The Sect Master was speechless, but he knew that Madame Yun was not speaking out of anger. She could really do it.
Shielding one's own shortcomings was not something that only Blue Blood Sect could do. Several decades ago, Yun Xue Chu's name had spread throughout the Nine Provinces and it was unknown how many top Sects had tried to win her over, but they had all been rejected by her. Now, although she did not belong to any Sect, the connections she had accumulated over the years were unimaginable.
If she was angry, even Pang Zhen would have to think twice …
"When the Dragon Emperor is repaired, you can go to Grand Sky City. Since you're a member of the elder group, you can play a small role there!"
"Okay!" The Sect Master nodded.
He did not like fighting for power, nor did he want to fight with others. However, the Jade Blood Sect had developed so far that its disciples joining the Military State Guard had become the norm. Today, there was only one Lu Ye, but there would be more in the future. With his help in the elder group, even if he did not give the disciples any special privileges, at least they would not be bullied.
Even if Madame Yun did not mention this, the Sect Master would have thought about it.
Now that Shui Yuan had reached the Divine Sea Realm, she was strong enough to shoulder the burden of the Jade Blood Sect. He could leave without worry.
.....
Although he had traveled extensively in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and the Cloud River Battlefield and experienced many exciting things, leaving the Jade Blood Sect for Grand Sky City still gave Lu Ye a strange feeling of leaving home for the first time.
There was some anticipation, some excitement, and some reluctance.
The spirit boat flew through the sky, looking at the beautiful scenery of the mountains below.
With his current speed, it would take him more than two days to get to Vast Sky City. If he activated his Flying Wings and Wind Travel, it would only be faster if he disregarded the cost.
With the Ten Points Map to guide him, he would not get lost.
He traveled all the way and gradually left Ao Mountain.
Less than half a day later, when Lu Ye was sitting cross-legged on the spirit boat leisurely, a series of exclamations suddenly came from below, mixed with cries and panicked voices.
"Lu Ye, there seems to be a flood below!" Yiyi, who was steering the spirit boat, said.
Lu Ye hurriedly got up and looked down. He saw that the ground was flooded, and a small village was completely submerged. Under the impact of the flood, most of the houses had collapsed, and only the roofs of the few that were still standing were above the water.
In the distance, he could see some figures standing on the roofs, weak and helpless.
Cries for help and cries of children filled the air.
"Save them!" Lu Ye hurriedly put away the spirit boat and rushed down.
Most of the people he had encountered in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and the Cloud River Battlefield were cultivators.
However, there were still a large number of mortals living in the Nine Regions. It was precisely because of these mortals who did not have long lifespans and were prone to illness that the cultivators were born.
If a cultivator encountered such a flood, they would naturally be able to escape easily. However, for mortals, such a natural disaster was simply unstoppable!
Under normal circumstances, a mortal's residence would be protected by the sect's territory.
In fact, there were many mortals living within the territory of the Jade Blood Sect. There were even many cities that relied on the Jade Blood Sect for survival and were protected by the Jade Blood Sect. However, the Jade Blood Sect had been desolate in the past, so there were no extra people in the sect to patrol the territory and help the mortals resist disasters.
Therefore, in the past few decades, many mortals had migrated away from the territory of the Jade Blood Sect. This was also the reason why the Sect Master liked to run to other people's apprenticeship ceremonies to snatch people away.
There were few people in the sect's territory, so naturally, there were not many with cultivation aptitude.
Lu Ye did not know which sect this area belonged to, but with the sudden flood, it would take time for the cultivators of this sect to rush over.
Since he had encountered it, he naturally could not sit back and do nothing.
"Nine Front Formation!" Lu Ye shouted. Yiyi hurriedly took out the Nine Front Formation and threw it to him. Lu Ye caught it and held it in his hand.
There were not many people living in this village, but there were dozens of families. Now that they were all swept up in the flood, their lives were out of control. It was too unrealistic for him and Yiyi to save them by themselves. They had to borrow the power of the Nine Front Formation.
This thing could trap people, so it was suitable to be used in this place.
The only thing that needed to be used was the spiritual energy used to maintain the Nine Front Formation.
"Mother! Father! " On the crown of a big tree, a ten-year-old child called out loudly. However, his parents were nowhere to be seen. Fortunately, he had cultivated the ability to climb trees. Otherwise, he would have been swept away by the flood.
Suddenly, there was a strong wind above his head. The child looked up and saw a person swooping down from the sky. Immediately after, something covered him. His vision turned black. When he came back to his senses, he had already appeared in a messy stone forest.
The child was helpless and terrified. Although he did not know what had happened, he knew that he had been saved by a cultivator. But … where was this?
Just as he was at a loss of what to do, a figure suddenly appeared beside him. It was a white-haired old man. The old man seemed to have been soaked in the water for a while as he was shivering from the cold.
Seeing the old man, the child hurriedly ran over. "Grandpa Chen!"
"Er Niu!" The old man coughed softly.
"Grandpa Chen, have you seen my parents? Where is this place?"
"Your parents … Don't worry. The cultivators of the Clear Spring Sect have come to save us. This is a safe place," the old man with the surname Chen comforted the child.
