Cultivating, setting up Spirit Arrays, and reading books … Lu Ye didn't know how the others were doing in Immortal Essence City, but he was living a fulfilling life.
This made Lu Ye want to return to Blue Blood Sect and cultivate in seclusion, but considering his current Eighth Order cultivation, it was not appropriate for him to stay in the Outer Circle for a long time. Besides, there were many Sects on Golden Light Peak that he had yet to avenge.
He could only move around in the Inner Circle now. When his cultivation was higher and he went to the Core Circle, it would be difficult to find some Sects for revenge.
For example, he had fought forty-three battles on Golden Light Peak, and many of these forty-three Sects were Sects in the Outer Circle.
It was not appropriate for him to go to the Outer Circle to seek revenge now, as it would only cause chaos.
Li Baxian had said before that the Outer Circle's affairs were handled by the Outer Circle's people, and the Inner Circle's affairs were handled by the Inner Circle's people. Every Circle had something that was agreed upon. This was not a rule, but it was something that the cultivators of both camps had to abide by. No matter which side violated it, it would cause some bad consequences.
Although he was in Immortal Essence City, the speed of his Spirit Apertures opening was not slow, basically maintaining the frequency of opening one aperture every three days. Now, his Spirit Apertures had almost reached one hundred and sixty.
It seemed that when he went to Shen Ying Palace as a guest in the future, he would have to prepare a Heaven Grade Secret Art in advance, just in case.
On this day, Lu Ye was bored, so he took out the Breath Fruit Core from his Storage Bag and prepared to enter the Mirage Realm to relax his muscles and bones.
It was a bit boring to cultivate and read books all day long. He couldn't leave Immortal Essence City for the time being, so he had to find something else to do.
Moreover, although he was sure that the Mirage Realm he entered through the Breath Fruit Core had something to do with Immortal Essence City, he had never figured out what the relationship was.
The only thing he could be sure of was that there was constantly rolling fog in both places, and there were also fog shadows coming out of the fog. As for the rest, he didn't know for the time being.
Just as he took out the Breath Fruit Core from his storage bag, somewhere in the Celestial Origin City, a pair of eyes suddenly opened. There was a thoughtful look in those eyes. Then, the figure of the owner of those eyes flashed and disappeared from where he stood.
In the room, Lu Ye frowned slightly. He didn't know if it was an illusion or not, but when he was about to pour his Qi into the Breath Fruit Core, he suddenly felt like he was being watched by someone.
He looked left and right, but didn't find anything out of the ordinary. When he looked carefully again, that feeling disappeared.
Holding the Breath Fruit Core, Lu Ye's spiritual power surged.
Pa …
Lu Ye's hair stood on end, and when he looked up, a figure had appeared in front of him. It was a man who looked to be in his thirties or forties, and he wore a luxurious purple robe. He was tall and handsome, and looked like a phoenix or a dragon. He grabbed Lu Ye's arm and looked at him helplessly.
Their eyes met. Lu Ye tried to pull his arm back, but failed. The other party clearly didn't use much strength, but he was still able to immobilize him.
This person was very strong, super strong!
He was even stronger than the woman in the red dress!
Who was this person? Where did it come from? What was he going to do? All kinds of questions popped up in Lu Ye's mind one after another. He didn't feel any malice from the other party, but then again, such a powerful existence probably wouldn't have any malice towards him, just like how he wouldn't have any malice towards an ant on the side of the road.
His thoughts fluctuated, but that didn't stop him from instinctively using his left hand to pull out the Pan Shan Saber from his waist and chopped down at the incoming person.
Clang …
The long saber stopped in mid-air. The newcomer only raised two fingers, and the saber was caught in mid-air.
Lu Ye looked at the Pan Shan Saber, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
When they heard the commotion, Hu Po and Giant Armor, who were eating outside, rushed in together. Hu Po roared, and the spirit embodiments appeared one after another. Giant Armor also took a large step forward, his blood boiling.
"Don't move!" Lu Ye growled.
Giant Armor ignored him, and went to the newcomer's side. He threw a punch, and the newcomer was unharmed, but Giant Armor was sent flying.
What was even more shocking was that the nightmare spirits released by Hu Po didn't attack the newcomer. They just stood there in a daze. Only Hu Po pounced over, and Yiyi cast a spell.
In mid-air, Hu Po returned to his original form and bit down on the newcomer's head. Then … he got stuck.
Yiyi's spell didn't have any effect. No matter what she did, she couldn't hurt the newcomer at all.
The man holding Lu Ye's arm and the Pan Shan Saber looked even more helpless.
A moment later, Lu Ye sheathed his saber. Yiyi and Giant Armor, who ran back, stood vigilantly beside him.
Two feet away, the purple-robed man stood still. Hu Po was still holding his head in his mouth, and he was still hanging on his body. Around him was a group of stupefied nightmare spirits.
"Hu Po!" Lu Ye yelled.
Hu Po opened his mouth and let go of the person.
The purple-robed man tidied his clothes and sighed slightly. He walked to the side and sat down. "Young friend, don't be nervous. I don't have any ill intentions."
