His current location was considered the periphery of the Immortal Essence City. If he wanted to go to the City Lord's Mansion, he would have to pass through half of the Immortal Essence City and reach the center of the city.
Even if Lu Ye controlled seven insects, this trip might not be safe.
So far, the strongest insect he had encountered was only at the True Lake Stage. However, he was not sure if there were any insects comparable to the Spirit Sea Stage here.
If there were, his concealment method might not work.
A team of seven True Lake Stage insects was still very powerful. Along the way, they killed wave after wave of insects. Lu Ye's battle merits kept increasing and soon broke through 20,000 points.
One must know that in the Tianji Treasure House, it only cost 16,200 points to exchange for a golden spirit lot. His current battle merits were enough to exchange for a golden spirit lot and he still had some left.
Such an environment, coupled with Lu Ye's current methods, was simply the best place to gain battle merits.
In the entire Nine Regions, there was probably no cultivator who had such convenience. Although he did not know how to leave this place, Lu Ye cherished this opportunity.
Not all of the insectoids they encountered were killed. Sometimes, there were too many of them, and Lu Ye didn't dare act rashly. He could only have his insectoid squads go around them. He hid himself and retracted his aura, so the insectoids couldn't sense anything amiss and didn't try to stop him.
When he passed through a street, Lu Ye suddenly found something strange.
The street was littered with many insect's broken limbs and minced meat. The ground was covered with green insect's blood. There were also traces of a battle around.
From these traces, it could be seen that this battle was very tragic because many insects died.
This made Lu Ye slightly stunned.
He was sure that he had not been here before, so the traces of battle here were not left by him.
Since it was not left by him, it should be left by the Immortal Essence Defenders.
There were Immortal Essence Defenders in the Immortal Essence City and many strange spiritual bodies. However, the strength of these spiritual bodies was very limited. Except for the Immortal Essence City's City Lord and the strange red-robed woman, the others were only at the Spirit Stream Stage.
In the face of such a catastrophe, the Spirit Stream Stage cultivation did not have much power to resist.
Therefore, until now, Lu Ye had not encountered a single Immortal Essence Guard. In his opinion, when this catastrophe arrived, all the Immortal Essence Guards in the Immortal Essence City would have been wiped out.
However, there was something strange about this battlefield.
Quite a number of insects had died on the battlefield, including some powerful ones. How could the Immortal Essence Defenders, who were only at the Spirit Stream Stage, kill these insects?
Could it be that the City Lord or the woman in red had done it? If the two of them had attacked, there might have been a chance. However, he couldn't sense their auras nearby, so they were most likely already dead.
Sitting on the spider's back and leading the insectoid squad through the battlefield, Lu Ye suddenly realized that something was wrong.
The insectoids would devour the corpses of their dead companions. These corpses were still there, and judging from the fresh blood and wounds on the corpses, this battle had not taken place too long ago.
In other words, not long ago, there were cultivators from the Immortal Essence City who fought with the Insect Clan here!
There were still people alive?
Lu Ye was surprised. Although he knew that this idea was a little too naive, it was not impossible. There were some special buildings in the Immortal Essence City with lanterns hanging at the door. As long as one hid in those buildings, no matter how powerful the insectoids were, they would not be able to break through.
Therefore, if there were still people from the Immortal Essence City who were lucky enough to survive, they would definitely be hiding in those special buildings!
The reason why the insectoid corpses on this battlefield had not been devoured was most likely because the nearby insectoids had been attracted away.
Lu Ye's thoughts gradually became clear, and he immediately led his insectoid squad to search around.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the insectoid squad came to a nearby street. This street was full of insectoids, as if something had attracted them here.
On the entire street, a building was particularly eye-catching because the nearby buildings had all been destroyed. Only this building stood proudly, like an indestructible rock in a raging sea.
In the ruins near this building, a large number of insectoids had gathered.
At the door of the building, there was a red lantern hanging!
Lu Ye looked at the building and could not confirm if there were people inside, but looking at the current situation, it was very likely that there were people inside.
These insectoids that had gathered here were all attracted by the people hiding inside, just like what happened to him previously!
If there were really people inside, then the other party's situation was not good. With so many insectoids gathered, there was no way they could leave for the time being.
However, he only needed to wait for a while, and most of the insectoids would disperse.
Time passed, and the insectoids with low intelligence began to disperse. However, there were still some that stayed, and there were still many of them. Many of them had extremely powerful auras, and were obviously True Lake Stage insectoids.
One hour passed, two hours passed, and everything was calm. Just when Lu Ye thought that he had guessed wrongly, the tightly shut door of the building suddenly opened, and a figure rushed out!
Lu Ye, who had been paying attention to the commotion, was stunned.
