Ever since he met Zhou Yuntian and the others, there was a strange aura everywhere.
Zhou Yuntian was from Burning Heaven Valley and was from the Myriad Demon Ridge camp, so the other cultivators with him must also be from Myriad Demon Ridge.
But even if these people recognized Li Baxian, they did not show the slightest hostility towards him. Even after Xia Liang asked for help, they said that there were no camps here, boasting shamelessly that they could resolve the grievances between the two sides.
At this moment, there was even an inexplicable Venerable One that appeared out of nowhere, causing Zhou Yuntian and the others to be extremely respectful.
As for the people carrying the Imperial Concubine Bed, they were astonishingly four Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivators!
[This Senior … just who is he?]
What they saw in front of them was undoubtedly difficult for Lu Ye and Li Baxian to understand, while Xia Liang and Tan Sheng were also full of doubts.
Amidst the silence, a voice suddenly sounded, "Is there another newcomer?"
The voice came from the Imperial Concubine's bed, languid and sweet, making those who heard it feel as if an invisible hand was tugging at their heartstrings. As this voice sounded, Lu Ye's heart skipped a beat, and an inexplicable desire welled up in his heart.
Along with this voice, it was not just the heartbeat, but also the relaxation of one's mind. Although it was impossible to see what the woman on the bed looked like, just listening to her voice gave off an extremely warm feeling, making one want to be completely immersed in it.
Lu Ye's heart was on high alert, and Li Baxian beside him also noticed that something was wrong, his sword-like brow furrowed as his eyes filled with vigilance. Looking at Tan Sheng and Xia Liang over there, Li Baxian's expression became even more dignified.
Because at this moment, both of them had blurred eyes as they stared at the figure on the Imperial Concubine's bed, their eyes filled with a fiery look.
Tan Sheng and Xia Liang were much stronger than Lu Ye and Xia Liang, and both of them had extraordinary backgrounds, so logically speaking, it was impossible for them to be so weak. However, both of them were seriously injured and had consumed a lot of Spirit Qi and Concentration, so their performance at this moment was much worse than Lu Ye and Xia Liang.
Zhou Yuntian respectfully replied, "Reporting to Senior, these four Fellow Daoists seem to have some grievances and were fighting here. We have already stopped them."
"En." On the fragrant imperial concubine couch, the lazy voice sounded again, "These two Ninth Order Realms aren't bad."
Then, Lu Ye felt someone's gaze pass through the curtain and land on him. "These two are a little lacking."
Zhou Yuntian immediately said, "Senior, one of these two is Fellow Daoist Li Ba Xian, a legend of the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Although his cultivation isn't high, his potential is limitless. If he can break through to the Ninth Order Cloud River Realm in the future, he will be able to help Senior achieve his long-cherished wish. As for the one beside him … Subordinate doesn't recognize him, but since he can accompany Li Ba Xian, he can't be mediocre."
"If that's the case …" His Honor lightly muttered, seemingly thinking about something. Very quickly, he made a decision, "Then, let's bring them all back."
"Yes!"
The conversation between Zhou Yuntian and His Honor was transmitted into Lu Ye's ears, causing Lu Ye's mood to become indescribably heavy. Previously, Lu Ye only felt that the situation was somewhat strange, and there were many things that were hard to understand, but right now, there were even more things that were hard to understand.
Because Zhou Yuntian, a mere Ninth Order cultivator, actually claimed to be a subordinate in front of that Venerable!
This Venerable … Who exactly was she?
From the looks of the situation, it wasn't just Zhou Yuntian, but all the cultivators here were subordinates of that Venerable.
What kind of magical means did she have to make so many proud and arrogant cultivators follow her orders?
Suddenly, a large amount of pink mist spread out from the Imperial Concubine's bed and swept towards Lu Ye and the others.
Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed down on the Mountain Coiling Saber, his Spirit Energy surging, while Li Ba Xian's Flying Swords were also hovering around him.
However, before the two of them could do anything, auras from all directions firmly locked onto them, causing their movements to instantly freeze. Zhou Yuntian said, "Fellow Daoist Li, please don't be impatient. His Honor has no ill intentions towards you, he just wants to invite you back as guests."
Although his words were pleasant to hear, if Li Ba Xian and Lu Ye really dared to resist, they would definitely be suppressed by these people.
In such a situation, how could the two of them be opponents? Even escaping would be an extravagant hope.
Lu Ye and Li Ba Xian looked at each other and saw the helplessness in each other's eyes. This time, they really were meat on someone's chopping block.
The pink mist swept over and enveloped a large area. The mist was filled with the intoxicating fragrance that they smelled before.
Lu Ye immediately noticed the abnormality in his Talent Tree. He immersed his Divine Sense into it and saw a gray mist ignite on his Talent Tree.
This pink mist … was poisonous, but the toxicity wasn't too strong, so the Talent Tree didn't react much.
Just as he was about to urge his Spirit Energy to protect himself, Zhou Yuntian's voice sounded again, "Fellow Daoists, please don't resist!"
His voice wasn't as gentle as before and was now a bit colder. Clearly, if Lu Ye and the others resisted, these people would take action to suppress them.
Lu Ye quietly stood in place, guessing what the pink mist was for. The toxicity wasn't strong, so these people clearly didn't have any intention of killing them.
