At Dark Moon Forest Pass, Lin Yue was merely the Junior Pass Master; Zhang Kun was the Grand Pass Master. Though Zhang Kun's reproach was not entirely reasonable—after so many years of conflict between the two camps, it had always been kill or be killed—if this matter were truly pursued to its root, the source really lay with Li Taibai.
The thought turned in her heart, and her mind was made up. Only, the time was not yet right, so she temporarily set it aside.
Two more days later, Old Man You examined Lu Ye and said, "Young friend, your physique is formidable, and the injuries to your flesh have already healed. However, this old man is powerless against the damage to your soul. In the days ahead, you should rest and recuperate in peace. Perhaps there may come a day when you recover."
Naturally, those were words of comfort. Even Old Man You himself did not believe Li Taibai's damaged soul could recover.
"Many thanks, Old Man You." Lu Ye thanked him and watched him leave, only withdrawing his gaze after a long while.
It was time to proceed with the next step of the plan!
At the end of the day, he was Lu Yiye of the Vast Sky Alliance, not Li Taibai of Myriad Demon Ridge. By a twist of fate, he had arrived at Dark Moon Forest Pass, but he could not possibly remain here forever.
He had previously intended to find an opportunity to leave, but the time had simply not come.
The assault on Startled Waves Lake Pass and Liu Yuemei's intervention had delivered that opportunity right to him.
A True Lake Tier Three cultivator with a severely damaged soul and no future whatsoever... Lin Yue presumably would not cling to him, would she?
