He followed the woman all the way into the depths of the mountain. After about three hundred feet, there was no way out.
They should be in the belly of the mountain, so the space wasn't very spacious.
Although the light was dim, it didn't affect Lu Ye's vision.
After suddenly arriving at such a dangerous place, Lu Ye almost suspected that the mysterious woman had made a fake heavenly oath.
He originally thought that by following her, he would be able to enter a hidden place or find a place to hide, but now it seemed that wasn't the case at all.
There were already fluctuations of spirit power behind him, and there were also sounds of conversation. It was obvious that the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators had already caught up, but before they could confirm whether there was an ambush, they didn't dare to rashly enter.
However, they would definitely rush in. When that time came, Lu Ye would have no way out and his escape route would be blocked. He would undoubtedly die.
"Come here!" The mysterious woman in front saw Lu Ye in a daze and raised her hand to beckon him.
Although Lu Ye was suspicious, he still walked forward and stood not far from the woman.
"Come closer!" The mysterious woman was a little impatient. Lu Ye's vigilant attitude made her feel very uncomfortable.
In fact, this place wasn't very spacious, so Lu Ye couldn't get too close.
Hearing her words, Lu Ye simply walked to her side and stood still.
A delicate fragrance instantly lingered at the tip of his nose …
All of a sudden, the mysterious woman's spiritual energy surged. As her spiritual energy surged, the mysterious runes beneath their feet glowed brightly, illuminating the dark space.
Lu Ye stared at the complicated patterns under his feet in shock, then looked at the woman beside him in disbelief. However, the woman's face was covered by a mask, so Lu Ye couldn't see her expression at all.
Before he could ask anything, the space shrouded in light began to distort, and in the next moment, the two figures suddenly disappeared.
The commotion here alarmed the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators who had rushed over. After probing a little and confirming that there were no hidden traps or formations, the cultivators who had chased here all rushed in.
Soon, they reached the end of the three-hundred-meter-long passageway. However, it was empty inside. There was not a single person in sight.
"Where did they go?" Some people were puzzled. They had clearly seen Lu Ye and the mysterious woman walk in here, and there was no path ahead, so why did they disappear for no reason?
How could two living people just disappear for no reason?
"Teleportation Formation!" Someone squatted down and looked at the remnants of the formation on the ground, revealing its mysteries.
"I've long heard that Lu Yiye can set up Teleportation Formations. It seems like it's true!"
In such an environment where there was no way forward, it was impossible for two living people to disappear for no reason. However, if they borrowed the power of the teleportation formation, then it made sense.
But what made people puzzled was …
"Lu Yiye actually left a teleportation array here? When did he do it? " Ever since he left Tianji City, he had been on the run. Obviously, it was impossible for him to have left it behind this time. Therefore, it could only have been left behind by him in the past.
"No matter when he did it, his cultivation is not high now. Even if he left a Teleportation Formation behind, the distance he can teleport to can't be too far. Right now, he must be within three hundred miles!"
As a result, the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators who had rushed in quickly retreated, and news spread out. Many Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators were mobilized to search for Lu Ye within a radius of 150 kilometers.
At the same time, in another hidden place, Lu Ye's expression was complicated.
Those Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators thought that the teleportation formation in the belly of the mountain was left behind by him, but in reality, it was not.
This was also the reason why Lu Ye had been so shocked.
He had always thought that in the entire Nine States World, he was the only Cloud River Tier cultivator who could set up something like a teleportation formation.
Only today did he realize that he had been too arrogant.
In the Cloud River Tier, he was not the only one who could set up a teleportation formation. There were others!
The Nine States World was vast, and there were many capable people in the world. It looked like he was still sitting in a well, looking at the sky as if it were the vastness of the well.
Lu Ye did not feel the frustration of having his exclusive item shine in the hands of others. Instead, he was very excited. After relieving the discomfort caused by the teleportation formation, he hurriedly looked at the mysterious woman beside him. "Fellow cultivator, that teleportation formation —"
"I didn't set it up." The mysterious woman seemed to know what he wanted to ask, and she answered before he could finish his sentence.
"Then …"
"I don't know who set it up, either. You don't need to ask."
Lu Ye choked. This was the first time he had met such a woman.
Moreover, she did not know who set up the teleportation formation. What was she talking about? If she did not know, why would she bring him to that place and use the teleportation formation to escape?
Lu Ye subconsciously felt that this mysterious woman did not want to tell him too much.
This was very strange.
She had come out of her own accord to save him, and she had even exposed an extremely hidden location. However, her attitude toward him could not be considered warm. What was she planning?
Moreover, this mysterious woman gave Lu Ye a feeling of superiority. He could not help but feel that he was not facing a cultivator of the same generation as him. Instead, he felt as if he were facing a senior at the True Lake Tier or even the Spirit Sea Tier.
