This Jiang Qingge... has she really lost her mind?

Is that something you can lick?

Lu Ye had only ever seen similar situations in some small videos before.

After sticking out her tongue, Jiang Qingge quickly realized what she had just done.

Her pretty face flushed crimson, and she almost wanted to find a hole to crawl into.

What on earth was she doing just now?!

She must have been not fully awake after midnight, otherwise, Jiang Qingge felt she would never do such a thing even if you beat her to death.

"Where...where did you go just now? I woke up and didn't see you."

Luckily, the guest room was pitch black, so Jiang Qingge managed to gather herself a bit and asked in a low voice.

"I was afraid of making noise while practicing in the room, so I went outside," Lu Ye responded indifferently.

Lu Ye meant the noise of absorbing the nearby Heaven and Earth Source Qi might be too frightening.

Jiang Qingge, however, thought Lu Ye meant he was afraid the noise during practice would wake her up.

A flicker of gratitude suddenly surged in her heart.

Has this person finally started to care about her?

"The wind and dew outside are chilly, you can just cultivate in the room, no need to go outside specially."

After saying that, she hurriedly drank a glass of water and re-entered her dreams.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye went out again, arriving at Chen Lingxiang's room door...

Before, when Chen Lingxiang arrived, Wang Family Ancestor's expression changed... Lu Ye speculated it might be related to the Forbidden Artifact Fragment he got in Chaotic Wind Mountain!

There might be some imperceptible mark on it or something like that.

Since they had already become enemies, leaving a Wang Family Ancestor to develop in secret would instead be an unstable factor.

Lu Ye intended to see if he could... lure the snake out of its hole tonight.

"Ah, Young Master Lu, you want to lure Wang Family Ancestor?"

In the room, hearing Lu Ye's words, Chen Lingxiang couldn't help but widen his eyes.

"?"

Lu Ye's face turned slightly dark; listen to yourself, is that human language? It's called luring the snake out of its hole! What's with the 'lure'...

"He's cultivating an Evil Technique, advancing quickly; if left unchecked, mistakes might occur, better to... take care of it on the spot," Lu Ye said coldly.

Hearing this, Chen Lingxiang thought it made sense.

Evil Cultivation Techniques are known for rapid advancement, and if left unchecked now, they could grow into a major threat later.

He immediately took out the Forbidden Artifact Fragment and handed it to Lu Ye, saying, "Can... can I follow and see? In case of an accident, I can also help you."

After a moment of contemplation, Lu Ye said, "About twenty miles southeast outside Qingshan City, there's a valley; if I manage to lure him out, I'll make my move there."

"Don't follow too closely, to avoid being discovered by the other side."

"Alright, alright! Rest assured, Young Master Lu." Chen Lingxiang nodded slightly excitedly, finally able to follow Lu Ye to do big things again.

Actively hunting Evil Dao at the Innate level... Just thinking about it is exciting!

Watching Lu Ye disappear in a blink, Chen Lingxiang quickly changed into a set of Night Traveling Clothes.

...

...

In the Wang family, Wang Family Ancestor sat on a chair, his gaze cold.

"Ancestor, isn't it a bit difficult to obtain this Forbidden Artifact Fragment from Chen Family's Chen Lingxiang?" said the Wang Family Patriarch.

If it had been in someone else's hands, upon arriving at Qingshan City, leaving would be impossible!

Within a hundred miles would be his burial ground!

Yet, that person is the Celestial Maiden of the Chen Family, and Chen Family Ancestor... Innate Eighth Layer!

Unless it was absolutely necessary, no one would want to provoke the Chen Family.

The previous claim by Wang Family Ancestor to detain the Celestial Maiden was nothing more than anger speaking.

"First closely monitor their movements," Wang Family Ancestor instructed.

A moment later, just as he was about to head to the Blood Pool in Wang Family's secret chamber to cultivate...

Suddenly, Wang Family Ancestor's old face changed: "The Forbidden Artifact Fragment is moving! I'll go take a look..."

Meanwhile.

Lu Ye hurried out of the city, rushing nonstop to the valley twenty miles away.

He then took out the Forbidden Artifact Fragment, pretending to bury it somewhere.

At that moment, a terrifying, dreadful aura suddenly appeared behind Lu Ye.

"It really worked, so there's indeed a mark on the Forbidden Artifact." His heart tightened as Lu Ye looked toward the rear, where a shadow in black clothing quietly stood.

Going out at night to commit acts of murder and arson, Night Traveling Clothes were almost standard.

"Friend, what business do you have?"

The Wang Family Ancestor, dressed in night travel attire, said coolly, clasping his hands behind his back, "This old man has a fondness for talent. Seeing you appear young, I assume you're not very old."

"Tie your hands, and this old man can spare your life and let you work for me."

Lu Ye replied indifferently, "Oh? Such a good deal? Isn't this asking me to surrender, so you can catch me effortlessly?"

"Now that I know your secret of cultivating evil techniques, is there still any reason to spare my life?"

The next moment, light burst from Wang Family Ancestor's old eyes.

"So it was you all! That Chen family girl, I'll spare her for now, but as for you, whether you are at the Peak of Postnatal or Innate First Layer..."

"This old man will show you just how laughable your strength is in front of me!"

In an instant, Wang Family Ancestor rushed forward, with blood-red light rapidly condensing on his hands.

A ferocious ghostly face emerged, carrying a bloody scent, biting towards Lu Ye!

This kind of wicked move must also have come from the evil cultivation techniques obtained by Wang Family Ancestor.

Lu Ye directly pulled out the Spirit Tide Sword, slashing the ghastly face in half with a flash of sword light.

As the ghostly face split open, Wang Family Ancestor disdainfully snorted coldly.

In an instant, dozens of ghostly faces, like a hundred ghosts emerging, charged towards Lu Ye from all directions!

Seeing this, Lu Ye immediately activated the Fine Rain Sword Technique.

The Fine Rain Sword Technique had low single-target attack power but was most suitable for countering large scale attacks.

With a flash of sword light, the ten ghostly faces encroaching around Lu Ye were all sliced apart.

And those split ghostly faces surprisingly did not disappear again but... spewed out blood-red beams!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

Once the blood-red beams appeared, even the surrounding air seemed to corrode.

Falling onto the valley floor where Lu Ye previously stood, they instantly formed a terrifying deep pit.

Wang Family Ancestor's old face revealed a smile.

Relying on this unexpected move, even back when he was at Innate Second Layer, he had managed to trap and kill an Innate Third Layer!

Now with further advanced strength, a young man suspecting of being Innate First Layer, engulfed by the blood-red beams, stood no chance of survival.

The next moment, blood-red beams gradually dissipated, once again revealing the scene of that area.

Wang Family Ancestor was abruptly shocked!

There... was inconceivably no one!

The envisioned black-clothed youth ravaged and shredded by the blood-red beams had surprisingly vanished.

"How is this possible?!"

Behind a tall tree, utilizing extreme body technique, quietly approaching the stunned Wang Family Ancestor from behind, Lu Ye's gaze sharpened.

Heaven-Defying Sword Technique... Heaven-Defying Sword Momentum!!

A surge of deadly peril emanated from behind, terrifying Wang Family Ancestor, who wanted to turn and defend, but it was already too late...
