Sending a message to ask was one option. By now, Heaven's Mystery Pillars had been set up throughout Peerless Continent, serving as hubs through which cultivators could communicate with one another. That was also why Team Ding Nine had been able to swiftly regroup after fighting separately.
But Lu Ye had no intention of sending a message to ask. They had not seen each other for so long—he had to give her a surprise.
It was not as though there were no clues. Yiyi had contacted her before and knew her approximate location, so Lu Ye decided to look for her himself first. If he truly could not find her, it would not be too late to send a message.
Following the direction Yiyi had pointed out earlier, Lu Ye rose into the air and skimmed along at low altitude.
Along the way, he occasionally encountered cultivators from the Nine Provinces.
Though quite a few Divine Sea Realm cultivators were active in Peerless Continent nowadays, cultivators above Tier Seven were rarely seen. Those at that level had basically accumulated enough Battle Merit during the previous Bug Disaster and the great expedition to the Blood Refining World. Their foremost goal now was to continuously improve their cultivation and strive to take that next step as soon as possible. Generally speaking, cultivators above that level were now staying in the Nine Provinces to cultivate.
Only cultivators whose cultivation was insufficient and whose Battle Merit had not yet accumulated enough would come to Peerless Continent to reap benefits.
Thus, upon sensing Lu Ye's Divine Sea Tier Nine aura from afar, those Nine Provinces cultivators did not feel any kinship. Instead, every one of them swiftly kept their distance, instinctively assuming he had come to steal their prey.
Lu Ye did not mind.
