Zui Shan became the leader of this base because of his moral conduct and his cultivation.

He was the strongest cultivator in the base, but the enemy was apparently more powerful than he was.

The next moment, seven to eight figures entered the cavern as well.

The people behind Zui Shan appeared despondent, knowing that they were doomed.

The person at the head had an aquiline nose. With a smug and evil expression, he swept a glance over them with his eagle-like eyes and said grimly, “We’re from the Pure Land. All of you had better surrender without a fight. Otherwise, we’ll torture you to death!”

The people behind him spread and activated their Spiritual Powers to manifest their cultivation.

The atmosphere was intense.

A furious Zui Shan snapped. “All of us are Humans, but instead of going against the Corpse Race, you’re attacking the weaker Humans. Where’s your conscience?”

The eerie-looking cultivator sneered. “Conscience? What’s that? In this chaotic era, power is everything. Weak people like you are destined to be killed by the Corpse Race and become part of them yourselves. In that case, you should submit yourselves to us to help strengthen our powers. Only when we’re powerful enough will the Humans stand a chance to survive. Stupid people like you will never understand the noble goals of the Pure Land.”

“Everything you’ve said is nonsense!” Zui Shan growled.

The wicked cultivator wasn’t interested in wasting more time on him. Just as he was ready to raise his hand and give an order, a figure suddenly emerged from the shadows in silence.

Before he appeared, no one had noticed him. Presently, he stood closely behind the wicked cultivator.

A glint of disbelief flashed across Zui Shan’s eyes. [Isn’t he Ying Wuji, our guest?]

He wasn’t even aware that the other party had stayed behind and hidden somewhere.

Some noise was heard as if something had been penetrated. Zui Shan’s eyes dilated as he saw something he found inconceivable.

The evil man, who was ready to give an order, was suddenly rooted to the spot. He felt a pain in his chest, and a sense of lethargy swept over him.

Realising something, he looked down and saw a blade sticking out of his chest without him knowing it.

“When did it…” he muttered under his breath. Although he wanted to resist, he was unable to activate his Spiritual Power at all. He could also feel his vitality leaving him fast.

The turn of events astounded the cultivators from the Pure Land. They quickly leapt away and looked intently, after which they were dumbfounded.

The strongest cultivator among them was killed without anyone seeing how it even happened.

Another sound was heard as Ying Wuji retracted his machete and uttered impassively, “You’ve said it well. Don’t say that again in your next life!”

Following that, the man collapsed to the ground. His life had left his body, and the ground was dyed red.

All of them were horrified, feeling cold all over their bodies.

Zui Shan had never expected his guest to have such insidious abilities. If this amazing move was used against him, he wouldn’t be able to resist it either. Just like the wicked man, he would die without knowing how it even happened.

He soon came to his senses and ordered, “Kill them all!”

The turn of events had scared their enemies out of their wits. As such, it was the best time to kill them.

After Zui Shan gave the order, he took the initiative to charge forward. The people behind him came to their senses and did the same.

Ying Wuji wielded his machetes and charged around like a wolf in a herd of sheep.

Deep down, he was extremely pleased, for he could prove that he was a powerful Cloud River Realm Master. During the Fight for Supremacy, he had been contending with the most brilliant Cloud River Realm Masters in Jiu Zhou. He had suffered many setbacks and felt crestfallen. Ever since he came across Lu Ye, he had been deep in self-doubt, thinking that he might be too weak.

When he arrived in this world, he had to run away from a group of corpses. On the other hand, Lu Ye could easily settle the problem and even save his life. That worsened his self-doubt.

It wasn’t until this moment that he bumped into normal opponents. He also finally came to the realisation that he wasn’t weak. It was just that Lu Ye was too powerful.

After the battle, Zui Shan and the others managed to kill two enemies while the rest were destroyed by Ying Wuji.

No longer feeling dejected, he was comfortable in his own skin. He couldn’t help but shout, “It feels so good!”

Zui Shan and the others looked dazedly at him, awestruck by his abilities.

“What are you waiting for? Let’s go!” Ying Wuji said to them cheerfully, apparently in a good mood. He then dashed into the secret passageway.

Only then did Zui Shan and the rest regain their senses. One person stayed there to collect the booty while the rest hurriedly followed him.

Meanwhile, Lu Ye was moving forward in the passageway when he suddenly saw a person coming his way.

Xu Wang, who was at the back, barked, “Damn it! They’ve even found our secret passageway!”

The thing he was most worried about eventually happened.