Lu Ye suppressed some of the doubts in his heart, and said, "Thank you for your help this time. May I ask for your name?"
"I was only following orders. You don't need to know my name," the mysterious woman said as she looked around.
By the looks of it, it seemed that she had also come to this place for the first time. This caused Lu Ye to vaguely believe her words.
However, the woman's words undoubtedly caused Lu Ye to be puzzled.
Following orders?
Whose order was it?
Since she had saved him, she must have thought highly of him or wanted to be on good terms with him. Why did she have to hide it like this? Not only did she not report her name, but she also covered her face. This caused Lu Ye to be confused and confused.
Although he did not need to repay the kindness of saving his life with his body, Lu Ye at least wanted to know who this kindness came from.
The woman had already turned and walked in a direction.
This was a cave. It was dark but not humid. The space was also much more spacious than the belly of the mountain. In the quiet environment, although the sound of footsteps was light, it was still clear and audible.
Lu Ye followed behind the woman. He had many questions to ask, but the other party's attitude was cold. Obviously, it was useless to ask.
Not long after, the two of them arrived at the bottom of the cave. The mysterious woman stood still and looked at Lu Ye. "It's time for you to return to the Nine States. Now, many people in the Myriad Devil Ridge are looking for you. Once you show yourself, you will be hunted down endlessly. So, returning to the Nine States is the safest."
Lu Ye naturally did not want to return to the Nine Regions. If he wanted to return, he would have done so long ago.
The mysterious woman did not know his methods and thought that he had been hunted to a dead end. In fact, although the situation was dangerous, it was still under control.
Moreover, at this place, even if he wanted to return to the Nine Regions, he could not.
But soon, Lu Ye's expression froze.
This was because not far in front of them, a Pillar of Heaven's Secrets stood quietly.
There was actually a Tianji Pillar here!
This was not the Tianji Business Alliance, nor was it a spiritual land. For a Tianji Pillar to be hidden in such a secluded place, it was obviously used to deal with dangerous situations, such as now.
First, there was a teleportation formation, then there was a Tianji Pillar. Lu Ye really wanted to know who was secretly helping him.
The mysterious woman said that she was following orders. Who was the mastermind behind this? What was their purpose? The locations of the teleportation formations had been exposed. Now, the Tianji Pillar was exposed in front of him. The other party had paid such a huge price but had no intention of revealing his identity.
What exactly were they plotting?
"Why are you in a daze?" The mysterious woman could not help but urge Lu Ye when she saw him standing there in a daze.
"No!"
"What?"
"I said I'm not going back to the Nine Regions."
A look of surprise flashed across the mysterious woman's eyes under the mask. She looked Lu Ye up and down and said patiently, "Maybe you don't understand your current situation, or maybe I didn't explain it clearly enough, but you only need to know one thing. If you continue to stay in the Cloud River Battlefield, it will be very dangerous."
"Of course I know."
[If you know, then why aren't you leaving!?] The woman could not help but curse in her heart. She completely lost her patience and said indifferently, "That's not up to you!"
Saying so, she raised her hand and grabbed at Lu Ye.
Looking at her posture, it seemed that she wanted to tie Lu Ye up and bring him back to the Nine Regions.
When this woman fought the Eighth and Ninth Order masters from Myriad Demon Ridge alone, Lu Ye knew that she was very strong, but to what extent, Lu Ye did not have a clear idea.
Until now!
When the small white hand reached out, Lu Ye had no time to react at all.
A clanging sound rang out as a fiery red sword light slashed out. Lu Ye instinctively slashed out.
This was purely the power of his Heart's Eye Secret Technique.
Facing this slash, the woman did not dare to take it head-on. The long sword in her other hand suddenly popped out and blocked the attack.
The sword and saber collided. A crisp sound rang out and sparks flew everywhere.
Lu Ye's figure fluttered back as an awkward expression appeared on his face. "Sorry, my body's instincts …" But then he thought about it and realized that something wasn't right. This woman had just sworn a Heavenly Secret Oath, saying that she had no malice towards him, so why was she attacking him now?
[What's going on!?]
"Don't hinder me from completing my mission!" The mysterious woman's aura became colder and colder with the sword in her hand, "I'll give you two choices. One is to obediently return to the Nine Regions, and the other is for me to knock you out and bring you back to the Nine Regions!"
Lu Ye stubbornly said, "Fellow Daoist, a forcibly picked melon is not sweet."
[What's wrong with this woman? Why does she want me to return to the Nine Regions? She just saved me, and now she wants to force me?]
However, the only thing Lu Ye could be sure of was that this woman had no malice towards him. After all, she had sworn a Heaven's Secret Oath. If she had any malice, she would definitely be punished by Heaven's Secret Oath.
