As night fell, Lu Ye wore his mask and walked out of the guest room. He went to the first floor and headed straight for the Tianji Hall where the Tianji Pillars were.
Every Tianji Business Alliance had its own Tianji Pillars. These Tianji Pillars were used for positioning.
Cultivators could use these Tianji Pillars to travel to and from the Cloudy River Battlefield. When cultivators from the Nine States entered the Cloudy River Battlefield, they could choose these Tianji Pillars and enter the Tianji Business Alliance. Cultivators from the Cloudy River Battlefield could use these Tianji Pillars to leave and return to the Nine States.
Hence, the Tianji Business Alliance in the Cloudy River Battlefield was bustling with activity at all times.
The Tianji Pillars had four sides, which corresponded to four directions. One of the directions was distorted from time to time. Every time this happened, cultivators from all over the Nine States would appear out of thin air.
In the other direction, there was a line that was not too long. These were cultivators who wanted to leave the Cloudy River Battlefield. They came to the Tianji Pillar and pressed their hands on it, instantly disappearing. There were not many people in this line. After all, the process of leaving the Cloudy River Battlefield was not complicated. It could even be said that it was very fast. Most of the time, this direction was empty. There was no need to line up.
The remaining two directions had more people lined up. They were all here to borrow the Tianji Pillars and enter the Tianji Treasure House to do business.
After Lu Ye arrived, he found a place to stand and waited slowly.
There were not many people in front of him, only a dozen. Furthermore, the cultivators who came here had basically confirmed what they wanted to buy or sell. Hence, the efficiency was very high. It was very rare for a cultivator to occupy a spot for a long time.
The cultivators in front of him kept leaving. Lu Ye followed the flow of people and walked forward slowly.
Suddenly, a figure came to his side and stared at him.
Lu Ye turned and saw a young male cultivator. There was a look of scrutiny in his eyes. He slowly said, "Fellow cultivator, I think you look like someone."
Lu Ye's voice was hoarse. "Like who?"
Although he did not learn how to change his voice, as a Cloudy River Tier cultivator, he could still use this little trick casually.
"Fellow cultivator, why ask when you already know the answer?" The young man shook his head. "If you don't mind …"
"I mind!"
The young man was instantly speechless. In the end, he could only shake his head. "You can't avoid it unless you leave the Cloudy River Battlefield!"
After saying this, the young man directly left.
Even though he felt that the cultivator wearing the mask was Lu Yiye, he didn't dare to do anything in the Tian Ji Business Union. He could only give him a warning.
After the young man left, a few more groups of cultivators walked by, intentionally or unintentionally. Lu Ye could clearly feel that these people were secretly observing him.
He pretended that he didn't see anything. After all, he wouldn't be leaving the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance for a while. If these people had the ability, they could just continue to block him outside.
If he wanted to leave one day, those people might not be able to stop him.
The cultivators in front left one by one, and it didn't take long for it to be Lu Ye's turn.
Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed it against the Pillar of Divine Secrets in front of him. He closed his eyes and focused, but he did not immediately immerse his mind.
Three breaths later, a low shout suddenly sounded, "Do it!"
As soon as these words fell, powerful Spiritual Qi suddenly erupted, and three fierce murderous auras enveloped Lu Ye from three different directions. In a flash of cold light, the three figures rushed to within five meters of Lu Ye.
This sudden turn of events caused the expressions of all the cultivators in the Tian Ji Hall to change drastically.
Many cultivators had entered and exited the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance countless times, but they had never encountered such a situation because almost all cultivators knew that the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance was an absolutely safe place.
There were also some terrifying rumours about fights in the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance in the Nine States, but rumours were only rumours. No one knew what the consequences of fighting in the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance were.
It was said that the last time such a thing happened was more than a decade ago.
The passage of time had undoubtedly worn away the deterrence of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance, and with the huge bounty on Lu Ye's head, some Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators couldn't resist the temptation.
The ones who attacked were three Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivators. It was unknown which Sect they came from, but before they attacked, they had already investigated. Although there were Ninth Order Masters in the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance, as long as they were fast enough, they wouldn't be trapped here after killing Lu Ye. They were confident that they could escape this place.
Compared to the gains, what was a little risk?
Spirit Qi surged, and many cultivators in the Tian Ji Hall hurriedly moved out of the way. For a moment, the scene was chaotic.
Lu Ye, who had raised his hand and pressed it against the Heavenly Secret Pillar, instantly felt a great sense of crisis. With his current strength, it was already difficult for him to deal with a single Ninth Order cultivator, let alone three.
He only rejoiced that he had held back and didn't immerse his mind into the Heavenly Secret Treasure Trove immediately. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to react to such an attack.
Hurriedly urging his Spirit Qi, Lu Ye condensed a series of Spirit Inscriptions in front of him, wrapping himself up with almost no gaps. At the same time, his figure flickered as he rushed straight towards the crowd.
