Lu Ye was more or less on guard against Ghost. He didn't think she would be so despicable as to ambush him here.
In fact, Ghost didn't do that. However, Lu Ye didn't expect her to be the one being hunted.
Seeing Lu Ye take out his Star Boat, Ghost panicked and transmitted her voice, "Don't run! Fight him with me!"
Fight my ass!
Lu Ye ignored her. The Star Boat slowly picked up speed and turned into a streak of light that shot into the distance.
Ghost couldn't help but sigh. "Since that's the case, don't blame me for what I do!"
Lu Ye suddenly had an ominous feeling.
Sure enough, in the next moment, he heard Ghost shouting behind him, "Fa Wuzun, save me!"
Yue Yao, who was chasing Ghost, couldn't help but feel shocked when she heard the name Fa Wuzun. The reason he was chasing Ghost was because she had killed a disciple he thought highly of. Although Ghost's cultivation base was inferior to his, her ability to escape was top-notch. He had been chasing her for several days, but he hadn't been able to catch her.
However, Ghost was on the verge of collapsing. In half a day at most, she would be cornered.
Yue Yao didn't pay much attention to the person who had appeared on Ghost's path of escape. While chasing Ghost, she had encountered some cultivators passing by. However, those cultivators had all avoided her, just like this person.
However, when Ghost called out Fa Wuzun's name, he couldn't help but pay attention.
This person was an expert from a faction stationed on the Myriad Manifestations Sea. His faction was currently researching how to mass-produce Twin Qi Connecting Formation Disks. Unfortunately, they hadn't made much progress. Since this thing came from Fa Wuzun, he would definitely be able to mass-produce it.
Every faction was very interested in a treasure that could change the situation of the cultivation world. Many people were looking for Fa Wuzun. Unfortunately, after the chaotic battle, Fa Wuzun seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. There was no trace of him.
Yue Yao didn't expect to run into Fa Wuzun here. When he looked carefully, he found that the figure was indeed very similar.
He had never seen Fa Wuzun before. However, during the auction, someone had secretly taken a photo of Fa Wuzun's appearance, so he had seen him before.
If this person was really Fa Wuzun, he couldn't miss this chance.
Seeing that Lu Ye's Star Boat was getting faster and faster, Yue Yao made a prompt decision. She raised her hand and shot out a beam of golden light.
Standing on the deck of the Star Boat, Lu Ye summoned all of his spiritual power. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of danger. Without any hesitation, he spun around and slashed out with his saber.
Not only did this saber strike have the shadow of the Tyrant Saber Art, but it also had the traces of the small saber inheritance. In addition to his current late-stage Constellation Realm cultivation, it could be said to be the strongest saber strike he had executed so far.
The blade struck the golden light, but Lu Ye didn't feel the slightest bit of force. Just as he was thinking that things weren't looking good, the golden light had already circled around the Mountain Pan Blade and was heading straight for his face.
Lu Ye's body leaned to the side, and the golden light swept past his ear, causing a few strands of hair to flutter in the air.
The golden light did not attack him again. Instead, it flew back in a circle.
Lu Ye also pushed the Star Boat to the limit, and it turned into a streak of light that shot into the distance. In his field of vision, Yue Yao's figure was rapidly shrinking.
He inwardly rejoiced that he had acted fast enough. Otherwise, if Yue Yao had caught up to him, it would have been troublesome.
However, if that had really happened, he could have used the Void Spirit Mark to escape. Yue Yao might not have been able to do anything to him. Back when he was in the early stage of the Constellation Realm, hadn't he also used this move to evade Tang Jun's pursuit?
When he turned around and saw that Yue Yao had no intention of pursuing him, Lu Ye couldn't help but frown slightly. He had a feeling that things weren't as simple as they seemed.
Watching Lu Ye's departing figure, Yue Yao looked around but didn't see any trace of Spectre. However, he knew that Spectre was definitely hiding somewhere nearby. Spectre had done the same thing several times during their previous pursuit. It had taken him a lot of effort to find her.
However, now wasn't the time to deal with this ghoul. In terms of value, Fa Wuzun was much more valuable than this ghoul.
"Obediently go to Myriad World Island to receive your punishment within ten days. Otherwise, I won't spare you even if you're that person's disciple!"
After speaking, Yue Yao lowered her head and looked at the item in her hand. It was half a rope. It was completely golden. It was the original body of the golden light that had attacked Lu Ye.
He had thought that Lu Ye wouldn't be able to block his attack. However, he had underestimated Lu Ye's strength and reaction speed. His casual attack hadn't been able to do much to Lu Ye. Therefore, when he saw that he couldn't stop Lu Ye from escaping, he settled for the next best thing and took something from Lu Ye.
At this moment, there were a few broken strands of hair wrapped around the rope.
Yue Yao looked reluctant to part with it, but she still steeled her heart. She clenched her fist, and as her spiritual power surged, the rope suddenly released a golden light. Then, it began to burn as if it was on fire.
