Chapter 746: Chapter 746, She Has Succeeded

Translator: Jon Translation Checker : Silavin A red ray of light flashed across the sky and disappeared in a blink. Flashes of light ran after it as their murderous intent surged. At the head were Xia Liang, Tan Sheng, and the others. Xia Liang was determined to kill Lu Ye while looking at him from afar. At the same time, he was glad that the fluctuations of Lu Ye’s Spiritual Power were not so different from one month and a half ago. In other words, his cultivation hadn’t increased much. At that realisation, Xia Liang let out a sigh of relief. He had always been astonished by Lu Ye’s growth in power. Someone else might not improve much in one month and a half, but the same couldn’t be said of Lu Ye. As such, he was naturally relieved that Lu Ye was still a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm Master. But soon, he realised something was off. Although Lu Ye’s cultivation hadn’t improved much, his speed had increased significantly. That was because the speed Lu Ye showcased was the same as the previous time. However, he was on his own previously, but he was carrying someone now. It showed that he could indeed move faster now. Moreover, all of them had been poisoned, which made the flow of their Spiritual Powers sluggish. Their powers had declined as a result. This made sure that regardless of how hard they tried, they were unable to shorten the gap with Lu Ye. What was worse, he was getting further away from them. [Dang it!] Xia Liang wondered how a Sixth-Order Cloud River Realm could fly so fast. Was the Wings Glyph so incredible? Since they didn’t have an advantage in speed, they could only hope to compete with Lu Ye using their Spiritual Powers. They expected him to be unable to keep flying at the same speed due to prolonged consumption of energy. Messages were spread as the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge informed their companions of where Lu Ye was and the direction he was heading. From time to time, some people would appear in front of him and try to intercept him. This forced Lu Ye to keep changing directions and make a detour. As such, it became increasingly difficult for him to get rid of his enemies. Fortunately, his goal wasn’t to get rid of them. While he was running for his life, Hua Ci and Yi Yi were chatting in his arms. Yi Yi didn’t show up, for she could communicate with others while hiding inside Amber. She hadn’t seen Hua Ci in a long time, so she felt a sense of amiability while talking to her. When she was in Soaring Dragon Boundary, she saw the Divine Healer, who looked identical to Hua Ci. In comparison, though, the Divine Healer was more mature than the other woman. Yi Yi talked about Soaring Dragon Boundary while Hua Ci listened intently. At the end of the tale, she asked, “So, who is that Divine Healer?” Since the beginning, Lu Ye had never believed that two people would look and sound alike in two different worlds. They were even in the same faction. A sensitive Hua Ci realised something was off about the Divine Healer as well. “I don’t know. You have to ask Lu Ye about it. They had a talk alone before we departed.” “Alone?” Hua Ci shot Lu Ye a bitter look, but seeing as the man was focused on flying, she wouldn’t dare bother him. When the Battlefield Imprint vibrated suddenly, Hua Ci was startled. “I forgot to send Fourth Senior Brother a message.” “Fourth Senior Brother?” Lu Ye frowned. “What about them?” While replying to the message, Hua Ci said, “They heard you were trapped here, so they rushed to this place. However, they were weak against the enemies, so how were they supposed to save you? They were repeatedly defeated by those of Thousand Demon Ridge. Before this, they had been waiting for you to show up.” Lu Ye felt warmth in his heart. His fellow Sect members were reliable, after all. When they learned that Lu Ye was in trouble, they scurried over to this place. Even Hua Ci had arrived, and she deliberately let the enemies capture her. If not for Hua Ci’s help and coordination, he would’ve chosen to stay in Soaring Dragon Boundary for a longer time. “Tell them to go back to Ameliorate Valley. I’m fine now.” “Alright.” Meanwhile, after Li Baxian read Hua Ci’s message, the wrinkles between his brows finally unfolded. He let out a breath and said, “Junior Brother has gotten out of trouble.” Feng Yuechan was surprised. “Has she succeeded?” Just a while ago, Hua Ci sent them a message to tell them everything was under her control. Only a short time had passed, and she had succeeded in saving Lu Ye. She wondered what Hua Ci had done to pull off such an amazing feat. One had to know that hundreds of cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge had gathered over there. Many of them were Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Masters. “Junior Brother told us to go back to Ameliorate Valley.” Li Baxian rose to his feet and beckoned to them. “Let’s go.” Since Lu Ye was out of trouble, it was pointless for them to keep staying there. Rather than wasting time here, they should go back and cultivate. Only when they were powerful enough would they have the might to solve the problem if they came across a similar incident again. As a Sword Light flashed across the sky, the three of them departed. During the pursuit, more and more cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge