"My friend, do you have any last words?" Yang Ling asked as he secretly activated his magic power. He understood that the young man in front of him must have been drenched in the blood rain after coming to this world.
However, there was one thing that puzzled him. The red light from the test just now … seemed to be a little too dazzling. In the past, they had used this method to determine if a new cultivator had been tainted by the Blood Tribe's divine nature. However, it had never been as bright as it was today.
He probably hadn't been drenched in the blood rain, but had taken a bath in the blood rain …
Yang Ling felt extremely regretful. It wasn't easy to find a natural companion, but now they had to fight.
This wasn't the first time they had experienced something like this!
"Is there no room for negotiation?" Lu Ye asked. In such a situation, he still wanted to try.
Hu Dequan, who had led him here, sighed. "Little brother, let me tell you a story."
"I'm all ears!" Lu Ye nodded.
Hu Dequan said, "Initially, the Red Talisman Association's recruitment criteria weren't so strict. As long as it was someone from Mount Innerheart or someone who shared the same ideals as us, we were willing to accept them. We were once powerful for a period of time. However, as time passed, various unforeseen events occurred internally. Many of those who were tainted by the holy aura became traitors, including those sent by Mount Innerheart. Do you know why?"
Before Lu Ye could answer, Hu Dequan gave his own answer. "The resources brought in from the outside world were limited. When one's resources were exhausted, the energy consumed couldn't be replenished. The pain of a person's cultivation weakening day by day was something that few could endure. Under such pain and torture, their firm beliefs in the past began to waver. Joining Mount Fangcun was their only choice."
Meng Xu, who had been silent all this while, said with a pained heart, "We were once betrayed. Once bitten, twice shy. Brother Lu, this isn't your fault. In the end, we didn't do enough!"
Yang Ling took a step forward. "So even if you have complaints in your heart, we can't let you leave. Because once you leave, you'll join Mount Fangcun sooner or later and become our enemy!"
Lu Ye nodded. He understood what they were thinking.
He didn't try to explain anything because he couldn't explain the current situation at all. Especially when Yang Ling and the others had a preconceived notion.
In their view, any cultivator who was tainted by the Divine Nature was not one of them. This was an iron law that could not be broken.
Since they weren't on the same side and would become enemies sooner or later, they naturally had to strike first to gain the upper hand. They didn't attack Xiangyin and the others because they weren't weak. If they deliberately went to them, it would only force them to join Saint Blood Peak earlier.
On the other hand, Lu Ye had taken the initiative to deliver himself to the door, so there was no way he could let him go.
"Say your last words!" Yang Ling shouted loudly, "If we are able to escape from this place one day, we will definitely report everything that happened today to Peak Master Su. There will definitely not be a single word of falsehood."
Lu Ye glanced at him and smiled. "I believe in you."
As he spoke, he took off a storage ring and tossed it to Yang Ling.
Yang Ling didn't take it and instead dodged it. He was obviously afraid that someone would tamper with his ring.
Lu Ye didn't mind and only said, "Time will prove everything. I hope that there will be a day when I can fight side by side with all of you!"
Yang Ling frowned. He obviously felt that Lu Ye was a little stubborn. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ye's magic power suddenly surged and a spirit inscription quickly formed under his feet.
"Attack!" Meng Xu also realized that something was wrong and immediately shouted.
In the next moment, the three of them attacked together, their violent power surging towards Lu Ye.
However, before their attacks could reach him, Lu Ye's figure suddenly disappeared into thin air.
The surging magic power calmed down. Yang Ling looked puzzled and then turned to Meng Xu. "What kind of method is this?"
Meng Xu frowned. "It seems to be a Space Formation! Did he set something up here in advance? "As he spoke, he looked at Hu Dequan who led Lu Ye here.
Hu Dequan was dumbfounded. "I didn't see him do anything!"
While waiting for Yang Ling and Meng Xu, he seemed to be chatting casually with Lu Ye, but in fact, he had been secretly monitoring him. If Lu Ye had set something up here in advance, there was no way he wouldn't know.
While speaking, Hu Dequan suddenly remembered something, "Before I met him, he had entered a trap I had set up. I activated the Spirit Array in the trap from afar, thinking that I could kill him, but who would have thought that he would appear in front of me safe and sound!"
Meng Xu immediately understood. "He has a teleportation technique!"
Other than that, there was no other explanation. However, even the three of them couldn't see through the mysteries of the teleportation technique.
"Can you find out where he went?" Yang Ling asked.
"It's too late." Hu Dequan shook his head. "He can't still be in the same place. I'm afraid he's already far away."
Yang Ling couldn't help but sigh. Today's matter wasn't finished, and they would probably have another enemy in the future.
Meng Xu turned his head and looked to the side. He reached out and grabbed the storage ring left behind by Lu Ye. After a brief inspection, he was surprised. "He left a lot of Spiritual Jades!"
This was undoubtedly left behind by Lu Ye after he heard that they were lacking in resources.
Hu Dequan was silent for a while before he said, "This little brother is actually a good person."
