144: Old Friend in the City

Xiang Tiange knew the location, so Lin Ye naturally followed him as they departed.

Because the distance was too great, they needed to enter the city and find a teleportation array to reach the entrance of the Lingxu Battlefield.

The two of them sped all the way through the Ten Thousand Mountains.

The reason they could be so reckless was entirely because, for some unknown reason, all the Vicious Beasts in the vicinity had vanished without a trace.

Several mountain peaks in the distance had also been shattered, as if they had witnessed some kind of great battle.

Consequently, the two had no need for caution, and their speed was so fast that they left two trails in the sky.

...

At the edge of the Southern Domain.

Although this place was supposed to be a barren wasteland, it boasted a bustling town; or rather, it was more of a gathering place established by numerous factions.

All kinds of flags fluttered in the void.

Whether they were large or small factions, or even Loose Cultivators, everyone had gathered here.

All because of the opening of the Lingxu Battlefield.

After all, anyone would want to take a chance at that Opportunity.

Furthermore, this was a great Opportunity for the Upper Domain and Lower Domain to interact, and some Prodigies who had made a name for themselves in the Lower Domain all wanted to enter the Lingxu Battlefield to verify their own strength.

It gathered Prodigies from all realms; not to mention the Eastern, Southern, Western, and Northern Domains, even Prodigies from the Central Plains and the Upper Domain would appear inside. It could be said to be a battle of Prodigies.

If one could sweep through all opponents inside, they would undoubtedly become a leader at the beginning of this Golden Age.

Because one entered with their consciousness, there were at least a dozen entrances to the Lingxu Battlefield in the Southern Domain, and this was just one of them.

Even so, the surroundings were crowded with Cultivators.

Factions, both large and small, had used their Qi and Heaven And Earth Treasures to build temporary footholds.

This was to protect their own Prodigies, ensuring that their Physical Bodies would not be damaged after their consciousnesses entered the Lingxu Battlefield.

Of course, there was no shortage of people here to conduct business.

For instance, some Loose Cultivators who wanted to enter the Lingxu Battlefield lacked the protection of a faction; what would happen if they were killed by their enemies?

At times like this, they needed the help of neutral factions.

By just spending a certain amount of Spirit Stones, these neutral factions didn't care if you were a Devil Head or a wanted criminal; they only recognized Spirit Stones, not people.

There were even some neutral factions that showed no fear when facing Holy Land-level factions.

Rules were rules; if you took someone's money, you had to resolve their problems.

Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange arrived at the nearby city via the teleportation array and, without the slightest delay, went straight to the entrance.

Looking at the bustling scene, Xiang Tiange's eyes were full of excitement, because once he reached the Lingxu Battlefield, he would be able to start a great battle!

Everyone inside was a true Prodigy.

Especially those from the Upper Domain.

As for Lin Ye, he hadn't said much along the way. He was somewhat expectant to see if he could truly meet his so-called "old acquaintance" in this so-called Lingxu Battlefield.

If he really met them, he would have to make them leave something behind, or else his Dao Heart would truly become unstable.

The two of them did not hide their faces.

One was dressed in red, his delicate and handsome face bearing an indifferent expression. His long hair was like ink, falling loosely, and his eyes in particular were like deep pools, profound and tranquil, with an aura of both righteousness and evil that was captivating.

The other was dressed in white, his handsome face carrying a dashing smile. His hair was tied up with a crown, and his ethereal aura made him seem like an immortal descended from the heavens.

Both their attire and their aura caused the people around them to look over repeatedly.

Someone unknown called out.

"Righteous Qi Sect's Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look at the two, and even those who had been talking just a moment ago fixed their gazes upon them.

Ever since the Supreme Bliss Holy Land was renamed to the Righteous Qi Sect, Lin Ye had made a great name for himself.

He had even entered into a marriage contract with the Princess of the Immortal Dynasty, which made people incredibly envious.

Xiang Tiange was also a Prodigy capable of rivaling him, and it was said that the Righteous Qi Sect, formerly the Supreme Bliss Holy Land, was about to take off in this Golden Age.

But looking at them, there was no one from the Righteous Qi Sect behind them?

Two such peerless Prodigies—was the Righteous Qi Sect really willing to let them come alone?

The elders of various factions were secretly pondering this.

No wonder they were able to become peerless Prodigies; how could flowers in a greenhouse withstand the wind, frost, and rain!

That's it! When I go back, I will dismiss the guardians of our successors and let them go out and brave the world themselves!

Yes! That's what I'll do. Perhaps in a few years, our own faction will be able to produce such Prodigies, and wouldn't that be a massive gain!

Lin Ye and Xiang Tiange did not care about the gazes of the crowd and walked straight towards the entrance, wanting to observe it for a bit.

"Lin Ye!"

Just at this moment, a beautiful and dignified voice rang out.

Lin Ye turned his head to look, and the stunningly beautiful woman dressed in palace attire, with an aura like that of an Empress, was none other than Wu Mingyue.

However, upon meeting Wu Mingyue this time, he discovered that her aura was somewhat chaotic, and even her delicate face was slightly pale.

She was injured?

This was Lin Ye's first thought.

After all, only someone who was injured would be in such a state.

However, as the Princess of the Immortal Dynasty, she was powerful enough to inspire fear; just how strong must someone be to be able to injure such a person?

Little did he know, while Lin Ye was observing her, Wu Mingyue was also observing him.

What exactly was this Lin Ye's identity?

To think that a strange woman who could make Vicious Beasts submit to her would appear by his side.

It seems I must properly probe him; our Dynasty cannot afford any problems.

The two of them, each harboring their own thoughts, smiled and greeted each other.

As for Xiang Tiange, he had no intention of being a third wheel, and besides, he was somewhat unsure of how to address Wu Mingyue.

If he called her Senior?

She happened to be Lin Ye's fiancée.

If he called her by her name? Or Princess, it would always feel a bit disrespectful to a Senior.

Rather than agonizing over it, he simply wouldn't address her at all.

Wu Mingyue did not care about these minor details and smiled at Lin Ye, saying, "Are you two here by yourselves this time?"

"Yes."

Lin Ye nodded, "If every outing were so grand and ostentatious, it would also be annoying, wouldn't it?"

"..."

Wu Mingyue nodded in deep agreement, though she secretly thought to herself.

You, Lin Ye, are afraid of being annoying? Don't you even know what your reputation is like outside?

Naturally, she could not say such things out loud.

"If you don't mind, why not come over to my side? After you enter the Lingxu Battlefield, we will look after your Physical Bodies."

"Naturally, I don't mind!"

Lin Ye nodded; he still trusted this woman, Wu Mingyue, quite a bit.

After all, if she had any ill intentions toward Lin Ye, she wouldn't have acted that way back then.

Now that she had proactively offered, it saved him a lot of trouble.
