As the aftermath of the battle in the mine continued to ferment, a large number of cultivators entered the area to search for Lu Ye's whereabouts.
Although more than 20 million Devil Ridge cultivators had died at his hands, including many Eighth or Ninth Order Masters, they were all killed by poison after all. It had nothing to do with Lu Ye's strength.
As far as the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators knew, Lu Ye was only a Fifth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, so even if the result of the battle in the mine was shocking, it could not erase their enthusiasm and determination to find Lu Ye.
Moreover, after such a battle, in the eyes of the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators, even if Lu Ye did not die, it was impossible for him to be safe and sound. Therefore, he could not have escaped far and was hiding nearby.
As for the poison he had used, although it was frightening, it was something that could kill two thousand people, so it must be extremely precious. Lu Ye might not have it in his hands. Even if he did, it did not matter too much. As long as he was not in a secluded environment like the mine, it would not be a big problem.
It could be said that after the battle in the mine, the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators' targeting of Lu Ye not only did not lessen, but also intensified.
On the second floor of a teahouse facing the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union in the East Fifty-Sixth Heaven's Secret City, a cultivator was waiting quietly.
A moment later, two figures quietly arrived and sat opposite him.
The two who came later were a man and a woman. The man was handsome and the woman was beautiful. When they stood together, they could be said to be a perfect match. However, both of them had a burning flame mark on their foreheads.
In the entire Nine Provinces, only the cultivators of one great force had such an eye-catching mark.
Sacred Flame Sect!
"Senior Brother Chu, Senior Sister Zhou." The cultivator who had been waiting here hurriedly stood up and saluted.
Chu Yun nodded slightly and looked at the Heavenly Secret Commerce Union, asking, "Are you sure that is Lu Yi Ye?"
The cultivator said, "I didn't see his face. He was wearing an evil ghost mask, but judging from his figure, he was no different from Lu Yi Ye. He was also carrying a huge bag."
Zhou Pei's soft voice sounded, "Lu Yi Ye had a small white beast with him. Did you see it?"
"I haven't seen that before." This was also what he was puzzled about. Lu Yiye always had a little white beast by his side, and it had almost become his signature. However, he didn't see any white beast that day, so he didn't dare to be too sure that the person he saw was Lu Yiye. However, to be cautious, he still spread the news.
Both of them were Ninth Order Cloud River Realm masters, which showed just how much importance Sacred Flame Sect attached to this matter.
After all, Fire Prairie had died at the hands of Lu Ye. Furthermore, there was an irreconcilable enmity between the Sacred Flame Sect and the Jade Blood Sect. If there was a sect in the Myriad Devil Ridge that wanted to destroy the Jade Blood Sect the most, it would be the Sacred Flame Sect.
Both of them had rushed over from their own sects in the Nine States. The Fire Prairie had been killed, and many of their disciples had died. The Sacred Flame Sect would definitely think of a way to take revenge. Therefore, after receiving the news, they came here immediately. However, they did not expect to receive such an answer.
Chu Yun gazed in the direction of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance. He tapped his finger on the table and said slowly, "Lu Yiye escaped from the mine. He must not be in perfect condition. He must find a place to recover. The Heavenly Secret Business Alliance is a good choice."
Zhou Pei said, "Senior Brother, do you think that is Lu Yiye?"
"Most likely."
"But there is no trace of that little white beast."
"Some time ago, a new secret technique that can change the situation of the Beast Taming School appeared in the Heavenly Secret Treasury. There is also a new thing called the Spirit Beast Pouch. It seems to have come from a Sealed World. The function of the Spirit Beast Pouch is to store Monster Beasts."
This matter was not a secret. Nowadays, in the Nine Regions, as long as the cultivators of the Beast Taming School had enough merit points, they would buy that secret method from the Tianji Treasury. However, so far, no cultivator had been able to fully display that secret method.
Zhou Pei suddenly understood, "Senior Brother, do you think that Lu Yiye has a Spirit Beast Pouch?"
"Although Spirit Beast Pouches are rare and expensive, with Lu Yiye's status, he can still afford it. As for that huge bag … Junior Sister, don't forget that two thousand cultivators died in the mine. Before Lu Yiye left, he took all the storage pouches."
"Therefore, that bag contains a storage pouch!"
When Lu Yiye walked into the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance, he had indeed attracted a lot of attention. After all, all cultivators were equipped with storage pouches. Very few people walked around with bags of various sizes, let alone carrying a huge bag.
Therefore, even though he had only stayed on the first floor of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance for a short time, he had attracted a lot of attention.
In the beginning, no one thought too much about it. However, as time passed, some people gradually came to a realization.
Currently, Zhou Yun and the others were not the only ones secretly watching the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance. Even on the second floor of the restaurant, there were several pairs of eyes secretly observing the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance.
It was not that Lu Yiye did not expect that he would be exposed because of that huge bag. However, he had no other choice at that time unless he was willing to give up on the spoils of war.
