531: Just like before

Hearing this, Lin Ye did not speak, he only held Wu Mingyue tightly in his arms.

The Empress Dowager, standing to the side, saw this scene and also wore a look of gratification.

It is unknown how much time had passed before the two slowly separated.

Wu Mingyue took Lin Ye's arm, wanting to take him to see the scenery of the Wu Dynasty.

...

For three consecutive days, Wu Mingyue and the Empress Dowager took Lin Ye to tour the entire Wu Dynasty, even visiting some hidden places and the ancestral grounds.

The Ancestors were all huddled in the ancestral grounds, turning a blind eye.

The ancestral teachings had previously stated that those without the Wu Dynasty Bloodline could not enter the ancestral grounds, but now that Lin Ye had come, they all remained silent.

Who allowed Lin Ye to have already become an Emperor, and furthermore, he was also the Saint of the Righteous Qi Sect.

Early this morning, Lin Ye woke up from his room. Without disturbing Wu Mingyue and the Empress Dowager, he put on a white robe, carried a Spirit Sword on his back, and walked out of the Wu Dynasty alone.

What he did not know was that, atop the city gate.

Wu Mingyue and the Empress Dowager were watching his retreating figure.

"Lin Ye is leaving, aren't you going to see him off?"

Hearing her mother's question, Wu Mingyue shook her head slightly: "Since he didn't tell me, he must not want to experience that kind of parting scene. Since that is the case, why should I go to see him off?"

Hearing this, the Empress Dowager said softly: "He must be going to step onto that Blood Road. You will still be able to meet again then."

"Mother, don't you want to compete for the Emperor Road this time?"

"Me?"

The Empress Dowager looked at Wu Mingyue with a smile: "If we both go to compete for the Emperor Road, who will guard this Imperial Dynasty? Moreover, our little Mingyue misses Lin Ye so much, she definitely won't be able to stay here honestly as the Martial Emperor."

"When you leave, Mother will come to guard this place for you."

"Mother..."

Wu Mingyue bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, her stunning face showing a hint of hesitation.

After a moment, she slowly spoke: "Does Mother not miss Lin Ye?"

The Empress Dowager was startled internally, but she feigned calmness: "Miss Lin Ye? This child, what nonsense are you saying? Mother is not you."

"Actually, I saw it that day."

"What?!"

Lin Ye was completely unaware of what had happened on the city wall. Just as Wu Mingyue had said, he was now planning to head to that Blood Road outside the Territory.

During these three days, besides touring the Wu Dynasty, Lin Ye had also learned about matters concerning that road.

It was a road connecting ten thousand domains, and within it were dilapidated ancient cities.

The entrance was the place leading to the ten thousand domains. If one wanted to return to the Great Thousand Domains, one must go to that Blood Road outside the Territory.

Swish!

Lin Ye, in his white robe, sped towards the starry sky in the distance.

Just as it was in the beginning.

...

Having left the Wu Dynasty, Lin Ye did not return to the Righteous Qi Sect. He arrived at a teleportation array and teleported towards a special Star Domain.

That was the Star Domain one must pass through to reach the Blood Road outside the Territory.

Godfall Domain.

In this Star Domain, there were no top-tier orthodoxies stationed here. After all, this Star Domain was too desolate, and the neighboring large stars were all barren lands, with no conditions for cultivation at all.

Top-tier orthodoxies naturally would not look upon such a Star Domain favorably.

For small factions, since the experts of the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains would all pass through this road to reach the Blood Road outside the Territory, if they were stationed here, they would inevitably encounter people from large factions coming to rob them, so no one from small factions would stay here.

Lin Ye, having been teleported to this Star Domain, walked slowly out of the teleportation hall.

Looking around, all kinds of powerful Cultivators were arriving in an endless stream. By casually opening the panels of those people, one could see their formidable cultivation.

All kinds of living beings were gathered here.

Beast Descendants, forbidden beings, orphans of the ancient era, and even ancient Prodigies exuding the aura of time.

They were all here.

These people were all Cultivators from the Nine Heavens and Ten Domains, not just the Human Race; clearly, these people were all here to head to the Blood Road outside the Territory.

The Luck of the great era had begun to gush forth.

Those who arrived first would naturally have a few more chances to seek the Dao than others.

Lin Ye was not in a hurry to inquire about the Blood Road outside the Territory. Instead, he planned to find a place to stay nearby first. Seeing the surrounding starry sky, he felt extremely familiar.

This seemed to be the same starry sky from before he returned to the ancient era.

For some reason, Lin Ye felt that he had forgotten something here.

"Master Lin!!!"

Just as Lin Ye was looking for a place to stay, a familiar voice rang out. Lin Ye turned his head to look.

Sure enough, it was Cheng Dezhu.

With a face full of joy, he came directly in front of Lin Ye, with Xiang Tiange following beside him.

Meeting an old friend, a trace of nostalgia appeared on Lin Ye's face.

"Master Lin, we finally found you!"

Cheng Dezhu was full of excitement: "I went back before, and the Holy Master said you had gone to the Wu Dynasty. I arrived at the Wu Dynasty, only to find that you had already left. It's a good thing I chased fast! Otherwise, it would have been too late again!"

"Lin Ye, long time no see."

Xiang Tiange looked at Lin Ye with a smile.

The latter nodded, also revealing a smile.

He and Xiang Tiange could be considered to have experienced life and death together; the bond between them naturally went without saying.

"Master Lin!"

Seeing Xiang Tiange and Lin Ye smiling at each other, Cheng Dezhu, who was to the side, was unhappy. He quickly stepped forward and chuckled: "Hehe... Master Lin, I have prepared many gifts for you!"

Hearing the word "gifts," Xiang Tiange's expression was clearly somewhat stiff.

Clearly, he also knew what those gifts were.

Lin Ye naturally did not know what gifts Cheng Dezhu had given him, but just by looking at Cheng Dezhu's expression, he knew that these gifts were not anything good.

"Master Lin, come, follow me!"

Cheng Dezhu acted as if he were a thief, waving his hand to signal Lin Ye to follow him.

Xiang Tiange, standing to the side, looked as if his feet were filled with lead, with absolutely no intention of going along.

Although Lin Ye knew that Cheng Dezhu was eccentric, they hadn't met in so long, so it was naturally difficult to refuse the other's good intentions. Thinking of this, Lin Ye followed Cheng Dezhu away.

They had basically arrived at this Godfall Domain one after the other, so the gifts Cheng Dezhu spoke of were in the teleportation hall.

The moment Lin Ye stepped into the teleportation hall, he was stunned on the spot.

He discovered that the teleportation hall was completely packed with all sorts of beautiful women, looking to be at least a hundred of them!

These girls included beautiful mature women and young girls radiating youthful energy. Without exception, all of them had their cultivation sealed, and there were tear stains on their faces.

The moment Cheng Dezhu entered, hundreds of beautiful eyes stared fixedly at him. If looks could kill, Cheng Dezhu would surely have died a thousand times over.

"This is what you call a gift?!"
