Lu Ye couldn't figure out why Giant Armor and Hu Po liked each other so much. Back in the mountain valley, they had clearly met for the first time, but the man and beast were very close.
Lu Ye didn't like the mustached cultivator very much, but Giant Armor's simple and honest personality made it hard for him to dislike him.
He threw a few Spirit Pills into his mouth and swallowed them whole, then fed Hu Po a few more.
He switched his Secret Art and his stomach buzzed.
"This Immortal Essence City is really dangerous." The mustached cultivator walked to the door and looked outside through the crack, "Immortal Essence Defenders and fog. Who knows how many people will die this time."
He turned around and looked at Lu Ye with a smile, "Fellow Daoist, did you encounter an enemy?"
Lu Ye looked quite embarrassed at the moment, mainly because he had consumed a lot of energy fighting with the people from Wind Flower Courtyard. He also had some minor injuries on his body.
"An Eighth Order cultivator is still a bit weak here. Would Fellow Daoist consider acting with me? I promise you won't suffer a loss. "
"No need."
The mustached cultivator chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, don't be in a hurry to refuse. It won't be too late to think about it."
Although he said this with a smile, there was a hint of threat in his words. Moreover, he was blocking the door at the moment. It seemed like he was here to investigate the situation outside, but only he knew his real purpose.
This mustached cultivator was really not a good person.
In the mountain valley, Lu Ye refused his invitation because they weren't familiar with each other. After that, this person tried to rope in others, but even when the Infinite Mirage Realm opened, he still couldn't rope in anyone.
It was obvious that this guy didn't have a good reputation. Maybe he had some bad records before, so no one wanted to cooperate with him.
In addition, when Lu Ye rushed in just now, he fought with Giant Armor in a hurry, but after Giant Armor saw Hu Po, he immediately stopped. On the other hand, this mustached cultivator threw a big fireball at him.
He later said it was a misunderstanding, but was it really a misunderstanding? A cultivator's eyesight was very strong, especially when he was a Ninth Order cultivator. Even if he didn't see Lu Ye's appearance at first, he could recognize him later, but he still threw out a big fireball.
This undoubtedly meant something.
[Does this guy want to kill me and steal my treasure?] Lu Ye secretly guessed.
"Hahaha, let me know when you've made up your mind."
Just as Lu Ye was thinking this, the mustached cultivator's smile suddenly became much friendlier. He walked away from the door and called out to Giant Beetle, "Stop playing with other people's pet beasts. Giant Beetle, come back!"
"Oh." Giant Armor grunted in response. It lifted its thick fingers from Hu Po's head and strode forward to follow the spell cultivator into a room inside.
Sitting down cross-legged, the bearded man's expression was one of bewilderment. He couldn't figure out who Lu Ye was.
Just now, he was almost ready to attack. It was not his first time killing someone from the same camp. To a lone cultivator like him, the Haotian Alliance and the Myriad Demons Ridge were all fake. Only his own things were real.
He had crawled all the way from the bottom to the top. He had long seen through the true face of the cultivation world, which was the law of the jungle.
The reason why he didn't make a move was because Giant Armor's attitude towards the other side was somewhat thought-provoking. The second reason was that he suddenly saw many storage pouches hanging from Lu Ye's waist.
Under normal circumstances, cultivators would only carry one storage pouch. It was also possible to carry two or three storage pouches. All kinds of things were stored in different categories so that it was easy to find and retrieve.
There were probably more than a dozen storage pouches hanging from that young man's waist! This was very abnormal. What's more, many of those storage pouches were still stained with fresh blood.
This was the fundamental reason why the mustached man changed his mind. As a lone cultivator who had climbed all the way to the top, he knew one principle very well. That was, he could never judge someone's strength based on their cultivation.
In this world, there were some people who didn't have high cultivation but were extremely strong. There were also some Spirit Artifacts in this world that could conceal Spirit Energy fluctuations and hide one's cultivation.
He couldn't figure out Lu Ye's details, so he didn't dare to act rashly. Capsizing in a ditch was something he had always tried to avoid.
But no matter what, that Eighth Order boy was not someone to be trifled with. He didn't believe that he was just lucky to have picked up so many storage pouches. There was no such coincidence in this world.
Those dozen storage pouches really made him a little greedy. After thinking about it, he raised his hand and tapped on his Battlefield Mark to send a message to Giant Armor.
Giant Armor didn't know anything and just focused on eating.
The mustached man poked Giant Armor and pointed to the back of his hand. Only then did Giant Armor react, look down, and shake his head.
The mustached man glared. What did he mean by shaking his head?
He was just asking Giant Armor why he liked this young man's pet so much, yet he shook his head? This big blockhead was hopelessly stupid.
"If you like it, how about we snatch it?" The mustached man sent another message.
"No," Giant Armor didn't send a message, but responded with his mouth, shaking his head.
The mustached man was so angry that his liver hurt. If it weren't for Giant Armor being so useful, he would have kicked him away.
After being glared at by the mustached man for a while, Giant Armor knew that he had done something wrong again. Scratching his head, he lowered his head and continued eating, his expression soon becoming carefree.
Separated by a wall, Lu Ye restored himself while cracking the seals on the storage pouches. It was quite uncomfortable to have more than a dozen storage pouches hanging from his waist.
As for the malice the mustached man might have shown just now, he didn't take it to heart. If the other party really dared to attack him, he would be courting death.
