Chapter 98: Chapter 79 Taoist Skill Nature_2
Lu Yi and Li Donglai had not yet left the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range when they turned their heads to look in the direction of the previous battle.
Li Donglai let out a sigh of relief and said, “It’s over, it seems that the devil cultivator from the Blood Spirit Sect has escaped.”
Lu Yi expressed his regret: “It’s a pity that we didn’t manage to kill him.”
Li Donglai laughed: “Nascent Soul Cultivators are mostly prodigies of rare talent, how could they be so easily killed?”
Lu Yi nodded slightly, knowing that those who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage generally had a certain degree of talent; those without it would have been eliminated at an earlier realm.
Afterward, the two continued on their journey.
When they arrived at the city gate, they found it crowded with many people.
There at the gate, Lu Yi saw Elder Yu and Nangong Moyu. Apart from them, there were other disciples from the White Cloud Sect, with many corpses laid out on the ground, as well as quite a few injured people. Moreover, inside the city gate, many more people were continuously hurrying over.
Li Donglai whispered, “These are the cultivators who entered the trap earlier! There are cultivators from my Li Family!”
Lu Yi nodded: “Senior, let’s go over and take a look.”
Li Donglai nodded and walked over.
Noticing Lu Yi and Li Donglai coming over, Yu Lufei and Nangong Moyu both looked their way.
Upon seeing Lu Yi, Nangong Moyu’s expression changed slightly and he quickly stepped forward, his concern clearly overflowing: “Junior Brother, why didn’t you heed the advice and still entered the mountain range?”
Lu Yi smiled: “I thought about Senior Li being in the mountains, and I couldn’t be at ease, so I went to take a look. Brother, you know my strength; as long as I don’t encounter a Golden Core, there shouldn’t be any problems.”
Li Donglai watched the two converse, a bit puzzled as he looked at Lu Yi. All this time, he had no idea of Lu Yi’s identity, only knew that Lu Yi was a genius with exceptional talent.
Li Donglai had even thought of betrothing the most outstanding girl in his family to him, but to his surprise, Lu Yi turned out to be a disciple of the White Cloud Sect?
Li Donglai hastily bowed to Yu Lufei and Nangong Moyu: “I have seen Elder Yu, I have seen Taoist Nangong. Young friend Lu Yi saved my life, I am eternally grateful.”
Yu Lufei glanced at Li Donglai: “Kiddo Lu is the Direct Disciple of the Ling Luo Peak Master; if something had happened to him, your Li Family couldn’t bear the responsibility.”
Hearing this, Li Donglai’s pupils shrank slightly, looking at Lu Yi in astonishment: “So young friend Lu Yi is the Direct Disciple of that person, no wonder he possesses such talent and strength.”
Lu Yi smiled helplessly: “Senior, you should go see your family’s people first.”
Li Donglai nodded, bowed to Lu Yi again, and then walked toward the direction of the injured.
Yu Lufei helplessly looked at Lu Yi: “Kiddo Lu, you’ve really acted recklessly this time. A Golden Core from the Li Family can’t compare to your preciousness.”
Nangong Moyu also nodded slightly.
Seeing the two of them like this, Lu Yi felt helpless in his heart. He of course understood their concern.
But they didn’t know that even in the presence of a Nascent Soul Cultivator, Lu Yi was confident he could escape. He could only respond helplessly to their words and quickly changed the subject: “Elder Yu, what happened with the devil cultivators from the Blood Spirit Sect?”
Hearing this, Elder Yu’s expression turned cold: “It was also a Nascent Soul who came, and he managed to escape with a few disciples. However, we still captured a few of them.”
Nangong Moyu’s face was also cold as he spoke: “The Blood Spirit Sect has gone too far recently, daring to openly kill our White Cloud Sect’s cultivators within our domain. If we don’t retaliate, what will the cultivators under our rule think of us?”
Elder Yu also had a solemn expression.
Hearing their words, Lu Yi felt a bit heavy in his heart. Once such a situation occurred, it would lead to a battle between the two sects.
Afterward, Lu Yi followed Yu Lufei and Nangong Moyu into the city.
Passing by those corpses, Lu Yi glanced over and paused for a moment; he saw Lin Ting’s body, and beside it, a young man was kneeling, crying out in anguish.
For a while, Lu Yi’s mood became complex.
A few days ago, Lin Ting was still leading him to find the Heavenly Star Grass, and unexpectedly, in just a few days, he had died.
The Cultivation World, like the mortal world, was just as cruel, with death possibly looming at any moment.
Lu Yi’s pausing caught Nangong Moyu’s curious gaze: “Junior Brother, what’s wrong?”
Lu Yi shook his head, smiling: “It’s nothing.”
He shifted his gaze away and did not look any longer.
After Lu Yi returned to his quarters and rested for two days, Nangong Moyu took him out to enjoy themselves.
During that time, Li Donglai also sent over a Heavenly Material known as Purple Gold, which could be used to refine artifacts and was extremely precious even to a Golden Core Cultivator, as a token of thanks for Lu Yi saving his life.
Afterward, Lu Yi bid farewell to Nangong Moyu and spent another half a month roaming the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range before finally returning to the White Cloud Sect.
The next morning, while Lu Yi was in cultivation, he heard a cheerful and clear voice outside: “Senior Brother, Senior Brother! Come out quickly!”
Lu Yi opened his eyes, disappeared from where he was, and opened the door of his Cave Mansion.
Outside, Donggong Ming Yue stood gracefully, wearing the Purple Jade Skirt given to her by Lu Yi, pure and lovely, with skin as clear as jade, a beauty beyond description.
Lu Yi smiled: “Junior Sister, you found out so quickly that Senior Brother has returned?”
Donggong Ming Yue put her hands on her hips, giggling with a bit of pride: “Who let Senior Brother become so famous? Your return spread throughout the sect instantly. I just heard about it while I was out buying Yulan Wine and Yulan Cakes for our Master.”
As she spoke, Donggong Ming Yue began to pour out her grievances: “Senior Brother, why did you stay out for so long? Now I’m the one running errands to buy things for our Master again.”
