Yuk Yaorao personally witnessed the prowess of Lu Ye on the Moon Jade combat field, even the renowned Arbuluo and Gu Sheng were no match, and he easily claimed the top position on the Moon Jade Ranking. Such a person, how many have there been throughout history?

Their acquaintance was formed when they were both in the Divine Sea Realm. Now, one has only reached the level of Constellation, while the other has already become Moon Jade. The vast difference in cultivation and status is indeed insufficient to maintain the shallow friendship of the past.

If it weren't absolutely necessary this time, Yuk Yaorao would not have used the Asura Summoning Token to trouble Lu Ye.

She really had no other suitable candidate.

Although she could have chosen her own senior sect members to summon, her situation was similar to Gui Yi's. Both came from star systems adjacent to the Asura Domain, relying on it for sustenance. Naturally, there were elders training in the Asura Field, but due to the various restrictions of the summoning token, she could only choose elders at the Moon Jade level. And those elders... she didn't think they could handle so many enemies under the premise of suppressed cultivation.

Even if those elders really responded to her summon, it would only be sending them to their deaths!

Only Lu Ye, even when he was in the Divine Sea Realm, he was invincible. Now in the Moon Jade Realm, he remains undefeated. Given this, when he was in the Constellation period, he must have been unparalleled in battle prowess.

It can be said that when she decided to use the Asura Summoning Token, the only face that came to mind was Lu Ye's, and no other.

But she didn't know whether Lu Ye would come, or even if he was willing to come because the number of enemies pursuing her this time was indeed quite overwhelming.

If Lu Ye is unwilling, it would be understandable…

If so, she would have to make a desperate stand. She couldn't emulate Meatball's way; everyone has their own steadfast beliefs that they must defend even if it costs their life.

She quickly relayed the situation, yet received no response from Lu Ye.

In her heart, she was already clear. There was no resentment, no sorrow. She should have died long ago in the Taichu Realm, living these extra years was already a bonus.

Suddenly, spirit force around her erupted, as countless attacks blanketed her hiding place. The formation she had set up casually was annihilated in an instant. Even though she promptly activated a spirit treasure to protect herself, she was immediately overwhelmed by the chaotic onslaught, feeling like a solitary small boat adrift in stormy seas.

Landing in a disheveled manner, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her aura waning instantly.

With an effort, she raised her head only to see shadows amassing all around, almost a hundred of them.

Most of these cultivators were shadows. Only three were real cultivators who were training, opposed to her and Meatball. The rest belonged to forces these three had subdued.

Despite the disparity in their cultivation levels, the sheer number made it impossible for her and Meatball to contend.

Yuk Yaorao's gaze was cold, but when she looked towards a certain direction, that coldness turned abruptly into astonishment: "Senior Sister Yuk Hong, why are you…"

In that direction stood a woman in red attire with a graceful figure, coolly watching her.

The moment their eyes met, Yuk Yaorao's mind was flooded with thoughts, suddenly recalling many things.

Like this training, though there had been some hurdles initially, overall it progressed smoothly. It was only at the last stage that things went awry. It seemed as if the enemy had foreseen her every plan and arrangement, resulting in severe losses to her forces. In their subsequent ambush, only she and Meatball managed to escape.

For instance, Senior Sister Yuk Hong's recent frequent contacts, inquiring about her training situation and advising her to be extra cautious.

Yuk Yaorao's gaze turned to one of deep agony.

"Why?" She slowly stood up, clutching her chest. Compared to her physical wounds, the pain in her heart was much more unbearable.

Yuk Hong looked at her coldly and said, "You shouldn't have survived back then. Do you know how you got that Taichu Realm spot?"

Yuk Yaorao looked at her in confusion, then as if recalling something: "You…"

Yuk Hong suddenly burst into a maniacal laugh: "That's right, it was I who recommended you!" Indeed, the spot in the Taichu Realm was exceedingly rare, occurring only once every hundred years. But to most, it wasn't an appealing opportunity; instead, they avoided it like the plague, due to the immense risk in the Divine Sea battles. Except for cultivators from powerful domains, most who entered were mere foils. The fortunate could exit early; the unlucky perished within.

Yuk Yaorao was heartbroken to the point of suffocation: "Why?"

Why do this? In the sect, Senior Sister Yuk Hong was the one who had treated her the best, yet she had never realized she had never seen her true nature.

"Why?" Yuk Hong's gaze fixed on her, suddenly hysterical: "Why, you ask? The Master was partial to you ever since you returned from the Taichu Realm, but Yuk Gong as well…"

Yuk Yaorao said, "I have already refused Senior Brother! I know about the feelings between you and him, how could I do something that wrongs you?"

"What good is your refusal?" Yuk Hong sneered. "It's only if you die that he will completely give up!"