were out of sight. Even people like Tan Sheng were unable to hold out any longer. It wasn’t that they had exerted themselves; they were just worried about the poison that had affected them. Although the poison wasn’t lethal, it made their Spiritual Powers sluggish. This made it hard for them to use their powers. If they couldn’t get rid of the poison in time, they might be left with some health concerns. Unfortunately, even though they had consumed some Antidote Pills, it didn’t seem to work. They had no choice but to seek the help of Medical Cultivators. After running after Lu Ye for two hours, most of the cultivators, who had left the compound of Hundred Wards Tower, were out of sight. Only some people still appeared out of nowhere and intercepted Lu Ye from time to time. Since they had gathered in a hurry, their formation was easily breakable. As soon as they formed a siege, Lu Ye was able to break it and flee. Another four hours later, a city in the distance came into Lu Ye’s sight. He was about to reach the nearest City of Heavens, which was his destination. There was no doubt the Divine Trade Association was the safest place on Cloud River Battlefield. As such, when one was hunted down by powerful enemies, the best way was to hide inside the Divine Trade Association. As long as he managed to do that, his enemies wouldn’t be able to harm him regardless of how formidable they were. Moreover, there was the Divine Opportunity Column in the Divine Trade Association, so he could make use of it to return to Jiu Zhou at any moment. Since time immemorial, countless cultivators in Jiu Zhou had saved their lives in such a way. At present, ten kilometres away from the City of Heavens, many people hovered in the air. They were the cultivators of Thousand Demon Ridge who had gotten wind of it. There were only roughly thirty to forty people. Although none of them were Ninth-Order Cloud River Realm Masters, several of them were in the Eighth Order. They had been waiting nervously while receiving news from all directions. Judging from where Lu Ye was heading, he was supposedly coming to this City of Heavens. Therefore, their goal was simple, which was to stop Lu Ye before he could enter the city. “He’s coming!” someone announced. The cultivators lifted their heads and saw a ray of light charging towards them at an incredible speed from a distance. The ray of light that looked as bright as fire was the same as what was described in the messages. He was none other than Lu Ye! These cultivators were thrilled in an instant. They rubbed their palms together and summoned their Spirit Artifacts. Some of them were ready to attack Lu Ye with spells. “He’s moving so fast!” another person exclaimed. They could see that the red ray of light was moving at an unimaginable speed. That was similar to the speed of a Ninth-Order Master who fully activated his power. From what they had gathered, Lu Ye was carrying a woman. He could already move so fast while carrying someone. If he was on his own, he could fly even faster. No one else could catch up with him except the Ninth-Order Sword Cultivators. It was no wonder the famously powerful cultivators had failed their missions. Even Sword Cultivators could only race after him for a while, and they couldn’t persevere as time passed. Lu Ye had fled from Hundred Wards Tower, and he had been flying for hours. They wondered how he had such a huge reserve of Spiritual Power. Certainly, Lu Ye couldn’t hold on for such a long time by relying on his own reserve of Spiritual Power. Presently, his Spirit Storage Ring had almost run out of energy. Fortunately, the City of Heavens was right before his eyes, though he had to deal with the people in front of him. Without avoiding them, Lu Ye charged right at them like a meteorite descending from the sky. “How dare you!” someone growled and made a move. As his Spiritual Power surged, he cast a spell at Lu Ye. That seemed to be a signal, for when the spell was cast, even more spells and colourful lights that radiated from their Spirit Artifacts rained on Lu Ye. Faced with the bombardment of attacks, even a Ninth-Order Master couldn’t deal with it directly. While in Lu Ye’s arms, Hua Ci held her breath and hugged him tighter. When she looked at the face that was only centimetres away, she didn’t see any anxiety behind his gaze. Instead, he was as calm and collected as ever. This gave her a reason to calm down. Lu Ye lifted the saber he had been holding and held it in front of him. His Spiritual Power and vitality burned at the same time. Hua Ci’s pupils dilated, for she felt a prick in her skin at that moment. It was as if she was hugging a blade, not a Human. He was like a ferocious blade that was born out of nowhere. An aura of ferocity, dominance, and aggression spread. Faced with the aura, Hua Ci felt like a blade of grass that fluttered amid the storm, making her feel unnerved. Following that, she heard Lu Ye muttering, “Starburst.” His Spiritual Power surged as his right arm, which he used to hold his saber, bulged. He pushed out his saber. Although it looked like he had only made one move, he had cast innumerable attacks. All the spells and attacks were fended off as explosions were heard. After the red Saber Light blocked all the attacks, the weapon radiated a glow and made the cultivators swamped in an illusion.
