"Go inside and rest!" The cultivator with the boning knife ordered lightly. Although the Immortal Yuan Guardians were full of doubts, they all obeyed the order and returned to the building where they had been hiding.
Immediately, the cultivator raised his head and looked in the direction of Lu Ye. His sharp eyes were scrutinizing and suspicious.
Although he had noticed that Lu Ye was hiding nearby, he didn't know who he was. Moreover, there had never been a method to control insects in Immortal Yuan City.
However, he couldn't think too much during the battle. Now that the battle was over, he naturally had to figure it out.
Sensing the other party's gaze, Lu Ye took the initiative to reveal himself.
Even though the cultivator was calm and could remain calm in the face of death, he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Lu Ye, "Why are you here?"
Of course, he remembered Lu Ye.
One or two years ago, when the Sealed World of Immortal Yuan City opened, Lu Ye came in. At that time, he was transformed into a frustrated spirit by Hu Po and followed Lu Ye for a while.
At that time, Lu Ye was at the Eighth Order Spirit Stream Realm. Now, in his opinion, he was at the True Lake Realm. This kind of growth speed was simply shocking.
For a moment, he thought that his memory of time had some kind of illusion.
The cultivator's words made Lu Ye certain that the cultivator in front of him was the same person from last time.
At that time, Hu Po had transformed many frustrated spirits, but most of them were Immortal Yuan Guardians. There were only five special frustrated spirits. The first was Liu Sanbao, then the Pipa Woman, the Scholar, the Butcher, and the blind fortune teller.
These five special frustrated spirits all had their own unique skills. Whether it was cultivation or methods, they were much stronger than ordinary Immortal Yuan Guardians.
During the trip to the Sealed World of Immortal Yuan City, the Immortal Yuan Guardians under Lu Ye's command changed very quickly, but only these five special frustrated spirits followed him all the time.
Finally, when they met the City Lord of Immortal Yuan City, the connection between these frustrated spirits and Hu Po was cut off by the City Lord.
At that time, Lu Ye felt that it was a pity because except for a special environment like Immortal Yuan City, Hu Po had no other place to transform frustrated spirits.
After all, other than Yiyi, Lu Ye had never seen any other spirit bodies in the outside world.
This guy who was suspected to be at the Divine Sea Realm was one of the five special frustrated spirits, the Butcher!
"Senior, long time no see." Lu Ye cupped his fists in greeting. He didn't know what this person's name was, but with this person's cultivation, it wasn't a problem to call him senior.
The man and the spirit were both filled with doubts.
How could Lu Ye appear here? And how could he control the insectoids?
One of them was confused. He was just at the Spirit Stream Tier, so how did he suddenly become at the Spiritual Sea Tier?
However, this street was clearly not the place to talk. Butcher waved his hand. "Come in and talk!"
Lu Ye nodded and moved forward in a flash, entering the building ahead with him. As for the insectoid squad under his command, there was no need to worry about them. It would be fine even if they stayed outside.
Inside the house, more than a dozen Immortal Essence Guards were adjusting their breathing. The great battle just now made them look very tired. Some of their bodies seemed to have become less solid.
This was clearly a sign of excessive exhaustion. A spirit body was not a physical body, and it existed between reality and illusion. If one consumed too much energy, such signs would appear. In more serious cases, one might even become transparent and dissipate.
Lu Ye's current state was similar to a spirit body, but it was different from a pure spirit body. He still retained the ability to swallow spirit pills to replenish his spiritual power.
The Immortal Essence Guards didn't have this ability, so even if they rested here, if there was no way to replenish the consumed Divine Soul Power, it would be useless no matter how long they rested. At most, they could only reduce the mental fatigue.
"Sir, this is …"
When Lu Ye walked in with Butcher, more than a dozen Immortal Essence Guards were surprised.
The Immortal Essence City was very big, and there were many Immortal Essence Guards. However, after so many years of living together, almost every Immortal Essence Guard knew what kind of people were in the Immortal Essence City and what those people looked like.
The sudden appearance of an unfamiliar face naturally made people feel surprised.
Butcher didn't mean to explain. He just said, "Have a good rest. There's still a battle to come!"
Then he led Lu Ye straight to the second floor.
When Lu Ye's figure disappeared from sight, one of the Immortal Essence Guards seemed to have woken up from a dream. He said in a low voice, "I remember now. I was killed by this guy last time." He was talking about the incident when Lu Ye entered the Immortal Essence City.
If Lu Ye was here, he would probably be puzzled. If he was killed, how could he still be standing here?
An Immortal Essence Guard reacted. "So, he's an outsider?"
"The secret realm is open? That's not right. Every time the secret realm opens, there are signs. It's not the time for the secret realm to open. Besides, the secret realm can't be opened when the Zergs are attacking the city. How did he come in? "
"Compared to this, I'm more concerned about some abnormalities in the battle just now. Those Zergs were actually hunting their own companions, as if they were being driven by someone. Sir didn't let us kill those Zergs. It seems that the one secretly driving those Zergs is this guy!"
