Training in the Asura Field didn't require a fixed amount of time. Normally, it wouldn't take too long and could be completed within a month or two. Lu Ye had experienced this twice before.
However, there were exceptions. Some training scenes could take several years, or even more than a decade.
Before completing the final mission, cultivators were not allowed to leave. There was only one exception, and that was if they were challenged three days before the ranking of the Battle Arena was announced. If the challenged cultivator chose to accept the challenge, they would directly enter the Battle Arena space. After the battle, they would return to their own experiential learning environment.
Thus, cultivators who wanted to maintain their rankings didn't need to worry about their training causing problems.
Today's training scene was undoubtedly a good place for Lu Ye to quickly accumulate Asura Seals, so he didn't want it to end so quickly. It would be best if he could stay here for a decade or so …
Based on his current efficiency of obtaining Asura Seals, he might even be able to exchange for treasures in the Asura Field after a decade or so.
However, he knew that this was probably impossible because the level of this world was too low. The Asura Field wouldn't allow him to stay here for too long.
"Benefactor, take care!" Yao Nuan said. The other women stood behind her and looked at Lu Ye with gratitude and reluctance.
Now that they had escaped the sea of bitterness and arrived at Ding 'an City, no one would know of their past and they could have a new life in the future.
Lu Ye nodded. "Everyone, take care as well!"
He grabbed the black horse's reins and turned to leave.
At this moment, the sound of galloping horse hooves came from the distance, followed by a series of whooshing sounds.
Puff puff puff sounds rang out, mixed with a few miserable screams. The city gate was instantly thrown into chaos!
Yao Nuan and the others also paled.
Lu Ye was already standing in front of a group of women with his spear. A few broken arrows fell in front of him, but he had sensed something was wrong and intercepted the arrows in time. Otherwise, one of the women behind him would have been in trouble.
He focused his gaze and saw that about three hundred feet away, there was a group of uninvited guests on horseback. The person in the lead had a fierce look on his face. He only had one eye, and the other eye was covered with a black cloth, as if it was stuck with a piece of dog skin plaster.
There weren't many people, only about thirty of them. Each of them carried a longbow and had a black cloth tied to their sleeves or foreheads. The unforeseen event just now was caused by these people.
That volley of shots had caused at least a dozen passers-by to suffer an unexpected calamity. Some of them had died on the spot, but most of them had survived and were now wailing in grief.
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Along the way, he had killed quite a number of bandits who had tried to rob him, so he could tell at a glance that this group of people in front of him were not good people.
They were already in Ding 'an City, yet there were still Asura Seals coming to their doorstep?
"Black Turban Army!" Outside the city gate, after seeing the black scarves on the bandits, the expression on the guards' faces changed greatly, as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. They had never thought that the notorious Black Scarf Army would have actually come here.
Then, he saw a young man with a long saber at his waist and a thick spear in his hand charge toward the Black Scarf Army in high spirits.
The one-eyed Black Scarf Army commander rode on a large horse and allowed his subordinates to wantonly kill a dozen civilians. Just as he was about to announce the Black Scarf Army's demands, he saw Lu Ye take the initiative to meet him. He was stunned for a moment before coldly snorting, "Kill him!"
In this world, there would always be a few clowns who overestimated their own abilities and flaunted their righteousness, thinking that they could contend against the rolling tide of the world.
He had seen many such people in the past, but they had all been reduced to powder under the iron hooves of the Black Scarf Army.
At his command, the group of archers behind him immediately fired in a flurry of arrows.
Outside the city gate, quite a few people grimaced in pain, unable to bear to watch.
"Hm?" At this moment, the One-eyed Black Turban Army was stunned because the arrows that shot at the newcomer's body did not injure him at all. The newcomer seemed to have a body of copper skin and iron bones. When the arrows touched his body, they were all bounced off, leaving only marks on his clothes.
"A cultivator!" The one-eyed Black Scarf Army commander sensed the fluctuations of spiritual power on Lu Ye's body and immediately drew a large saber from his horse. So what if he was a cultivator? He was also successful in his cultivation and was confident that he would not lose out to the other party.
Lu Ye had already rushed in front of the one-eyed Black Scarf Army commander, his thick spear thrusting forward.
"How dare you!" The one-eyed Black Scarf Army commander roared angrily and leaped from his horse. With the force of his charge, he viciously swung his saber at Lu Ye's head.
With his brute strength and five apertures cultivation, he was confident that a passerby could not block his attack. After all, the other party looked too young.
At his age, he had not even touched the path of cultivation.
Puchi …
The one-eyed Black Scarf Army commander's eyes trembled violently and his chest throbbed with pain. His entire body had been pierced through by the spear, hanging from the shaft like a dead fish.
"You …" His face was filled with fear. He only had time to spit out a single word before his consciousness blurred.
Lu Ye swung his spear, flinging the corpse to the side. He brazenly charged into the group of archers, killing one with a single spear strike.
When the archers saw the one-eyed leader die so easily, they all turned pale with fright. They did not dare to confront Lu Ye and only focused on fleeing.
But how could they escape? With the support of Wind Travel, Lu Ye could chase them to death even if they were on horseback!