In less than two hours, Lu Ye finished cracking the storage pouches and destroyed one of them. The main reason was that Lu Ye didn't want to waste too much time, so he was a little hasty when cracking them.
After transferring the useful items out, he threw away the empty storage pouches. He didn't find anything valuable.
Generally speaking, it was hard to find any good treasures in a cultivator's storage pouch. Most cultivators had their own foundations, so the good stuff would be left in their sect's encampment or in a safe place. What they carried with them was for recovery and battle.
Only Lu Ye didn't have a fixed residence and had elders to protect him, so he had plenty of treasures on him.
Hu Po ate a few spirit pills and recovered slightly, but it still looked dispirited. Lu Ye took out his scale and let it suck on it.
Then, he sent a message to Yiyi to ask about the nightmare spirits.
He learned that more than half of the nightmare spirits had died in the previous battle and only fourteen were left.
It seemed like he would have to replenish the nightmare spirits later. The nightmare spirits played a huge role in dealing with the ambush in the Wind Flower Courtyard. In that situation, without the nightmare spirits, Lu Ye could only run away.
No matter how strong he was, he couldn't possibly be a match for so many cultivators.
However, with the nightmare spirits' help, it was different. The Wind Flower Courtyard had suffered heavy losses this time, but they definitely wouldn't be satisfied and would probably come looking for him.
It wasn't difficult to replenish the nightmare spirits. There weren't many things here, but Immortal Essence Defenders were everywhere. He just had to wait for the fog outside to disperse before he could act.
After replenishing the nightmare spirits, he would take the initiative to attack. While the Wind Flower Courtyard hadn't completely gathered, he would find Chuqing and kill her!
His goal was clear all of a sudden! Lu Ye's slightly depressed mood improved a lot.
At the same time, in another building, seven or eight cultivators from the Wind Flower Courtyard were gathered. All of them were injured.
Chuqing's eyes were filled with hatred, and Ruoyan sobbed softly.
Qiao Yun was dead!
She died not long after they retreated!
The situation was completely different from what they had expected. They thought that after those Immortal Essence Defenders captured Qiao Yun, they would lock her up in the dungeon. Even Lu Yiye wouldn't be able to escape. However, Qiao Yun was actually dead!
Qiao Yun was the strongest body cultivator in the Wind Flower Courtyard. This strongest didn't refer to her cultivation, but to her physique. Because of Qiao Yun's physique, her physique was comparable to those body cultivators who had already switched to cultivating Heaven Grade techniques. If it wasn't for her image being too unsightly, the position of garrison guard would have been hers.
It could be said that Qiao Yun was a rare talent in the Wind Flower Courtyard. Because the Wind Flower Courtyard lacked body cultivators, every body cultivator was extremely precious.
With Qiao Yun, the Wind Flower Courtyard's garrison was impregnable. Every time there was a conflict with the Grand Sky Alliance, Qiao Yun would take the lead and withstand a lot of pressure.
It could be said that losing Qiao Yun was definitely an unbearable pain for the Wind Flower Courtyard.
"What are you crying for?" Chuqing shouted.
Ruoyan's sobbing stopped abruptly.
"As a cultivator, life and death are very common. Perhaps you and I will also have a day like this. If you have the strength to cry, why don't you think about how to live on?"
Ruoyan suppressed the grief in her heart and sniffed.
Chuqing patted her shoulder. "That Lu Yiye definitely won't be able to escape death. In any case, our mission this time can be considered completed. We didn't come out empty-handed. When the fog dissipates, go collect Qiao Yun's corpse and cut off Lu Yiye's head. We'll bring it back as an offering to our junior brothers and sisters in heaven."
"Mn." Ruoyan nodded heavily.
Chuqing turned around, tears silently falling down her face.
In another building, Ji Yan of the Divine Hidden Palace held his forehead. He had a terrible headache.
It couldn't be helped. Gu Shenyang had been captured by the Immortal Essence Guards! He was currently being held captive in the dungeon.
Gu Shenyang was unlucky. As soon as he landed in the Immortal Essence City, he was surrounded by a group of Immortal Essence Guards before he could regain his senses. Although he tried his best to resist, it was impossible for two fists to fight against four hands. He was captured on the spot.
According to the junior brothers who saw this scene from afar, Senior Brother Gu's expression was one of extreme despair …
If it was someone else who was captured, it wouldn't be a big deal. The key point was that Gu Shenyang was the guardian of the Divine Hidden Palace. Moreover, he wasn't a body cultivator. If he was taken to the dungeon, he probably wouldn't have a good ending.
The current Divine Hidden Palace could be said to be a group of dragons without a leader. Even though Ji Yan had stepped out in time to support the situation, his prestige was obviously inferior to Gu Shenyang's.
Right now, he could only try to gather as many people as possible. After the fog dissipated, he would see if he could go to the dungeon and rescue Gu Shenyang.
However, he also knew that this chance wasn't big because the dungeon was heavily guarded by the Immortal Essence Guards. It wasn't that other people hadn't tried to break into the dungeon before, but no one had ever been able to break into the dungeon.
The Divine Hidden Palace didn't only have to face this. They also had to face the hostility from the Sunlight Mountain and the Wind Flower Yard. If they knew about this plan, they would definitely obstruct them.
The Divine Hidden Palace was no match for two people at the same time.
Ji Yan was having a headache now. Senior Brother Gu, oh senior Brother Gu, why are you so unlucky?
