Chapter 1961: Chapter 1959: Downright Unlucky

Yuk Yaorao, upon hearing this, hurriedly took out her audio talisman and sent out messages one by one.

After quite a while, she finally put away the audio talisman, shook her head at Lu Ye, and said, "Can’t reach any of them."

The people she tried to contact were cultivators from the home galaxy who were training in the Asura Field. Since none of them could be reached, there was only one explanation — the distance was too far, beyond the range of the audio talisman.

This result made Lu Ye’s heart sink.

The range of communication for the audio talisman was actually quite vast, and for Yuk Yaorao to be unable to contact even a single Jiuxuan cultivator showed that the situation was worse than he had thought.

Lu Ye thought for a moment and closed his eyes, concentrating. He tried to connect to the Soul Race ancestral land using the seven-color Divine Lotus in his Divine Sea.

The passage to the Soul Race ancestral land was spread throughout the stellar space, so even if he didn’t know where he was now, as long as he could communicate with the Soul Race ancestral land, he could enter the ancestral land’s space directly and then head to a known place.

But to his surprise, this time there was no response at all, which made Lu Ye extremely surprised. This undoubtedly meant there was no passage to the Soul Race ancestral land in the nearby star system.

This is trouble!

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye said, "Come with me!"

Yuk Yaorao quickly followed.

The two figures rushed out of the domain, and Lu Ye summoned the starboat, standing on it and looking around. Given the current situation, the urgent priority was to figure out where they were. Only after determining this could they know which direction to go.

Suddenly, a streak of light appeared in his sight, passing from afar, undoubtedly the figure of a cultivator, and judging from the power fluctuations coming from the distance, it was a Moon Jade.

Lu Ye felt happy because encountering someone meant he could ask for information.

The other person seemed to have noticed his presence as well, abruptly changing direction and heading towards them.

After a short while, the light arrived not far ahead, and a figure emerged, clasping his fist towards Lu Ye, "Greetings, Fellow Daoist!"

Lu Ye returned the salute, observing the newcomer, who appeared to be Moon Jade Mid-Stage cultivation level, around thirty years old, dressed in black combat wear, with a capable and magnetic voice.

"May I ask if Fellow Daoist has come from the Asura Field?" the young man asked.

"Indeed!" Lu Ye nodded. Since the other person asked this, it was clear he was the same, having come from the Asura Field, which put Lu Ye at ease. It seemed they weren’t thrown into some godforsaken place.

"Then do you know exactly where this place is? Which direction should I take if I want to go to the Rain Flower Star Cluster?"

Lu Ye shrugged helplessly, "I was going to ask you the same thing."

The two exchanged knowing looks, and the young man couldn’t help but sigh, "It turns out we share the same confusion. May I ask if you know what’s happened with the Asura Field? Why we appeared here, and this doesn’t seem like a training scenario." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

Lu Ye pondered and said, "The Asura Field... seems to have shut down. Those of us who entered for training have been expelled."

The young man nodded, "That’s what I thought. No wonder the Asura Authority Token is gone." As a Moon Jade cultivator, he naturally had some guesses, but lacked concrete evidence.

"It’s a pity for the Asura Seals I’ve painstakingly accumulated..." The young man showed a regretful expression. Who knew how many Asura Seals he had accumulated that were now useless? He then asked, "Fellow Daoist, could we exchange audio talisman markings? That way, if one of us figures out where this place is, we can inform each other."

"Sure!" Lu Ye nodded, stepping forward to exchange audio talisman markings with the young man.

They didn’t ask for each other’s names or backgrounds, as meeting randomly in stellar space might mean they never see each other again.

The young man soon departed, and Lu Ye moved the starboat ahead with Yuk Yaorao, heading aimlessly in a direction.

Along the way, he frequently encountered hurried cultivators, most traveling alone, with a few groups of two or three!

The Asura Field shut down too suddenly. Nearly ten million cultivators, besides Lu Ye who had been informed by Mi Shi in advance, were unprepared. Consequently, most people acted alone after being expelled from the Asura Field. Only those lucky enough to contact their friends could move in groups and look out for each other.

He continued to exchange information with some cultivators, but unfortunately, no one knew exactly where they were, leaving him to choose a direction and move straight ahead.

He kept trying to communicate with the Soul Race ancestral land using the seven-color Divine Lotus, but it was to no avail.

Yuk Yaorao also periodically sent out several messages, which similarly sank without a trace.

Initially, for the first few days, things were peaceful. But as time went by, this vast unknown area descended into chaos. Nearly ten million cultivators left the Asura Field, and even if scattered, it inevitably led to some disputes and conflicts. Moreover, many people in the world revel in chaos, and some malicious cultivators took this chance to wreak havoc.

Ahead, several figures were engaged in a fierce battle. Lu Ye steered the starboat and charged straight ahead, pretending not to see them.