He did not know where this place was either. He even mistakenly thought that Lu Ye was a cultivator of the Clear Spring Sect. Since it was a cultivator's method, ordinary people naturally could not understand it.
More and more people appeared in the messy stone forest. Suddenly, Er Niu cried out in pleasant surprise. "Father, mother!"
She hurriedly rushed over, only to see her parents, whom she had lost contact with.
The husband and wife had just escaped and saw their child again. They were so happy that they cried and hugged him tightly, afraid that they would lose him again.
Lu Ye's figure shuttled back and forth, taking the struggling people into the Nine Front Formation. Yiyi and Hu Po were also helping, constantly saving the surrounding villagers and sending them to Lu Ye.
However, comparatively speaking, the people saved by Hu Po were undoubtedly greatly frightened. Hu Po opened his bloody mouth and bit on their clothes. This kind of shock was not something that ordinary people could endure. Among the people saved by Hu Po, more than half of them fainted from fright. Those who did not faint even punched and kicked Hu Po, which made Hu Po very gloomy.
In just a few dozen breaths' time, Lu Ye had already saved all the villagers that he could see. As for those that he could not see, they were probably already dead.
At this moment, several streaks of light hurriedly rushed over from afar. The person in the lead shouted, "Which cultivator has lent a hand? The Clear Spring Sect is endlessly grateful!"
This was the territory of the Clear Spring Sect, and they were also cultivators of the Clear Spring Sect. They just happened to be patrolling the nearby territory. When they learned that there was a sudden flood here, they immediately sent a message to the sect. At the same time, they hurriedly rushed over, and saw the scene of Lu Ye saving people from afar.
As the voice fell, the few of them rushed over to Lu Ye.
The leader was at the Cloud River Tier, and the others were all at the Spirit Stream Tier.
When they got closer and saw Lu Ye's face clearly, the leader was shocked. "You're … Jade Blood Sect's Lu Yiye, Fellow Cultivator Lu?"
He had obviously paid special attention to Lu Ye, and had probably seen his image before. Thus, he recognized Lu Ye's identity at a glance.
Lu Ye nodded. Holding the Nine Front Formation in his hand, he continuously urged his Spiritual Power into it.
However, he had no intention of exchanging pleasantries with him. He looked into the distance, and a city several dozen kilometers away came into view. And that city was shockingly on the path of the flood. At this moment, the monstrous flood was only less than five kilometers away from that city!
Mortals naturally did not see as far as cultivators. There were many mortals in that city who lived and worked peacefully, completely unaware that a disaster was about to befall them.
The city could not be considered large, but there were at least several tens of thousands of people living there. Lu Ye could save the survivors of this village by himself, but there was no way he could save the entire city.
The few cultivators of the Clear Spring Sect who had arrived obviously also saw this scene. The leader's expression changed. "Oh no!"
In the face of such a natural disaster, even Cloud River Tier cultivators appeared powerless.
Although they had already sent a message to the sect, it would still take time for the people of the sect to rush over.
"Everyone, quickly go to that small city to warn and evacuate the people. I will go and see the source." Lu Ye said, then handed the Nine Front Formation in his hand to Yiyi. A pair of fiery-red wings suddenly spread out on his back. With the support of Wind Travel, he turned into a stream of flame and swept in the direction of the source of the flood.
In the present situation, if they wanted to save the people in that city, they could only solve the problem at the source. Otherwise, the entire city would be submerged.
Looking in the direction that Lu Ye had left, the leader of the Clear Spring Sect disciples seemed to have awakened from a dream. He continued to send a message to the sect to report the situation as he led his junior brothers and sisters toward the small city.
A moment later, the peaceful and quiet city was in chaos.
On the other side, Yiyi, who was holding the Nine Front Formation, arrived on a high ground. She released all the people that had been previously stored in the formation, and warned, "Don't run around. Everyone, stay here. The people of the Clear Spring Sect will soon come to settle you down."
Then, she turned around and mounted Hu Po, quickly chasing in the direction that Lu Ye had gone.
In the frightened crowd, two men looked at the direction that Yiyi had gone with a complicated gaze.
"Big Brother, that person just now … was Lu Ye, right?" One of them asked softly.
The other man was silent.
"I haven't seen him for a few years, and he's already so powerful." The person who spoke earlier sighed with emotion. Thinking back to when they were mining slaves in the Evil Moon Valley, the two brothers had a lot of friction with Lu Ye and were taught a few harsh lessons by Lu Ye.
Who would have thought that Lu Ye, who had embarked on the path of cultivation, would become so powerful in just a few years? The two brothers were not able to join any sect because of their lack of aptitude. They were placed here by the Haotian Alliance to live and were destined to be mediocre for the rest of their lives.
"Everyone has their own fate. What's the point of thinking so much!" Although a few years would not erase a person's edges and corners, the two brothers had also accepted the reality that they did not have much aptitude for cultivation.
It was just that when they suddenly saw Lu Ye today, they were a little shocked and emotional.
"Yes, everyone has their own fate." Thinking back to when Lu Ye saved them, he did not seem to recognize them at all. He had probably forgotten about them long ago.
After all, from the moment they embarked on the path of cultivation, the two sides were destined to have different fates.
