r strikes were surprisingly powerful. It hurt! He couldn't just retaliate by hitting her chest, could he After all, she was a woman. It wouldn't be a big deal to kill her, but hitting her chest woul...The number of Wanmo Ridge cultivators gathered in the teahouse was considerable, and there were quite a few powerful ones among them. However, not many people were actually confident that they could kill Lu Ye.

As long as Lu Ye hides within the Tianji Merchant Alliance, they will be helpless. And there's a Tianji Pillar inside the Tianji Merchant Alliance, meaning Lu Ye can return to Jiuzhou at any time.

It can be said that Lu Ye's current situation is infinitely safer than when he was in Huitian Valley.

These countless Wan Mo Ling cultivators gathered here, more out of unwillingness than anything else. Some even harbored a sliver of hope... what if that Lu Yiye foolishly emerged from the Tian Ji Merchant Alliance He probably wouldn't even know how many eyes were watching him outside.

After waiting for so many days, many people have lost their patience. However, considering that we've waited this long, it might be worth waiting a few more days to see if there are any developments.

If another ten or half a month passes, I'm afraid that most of the Wanmo Ridge cultivators gathered here will probably disappear by 80% or more. After all, before there is concrete evidence, no one would keep staring like this.

However, just at noon that day, things took a turn.

There were a considerable number of cultivators gathered in the teahouse, so it had always been quite noisy. However, at a certain moment, this cacophony suddenly and slowly quieted down, as if someone had activated an invisible soundproofing barrier, shrouding the entire teahouse.

On the window sill of the teahouse, one by one, the Wan Mo Ling cultivators looked in disbelief towards the direction of the Tianji Business Alliance. There, at some unknown point in time, a figure appeared.

That person, wearing a mask, suddenly appeared at the entrance of Tianji Trading Alliance. It seemed like they had just come out from inside.

In the Nine States, there are many cultivators who like to wear masks and walk around, especially those secretive ghost cultivators. So, a single mask cannot tell us much on its own.

Appearance can be masked by a face, but one's figure cannot be changed.

What moved countless cultivators in Wanmo Ridge was that the man's figure was extremely similar to Lu Ye's.

As if sensing their gaze, the person standing at the entrance of the Tianji Trading Alliance raised their head and looked toward the second floor of the teahouse.

Their eyes met, and a surge of tension and excitement flickered across the faces of the many cultivators present in the Wanmo Ridge.

What's exciting is that this person is very likely Lu Yiye himself. It seems he's truly hiding within the Tianji Merchant Alliance.

What's worrisome is that the other party has already noticed the situation at the teahouse and might not dare to actually come out. If he turns back to return to the Tianji Commerce Alliance, no one would have any way to stop him.

For a brief moment, there was a tense silence. Under the watchful eyes of everyone present, the figure resembling Lu Yiye took a step forward and strode out of the area shrouded by the Tianji Merchant Alliance's influence.

A group of Wan Mo Ling cultivators were almost about to burst into surprised cheers.

Below the mask, Lu Ye's expression was one of resignation.

Before he got the warning from the manager of the Tianji Merchant Alliance, he knew that there were many cultivators from the Wanmo Ridge monitoring his movements outside. But he didn't expect that after so many days, there were still so many people.

These guys are really patient, aren't they

He could have taken a safer and more stable approach, such as returning to the Tianji Commerce League and retreating to the Jiuzhou, waiting for a month before coming back in. By then, no one would know his whereabouts. But if he had been willing, he would have made that choice while still in Huigu long ago, instead of waiting until today

Moreover, what if he came back a month later Countless cultivators in the Wan Mo Ridge are already eyeing him. No matter where he is, as long as he dares to appear in public, he will inevitably cause many troubles.

Unless he's been hiding in the Kyushu main branch all along.

Since concealing his appearance was useless now, Lu Ye removed the mask from his face as he stepped out of the Tianji Trading Alliance.

Suddenly, the multitude of eyes gazing across the distance sharpened considerably.

What was once just speculation, now with the mask removed, Lu Ye's identity has been confirmed.

"Chase!" someone whispered in the teahouse.

In the next instant, everyone sprang into action and swiftly flew out of the windows.

