Under the hazy sunlight, two figures could be seen flying close to the ground. It was Lu Ye and Ying Wuji.
However, from the way the two of them acted, Ying Wuji had always maintained a certain level of vigilance towards Lu Ye.
The human heart was complicated, and Ying Wuji could not guarantee that Lu Yiye would not try to kill him. Even though he had never shown such intentions, he had to be on guard.
A person like him would never put his fate in the hands of others, especially when he and Lu Ye belonged to different factions.
A short cooperation was fine, but how could true trust be built so easily?
Lu Ye sensed this but did not care at all. He flew on his magic tool while carving a crystal in his hand.
After dealing with the zombie horde yesterday, he and Ying Wuji set off together.
But so far, they had not found a single living person. This situation could only mean one thing.
Either there were no living people left on this broken Peerless Continent, or the living people were hidden in extremely hidden places. Lu Ye was more inclined to the latter possibility.
Such a large continent, even if it was broken for some unknown reason, it should not be without a single living person.
So the most important thing now was to find the native cultivators of the Peerless Continent and find a way to gather more information. In addition, they had to find the cultivators who came to the Nine States with them and meet up with them.
Heaven's Secret had chosen them and spent a lot of effort to send them here, implying that they wanted them to work together. So, any one of the nine people was an indispensable force.
The journey was undoubtedly boring, and Ying Wuji's mood was somewhat depressed.
As a ghost cultivator, he was not used to traveling with others. He was mostly alone, especially when traveling with someone like Lu Ye, so he subconsciously felt some pressure.
Along the way, he tried to talk to Lu Ye, but unfortunately, he did not get any response. After a few attempts, he gave up.
He never knew that Lu Yiye was such a taciturn person …
Suddenly, Ying Wuji's eyes lit up. He focused and said excitedly, "Lu Yiye, there seems to be a city up ahead!"
Lu Ye looked up and saw the outline of a city appear in his field of vision. The city wasn't large, but it was the only place they had discovered that had any possibility of living people living in it.
The further they went, the clearer the outline of the city became.
But gradually, the excitement and anticipation on Ying Wu Ji's face disappeared.
This was because the city looked extremely dilapidated, as if no one had lived in it for a very long time. Moreover, there were faint traces of a great battle around the city walls, and there were many places where there were bloodstains that had long since faded.
The possibility of anyone surviving in such a city was close to none.
About 30 kilometers away from the city, Lu Ye suddenly landed.
Ying Wu Ji was stunned for a moment, but he quickly followed him down and asked curiously, "Aren't we going to take a look?"
It was rare to find such a city. Regardless of whether there were people or not, they should go and take a look. Maybe they could find some useful clues.
"It might be dangerous." Lu Ye gave him a rare reply, then threw the crystal in his hand to him.
Ying Wu Ji raised his hand and grabbed it. He asked curiously, "What is this?"
Along the way, he saw Lu Ye carving these crystal stones. He had asked before, but unfortunately, he didn't get a response. He never thought that Lu Ye would actually give him one at this time.
"Sound Transmission Stone!" Lu Ye casually explained, and another similar crystal stone appeared in his hand. "Take it and you can communicate with me at any time. However, there are some restrictions on the distance. It can only be used within 3,000 kilometers. Beyond that, it won't be effective."
This thing didn't exist in the Nine States.
The cultivators of the Nine States all had battlefield imprints. As long as they were in the same world, they could communicate with each other at any time. There was no need for a Sound Transmission Stone.
Lu Ye was able to make this thing thanks to his trip to the Dragon Soaring Realm.
In the Dragon Soaring Realm, the cultivators used Sound Transmission Stones to communicate with each other.
At that time, he was curious, so he asked Huang Liang for a piece to study. He found that this thing wasn't complicated to make. The main thing was that there was a Sound Transmission Spirit Pattern in it.
On Lu Ye's Talent Tree, there was a Sound Transmission Spirit Pattern. However, this spirit pattern didn't have much use, so he had never used it.
The Sound Transmission Spirit Pattern and the Sound Transmission Spirit Pattern were 80% similar. Lu Ye studied it a little and thoroughly studied the Sound Transmission Spirit Pattern.
Considering that he might need something like the Sound Transmission Stone in the future, he bought some materials suitable for making the Sound Transmission Stone when he was shopping in the Tianji Treasure Vault.
It was just right to use it now.
In this broken Wushuang Continent, the battlefield imprints didn't respond at all. In other words, they had completely lost contact with the Tianji of the Nine States. If they wanted to contact each other, the Sound Transmission Stone was the only choice.
It was just that he hadn't expected this situation earlier. If he had, he would have left a piece for Hua Ci and Giant Armor before the teleportation array was activated. It would be easy to find them now.
Ying Wuji's eyes lit up. "Good stuff!"
He played with the Sound Transmission Stone.
Although it was his first time coming into contact with it, he was a Cloud River Tier earth cultivator after all. He was talented, so he only needed to try it a little and understood how to use it.