Lu Ye didn't say anything. He really didn't have any ill intentions. If he did, no one in this room would survive.
Lu Ye glanced at the Nightmare Spirits on the side and said, "What brings you here, City Lord?"
Yiyi was slightly surprised and looked at Lu Ye in surprise.
The purple-robed man was also surprised. He changed into a more comfortable sitting position and smiled. "Young friend, how can you be sure that I'm the City Lord?"
"I've seen a woman in a red dress on a swing. She's the strongest person I've seen in Immortal Essence City. But compared to the City Lord, there's a big gap. I think, other than the City Lord, there shouldn't be anyone stronger than her in the city."
"Just based on that?"
"And them." Lu Ye looked at the nightmare spirits standing to the side. "Hu Po should have given them an order, but they didn't attack. It means that they instinctively don't want to be enemies with the City Lord."
The purple-robed man nodded slightly. "Let's say you're right."
This was admitting his identity.
"As for my purpose of coming here." The City Lord stretched out two fingers and pinched the Breath Fruit core he got from Lu Ye. He said with a serious expression, "Young friend, this thing can't be used in Immortal Essence City. Not only can it not be used in Immortal Essence City, it can't be used in any Infinite Mirage Realm."
"Why?"
"I can only say that it will lead to some very bad consequences."
"Such as?"
"There are some things that you'd better not know." The City Lord smiled. Obviously, he wasn't going to explain anything to Lu Ye. As he spoke, he threw the Breath Fruit core back.
Lu Ye caught it and a look of contemplation flashed in his eyes, but he couldn't think of anything. But since the City Lord had personally come to tell him this, he naturally wouldn't be tactful and rashly try to activate the Breath Fruit core. That would only anger the other party.
"Do you have tea?" The City Lord asked again.
"No."
"That's a pity." The City Lord got up and walked in front of Lu Ye. He clenched his fist and coughed lightly. "I have another thing to explain to you."
"City Lord, please speak."
The City Lord turned his gaze to the nightmare spirits. "You can't take them out."
"Will it also lead to very bad consequences?"
"That's not it. It's just that if you take them out, they will die."
Lu Ye looked thoughtful. The message in these words was a bit big, but he couldn't figure out the key points in a short time.
Seeing Lu Ye's expression, the City Lord was a little speechless. If possible, he wouldn't show up. He had already made plans before. When the Immortal Essence City expelled Lu Ye, he would use some means to intercept these transformed nightmare spirits and keep them in the Immortal Essence City.
At that time, Lu Ye wouldn't know what happened. The biggest possibility was that he would misunderstand that the souls of the Immortal Essence City couldn't be taken out.
This matter could be left unsettled.
But what the City Lord didn't expect was that Lu Ye actually took out that thing, forcing him to show up and explain the pros and cons to Lu Ye.
Since he had already shown his face, he couldn't use his secret methods anymore. He could only do it openly.
"This is the City Lord's order?"
To be honest, the nightmare spirits transformed by Hu Po were a big help. If he could take them out, they would be of great help to him in a short time, but after a long time, they wouldn't be of much help. After all, the strength of these nightmare spirits was limited.
"This is a request." The City Lord said seriously.
Lu Ye understood.
"These souls belong to Hu Po. Hu Po has the final say on whether to take them out or not. Why don't you talk to him, City Lord?"
The City Lord stared at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye was under great pressure.
Although they had only met for a short time, the City Lord didn't seem like someone who would bully the weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have said so much to him just now.
As the saying goes, a gentleman should take advantage of the situation, so Lu Ye felt that he could take the opportunity to do something. Since it was a request, it could be discussed.
What he was afraid of was that the other party would flip the table. At that time, he could only admit defeat.
"State your conditions." The City Lord said angrily.
"Soul Cleansing Pool!"
The City Lord had an "as expected" expression. He had guessed that Lu Ye would raise this condition.
"How about I give you a spirit treasure?" The City Lord said.
Yiyi silently took out the Nine Worlds Map from the side.
The City Lord increased the price. "Two? Three? "
Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Foreign objects are just foreign objects."
Hearing this, the City Lord nodded in agreement. "You're right. Fine, I'll grant you this."
Lu Ye was delighted, but he didn't show it on his face. He stretched out his hand and drew a circle. "We all want to go."
The City Lord was so angry that he laughed. "Do you want to add more people? I see that there are still a lot of people outside."
"That's not necessary. One can't be too greedy."
"This City Lord hasn't wanted to hit anyone in a long time. You'd better watch your words."
Lu Ye immediately shut his mouth tightly. If he was beaten up, he wouldn't be able to fight back.
The City Lord glared at him again. Then, he waved his hand and slashed at the many Bi Spirits.
There was a faint sound of something being cut. Hu Po's body trembled. The Bi Spirits with dull expressions and lifeless eyes seemed to have come back to life. Their eyes immediately regained their spirit.
Immediately after, the many Bi Spirits bowed to the City Lord and quickly dispersed.
"Let's go." As the City Lord spoke, Lu Ye felt a force wrap around him and the stars in front of him instantly shifted.
