Chapter 592: Chapter 590: Is the Demon Burial Plain Becoming Unstable? Lu Ye: We’re Heading Straight for the Forbidden Land
"I... I’m not human! I shouldn’t choose to backstab my friend just for such trivial things."
Liu Yun’s face began to reveal a sorrowful expression.
"In fact, I started to regret it after I acted, Elder Chen... can you give me a chance to atone for my sins?"
This last sentence was Liu Yun’s main point.
Lu Ye was indifferent to these words, he wasn’t aware of being wrong, he just knew... he was about to die.
Thunk!
A Mountain Splitting Finger directly penetrated Liu Yun’s head, reflecting his lingering unwillingness and resentment in his gaze, and glanced at Lu Ye and Xiao Jian who had already fallen ahead of time.
Liu Yun’s body, freed from Lu Ye’s domain, quickly plummeted from high above.
In a matter of moments, two cultivators in Earth Realm fell not far outside the Demon Burial Plain.
Qing Yu’s voice was somewhat wistful: "To be able to divulge such information to Liu Yun, these two people must have been on good terms previously."
After all, such information is too significant, unless the relationship is bad, it would be impossible to tell an outsider, it would be tightly kept secret.
"Indeed, but it’s clear that Liu Yun didn’t consider Xiao Jian a close friend; when he found out Xiao Jian obtained such an opportunity that crossed his friend’s boundaries, he chose to strike." Lu Ye nodded and said.
Looking at the Tian Yuan Divine Fruit in Lu Ye’s hand, Qing Yu realized he had no desire for it at all.
Apparently, the master in his heart held a higher value than this trivial fruit.
Qing Yu immediately felt relieved.
Even if it were a hundred Tian Yuan Divine Fruits, Qing Yu felt they wouldn’t compare to the master.
A moment later, after dealing with Liu Yun and Xiao Jian’s bodies, Lu Ye briefly examined their Storage Rings.
The resources inside were average, with about thirty to fifty Source Crystals each and several unused Earth Realm Elixirs, typical for an Earth Realm cultivator’s assets.
Unless these people came from good backgrounds, their resources would generally be minimal.
After all, cultivation always uses up a portion each time.
"Peaceful Realm within Yun Province..."
Considering the words of the fallen Earth Realm Sixth Layer, Lu Ye pondered.
He indeed hasn’t visited Yun Province yet; after he’s done with Wu Province, he certainly plans to go.
Then, he could help Xiao Jian check on his Dao companion and fulfill his wish.
A moment later, just as Lu Ye was about to leave with Qing Yu, someone unexpectedly approached.
This time, it wasn’t pursuit but someone who had seen Xiao Jian and Liu Yun fleeing rapidly in this direction.
Hence, two Mortal Realm Grandmasters from the Western Territory, wanted to come and see what was happening.
"Greetings, fellow Taoists. I wonder if you have seen two cultivators, one pursuing and one escaping, around here?" One of the Mortal Realm Fifth Layer clasped his fist and asked Lu Ye and Qing Yu.
At this time, Lu Ye did not reveal his aura, nor did Qing Yu; both acted as if they were merely passing through the Demon Burial Plain.
Yet daring to pass through here instead of avoiding it showed they likely had decent cultivation, young cultivators.
The two glanced at Lu Ye and Qing Yu, immediately having the same thought...
What a pair of talented and fair figures.
Although transforming into the appearance of Chen Beixuan was naturally inferior to his original form, Lu Ye exuded an aura of calm and composure.
As for Qing Yu, she was originally the most outstanding among the Jiang Family maids, indeed the most striking within the Cloud Leaf City family.
Now stepping onto the path of cultivation, she had changed remarkably.
"Saw them; they went over there." After a thought, Lu Ye pointed in the direction Xiao Jian initially intended to flee to, choosing a lesser issue over more.
After all... couldn’t very well say that he saw them, but both have already fallen, one of them by his own hand.
That would be unsuitable.
Upon seeing the direction Lu Ye pointed, the two Mortal Realm Grandmasters looked over and felt it seemed correct.
The tunneling light they saw before indeed headed that way.
"Thank you, this is outside the Demon Burial Plain. If you two have no urgent matters, it’s best not to stay here long; the Demon Burial Plain has been quite unrestful lately." One of them addressed Lu Ye before leaving first.
The other followed immediately.
At this moment, Lu Ye’s expression condensed slightly; the Demon Burial Plain isn’t peaceful lately? In what way?
He remembered that deep within the Demon Burial Plain, underground, a Celestial Demon Divine Sect Elder-level figure was imprisoned.
This was the most prominent figure he’d encountered from the Celestial Demon Divine Sect so far.
Lu Ye was somewhat interested in the Demon Burial Plain, immediately turning back with Qing Yu towards it.
As for the two Mortal Realm Grandmasters’ advice not to go...
It’s precisely to the Demon Burial Plain!
Elsewhere, the two Western Territory Mortal Realm Grandmasters had traveled over a hundred miles forward.
Still, there was no other sign of disturbance.
The slightly stronger Mortal Realm Fifth Layer suddenly said: "By the way, when we were over there, did you smell any scent? I felt there was a slight scent of blood."
The Western Territory Mortal Realm Fourth Layer nodded in agreement: "I smelled it too. Was something happening over there beforehand..."
Upon hearing this, the expression of the Mortal Realm Fifth Layer became somewhat uneasy.
"No... not right, after we chased a hundred miles, there wasn’t any scent of blood, unlike that area, and along our previous pursuit route, there appeared to be similar smells."
"This indicates someone in the tunneling light beforehand was injured, and the last area the scent appeared... was where those two young people were."
Quickly deducing this, the Mortal Realm Fifth Layer abruptly said: "Could it be... those two are actually concealed in that area, not moving?!"
It couldn’t be helped; the two tunneling lights certainly felt stronger than himself.
And how old were those two young men and woman?
They certainly seemed under thirty.
Saying those two youths resolved the cultivators from earlier tunneling lights... that was hard to believe.
It’s more believable that they possibly landed and started playing hide and seek in that area.
"Shall we go back and check?"
In a flash, the two reached a consensus.
Being Mortal Realm Grandmasters, returning to the previous area took a very short time.
Now, that area was empty, with the earlier two youths now long gone.
Perhaps they heeded their previous advice to choose to stay away from the recently restless Demon Burial Plain’s forbidden land.
"It’s precisely here... though the blood scent is faint, it disappeared after leaving here!"