"Senior Sister, aren't you afraid that Master will find out afterwards…"

Yuk Hong sneered, "Don't be naive. This is the Asura Field. What's the big deal about a few people dying?"

"We're doomed!" On the other side, the captured Meatball looked bitter. She originally thought that as long as she behaved obediently and cooperated a bit, even if she suffered some humiliation, she could at least save her life. But who would have thought there were such schemes involved.

That Yuk Hong was clearly up to no good and would definitely kill her to silence her later.

By then, she was sure to die tragically, and she could almost foresee herself lying naked on the cold ground...

"Do it!" Yuk Hong waved a hand.

A burly man beside her grinned, "Then I won't hold back."

"Do as you please, just remember to kill them afterward!" A trace of disgust flickered in Yuk Hong's eyes. To make these three cooperate with her plan, she had paid a high price.

The burly man stepped forward, spirit force surging, and spread out a fan-like large hand to grab Yuk Yaorao: "Such a beautiful and enchanting thing, truly a supreme rarity!"

Yuk Yaorao's face was panic-stricken, she cast several spells in succession, all easily countered by the opponent. Earlier, she had suffered significant injuries in an ambush, and at this moment her spirit force was running extremely sluggish, making her no match for them.

Thinking of the tragic fate awaiting her if captured, Yuk Yaorao steeled her heart and raised her hand to slap herself on the forehead. This blow gathered all her strength, and she even disabled her spirit force protection. It was foreseeable, if this strike landed, it would result in a fragrance fading and a jade perishing.

A golden light suddenly burst before her eyes.

Yuk Yaorao was taken aback for a moment, then quickly reacted, eyes widened. The hand she was about to slam down was less than three inches from her forehead.

"What's that?" The man reaching out to grab Yuk Yaorao was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, a large hand unexpectedly appeared from within the golden light, meeting his grasping hand.

With a loud thud, amidst the turbulent spirit force, the burly man's expression changed, and he involuntarily retreated a dozen yards.

When he focused his gaze again, an unfamiliar figure had appeared in front of Yuk Yaorao.

It was a young man donned in a mix of red and black, with a long blade on his back.

"Asura Summoning Token!" The burly man was still in surprise when Yuk Hong blurted out the secret.

She knew Yuk Yaorao had an Asura Summoning Token on her, after all, she was Yuk Yaorao's beloved senior sister; what secrets would be hidden from her?

But Yuk Hong had already concluded that in such an environment, Yuk Yaorao couldn't possibly summon their sect's elders because this junior sister was always kind-hearted. In such a desperate situation, she naturally wouldn't want the elders to come to their deaths.

She also didn't notice when Yuk Yaorao actually used the summoning token.

It seemed that she had used it before Yuk Hong even showed up.

The reassuring part for Yuk Hong was that the person summoned was not a known elder, but a complete stranger. Thus, as long as they resolved this together, the matter wouldn't be exposed.

The burly man turned to Yuk Hong, "You never mentioned this woman has a summoning token!"

Yuk Hong said coldly, "What are you afraid of? Even if she summons a Moon Jade here, all they can exhibit is Constellation-level power. With so many of you, you can't handle that?"

"That's true!" The burly man nodded, if it were in the outside world encountering a Moon Jade, he would have to be respectful due to the gap in cultivation and status. Being disrespectful meant death. But here... with nearly a hundred men under him, what was a Moon Jade suppressed to Constellation-level strength worth?

Lu Ye sighed and exclaimed, "The world is indeed full of filth and conflicts, with worsening worldly conditions and unpredictable hearts."

At the Hundred Rivers Tower, he merely inquired a little further with Aqiduo about the summoning token, and unexpectedly overheard a sickening conspiracy.

"Senior Brother Lu..." From behind came Yuk Yaorao's suppressed voice. Faced with Yuk Hong earlier, her heart had ached to the point of suffocation, yet she bravely persisted, showing no weakness. But the moment Lu Ye appeared, that facade of calm shattered into pieces, overshadowed by unfairness and grief, tears flowing out uncontrollably, her voice trembling.

Lu Ye didn't loathe or despise her, as shown by his answer to the summons, even if he knew there were nearly a hundred enemies. If he truly loathed or despised her, how could Senior Brother Lu have come?

"I was late." Lu Ye turned his head toward Yuk Yaorao, "Are you okay?"

Meeting his gaze, Yuk Yaorao rubbed her reddened eyes, shook her head, and said, "I'm fine!"

"A slut entertaining wild men outside, it's laughable Yuk Gong really thought you were pure!" Yuk Hong seethed with hatred, then shouted at the burly man, "What are you waiting for? Do it!" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

The burly man replied impatiently, "Stop nagging, you're not the one to give orders here!"
