Lu Ye had long known of his Fourth Senior Brother's fame, and this time, he truly felt it.
Strictly speaking, they were now considered captives, but even so, Li Baxian's arrival had attracted many cultivators who had heard of him for a long time.
In contrast, Tan Sheng and Xia Liang, whose cultivation bases were higher than Li Baxian's, were ignored.
The group chattered for a long time before Zhou Yuntian said, "Alright, alright, His Honor has already planted a secret technique in them, so they'll all be on the same side in the future. There will be plenty of opportunities to communicate, so let's disperse."
The noisy crowd left one after another. Zhou Yuntian closed the door and quietly guarded the room. Only the steady breathing of the unconscious cultivators could be heard in the room.
Various thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind.
Judging from His Honor's actions and the meaning of Zhou Yuntian's words, His Honor had indeed planted some kind of secret technique on them ….
He more or less understood how His Honor had controlled these cultivators. It was because of that unique secret technique.
Thinking back to what he had felt before, Lu Ye was shocked because from what he had felt just now, the secret technique His Honor had used was very likely related to the soul. When His Honor had used the secret technique, he had felt some impact on his mind, and many inexplicable things had appeared in his mind.
However, because his Innate Skill Tree could burn things that had invaded his body and were harmful to him, he was not affected by the secret technique, which made it difficult for him to detect the specific effects of the secret technique.
But … a secret technique of the soul.
Was that possible?
That was a skill that could only be performed by Spirit Sea Realm cultivators. Only those who had reached the Spirit Sea Realm were qualified to use things related to the Spirit.
Everyone had a soul, and as their cultivation increased, their soul would also grow stronger. However, before reaching the Divine Sea Realm, cultivators were unable to actively use the power of their soul, let alone use a secret technique of the soul.
Take Lu Ye for example. Because he had refined a lot of Soul Cleansing Water, his soul was much stronger than cultivators of the same cultivation level, so his mind was more stable. When faced with situations that impacted his mind or soul, he had a natural advantage.
For example, if an ordinary Cloud River Tier cultivator were to die in the Mirage Realm, they would definitely have a headache for one or two days. However, Lu Ye would recover very quickly.
This was the benefit of having a powerful Soul, but even so, he did not have the ability to activate his own Soul Power.
His cultivation base was still far from that level.
However, His Honor was able to use a divine soul secret technique! It was also because of that Soul Secret Technique that Her Excellency was able to control so many cultivators under her command, making those cultivators treat her with great respect and even worship her.
Lu Ye was getting more and more curious about the identity of the Venerable One.
Could it be that some Divine Ocean Realm cultivator had forced his way into the Cloudy River Battlefield?
But that didn't seem right either. On the Spirit Stream Battlefield, powerful cultivators could use their merit points to force their way in. He had never heard of such a thing happening on the Cloud River Battlefield.
The cultivators who could enter the Cloudy River Battlefield had always been at the Cloudy River Tier.
Furthermore, even if a Divine Sea Realm cultivator were to force their way into the Cloudriver Battlefield, they would still be suppressed by the balance of the heavens. If they were to move here, they would not be able to use the Soul Secret Technique.
More importantly, why would a Divine Sea Realm cultivator come here and use the Soul Secret Technique to control a group of Cloudy River Tier cultivators? It couldn't be a child's play.
Thinking about it this way, Lu Ye felt that the Venerable One was most likely not a Divine Sea Realm cultivator.
The more he thought about it, the more he did not understand. Lu Ye simply stopped thinking about it.
He was in an awkward situation. He could use his Talent Tree to dispel the effects of the Soul Secret Technique, but his Fourth Senior Brother could not. Now that he was trapped here, although there was no danger for the time being, the Venerable One had gathered so many cultivators under her command. Her scheme was definitely not small. Who knew when danger would descend?
He made up his mind. He definitely could not reveal that he had dispelled the Soul Secret Technique. Otherwise, he would definitely die!
He waited quietly.
About two hours later, the people around him woke up one after another and sat up.
Lu Ye also opened his eyes and sat up straight. Just as he was about to observe the reaction of his Fourth Senior Brother and imitate him, he suddenly felt an impact of spiritual energy, followed by the sound of swords. Accompanied by the shouts of Tan Sheng and Xia Liang, the scene instantly became a mess.
It was Li Baxian who saw Tan Sheng and Xia Liang next to him and brazenly attacked.
Lu Ye also hurriedly pulled out his Mountain Coiling Saber. Spiritual Power surged around his body and flames wrapped around the saber.
"Stop!" Zhou Yuntian, who had been guarding here all this time, had a change in expression. He rushed over in a flash, his powerful Ninth Order cultivation clearly displayed. The four figures were all pushed aside.
Zhou Yuntian's face was filled with anger. He looked around at the four people who were hostile to each other and coldly said, "I don't care what kind of deep grudges you have before, nor do I care which camp you come from. Since you are here, you are family from now on. Don't mention any grievances."
When he first appeared, he also said something similar, but at that time, no one took his words seriously. Now that he said it again, Lu Ye naturally ignored him. But when he looked at Xia Liang and Tan Sheng's pale faces, he found that they both had awkward expressions.
