Inside the small cave, the corpses of the two pursuers lay on the ground, filling the air with a strong smell of blood.
Ye Liu Li stared at her Sixth Brother's figure in shock. His familiar silhouette gave her a strange feeling. This feeling made her a little flustered, but she didn't know what was going on.
Just as she was lost in her thoughts, Lu Ye's figure suddenly staggered, his long saber stabbing into the ground to prevent him from falling.
After arriving here through the hidden Transmission Array outside the Hundred Formation Tower, his Spirit Qi had been depleted, but this wasn't a big deal as he still had the energy stored in his Storage Ring.
However, the weakness of his body couldn't be resolved in a short time.
He had been lying there motionless before to restore his strength as much as possible, but at the same time, to show weakness to his enemies.
After successfully killing the two pursuers, the little bit of strength he had recovered with great difficulty was almost exhausted.
"Sixth Brother!" Ye Liu Li hurriedly stepped forward and supported Lu Ye.
Lu Ye shook his head, motioning her not to make a sound.
"Brother Liu, Brother Zhao?" The shout of the pursuers came from outside.
There were a total of five people chasing after them. Two people had entered the cave while the other three stood guard outside, preventing Lu Ye and Ye Liuli from escaping. This was undoubtedly a very safe arrangement. But what the three people guarding outside never expected was that their two companions who had charged into the cave would actually meet with misfortune in such a short period of time.
How could such a thing happen?
Although the cultivation of the two Ye Family brats wasn't weak, they were both injured and running for their lives these past few days must have consumed a lot of their strength. How much strength could they possibly display?
Moreover, even if they were unharmed, it was impossible for them to kill their two companions in such a short time.
One of them was a Seventh Order Body Cultivator! How could they be so easy to kill?
For a moment, the three men guarding the cave entrance even thought that there was some other Master hiding in the cave.
The death of their two companions made them vigilant, and no one dared to rashly enter the cave. Just as they were at their wits' end, a sudden movement came from the side.
"Who is it?" One of them shouted angrily. He turned around and saw a snow-white little beast strolling out from behind a tree. That little beast looked like a tiger cub that hadn't grown up yet. On its forehead, there was a small 'King' character that made people want to dote on it.
If they encountered such a strange beast under normal circumstances, the three of them would definitely think of a way to capture it. Although this little beast was small, the aura emitted from its body was not weak. If they could capture it and sell it, it would definitely be a considerable income.
But at this moment, their main goal was to chase after Lu Ye and Ye Liuli. Two of their companions had already died. At such a critical moment, how could they be willing to cause more trouble?
Therefore, one of them immediately shouted at the snow-white little beast, "Get lost!"
At the same time, he activated his aura in an attempt to scare the other party away.
However, what made him stunned was that not only did the snow-white little beast not retreat, it instead opened its mouth and roared at him.
"Ahhh …"
"Little evil beast …" The man cursed, but in the next moment, his expression changed drastically. He sensed a fierce Spirit Qi fluctuation coming from behind him. Hurriedly turning his head, he saw an arc of light appear in front of him, cutting through the void and emitting a sizzling sound.
In that direction, the figure of a young girl had appeared at some point. The girl didn't look very old, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was petite, but the aura coming from her body was actually at the Sixth Order Cloud River Realm.
[Moreover, she's a Magic Cultivator!]
[Where did she come from?]
The three of them hurriedly tried to defend themselves, but the Spirit Qi she used was endless and the speed at which she switched between them was extremely fast. For a time, the three of them were overwhelmed.
The three of them were greatly shaken. There was also a Magic Cultivator among them, but regardless of his cultivation, his casting speed couldn't be compared to this girl who had suddenly appeared.
After finally stabilizing their footing, one of the Weapon Cultivators was about to rush out and counterattack, but at that moment, a fishy wind blew behind him, causing him to feel a great sense of alarm.
Turning his head, he saw a huge tiger head appear in front of him, its mouth wide open, its sharp fangs gleaming with a cold light.
"Ah!" The Weapon Cultivator was shocked, never having expected that the cute little snow-white critter from before would undergo such a drastic change.
Hurriedly turning around, he threw the Spirit Artifact in his hand towards the huge tiger head.
* Keng … * A loud sound rang out, but the powerful blow failed to even break through the Monster Qi barrier around the tiger head. Instead, the Weapon Cultivator felt a sharp pain in his arm as it was bitten off.
At that moment, two more figures rushed out of the cave, Lu Ye and Ye Liuli.
Yi Yi and Hu Po had been searching for Lu Ye nearby, and although Ye Liuli had provided them with the terrain and some nearby features, it was still not easy to find him.
However, the battle just now had caused some commotion, allowing Yi Yi to lock onto Lu Ye's position and hurriedly rush over with Hu Po to provide support.
They had come at the right time, otherwise, if these three people had rushed into the cave recklessly, with Lu Ye and Ye Liuli's current state, they really wouldn't have been able to resist.
Just now, he had attacked violently and killed the two cultivators chasing after him, which was already his limit.