Because he actually knew the figure that suddenly rushed out!
The fat figure displayed an agile speed that did not match his size, and quickly rushed in front of an insectoid. The bone-paring knife in his hand slashed out a cold light, and the insectoid did not even have time to react before it was split into two.
The figure passed through the two halves of the corpse, and pounced on the next insectoid. He did not display a powerful aura, but it was wrapped in an indestructible aura. The bone-paring knife was extremely sharp, and the insectoid's carapace could not withstand it at all, and was easily split open.
So strong?
Lu Ye was dumbfounded.
After all, in his impression, this guy was just a Heaven Seven or Heaven Eight spirit body. However, the strength that the other party displayed was not just a Heaven Seven or Heaven Eight spirit body, it was a level that Lu Ye could not fathom.
What made Lu Ye even more surprised was that after the fat figure rushed out, more than ten figures rushed out from the building.
Although Lu Ye did not know these people, he was very familiar with their clothes.
Immortal Yuan Guards!
More than a dozen Immortal Essence Defenders followed closely behind the fat figure. They attacked together and began a massacre. For a time, blood flowed like a river in all directions. Many Insectoids were disturbed and surrounded them. In the blink of an eye, the area was completely surrounded.
Lu Ye was at a loss …
Strictly speaking, everything in front of him was completely different from what he knew.
The fat figure suddenly showed a level that far exceeded his cultivation level, which surprised him very much, but he did not expect the Immortal Yuan Guards to be the same.
The last time Lu Ye came here, the Immortal Yuan Guards he encountered were only ordinary Eighth and Ninth Order, and only the captain-level ones were Heaven Seven or Heaven Eight …
But now, looking at them, none of the Immortal Yuan Guards was weaker than the Spirit Stream Realm. Basically, they were all True Lake Realm, and a few were Cloud River Realm. Such a force could be said to be very powerful.
Lu Ye was puzzled for a moment. Was this Immortal Yuan City?
Or did he enter a fake Immortal Yuan City last time?
Although there were many doubts in his heart, Lu Ye still responded in time. He gave his insectoid squad the order to kill the enemy. In the next moment, except for the spider insectoid, the remaining six insectoids rushed over.
The spider insectoid was not sent to fight mainly because the situation was too chaotic. At this time, Lu Ye was likely to be exposed by the aftermath of the attack, and then he would be in trouble.
Although the overall strength of the Immortal Yuan Guards was strong, Lu Ye could see that all of them were injured, including the fat figure.
They should have experienced such a battle many times. Even without Lu Ye's secret help, they could deal with the situation in front of them, but they would inevitably consume more energy, and there might even be casualties.
But with Lu Ye's secret help, the situation was different.
The insectoids were not the least bit wary of their companions. At this moment, their attention was all on the Immortal Yuan Guards, so when the six insectoids attacked secretly, it was easy to kill many of their original companions.
At first, the Immortal Yuan Guards did not notice these abnormalities.
But as time passed, someone finally noticed, and an Immortal Yuan Guard whispered, "Sir!"
The fat man's boning knife slashed out rays of cold light, and he nodded imperceptibly. While killing the enemies, he secretly observed the surroundings.
After a while, his gaze suddenly looked at the spider insectoid outside the battlefield. Even though Lu Ye was hiding, he could feel the other party's gaze on him.
Four eyes met silently, and the man nodded slightly to Lu Ye, and continued to kill the enemies.
He was seen!
Ripples appeared in Lu Ye's heart.
His current state was special, equivalent to a True Lake Stage cultivator, and he also added concealment and aura concealment spiritual runes to himself. In such a state, even if the cultivation level was a few levels higher than him, it would be impossible to be discovered.
Unless … the other party's cultivation level was higher than his by a large realm!
In other words, the person he thought was only a Heaven Seven or Heaven Eight Stage cultivator was actually a Divine Sea Stage cultivator?
Thinking back to the various experiences he had when he first came to Immortal Yuan City, Lu Ye suddenly felt that it was too unreal, and for a moment, he could not tell whether this was a dream or reality.
However, if the other party was really a Divine Sea Stage cultivator, then his ferocity could be explained. In front of him, those True Lake Stage insectoids could not even withstand a single slash.
Under the cooperation of Lu Ye's insectoid squad and the Immortal Yuan Guards, the number of insectoids kept decreasing.
Until a certain moment, the last insectoid was killed.
The Immortal Yuan Guards all relaxed, and even the guy with the boning knife heaved a long sigh of relief.
Among the insectoid corpses on the ground, only the insectoid squad under Lu Ye's command was left. The Immortal Yuan Guards looked at the insectoids suspiciously and vigilantly, and for a moment, they could not understand what was going on with these guys. Just now, they were clearly sneak-attacking their companions.
