Almost at the same time that Qing Li's figure disappeared, another figure appeared in front of Lu Ye. When he looked closely, he could not help but feel surprised.
Because the figure that appeared after Qing Li was actually a member of the Ghost Clan.
Compared to many other clans that had similar figures to humans, the Ghost Clan's characteristics were very obvious. This was because their exposed skin was covered with strange ghost tattoos. These ghost tattoos were innate, and some were cultivated. They were not the same as ordinary tattoos.
The Ghost Clan also had a master swordsman? Lu Ye was surprised.
Because of the Ghost Clan's uniqueness, they had unparalleled talent in the path of Ghost Cultivation. It could be said that every Ghost Clan member was a natural-born Ghost Cultivator. They were best at concealment and assassination. Fighting head-on like a weapon cultivator was not their forte.
Just as Lu Ye was thinking, the Ghost Clan member slowly opened his eyes. There seemed to be ghost tattoos in his eyes, making his eyes look extremely strange.
He slowly unsheathed his sword and said, "Ghost Clan of the Netherworld, Yan Xi!"
The moment he finished speaking, he had already become one with his sword. He turned into a sword light and slashed towards Lu Ye. The power of his attack was not inferior to Qing Li's at all.
Lu Ye quickly raised his sword to block, but in the next moment, a scene that shocked him appeared. The sword light that was slashing towards him seemed to have a life of its own. It bypassed his counterattack and attacked from the side. The long sword in Lu Ye's hand sank instantly.
If he had not fought with Qing Li for half a year, he would most likely have met with misfortune when facing Yan Xi's attack. But in the fight with Qing Li, he had also grown tremendously. So even though Yan Xi's attack was strange, Lu Ye was still able to see through it.
He thought that he could block Yan Xi's attack. Unexpectedly, he did not feel any force at all. When he looked again, Yan Xi had already flashed to the other side and slashed his sword again.
After a moment, Lu Ye's mind retreated from the green hall. Although he had been defeated in the fight with Yan Xi, his eyes could not hide the excitement in them.
Yan Xi's swordsmanship was completely different from Qing Li's. Compared to Qing Li's agility, Yan Xi's swordsmanship could be described as elusive.
Yan Xi's battle style was not like that of an orthodox armament cultivator at all, because he did not face the enemy head on at all. When they crossed swords, his figure flitted here and there like a gust of wind, making it impossible for people to catch a trace of him.
But when he made a move, it was like a thunderbolt, making it hard for others to resist.
Yan Xi's blade technique inheritance was undoubtedly very mysterious. Lu Ye faintly felt that if he could understand the essence of it, he would no longer need to be afraid of being surrounded and attacked by others.
Thinking back to the battle just now, no matter how fast he moved, he was unable to hurt Yan Xi at all. Instead, he was slowly disintegrated under Yan Xi's attacks.
Regardless of whether it was Qing Li or Yan Xi, they were able to use the same power as Lu Ye. This was because the power that enabled them to use their knife skills came from Lu Ye himself.
However, under the same level of power, Lu Ye was no match for Qing Li when he first met her. Now, he was still no match for Yan Xi.
Lu Ye knew that this was not because he was weaker than them, but because when the two of them left behind their imprints, their horizons and experience far exceeded his.
He spent half a year to understand Qing Li's knife skills, and his own body had grown considerably. He believed that this time, he would not need as much time to understand Yan Xi's knife skills, because as he grew, the imprints left behind by these old seniors would become easier for him.
Just as he was about to give it another try, he heard Dulang say, "Brother Lu, Chi Kong has arrived!"
Hearing this, Lu Ye looked up and saw a realm appear in front of him. Looking from afar, it was a mix of blue and yellow, and the entire realm seemed to be stained with streaks of stripes.
The current Lu Ye could not be considered a greenhorn. After traveling in the galaxy for so many years, he had seen many realms, big and small, but he had not seen what a top realm looked like.
As such, he could roughly tell whether a realm was strong or weak just by looking at it from afar.
Needless to say, Chi Kong gave him a bad feeling, like a terminally ill old man. This was undoubtedly a sign that a cultivation realm was approaching its end.
With the help of the Insight Spiritual Inscriptions, under careful observation, the energy in the galaxy did not show any signs of being absorbed by Chi Kong. Instead, Chi Kong's foundation seemed to be flowing into the galaxy.
Normally, a realm with vitality would absorb the energy of the galaxy to slowly strengthen itself. As the realm's foundation strengthened, the realm's level would gradually increase. However, this process was generally very long, and could easily take millions of years.
There were not many growth-type realms like Jiuzhou that could take the initiative to absorb the foundation of other realms to improve themselves.
Chi Kong had already shown signs of approaching its end a thousand years ago, and today, this process was getting faster and faster.
Generally speaking, there would be cultivators patrolling and guarding the nearby space of a large realm to prevent the invasion of foreign enemies or star beasts, but Chi Kong seemed to be completely unguarded.
Along the way, Lu Ye did not see many cultivators from Chi Kong at all. Occasionally, he would see them, but they were in a hurry.
Du Lang steered the star boat into Chi Kong Continent, and they did not encounter any inspection or investigation.
