As Huang Liang narrated the entire story outside the hut, Lu Ye learned about what had happened under the Heavenly Gully.
Blood Boundary, the Blood Lord, and the many Blood Race members that emerged from the blood sea were inconceivable to him.
There were Humans and Mutants in Jiu Zhou, and it was the same case in Soaring Dragon Boundary and Myriad Beast Domain. Generally speaking, Humans could co-exist peacefully with the Mutants.
After all, many Mutants evolved from Spirit Beasts.
Other than these two Races, Lu Ye was only aware of insectoids.
However, a Race without any sentience like them would only bring destruction and slaughter with them.
Now, there was the Blood Race.
Compared to the insectoids, there was no doubt the Blood Race was more threatening. That was because they weren’t so different from Humans apart from their Race.
They had the same level of sentience as Humans, and they could even cultivate. When Outsiders like them arrived at Soaring Dragon Boundary, they were a huge threat to this world.
“The Heavenly Sage said he’d found the path ahead, but he had only invited some Outsiders. Now, the allied forces have suffered immense losses, and the martial world in Soaring Dragon Boundary is in danger. He’s the biggest sinner in history!” Huang Liang appeared distraught.
The conflicts between the martial world and the Heavenly Gully Cult were merely internal strife. However, they had to deal with some invaders now.
It was fine for people like them in the same world to fight each other. Who would’ve thought that the Heavenly Sage would do such a thing?
“Little friend, please save the cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary!” All of a sudden, Huang Liang bent his back and saluted Lu Ye.
In the past few days, he had been recuperating and communicating with Lu Ye. Even though he wasn’t sure if the latter was the saviour, the young man had indeed built the Grand Ward in the Valley of Medicine.
The Grand Ward was unlike any ward found in Soaring Dragon Boundary.
Now, the allied forces were on the losing side as they were hunted down by both Blood Race members and the Cult members. Without any external help, none of them could leave Xue Zhou alive.
Huang Liang could certainly go there on his own, but there was nothing much he could do.
If the allied forces were destroyed in Xue Zhou, the martial world in Soaring Dragon Boundary would suffer immense losses. Perhaps this war alone would cause irreversible damage to this world.
The Valley of Medicine was their last hope.
To pay for the medical expenses, Lu Ye built such an amazing Grand Ward. However, soon after that, a turn of events took place in Soaring Dragon Boundary.
The coincidence made Huang Liang feel that the outcome had something to do with the world’s luck.
Lu Ye must’ve been blessed with the world’s luck, which made him set up the Grand Ward that could possibly save the world in advance. There was no doubt he was the saviour!
Therefore, when the allied forces were hunted down, Huang Liang could only pin his hopes on Lu Ye. To put it more accurately, he hoped the Grand Ward in the valley would save them.
Lu Ye understood what the man was trying to say, but he shook his head. “Sect Master Huang, you should’ve asked the owner of this place instead of me.”
“I’m fine with that.” The Divine Healer was heard speaking from behind as she stepped forward. “The Valley of Medicine will be the first to be impacted by the anomaly at the Heavenly Gully. If the allied forces are destroyed, we won’t stay alive either. We can only save ourselves by saving others. But…”
She turned to look at Lu Ye. “Although the Grand Ward is abstruse, no one in this place is well-versed in the Way of Wards. As such, I need you to control it.”
Lu Ye nodded. “Sure.”
“Thanks, little friend and fellow cultivator.” Huang Liang saluted them again before sending a message in a hurry. In fact, he had already sent a message to Kui Yuanshan and told him to bring their people to the Valley of Medicine when talking about the situation under the Heavenly Gully. At that time, he hadn’t yet gotten permission from Lu Ye and the Divine Healer. Anyway, it wasn’t too late to make up for his mistake.
“How’s Liuli?” Lu Ye asked while Huang Liang was busy.
The Divine Healer replied, “She’s in a stable condition now, but it’s difficult to solve her problem.”
“Fellow cultivator, is there a connection between Liuli’s birthmark and the Heavenly Gully?”
The Divine Healer looked in Heavenly Gully’s direction and put on a helpless smile. “It beats me. When your Father brought her to see me back then, I thought of the Heavenly Gully the moment I saw the birthmark on her back. I felt it was merely a coincidence. In fact, I still held onto that thought before today. After all, the Heavenly Gully and Ye Liuli are two different things. How is it possible that there’s a connection between them? But now…”
Although she didn’t finish her words, her message was clear. Just like Lu Ye, she thought that Ye Liuli’s birthmark must have something to do with the Heavenly Gully. Otherwise, such a coincidence wouldn’t have existed.
The moment an anomaly happened at the Heavenly Gully, it perfectly reflected on Ye Liuli’s birthmark.
“But what’s the connection between them?” The Divine Healer looked doubtfully at Lu Ye.
[Why are you asking me the same question that I had just asked you?]
Lu Ye looked away.
“In that case, we have to settle the Heavenly Gully if we want to cure her illness.”
He felt his heart growing heavier.
It was easier said than done. Who could possibly settle the Heavenly Gully?
No one even knew why the Heavenly Gully had appeared, let alone settle it.
Certainly, from what they had gathered, the appearance of the Heavenly Gully must have something to do with the Blood Race. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have emerged from the Heavenly Gully.
[Perhaps I can deal with this issue by confronting the Blood Race first.] Lu Ye fell into his thoughts.
