saint of humanity

In the inner world, if we were to say which race the ghost cultivators hate the most, it would definitely be the Phoenix Clan!
Because the Phoenix Clan's way of space is simply the biggest nemesis of the ghost cultivators' way of hiding, the Phoenix Clan can always find their whereabouts easily.

Fortunately, there are not many pure-blooded Phoenix people, and there are very few races with Phoenix bloodline, so unless you are too unlucky, you basically won’t encounter them.

The ghost cultivator had never expected that he would have such bad luck today as to meet a member of the Phoenix clan here. When he realized this, he knew that something bad was going to happen.

And judging from the methods used by the other party, the Phoenix clan has made great achievements in the way of space.

He exerted his own Taoist power wildly, without any reservation, shaking all directions, trying to break the distortion of space.

effective!
After only two breaths, the anomaly in the space was broken, but he froze in place and dared not move, because he felt a chill on his neck and he was held at knifepoint!
The sharpness of the blade gave him the illusion that it could chop off his head at any time.

Without looking, the ghost cultivator knew what was happening behind him.

Then a voice came into my ears: "Are you retreating from the fifty-first floor?"

The ghost cultivator's eyes rolled around. Although he didn't know why the other party asked this, his instinct told him that the best answer at this time was yes!

"That's right!" the ghost cultivator responded in a deep voice.

"you swear!"

The ghost cultivator's eyes suddenly twitched. When he was thinking about how to cover up the matter, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck and his vision was reversed!
The last thought flashed through his mind before he died. This guy was too ruthless in his actions. It was simply a bit unsportsmanlike. He should at least be given a chance to say something.

Behind the headless corpse of the ghost cultivator, Lu Ye sheathed his sword.

Since the ghost cultivator hesitated, it meant that he did not retreat from the fifty-first floor, so Lu Ye would naturally not show mercy.

Anyway, there are other targets to look for, and it is not necessary to have this ghost cultivator.

To put it another way, even if he couldn't find a guide, he could find the way to a higher level by himself.

After collecting the spoils, Lu Ye walked forward for a distance before he suddenly realized that this ghost cultivator was most likely not one who retreated from the fifty-first floor. So was there a possibility that he retreated from the fifty-second floor or higher?
If that was the case, his hesitation for a moment was normal.

There is something wrong with your own problem!

Lu Ye couldn't help scratching his head. It seemed that he would have to ask in a different way next time he met the person.

The opportunity will come soon.

When Lu Ye passed by a place, he suddenly smelled a hint of blood.

In this case, there are either remnants of a battle that took place not long after the war, or there are injured monks hiding in the dark.

The opponent was most likely seriously injured, otherwise he would not be able to suppress the flow of qi and blood.

Following this bloody smell, I made twists and turns all the way.

Not long after, Lu Ye stood in front of a pit with a little surprise, looking at a snow-white figure sitting cross-legged inside.

This is a woman, wearing a white long dress, with a curvy figure and her long hair draped behind her and tied at her waist.

The dress was tight-fitting, making her waist look extremely slender, as if it could be held with one hand. However, the curve below the waist was extremely exaggerated, giving people a huge sense of visual conflict.

It’s not that Lu Ye wanted to look at her, it’s mainly because she had her back to him.

The bloody smell came from this woman.

In the Tower of Time, the appearance of such a woman in such a place was a little abnormal no matter how you looked at it. Normally, even if a cultivator occupied a cave like this to practice, he would set up a formation to cover himself so as not to be disturbed.

But she didn't.

Moreover, Lu Ye could feel that the woman was indeed injured and her breath was a little weak. This could not be faked.

"May I ask, fellow Taoist, have you retired from a higher level?" Lu Ye asked.

"Yes, what's the matter?" The woman still had her back to Lu Ye, and her soft voice came out, as if it contained some strange power.

Not only that, even the void began to be filled with a strange fragrance that made people's blood boil. The woman's back was already extremely beautiful, making people linger on. At this moment, this beauty seemed to be infinitely magnified.

"I would like to ask my fellow Taoist to lead me to a higher level." Lu Ye said truthfully.

It’s not that he was so polite just because she was a woman. There were also female cultivators among the Hedao he had killed before. However, all the Hedao he had killed before had taken the initiative to attack him, including the ghost cultivator just now, who had already revealed their malicious intent.

Since this woman didn't take action, we can talk.

"You want to go to a higher level?" the woman asked, her voice still as soft as ever. "No problem, come in and talk."

"Okay!" Lu Ye nodded. As he responded, he examined the talent tree and saw smoke rising up.

There was a violent collision of Taoist forces, and after a few loud bangs, everything returned to calm.

Ten breaths later, Lu Ye sat upright, and the woman sat a few feet in front of him.

