Of the three Hidden Realms in the Peerless Continent, Lu Ye had visited Silver Snake Valley, so he knew he couldn’t pin his hopes on them. However, he had made a plan. At the most critical stage, it would be impossible for those from Silver Snake Valley to steer clear of the matter.

As for the other two Hidden Realms, Lu Ye was more inclined to work with Purple Star Palace.

Their cultivators were firm and resolute, pretty much like the cultivators in Jiu Zhou. If he joined forces with them, they could achieve a breakthrough in the Peerless Continent.

It could be said that the appearance of the Fengyun Brothers was like a pillow sent to him when he was sleepy.

As many thoughts turned over in his mind, he asked, “Why are you keeping an eye on Lin Xun’s Grave?”

With a solemn expression, Fengyun Qianli replied, “It’s to destroy him, of course.”

Upon hearing his explanation, Lu Ye found out that many cultivators from Purple Star Palace, just like the Fengyun Brothers, were scattered around the world. They were either looking for the whereabouts of the powerful Corpse Race members or monitoring them. When a suitable chance arose, they could launch an attack and destroy the Corpse Race members they had targeted.

Over the years, they had killed significantly more Corpse Race members than the other two Hidden Realms combined.

When they were wandering in the outside world, they would occasionally lend a helping hand to the people from the bases. Therefore, many Humans in the bases owed them a favour. If cultivators from the Pure Land bumped into them, they would be doomed.

“Which Hidden Realm are you from, Fellow Cultivators?”

The Fengyun Brothers were curious. They were certain that these two people were not from Purple Star Palace. It had only been two months since they left their Hidden Realm, so it was impossible that two powerful cultivators like them appeared out of nowhere without their knowledge.

Nevertheless, could Silver Snake Valley or Mount Sumeru nurture such brilliant cultivators?

“We’re not from any Hidden Realm.”

The Fengyun Brothers were startled upon hearing that.

“If you’re not from a Hidden Realm, are you from a base, then?” Fengyun Wanli found it inconceivable.

It would be acceptable if the two of them came from a Hidden Realm. Even if they were from Silver Snake Valley, they were nurtured in a Hidden Realm, after all. However, it would be inconceivable if they were from a base.

The Humans in the bases were struggling to survive, so how did they even produce such brilliant cultivators?

“Well, you can say so.” Lu Ye repeated what he had said to Yuan Xiang and Zui Shan to the Fengyun Brothers, who were astounded upon hearing that. They especially respected the non-existent Honoured Master who raised Lu Ye and Ying Wuji.

After all, they were already so powerful, so it was hard to imagine how formidable their Honoured Master would be. It was amazing that there were such incredible cultivators in the world who lived reclusive lives.

“But I saw a door earlier…” Fengyun Qianli was puzzled.

It was easy to detect the opening of Silver Snake Valley’s door. That was why Lin Xun, who was dozens of kilometres away, was alerted.

It was for this reason that the Fengyun Brothers believed Lu Ye and Ying Wuji came from a Hidden Realm.

“We went to Silver Snake Valley,” Lu Ye replied.

Upon hearing that, Fengyun Qianli said, “I see.” Suddenly realising something, he said furiously, “They’re such a bunch of cowards! They deliberately opened the door near Lin Xun’s Grave to get you killed!”

Only then did Ying Wuji realise what had happened. He initially thought they were merely unlucky to come across the group of corpses, but it now seemed that they were set up by the people from Silver Snake Valley.

It was no wonder Lu Ye had stepped out of the door before it even stabilised. He must’ve realised their intention. Ying Wuji was the only one who was oblivious to everything.

“It seems that you didn’t get along well with them in Silver Snake Valley.”

“There was a misunderstanding.”

Fengyun Qianli observed Lu Ye and tried to figure out what was on his mind. After making a decision, he cupped his fists. “Fellow Cultivators, why don’t you visit Purple Star Palace? Not all Hidden Realms treat their guests like those from Silver Snake Valley. If you visit our Hidden Realm, I’m sure the Palace Master will be pleased.”

The two of them were immensely powerful. After their Honoured Master passed away, they ventured into the outside world and intended to join a Hidden Realm. Unfortunately, their experience in Silver Snake Valley wasn’t a pleasant one, and those from the Hidden Realm even dumped them and tried to make use of Lin Xun to kill them.

Certainly, they didn’t expect the two of them to be so unimaginably powerful. In the end, Lin Xun was killed instead.

There was no doubt Purple Star Palace would welcome such outstanding cultivators. It would be good news for them if these two people could side with them.

“What do you think, Junior Brother?” Instead of directly agreeing to their request, Lu Ye turned to look at Ying Wuji.

[Does my opinion even matter?] Ying Wuji secretly lamented. [Just agree to it if you want to. What’s the point of you putting on an act?]

Despite his thoughts, he replied obediently, “You’ll call the shots, Senior Brother.”

Lu Ye fell deep in thought while the Fengyun Brothers looked nervously at him. A moment later, Lu Ye finally made a decision. “In that case, we’ll visit Purple Star Palace.”

