Chapter 669: Mission Failed
er, holding the handleless short knife he used as his weapon.The power of the magic weapon is still a bit lacking. It was just blown away by a cultivator of the same level with a single punch. Althoug...The mysterious woman didn't care who or what, she forcefully snatched the melon and demanded, "Sweet or not" Seeing Lu Ye refuse to comply, she let out a cold snort. With a flick of her long sword, it transformed into a flurry of sword light, enveloping Lu Ye.
Lü Ye felt immense pressure, his secret art of the eyes reaching its peak in this instant. The Pianshan Dao in his hand slashed, hacked, and parried continuously, the clash of blades producing a piercing sound that echoed endlessly.
He was taken aback.
This woman's strength is a bit outrageous.
He had previously killed someone at the eighth level of the Yunhe realm. Although he had YiyI's help back then, even without her, his own potential could have achieved that level, just needing more time and resources.
In other words, he is now qualified to fight against a cultivator at the Cloud River Ninth Layer, even if he cannot win, he can still hold on for a while.

It seems the opponent wasn't giving it their all. This woman is a swordsman, and a swordsman's strongest weapon is their flying sword, not this kind of close-quarters combat.

The icy blade shattered into pieces, Lu Ye froze in place. A sharp sword pressed against his forehead, the cold touch sending shivers down his spine, along with a damp sensation trickling from his brow.
Her expression behind the mask was unreadable, but Lu Ye could feel the icy chill emanating from her.
I am inferior to others in skill, there's really nothing to say. If the other party truly wanted to take my life just now, I'm afraid I would have already died.
At this point, if you insist on being stubborn, you might really get knocked unconscious and dragged back to the Kyushu. It's better to simply surrender. You'll just have to postpone your trip to the Hundred Battle Tower by a month.
She hurriedly took a few steps back, widening the distance between herself and Lu Ye, as if afraid of accidentally hurting him.
"What's wrong" Lu Ye frowned and asked.
The mysterious woman remained silent, but what happened next left Lu Ye speechless.
Just as if an invisible seal had been broken, the woman's disordered breath rose and fell erratically. It surged upwards abruptly, shattering the boundaries of the Cloud River Realm cultivator in a blink of an eye.
This scene was so familiar, it reminded Lu Ye of the scene he encountered at the Tianji Merchant Alliance a few days ago.
That day, while he was queuing in the Tiangji Hall of Tianjishangmeng, he was attacked by several cultivators from Wanmo Ridge. As a result, a manager from Tianjishangmeng suddenly stepped in and killed those people with lightning speed.
As for what was happening at the time, the situation was exactly the same as with the woman before my eyes...
Those who seemed like cultivators of the Yunhe realm suddenly erupted with the aura and power of a Zhenhu realm expert!
This mysterious woman isn't a Yunhe realm cultivator at all, but someone above the Yunhe realm.
"Are you from the Heavenly Mechanism Merchant Alliance" Lu Ye exclaimed in surprise.
As far as he knew, only the members of the Heavenly Machine Merchant Alliance possessed such uncanny ability. They could arrive at the Yunhe Battlefield with cultivation exceeding that of the Yunhe Realm and unleash their true power within a short period.
"Return to the Nine Continents!" The woman gritted her teeth and instructed Lu Ye, her voice strained as if struggling against something. After she finished speaking, the entire space around her suddenly twisted and vanished.

If it weren't for the lingering fragrance still around his nose, Lu Ye would almost think that what just happened was an illusion.
What's going on
Lu Ye was truly at a loss.
Since I met this mysterious woman, everything has felt strange.
The other party suddenly appeared and made a move, opening a gap in the encirclement for themselves to escape. They then led him to a hidden mountain cave where a teleportation array still remained. Having arrived here through that teleportation array, there was also a Heavenly Machine Pillar already set up!
Whether it's a transmission array or a heavenly machine pillar, they are not methods that ordinary people can possess. The former requires a strong foundation in formation dao, while the latter requires a huge amount of capital.
The mysterious woman's attitude towards him was lukewarm, even impatient at times. This contradicted her actions of risking her life to save Lu Ye, but she did say that she was only following orders.
As for whose orders Lu Ye was following, he had no idea.
Gradually, Lu Ye felt as if he had touched upon something he had never considered before. These things were far more complex than he imagined, and not something someone at his level, a fifth-level Cloud River Realm cultivator, should have access to.
Lu Ye frowned, gazing at the place where the woman had disappeared.
It wasn't until then that he suddenly realized a problem.
Perhaps that woman… might not be from the Tianji Trading Alliance.
Members of the Tianji Merchant Alliance never interfere in disputes and grudges between cultivators. This allows them to maintain an aloof position throughout the Nine Regions. Perhaps this is due to the influence of Tianji. It is precisely because of Tianji's gift that they possess abilities that other cultivators lack.
For example, a cultivator who has surpassed the Yunhe realm entering the Yunhe Battlefield could erupt with their true strength in a short period of time.
If that woman was from the Sky Machine Commerce Alliance, she would never come to save me. Otherwise, it would violate the Sky Machine Commerce Alliance's long-standing neutral stance and lead to punishment from the Sky Machine.
Can anyone other than members of the Heavenly Machine Commerce Alliance wield such methods
And judging from the only clues Lu Ye could glean from under the woman's eyes, there was an organization behind her...
The transmission array before us and the Heavenly Pivot Pillar are both creations of this organization. Only one organization possesses such immense power and resources.
What kind of mysterious organization is this
The woman wore a mask, concealing her features. She was clearly afraid of being recognized, which means the other party must be quite well-known. If her true identity were exposed, it would be easy for people to find out who she was.
Lu Ye wasn't sure how high her cultivation level was, but at the very least she was a True Lake Realm cultivator.
As for her final disappearance...
This is also Lu Ye's main reason for judging that the other party was not from the Tianji Merchant Alliance.
This cultivation world seems to have many things that low-level cultivators can't access, or even dare not imagine...
It is said that only cultivators from the Yunhe Realm can enter the Yunhe Battlefield, while other cultivators are forbidden.
In just under half a month, Lu Ye had already met two cultivators who surpassed the Yunhe Realm.
No wonder I've always felt that the mysterious woman's strength was unbelievably powerful; it turns out she has a foundation far exceeding the Yunhe realm.

Although the other party came to rescue him, they undoubtedly also took some risks. No matter how strong their background is, on this Yunhe battlefield, they can only use the methods of the Yunhe realm. If they are surrounded by many people, there will be danger as well.
This time, while rescuing himself, he also exposed a hidden location and the teleportation formation there. No matter what organization the woman is behind, this time they have suffered losses.
Although 陸葉 didn't want to speculate maliciously about others, the other party's actions were so sneaky that it was hard not to be wary.
Regardless of the nature or purpose of the mysterious organization behind that woman, since she rescued me, she must have her own agenda.
Maybe they saw potential in me.
It's no wonder that in the cultivation world of Kyushu, where talents emerge as generations change, there are few who can shake the very foundations like Lu Ye did at the Lingxi battlefield. His feats at the Yunhe battlefield further cemented his legendary status.
He has shown his talent, that organization will certainly notice him. This rescue might just be a favor, building some goodwill, so there's no need to tell him anything.
The immediate crisis was over, the mysterious woman desperately wanted to force Lu Ye back to the Nine States. Unfortunately, things didn't go as planned. Lu Ye didn't return to the Nine States, and as a result, the other party was ostracized from the Yunhe battlefield.stments, he was putting in every effort to digest the information flooding his mind, lessening the burden on his soul.His eyes were bloodshot, and his temples throbbed, bulging as if something was wri...