If it were one or two hundred storage pouches, he would have given them up. However, Lu Yiye could not bear to give up on a few thousand storage pouches.
"We can basically confirm that it is Lu Yiye." Chu Yun concluded.
"Fighting is not allowed in the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance. If he hides inside, we can't do anything to him."
"He will come out eventually." As Chu Yun spoke, he looked around and happened to see a familiar face looking in his direction. Their eyes met and they nodded to each other. Everything was understood without words.
The current situation was that a large number of Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators were searching for Lu Ye's whereabouts. However, a small number of people had received some vague information and gathered at the Tianji City in the East 56. They were scattered all over the place, secretly watching the exit of the Tianji Business Alliance.
As a result, the cultivators who stayed in the city vaguely sensed something strange. In recent days, the number of experts in the city seemed to have increased.
In the guest room of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance, Lu Yiyi and Lu Ye worked together. One of them opened the restriction locks on the storage pouches while the other sorted out the contents of the storage pouches.
There were more than five thousand storage pouches. No matter how efficient Lu Yiye was at opening the restriction locks, it would take at least seven or eight days to complete.
This made the Myriad Devil Ridge experts who were secretly watching from outside feel helpless.
No one had seen with their own eyes whether Lu Yiye had entered the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance or not. It was just a suspicion. They had sent people into the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance to search, but they didn't find much.
Now that days had passed and there was still no sign of Lu Yiye, many people began to have doubts.
Could it be that Lu Yiye hadn't come here?
If he hadn't come, it would be a waste of time to continue waiting here. Even if he had come, who knew when he would come out?
The Tianji Business Alliance's lodging fee was not low, but Lu Yiye was a rich man after all. He could even afford to treat the Tianji Pillar, and he had done it twice. To him, the lodging fee was nothing more than a drop in the ocean.
If he had stayed in the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance for a year and a half, would they still have to wait for so long?
For a time, many people were irritated, but there was nothing they could do.
In the guest room, Lu Ye was still opening the restriction locks. After a lot of effort, the number of storage pouches piled up in front of him was finally reduced by half.
However, he didn't find anything special. Most of the cultivators' storage pouches contained some spirit pills, spirit stones, spirit weapons, and spirit talismans. Most of them were some random materials, such as collected ores, spirit flowers, and spirit herbs.
Although the items were complicated, it was indeed a considerable fortune when all of them were gathered together.
Lu Ye originally didn't have many spirit pills left, but now he had replenished them.
It was worth mentioning that they had collected quite a few Yao Cores from demonic beasts. These things were Hu Po's rations. Ever since he had eaten a Yao Core, Hu Po had lost interest in spirit pills. After all, consuming a Yao Core could help him grow faster.
The only good news for Lu Ye was that even if he kept opening the restriction locks, it didn't affect his cultivation.
The Gluttonous Meal continued to operate, and he threw a few spirit pills into his mouth from time to time. Although the spirit qi in the guest room was not as rich as in the spiritual land, it didn't affect his cultivation too much.
A few days ago, he had contacted Fourth Senior Brother and learned that everything in Huitian Valley was stable. Giant Armor had found the wolves and no one from the Myriad Devil Ridge dared to disturb them. They were all cultivating in peace.
This made Lu Ye feel a lot more at ease.
Although he had said that when he left Huitian Valley, it was still unknown whether or not it could deter the cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge. Especially after the battle in the mine, there might be people who were blinded by anger who would go to the spiritual land to cause trouble.
But now it seemed that his words were still very deterrent. Before he died, the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators would definitely not dare to have any ideas about returning to Huitian Valley's spiritual land.
As for when he killed Song Zhui, he said that he would return to the Spirit Stream battlefield and the Abyss Rainbow Hall's encampment … That was just a casual remark. Naturally, he wouldn't really do it.
The main reason was that Song Zhui's unyielding appearance was annoying. It was clearly the Myriad Devil Ridge who kept causing trouble. He had never taken the initiative to cause trouble and only wanted to cultivate peacefully in the spiritual land. But in the end, it was as if he was some kind of evil person who wouldn't shrink from any crime.
He had only said those words to frighten Song Zhui before he died …
That sentence was very effective. The unyielding Song Zhui died with grievances because of him. This was probably what it meant to kill and destroy the heart.
"Lu Ye, Lu Ye!" Yiyi suddenly shouted, interrupting the messy thoughts in Lu Ye's mind.
He looked up and saw that Yiyi was holding something in her hand. He said with some surprise, "Look at what this is."
Lu Ye focused his vision and was stunned.
A sound suddenly came from the storage bag in his hand that was opening the restriction lock. The entire storage bag exploded, turning into fragments all over the ground.
He was careless and didn't control his strength well, triggering the restriction lock in the restriction lock.
The storage bag exploded, and the things inside also turned to dust. Lu Ye didn't care, it was just a storage bag, nothing more.
He excitedly took the item from Yiyi's hand and asked, "Where did you find this?"