Since they didn't want to kill them and said they wanted to invite them back as guests, then the use of this mist …
Lu Ye turned his head to look, only to see Xia Liang and Tan Sheng suddenly slumped to the ground, unconscious.
Li Baxian, who was beside him, also staggered and then fell to the ground.
Immediately after Li Baxian, Lu Ye directly fell to the ground. Even Hu Po, who was squatting on his shoulder, also fell into a deep sleep.
"Bring all of them back." His Honor's soft voice sounded once again.
"Yes!" Zhou Yuntian replied.
Immediately after, Lu Ye felt someone grab him by the clothes around his waist and lift him up. Like the wind and lightning, he quietly opened his eyes and looked around. He saw that Hu Po was also being held in the other hand of the person who was lifting him.
They went all the way to the depths of Taimang Mountain and only after about half an hour did they show signs of descending.
Lu Ye pretended to be unconscious and didn't dare to open his eyes. He didn't know where exactly he was, but he heard many people greeting him and there were also many powerful life fluctuations around him.
There seemed to be a lot of cultivators gathered here.
The sound of a door being pushed open sounded, and a moment later, Lu Ye felt himself being brought into a room and placed on a bed. Immediately after, Zhou Yuntian's voice sounded, "You all go rest, I'll stay here and keep watch."
Someone replied, "Then, we'll have to trouble Brother Zhou."
"It's a small matter."
The others retreated one after another, leaving only Zhou Yuntian here to keep watch.
Lu Ye laid down motionlessly and calmly sensed his surroundings. He could hear several even breathing sounds around him, presumably, it was Li Baxian and others who were unconscious.
After waiting for a moment, the door was pushed open again, and that Zhou Yuntian respectfully said, "Your Honor."
A fragrant wind blew over, it was the same intoxicating fragrance that Lu Ye smelled before.
Then, Lu Ye felt that His Honor was standing not far away from him. He didn't know what His Honor was busy with, but Lu Ye clearly felt a strange energy fluctuation.
A moment later, a soft muffled groan sounded. That sound seemed to be coming from Xia Liang.
His Honor moved his feet, and that strange energy fluctuation fluctuated again. A moment later, another muffled groan sounded, and this time, it was Tan Sheng's voice.
He wasn't killing people, because Lu Ye could sense that Tan Sheng and Xia Liang were still alive. This made him very curious, what kind of method His Honor was using.
Very soon, it was Li Baxian's turn, and just like the previous two, he also let out a muffled groan.
The fragrance lingering around the tip of Lu Ye's nose became a lot richer, and Lu Ye felt that His Honor had already walked to his side. In the next moment, two warm and soft fingers were placed on his forehead.
That strange energy fluctuation fluctuated again, and Lu Ye instantly felt that his mind was slightly impacted. Immediately after, something inexplicable seemed to have appeared in his mind.
Involuntarily, he also let out a muffled groan.
After that, His Honor's voice was filled with traces of weakness as he instructed Zhou Yuntian, "When they wake up, have them wash up and bring them to see me. They stink so bad." Zhou Yuntian's voice was filled with a trace of weakness.
"Yes!" Zhou Yuntian replied respectfully.
The sound of footsteps quickly faded away, it was clear that His Honor had left.
At this time, Lu Ye was immersed in inspecting his Talent Tree. While inspecting, a large amount of gray mist ignited on the Talent Tree, but very soon, that gray mist completely disappeared, and the Talent Tree also returned to normal.
Just what kind of inexplicable method did His Honor use on me?
Lu Ye recalled what happened just now. When His Honor used that method, his mind was obviously impacted greatly, and something inexplicable seemed to have appeared in his mind.
It shouldn't be poison, but for the Talent Tree to have a reaction, it means that it is something that has invaded my body and is harmful to me. Thus, no matter what it is, it has already been burned clean by the Talent Tree, and I won't be affected at all.
I have the Talent Tree, but fourth senior brother doesn't.
In other words, no matter what kind of method His Honor used, fourth senior brother has already been affected!
Not only fourth senior brother was affected, Tan Sheng and Xia Liang were affected as well.
I have to be a bit more careful when I go back, if my performance is different from fourth senior brother and the others, it is very likely that I will be exposed. Just when he was thinking about this, suddenly, footsteps sounded out, and soon after, someone said, "Brother Zhou, I heard that Li Baxian is here?"
Zhou Yuntian who was left behind to guard the Talent Tree said with a smile, "You guys sure are well-informed, we have just returned and you guys have already heard about it?"
The person who spoke said, "Brother Zhao, did you guys say that Li Baxian is here?"
"Isn't that right!"
The next moment, Lu Ye felt a lot of people gather around him, and one after another, voices rang out.
"It really is Li Baxian!"
"Brother Zhou has made a great contribution this time. Being able to gather such a talent for His Honor, he will definitely be rewarded."
"It is our honour to be able to serve His Honor, there is no need for any reward."
"Yes, yes, yes."
"But I heard that Li Baxian is only at the Fifth Order Cloud River Realm now, isn't his cultivation a bit low?"
"Low cultivation doesn't mean anything right now, he is Li Baxian, if he is allowed to grow to the Ninth Order, none of us will be his opponent."
