In mid-air, Lu Ye traveled at a leisurely pace. This trip leaving Haotian City had two purposes. The first was to visit his Third Senior Brother and Fourth Senior Brother in Red River City and to retrieve an item. That task was already completed. The second task was to visit the frontline where the two major camps were confronting each other. His main body had already advanced to Divine Sea Level 2, but his doppelganger remained the same as before. Therefore, Lu Ye needed to refine his doppelganger anew, so that it also reached Divine Sea Level 2; only then could it exert greater power. The prerequisite for gathering the doppelganger was to reclaim the original one, so no matter what, Lu Ye had to make the trip. Fortunately, now that he had advanced to Divine Sea, his speed was very fast, so it wouldn't take too long. A day later, Lu Ye had crossed the frontline of the Haotian Alliance's mountain pass and reached the central area between the Jinglan Lake Pass and the Dark Moon Forest Pass. Going further was not wise; beyond that was the defense area of the Dark Moon Forest Pass. After all, he was a member of the Haotian Alliance. Although the two major camps hadn't explicitly ceased hostilities, they were tacitly stopping their disputes to focus wholeheartedly on combating the insect crisis. If he recklessly intruded into the defense area of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, it could easily lead to unnecessary misunderstandings. He found a ground fissure, dove inside, killed the nearby Insect Race, and quietly lay in wait. A sword light flashed in the sky, and doppelganger Li Taibai stood atop it, rushing towards the main body. One must say, among all the schools, the Sword Control flight of sword cultivators is the most elegant and dashing, a feature no other faction can match. Along the way, some Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators hunting the Insect Race outside occasionally halted and saluted him respectfully. During these past three months, Li Taibai had made quite a name for himself at the Dark Moon Forest Pass. Whenever he acted, he was always victorious. Many cultivators of the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge owed him their lives. To this new young Mountain Pass Chief, the cultivators at the Dark Moon Forest Pass admired him from the bottom of their hearts. Lin Yue was also very satisfied with his performance. Ever since Li Taibai arrived, her burdens lightened considerably, and she no longer appeared as weary and desolate as before. Nowadays, she seemed full of life. Mental Consciousness spread out, monitoring the surrounding movements. After confirming no one was around, he plunged into the ground fissure below. A moment later, the doppelganger stood in front of the main body. Lu Ye raised a hand, pressing it on the doppelganger's chest. The roots of the Talent Tree extended, probing into the doppelganger's body. In the blink of an eye, doppelganger Li Taibai vanished, leaving only a Crimson Dragon Battle Suit and the sword gourd worn over it. The instant Lu Ye caught them, spirit force suddenly surged around him, turning him into a stream of light as he dashed sideways. While still in mid-air, several streaks of sword Qi shot out from the sword gourd, slashing towards a specific spot. Simultaneously, he drew the Boulder Mountain Saber at his waist, his form following the sword light, and slashed down. Where the sword light ravaged, the space twisted, and a figure appeared out of thin air. Suddenly attacked, coupled with a psyche-shattering shock, the figure responded chaotically. Barely managing to block the many sword light assaults, he then faced a sharp saber light. In desperation, a surge of violent spirit force transformed into a massive impact, meeting the saber light head-on. With a thunderous crash, spirit force reverberated. Lu Ye's figure uncontrollably retreated back, while the abruptly appearing figure also stepped back over a dozen paces before stabilizing. Separated by several dozen yards, Lu Ye held the saber in hand, eyes lowered, staring ahead expressionlessly. When the doppelganger arrived, it was actually being trailed. No one else but Liew Yuemei from the Jinglan Lake Pass! Lu Ye didn't know what method Liew Yuemei used to conceal her presence and aura, but it was clearly not her own skill. To his knowledge, Liew Yuemei was a magic cultivator. Even if her cultivation far surpassed the doppelganger's, it would have been impossible to conceal herself so perfectly. When the doppelganger came over, it had been monitoring the surrounding for any movement, but there was nothing unusual; otherwise, the doppelganger would not have rushed down to merge with the main body. As for why Liew Yuemei was trailing the doppelganger... need one ask, she naturally intended harm. This woman bore a grudge against Li Taibai. To avenge the murder of her son, she had not hesitated to marshal the forces of the Jinglan Lake Pass for an assault, and during the battle, she recklessly attacked only Li Taibai, all in order to slay him by her own hand. In that battle, she unleashed her Divine Soul Power on Li Taibai and struck with ferocity. She thought Li Taibai was doomed, and her great vengeance could thus be considered fulfilled. Afterward, news indeed spread from the Dark Moon Forest Pass that Li Taibai had fallen in battle, and the matter concluded. But in recent months, Li Taibai frequently took action, rescuing those Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators from dire situations and occasionally encountering some Haotian Alliance cultivators. With Liew Yuemei stationed at the Jinglan Lake Pass, unless blind and deaf, she would naturally receive some news about Li Taibai. The enemy who had originally killed her son had come back to life, how could Liew Yuemei tolerate this? From the day she got the news, she began plotting how to kill Li Taibai. A blatant attack was not a wise move. It wasn't about considering the current trend of the two major factions. The hatred