In fact, Lu Ye had previously thought that this woman had an ugly face, so she showed her back. However, when he looked at her now, he realized that he was wrong. This woman was not ugly at all, but was very beautiful. Her beauty was that kind of delicate and enchanting, which was extremely attractive to any man.

Even Lu Ye couldn't help but feel his heart pounding when he looked at her a few more times.

However, there were traces of blood at the corners of her mouth, obviously she had suffered a loss in the battle with Lu Ye just now.

This made her breath feel even more empty.

Lu Ye finally understood why this woman dared to stay here so blatantly and didn't even bother to set up a formation to cover herself.

Because even though she was injured, she was still very strong! She was definitely not something that the 51st level Hedao could contend with.

This is her capital to gain a foothold here.

It's a pity that he met the stronger Lu Ye. If he hadn't made up his mind to find someone who could lead the way first, he would have been killed.

"What's your name?" Lu Ye looked at her.

The woman bit her red lips and looked at Lu Ye with resentment and grievance, her eyes full of accusations of blood and tears, as if she had been cruelly played around by Lu Ye and then abandoned.

"Xiao Ba..." the woman replied reluctantly.

She could never have imagined that she would encounter such a shameless guy in such a tower.

She was injured and being chased, so she retreated all the way and fled here.

But the human in front of him was clearly intact and so powerful, and he actually had the nerve to come to Monkey Mountain and claim to be the king!

How could he be embarrassed?

This is like an adult running over to play with a group of children. It is totally unreasonable.

"Xiao Ba..." Lu Ye hesitated for a moment, "Eight-tailed demon fox?"

He was certain that the woman was a demon, because even though the fight was short, the woman who called herself Xiao Ba had already revealed some of her background.

At that moment, eight snow-white, furry tails appeared behind her.

Coupled with the invisible charm the woman displayed and her current pitiful look, Lu Ye couldn't think of what other race she could be except the fox demon clan.

This name reminded him of Xiaojiu from Jiuzhou. He didn't know what the situation was like over there after he had been away from the starry sky for so many years.

It should be fine. He had already made various arrangements before leaving. As long as Starry Sky doesn't encounter any major changes, it can cope with it. The cultivators can continue to grow and become stronger, and slowly resist the increasingly serious invasion of Star Abyss.

What's more, there is a gorgeous city over there as the backing of the entire starry sky.

"Human Lu Ye." Lu Ye clasped his fists and bowed.

"What do you want?" Xiao Ba looked at Lu Ye warily, but her natural charm made her vigilance look extremely attractive.

She really didn't expect that she would suffer a loss in such a place. Now she was at the mercy of others, and the other party was a man, which made her a little nervous.

Although Lu Ye did not show too much, no one can be sure what he is thinking. What if he is a hypocritical person who suddenly turns beastly?

"What I think depends on the answer you give."

"Answer, what answer?" Xiao Ba frowned, a little confused.

"Which floor did you retreat from?" It couldn't have been the upper floor.

Xiao Ba frowned.

Lu Ye raised his hand and grasped the handle of the Panshan Knife: "Think it over before answering!"

Xiao Ba's eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth: "Seventy-second floor!"

When she originally entered the Tower of Time, she appeared on the 70th floor. Later, she climbed up two floors, but ended up encountering several enemies. She was chased all the way and had no choice but to escape downwards.

Lu Ye's eyes lit up.

What an unexpected surprise.

He had planned to look for those who had returned from the previous floor every time he reached a floor, and then ask others to help lead the way, so as to save himself from wandering around and wasting time.

Who would have thought that the Xiao Ba I met was the one who retreated from the 72nd floor.

Now we have achieved everything!
Lu Ye's expression immediately became amiable: "Fellow Daoist Xiaoba, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Xiao Ba stared at Lu Ye's right hand holding the knife, his heart full of bitterness: "How can I help you? Tell me."

If it goes too far, she would rather die!

"Take me to the seventy-second floor. If you retreat all the way down there, you should remember the way back."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Ba looked at Lu Ye with confusion.

After a while, she finally asked, "Which floor did you retreat from?"

According to her thinking, Lu Ye probably also retreated from the 70th floor. In that case, he could just go back the same way. Why did he need her help to lead the way?

"Just tell me whether you agree or not." Lu Ye stroked the handle of the knife impatiently.

This fox demon talks too much.

"Is that it?"

"That's it!"

Xiao Ba still didn't quite believe it, but it was obviously not a good idea to ask more questions at the moment, so he could only ask, "Then what's in it for me?"

"Is staying alive considered a good thing?" Lu Ye stared at her expressionlessly.

Xiao Ba was defeated immediately and turned his head away: "Forget it!"

How could she not feel the strong threat in those words? She was finally sure that this human had no other thoughts about her. If she did not cooperate, his pitch-black long sword might really chop her down again. (End of this chapter)
