Yan Miao looked at Lu Ye with a smile. "I told you to come here often. It's been so long."
Lu Ye blushed with shame. "I have some trivial matters to attend to. Please forgive me, Grand Elder."
"What's the matter this time?" Yan Miao asked. Under normal circumstances, Lu Ye would not come here. Every time he came, it was for something.
Lu Ye pointed at the Soul woman beside him and explained the situation to Yan Miao.
Yan Miao understood. "So you want her to stay here before you come back."
"Grand Elder, if you don't like it, I can take her with me."
Yan Miao said, "There's nothing wrong with it. She can stay here. The Soul Race … is not very common. They're a rare race in the universe, just like my race. Don't worry. I'll look after her personally. "
The Soul woman's cultivation base was the same as Lu Ye's, late Constellation Realm. Yan Miao had Yue Yao to look after her personally, so he was not afraid that she would cause any trouble.
Lu Ye took out the token that controlled the Soul Race's restriction and handed it to Yan Miao. Then, he turned around and stepped into the door, returning to the desolate planet.
He did not return to Peerless Island. Instead, he took out a sound talisman and sent a message to Chu Shen, explaining the situation. Then, he sent a message to Ban Ci and arranged a meeting place with her. Lu Ye then left on his Star Boat.
When he arrived at the meeting place, he did not see Ban Ci. Lu Ye waited for half a day before he saw a beautiful and exquisite Star Boat flying over. Ban Ci stood on the boat and waved at Lu Ye. "Come up!"
Lu Ye leaped onto the boat and sat not far from Ban Ci.
The journey was not short, but with Ban Ci driving the Star Boat, he did not need to worry too much. He only needed to deduce the spirit runes.
Ban Ci could not sit still. As they traveled, she asked, "Fellow Daoist Li, I see that you're very strong. Why didn't you leave your name on the Constellation Hall ranking?"
Lu Ye did not even raise his head. "Fellow Daoist, you're also quite strong. You didn't leave your name either!"
Ban Ci smiled. "My reasons are a little special. I couldn't participate in the Constellation Hall ranking competition and missed a good opportunity."
Based on Ban Ci's strength, if she really participated in the Constellation Hall ranking competition, it would be easy for her to enter the Constellation Hall.......... She did not need to go through so much trouble to promote Yue Yao....
.... right.......
Lu Ye replied indifferently, "What a coincidence, me too."
After a while, he said, "This time, many powerful people have appeared in the Constellation Hall. One of them is called Fa Wuzun. I wonder if you've heard of him."
"I've heard of it." Lu Ye's expression didn't change as he casually replied.
"Rumor has it that this person had to leave the Constellation Hall midway. Otherwise, he might have been able to obtain first place in the rankings. What a pity."
Lu Ye didn't know why HanCi would suddenly mention Fa Wu Zun. Judging from HanCi's tone and demeanor, it was probably just a casual conversation. However, Lu Ye was Fa Wu Zun. HanCi mentioning this name in front of him made him a little wary.
It was unknown what he thought of, but Half-ci suddenly smiled and said, "Our Island Master has always said that Fa Wuzun is his big brother. I don't know if I'll have the chance to meet this fellow Daoist and ask him for advice in the future."
Lu Ye didn't say anything else. She kept saying half a sentence, but when she didn't get a response, she probably felt bored and stopped talking.
The days of traveling were rather boring. It wasn't until a month later that a Worm Passage suddenly appeared in front of them!
Only then did Lu Ye understand why the secret place was so far away from the Matchless Island. He originally thought that the secret place was in the Wanxiang Galaxy, but now it seemed that the secret place was in another galaxy.
However, it made sense. With so many cultivators coming and going from the Wanxiang Galaxy, if there really was a secret place, it would have been discovered long ago.
Under normal circumstances, there were powerhouses from the galaxy guarding both ends of the Worm Passage. In terms of cultivation base, they were at least at Yue Yao's level. Firstly, it was to prevent the local cultivators from being ambushed when they entered the Wanxiang Galaxy through the Worm Passage. Secondly, it was to prevent people with ill intentions from entering the galaxy through the Worm Passage.
However, this wasn't the case for all of them.
There were some Worm Passages that didn't have any powerhouses guarding them. This kind of situation usually occurred in galaxies without powerful domains. Because there were no powerhouses, it didn't matter if there were guards or not. Anyone could pass through the Worm Passage freely.
Lu Ye didn't know what the situation was like in the galaxy opposite the Worm Passage. However, he guessed that there were no powerhouses there. In other words, there might not even be a Constellation Hall.
Half Ci didn't slow down at all. He steered the Planetary Boat toward the Worm Passage and directly entered it.
Lu Ye instinctively activated his power to protect himself. Traveling through the Insect Path was a very mysterious thing. During the process of traveling, there would be many strange forces squeezing around the Insect Path. These were usually the forces of spatial turbulence. If one was not careful and was sucked in, they could get lost.
Lu Ye had experienced this once before. Back then, he was lucky enough to escape by borrowing the core of a Void Beast. Naturally, he didn't want to experience it again.