Even when they turned hostile and wanted to kill him, Lu Ye didn't show too much emotion. Yang Ling didn't even sense any resentment from Lu Ye.
Yang Ling said coldly, "A person's heart changes. You think he's good now, but when his resources dry up and his cultivation weakens in the future, you'll see what he chooses to do!"
Hu Dequan fell silent. They'd experienced such things before, and they'd even wavered because of it …
"Let's go. There's already a commotion here. We can't stay here for long!" Yang Ling walked out as he spoke.
3,000 miles away, Lu Ye's figure flashed.
After coming into contact with Hu Dequan and the others, he realized that his previous plan had failed. With his current situation, it was impossible for the Red Talisman Association to accept him.
He understood the cautiousness of Hu Dequan and the others, and he also agreed with their decisiveness. Because if he was in their shoes, he would do the same.
However, he had no way to prove that he was different from the other first-generation Blood Clan members. Some things couldn't be said with words. He could only prove it with his actions!
At present, he didn't have a comprehensive understanding of this world, so he had to find someone to learn more about it.
Moreover, he still had a question in his heart that he wanted to solve.
Xue 'er Peak, a spiritual peak with an elegant name. However, there was no snow on this peak, so the name didn't quite live up to its name.
The main reason was that he thought the two women of the Snow Clan lived here. The spiritual peak they'd lived in back in the Snow Clan's homeland was called Xue 'er Peak, so they'd changed their name after coming here.
Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu had benefited from the blood rain, so they returned to Xue 'er Peak after parting ways with Lu Ye. They cultivated in seclusion to refine the holy nature that had invaded their bodies.
Hu Dequan and the others tried their best to avoid being contaminated by the blood rain, viewing it as a scourge. However, to Xiang Yin and the others, the blood rain could provide them with assistance.
Suddenly, Yue Yao's aura descended from the sky!
The two women were alarmed when they sensed this familiar aura. They hurried out of their seclusion and looked up.
He looked up and saw that it was indeed Lu Ye.
"Greetings, Daoist brother!" Xiang Yin hurriedly bowed, her expression somewhat reserved. Lu Ye had undoubtedly left a deep impression on her during the past few days.
Xuan Yu also bowed, her temperament still as cold as ice.
Lu Ye took a deep look at Xiang Yin and said, "I'm new here and have nowhere to go, so I'd like to stay here for a while. You don't mind, do you?"
Xiang Yin forced a smile. "We don't mind. If Daoist brother is willing, you can stay here for as long as you want."
She cursed in her heart. You're already here. Even if we do mind, do we dare to say it out loud?
Lu Ye nodded. "Arrange a place for me to stay."
Xiang Yin looked around and said, "Daoist brother, you can stay in my building. I'll stay with my sister."
"Alright!" Lu Ye didn't have many requirements for a place to stay, so he walked toward a nearby wooden house.
Xiang Yin pursed her red lips and suddenly asked, "Daoist brother, how was your trip this time?"
Lu Ye stood still and tilted his head to look at her. "I didn't gain much."
Xiang Yin nodded. "Then I might have made a mistake."
About ten days after arriving in the Core World, Lu Ye settled down at Tingxue Peak. Originally, the Xiangyin and Xuanyu sisters were a little worried that Lu Ye would make unreasonable demands of them. If that was the case, then with the strength of Lu Ye's holy nature, the sisters would only be docile and obedient. They would be reduced to playthings with no other choice.
But what reassured the sisters was that Lu Ye didn't even show his face after coming here. He stayed in his room all day long, and they didn't know what he was doing.
About ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, Xiang Yin suddenly came to Lu Ye's room and called out softly, "Daoist brother!"
Lu Ye's voice soon came from inside the room. "Come in!"
Xiang Yin pushed the door open and entered. She immediately saw Lu Ye sitting cross-legged on the bed that originally belonged to her. He seemed to be cultivating.
"I hope I didn't disturb you, Daoist brother?" Xiang Yin revealed an obedient and sweet smile. Coupled with her soft voice, she vividly displayed the beauty of a woman.
"Speak!" Lu Ye glanced at her indifferently.
Xiang Yin said, "Daoist brother, we might be away for a few days."
Lu Ye nodded. "Understood."
Xiang Yin was a little stunned. "Daoist brother, aren't you going to ask where we're going?" Lu Ye's reaction was a little different from what she had expected.
Lu Ye finally asked, "Where are we going?"
Xiang Yin explained, "Since Daoist brother came from the outside, you must have experienced the Demonic Eye Blink. In a day or two, the Demonic Eye should blink."
When she said this, Lu Ye, who was originally disinterested, immediately perked up. "The Demonic Eye Blink?"
Lu Ye was very interested in the Demonic Eye Blink and the Blood Eye Spirit Tattoo that was imprinted on his Divine Sea. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough time in the Inner World of Wonders and had only glimpsed a small part of the spirit tattoo. This was undoubtedly a pity.
He had originally planned to wait until he had the opportunity to go out and see the spirit tattoo in its entirety, but he didn't expect Xiang Yin to mention this.
