator, he wasn't sure if he could win against that boy. That boy's attack just now was too fierce.
In the end, it was the Seventh Order female cultivator who made the decision, "I'll contact him and protect him. The rest of you follow him in secret."
No one had any objections to her decision.
But soon, everyone's expression became strange because the female cultivator tore at her clothes as she walked forward. She even used her hands to support her chest and tried to squeeze in the middle ….
A Sixth Order cultivator couldn't bear to watch. For the sake of her Sect's mission, Senior Sister Lan was going all out.
On the other side, Lu Ye rode on Hu Po and continued forward. Not long after, he heard a faint cry for help. He listened carefully and found that it was indeed someone calling for help, and it was a woman.
He didn't immediately go forward. They had encountered a lot of strange things along the way, so it was always right to be cautious.
Not long after, Yi Yi, who had been scouting ahead, returned and conveyed a message to Lu Ye. A woman was injured. It seemed that she had encountered some kind of Monster Beast, but there were no traces of traps nearby.
Lu Ye nodded and had Hu Po change direction slightly.
Senior Sister Lan, whose clothes were tattered, was still desperately calling for help. Suddenly, her Battlefield Mark moved. She checked it and was stunned, "He ran away?"
[That brat actually ran away?]
[Under normal circumstances, if a woman in the wilderness called for help, wouldn't they run over to check on the situation?] [But why did that brat run away?]
Was he not shouting loudly enough? Was he not miserable enough?
Senior Sister Lan stood up in a daze, a vein popping out on her forehead.
This little bastard, I really want to beat him up!
Not long after, Senior Sister Lan, who had changed into a clean set of clothes, joined the others. Her face was so gloomy that it was about to drip water.
"What do we do now?"
Senior Sister Lan pondered for a moment with a gloomy look on her face. "The original plan is that I'll find a way to get in touch with him, and you guys follow him in secret!"
"We can, but this little brat has a mount and his speed is a bit fast. We can chase him for a few days without any problem, but after a long time, we definitely won't be able to catch up," A Sixth-Order master said.
Senior Sister Lan said, "Don't worry, we only need to protect him for a while. Once we reach the front, people from other sects will come and take over."
Hearing this, everyone calmed down a little. If that was the case, then this mission wouldn't be too difficult.
At night, Lu Ye was eating barbecued meat with Big Tiger beside the bonfire when he suddenly sensed spiritual energy fluctuations nearby. He quickly got up and vigilantly looked at the thick night ahead.
Only a moment later, a figure flew over. Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed the hilt of his saber as he stared coldly at the newcomer.
It was a disheveled woman with an enchanting figure. It was unknown what she had encountered, but at the moment, she looked flustered. After seeing Lu Ye, she rushed straight towards him and shouted, "Senior Brother, save me! Someone wants to kill me!"
Lu Ye slowly drew his saber, and Senior Sister Lan immediately sensed that something was wrong. She had a feeling that if she dared to approach, the boy in front of her would definitely cut her with his saber. The other party's eyes were sending her a very serious message!
[This little brat …]
She quickly stopped, tears welling up in her beautiful eyes. "Senior Brother, save me!" Saying so, she took the initiative to raise the back of her hand, revealing her battle mark.
Behind her, several figures chased after her. One of them paused, glanced over at Lu Ye, and immediately shouted, "It's a Fifth-Order cultivator, run!"
As soon as the voice fell, the few cultivators who chased after her ran away.
Lu Ye frowned slightly and looked at the woman again. Seeing that she was only a Fourth-Order cultivator, he slowly sheathed his saber.
Senior Sister Lan let out a long sigh and looked at Lu Ye pitifully. "Senior Brother, which camp are you on?"
Lu Ye ignored her and continued to eat the barbecued meat. Hu Po raised his paw and gave him a push. Lu Ye leaned back and leaned on Hu Po's belly.
After a moment, his eyes moved slightly.
[Interesting … No wonder this woman's voice sounded familiar. It was the woman who asked for help during the day.]
He had never seen this woman before, but Yiyi had seen her from afar. It was Yiyi who ordered Hu Po to push him.
[This woman couldn't ask for help during the day, so she came to me at night. What does she mean by deliberately getting close to me?]
[And she's from Grand Heaven Alliance …]
While Lu Ye was deep in thought, Senior Sister Lan squeezed out a smile. "Senior Brother, can I hide here for a while?"
"Sure!"
[Why is this little thing so cold and arrogant?] Senior Sister Lan almost couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, but she still squeezed out a smile. "Then I won't be polite."
