Another saber fell, and with a clanging sound, sparks flew. Lan Yudie, who should have been forced back by this saber, didn't. At some unknown time, a short saber had appeared in her hand. It was this short saber that had blocked Lu Ye's attack.
Lu Ye hurriedly retracted his blade and slashed again.
Lan Yudie snorted coldly. "Too big of an opening!"
Even though Lu Ye saw this punch, he was unable to guard against it. In a hurry, a defensive spirit rune appeared in front of his abdomen.
With a boom, spirit energy exploded. This punch sent Lu Ye back seventy to eighty feet. His stomach churned and he almost couldn't breathe.
Lan Yudie was astonished. "What was that?"
She felt that her punch had shattered something, but in the fierce battle, she didn't see it clearly.
She didn't have time to think. Lu Ye, who had just stabilized himself, rushed towards her like a gust of wind. Her vision was immediately filled with the gleam of a blade.
Lan Yudie twisted her body to dodge. Her aura began to change and her speed became even faster than before.
Clanging sounds continuously rang out as the long and short blades collided, creating a continuous symphony in the night.
"Roar!" Hu Po suddenly pounced from behind Lan Yudie. This woman seemed to have eyes on the back of her head as she easily dodged. At the same time, she kicked out and sent the sturdy Hu Po flying.
However, in midair, Hu Po's long tail curled and lashed out at Lan Yudie like a whip. This caught Lan Yudie off guard. She gritted her teeth and growled, "What a fierce beast!"
She hurriedly retreated.
At the same time, Lu Ye had already scurried to Hu Po's side. He flipped onto the tiger's back and prepared to flee. Although they hadn't fought for long, he was certain that he wasn't this woman's match. If he didn't run now, when would he?
However, his expression soon turned serious. This was because several spirit energy fluctuations were rapidly approaching from all directions. In the blink of an eye, they were right in front of him.
"This … Why are they fighting?" A youth stared at the messy battlefield, dumbfounded.
They had originally planned to protect them from the shadows not far away. However, when they heard the sounds of battle, they thought that the people of Myriad Devil Ridge had attacked and hurried over to provide support. They didn't expect to see this scene.
"Stop fighting, stop fighting, stop fighting," someone shouted.
Someone shouted, "Junior Brother Lu, please calm down. This is a misunderstanding!"
Riding atop the tiger's back, Lu Ye glanced around coldly. There were six people here, three of whom were Sixth Order while the other three were Fifth Order. If he wasn't mistaken, one of the people who had shouted just now was the one who had chased after Lan Yu Die.
These guys were in cahoots.
Surrounded by such a powerful team, Lu Ye could only choose to escape from the direction of the Fifth-Order masters, and even then, he might not succeed!
However, what made Lu Ye somewhat concerned was that these people did not show any hostility towards him. One of them even addressed him as Junior Brother Lu!
Ever since he had entered the Spirit Stream Battlefield, other than the Loose Rangers Society members and Yiyi, no one else knew his surname. Whenever he interacted with outsiders, he referred to himself as One Leaf.
How did this person know that his surname was Lu?
There was also the strange encounter in the past few days … He faintly felt that there was a connection between these things.
The Sixth-Order who had just spoken walked over to Lan Yu Die and asked in confusion, "Why are you fighting with him?"
Didn't she say that she would stay by his side and protect him? How could she protect him like this?
Lan Yu Die also came back to her senses and wore an embarrassed expression, "I couldn't hold myself back!" The main reason was because this little brat had actually drugged her and she had fallen for it.
However, the fight just now had allowed her to see how terrifying this Fifth Order Lu Ye was. This guy's fighting style was too aggressive, and his attacks were extremely ruthless. She had never seen such a Fifth Order master before.
Compared to him, her own Fifth Order master was as gentle as a little white rabbit.
No wonder that group of Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators had been cut down like melons and vegetables during the day. His powerful aggressiveness and ruthless attacks could easily intimidate cultivators in the same realm and cause them to succumb to his blade.
"Who are you?"
Lu Ye did not relax his vigilance. When he asked this question, he glanced towards one of the Fifth Order masters. Breaking through from this side had the highest chance of success.
The young man who had spoken earlier secretly felt a headache. He could see Lu Ye's vigilance and distrust, which was understandable. If he were in Lu Ye's position, he would also not easily trust a group of strangers.
He did not directly answer Lu Ye's question to avoid any more misunderstandings. At the same time, to ensure that the conversation went smoothly, he raised his hand and said solemnly, "Purple Cloud Mountain's Qi Xin respectfully invites Heaven's Secret. The seven of us have no malice towards Junior Brother Lu Ye and are only here for the Sect's mission. Please bear witness to this!"
Something seemed to fall from the heavens.
Qi Xin looked at Lu Ye on the tiger's back and said, "Junior Brother, please calm down."
Lu Ye frowned and slowly sheathed his long saber. The Heaven's Secret Oath was not something to be trifled with. Since the other party dared to swear such an oath, it meant that they had no malice towards him.
Qi Xin's face turned solemn, "I know that Junior Brother must have a lot of questions, but this is not the place to talk. Junior Brother, please follow us to a secluded place, how about it?"
Lu Ye was silent for a moment before nodding, "Alright!"
He really did have a lot of questions now.