Turning his head, even Li Baxian's brow furrowed.
Zhou Yuntian coldly said, "What Senior hates the most is to see his own family fight. This is the first time. You didn't understand the rules, so that's understandable, but if you do it again, there will be no mercy!" Pausing for a moment, he shouted, "These are the rules set by Senior. Everyone must abide by them!"
As soon as these words came out, Tan Sheng and Xia Liang both showed looks of panic. Withdrawing their auras, they lowered their heads slightly, "Yes."
Li Baxian also put away his flying sword and nodded, "Understood."
The words' Senior 'seemed to have some kind of magical power to them at this moment, making them obedient.
Zhou Yuntian coldly said, "Since you understand, then make peace. I hope you can really coexist like brothers in the future!"
Xia Liang was silent for a moment before cupping his fists to Lu Ye and Li Baxian, "I have offended you many times before, please forgive me."
Li Baxian politely returned the gesture, "Brother Xia is too serious. There is no need to mention the past. In the future, we will all be subordinates of Senior, so I hope Brother Xia and Brother Tan can take care of us."
"Of course, of course."
Lu Ye stood to the side and watched coldly with a heavy heart. Only now did he realize how terrifying that Soul Secret Technique was. No matter what it was, it was enough to distort a person's mind.
Zhou Yuntian smiled and nodded with satisfaction, "That's right. Since you are here, you will be a family from now on, a family! Come with me, Senior wants to see you, but before that, you have to wash up and change your clothes. "
Saying so, he turned around and left.
Lu Ye and the others quickly followed.
Walking out of the house, Lu Ye looked around and saw that this place should be a valley. The scenery was not as beautiful as Return to Heaven Valley, and the area was not large. However, there were all kinds of buildings in the valley, and there were many traces of cultivators coming and going.
The climate in the valley was pleasant, and there were many peach trees planted here. At this time, it was the season of peach blossoms, and pink peach blossoms were in full bloom, filling the air with the fragrance of peach blossoms.
As Zhou Yuntian walked forward, they met cultivators from time to time, and some of them even curiously looked at Lu Ye and the others.
After walking for a short while, they arrived in front of a pool. The water in the pool was flowing, so clear that one could see the bottom.
Under Zhou Yuntian's instructions, the four took off their clothes and entered the pool to wash their bodies.
Lu Ye never expected that the four people who were fighting to the death before would be happily living together in the same pool. Moreover, Li Baxian, Tan Sheng, and Xia Liang were talking and laughing, as if everything that happened before was just a misunderstanding.
Tan Sheng and Xia Liang's injuries were very serious; after all, they were besieged by a pack of wolves and were able to survive because they were strong enough. In the end, if they had not escaped in time, they would have died in the Spiritual Land.
Not long after, the four finished bathing and put on their clothes. Lu Ye and Li Baxian looked refreshed while Xia Liang and Tan Sheng's faces were still pale.
The injuries the two of them had suffered before would not be healed without a period of recuperation.
Everything was ready, and under Zhou Yuntian's lead, they went deeper into the valley.
They stopped in front of a large hall. There was a woman standing quietly at the entrance of the hall. She was tall and beautiful, and her beautiful eyes were as bright as the stars.
Her gaze swept across Lu Ye and the others, and soon fixed on Li Baxian. She pursed her lips and smiled, "Is he Li Baxian?"
Zhou Yuntian smiled and replied, "Yes, he is Li Baxian."
The woman looked at Li Baxian from head to toe and nodded slightly, "Just like the rumors, handsome and dignified."
Li Baxian smiled and bowed, "Fellow Daoist is too kind."
The woman covered her mouth and smiled, "I thought Li Baxian was an arrogant and cold person, but I misunderstood. Fellow Daoist Li, I am also a sword cultivator, if you have time, I would like to ask Fellow Daoist Li for advice."
Li Baxian said, "I wouldn't dare to give advice, Fellow Daoist's cultivation is far above mine, you should be the one giving me advice."
The woman wanted to say something, but Zhou Yuntian coughed lightly, "Junior Sister Yu, His Excellency is waiting for them."
The woman surnamed Yu's expression immediately became serious, and she moved aside, "Bring them in."
Zhou Yuntian nodded slightly, and led Lu Ye and the others to the front of the hall, and shouted, "Zhou Yuntian requests an audience with His Excellency, I have brought the newcomers."
"Come in!" His Excellency's unique lazy voice came from inside the hall.
Only then did Zhou Yuntian step forward and push open the door, and led Lu Ye and the others into the hall.
As soon as they entered the hall, the tip of their nose smelled a unique and intoxicating fragrance. The furnishings in the hall were pink, and even the interior of the hall was filled with a pink aura, giving off a hazy and ambiguous feeling.
At the top of the hall, there was a low couch. On the low couch, a graceful figure was lazily lying on her side. Beside her, there were a few women who were either squatting or standing. Some were gently fanning her with a fan, some were massaging her legs and shoulders, and some were peeling berries and feeding them to her.
The figure lying on the low couch was undoubtedly His Excellency.