Not only this teahouse, but also within every building surrounding the Heavenly Machine Commerce Alliance, at this very moment, a multitude of figures suddenly appeared, all rising into the sky.

What was once a bustling teahouse, filled with patrons, became deserted in an instant.

Such a commotion left even some uninformed cultivators speechless, none knowing what had exactly transpired.

I thought that once Lu Ye dared to leave the Tianji Merchant Alliance, he would have no way out. But after chasing for a while, many cultivators in Wan Mo Ling were shocked to realize that something was amiss!

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

"How is this kid so fast!" someone exclaimed in surprise. He had the cultivation of a Cloud River Eighth Layer, although he wasn't known for his speed, he was still above average. Logically speaking, Lu Ye, just a Cloud River Fifth Layer, shouldn't be able to escape his pursuit at all.

But in fact, the distance between him and Lu Ye didn't narrow at all.

>

In terms of flight speed, this five-layered Lu Ye is almost the same as that eight-layered one.

The flight speed of a cultivator generally depends on the strength of their cultivation. As a general rule, the higher the cultivation level, the faster the flying speed.

Therefore, cultivators with low cultivation levels have little chance of surviving under cultivators with higher cultivation levels. They cannot defeat their opponents, nor can they escape. Thus, they can only die.

Of course, there's also the factor of flying magic tools. Different flying magic tools have different restrictions imprinted on them, so the benefits they provide to cultivators are not the same.

Some expensive flying instruments can indeed allow cultivators to fly faster, but such flying instruments are all extremely costly.

The eight-layered cultivators quickly realized that flying artifacts, which were incredibly valuable to other cultivators, held no significance whatsoever for Lu Yiye, the renowned "Dog Tycoon."

This fellow isn't much else, just boasts a lot of achievements. He can casually summon one or two Celestial Pivot Rods, like they are nothing special, and find a top-tier flying spirit artifact from the Heavenly Secret Treasury—all completely normal for him.

I was momentarily envious and resentful, which only made me more determined to kill Lu Ye.

By this time, he also understood that killing Lu Yiye was something he probably wouldn't be able to do. Those who had reached the ninth level of Yunhe Realm were flying at speeds faster than him and were constantly closing the distance with Lu Yiye. As long as they caught up, Lu Yiye would undoubtedly die.

It's a pity, I only wish my cultivation level was the ninth level instead of the eighth.

As time passed, the over three hundred people who had been chased out of Tiānjī City gradually spread out. Those with lower cultivation levels fell behind, while those closer to the front had higher cultivation levels.

Over ten figures, all at the Yunhe Nine Layers realm, were leading the charge. Each of them frantically activated their flying artifacts, their bodies surging with unrestrained spiritual energy.

At this point, they wouldn't just be trying to kill Lu Ye. They needed to strike faster than anyone else. After all, Lu Ye only had one head. Whoever made the first move stood the best chance of taking his life.

At the very front, Lu Ye stuffed a few pills into his mouth and chewed them slowly.

Although pursued by a horde of Demonic Abyss Cultivators, he remained unperturbed, even taking the time to assess his current strength.

He dared to walk out of the Heavenly Machine Business Alliance in plain sight of so many Wan Mo Ling cultivators. It wasn't a heatstroke that made him do this, but rather he had some confidence that he could resolve this crisis.

To be honest, he was alone and couldn't possibly stand against so many enemies. Once caught, there would be no escape.

He who is to be overtaken must first run! Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate.

At this moment, he was only urging his spirit boat, and having imbued it with the Wind-Walking Spirit Rune, its speed was basically on par with that of an ordinary cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

It's incredible that someone at the Cloud River Fifth Layer Realm could achieve such a level of skill. The opportunity and fortune gained within Fox Fairy Valley must have played a significant role.

That time, the baptism bestowed by Heaven's Will brought his already formidable foundation to a new height, and his cultivation level also increased by one. This not only allowed him to have the ability to kill enemies three ranks higher than him, but also gave him a faster flight speed.

Of course, this doesn't mean he can rest assured under the pursuit of Yunhe Nine Layers cultivators.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate! way to rescue him. But if he entered the secret realm... that would be a completely different situation.The secret realm is like another world, separate from the Nine Continents. It's impossible to t...