However, as soon as he activated his energy to protect himself, a protective light screen appeared on the Planetary Boat.
This Planetary Boat had a protective formation. It was clearly of high quality. Generally, low-priced Planetary Boats didn't have this kind of thing.
During the process of traveling through the Worm Passage, Lu Ye felt his senses being disrupted. After an unknown amount of time, the disrupted senses suddenly disappeared.
When he looked up again, what entered his vision was an unfamiliar starry sky. When he turned around, he saw the Worm Passage that he had come from.
"This is a nameless galaxy. Although there are a few native realms like this, there aren't any powerful experts here," Half Ci explained casually. Her explanation matched Lu Ye's previous conjecture.
Half Ci looked around, then determined a direction and steered the Planetary Boat toward it.
Half a month later, when the Planetary Boat passed by a small realm, Half Ci's aura suddenly changed. She cast a cold gaze toward that realm.
Lu Ye sensed something and followed her gaze. His pupils constricted involuntarily.
Although they weren't very close, with Lu Ye's current eyesight, he could still vaguely see some scenes in that realm.
Half-ci had already changed directions and flew towards that domain.
A short while later, they passed through the clouds and arrived above a city.
This was clearly a realm inhabited by living beings. However, at this moment, Lu Ye sensed that the entire city was devoid of life.
Many of the buildings in the city were dilapidated, and there were traces of a great battle around the city walls. Withered corpses were strewn everywhere.
Lu Ye frowned and arrived at a certain spot in the city. He looked down at a corpse in front of him.
The corpse was clearly left behind by a human, so it could be confirmed that the creatures living in this domain were humans. However, this person had encountered something before he died, and there was a hole in his chest. His blood and Qi had completely disappeared, so even though he had been dead for a long time, his corpse was like a mummy.
The other human corpses nearby were all in the same state. Every single one of them had wounds on their bodies. It looked like something had sucked their blood dry.
Lu Ye raised a hand and grabbed a white thread from one of the corpses. He didn't know what it was, but when he tugged at it, he found that it was extremely tough. In terms of quality, it was not inferior to a Divine Sea level treasure.
"The Heaven Desire Demonic Spider's thread!" Half Ci's expression darkened.
"A Starbeast?" Lu Ye frowned.
Half Ci nodded.
Lu Ye was confused. "Didn't they say that Starbeasts wouldn't invade realms? Why would they come here? "
Star beasts didn't have high intelligence. They only followed their instincts, just like cows eating grass and wolves eating meat. Star beasts needed the energy of the starry skies. Therefore, star beasts generally wouldn't invade the boundaries of the realms. They were active in the starry skies.
This was because ordinary realms weren't attractive to Starbeasts, unless it was a top-level realm that could produce spirit jade veins. However, top-level realms had many powerful experts, so how could Starbeasts dare to invade them?
Half Ci said, "Generally speaking, Starbeasts won't invade realms, but there are always some special ones. The Heaven Desire Demonic Spider is one of them. Not only do they crave starry sky energy, but they also crave vitality."
The situation was very clear. A Heaven Desire Demonic Spider had come to this small realm and started a massacre. From the traces of battle left behind in the city, it was clear that there was not just one Heaven Desire Demonic Spider, but a group of them!
"Let's split up and see if there are any survivors," Half Ci said as he flew in a certain direction.
Lu Ye flew in another direction. If they hadn't come across such a thing, it would have been fine. But since they had, as long as they had some compassion, they wouldn't leave them alone.
After a while, Lu Ye found something. However, he didn't find anyone alive, but a group of Heaven Desire Demonic Spiders. This group of spiders had gathered in the wilderness, and there were white spider webs everywhere.
From the outside, the so-called Heaven Desire Demonic Spiders didn't look much different from ordinary spiders. The only difference was that they were larger. The smallest was the size of a calf, and the largest was the size of a house.
This should be a group of spiders. They weren't very strong, and the strongest was only comparable to a constellation. The rest were only in the Deity Ocean and True Lake Realm.
Lu Ye didn't need to be polite with this group of spiders. He rushed forward and slashed with his saber.
With his current strength, these spiders couldn't stop him. In just a few moments, the group of spiders was wiped out.
He continued to move forward and used his spiritual will to search. Everywhere he went, there was no sign of life.
This made Lu Ye's heart heavy. It seemed that the humans living in this small realm had been wiped out by the spiders.
There were a lot of spiders. Once Lu Ye found them, he immediately eradicated them.
Occasionally, he felt a battle on the other side of the realm. It should be Half Ci. She had obviously found the group of spiders.
It wasn't until a day later that Lu Ye met up with Half Ci again. After a day of searching, Lu Ye didn't find a single living person. All he encountered were spiders, and they were all killed by him.
Half Ci was now in a dilapidated village. There were some dried corpses left here. She stood in front of a farmer's house, and her expression was somewhat helpless.
"What's the situation?" Lu Ye asked. At the same time, he looked inside. Under his perception, there was a sign of life inside!
This meant that there was still a living person inside.
"A little girl. She must have been provoked and didn't want to come out."
Lu Ye stepped inside and soon came to the little girl's hiding place.
