After leaving Xie Yunhan's place, Zhou Yuntian rushed to report Lu Ye's matter.
However, he didn't walk far before he sensed the sounds of a fierce battle. He frowned and followed the sound.
Fox Immortal Valley didn't forbid cultivators from exchanging pointers. After all, it was beneficial for cultivators to increase their strength. A good exchange of pointers could also improve the relationship between cultivators. However, such a fierce battle was rare.
As the steward of Fox Immortal Valley, how could Zhou Yuntian not care?
Upon closer inspection, Zhou Yuntian's face paled in fright. This was because the two people fighting were Lu Ye and Xia Liang, two newcomers. Moreover, both of their attacks were extremely ruthless and sharp, but the difference in their cultivations was simply too great, so Lu Ye appeared to be in quite a sorry state. What caused Zhou Yuntian's eyes to twitch even more was the fact that Lu Ye's body was covered in wounds that were neither light nor heavy, blood staining his robes.
"Stop, quickly stop!" Zhou Yuntian hurriedly shouted.
On the battlefield, Lu Ye's Qi and blood were surging. He held his Mountain Saber and stood in place. On the other hand, Xia Liang was calm and composed.
Seeing Zhou Yuntian suddenly come over, the two hurriedly stopped and bowed. "Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Zhou Yuntian's expression was gloomy. He first glared at Xia Liang, making him confused. Then, he turned to Lu Ye and asked with concern, "Fellow Daoist Lu, how are your injuries? Are they serious? "
His enthusiasm surprised Lu Ye, but considering Zhou Yuntian's status as the steward of Fox Immortal Valley, he didn't think too much about it. He only replied, "They're all superficial wounds. I'll be fine after some rest."
Zhou Yuntian let out a long breath. "That's good, that's good." He turned to Xia Liang and reprimanded, "Fellow Daoist Xia, Fellow Daoist Lu's cultivation is far inferior to yours. How could you be so heavy-handed?"
Xia Liang muttered, "No, Fellow Daoist Zhou, it's Lu Yiye who came to find me. He wants me to exchange pointers with him …"
"If you want to exchange pointers, then exchange pointers. How could you injure him?" Zhou Yuntian's face sank. "Everyone in Fox Immortal Valley is of one heart and is as close as brothers and sisters. Fellow Daoist Lu came to exchange pointers with you. You should give him pointers, not injure him!"
Xia Liang didn't know what to say.
Most of the sparring between cultivators could indeed stop at a certain point. However, for two cultivators who used sabers, it was really not effective at all. They had to fight with all their strength to achieve the desired effect.
Moreover, when he fought with Lu Ye, Yang Kai had done his best to control his strength, otherwise, Lu Ye would not have suffered such a simple flesh wound.
Zhou Yuntian's indiscriminate reprimand really made him angry, but he couldn't refute, so he could only look at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, please calm down. I was indeed the one who suggested the spar. Furthermore, Fellow Daoist Xia has already done his best to hold back. It's my fault for not being strong enough …"
Disregarding everything else, he had benefited a lot from this fight with Xia Liang. He couldn't allow Xia Liang to refuse to spar with him because of Zhou Yuntian. That would be a great loss.
"Since I know that your strength is not high, then you should be even more careful!" Zhou Yuntian's face was cold.
Lu Ye really couldn't figure out what was going on with Zhou Yuntian. Speaking of which, besides coming into contact with him at the beginning of Fox Immortal Valley, he hadn't seen him at all these days. His favoritism really made Lu Ye puzzled.
How could he know that Zhou Yuntian had come out from Xie Yunhan's place, and Xie Yunhan had given him an extremely high evaluation, making Zhou Yuntian realize how precious Lu Ye was in terms of array dao.
Xia Liang sighed and said, "I understand. I won't do it again in the future. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Only then did Zhou Yuntian's expression become slightly better. He nodded and said, "Remember, everyone in our Fox Immortal Valley is your brother and sister. If there are any grievances in the past, let them go with the wind!" After a pause, he continued, "Both of you use sabers. Fellow Daoist Lu wants to spar with you because he wants to improve his saber skills. Since that's the case, you can directly guide him. If you really want to spar, you must hold back. You must not hurt him again!"
"Yes," Xia Liang responded.
"Okay, today's matter ends here. I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave first. I don't want to see such a scene next time, otherwise, His Honor will definitely be unhappy," Zhou Yuntian warned lightly.
Hearing him mention His Honor, Xia Liang's expression couldn't help but change. He hurriedly said, "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Zhou. Lu Yiye wants to cultivate the saber, so I will teach him everything I know. I won't hold anything back!"
"That's good."
"Take care, Fellow Daoist Zhou."
Zhou Yuntian nodded lightly, then looked at Lu Ye and said, "If there's anything in the future, feel free to contact me."
Lu Ye responded blankly, "Okay."
Watching Zhou Yuntian's back disappear, Lu Ye had a strange expression.
Today's matter, Zhou Yuntian said that everyone in Fox Immortal Valley was his brother and sister, but he was biased towards him. Lu Ye naturally felt it, but … why?
In terms of cultivation, he was the weakest in the entire Fox Immortal Valley. Other than him, only Li Baxian was at the Fifth Order. Above him, the weakest cultivator was at the Sixth Order.
