The green light turned around and returned to Wu Xie, who seemed to have transformed into a sword that had been unsheathed.

Right after the saber and the sword clashed, both parties retracted their weapons. Lu Ye flew away for dozens of metres as his blood sprinkled across the sky. On his shoulder, Amber remained majestic as their vitalities intertwined with one another.

On the other hand, Wu Xie flew backwards for dozens of metres as well. His black clothes were soaked in blood. He stared fixedly at Lu Ye as though trying to mark his figure in the deepest part of his memory. Then, he glowered in the hut’s direction and bellowed, “I’ll get even with you, b*tch!”

With that, he turned around and left.

Such a powerful Sixth-Order Master that came out of nowhere wasn’t that much of a threat. The crux of the problem was that he had been poisoned without him realising it.

He wasn’t aware of it the entire time. It wasn’t until he exchanged moves with Lu Ye that he realised something was off with his body.

In this world, no one else could stealthily poison him apart from the Divine Healer. Still, he had no idea when he was struck with the poison.

At the same time, he was astounded by the Divine Healer’s horrifying moves. Fortunately, the woman would never kill anyone, and the poison she had used wasn’t lethal. Otherwise, he would’ve lost his life.

“Has he run away just like that?”

All the cultivators were dumbfounded, feeling as though they were in a dream.

When Wu Xie emerged from the Valley of Medicine, these cultivators, who were there to seek medical treatment, felt that they were doomed. They had the guts to attack the cultivators from Heavenly Gully Cult because their opponents weren’t that powerful, and Lu Ye had made the first move.

However, faced with a famous cultivator like Wu Xie, they didn’t have the courage to kick up a storm.

They initially thought that Lu Ye was bound to go to Hell, and all of them would be killed as well. Nevertheless, the outcome turned out to be surprising.

They weren’t aware that Wu Xie had been poisoned, so they thought that Lu Ye had injured the other party and chased him away. At that moment, they were amazed by Lu Ye’s power.

Besides them, the surviving cultivators from Heavenly Gully Cult were equally astonished. Since the Ninth Elder had run away, they naturally wouldn’t dare to stay there any longer as they ran for their lives.

No one ran after them, and they were soon gone.

It was only then did Lu Ye land on the ground and fall into his thoughts.

He had been practising Tyrant Blade Technique as of late. However, strictly speaking, it was his second time dealing with an opponent using the technique.

As expected, cultivating on his own and dealing with an opponent were two different things. When he activated the Tyrant Blade Technique in such a life-and-death battle, his understanding of the technique was strengthened, which helped with his cultivation of the technique.

All in all, he had obtained a lot of benefits.

He had no idea that Wu Xie had decided to flee because the latter had been poisoned. Nevertheless, Wu Xie’s words before he left made Lu Ye realise that the owner of the Valley must’ve done something to him, which made him feel threatened.

Even if the battle went on, Lu Ye wouldn’t be afraid. Although he wouldn’t be a match for Wu Xie in a short time, he had the confidence to defeat the other party as long as he could hold on for a bit longer.

Regardless, both Bloodrage and Beast Form required one to be well-prepared before he could activate their powers.

If the battle was so intense that he had no choice but to use Beast Form, there was no doubt Wu Xie would be doomed. The heritages of the Ninth-Order Masters in this world were unimaginably ample. However, Wu Xie was only the Ninth Elder. It could be expected that the people who were ranked above him must be even more powerful.

“Are you alright, Brother Ye?” Zhuang Bufan asked caringly. Lu Ye looked horrible as his clothes were all tattered, and the flesh around his wounds had been rolled up.

Lu Ye shook his head in response. “I’m fine.”

Admiration was written all over Zhuang Bufan’s face as he said, “You’re incredible, Brother Ye.”

He initially thought that Lu Ye came from one of the top Sects, but it dawned on him who Lu Ye was when he witnessed the latter’s amazing attack.

[Isn’t Ye Six the Sixth Young Master of Tyrant Blade Manor? There’s no doubt the ferocious attack was Tyrant Blade Technique.]

He had heard about what had happened to Tyrant Blade Manor, but he knew little about the incident.

Just then, a beautiful medical assistant who looked like she was thirteen or fourteen years old came over from the deepest part of the Valley of Medicine. She saluted all of them and said clearly, “My Master would like to invite you to go inside, Senior Brothers.”

Lu Ye saluted her back. “I’m sorry for breaking the Valley’s rules. I hope your Master will forgive me.”

The medical assistant shook her head with a smile, motioning for Lu Ye to be at ease.

Those from Heavenly Gully Cult arrived at this place out of the blue and brusquely cordoned off the valley. The medical assistants were naturally displeased, but there was nothing they could do since they were weak. Now, Lu Ye had helped them chase Wu Xie away and kill some cultivators from the Cult. The medical assistants were grateful for what he had done for them, so they wouldn’t mind him breaking the rules.

“Please go in first, my friend.” One of the cultivators extended his hand.

The others also motioned for Lu Ye to enter the valley first.

Powerful cultivators were respected anywhere in the world, and it was no exception in Soaring Dragon Boundary. Having witnessed Lu Ye’s fight with Wu Xie, no one would underestimate him because of his age and cultivation.

