Next to the bonfire, Lu Ye looked up and saw two figures slowly approaching, swaying with the light of the fire.
After a short while, a man and a woman came to a stop not far away. The man was tall while the woman was petite and cute. They seemed to be husband and wife.
"Greetings, brother." The man cupped his fists, but the petite woman standing beside him glanced at the black horse behind Lu Ye, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Lu Ye looked at the top of their heads with an intrigued expression. "Are you … bandits from Mt. Gale?"
The man's face suddenly changed: "Friend, please don't speak nonsense. We husband and wife are just passing by and have never done anything outrageous."
"Is that so?"
"Of course."
"Puff puff …" Two soft sounds suddenly came out.
The man opposite was taken aback: "What's that sound?"
The petite woman also retracted her gaze from the black horse and sniffed gently with her nose: "There's the smell of blood … no!"
At this moment, the man also reacted, his face suddenly became fierce, and he leaped high into the air, rushing straight towards Lu Ye.
"Puchi!" Lu Ye sat on the ground without moving, but a thick spear suddenly appeared in his hand. He directly pierced through the man and hung him on the spear.
"You …" The man looked at Lu Ye in disbelief. Although they knew Lu Ye was not to be trifled with when they saw the black horse, they didn't expect him to be so ruthless.
Where did they get exposed?
The petite woman had just pulled out a long whip from her waist and was about to attack when she saw her companion stabbed to death. Her beautiful face changed color and she turned to flee!
She knew the enemy was not weak, but she didn't expect him to be this strong.
With a whoosh, the sound of something breaking through the air came from behind, followed by a thick blood-stained spear suddenly falling from the sky, grazing her towering chest before stabbing into the ground two feet in front of her.
The woman froze in place, cold sweat dripping down her back as the night wind blew.
She naturally didn't think the enemy made a mistake. This precise control was clearly a warning. If she dared to run again, she would inevitably follow in her companion's footsteps.
Moments later, Lu Ye was gnawing on a thick beast leg. Across from the bonfire, the woman was kneeling on the ground, trembling. She didn't dare to escape, so she had returned.
"Tell me." Crunching sounds came from Lu Ye's mouth. It was the sound of bones being crushed.
The way he ate made the woman feel even more ferocious and terrifying.
"We came from the stockade. The Sixth Master hasn't returned yet, so we're here to pick him up …"
Just as Lu Ye had thought, these guys were indeed bandits.
In fact, when Lu Ye saw them, he already had some guesses because the numbers above their heads were the same as the bandits', a little over a thousand.
Furthermore, how could a normal person travel in such a deep forest at such a late hour?
Old Ma really knew the way. He was a little worried that he had gone in the wrong direction, but now it seemed that he was right. The stronghold that the woman spoke of was undoubtedly the gathering place of the mountain bandits. There should be a lot of Asura Seals there.
There weren't two of them, but four. The man and the woman were in direct contact to distract Lu Ye, while the other two secretly approached, ready to take him down.
However, Lu Ye had already sensed it. Two small stones were easily taken care of by the two bandits. The first popping sound was the sound of stones killing people.
After the woman finished speaking, she carefully looked up at Lu Ye, but saw that he didn't react at all. He was still eating heartily.
After a while, she heard Lu Ye order, "Continue roasting!"
"Hm?" The female bandit was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted. She eagerly got up, cut off a large piece of meat from the beast's corpse, and roasted it in the volcano.
After all, the woman was more careful. She even brought seasonings with her when she went out. This undoubtedly made Lu Ye very happy. With seasonings, the roasted meat wasn't so bland anymore.
One roasted and one ate, the scene was strange.
The woman's roasting skills were very good. Every time she roasted the meat until it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. As she roasted, the corners of her mouth curled up, and her eyes flashed with pride.
'So what if you're strong? After eating so much Seven Fragrance Powder, I'll turn you into a fish on the chopping board!'
Bandits like them had endless tricks up their sleeves when facing their enemies. It was normal for them to secretly poison their food. Under normal circumstances, they would have to be careful when poisoning their food to avoid being discovered. However, at this moment, with the help of seasonings, no one would be able to tell.
In the woman's opinion, the person who killed the Sixth Master was probably a young master from a big family. Although he had some skills, he didn't know the dangers of the world.
'Let me teach you a lesson!' She was secretly pleased.
She looked forward to the young master's shocked and panicked expression when the poison took effect.
"Uh …"
Just as she was thinking this, a strange sound suddenly came from Lu Ye's side. It was as if his throat was blocked. Then, his face flushed red and his eyes glazed over.
A smile immediately appeared on the woman's beautiful face. She covered her mouth and laughed coquettishly.
Although the young master's table manners weren't good, he had an otherworldly temperament. He was completely different from the bandits in the stronghold. She would be able to enjoy herself after taking him down.
