Return

After a long talk with Ji Yuan, Lu Ye had cleared up quite a few matters, yet seemed to have gained even more doubts. As for what exactly he was doubtful about, he had not thought it through.

As the two spoke, Immortal Yuan Guards continually returned from outside. They saluted Ji Yuan, then plunged headfirst into the Soul Pool and vanished.

This Insect Race siege had ended. As Spirit Bodies of Immortal Yuan City, they needed to enter the Soul Pool and slumber, reducing their own expenditure.

Lu Ye saw several familiar faces, including Liu Sanbao, the scholar, and the Fortune-telling Blind Man.

As expected, all three were great cultivators of the Divine Sea Realm, each commanding an Immortal Yuan Guard squad. When they saw Lu Ye, none displayed much surprise. After all, everyone in Immortal Yuan City already knew that an outsider had appeared in the city during this Insect Race siege, had performed quite well, and had been assigned by Butcher to his own squad.

Their gazes met, and they merely nodded slightly in greeting.

Before long, another familiar face appeared—it was Xi Wanying, holding a Pipa in her arms.

The look this woman gave Lu Ye was exceedingly resentful, as though he had done something so outrageous that heaven and earth alike would condemn it. Then again, she had always worn that resentful, pitifully delicate expression, like a homeless kitten that had been abandoned. But anyone who underestimated her because of it would surely come to no good end.

Butcher had personally admitted that Xi Wanying was stronger than he was. Moreover, from what he had said, this woman seemed rather small-minded.

Thus, when Lu Ye saw her, he could not help feeling somewhat uneasy, fearing that she might bear a grudge over the previous incident
