Chapter 280: Chapter 278: The Easily Fooled Saintess Xihua, Red Cloud’s Warning, Entering the Black Tide Forbidden Land!

Black Tide Nether River... is it suspected to lead to the Nine Netherworld?

The Red Cloud Fairy spoke unintentionally, but Lu Ye listened with intent.

This Nine Netherworld... is it the same place where Jiang Qingge and Youluo are, or is there some connection?

When the Red Cloud Fairy saw Lu Ye’s eyes move slightly, she thought this person actually had an interest in the mysterious Black Tide Nether River and was almost startled.

"You must not be curious about it! The Black Tide Nether River... has even devoured an Earth Realm Grandmaster!"

It has even devoured an Earth Realm Grandmaster?!

"Also, the Shadow Flower you need for your mission likes shady places, and it might appear around the Nether River, so be extremely careful," said the Red Cloud Fairy.

"Why has such a Ten-Star Task been issued?" Lu Ye was a bit curious.

"Because within the sect, an Inner Sect Elder was injured by a strange person years ago and requires this flower year-round to concoct medicine for healing," Red Cloud explained without hiding anything, speaking slowly.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye understood.

"Alright, thank you Sect Leader for the explanation, time is pressing, so I’ll take my leave first."

Bowing with his fists together, Lu Ye’s figure soared into the sky again, vanishing from the open space in the blink of an eye.

Watching the direction Lu Ye left, Red Cloud murmured softly: "If you complete this task, you’ll have three hundred fifty thousand points, and after the next Ten-Star Task... you’ll leave, won’t you."

Lu Ye’s short visit had already provided a kind of inspiration to the Red Cloud Sect.

But who knows how long this inspiration will last once he truly leaves.

Retracting her gaze, Red Cloud headed towards the Red Cloud Sect.

...

Somewhere in the Northern Territory.

A woman in a white dress landed somewhat helplessly on a large tree.

Saintess Xihua felt like a headless fly waiting for luck to find her.

Since her Spiritual Mark was erased by that pretty boy, she had not the slightest clue.

She returned to the City of Chaos once more and, unwilling to trust anyone easily this time, attempted to wait for the mysterious Youluo Sect Leader to return, but without success.

Day by day passed, and Saintess Xihua felt like she was falling apart...

The once-close Starfall Spirit Sword now seemed so far away...

"Where the hell has that damn pretty boy hidden himself?"

She looked up at the sky with empty eyes, a sense of hopelessness welling in her heart.

Suddenly...

A figure dashed rapidly across the sky above!

"Hmm? ...Hmm?!"

Standing on a tree, Saintess Xihua’s eyes widened as if she had seen a ghost!

What...what did she just see?!

A figure that resembled that pretty boy flashed by in the sky!

Although she knew it was easy to find similar figures...

That person back then was masked in black, so she never saw his true face and could only judge by his silhouette.

Having been without hope, suddenly finding a figure that somewhat resembled his...

"Catch up and see!"

Having made up her mind, Saintess Xihua, as if injected with energy, revived and immediately followed.

...

As Lu Ye sped forward, he suddenly felt he was being followed.

The tail was hanging hundreds of meters away, seemingly not weak.

His brow immediately furrowed. In his mind, he wondered if the person following him was a Female Cultivator at the Grandmaster Realm...

Since when did a new female Grandmaster appear in the Northern Territory?

"Friend, you are of the Grandmaster Realm, sneaking behind, isn’t this undermining the identity of a Martial Arts Grandmaster?"

After pondering, Lu Ye turned around in mid-air, his voice spreading clearly behind him.

He was heading to a perilous Black Tide Forbidden Land.

Having a mysterious tail follow him would only add more variables.

So it was best to resolve it as soon as possible.

Three to four hundred meters away, staring at the shrinking figure and hearing his words, Saintess Xihua was taken aback.

Was she... discovered?

Since she was already noticed, there was no point in hiding.

After thinking, Saintess Xihua immediately closed the distance rapidly and came before Lu Ye.

Upon nearing, a flash of realization appeared in Lu Ye’s eyes.

So it’s her?

The one he encountered in the Eastern Territory, competing against him for the Starfall Spirit Sword!

Did she actually come to the Northern Territory too... following him?

Numerous thoughts flashed through his mind, but on the surface, he appeared calm and changed his voice slightly, asking, "Young lady, do you have any business, why are you following behind me? If so, just speak directly."

Standing a few meters away, upon seeing Lu Ye’s face under the human skin mask, a slight disappointment flashed across Saintess Xihua’s eyes.

Too ordinary, too unremarkable!

This kind of person... couldn’t possibly be a pretty boy, right?

Whose pretty boy looks like this?

Also, the voice was different from the one she heard before.

Still holding on to a shred of hope, Saintess Xihua asked, "I find you somewhat familiar... have you ever been to the Eastern Territory?"

Seeing Saintess Xihua ask so straightforwardly, Lu Ye shook his head and said, "Eastern Territory? Never been."

Internally, he felt some sentiment; her strength was good but a bit naive.

If Lu Ye knew that Saintess Xihua, a dignified Grandmaster, almost got caught in the chaos of the City of Chaos before...

He would likely be more certain of this thought.

Sure enough, upon hearing Lu Ye’s answer, a trace of unconcealable disappointment flashed in Saintess Xihua’s eyes. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Never mind, you go ahead, sigh..."

Waving her hand, Saintess Xihua descended from the sky, looking dispirited.

"Goodbye."

Lu Ye’s expression remained calm, turned, and flew away slowly.

Landing back on a tree, Saintess Xihua was filled with endless melancholy.

"Where the hell is that damn pretty boy..."

On the other side, flying hundreds of miles away, Lu Ye glanced back to find nothing occurred behind him.

Scanning once more with his Spiritual Sense, confirming no mistake, he curved a smile, accelerating towards the Black Tide Forbidden Land.

...

A day later, when a figure landed on the edge of a region filled with intense danger, it scanned the surroundings instantly.

"This is the Black Tide Forbidden Land..."

The Black Tide Forbidden Land had a layer of faint black clouds lingering over it, enveloping a vast area in depressive clouds.

Within the Forbidden Land was a strange oppression that made it impossible to fly freely above.

The surrounding trees, all at least a hundred years old, were lush and verdant. In the distance, faint terrifying roars of powerful beasts could be heard.

The place where Lu Ye landed seemed like a commonly used entrance for exploratory teams heading into the Forbidden Land.

About a hundred meters behind, there was a five-person team planning to venture into the perimeter, four men and one woman.

Seeing Lu Ye land and head alone into the infamous Black Tide Forbidden Land, the five-member team was wide-eyed!