The battle outside the cave broke out in a hurry and ended quickly. Yi Yi and Hu Po's cooperation was flawless, and with the addition of Lu Ye and Ye Liuli, the battle immediately turned into a one-sided situation.
In just a dozen breaths, there were three more corpses on the ground.
Lu Ye gasped for breath, his face pale.
Hu Po was licking a wound on his paw. The wound was very small, and only a little bit of blood flowed out.
Since following Lu Ye until now, Hu Po had actually rarely participated in battles. Most of the time, he would crouch on Lu Ye's shoulder, letting him borrow strength.
It wasn't that he didn't want to participate in battles, but the enemies Lu Ye encountered were mostly several levels higher than him. In such battles, Hu Po couldn't play a big role, so it was better to let Lu Ye borrow strength.
However, this didn't mean that Hu Po had no fighting strength.
Following Lu Ye, Hu Po relied on the Qi and blood in the dragon scales to nourish his body all year round, so his physique was also extremely strong. Usually, he looked like a cute little critter, but when he revealed his true form, he was a ferocious beast.
Hu Po was the White Tiger, one of the four Sacred Beasts that focused on killing!
Yiyi and Ye Liuli looked at each other. The two girls looked about the same age, and even their figures were somewhat similar. They were both petite, so if they stood together, people who didn't know them would probably think that they were sisters.
The two girls' eyes reflected each other's figures, and the same thought appeared in their minds at the same time, "Who is this guy?"
The atmosphere was inexplicably subtle, and even Hu Po felt it, licking his paw even more seriously.
"Collect their things and leave this place first," Lu Ye said.
Yiyi and Ye Liuli moved at the same time. One was responsible for collecting the three people outside, while the other rushed back into the cave to collect the two people inside.
Not long after, a snow-white figure shuttled through the forest. Lu Ye sat on the tiger's back, and in front of him was Ye Liuli.
Yiyi's cheeks puffed up as she flew to the side. The little girl's lungs were about to explode from anger.
That's my position!
She glanced at Ye Liuli from time to time, then quickly averted her gaze. If it weren't for the fact that she didn't want to expose the secret of her spiritual body, she would've hidden back into Hu Po's body. Out of sight, out of mind.
"Sixth Brother, what's up with this strange beast and this big sister?" She could tell that Lu Ye was very familiar with the girl who'd suddenly appeared. Even the White Tiger was very close to Lu Ye.
But as far as she knew, her Sixth Brother had never had such a friend.
However, she could sense that the girl seemed to have some inexplicable hostility towards her …
"He's a friend I made during my travels here," Lu Ye explained.
I'm an outsider now!
Yiyi felt wronged.
But for better or for worse, she'd explored the Realm of Beasts' secret realm with Lu Ye. She knew that Lu Ye had a natural identity in a secret realm with a great world as its backdrop.
Although she didn't know what Lu Ye's identity here was, it seemed that he had a close relationship with the girl.
It couldn't be that kind of relationship, right? Yiyi couldn't help but let her imagination run wild.
The atmosphere fell silent, and Ye Liuli didn't ask any more questions. Lu Ye seized the time to recover, while Yiyi sullenly flew away.
Hu Po ran even faster … I'm a tiger, so what does it have to do with me?
He didn't know how many people were chasing after Lu Ye and Ye Liuli, but it couldn't be too many since they were already in bad shape.
Moreover, this kind of pursuit was nothing compared to what Lu Ye had encountered in the Cloudriver Battlefield.
So the situation wasn't that bad.
More than two hours later, in a hidden valley, Hu Po came to a stop. Lu Ye jumped down and found a place to set up a few simple Spirit Arrays to conceal everyone's location.
Although he was an arrow at the end of its flight, the trip to the Hundred Formation Pagoda had greatly increased his cultivation of formations. Even if he'd only casually set them up, the formations he'd set up weren't something ordinary cultivators could see through.
This way, he had time to catch his breath.
As long as he could recover fully, he'd be completely free of danger. As for what to do next, he didn't have a clue for now. He could only take it one step at a time.
After exhorting Yiyi and Ye Liuli, Lu Ye walked to the side and sat down cross-legged.
Hu Po returned to his little beast form and lay down to nap.
Ye Liuli was also recovering, but her condition was much better than Lu Ye's, so she woke up before him.
She looked at Yiyi, who was on guard, thought for a moment, then walked to Yiyi's side and sat down.
Yiyi looked at her blankly.
The grievance in the little girl's heart hadn't dissipated, so she wasn't in the mood to talk to Ye Liuli.
Moreover, she'd been traveling extensively with Lu Ye, so although she looked similar to Ye Liuli in terms of age and figure, she was much more mature than Ye Liuli in terms of mentality.
She could tell at a glance that Ye Liuli was a pampered little girl who hadn't experienced much hardship.
"Sister-in-law?" Ye Liuli called out tentatively.
"Wh … what?" Yiyi's calm expression suddenly became flustered, almost suspecting that she'd misheard. (To be continued)