"Please!" Qi Xin stretched out his hand and led the way. The others also stepped forward to follow him.
"Wait a moment!" Lan Yudie raised her hand.
"Senior Sister, what's the matter?" Qi Xin turned around and asked.
Lan Yudie's expression was somewhat awkward, "I've been poisoned. I can't circulate my Spiritual Power, so I can't walk!" Although she had forcibly suppressed the poison, it had only caused it to erupt even more violently. At this moment, her Spiritual Power was like stagnant water, unable to be circulated at all.
Everyone was shocked, "Who did it?"
Lan Yudie turned her head to look at Lu Ye, while Lu Ye looked to the side at the night.
The group's expressions became strange. Some people wanted to laugh but did not dare to. Their shoulders trembled as they tried to hold back their laughter. However, they finally understood why their Senior Sister had obviously gone to protect Lu Ye, yet ended up fighting.
No one would be able to bear such a thing.
Qi Xin said weakly, "Then should I carry you?"
"Scram! This old lady doesn't want you to carry her!" Lan Yudie flatly refused, then looked at Lu Ye and said, "Whoever did it will take responsibility. Let your mount carry me!"
Lu Ye thought for a moment, then raised his hand and patted the tiger's back.
Lan Yudie stepped forward and jumped onto the tiger's back. Hu Po was somewhat unwilling, but he still endured it.
"Let's go." Qi Xin continued to lead the way. The group moved forward in silence, their speed extremely fast.
Two hours later, everyone found a cave to hide in.
Lu Ye waited for the group from Purple Cloud Mountain to enter before leading Hu Po in. He naturally could not hide his intentions, but everyone pretended not to notice.
The cave was dry, so everyone sat down cross-legged.
Lu Ye was the first to speak, "How do you know my name?"
Qi Xin laughed when he heard this, "Junior Brother really doesn't know anything about your situation?"
"In what way?"
"It seems that Junior Brother really doesn't understand his situation, haa." Qi Xin sighed and said, "Junior Brother's identity has already been exposed. Now, not only do we know that you are a disciple of the Blue Blood Sect, but many people throughout the Spirit Stream Battlefield also know."
Lu Ye frowned.
His identity had been exposed? How had it been exposed? Also, what did 'many people' mean?
Ever since he entered the Spirit Stream Battlefield, he had been very careful and cautious. Before entering, the Sect Master had warned him not to expose his identity as a disciple of the Blue Blood Sect.
Although he did not know why the Sect Master had warned him, the Sect Master would not harm him.
When interacting with outsiders, he only referred to himself as Yi Ye. Even if Hua Ci and the others knew his name, it was impossible for them to know his background.
Only one person had recognized him, and that person was a slave miner he had once worked with in Evil Moon Valley's mine at the entrance of Yi An City's Heavenly Secret Commerce Union.
That was just a coincidence. Lu Ye did not say much to the slave miner at the time and quickly left after being recognized.
However, after leaving Yi An City, he was hunted down by Dong Shuye …
He suddenly remembered that before Dong Shuye died, he had used the battlefield mark to send a message. At that time, he had thought that Dong Shuye was gathering helpers, but no one had come to kill him, so the matter had been left unsettled.
Dong Shuye would have died without a doubt, and even if he had gathered helpers, it would have been too late. But what if he was not gathering helpers?
Was it Dong Shuye? When the Burning Moon Mountain disciple from Yi An City had contacted him, Dong Shuye had seen him. Perhaps he had used some method to inquire about his background from that person …
Before Dong Shuye died, he had said that he would wait for him on the road to the Yellow Springs. It sounded like the useless barking of a dying man, but what if he really felt that way?
"What's wrong with my identity?"
This was what Lu Ye did not understand the most. Before he entered the Spirit Stream Battlefield, the Sect Master had specifically warned him about this matter so that Lu Ye would understand that revealing his identity would not benefit him.
He had once guessed that the Jade Blood Sect might have done something that angered the heavens and caused the Jade Blood Sect's disciples to be in a bad situation on the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
"I don't know what the specific problem is, but it's related to some old secrets. I only know that the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield is in chaos because of Junior Brother. Many sects in Myriad Demon Ridge want you dead, and many sects in Grand Heaven Alliance are thinking of ways to protect you. Our Purple Cloud Mountain is one of them. We have received orders from our Master to come and find you."
Lu Ye was confused when he heard this, "The Spirit Stream Battlefield is in chaos because of me?"
He was just a Fifth-Order cultivator, so how could he influence the situation of the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield?
The root cause was definitely not him, but his identity as a disciple of the Jade Blood Sect.
If Qi Xin had not lied to him, then the Sect he had been forced to choose seemed to be hiding some incredible secrets.
"We young people don't know the specifics of the past, but as far as I know, the Jade Blood Sect was still a First-Grade Sect a few decades ago." Lan Yu Die, who had been dispelling the pill toxins, suddenly spoke. She had the highest cultivation, so she knew more, "Later, for some unknown reason, the Sect's grade fell year after year until it finally fell to the Ninth-Order and was on the verge of being abolished. The Jade Blood Sect has not accepted any disciples for thirty years, and if no new disciples join the Sect, the Sect's name will be completely erased in two months' time during the Sect's grade assessment.