When they entered a place where a sect was located, Yue Yao's Divine Sense faintly probed, but she quickly withdrew it.
This was undoubtedly the sect where Du Lang came from. There were not many cultivators above the Constellation in Chi Kong now, and Du Lang's status here was not low. After some arrangements, he settled Lu Ye and Li Shang down, and then said, "Brother Lu, I will go and report to Master. If Master summons you, I will inform Brother Lu."
"Of course." Lu Ye nodded. When in Rome, do as the Romans do. This was Du Lang's territory, so he naturally had to listen to his arrangements.
After Du Lang left, Lu Ye looked at Li Shang. "Do you want to hide?"
After all, Li Shang was from the Soul Clan, so it was not convenient for him to expose himself in front of outsiders. Constellation might not be able to see through it, but Yue Yao might not.
Li Shang thought for a moment and nodded. "Then I will hide in your Divine Ocean."
Although he could attach his soul to Lu Ye, it would consume Li Shang's energy. There was no need to hide in his Divine Ocean.
Lu Ye opened his Divine Ocean, and Li Shang entered.
It was unknown when Du Lang would reply, but Lu Ye was not in a hurry. He continued to fight with Yan Xi in the blue hall.
At the same time, in a large hall, Du Lang stepped in and walked in front of an old man who was sitting cross-legged. He respectfully bowed and said, "Master!"
The old man did not respond, so Du Lang waited quietly.
After a long time, the old man slowly opened his eyes and glanced at Du Lang. He sighed softly. "I already know about your Senior Martial Brother Yu. His fate is as it should be. There is no need to be sad."
The Senior Martial Brother Yu the old man spoke of was the Constellation who had died in the mouth of the Heavenly Dog in the Desolate Star Field.
Du Lang said angrily, "If Xu Ding Yang hadn't dragged us to provoke that group of star beasts, Senior Martial Brother Yu wouldn't have died in vain. How hateful of that Xu Ding Yang to abandon me after Senior Martial Brother Yu's death and escape on his own."
The old man snorted and scolded, "Not to mention that Xu Ding Yang is a cultivator from another realm and is not related to you, even if you are really from the same sect, you have the freedom to escape when you are in danger. Du Lang, the life of a cultivator is ultimately in their own hands. You can't pin your hopes on the mercy of others."
Du Lang lowered his head and clenched his fists. "This disciple understands the principle, but this disciple is not willing!"
The old man looked at Du Lang and let out a long sigh, "If you are really unwilling to accept this, then work hard to become stronger. If there comes a day when you become a sunshine, perhaps you will have the opportunity to find a way out for us Red Sky Cultivators."
That being said, sunshine … was very difficult. Red Sky Continent had not seen sunshine for many years. Looking at the entire Indefinite Galaxy, only the Indefinite Realm had sunshine.
Changing the topic, the old man asked, "How did you escape?"
Du Lang hurriedly said, "This disciple was lucky. I met a friend who saved my life when I was in danger. That was how I was able to return."
"Oh?" The old man was a little surprised. Dou Lang was his disciple. He basically knew who he knew and who he had befriended. There were not many people who could be called friends by Dou Lang. The old man could not help but wonder who had saved him.
"Master, you have seen that person before," Du Lang said.
The old man raised his eyebrows. "Is it that Qin kid from the Eroding Cloud Realm?"
The Eroding Cloud Realm was also a realm of the Indefinite Galaxy. The old man knew that Du Lang had a good relationship with a constellation with the surname Qin in the Eroding Cloud Realm. If there was one of Du Lang's few friends who could save Du Lang in that situation, it would be this Qin kid.
"It's not Senior Martial Brother Qin." Du Lang shook his head. "Master, do you still remember when you took me to participate in the battle of the Divine Ocean at the Reincarnation Tree?"
The old man pondered for a moment. The scene back then was still vivid in his mind. He was surprised. "You couldn't have met Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens, right?"
During the battle of the Divine Ocean, Du Lang had only stayed in the Alpha Origin stage for a month before coming out. The old man knew that Du Lang had only met one person inside, and that was Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens.
The master and disciple could have left earlier, but they had stayed because Du Lang wanted to see how long Lu Yiye could last. As a result, he saw the birth of a miracle.
Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens had won first place in the battle of the Divine Ocean with an absolute advantage.
Du Lang suddenly mentioning the battle of the Divine Ocean made the old man's mind extremely sharp.
Du Lang said excitedly, "Master is right, the one who saved me was Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens!"
"Why would he go to the Desolate Star Region?" The old man was surprised. Although he did not know which galaxy the Nine Heavens Realm was in, it was definitely not one of the four galaxies. If it was, the old man would have heard about it long ago.
"Disciple doesn't know." Du Lang shook his head. He was also very curious about why Lu Yiye was in the Desolate Star Region, but this was not something he could inquire about casually.
The old man said, "If I remember correctly, that young man was only an Eighth Order Divine Ocean cultivator back then, one Minor Realm lower than you, right?"
"Yes," Du Lang nodded.
The old man said, "Such a character is bound to achieve great things in the future. Since you and him are connected by fate, you might as well make friends with him. Even if you can't borrow his strength in the future, you can be proud to have such a friend."
