Even though Qiao Yun tried her best to block the attack, the blade still pierced through her heart.
Facing death, Qiao Yun suddenly seemed to understand something and looked at Lu Ye in disbelief. "You … are in cahoots!"
It didn't make sense that the Immortal Essence Guardians only dealt with her and not Lu Ye. Moreover, the ambush of the Wind Flower Courtyard was also destroyed by the Immortal Essence Guardians. If those Immortal Essence Guardians hadn't suddenly appeared, Lu Yiye would have already been arranged by Chuqing.
Combining all the previous events, as long as Qiao Yun wasn't stupid, she could guess the truth of the matter.
This made her feel terrified. A foreign cultivator was actually mixed up with the Immortal Essence Guardians of the Immortal Essence City. This news must be spread.
She raised her hand with difficulty, wanting to touch her battlefield imprint.
Another brilliance flashed on the Mountain Saber that pierced through her heart. Under the support of the Grand Spike Spirit Pattern, sharp spikes of spirit power exploded in her body.
Qiao Yun's body trembled slightly, and the light in her eyes quickly disappeared.
Hu Po appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Lu Ye's shoulder. It didn't show up during the battle just now, hiding in the dark to control its Bi Spirit.
Even if it was just a simple order, those Bi Spirits needed to be controlled.
The surrounding Immortal Essence Guardians turned into spiritual light and entered Hu Po's body, leaving only Yiyi.
Without the binding of the Spirit Binding Chains, Qiao Yun's fat body fell to the ground with a bang. Lu Ye put away the storage bag at her waist and quickly rushed forward.
At this moment, on the streets, on the roofs of the houses, clouds of fog rolled over and over, and an inexplicable aura came out of the fog.
Lu Ye had only run a few steps when a humanoid thing suddenly rushed out of the rolling fog nearby.
This scene made Lu Ye feel strangely familiar. Every time he went to the mirage realm to temper his saber skills, those cultivators rushed out of the fog like this. He killed one after another, and a stronger one came, until Lu Ye couldn't resist anymore.
At this moment, the humanoid existence that rushed out of the fog was completely wrapped in fog. Lu Ye couldn't see its face clearly, and he couldn't even tell if it was a man or a woman. It was exactly the same as what he encountered in the mirage realm.
When he saw this situation, Lu Ye was even more certain that the Life Fruit Core he obtained was greatly related to the Boundless Mirage. As for exactly what it was related to, he didn't know for now.
Yang Kai wanted to test the waters, so he turned around and slashed at the humanoid figure. The other party only displayed Seventh-Order Spirit Qi fluctuations, so it was unable to block this attack and was directly split in half, turning into mist and disappearing.
But immediately after, another humanoid figure rushed out from the surging fog, and his aura was stronger than before.
Lu Ye turned around and ran!
It was confirmed that these humanoid existences and rolling fog were the same as the situation in the Mirage Realm that he had entered through the Breath Fruit. These things were endless, and they were completely undefeatable existences.
He rushed into a nearby building and quickly closed the door. However, the mist ignored the obstruction of the door and chased after him. Lu Ye cursed inwardly. Sure enough, only those buildings with lanterns hanging outside their doors could be used as shelter. The information bought by the Tianji Business Alliance was correct.
He slashed out again, cutting the humanoid figure in front of him into pieces, and rushed out onto the street, moving forward quickly.
On both sides of the street, there was a cloud of fog rolling every once in a while. Every time Lu Ye passed by, a humanoid figure would rush out of the fog and chase after him.
More and more pursuers appeared behind him, gradually converging into a sizable team.
He couldn't continue running like this, because he would alarm the humanoid existences in the fog along the way. At that time, there would be more and more pursuers. Even if he had some Immortal Yuan Guardians to help him now, he would definitely not be able to resist.
"Yi Yi!"
Lu Ye called out, reaching out to her at the same time.
Yi Yi understood and handed over all the Storage Bags she had collected from the battlefield to Lu Ye before plunging into Hu Po's body.
Lu Ye then took out a wooden bracelet from his Storage Bag. This was a Spirit Artifact, and he poured his Spirit Energy into it.
After turning a corner, Lu Ye suddenly stopped running and put the bracelet on his hand. In an instant, a circular ripple spread out from the bracelet, and the ripple spread over Lu Ye's body. A miraculous thing happened. Lu Ye's entire body quickly distorted, and then he disappeared.
The humanoid existences that were chasing after him quickly rushed to this place, but Lu Ye's figure was no longer in front of them. These existences that came out of the fog circled around in place for a while like headless flies before dispersing one after another.
Lu Ye didn't move. Not only did he not dare to move, but he also tried his best to suppress his breathing. He even suppressed the flow of Spirit Energy in his body to the limit, for fear of revealing any flaws.
The Spirit Artifact in his hand was given to him by Madam Yun.
When she first learned that Lu Ye was going to enter the Inner Circle to gain experience, Madam Yun gave him a total of two things. One was the Nine Worlds Map, which could be used to kill and trap enemies, and the other was the Vanishing Bracelet in his hand, which could be used to protect himself.
The Nine Worlds Map was a Spirit Artifact. Considering that Lu Ye's cultivation wasn't high enough, Madam Yun sealed ninety percent of the Spirit Artifact's power. Only then could he barely activate the Nine Worlds Map's power.