Was it because of his recent performance in the Dao of Arrays? Looking at the direction Zhou Yuntian came from, he should have come from Xie Yun Han's side. In that case, Xie Yun Han should have said something to him that caused Zhou Yuntian to be so blatantly biased towards him. He even used His Honor's name in the end.
It seemed that … he had made the right choice not to hide his strength in the Dao of Arrays.
"Lu Yiye!"
Xia Liang's voice rang in his ears.
Lu Ye turned around and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, don't take what Fellow Daoist Zhou said to heart. Let's fight again. You don't have to hold back."
"Forget it!" Xia Liang's expression was calm, and no one could tell whether he was happy or angry. "Since Fellow Daoist Zhou has given the order, then the matter of exchanging pointers will be dropped. However, in terms of saber techniques, I can teach you wholeheartedly. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me. Although your saber techniques are overbearing and violent, I can see that your foundation is very poor. It should be because you have no one to guide you systematically. Thinking about it, there were only two or three people in the Blue Blood Sect before you, and none of them used the saber. I'm afraid no one can teach you."
Lu Ye's eyes lit up when he heard this. "I can ask you anything?"
"As long as it's saber techniques, I'll do it. I won't hide anything!"
"Then I'll thank Fellow Daoist Xia in advance!"
Before entering Fox Immortal Valley, Lu Ye had never imagined that he would one day be able to cultivate saber techniques under Xia Liang's guidance. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Xia Liang was from the Wild Saber Sect and had extraordinary talent. The saber techniques he cultivated were the essence of the Wild Saber Sect's many years of accumulation. If he could guide Lu Ye, he would definitely make a lot of mistakes.
Under his guidance, Lu Ye began to cultivate from the most basic chopping. Although the whole process was dry and boring, Lu Ye was in high spirits.
While one was teaching wholeheartedly and the other was learning diligently, Zhou Yuntian had already reported Lu Ye's matter in the Fox Demon's bedroom.
When the coquettish Fox Demon heard this, she revealed a look of surprise and smiled gently. "So, you really picked up a treasure this time? Since Xie Yunhan said so, he must have his reasons. Since that's the case, Lu Ye will be in charge of the formations in Fox Immortal Valley in the future. Let Xie Yunhan be the assistant. "
That chuckle made Zhou Yuntian's bones go soft. Even the few women serving the Fox Demon couldn't help but reveal an intoxicated look in their eyes.
Zhou Yuntian kept his mind clear and did not dare to show disrespect. He accepted the order and said, "This subordinate understands. However, Your Excellency, we haven't been able to find any newcomers recently."
The Fox Demon said, "After all, this place is deep in the Taimang Mountains. Usually, cultivators rarely appear. It's normal that you can't find anyone."
Zhou Yuntian probed, "Then, should we let someone send a message and lure some people over?"
After they entered Fox Immortal Valley, they had cut off all contact with the outside world. The cultivators outside could only determine whether they were alive or dead through the existence of the battlefield imprint. They could not determine their current state and location.
However, if they took the initiative to send a message to the outside world, it would definitely attract a group of people. At that time, as long as the Fox Demon took action, it would continue to strengthen Fox Immortal Valley's strength.
"No!" The Fox Demon decisively rejected. Her body that was originally lying on the soft couch slowly sat up. Her expression was solemn, "Remember, once you enter Fox Immortal Valley, you can never send a message to the outside world. Whoever dares to send a message will die!"
Zhou Yuntian's face paled. He lowered his head and said, "Yes, this subordinate understands!"
"You're dismissed!"
"Yes."
Zhou Yuntian respectfully retreated.
After he left, the Fox Demon's beautiful eyes fluctuated.
Indeed, if they followed Zhou Yuntian's method, Fox Immortal Valley would definitely be able to rapidly strengthen their strength. At that time, not to mention a hundred people, even two hundred people or more would be able to gather in an extremely short period of time.
However … Fox Immortal Valley had existed for so many years. She had used this method to enslave too many human cultivators. She could already feel an indescribable sense of danger.
It was a sense of danger that felt like a sharp blade hanging over her neck that could fall down at any time!
When she first felt this sense of danger, she thought it was an illusion. However, as time passed, this sense of danger became clearer and clearer.
She understood that it was not an illusion. Instead, it was Tianji paying attention to her.
A power that should not have appeared on the battlefield of the Cloud River Tier had appeared. This power was used to enslave Cloud River Tier cultivators. This undoubtedly infuriated Tianji, causing her to feel an immense sense of danger.
She knew that there would be a day when Tianji would punish her for her actions. However, before that, she still had something that she had to do. She could not do it with her own strength. She could only enslave more cultivators to help her complete it.
Enlisting new cultivators was already the limit. If she really used that method to lure others into the trap, it would only increase Tianji's attention on her and the danger hanging over her head. The gains would not make up for the losses.
"It's already late. Cultivate again tomorrow," Xia Liang said. He took out a jade scroll from his storage bag and handed it to Lu Ye. "This is the cultivation experience of saber techniques compiled by the elders of my sect. You can take a look at it. Be sure not to lose it."
Lu Ye took the jade scroll. "Many thanks, Brother Xia."
Fox Immortal Valley. It was really a good place!