Moreover, without Lu Ye, they would’ve still been unable to enter the valley.

Therefore, it was only natural that they’d let Lu Ye see the Divine Healer first.

Lu Ye didn’t turn them down as he supported Zhuang Bufan’s weight and entered the valley. Yi Yi was the second to step into the valley while carrying Ye Liuli. They were followed by the other cultivators.

Soon, there was no one at the entrance. Only the traces of blood and corpses on the ground showed that there had been a fight.

With the medical assistant leading the way, they soon arrived at the hut, which was in the centre of the valley.

The medical assistant bowed and said, “They’re here, Master.”

Lu Ye cupped his fists and said, “Greetings, Divine Healer. I’m Ye Six from Feng Zhou. Please help my Sister Ye Liuli and my friend Zhuang Bufan!”

“It’s a doctor’s duty to help others, so you don’t have to be overly polite with me. Please come in.” A soft voice sounded from the hut. The voice seemed to have a special power that made one feel like a spring breeze was whisking through him. Just by listening to the voice, one would feel at ease.

However, Lu Ye and Yi Yi appeared shocked as they exchanged glances. They could see that both of them were equally astounded.

With a frown, Lu Ye said, “Sorry for bothering you, then.”

Following that, he stepped into the hut.

The place wasn’t spacious, and it was filled with the smells of all sorts of herbs. A curvy figure came into their sight. Since her back was to Lu Ye, he couldn’t see her face. She was clad in a light green dress, and her long black hair extended to her waist.

The woman seemed to be meticulously mixing up some herbs.

She was none other than the owner of the Valley of Medicine, the Divine Healer.

Lu Ye stared fixedly at the woman’s figure while Yi Yi was dumbfounded.

A moment later, Yi Yi turned to look at Lu Ye and parted her lips, but she didn’t say anything.

Knowing what was on her mind, Lu Ye shook his head.

Following that, Lu Ye stepped forward and stood in front of the Divine Healer before staring fixedly at her face while Zhuang Bufan looked in shock.

Lu Ye’s pupils dilated when he made out the woman’s face as his thumb subconsciously rubbed against the hilt of the Inviolable Saber.

[What are you doing, man!?]

Zhuang Bufan was astonished deep within. If not for the fact that he was badly injured, he would’ve charged forward and pulled Lu Ye back.

They were there to seek medical treatment, so it was inappropriate that Lu Ye stared at the Divine Healer’s face like that.

The Divine Healer was one of the most respectable figures in Soaring Dragon Boundary. No one dared to underestimate her just because she was a woman. Although she was alluring, one shouldn’t gape at her like this.

Moreover, Zhuang Bufan could tell that Lu Ye wasn’t a licentious person.

While feeling anxious, he started coughing violently.

The Divine Healer furrowed her brows, clearly displeased with Lu Ye for staring at her from such a short distance.

No one had ever dared to do that before.

She stopped mixing up the herbs and glanced at Lu Ye before asking curiously, “Is there anything on my face, little friend?”

[Little friend!?]

It was awkward that a familiar-looking person called him ‘little friend’.

Lu Ye squinted and replied calmly, “No. I just think that you look familiar.”

In fact, he was close to the person who looked identical to the Divine Healer.

When Lu Ye and Yi Yi heard the Divine Healer’s voice earlier, they found it inconceivable. That was because her voice sounded just like Hua Ci’s. However, in comparison, the Divine Healer’s voice sounded more mature.

When they entered the hut and saw the Divine Healer’s figure, they were even more amazed.

Just by looking at the woman’s figure, they felt that the person before their eyes was Hua Ci.

Therefore, even though Lu Ye felt that it was unlikely to be the case, he still had to take a look. That was why he eagerly stepped forward and gaped at her.

When he made out her face, he almost couldn’t contain his urge to ask her what she was doing there.

That was because the Divine Healer and Hua Ci looked identical.

If he had come across such a woman on the Cloud River Battlefield, he would’ve assumed that Hua Ci had ascended to the Cloud River Realm and arrived at the place.

Nevertheless, they were now in Soaring Dragon Boundary.

He was transported to this place from the dangerous area outside Hundred Wards Tower. On the entire Cloud River Battlefield, only he was able to repair the Teleportation Ward.

As such, there was no way Hua Ci could enter this place.

Also, his Battlefield Imprint didn’t react in any way.

One had to know that he, Hua Ci, and Yi Yi were the disciples of the Crimson Blood Sect with Battlefield Imprints that were exclusive to the Sect. When they were close enough, they were able to detect each other.

Back then, Mo Yuan, his Eldest Senior Sister, barged into the Spirit Creek Battlefield despite being a Real Lake Realm Master. Although Lu Ye had never heard of her or seen her before, the reaction from his Battlefield Imprint made him realise that they were from the same Sect.

However, the woman, who looked and sounded like Hua Ci, didn’t have a Battlefield Imprint, which proved that they were not the same person.

Furthermore, the woman before Lu Ye’s eyes seemed to be more mature than Hua Ci.

In truth, Hua Ci wasn’t old. Lu Ye estimated that she was only older than him by one to two years. Nevertheless, she was experienced and charming.

On the other hand, the Divine Healer was mature and alluring.

The woman seemed to be a more mature version of Hua Ci, and she was enchanting.