"Bang!" Lu Ye suddenly patted his chest and then grabbed the water bag beside him to drink some water. He looked at the woman with a strange expression. "I choked. What's so funny?"
The woman's smile quickly disappeared. She lowered her head with a docile expression. "Thanks to the young master's pity, I escaped from death. I'm crying tears of joy!"
'It's not the poison taking effect?' 'This guy is really strong. It looks like I'll have to wait a little longer.'
After waiting for most of the night, the woman's anticipation slowly disappeared. Then, it turned into bewilderment and panic …
'What's the situation with this person?' She had never seen someone who could eat so much. Even the Third Master, who was known as a rice bucket, didn't eat as much as he did.
Such a big strange beast was actually almost half eaten. What made the woman even more puzzled was that the other party's stomach didn't show any signs of swelling.
'Where did the food he ate go?' 'This guy even ate the bones.'
If it was just that, then it would be fine. However, she had used up all the Seven Fragrance Powder she carried with her and the other party was still safe and sound!
'It's impossible for such an outrageous person to exist in this world. Could it be … that I've encountered a ghost?'
"This piece of meat …" A voice suddenly came from the other side.
The woman trembled and raised her head to look at Lu Ye. She saw Lu Ye frowning and holding a large piece of roasted beast meat in his hand. "The taste isn't right. Did you change the seasoning?"
The woman squeezed out an ugly smile. "I changed it. I ran out of the original seasoning."
Although she had brought a lot of Seven Fragrance Powder, how could it withstand this kind of cooking? That amount of Seven Fragrance Powder could even poison a hundred people to death. However, the other party was actually safe and sound.
Thinking about how even the Sixth Master died in this person's hands, the woman suddenly realized that the person she met was definitely not an ordinary person. He was a cultivator on the same level as the Masters!
Only cultivators could resist the effects of the Seven Fragrance Powder! 'No wonder he could kill the Sixth Master.'
"Alright, continue roasting!" Lu Ye ordered.
The woman didn't dare to neglect and hurriedly complied.
At the same time, in a nameless place.
A mirror floated in the air. A scene was reflected in the mirror. It was a scene in the depths of a mountain forest. Under the cover of the night, a bonfire was rising. Beside the bonfire, a young man with a long saber was sitting cross-legged and eating heartily. A woman was roasting beast meat with a distressed expression.
Beside her, only a small part of the skeleton of a strange beast was left.
This scene was actually Lu Ye's current location, and the person eating the barbecued meat was none other than him.
The perspective from the mirror's reflection seemed to be hanging not far in front of him. However, Lu Ye didn't notice it at all.
Beside the mirror, several people were sitting upright. Their eyes were fixed on Lu Ye without blinking. Their eyes were filled with observation and scrutiny.
Du … Du … Du … A sound slowly sounded. Several people looked in the direction of the sound. They all stood up and respectfully said, "Patriarch!"
The sound was heard again. A moment later, a white-haired old man who looked like he was about to die walked over with a walking stick supported by a woman.
A silver light flashed in the Patriarch's eyes. After observing for a while, he asked, "How is the situation?"
A man who had been in charge of observing the situation here said excitedly, "Patriarch, the character of this generation's successor seems to be good. At present, he is a worthy person to entrust."
The Patriarch nodded lightly, "Strength will affect one's character, but if you want to see a person's true temperament, you will undoubtedly have to look at how he conducts himself when he is weak."
"Patriarch is right, but this person has only killed bandits so far. In the face of the temptation of ordinary villagers, he has turned a blind eye. This time … it should be fine."
"No hurry," The Patriarch shook his head, "Continue to observe. If there is a situation, report it at any time."
"Yes!" Several people responded.
The Patriarch slowly turned around. He didn't have much time left. If he could see his clan break free from its shackles in this lifetime, he would die without regret!
Originally, he thought he would never have such an opportunity in this lifetime, but who knew it would suddenly appear in front of him.
"Something's wrong!" someone cried out in alarm.
The Patriarch, who was about to leave, immediately turned around. His cloudy eyes became much clearer at this moment as he stared hard at the mirror. In the mirror, an invisible wave of Qi suddenly exploded around Lu Ye.
"This is …" The Patriarch revealed a look of astonishment.
"His cultivation has increased!" The person in charge of observing Lu Ye's situation had a clue.
The moment he said this, the originally clear mirror became blurry.
"This is bad, the Asura Field is adjusting!"
"Didn't they already suppress his cultivation to Four Apertures? How could it have increased in such a short period of time?"
"It seems that we all underestimated the power of that treasure. Perhaps even the Asura Field can't suppress it."
"Now that he has broken free, the Asura Field must make some adjustments."
"Hurry and interfere!"
"We can't interfere. We can only make some arrangements before he enters this scene. After he enters, no one will be able to interfere. The Asura Field will automatically adjust itself."
There was an uproar. (End of Chapter)
