saint of humanity

Through Qin Feng's introduction, Lu Ye met both of them and learned their names.

The man was named Mu Yun Gui, a powerful figure who lived more than 300,000 years ago. The woman, Huan Caiyi, lived more recently, about 200,000 years ago.

Neither of these two individuals were originally among the top ten city lords. They had each built their own Dao Integration City in the past, but their efforts were limited to the Cosmic level.

It's not that they are incompetent, but rather that they were born at the wrong time. For the past hundreds of thousands of years, the positions of the top ten city lords have been firmly established. No matter how strong their strength and resources are, as long as they are still at the Dao Integration level, it is absolutely impossible for them to replace one of the top ten.

However, this does not hinder the accumulation of their own foundation.

Most of the powerful figures who live in seclusion in the Hehe Realm come from this kind of background.

After exchanging a few words, Mu Yungui seemed somewhat anxious: "Fellow Daoist Lu, I heard from Master Qin that you can resolve our current problem? If so, please act as soon as possible, otherwise we may not be able to hold on any longer."

If Qin Feng hadn't vouched for them, would those two still be hanging around in the Hehe Realm?

As the aura of the Star Abyss surged in, the shackles that had bound them for many years were rapidly loosening, almost to the point of being uncontrollable. It was as if an invisible force was pushing them. However, the Hehe Realm was not a suitable place for advancement and breakthrough, so they had to return to the Star Abyss.

Even if Lu Ye doesn't actively enter the Hehe Realm, Qin Feng will still have to find a way to contact him and ask him to come over as soon as possible.

Upon hearing this, Lu Ye understood and immediately began to take action.

It was not difficult to activate the power of the Talent Tree to burn away the corrosive force within the bodies of others. In just half an hour, when Lu Ye stopped, both Mu Yun Gui and Huan Caiyi showed expressions of surprise.

Because the two of them clearly sensed that much of the corrosive power accumulated in their bodies had dissipated. If their previous state was like a bottle that was almost full of water, then at this moment, the water in the bottle was only half full.

Given this situation, they won't have to worry about anything for a long time to come.

"Brother Lu, I am deeply grateful. If you ever need my help in the future, just let me know. I will never refuse your request!" Mu Yungui cupped his hands in thanks. Regardless of how sincere his words were, his attitude was clear.

"Me too!" Huan Caiyi echoed.

“No problem.” Lu Ye nodded.

Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi did not linger. After resolving their own hidden dangers, they hurriedly took their leave.

Although the hidden dangers within their bodies have been eliminated, the loosening of their own constraints cannot wait a moment longer, so they must leave the Hehe Realm as soon as possible and find a suitable place for seclusion outside.

"Brother Feng, can you contact anyone else?" Lu Ye asked.

Qin Feng said, "I can only trust these two people. As for the others..."

Lu Ye hurriedly said, "Whether it's credible or not, as long as we can get in touch with them, we must get them here immediately!"

Previously, he and Qin Feng were considering the issue of trust, but the situation is different now, because no one expected that the pure land of Hehe Realm would also be invaded by the aura of the Star Abyss.

In this way, figures like Mu Yun Gui Huan Caiyi will be forced to leave the Hehe Realm and advance outside. Once they succeed, they will become half-saints, and under the continuous erosion of the Star Abyss aura, they will also become the puppets of the Abyss.

Those are all puppets at the demigod level.

So the question now is not whether they can be trusted. What Lu Ye needs to do is to quickly help them burn away the corrosive power within their bodies. In this way, he can also indirectly weaken the power controlled by Yuan Neng.

"Okay!" Although Qin Feng didn't know why Lu Ye was so eager, he still nodded in agreement.

However, as he sent out message after message, his expression gradually became serious.

Seeing this, Lu Ye knew something was wrong.

Sure enough, after a moment, Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Those guys... I can't contact any of them now."

Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi were waiting for Lu Ye in the Hehe Realm because Qin Feng vouched for them.

No one else received the same treatment as these two. Any one of them would have left as soon as the aura of the Star Abyss surged into the Hehe Realm, because there was no point in staying any longer. Going outside to advance and break through might offer a glimmer of hope.

Lu Ye couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Over the years, countless powerful figures have accumulated within the Hehe Realm, and now they are all likely to fall into the abyss.

He suddenly realized that this was probably the ultimate purpose of the Star Abyss's aura invading the Harmony Realm.

Things are getting complicated. Right now, besides Xue Jiu, there are four other half-saint level experts wandering around in the Star Abyss. The problem here hasn't been solved yet, and now a new problem has arisen.

Furthermore, it's likely that even more semi-saints will arrive from the Origin Realm.

Looking further ahead, the Origin Realm will eventually be completely integrated into the Star Abyss, and once that happens, the True Saints will probably start to become active again.

The road ahead is bleak.

"Xiao Ye..." Qin Feng called out softly when he saw that Lu Ye's expression was off.

Lu Ye responded, "Brother Feng, there's no time to lose. You should also prepare early. Now that you've advanced to the Half-Saint level, you'll likely face many powerful enemies in the future!"

Even in the face of adversity, Lu Ye could only adjust his mindset and take things one step at a time.

“That’s exactly what I was planning.” Qin Feng nodded. “I’ve already put Gong Mao in charge of the battlefield, and he’ll be heading to Kunli City soon.”