In a short period of time, the attacking Black Scarf Army had been completely wiped out, leaving only a few dozen tall horses neighing uneasily.
In front of the city gate, the smell of blood filled the air.
Lu Ye wiped the blood off his spear on one of the corpses and walked back with his spear. But what made him feel strange was that the people in front of the city gate didn't seem happy at all. Instead, they seemed to be panic-stricken.
Only the general on duty had an expression of shock and admiration.
Lu Ye was too lazy to pay attention to them. He walked over to Yao Nuan and the others and asked, "Are you alright?"
The girls all shook their heads.
"Alright, then let's enter the city. It's not safe outside." Lu Ye waved his hand. He had already sensed that this world was chaotic, but he had not expected it to be chaotic to this extent. There were actually people coming to the city gate to commit crimes.
Yao Nuan and the others nodded. "Benefactor, take care."
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the side. Lu Ye turned his head and saw that it was the general on duty. The man looked to be around forty years old. He cupped his fists and said, "This one is Ding 'an City's Zhou Ping. May I ask for Sir's name?"
Lu Ye could sense that this man also had traces of cultivation. He did not know how many acupoints he had opened, but based on his previous interactions with him, this Zhou Ping should not have opened too many acupoints.
"Lu Ye."
"Sir Lu!" Zhou Ping bowed again. His attitude was very respectful, and his eyes were filled with eagerness. "May I ask if Sir is leaving?"
"That's right. What advice do you have for me?"
"I wouldn't dare. However, Sir might not know that the Black Scarf Army's vanguard scout team was killed. They will definitely not let this matter rest. When the time comes, they will definitely send an army to suppress the city. Sir, for the sake of righteousness, this Zhou would like to ask Sir to stay and fight the bandit army with us!"
Lu Ye blinked. "You mean … there will be more Black Scarf Army soldiers coming?"
"Of course. This bandit army will not shrink from any crime. Wherever they go, the people will not be able to make a living. Several cities have already fallen. However, I did not expect them to come so quickly and have already arrived near Ding 'an."
Lu Ye's expression immediately turned solemn. "Eliminating violence and bringing peace to the people, protecting the country is my duty!"
Zhou Ping was overjoyed. "Thank you, Sir. Sir, please enter the city first and follow me to pay a visit to the city lord!" He did not expect Lu Ye to be so easy to talk to.
"Please." Lu Ye extended his hand.
After a short while, Zhou Ping gave an order and brought Lu Ye into the city. Yao Nuan and the others happily followed closely behind. Although they had not known each other for long, in the past few days when they came together, Lu Ye had repeatedly single-handedly repelled the attacking bandits, giving them a moment of peace. When they arrived at Ding 'an City, Lu Ye wanted to leave. They were already somewhat reluctant to part with him, but now, Lu Ye was not leaving!
Zhou Ping was a member of the Ding 'an Three Great Families, the Zhou Clan. He could be considered a tyrant. Seeing that it was inconvenient for Lu Ye to bring so many women, he first took the initiative to arrange for Yao Nuan and the others to stay in a courtyard belonging to the Zhou Clan. Only then did he lead Lu Ye to the city lord's mansion.
On the way, Lu Ye chatted with him and learned a little about the Black Scarf Army.
In this world, bandits were incessant. Everywhere, there were Green Forest Bandits who occupied mountains and called themselves kings. This was how the Black Scarf Army began. At first, they were only a group of bandits. Later, they slowly grew and expanded, giving them the name Black Scarf Army.
Once their foundation was solid, they were no longer satisfied with the small profits they made from robbing people. Instead, they began to set their sights on crowded areas. They repeatedly slaughtered villages and besieged cities. As their reputation spread, more and more bandits sought refuge with them. It could be said that the entire Black Scarf Army was made up of countless bandits.
Wherever this group of bandits passed, the people of the various cities would feel even more threatened. Previously, Zhou Ping had heard that they were still five hundred li away, but for some unknown reason, they had already fled to the vicinity.
Today, a small scout team from the Black Scarf Army had appeared. It would not be long before the entire Black Scarf Army would gather around Ding 'an. When that time came, such a fat piece of meat would be placed in front of their mouths. The Black Scarf Army would definitely not let it go.
This was also the reason why Zhou Ping had invited Lu Ye. In the previous confrontation, Zhou Ping could see that Lu Ye was very strong.
After a short while, in the side hall of the city lord's mansion, Lu Ye and Zhou Ping sat upright. A maid served them tea before withdrawing.
The two of them chatted as they waited.
Zhou Ping was still excitedly telling Lu Ye about the Black Scarf Army. However, he did not notice that Lu Ye's expression gradually became indifferent.
After a while, Zhou Ping's mouth became dry from talking. He asked with some doubt, "Why hasn't the city lord come yet?"
When he had arrived, he had asked someone to inform him. Logically speaking, the city lord should have already appeared.
Lu Ye turned to look at him with a leisurely gaze.
Zhou Ping looked back. "Sir, what's wrong? Is there something on my face? "
"Are you dizzy?" Lu Ye suddenly asked. (End of Chapter)