He didn't need to fight with the three Ninth Order cultivators. No matter what, this was the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance. He only needed to delay for a moment, and the Masters of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance would act.
But whether it was him or the three Ninth Order cultivators who attacked, they had seriously underestimated the reaction speed of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance.
In other words, when Lu Ye left his room and arrived on the first floor, the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance had already been paying close attention to him.
"Audacious!"
An angry roar rang out as another cultivator rushed out from somewhere in the crowd. When this cultivator rushed out, the Spirit Qi fluctuations on his body were that of a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator.
But in the blink of an eye, his aura had broken through the limit of the Cloud River Realm, reaching an unfathomable level.
"True Lake Realm!" Someone exclaimed in shock, and even more people's eyes trembled.
It turned out … the rumors were true.
The people of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance had a way to break through the shackles of the Heavenly Secret in a short time in the Cloud River Battlefield, reaching a height that ordinary cultivators couldn't reach.
Many people had heard of this rumor, but no one knew whether it was true or not, because no one had ever verified it.
Until now, when they saw it with their own eyes.
The Heavenly Secret Business Alliance was a very thought-provoking organization, which could be seen from its name alone.
In the cultivation world of the Nine Provinces, anything related to the word 'Heavenly Secret' couldn't be taken lightly. For a long time, the cultivators of the Nine Provinces suspected that the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance had some special relationship with the high and unfathomable Heavenly Secret.
This was because the goods of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance could often be exchanged with the goods of the Heavenly Secret Treasury.
There was once someone who sold something to the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance, but in the end, they found the thing that had been sold in the Heavenly Secret Treasury.
Moreover, the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance had never participated in the conflict between the two factions, giving the world the impression that it was a neutral organization that did business.
But no one had ever underestimated it, and no one knew how strong the heritage of the Heavenly Secret Business Alliance was.
The aura of the True Lake Realm continued to rise until it reached a peak, and all the cultivators in the Heavenly Secret Hall felt their bodies grow heavy under the terrifying pressure, and their breathing became difficult.
It was as if someone had cast a spell on them, and the three Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators who launched the surprise attack, Lu Ye who was fleeing, and the many cultivators who were in chaos all froze in place.
Immediately after, there was a popping sound, and a strong smell of blood spread out, and vitality quickly withered …
As if it was just an illusion, the pressure that made it difficult to move suddenly disappeared, and when the cultivators looked around, they all felt their hair stand on end.
This was because there were three more corpses in the Heavenly Secret Hall, and they were the three Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators who launched the surprise attack on Lu Ye.
No one knew how they died, and when they came back to their senses, they were already dead.
In front of the three corpses, the middle-aged cultivator stood quietly, and his expression was dignified. The aura on his body was still that of a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator.
But at this moment, who would think that he was just a Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator?
This person was clearly a True Lake Realm cultivator, and not just any True Lake Realm cultivator, but one who had reached the peak of the True Lake Realm.
In the Spirit Stream Battlefield, cultivators above the Spirit Stream Realm could still force their way in by spending merit points.
But in the Cloud River Battlefield, it was impossible. Only Cloud River Realm cultivators could enter the Cloud River Battlefield. This was a rule set by the Heavenly Secret Hall, and no one could break it.
But now, it seemed that this was not the case.
At the very least, the people of the Heavenly Secret Merchant Union could break this rule, and they could even break through the restrictions on cultivation in the Cloud River Battlefield in a short time …
But this was not the only thing that shocked everyone. More importantly, the three Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators had been killed like three ants, and no one had seen them clearly. They had been killed by the Heavenly Secret Merchant Union, who had always been neutral!
Under everyone's gaze, the middle-aged cultivator slowly said, "Duan Hua and Xue Feihan of the Heartless Pavilion, and Luo Huai An of the Divine Will Sect, these three people attacked people in the Merchant Union, breaking the rules of our Merchant Union. They were killed on the spot as a warning to others! In addition, the Merchant Union will not make any transactions with cultivators from the Heartless Pavilion and Divine Will Sect for the next three years. "
As soon as he said this, many cultivators went into an uproar.
Three Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators were killed, and it was normal for cultivators to die. Not long ago, 20 million Devil Ridge cultivators had died in a mine.
But what shocked many cultivators was that this person from the Heavenly Secret Merchant Union was actually able to identify the Sect that the three cultivators came from, and even their names.
This was not just a matter of intelligence, but also a matter of precaution. Perhaps when the three cultivators were about to attack, the people from the Heavenly Secret Merchant Union had already noticed and were waiting for them to strike. Otherwise, even if the three cultivators were able to display their true strength, they would not have reacted so quickly.
The attitude of the Heavenly Secret Merchant Union this time was undoubtedly very decisive, and they did not show any mercy. For the next three years, the Heavenly Secret Merchant Union would not make any transactions with cultivators from the two Sects.
Compared to the death of the three Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators, this decision was undoubtedly a greater loss to the two Sects.