"How can there be such a method in this world? Didn't they say that the Zergs can't be driven? "
"Who knows? Maybe in this era, someone has already developed a way to drive the Zergs."
…
The group of Immortal Essence Guardians chatted with each other in full swing.
This was not the same as Lu Ye's impression of the Immortal Essence Guards.
In his impression, the Immortal Essence Guards were basically spirit bodies with very low intelligence. Even the captain-level ones had very rigid behavior. That was why he had a deep impression of the Butcher and other special spirit bodies. It was because these spirit bodies' behavior was no different from a living person's.
But now, it seemed that the Immortal Essence Guardians were no different from living people, except that their bodies were spiritual and were different from living people.
The entire Immortal Essence City seemed to be shrouded in a thick fog.
On the second floor, the Butcher led Lu Ye here and let him sit down. He went to the window and quietly observed for a while before turning around and walking back.
Frowning at Lu Ye, the Butcher asked, "Are you dead?"
Lu Ye didn't expect the Butcher to make him roll his eyes. He immediately shook his head and denied, "No."
"Then how did you come in? This isn't the time for the secret realm to open. "
Only when the secret realm opened would there be many living people in the Immortal Essence City, just like last time. But when the secret realm closed, those living people would be expelled.
For countless years, the Immortal Essence City had always been like this. There was almost never a situation where an outsider appeared when the secret realm was not open.
Lu Ye said, "I came in with the help of the Breath Fruit Core."
"Breath Fruit Core?" The Butcher frowned. Obviously, he had never heard of such a thing.
Lu Ye was about to take out the Breath Fruit Core to show it to him when he remembered that he had entered in the form of a spirit. Although he had brought everything in his storage bag and storage space, he couldn't bring it in as the key to open the Mirage Realm.
At that moment, he described the appearance of the Breath Fruit Core to the Butcher and introduced its magical uses.
The Butcher vaguely understood what Lu Ye was talking about. But what he couldn't understand was how that thing could let a living person enter the Immortal Essence City in the form of a spirit. But on second thought, he vaguely had an insight.
If that was the case, it was not impossible. After all, it was high and mighty.
But if that was the case, then this kid in front of him was somewhat unusual. After all, ordinary people were not qualified to be treated like this.
"What's your name?" The Butcher asked.
"I'm a disciple of the Jade Blood Sect, Lu Ye," Lu Ye replied. "Senior, how should I address you?"
"Didn't you call me the Butcher? Just call me that. "
The last time Lu Ye came here, he had called him that. Of course, he remembered.
Lu Ye haoran …
The Butcher didn't care. "I'm the Butcher of the Immortal Essence City. You're right to call me that …" At this point, he seemed to have thought of something and reminded Lu Ye, "But if you see that woman, don't call her Yingying Monster. If she hears it, she will not like it. Then you will suffer."
Lu Ye sweated …
The Yingying Monster was the pipa woman. Her sound attack was very powerful. It could disturb people's minds and confuse their minds. Back then, among the five special sad spirits, the Yingying Monster pipa woman played the strongest role. Whether it was facing the cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge or the Immortal Essence Guards, the pipa sound and the Yingying sound together weakened the enemy's combat power by at least 30%.
"Her name is Xi Wanying."
"Junior will remember it." Lu Ye nodded seriously and secretly warned himself. The Yingying Monster was Xi Wanying, and Xi Wanying was the Yingying Monster!
But it was useless to remember it. He had called her that last time. If that woman was really a vengeful person, he would be taught a lesson when they met this time.
Lu Ye said nervously, "Senior, that Senior Xi's cultivation compared to yours …"
"Higher than mine!" The Butcher's words shattered Lu Ye's fantasy.
He could only secretly pray that he wouldn't meet her this time.
"Senior, what's up with your cultivation? When I saw you last time, weren't you only at the Spirit Stream Realm? " Lu Ye asked the question in his heart. "Also, what's up with this Immortal Essence City? Why did I suddenly come here?"
Butcher said, "When it comes to cultivation, what you see might not be real. Last time, when the mystic realm opened, us old farts played a game with you little fellows. The level of cultivation we displayed was directly determined by the strength of your cultivation."
"Game?" Lu Ye didn't understand.
"It's just a decoration in the endless years. You can understand it as a game to help us maintain our humanity. You don't need to understand anything else."
Lu Ye nodded in confusion, but he understood the meaning of the Butcher's words. When the secret realm opened in Immortal Essence City, the cultivators who came in were generally at the eighth or ninth layer of the Spirit Stream Realm. So, the cultivation level that the Butcher and the others showed was also at that level. Although it was slightly higher, it wasn't much higher.
"As for Immortal Essence City and why you came here … If you have the chance to see the City Lord, go ask him. If he's willing to tell you, he'll naturally tell you."