As an Outsider, he wasn’t the real Ye Six, so his bond with Ye Liuli wasn’t very strong. However, since his identity was Ye Six, he had to behave and act like him.
The real Ye Six wouldn’t avoid such a problem. Therefore, he had to directly deal with it.
Also, there was the Dragon Throne.
Zhuang Bufan took the chance to shine in the last moments of his life and showed Lu Ye the power as well as the danger of the Dragon Throne. Lu Ye initially thought it was the opportunity that came to him after he acquired the world’s luck. Now, it seemed that underneath the opportunity, there was also a responsibility he had to take on.
When the world was in danger, a divine item like the Dragon Throne appeared all of a sudden. Then, it fell into Lu Ye’s hands by chance. Was it merely a coincidence?
Perhaps there was an invisible force that had made all of these happen.
He had no idea how powerful the Blood Race was, but he knew that the Dragon Throne was mighty. However, it wasn’t easy to make use of this powerful external force.
If he couldn’t control it well, he would be destroyed. What happened to Zhuang Bufan served as an example.
All of a sudden, Huang Liang leapt into the sky and shot forward. His voice could be heard coming from afar. “I’ll go over and bring them here. Please get prepared, little friend!”
He had been getting the Divine Healer’s treatment for the past few days, so he was generally fine now. The reason he didn’t leave earlier was that he was interested in finding out more about Lu Ye, so he decided to stay there and observe him. Secondly, the allied forces were mighty enough to destroy Heavenly Gully Cult, so there wasn’t a need for him to be present.
Nevertheless, the allied forces were hunted down now. As such, he had to go over and lend them a hand.
“This place is supposed to be a sanctuary for the injured, but it’ll soon become a place filled with blood.” The Divine Healer sighed as her plump chest heaved. Although Lu Ye looked at the front, he still caught sight of her heaving chest.
“We can save ourselves by saving others, and killing the enemies is also a way of saving others,” Lu Ye replied nonchalantly. “Fellow cultivator, please take your assistants and Liuli with you and hide somewhere.”
The Divine Healer nodded. “Thanks for everything. Please stay safe.”
Then, she turned around and left, but she soon stopped in her tracks and said, “Did you know that the Dragon Throne is divided into two parts?”
Lu Ye turned to look at her with a doubtful expression.
“The first part is the Dragon King Armour, which is the one in your hands. There’s also the Dragon Spine Saber. In fact, the Dragon Spine Saber had already appeared two thousand years ago, and someone had acquired it. However, the saber seemed to have a spirituality of its own as it was ferocious. It has been suppressed by one of the top great forces. Over the years, the top great force has been trying to solve the ferocity in the saber, but their effort is futile.”
Only the three hegemons had the right to be called top great forces by the Divine Healer.
The three Sects seemed to have their respective ways to deal with the ferocity of the weapon.
Grandeur Academy had Grandeur Qi, Vajra Temple had Buddhist chants, and the Imperial Sects had abstruse Sect Techniques. As for which one of them had been suppressing the divine item, Lu Ye had no idea.
When Huang Liang talked about the Dragon Throne in the past, he didn’t mention Dragon King Armour and Dragon Spine Saber. That was why Lu Ye thought that the Dragon Throne was the thing in his hands.
As he recalled it, Huang Liang appeared hesitant when speaking and didn’t finish his words, which was why he was displeased.
Now, it seemed that Huang Liang had been hiding the information about Dragon Spine Saber.
From his perspective, it was only natural that he’d hide something from Lu Ye. Since time immemorial, the appearance of the Dragon Throne would cause Soaring Dragon Boundary to descend into turmoil every time.
Before finding out Lu Ye’s temperament, Huang Liang naturally wouldn’t tell him everything. If Lu Ye turned out to have some ill intentions, he would go looking for Dragon Spine Saber after acquiring Dragon King Armour, and that would be troublesome.
[Vajra Temple!]
The thought suddenly sprang into Lu Ye’s mind. He had a feeling that Dragon Spine Saber might be inside Vajra Temple.
That was because compared to the techniques of Grandeur Academy and the Imperial Sect, the Buddhist chants of Vajra Temple focused on solving instead of suppressing the ferocity.
“Why are you telling me all this suddenly?” Lu Ye squinted and looked at the Divine Healer.
The woman didn’t tell him about it previously, but she did that after Huang Liang was gone. Despite her nonchalance, it was apparent that she had intentionally done it.
The Divine Healer replied, “I don’t have any agenda. I suppose that since you’re a saber user, you might be interested in Dragon Spine Saber. Perhaps the Dragon Throne will have an owner this time.”
She then stepped into the hut and carried Ye Liuli before leaving the building. Following that, she told her assistants to come together. With Yi Yi leading the way, they hid inside the Defensive Grand Ward.
Inside the Valley of Medicine, only Lu Ye stood there on his own. Amber crouched down on his shoulder as the tiger looked in the distance with its sharp gaze.
After settling the Divine Healer and the others down, Yi Yi returned and snuck under the ground, ready to fight at any moment.
The wind was heard howling.
Lu Ye fell deep in thought, but there came a moment when he snapped back to reality after hearing Amber growl. He looked in the distance and saw many rays of light anxiously flying towards the valley. Behind them were bolts of blood light breaking through the air.
Both parties arrived at the same time!