This half of the golden rope was a treasure at the level of a magic treasure. Moreover, it was a rare treasure. After being burned, it was naturally destroyed.
However, compared to Fa Wuzun's value, what was a magic treasure?
A moment later, Yue Yao opened her hand. The golden rope had disappeared, and in its place was a golden mark on her palm.
He looked at it for a moment, then chased after it.
Moments after he left, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in the nearby starry sky. It was Spectre, who had been hiding here all this time.
She looked in the direction Yue Yao had left in and knew that something was wrong. She hurriedly sent a message to Lu Ye. "I don't know what kind of secret technique that person used. I'm afraid he can track your whereabouts. Be careful!"
She had no choice but to involve Fa Wuzun in this dispute. After all, she had no way of escaping from the pursuit of a mid-stage Yue Yao. Two days ago, Fa Wuzun had sent her a message, so she took the opportunity to give him a rendezvous point. She had hoped to join forces with Fa Wuzun to resist the enemy, but who would have thought that it wouldn't work out?
However, if Fa Wuzun was really captured or killed because of this, she would feel guilty. No matter what, Fa Wuzun had been a great help in the battle against the Dried Skeleton General.
She was naturally willing to give Fa Wuzun a kind warning. However, she was still a little worried, so she silently followed the mid-stage Yue Yao from afar.
Almost as soon as the golden rope burned, Lu Ye felt that something was wrong. It was as if something was secretly watching him. No matter how fast he drove the Star Boat, he couldn't shake it off.
Originally, he wasn't sure what was going on, but after seeing Spectre's message, Lu Ye realized that Yue Yao hadn't given up on him. Instead, she had used some kind of secret technique to track his whereabouts.
"I'll deal with you later!" Lu Ye replied viciously.
Originally, he had planned to return to the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea directly, but now he couldn't. If Yue Yao really had the ability to track his whereabouts, Peerless Island couldn't be exposed.
Hiding on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island was one way. No one could attack him there, but he couldn't hide on the Ten Thousand Elephant Island forever. Moreover, he couldn't determine how long this secret technique would last.
Spectre could feel the anger in Lu Ye's heart, so she could only reply, "I didn't have a choice. I originally wanted to join forces with you, but who knew you would run away so quickly? I was wrong. If you survive, I'll make it up to you later!"
He didn't need to think about making it up to her for the time being. What he needed to think about now was how to solve his current predicament.
Just as he was thinking, the feeling of being watched suddenly intensified. Lu Ye turned around and saw a dot of light rapidly approaching him from the distance. It was much faster than he was.
Surprisingly, Yue Yao was also chasing after him on her Star Boat.
Although they were both using Star Boats, Yue Yao's cultivation was higher, and her Star Boat was better than his. If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before she caught up to him.
Lu Ye could only raise his hand and send out a flying artifact. At the same time, he drove the Star Boat with all his might to stall for time.
Less than an hour later, the distance between them had almost reached a critical point. Sensing the surge of Yue Yao's spiritual energy behind him, Lu Ye realized that she was about to make a move. He didn't even bother with the Star Boat. He directly activated the Void Spirit Mark and left.
Yue Yao, who was about to make a move, frowned. Even she couldn't see how Lu Ye had disappeared.
She quickly lowered her head and looked at her palm. To her surprise, she discovered that the golden mark was pointing in another direction. Based on her senses, she could sense that Fa Wuzun was already thousands of kilometers away!
How did he do it? She couldn't possibly say that Fa Wuzun's Star Boat had a teleportation formation that connected it to another place, right?
The secret technique's guidance couldn't be wrong. She quickly changed direction and flew in the direction the mark was pointing.
In that direction, Lu Ye had already sent out a few flying artifacts in advance. He was also fleeing with all his might.
However, not long after, he sensed that Yue Yao was already chasing after him. He had no choice but to activate the Void Spirit Mark again and change his position.
After several times of fleeing, Lu Ye discovered that no matter what he did, he couldn't shake off Yue Yao's pursuit.
It seemed that unless he killed Yue Yao this time, he wouldn't be able to shake her off.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ye made his decision.
He set his sights on a desolate star and flew toward it.
He hurriedly broke into the desolate star. As soon as he arrived, he heard a shout from behind him, "You can't escape. Surrender obediently and I won't make things difficult for you. But if I capture you, you'll have to suffer a little!"
Lu Ye naturally ignored him. Seeing that he didn't have much time left, he couldn't afford to be picky. He directly took out the Azure Sea Conch, poured his spiritual energy into it, and blew it.
At the same time, he stared in the direction Yue Yao was coming from with a seemingly panicked expression.
The sound of the conch reverberated, and a blue light flashed.
Yue Yao had already flown into the desolate star. She saw Lu Ye's actions from afar. Although she didn't know what he was going to do, she still pressed her palm down from afar.
A huge palm print appeared out of thin air. It descended as if the sky had collapsed, instantly engulfing Lu Ye's figure.
Dust flew everywhere. The scene was chaotic.