As she said this, she walked over as if she was familiar with him. She seemed to be unguarded. She seemed to be in a sorry state because she was being hunted down. There were some wounds on her body, and her clothes were stained with blood. Some of her body was exposed.
She sat down in front of the bonfire and stretched out her hands to warm them. She thanked him, "Thank you for what you did just now. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died. I can't repay Senior Martial Brother for saving my life …"
Lu Ye threw a piece of barbecue at her. Senior Sister Lan caught it in a hurry and was stunned for a moment.
[This guy … is cold on the outside but warm on the inside?] Thinking of this, Senior Sister Lan's anger subsided a little. Looking at the beast meat in her hand, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, it was fragrant. Her stomach rumbled and she was hungry, so she started eating.
"Senior Brother, how should I address you?" Senior Sister Lan asked while eating. "I'm Lan Yudie."
"Don't talk when you eat."
"Oh."
"Is it delicious?"
"It's delicious."
"Didn't anyone tell you not to eat things given to you by strangers?" Lu Ye stood up and walked towards Lan Yudie step by step.
Lan Yudie's face changed slightly as she vaguely realized something. She hurriedly threw the barbecue meat in her hand to the ground and pushed her Spirit Qi. It was extremely sluggish and her various major and minor circulations were about to collapse.
Before she could stand up, a long saber was placed against her neck. Staring at each other, Lan Yudie was furious. "Little bastard, you drugged me?"
She finally couldn't hold back the anger she had been suppressing, but what was more important was the humiliation she felt. She was a Seventh Order cultivator, but she had been drugged by a Fifth Order cultivator without anyone noticing. If news of this were to spread, she wouldn't be able to face anyone in the future.
The main thing was that she didn't expect him to do such a thing!
No one would do such a thing!
"Don't worry, that drug will only make your Spirit Qi flow sluggish temporarily. It won't cause any harm."
He had found it in the storage bag of the Nine Stars Sect's Young Master. Later, he had Hua Ci appraise it and memorized the effects of each drug, so he had kept it.
"Tell me, why did you approach me?"
"What?" Lan Yudie was puzzled.
"You were the one crying for help during the day, and now you're the one asking for help at night. Is there such a coincidence?"
"You …" Lan Yudie really didn't understand. This little brat clearly hadn't seen her during the day, so how did he recognize her? Just by her voice?
Looking at Lu Ye, who was looking down at her, Lan Yudie suddenly smiled. "Amazing!" The target of this mission was unexpectedly shrewd.
"You admit it?"
"En!" Lan Yudie lowered her head, her long hair covering her expression.
Lu Ye immediately sensed that something was wrong because the aura around this woman's body was becoming denser at a speed visible to the naked eye. Without any hesitation, he chopped down with his saber.
Lan Yudie, who had been sitting in front of Lu Ye, was now upside down. With one hand on the ground, she kicked at Lu Ye's face.
This kick was so powerful that Lu Ye hurriedly leaned back and retreated a few steps. By the time he stabilized himself, Lan Yudie was already fifteen metres away from him.
She reached out and touched her slender white neck. Her hand was sticky, and the corners of her eyes couldn't help twitching. "Do you really want to kill me?"
If she hadn't dodged fast enough, her head would have been chopped off. [Just how vicious and merciless is this guy?]
Across from her, Lu Ye's expression became dignified because he discovered that this woman wasn't a Fourth-Order cultivator, but a Seventh-Order!
He didn't know what method she had used to hide her cultivation.
No wonder the things he found in the Storage Bag of the Nine Stars Sect Young Master didn't have much of an effect. Her cultivation was three Minor Realms higher than he expected, so it was easy for her to suppress the medicinal properties.
Meanwhile, Hu Po had already hidden himself in the darkness, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
"This old lady is in a bad mood right now, so I've decided to beat you up first!" Lan Yudie said as she suddenly turned into a blur and rushed towards Lu Ye.
[So fast!]
He had never come into contact with a Seventh-Order cultivator before, so he didn't know how powerful a Seventh-Order cultivator's attacks were, but this woman's speed was too fast.
Fortunately, he had the Dragon Spring Body Tempering, otherwise, with his eyesight, he really wouldn't have been able to see her movements.
Lan Yudie's figure rushed towards him from the front, but Lu Ye swung his saber to the side.
The long saber brushed past the tip of Lan Yudie's nose, and she flew back a few steps. She looked at Lu Ye in shock. [Did he see through my movements just now? Or was that slash just a coincidence?]
Without the slightest pause, her figure once again turned into a blur.
Lu Ye constantly adjusted his direction and swung his saber again and again.
A moment later, Lan Yudie was shocked because she discovered that Lu Ye had really seen through her movements. Every slash of his saber landed on her attack path.