He had intended to leave the Hehe Realm a few days ago, but he was delayed because he needed to contact Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi. Now that Mu Yun Gui and Huan Cai Yi's problems have been resolved, he has no more trivial matters to attend to.

Kunli City is a Cosmic-level Dao Integration City. The city lord, Kunli, was someone he had personally promoted. Their brotherhood was stronger than gold, and his decision to go to Kunli City for seclusion was undoubtedly a plan he had made long ago.

"Then I wish Brother Feng all the best!" Lu Ye cupped his hands in a fist salute.

A moment later, Lu Ye left the battlefield, accompanied by Si Shengya.

Originally, Si Shengya was supposed to leave the Hehe Realm only after his injuries had fully healed, but now there was something that required his help, so Lu Ye had no choice but to bring him out first.

Anyway, the injuries sustained during his career are no longer a major concern.

On the way to the Initial Hall, Lu Ye told Si Shengya about the current situation. Si Shengya listened with a strange expression, but didn't say much.

After waiting for a while in the Initial Hall, Lu Ye finally received Xue Jiu.

When they met, Si Shengya's expression became even stranger.

Having lived in the Origin Realm for many years, he had never had a good impression of the vampires, and Xue Jiu had participated in the encirclement and suppression of him during the previous Origin Realm war.

Back then, they were mortal enemies.

So Si Shenghua never expected that, after only a few days, they would become allies when they met again.

Seeing Xue Jiu's smiling face at this moment, Si Shengya felt a little unreal.

However, Lu Ye had already made it clear to him that Xue Jiu had been poisoned when he was promoted to a semi-saint. Now he was being held back by him and dared not say that he would do whatever he was told, but he would never dare to disobey him on important matters.

Moreover, this guy actually tried to seize the bloodline of Blood Abyss!
If this news gets back to the Origin Realm, the Blood Clan there will probably have no place to stand.

The half-saint Xue Jiu himself obtained his status by refining Xue Tianxing's bloodline. If he were to refine Xue Yuan's bloodline again, the half-saints of the Blood Clan would no longer tolerate him. After all, who would want to coexist with someone who is always eyeing their bloodline?

If the truth comes out, the first people who will want to kill Xue Jiu will probably be those vampire demigods.

"Master Si, please forgive me for my past offenses," Xue Jiu greeted him with a smile.

Having conquered Shibu City, Xue Jiu not only vented his anger but also seized the Thunder Swamp Sword from Xuanwu Sect and gathered a large number of subordinates, putting him in an excellent mood.

Moreover, the next action would rely on Si Shengya's power to seek benefits for him, and with Lu Ye as an intermediary, he would naturally be willing to say a few good words to Si Shengya.

"No problem," Si Shengya replied casually.

"Let's go!" Lu Ye said. There were too many people and too many eyes around here. Both Lu Ye and Xue Jiu were famous figures in Xingyuan, so it was really not suitable for them to stay any longer.

"Where are we going now?" Xue Jiu asked.

"Go back to Phoenix Nest."

He could return to Phoenix Nest or go to Dragon City, but he preferred Phoenix Nest because he might need to use the power of the Primordial Wutong Tree to travel through the void at any time.

Moreover, the space around Phoenix Nest is fragmented. Although it lacks the profound foundation of Dragon City, it is not so easy for outsiders to force their way in.

The next plan will be implemented more prudently within the Phoenix Nest.

Although he can bring people back to the Phoenix Nest, he can only bring one at a time. This is a limitation of the Dao-Merging Pearl, not his personal ability.

Fortunately, things weren't too complicated, and he brought Xue Jiu and Si Shengya back to the Phoenix Nest on two separate occasions.

After settling things in, Lu Ye raised his hand and took out a large number of fragments of the Dao Integration Pearl.

Having never seen this thing before in his career, he couldn't help but examine it with great interest.

Xue Jiu's eyes widened: "Just how many Dao Integration Cities have you conquered? There must be more than just fragments of Ten Steps City, right?"

Even as the Blood Lord who had roamed the Star Abyss for so many years, he had never seen so many fragments of the Dao Integration Pearl. This was truly an eye-opener for him.

Lu Ye said, "You two, divide these fragments. Your next task is to each condense a Universe-level Dao Integration Bead!"

Xue Jiu glanced at it and nodded, saying, "The amount of this fragment is sufficient, but without the core fragment, the ordinary fragments are useless."

Lu Ye raised his hand and threw out the two core fragments.

Blood Blame and Si Career each received one.

Xue Jiu immediately raised an eyebrow: "The one from Zong Shenliang?"

He had previously dealt with the aftermath in Shibu City and had learned from Xue Kuang about Lu Ye's recent actions, so he knew that Zong Shenliang's Senluo City had been breached.

Lu Ye has two core fragments in his possession, which undoubtedly come from Senluo City and Shibu City.

"Where are the core fragments of my Blood Drinking City now?" Xue Jiu asked again.

"I don't know." Lu Ye shook his head.

Of course, he wouldn't tell Xue Jiu that he also had the core fragments of Blood Drinking City in his hands.

It was given to him by the Dragon Lord during his last period of seclusion. (End of Chapter)
