In the room, the mustached cultivator would occasionally run to the door and look at the situation outside through the crack of the door. He probably wanted to see if the fog outside had dissipated.
Lu Ye ignored him and focused on recovering. According to the jade slip he bought from the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance, the duration of this fog was not fixed. The shortest duration was two hours, and the longest duration was one or two days. There was no accuracy.
Half a day later, the mustached cultivator checked and suddenly shouted, "Giant Armor."
Giant Armor, who had a wide figure and wore a tattered hemp garment, walked out of the room with his chest half-exposed.
The mustached cultivator cupped his hands at Lu Ye and said, "Fellow Daoist, we'll take our leave first. See you again."
He had restrained himself and didn't dare to attack Lu Ye in the end.
After saying that, he walked out of the room with Giant Armor. The two figures, one tall and one short, quickly disappeared.
After they left, Lu Ye stood up and went to the door to look outside. After confirming that the fog had dissipated, he also left.
He wanted to replenish the Nightmare Spirits under Hu Po's command, and at the same time, he wanted to find traces of Chuqing and the others.
Lu Ye also had another idea, which was to replace the Nightmare Spirits with special Nightmare Spirits like Liu Sanbao. The Nightmare Spirits transformed from ordinary Immortal Essence Guards had a rigid fighting style, and it was difficult for them to display their original strength. The Nightmare Spirits transformed from Immortal Essence Guards were much better, and Liu Sanbao was more flexible and changeable.
After transforming into a Nightmare Spirit, he indeed didn't have his own thoughts, but as long as Hu Po gave him an order, he could execute it perfectly. He was much better than ordinary Immortal Essence Guards.
However, Nightmare Spirits like Liu Sanbao were rare, so he still needed to use the Nightmare Spirits of Immortal Essence Guards.
After the fog dissipated, the Immortal Essence Guards and the cultivators who were hiding also became active. As Lu Ye walked along the road, he could easily feel the fluctuations of fighting nearby.
Not long after, he encountered a group of Immortal Essence Guards. Before the Immortal Essence Guards could make a move, he had already taken the initiative. After a while, the group of Immortal Essence Guards was taken down, and the number of Nightmare Spirits increased by a few more.
Although he decided to replace all the Nightmare Spirits with Immortal Essence Guards like Liu Sanbao, this kind of thing could be done slowly. It was more important to ensure the number of Nightmare Spirits first.
Along the way, Lu Ye occasionally saw buildings with lanterns hanging on them. He searched with excitement, hoping to encounter an existence like Liu Sanbao, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything.
From the looks of it, there weren't many special spirit bodies like Liu Sanbao in the Immortal Essence City.
Two hours later, the Nightmare Spirit was replenished. Lu Ye had Hu Po release a Nightmare Spirit to follow him. He wanted to test something.
After walking for a short while, a group of Immortal Essence Guards walked towards them. The Bi Spirit that followed Lu Ye immediately activated the Spirit Binding Chains and tied Lu Ye up.
The distance between them kept getting closer and closer, and then they brushed past each other. The Immortal Essence Guard that was walking towards him did not even look at him.
It was really useful!
Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
The reason why he wanted to test this was mainly because once Lu Ye's plan was completed, he would no longer have to engage in unnecessary conflicts with the Immortal Essence Defenders. There was no benefit in killing those Immortal Essence Defenders, and it would be a waste of energy.
Now that he could use the Nightmare Spirit on his side to make it look like he had been captured and deceive those Immortal Essence Guards, he could avoid a battle most of the time.
But now was not the time. He had to wait for all the Nightmare Spirits to be replaced with small captains.
Just as he was thinking this, a few cultivators suddenly rushed out from a nearby building. A male cultivator in his early twenties in the lead looked Lu Ye up and down and said, "Fellow Daoist, please show us your mark."
Lu Ye glanced at them and activated the battlefield mark on his back. The mark immediately emitted a blue light.
"Kill him!" The cultivator waved his hand, and the few of them immediately got into an attacking posture.
Then, they were shocked to see the Spirit Binding Chains binding Lu Ye retract. One after another, ghost-like spiritual bodies floated out from Hu Po, who was crouching on Lu Ye's shoulder. Before they could figure out what was going on, they were firmly bound by the Spirit Binding Chains.
Lu Ye stretched his neck and walked in front of the male cultivator, slowly pulling out the Mountain Saber from his waist.
The man was scared silly and looked at Lu Ye in disbelief. "How can you control the Immortal Essence Guards?"
It was precisely because they saw Lu Ye being captured by the Immortal Essence Guards that they jumped out to block his path. If he was one of their own, they would naturally save him and strengthen their side. But if he was an enemy, they would feel sorry.
They never thought that there would be someone in this world who could control the Immortal Essence Guards!
"Do you know where Chuqing of the Wind Flower Courtyard is?"
"I don't know."
"Then you're useless." The saber slashed down, and blood splattered.
Lu Ye walked in front of the second person and asked the same question.
"I know."
"Swear the Heavenly Secret Oath!"
"I … I don't know."
…
After a while, several corpses were lying on the ground. Lu Ye took their storage pouches.
These people should not be from the Wind Flower Courtyard, because there was not a single woman among them. They were either loose cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge or people from the Sunlight Mountain. Naturally, they did not know where Chuqing was.