The Fengyun Brothers guffawed at the same time. Fengyun Qianli then said, “Don’t worry, Fellow Cultivator. You won’t be disappointed.”

Although Fengyun Wanli appeared boorish, he was observant. “You’ve just gone through a battle, so why don’t you get some rest? We’ll get going tomorrow. Just to let you know that we’ve decided to launch an attack on Lin Xun’s Grave tomorrow, and many of our cultivators in the Hidden Realm are ready. When the Hidden Realm reaches this place, they’ll open the door. Now that Lin Xun is dead, we’re spared the trouble.”

“That’s right. We can get some rest together, and tomorrow, we’ll bring you to the place where the door will open.”

Since they had said so, Lu Ye wouldn’t object to it.

He had expended himself earlier. Although he had consumed some pills, he needed time to restore his power. That was why he had built a Ward there and waited for the Fengyun Brothers to step right into it.

Ying Wuji was in an even worse state. Since he was injured, he needed to recuperate.

The Ward wasn’t retracted. Ying Wuji went somewhere else to recuperate while Lu Ye talked to the Fengyun Brothers in an attempt to find out information he didn’t know.

Since the Fengyun Brothers wanted him to side with them, they wouldn’t hide anything from them. Moreover, what Lu Ye was asking about was common sense, and the secrets of Purple Star Palace were not involved.

After a conversation, the Fengyun Brothers confirmed that it was the first time Lu Ye and Ying Wuji ventured into the outside world. They were elated that they came across such brilliant cultivators while carrying out a task. It seemed that they were lucky.

The night went by peacefully. The next morning, Lu Ye had fully recovered. Although Ying Wuji was still wounded, he was in a much better state than the day before.

When it was time, the Fengyun Brothers led the way while Lu Ye and Ying Wuji followed them.

Somewhere near the battlefield from the day before, the Fengyun Brothers stopped in their tracks.

Those from Purple Star Palace had come up with a plan to attack Lin Xun’s Grave. They would execute the plan when the Hidden Realm reached this place. As such, the door would be opened near the grave.

Meanwhile, many cultivators were ready near the door of Purple Star Palace. The person at the head was a clean-cut woman clad in men’s clothing.

Normally, a woman would try to conceal her female characteristics by wearing male clothing, but it was impossible for her to hide her natural softness.

However, although this woman was wearing male clothing, she didn’t have the intention of hiding the fact that she was a woman. Despite her beauty, she appeared resolute. The softness of a woman and the firmness of a man were perfectly blended into her.

Her eyes were as bright as the Stars, but they were also as sharp as those of an eagle.

She looked like she was only in her early twenties, but her aura was ample. She was just as powerful as those highly ranked in the Fight for Supremacy.

The woman was the current Palace Master of Purple Star Palace, Pang Huanyin.

Over the past 1,000 years, rarely any woman could become the Palace Master, not to mention at such a young age.

Despite her age, Pang Huanyin managed to become the Palace Master because she was powerful enough.

She had also inherited the traits of those in Purple Star Palace since time immemorial. Even though she was a woman, she was more unwavering than many men. She was also adamant about destroying all the Corpse Race members.

Those from Purple Star Palace had targeted powerful Corpse Race members on many occasions. Although Lin Xun was menacing, the Palace Master wasn’t required to personally make a move.

The reason she was there was to observe the power of the two guests.

Several days ago, the cultivators in the outside world discovered two incredibly powerful cultivators. They were able to easily destroy the Corpse Race members. Out of admiration, they approached the two of them and decided to bring them back to Purple Star Palace.

Pang Huanyin didn’t care about their background or if they came from one of the Hidden Realms. As long as they could kill Corpse Race members, they would be accepted and welcomed in Purple Star Palace.

After several days of observation, Pang Huanyin discovered that they were indeed a force to be reckoned with. However, she found it strange that even though they claimed they were not from a Hidden Realm, it didn’t seem like they were from a base either.

That was because she could feel that even though they were polite, they exuded an indescribable sense of pride. It was just like herself.

People like them were usually from extraordinary backgrounds.

Nevertheless, considering the situation in the Peerless Continent, if they were not from a Hidden Realm, how noble could their background be?

There were many things that were suspicious about them. Pang Huanyin wouldn’t accept people she didn’t trust, and once she decided to trust them, she would accept them wholeheartedly. As such, she came to this place to evaluate them.

That was because the people who recommended the two of them had a lot of praise for their powers.

An elderly person approached her and saluted her before reporting, “We’ve arrived at our destination, Palace Master. Do we need to activate the Sky Mirror?”

“There’s no need for that. Lin Xun is fairly powerful. If we use the Sky Mirror, he might find out our presence. Open the door directly!”

“Yes,” the elderly person said and walked away to execute her order.

The cultivators who had been waiting there secretly activated their powers.

In front of these cultivators, a spear-holding unruly man licked his lips, ready to fight. Beside him, there was a sedate man who was clad in green clothes. He sported a faint smile as though the imminent battle didn’t concern him. He was even looking forward to it.