for killing her son couldn't go unavenged. For a woman like her, the trend of the two major factions was irrelevant. As long as she could kill Li Taibai and avenge the blood feud, even if it meant igniting a conflict at the two major mountain passes again, it was worth it. But there was only one Divine Sea cultivator at Jinglan Lake Pass, which was her. The original small Mountain Pass Chief, Cher Zixiong, had been transferred, whereas Dark Moon Forest Pass still had Lin Yue. If she couldn't kill with one strike, Lin Yue would definitely intervene. By then, if she had to face two opponents, she might not succeed. Moreover, Li Taibai's activity range had always been small, not giving Liew Yuemei many opportunities. Until today, Li Taibai crossed the midline of the two territories' defense, and Liew Yuemei secretly followed, seeing an opportunity; she quietly sneaked into the ground fissure, ready to strike. In such an environment, coupled with her cultivation far exceeding Li Taibai's, she was confident she could settle the fight in less than half a stick of incense. As for what problems would arise after killing Li Taibai, she couldn't be bothered to think about it. The plan was well thought out. To avoid detection by Li Taibai, she even used an extremely precious exotic treasure to follow Li Taibai smoothly into the ground fissure. However, before she could make a move, she witnessed something incomprehensible. That Lu Yiye was actually waiting here. Li Taibai approached, Lu Yiye raised his hand, and Li Taibai vanished… Even though Liew Yuemei was in the Divine Sea Level 7, she was greatly shocked by this scene. Her mind was in turmoil, and she accidentally leaked a trace of her aura. Then came the events that had just occurred. Their eyes met, and countless thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind. Though he didn't know exactly how things had come to this point, he could guess the general situation. It wasn't that he wasn't cautious enough, but more like there's no such thing as a thief for a thousand days without a thousand days of defense against a thief. Liew Yuemei was from the Tianyuan Sect, with deep family roots and likely had some rare treasures. Combined with her high cultivation, if she really wanted to conceal herself, the doppelganger would find it difficult to detect her. As many thoughts flashed by, Lu Ye already felt the murderous intent rising within. It's not that Li Taibai's identity couldn't be exposed. If it was, it was; at worst, the doppelganger wouldn't go to the Dark Moon Forest Pass again, and there wouldn't be any substantial loss. However, given the current situation, even if he was willing to reconcile, Liew Yuemei wouldn't agree. Besides, the doppelganger Li Taibai had a blood feud with her for killing her son; Liew Yuemei wouldn't rest easy, and with his main body, there was also some enmity between them. In the past, when he had drafted his third senior brother out of the Dark Moon Forest Pass, Liew Yuemei had pursued them ruthlessly during their return. If not for the timely arrivals of the sect master and Qian Wudang, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Back then, his cultivation wasn't high, and he had no power to fight back against Liew Yuemei. He could only be used as a sandbag for beating. If not for the Golden Body Token protecting him, he would have met a grim fate long ago. But now, with the passage of time, he had enough strength to compete against her. As he felt a deadly intent rising, Liew Yuemei was similarly filled with murderous intent. After all, she was well-informed; though she was momentarily shocked by the strange scene she witnessed, she quickly realized that Li Taibai was Lu Yiye's doppelganger! Although she couldn't understand how Lu Yiye, a combat cultivator, could cultivate such an exquisite Clone Technique, a mysterious secret technique generally mastered only by the top-tier magic cultivators, even she hadn't entered that level, let alone performed it. But this didn't hinder her resolve to eliminate Lu Ye right here. To her, this was an unexpected delight. Li Taibai, who had a blood feud with her for her son's death, had to be eliminated, and Lu Yiye was also no good. She had already damaged their relationship during the previous fruitless pursuit, with no chance of reconciliation. Lu Yiye's cultivation had advanced rapidly. In just two or three years, he had reached the Divine Sea Level 2. Given more time, his cultivation would surely surpass her. By then, who could guarantee this barghest wouldn't settle scores with her? If she could eliminate Lu Yiye now, it would be like removing a major worry from her heart. To kill one for the sake of two was such a good deal; how could Liew Yuemei let it slip by? Thoughts raced through their minds, all within a mere split second. In the next moment, Lu Ye charged toward Liew Yuemei with his saber, moving like lightning. Meanwhile, Liew Yuemei raised her hand and released a series of Dao techniques, launching them at Lu Ye, while quickly retreating backward. There were no verbal exchanges; they both understood each other's intent. This was destined to be a fight to the death. Liew Yuemei, born into a prestigious family with excellent aptitude and rich combat experience, naturally knew that, as a magic cultivator, the last thing she should fear was getting close to a combat cultivator, even if this combat cultivator's cultivation was far inferior to hers. As various exquisite techniques blossomed, her heart sank. In her expectations, with such a vast gap in their cultivation levels, Lu Yiye would surely be in disarray dealing with her technique offensives. But to her surprise, Lu Ye's saber skills were impenetrable and airtight. The oncoming techniques were all slashed apart mid-air, causing a disturbance in spirit force as his figure swiftly closed in. How could this be just a Divine Sea Level 2? Judging by the strength Lu Yiye was showcasing now, calling him a Divine Sea Level 5 cultivator wouldn't be an exaggeration.