Anyway, pretending to be captured by the Immortal Essence Guards was quite useful. Not only could he deceive the other Immortal Essence Guards, he could also fish for them. Lu Ye wanted to keep doing this.
But considering that he was tied up by the Spirit Binding Shackles, he gave up on this idea.
Lu Ye continued to move forward. When he encountered Immortal Essence Guards, he would take down the squad leaders and replace the ordinary Bi Ling. Occasionally, he would encounter some other cultivators in groups, so it was inevitable that there would be some fights. But now, Lu Ye had over 30 Bi Ling in his hands. Those cultivators were no match for him. They had thought that there was only one enemy, but now, over 30 of them had jumped out.
What a surprise! More and more storage pouches were collected.
There were also some people from the Grand Sky Alliance. Lu Ye got some information from them. The cultivators from the Sunlight Mountain and the Wind Flower Courtyard were gathering. Obviously, they wanted to take this opportunity to kill all the cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance.
Among the cultivators who entered the Immortal Essence City, there were over a hundred more cultivators from the Demons Ridge than the Grand Sky Alliance. Most of them were from the Sunlight Mountain.
Therefore, the Hidden God Palace was having a hard time, while the loose cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance were forced to gather in the Hidden God Palace.
It could be foreseen that it would not be long before the cultivators from both sides would have a battle. The outcome of this battle would determine the life and death of the cultivators from both sides in the future. Once the two forces from the Myriad Devil Ridge gained the upper hand in this battle, they would definitely kill everyone from the Grand Heaven Alliance.
Two forces from the Grand Sky Alliance should have entered this place. Unfortunately, the force called the Over Cloud Palace was still on the way when the Immeasurable Mirage opened, so they could not enter.
When the cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance saw that Lu Ye was alone, they tried to persuade him to join them.
Lu Ye refused. It was safe to join the other cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance, but it would be too late when the Myriad Demons Ridge was ready. He seemed to be alone, but he actually had over 30 Nightmare Spirits. As long as he didn't encounter too many enemies, he could deal with them.
He would have more freedom if he was alone. He could also find a chance to weaken the power of the Myriad Demons Ridge. He had killed a lot of cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge along the way.
Moreover, he hadn't finished his plan to replace all the Nightmare Spirits with squad leaders.
Lu Ye stopped in front of a three-story building. There was more than one lantern hanging in front of the building. Instead, there was a row of lanterns. He didn't know what it was. There was also a tattered horizontal board above the main door. The original words on the horizontal board couldn't be seen clearly. Only the last word, Lou, was left.
Lu Ye pushed the door and entered. A rotten smell came from the room.
He couldn't tell what the room used to be. It was very messy now. There was also an old staircase leading to the second floor.
After searching the first floor, Lu Ye didn't find anything. Then, he walked to the second floor.
When he entered the second floor, Lu Ye's eyes lit up. There was actually a spiritual body here.
Lu Ye had only seen Liu Sanbao, a special spiritual body that hid in the Immortal Essence City. There was nothing to say about this guy's performance in battle. He was several times more useful than those squad leaders.
The spiritual body in front of him was a woman. She had a pretty face and a soft and weak expression. Her clothes were immoral and she was holding a pipa in her arms.
Lu Ye didn't think that she was easy to bully because she looked weak. There were three corpses lying near the spiritual body. He didn't know which three unlucky bastards they were. Looking at their state before they died, it was obvious that they were tortured. Blood was flowing out from their seven orifices. The frozen expression on their faces showed that they were in pain.
Sensing the movement, the weak woman shyly raised her head and looked at Lu Ye. Her eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist. She was so beautiful that she could steal one's soul. She gently opened her red lips and said in a gentle voice, "Guest, do you know how to recite poems?"
These special spiritual bodies that hid in the Immortal Essence City all had their own obsessions or hobbies when they were alive. Liu Sanbao was a gambler, so when Lu Ye entered his room, he wanted to bet with Lu Ye. The bet would only end when Lu Ye put his life on the line. Under normal circumstances, Liu Sanbao would win.
This spiritual body's obsessions were a bit strange. She immediately asked Lu Ye if he knew how to recite poems.
"I don't."
"Then do you know how to do it?"
"I also don't."
"Then what do you know?"
"I know how to chop people!"
Lu Ye raised his hand and pulled out the Mountain Pan Dao.
The spiritual light on the spiritual body's surface was even denser than Liu Sanbao's. This spiritual body was probably at Heaven Rank Level 8 or even Level 9. The Immortal Essence City was indeed full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
The spiritual body glanced at the Mountain Pan Dao. She didn't get angry because of Lu Ye's rudeness. She only smiled gently.
But soon, she couldn't smile anymore. This was because Immortal Essence Guardians floated out of Hu Po's body one after another. In the blink of an eye, they filled the room.
"Wuwuwu …" The spiritual body was the first to make trouble. Her smile turned into a crying face. Tears flowed out of her eyes. She looked very sad.
An invisible force swept across the second floor. The spiritual light on the Immortal Essence Guardians' bodies flashed wildly. Even Lu Ye felt his head sink.
Lu Ye's heart trembled. This was a sound attack. It was an attack that could be transmitted through sound. He had only heard of it and had never seen it before. He wanted to raise his blade, but he couldn't control his arm while the spiritual body was crying.