Those cultivators had low cultivation levels, all at the Constellation tier, and for unknown reasons, they were fighting fervently, with each side having three people, seemingly evenly matched.

As the battle raged on, they suddenly noticed Lu Ye and Yuk Yaorao approaching. Both parties in the conflict tacitly ceased fighting, retreated far away, and opened up a wide passage.

They were all smart enough to know that anyone who dared ignore their conflict must possess great strength, beyond what they could provoke.

When Lu Ye’s starboat passed by, the two sides clashed once more, seemingly determined to fight to the death.

Many cultivators formed deep grudges within the Asura Field, but the randomness of its trials made revenge exceedingly difficult—unless they happened to enter the same scenario as their enemies.

In the Sky Asura World, the rules of the Asura Field protected everyone, and no one dared to act recklessly.

Now that everyone had been expelled from the Asura Field, if enemies encountered each other, they naturally sought revenge and retribution!

Some people even realized this was a great opportunity to search for their adversaries, and there were many such people; missing this chance meant finding their enemies again was nearly hopeless.

Not only was there rivalry among the Constellations, but even among the Moon Jade cultivators, Lu Ye encountered several skirmishes during his journey.

Yuk Yaorao felt a lingering fear because if she hadn’t been looking for Lu Ye at the time and had stayed by his side, she would have had no power to protect herself in such an environment on her own.

Especially for a charming and alluring woman like her, she could easily incite men’s desires; she might have been captured by another Moon Jade encounter.

Now, following Lu Ye, she didn’t have to worry about those things at all, making her extremely grateful for her earlier decision, marveling at her good luck.

That day, as he was navigating the starboat forward, Lu Ye suddenly sensed something, looked ahead into the stellar space, furrowed his brows, and quickly changed the starboat’s direction to the side.

"What’s wrong, senior brother?" Yuk Yaorao asked in confusion.

Lu Ye had always been heading straight without changing direction, but this time, for some reason, he changed course.

"There’s Sun Blaze fighting ahead!" Lu Ye replied.

Yuk Yaorao’s cultivation was ultimately somewhat lower, and her perception was not as sharp, so she hadn’t noticed the seriousness of the situation. However, Lu Ye clearly sensed that there were powerful Sun Blaze combatants ahead fighting fiercely. Even at a great distance, the waves of aftermath were like tidal waves, rolling and crashing repeatedly.

While the number of Sun Blaze in the Asura Field wasn’t particularly high, it wasn’t small either, and naturally, some Sun Blaze had grudges among themselves. Encountering each other and clashing was quite normal.

But such contention could be deadly for those below Sun Blaze; being caught even slightly in the aftershocks could lead to a bad end.

Noticing this, Lu Ye, of course, decided to take a different route.

He thought he was already being cautious enough, believing that avoiding the Sun Blaze fighting range would guarantee safety; however, life often doesn’t go as planned.

Mere moments later, Lu Ye’s expression suddenly changed. He turned his head to the side and intensely urged his mana, accelerating the starboat’s speed.

"Senior brother?" Yuk Yaorao called quietly, sensing something wrong from Lu Ye’s demeanor.

Lu Ye had no time to respond to her, for he sensed the Sun Blaze’s aura rapidly closing in on them!

Had one emerged victorious, and someone fled?

But if someone was fleeing, why flee toward this direction?

Lu Ye felt utterly unlucky.

If he were alone, he wouldn’t be too worried; at worst, he had two red talismans on him for protection.

But Yuk Yaorao was just a Constellation; if hit by the Sun Blaze’s aftershocks, she’d perish instantly.

The speed of a Sun Blaze was incredibly rapid, and within just three breaths, Lu Ye sensed that the powerful aura had closed in a substantial distance.

Within view, brilliant light could even be seen exploding in the distance.

No time to avoid it!

Lu Ye immediately abandoned controlling the starboat and activated the portal to the Small Flower World. Within a few breaths, a portal appeared before him.

"Go in!" he instructed Yuk Yaorao.

To ensure Yuk Yaorao’s safety, letting her hide in the Small Flower World was the only option; Lu Ye couldn’t think of another way.

Yuk Yaorao didn’t question further and instantly flashed into the portal.

The next moment, the portal vanished.

Lu Ye then urged his mana, ready to activate the red talisman with teleportation effects at any time; of course, this was just in preparation. Red talismans were precious, and he wouldn’t use them unless absolutely necessary, conserving them whenever possible.

Just then, a chilling voice came from afar, echoing in his ears: "Ma Bin, despite your renowned reputation, is fleeing all you can do?"

The voice traveled from countless miles away, yet still reached Lu Ye’s ears, and not only his, everyone within that area of range heard it loud and clear.

Lu Ye was momentarily shocked.
