etly if Fa Wu Zun could escape the pursuit.While others were skillfully piloting their star ships, she trailed behind, trying not to draw too much attention. Soon, she was left far behind and out of s...Because he was searching for traces of Lu Ye, this cultivator at the eighth level of the Gathering Qi realm wasn't flying very high, only about forty zhang above the ground.

This is a very clever height, it both ensures he can see what's happening on the ground and makes sure he has enough time to react and maneuver if attacked.

Judging from this alone, this person seems to be a seasoned veteran.

As he passed by, a faint wave of spiritual energy suddenly came from below. If not for his extreme focus, he would have missed this anomaly.

He immediately looked in that direction, and saw a figure darting through the forest like a startled bird. Even though it was night, the other person's form was still clearly visible to his eyes.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Lu Yiye!" The cultivator was overjoyed. He didn't expect to actually find Lu Yiye's whereabouts. Feeling his good fortune, he hurriedly chased after him. In the blink of an eye, he flew in front of Lu Yiye and landed in mid-air, a broadsword in his hand, spiritual energy surging through it like a hawk swooping down on its prey, directly striking towards Lu Yiye.

A loud bang echoed through the air. Lu Ye, who was fleeing for his life, was suddenly pressed to the ground by a powerful force. Their spiritual artifacts clashed, releasing a surge of energy that exploded with a deafening roar.

Under the sweeping air currents, the two were suddenly separated.

This exchange of blows appeared to leave Lu Ye at a disadvantage, but the explosive power he suddenly unleashed caused his opponent to raise an eyebrow in surprise.

Lu Ye's spiritual power fluctuations were indeed at the fifth level, but the strength he displayed was far more than just that of a fifth-level cultivator. However, this person didn't seem to care much. Lu Ye was renowned for being able to defeat enemies beyond his own level, so such a performance was not surprising.

Just as he was thinking this, a figure materialized behind him like a ghost from the ground…

Lu Ye sometimes wondered if Yiyi had chosen the wrong faction back then. If she had been a ghost cultivator instead, she would have undoubtedly surpassed all other ghost cultivators in potential.

It's a pity that when he first joined the Bixue Sect, there were only two people in the entire sect, Shui Yuan and the Sect Master.

Yiyi once followed Shui Yuan to learn the art of medicine, but she found she had no talent for it. She then turned to learning martial arts under the sect leader's tutelage.

Besides lightning magic...

Perhaps because of her spirit, Yiy is very afraid of Lei Jie's magic, let alone practicing it herself.

No matter what, since Yiyi has embarked on the path of legal cultivation and possesses exceptional talent, it's now difficult to switch to another school. She can only wait until her strength increases in the future before considering dual cultivating the ghost cultivator school.

Although she had never practiced ghost cultivation, as a spirit herself, she possessed certain innate advantages that even seasoned ghost cultivators struggled to attain.

At this moment, she silently appeared behind the enemy, who was completely unaware.

Not until Yiyi brought out the Nine Arrays Diagram, with fluctuations of spiritual power surging forth, did the eight-layer realm cultivators tremble in astonishment. However, before they could investigate the danger behind them, their vision suddenly blurred, and they were abruptly transported to a chaotic expanse of rocks.

"Find a place to hide." Lu Ye ordered, then rushed into the Nine Formations Diagram himself.

Time flew by. After a pot of tea, Yiyi's figure appeared, shaking slightly in the nine-array diagram. There were a few scars on his body, not serious, just skin deep wounds.

At his feet lay the corpses of the eight-tiered realm cultivators. Compared to them, this man's wounds were numerous, his clothes almost dyed red with blood. Even though he was dead, his eyes remained wide open, a look of unwilling death on his face.

He was indeed somewhat indignant in death.

As dawn approached, and after a night of hunting, he was exhausted and needed to rest.

Half an hour later, in a hidden location within the array, Lu Ye sat by the stream, swallowing a spirit pill to recover his strength.

Through their fight, they proved their suspicions.

Under normal circumstances, he indeed had the capital to fight a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, even without Yiy's secret assistance. Lu Ye also had the confidence to kill the opponent.

This undoubtedly means that now he has the ability to kill enemies three ranks above him!

Before this, he could at most jump two levels. Such a significant change must be attributed to the great fortune brought by Fox Fairy Valley. That time's celestial blessing and baptism greatly increased his and Li Baxian's foundational strength.

And this is only under normal circumstances.

If it were able to trigger the beastly art, his strength would improve significantly, perhaps even able to directly confront those at the Ninth Layer

Lu Ye couldn't be sure about this. Although he had defeated a Level Nine cultivator one-on-one, his fight against Huo Liaoyuan was different. He relied on the talent tree's ability to block flames back then, essentially exhausting Huo Liaoyuan by sheer attrition...

That's a special case, it's hard to say for sure.

Back then, when he was still in the Lingxi realm, he had been chased and hunted many times. But now, he is no longer the one from the Lingxi realm who could be compared to.

The cultivators of Wanmo Ridge thought he was prey, but in his eyes, the cultivators of Wanmo Ridge were his prey.

One night, the disappearance of four or five teams didn't attract much attention. These Wanmo Ridge cultivators mostly traveled with their own disciples or friends and rarely interacted with outsiders. So even if they disappeared, most people didn't know about it.

One night like this, two nights like this, three nights still like this....

Finally, the forces of Wanmo Ridge noticed something was amiss.

Especially Song Zhu, before returning to the Tian Gu Valley, when he rallied the cultivators from Wan Mo Ridge, many exchanged battlefield talismans with him. Each night, a batch of these exchanged talismans would disappear. This was clearly not the work of demonic beasts but rather the handiwork of someone's poison.

In this vast mountainous region, besides numerous Demon Valley cultivators, there was only Lu Ye!if you have other text you'd like me to translate!"He secretly rejoiced that he had chosen the right direction, because the dragon's belly was its weakest point. If he had chosen another direction and...
