Chapter 654
Lu Ye's True Colors?! How can this person be so young?!
We're both at the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, so why am I not number one?!
Shocked, Qin Xiao's expression changed drastically.
Thinking back to the square, after being stared at by two eyes, I felt utterly humiliated...
Amidst the turmoil, Qin Xiao's face turned pale, and blood rushed to his head!
Fortunately, at the last moment, Qin Xiao managed to hold back and suppress the surge of blood, maintaining his dignity to the very end.
Suddenly, Qin Xiao remembered what the Nine Mysterious Saintess had said earlier…
She said... she might not even be able to win first place?!
At the time, I thought it was just a joke, but now I wonder if she knew something?
The square was already in an uproar.
"No, Qin Xiao is also at the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm, and he still can't win?"
"Isn't the result clear? His name is stuck at second place, which is obviously not enough to surpass Chen Beixuan."
"It's unbelievable that Qin Xiao, who comes from the Witch God Sect, was suppressed by someone of the same cultivation level without any surprise!"
Everyone was shocked and amazed. Before this result, at least more than half of the cultivators had been optimistic about Qin Xiao.
Among the cultivators present, perhaps only the Nine Mysterious Saintess was not surprised by this result at all.
Their fourth level of the Heavenly Realm is at least more solid than that of ordinary fifth or sixth level Heavenly Realm cultivators!
A moment later, amidst Qin Xiao's grim expression, the feedback from the second-ranked person on the stone tablet list arrived, enveloping him.
Inside the carriage, the Nine Mysterious Saintess pondered for a moment, then said in a clear voice, "Let's go."
...
the other side.
After getting away from the somewhat dangerous woman from Wuzhou, Lu Ye arrived at a quiet mountain range.
Just then, his communication jade tablet also made a sound.
It was Ji Ruxue who sent the message, and she also told Lu Ye about Qin Xiao's recent success on the list.
"He also made it onto the list? He's also at the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm?"
And they even failed to make the list...
Lu Ye was not surprised by this result.
His displayed strength as a fourth-level Heavenly Realm cultivator was actually difficult for even a typical fifth-level Heavenly Realm cultivator to overcome.
After all, the sheer abundance of Origin Qi far surpasses that of a fifth-level Heavenly Realm cultivator.
Not to mention the fourth level of the Heavenly Realm.
Thank you for letting me know. I haven't thanked you yet for what happened before. If it's convenient, I'll be in Wuzhou for the next few days. Miss Ruxue, please feel free to contact me anytime if you need anything.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye replied with a message.
On the other side, Ji Ruxue received Lu Ye's message and was clearly pleasantly surprised after reading it.
Lu Ye is now a powerful expert in the Heavenly Realm, and help from a Heavenly Realm expert is undoubtedly very valuable!
After a moment's thought, Ji Ruxue gritted her teeth; she was indeed in trouble now...
We definitely need some help.
A moment later, a message reached Lu Ye.
In the mountains.
After looking at the latest news, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and ended his cultivation.
In this message, Ji Ruxue said that there was indeed something she needed Lu Ye's help with.
However, whether or not to take action is still uncertain.
It was a matter in which she, representing the Chamber of Commerce, went to exchange treasures with a faction in Wuzhou.
If the other party follows the rules in everything, then everything will be fine.
And if the other party has some ulterior motives... Seeing this, Lu Ye naturally understood.
At this moment, Ji Ruxue and the others were still in Wuyuan City. Lu Ye left the mountain range in an instant and returned to that ancient city.
Thinking about his face, he realized that although he moved quickly in Wuyuan City, some people had seen it, which made things difficult for him.
Halfway there, Lu Ye changed Chen Beixuan's appearance.
This time, he didn't use any other mask; he used his original appearance.
He looks even younger than when Chen Beixuan was born.
After entering the city gate, Lu Ye, having removed his disguise, did not attract any attention and entered the city smoothly. A moment later, he arrived at the courtyard where Ji Ruxue and the others were staying.
"Having money is convenient; one can even buy a courtyard in Wuzhou to settle down."
Lu Ye looked at the courtyard, which wasn't small in size, and smiled.
Less than a minute later, Ji Ruxue, having received the message, quickly came out and looked around...
But after looking around, she was stunned. There was no sign of Chen Beixuan outside.
There was a very young man, but he was not a face that Ji Ruxue was familiar with.
"Huh, where did everyone go..."
"Miss Ruxue." Seeing Ji Ruxue looking around, Lu Ye smiled and spoke.
Ji Ruxue was stunned, her gaze shifting to Lu Ye...
Although her appearance had changed, Ji Ruxue was undeniably familiar with that voice!
"You...you...please come in with me."
Ji Ruxue came to her senses and quickly led Lu Ye into the courtyard.
At the gate, the two guards looked at Miss Ji, who was hurriedly leading the man into the courtyard, with some curiosity.
This seemed to be the first time they had ever seen such a shocked expression on Ji Ruxue's face...
Of course, since Ji Ruxue hasn't visited Wuyuan City very often, it's possible that they lack experience.
Leading Lu Ye into the house, they walked until they reached a quiet courtyard, where Ji Ruxue finally stopped, unable to resist any longer…
She began to look at the man in front of her with a mixture of strangeness and curiosity. He was someone she had never seen before, yet she seemed to recognize.
"You...you are really Senior Chen Beixuan?" Ji Ruxue asked softly after watching for a while.
"What do you think?" Lu Ye smiled and asked in return.
Upon hearing the voice again, Ji Ruxue confirmed it; there was no mistake, it was indeed that man!
"You've disguised yourself?" Ji Ruxue asked in a low voice.
The commotion was indeed quite large, with at least 100,000 people witnessing the event. To reduce trouble, Ji Ruxue felt that disguising herself was a good solution.
"Is it possible that your previous identity was fake?" Lu Ye smiled faintly.
Reaching the ninth level of the Heavenly Realm means being among the top cultivators, even in Wuzhou.
Regarding his identity, Lu Ye was no longer as certain as before, and he absolutely could not reveal it.
The reason this name was used on the list is mostly because it's become a habit.
Furthermore, once he has reached the top of all seven star stone tablets, Lu Ye will change all his names to Lu Ye.
"what?"
Upon hearing this, Ji Ruxue was stunned.
So, Chen Beixuan, who is currently famous throughout Wuzhou, is actually an alias?!
This was something Ji Ruxue hadn't expected at all, mainly because... the man in front of her looked even younger than Chen Beixuan!
Ji Ruxue even doubted whether he was actually thirty years old after all this cultivation.
Lu Ye asked, "Tell me, what kind of force are you trading with? What is the approximate level of the strongest person they can offer?"
Upon hearing Lu Ye bring up serious matters, Ji Ruxue's expression immediately turned serious. (End of Chapter)