Xiao Wu was the one who exposed the base. Except for Zui Shan and Xu Wang, no one else knew where the secret passageway led to. Certainly, Xiao Wu wasn’t aware of it either.

Every base had its own secret passageway.

Since those from the Pure Land wanted to attack their base, they would naturally look for the exit of the passageway in nearby places. Xu Wang was hoping that they wouldn’t find it, but now, it seemed that it was just his wishful thinking.

“Where are all of you going?” The person was a woman. They couldn’t clearly see her face in the dim light, but her voice was soft and sweet. Anybody would want to speak to her for a longer time.

It seemed that she had been waiting there for quite a while. When she spoke, her voice was tinged with excitement. It wasn’t certain what she was looking forward to.

Since she was already there, there must be more people behind her.

In such a narrow passageway, the situation wasn’t in the favour of the people from the base. Once they got into a fight, the cultivators from the base might not be a match for them, and many of the commoners would be killed.

“You’re so young. I’ve not seen a young man as handsome as you are in a long time. Come and speak to me…” When the woman made out Lu Ye’s face, she started trying to enchant him.

At the same time, she stepped forward and extended her hand. Despite her delicate hand, her nails were sharp and radiated a metallic glow.

The next moment, Lu Ye unsheathed his saber. After a fiery Saber Light flickered, the people behind Lu Ye saw how flabbergasted the woman was, and her scream abruptly stopped.

Lu Ye kept moving forward without even stopping.

The woman collapsed behind him, and a metallic tang permeated the air.

When the cultivators behind Lu Ye arrived, they only saw the woman’s corpse lying on the ground.

“He killed her with only one move…” All of their eyes widened in disbelief.

When the woman made a move earlier, her aura showed that she was powerful. These people reckoned that they wouldn’t be a match for her.

To the cultivators in the base, the woman could be considered formidable. The only person who could defeat her was their leader, Zui Shan.

Despite that, she was easily killed by the young man who used a saber. They hadn’t even managed to sense how powerful the young man truly was.

Xu Wang felt his eyelids twitching.

Such a power was horrifying. It was no wonder Lu Ye was able to kill the zombie, who destroyed Yu Zhen and his team, and he saved Yuan Xiang as well.

Considering his power, the people from the base would never be able to fend him off if he were to attack them.

Finally, Xu Wang could confirm that this guest had no malicious intentions against them.

In front of them, the fluctuations of battles were briefly seen. Every fiery Saber Light meant the death of an enemy.

As they moved forward in the passageway, they could see the corpses of their enemies lying on the ground.

Even the reckless cultivators from the Pure Land were terrified. They had been waiting there to intercept the people from the base. Much to their surprise, a ruthless monster named Lu Ye was coming their way.

In just a brief moment, even more people were killed. The rest of the cultivators from the Pure Land hurriedly retreated, not daring to stay there any longer.

Lu Ye sauntered forward while the commoners and cultivators behind him remained quiet and organised.

It wasn’t until an hour later that they saw the light at the end of the passageway. They had finally reached the exit.

Around 300 metres away from the exit, Lu Ye suddenly stopped in his tracks and ordered, “Stay right here. Only come out when I tell you to.”

The cultivators, who were ordered by Xu Wang to keep an eye on Lu Ye, replied instinctively, “Yes!”

The people behind them didn’t see what was going on along the way, but these cultivators had been following Lu Ye, so they knew what had happened, and they respected him wholeheartedly.

Lu Ye walked towards the light and left the passageway. In an instant, many auras locked onto him.

He squinted and saw that more than ten people had surrounded him with vigilance.

A particularly short cultivator quacked like a duck, saying, “Hey, brat! Are you the one who killed our people?”

They had realised how powerful Lu Ye was following the death of their companions, but they had no intention of retreating.

Since it was hard to fight in the passageway, they decided to wait outside. With more than ten people on their side, they had the confidence to defeat Lu Ye.

Deep down, they felt odd. From what they had gathered, the only decent cultivator in this base was Zui Shan.

However, the person before their eyes didn’t match the information they had gathered. Zui Shan was supposed to be a middle-aged man, but this person was very young.

Lu Ye remained silent while Amber, who was crouching on his shoulder, was ready to growl.

“Shh…” Lu Ye placed a finger on his lips.

In this apocalyptic era, they’d better not make a loud noise. If Amber growled, some trouble might come their way.

As such, Amber yawned and languidly crouched down on his shoulder again. The tiger felt that its power wasn’t needed while they were in the Peerless Continent.

[Forget it. I’m just a tiger. What’s the point of me overthinking things?]