The Vanishing Bracelet wasn't a Spirit Artifact, so it wasn't easy to classify its grade. However, it was undeniable that it was an extremely special and useful Spirit Artifact.
It could allow Lu Ye to conceal himself like he was doing now.
This was a treasure that Madam Yun used an extremely rare Spirit Wood core. With the concealment Spirit Pattern as the core and several other Spirit Patterns as supplements, it was difficult to estimate its value.
The Nine Worlds Map could kill and trap enemies, while the Vanishing Bracelet could protect oneself from enemies. From this, it could be seen that Madam Yun was worried sick for Lu Ye. She really hoped that he could be safe and inherit her mantle in the future.
Concealment wasn't considered rare. Ghost cultivators with high cultivation could hide their bodies, but that was the result of communicating with the Netherworld. Other than ghost cultivators, it was very difficult for cultivators from other sects to have such a method, unless they used precious Spirit Talismans.
There was a type of Spirit Talisman called the Concealment Talisman. However, not only was it expensive, it was also very rare. Even the Tianji Treasury didn't have it.
Of course, this kind of concealment method wasn't unsolvable. Cultivators had their own perception. The higher their strength, the stronger their perception. Ghost cultivators were indeed good at concealment and assassination, but as long as their perception was strong enough, they could naturally sense those enemies who had concealed themselves.
The Vanishing Bracelet that Madam Yun gave him was extraordinary. The only drawback was that after activating the effect of this Spirit Artifact, Lu Ye couldn't move.
Therefore, Lu Ye had never used this thing before. This time, if it wasn't for the fact that he had no other choice, he wouldn't use it casually.
At this moment, if someone cast a large-scale spell at his location, then he would definitely expose his whereabouts.
Fortunately, this time, he was dealing with those humanoid existences that rushed out of the fog. They were the same as those ordinary Immortal Essence Guardians, they were all thoughtless and unintelligent existences.
After the pursuers had dispersed, Lu Ye revealed himself and rushed forward.
On the way, he attracted a lot of pursuers. Moreover, the Immortal Essence Guardians that were originally everywhere were now nowhere to be seen. It seemed that the Immortal Essence Guardians were also avoiding these humanoid existences that rushed out of the fog.
After running for a while, Lu Ye used the same trick again. He hid his body, got rid of the pursuers, and continued to move forward.
After doing this a few times, he finally saw a hanging lantern.
He rushed to the front of the building in two or three steps, raised his hand to push the door open, and strode inside.
Just as he closed the door, a huge shadow covered him, and a great threat loomed over him.
Lu Ye raised his saber and slashed. With a clang, it was as if he had cut steel, and sparks flew everywhere. When he looked up, he saw a broad figure standing in front of him. A palm the size of a palm-leaf fan was slapping toward him. The speed of the palm wasn't fast, but it rolled up a wind pressure, which showed the power of this palm.
The corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched, and he only felt that he was extremely unlucky. The Body Cultivators he met today were each more abnormal than the last. The woman called Qiao Yun from before was fine. She had a body of fat that couldn't be cut, but the one in front of him was even worse. Lu Ye's saber that was strengthened with sharpness just now didn't cut steel, but slashed at the other party's chest, but only left a white mark.
If Qiao Yun's defense was to rely on her own fat to weaken layer by layer, then the one in front of him was to take it head-on. There was no reason to talk about it.
When the palm came down, Hu Po, who was crouching on Lu Ye's shoulder, cried out.
The palm suddenly stopped above Lu Ye's head. The wind pressure rolled up Lu Ye's hair, and the Mountain Plate Saber in Lu Ye's hand froze in front of the other party's eyes.
The towering man looked at Hu Po, then looked at Lu Ye. He withdrew his palm and scratched his head.
A technique suddenly attacked from the side. Lu Ye was about to dodge, but the man standing in front of him slapped down. The washbasin-sized fireball was scattered by the other party's palm. Lu Ye didn't even feel the other party's Qi, blood, or spiritual power. In other words, the other party had relied on his own physical body to accomplish this.
This kind of physical strength was simply shocking.
"Giant Armor!" An angry voice called out.
"Yes," the towering man replied in a silly manner.
Lu Ye looked to the side and saw a cultivator with a small mustache.
Their eyes met, and the mustache man exclaimed, "So it's you guys. I thought it was someone from the Myriad Devil Ridge. It was a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding. I'm sorry."
Although he said that, his expression didn't have the slightest hint of apology.
Lu Ye had a faint feeling that if Giant Armor hadn't suddenly stopped, the mustached cultivator wouldn't have cared if he was from the Grand Heaven Alliance or the Myriad Devil Ridge. He would have definitely killed him first.
Killing cultivators of the same faction would also give him merit points.
There was a faint smell of blood in the air, indicating that someone had died here.
Lu Ye calmly glanced at the mustached cultivator, then sheathed his saber.
The mustached cultivator welcomed him with a smile. "Fellow Daoist, we're really fated to meet again here."
"Mm."
Lu Ye calmly responded. He looked left and right, then found a corner, walked over, and sat down cross-legged.
Giant Armor came over and looked at Hu Po worriedly. His eyes were as wide as lanterns.
The remaining Immortal Essence Defenders were absorbing Hu Po's power to recover. This caused Hu Po to look somewhat dispirited. He needed a lot of nourishment!
