Chapter 488: Chapter 486: Lu Ye: You Don’t Want to Live? Former Red Cloud Fairy: You... Saw Through That Too?

"Why is she in the Black Tide Forbidden Land, fighting with fierce beasts..."

Lu Ye slightly furrowed his brow, looking at the distant battlefield.

That female cultivator’s techniques were quite skilled; even when facing a Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast, she could still hold her ground, almost without falling behind.

However...

With Lu Ye’s current vision, he could tell that, in truth, there was some disparity between the female cultivator and the Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast.

Moreover, for some reason, she seemed unable to exert her full strength.

So, while it currently appeared to be a balanced situation, as soon as that female cultivator showed a flaw...

The outcome would be very dangerous!

That female cultivator was none other than the former Red Cloud Fairy who had previously sent Lu Ye congratulations on advancing to the Earth Realm.

Lu Ye never expected that upon seeing her again, she would be deep within the Black Tide Forbidden Land, battling fiercely with a beast, seemingly vying for something.

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye swept towards her direction.

Soon, as Lu Ye approached, the Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast was the first to notice him coming, initially intending to scare away this human.

But at this time, Lu Ye did not conceal his aura.

Instantly, the previously fierce and mighty Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast let out a frightened scream.

It no longer paid any attention to the former Red Cloud Fairy in front of it, turning and fleeing in an instant.

My Beast God... where did such a terrifying two-legged human come from!

Xiao Qingyin, who was fully focused and striving to fight against this Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast, found her opponent inexplicably dashed away, as if suddenly frightened by something terrible, leaving her slightly stunned.

In the midst of battle, she herself sensed it.

She could not take down this Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast in a short time, and she could not obtain the Tier Five Early Stage Spirit Medicine guarded by the beast.

The final choice, aside from retreating now and using the beast’s need to guard the Spirit Medicine to quickly escape...

Was to fight to the death, without retreat, and at this moment, Xiao Qingyin happened to choose the second option.

After hearing about Lu Ye’s advancement, Xiao Qingyin’s mind underwent great changes.

Unexpectedly, a blessing in disguise, she broke through the barrier of Grandmaster Ninth Layer, successfully entering the Ninth Layer Realm.

She was now only a step away from the highly coveted Mortal Realm Grandmaster.

This was completely unexpected for Xiao Qingyin; prior to leaving the Red Cloud Sect, no matter how she cultivated, her advancement seemed sluggish, but after leaving, her mentality changed, and everything was different.

Even so, Xiao Qingyin’s emotions remained complex.

After all, to her, the former Red Cloud Sect was a place she wanted to strive for all her life.

Yet, because of her choice, she sent away a Stabilizing Needle that could support the sect for ages...

So, a resolute former Red Cloud Fairy entered the Black Tide Forbidden Land with determination.

Soon after, she encountered an about-to-mature Tier Five Spirit Medicine deep within.

With a mindset of either success or martyrdom, Xiao Qingyin directly started a battle with the Guardian Fierce Beast.

If successful, she could naturally obtain the Spirit Medicine, which would help her break through to the Mortal Realm Grandmaster; if unsuccessful... there would be no future.

The Black Tide Forbidden Land would be her burial ground.

Now, with her opponent fleeing, Xiao Qingyin finally sensed a living presence swiftly approaching from behind.

Turning her head...

Xiao Qingyin’s eyes widened, almost suspecting she was hallucinating.

How could it possibly be him?!

He could be anywhere, but definitely shouldn’t be in the Black Tide Forbidden Land...

With this, Xiao Qingyin couldn’t help but rub her eyes.

Seeing this absurd action, Lu Ye, who was approaching from the opposite direction, helplessly shook his head.

"It’s really you?! How can you be in the Black Tide Forbidden Land..."

Moments later, finding the figure in front of her still real and not disappearing like a mirage, Xiao Qingyin was stunned and asked.

"I came because I wanted to; why are you in the Forbidden Land?" Lu Ye replied calmly, directly questioning in return.

"Did you not realize you actually aren’t a match for that Tier Four Peak Fierce Beast?"

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

Could she say... how could she possibly not be aware?

Only...

After a moment of silence, Xiao Qingyin nodded and said, "I realized it, it is indeed stronger than me."

"So, you fought to the death without retreating; don’t you want to live?" After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked.

Asking this, Lu Ye was merely puzzled; could this former Red Cloud Fairy really not see that perseverance in a deadly battle was basically a death trap?

Unexpectedly, Xiao Qingyin was silent for a moment again and actually nodded, "You saw through that, did you..."

Lu Ye: "???"

Not that he just casually said it and directly hit the nail on the head?!

If only he had this talent in the college entrance exam in his previous life... that would have been something.

"You really don’t want to live anymore?"

Lu Ye looked a bit odd; how did things turn so bleak, curiosity filling his mind.

At this moment, a delightful fragrance suddenly wafted from the side, making one feel the Source Qi flow within seemed to slightly accelerate.

Lu Ye looked up and saw a matured Tier Five Spirit Medicine, its fragrance the source of the scent.

"The beast fled because of your arrival; take that Spirit Medicine," Xiao Qingyin calmly said after glancing at it.

"So you were fighting for this Spirit Medicine; no wonder you don’t seem like someone who mindlessly picks fights with Tier Four Peak Fierce Beasts," Lu Ye nodded with some understanding and said.

Xiao Qingyin: "..."

Why did she feel like Lu Ye was subtly criticizing her?

After a pause, Lu Ye continued, "It’s of no use to me; you can go ahead and pick it."

He had plenty of Tier Five Spirit Medicine stored in his Storage Ring.

Currently, he couldn’t use them; they were mainly kept for Jiang Lingyue and others.

Seeing Lu Ye say this, knowing that to him now, one Tier Five Spirit Medicine indeed meant nothing at all.

Swiftly moving to the newly matured Spirit Medicine, Xiao Qingyin plucked it.

"Thanks, I couldn’t have defeated that beast without you."

"Why did you come to the Forbidden Land, were you searching for something?" Xiao Qingyin asked.

"No, I just came for a stroll," Lu Ye shook his head.

The Forbidden Land barely had Spirit Medicine beyond Tier Five; Tier Five was typically the peak, with Tier Six extremely rare, and Lu Ye hadn’t seen a single one.

So entering just for a look wasn’t inaccurate.