He channeled his spiritual power into it and casually said a few words to the Sound Transmission Stone.
The Sound Transmission Stone in Lu Ye's hand immediately reacted. After he activated it with his spiritual power, Ying Wuji's words were transmitted from the Sound Transmission Stone.
"Interesting." Ying Wuji grinned.
But as he grinned, he couldn't smile anymore, because Lu Ye was staring at him.
Ying Wuji's heart sank as he vaguely realized something. "What do you mean? You can't be thinking of … "
"You're a Ghost Cultivator!"
Ying Wuji was annoyed …
He had just asked Lu Ye if he wanted to investigate the city. Lu Ye had said that it might be dangerous, and then tossed him a Sound Transmission Stone.
Now that he was staring at him like this, his meaning was obvious.
He clearly wanted to investigate the situation!
But as a Ghost Cultivator, he was responsible for this.
Ying Wuji's eyes twitched a few times as he secretly assessed the difference in strength between himself and Lu Ye. In the end, he decided to agree to this.
His fist wasn't as big as Lu Ye's, but there was nothing he could do about it.
"If something happens to me …" Ying Wuji looked like he wanted to say a few last words.
Lu Ye interrupted him. "Don't worry. If the situation is bad, you only need to shout, 'Jade Blood Dries the Ancient,' and I will immediately charge over to save you!"
Ying Wuji's eyes twitched even more. "Are you serious?"
Lu Ye nodded solemnly. "Trust me!"
Ying Wuji took a deep breath.
'Do I dare not trust you?
Can I not trust you? '
With complicated emotions, Ying Wuji activated his concealment technique and silently approached the ruined city.
After he left, Hu Po, who had been crouching on Lu Ye's shoulder this entire time, shook his body. Yiyi flashed out like a ghost, burrowing through the ground.
Lu Ye naturally couldn't rely on Ying Wuji to gather information. If Yiyi went with him, she should be able to investigate more carefully.
As for himself … his concealment skills might not be inferior to Ying Wuji's, but he couldn't put all his eggs in one basket.
No one knew if there was any danger in the city. If there really was some danger that he couldn't deal with, he could stay outside and think of a way to provide support.
He continued to take out materials to refine a new Sound Transmission Stone.
Lu Ye couldn't help but think back to what the "Corpse Controller" had said the day before.
He originally wanted to force out some useful information from the other party, but who knew that the other party's personality was so unyielding that he didn't even give him a chance. He had no choice but to kill him.
Although he didn't force out too much information, the other party's last words inadvertently revealed something.
Corpse Race!
Undead!
The other party probably thought that he and Ying Wuji were cultivators of the Peerless Continent, so they didn't avoid such basic information.
Ying Wuji should have heard those words as well, but Lu Ye didn't know what he was thinking.
But Lu Ye thought of many things.
The destruction of the Soaring Dragon Realm was because of the Blood Realm's attachment, which led to the continuous loss of the world's origin, finally ushering in destruction.
And the ones who invaded the Soaring Dragon Realm were a strange race, the Blood Race.
The Peerless Continent didn't have Blood Race, but there were Corpse Race!
In comparison, the Corpse Race seemed to be more strange than the Blood Race.
Although the Blood Race were taller and more slender than normal people, and were proficient in many strange blood path secret arts, they were at least alive.
And the Corpse Race wasn't a living thing at all!
In terms of danger, the Corpse Race seemed to be more difficult to deal with than the Blood Race.
In the group of corpses that was destroyed yesterday, there was only one real Corpse Race. The other corpses were all controlled by the Corpse Race, just like the Monster Beasts controlled by the Beast Taming School cultivators.
This was a strange race that could form an army by themselves. If Lu Ye's mind wasn't strong enough to accurately find the trace of the Corpse Race in such a group of corpses, there was no way to deal with such an enemy.
Where did the Corpse Race come from?
Could there be a realm like the Corpse World?
Lu Ye didn't know any of these.
However, relatively speaking, the Corpse Race itself didn't seem to be very strong. As long as one could accurately find the Corpse Race, it wouldn't be difficult to kill them. And once the Corpse Race died, the corpses they controlled would lose their ability to move.
From this point of view, from Lu Ye's point of view, the Corpse Race was easier to deal with than the Blood Race.
Difficult?
What about the Nine Regions?
Under the stable situation of the Nine Regions, what hidden dangers were there?
Lu Ye couldn't help but think of the insect race in the Immortal Origin City.
Since ancient times, the continuous confrontation between the two camps, did it have anything to do with this hidden crisis?
In the Nine Regions, did those Divine Ocean Realm cultivators know about this information?
Living longer and having a high cultivation base didn't mean that one would know more.
The reason why Lu Ye could understand this was because he had seen and observed too many things during his last trip to the Soaring Dragon Realm.
That mysterious and omnipresent Heaven's Secret even directly appeared in front of him and communicated with him!
There were hundreds of millions of cultivators in the Nine Regions. Even those Divine Ocean Realm cultivators might not receive such treatment!
