Chapter 294: Seize the Jade Pendant
d the way, Xie Jintao Tian Gang rode in the middle, Song Scorpion and Qiaoqiao followed behind.In the end, it was decided that Lu Ye would take his place.To everyone's surprise, the subsequent battles...What relieved Lu Ye was that after he revealed himself, there was no attack. He slightly restrained his aura and then ran towards the crowded area, looking hurried.
< the plan has progressed to this point, it is basically half successful.

From then on, he didn't need to deliberately conceal his whereabouts. A garrison had several hundred people, including those from the main sect, those who relied on the outer sect, and some attached casual cultivators. It was impossible for all the cultivators to know each other, so it wouldn't matter much even if someone saw him, unless someone who knew Lu Ye could recognize his identity at a glance.
Moreover, it's still night, making it even more convenient to act.
Their home base was under attack, and they had gathered in small groups here. Though they weren't worried about their formation being broken, they still needed to be on guard and take precautions.
When Lu Ye rushed over from the rear of the base, he did attract quite a bit of attention. Most people just glanced at him and moved on, after all, no one could have imagined that under the intact protective barrier, someone would be able to sneak in unnoticed.
A few people cast a glance at Lu Ye, but found him unfamiliar. They didn't think much of it either. There were always some unfamiliar faces in the residences of major sects, most of whom came from other sects to affiliate themselves or recent wandering cultivators. As cultivators often retreated to practice and traveled outside, no one could claim to know everyone in the residence.
Gu參陽, who stood outside the crowd, couldn't help but twitch his eyes when he saw Lu Ye blend in with the people.
He secretly reflected that it seemed like he still had to set up some simple formations at the base, just in case an enemy snuck in like this again without anyone knowing. He didn't need to set up anything too complex, just some simple warning formations. That way, even if someone could sneak into the base as stealthily as Lu Ye, their presence would be exposed.
Just as he was lost in thought, Lu Ye had already arrived five zhang outside Yue Mei's side.
Before he even entered the main encampment, he had seen this woman hiding in the shadows. He also knew from Gu參陽's intel that she was the guardian of Feng Hua Yuan. She wore a form-fitting court gown that accentuated her graceful figure.
This is a magic repair!
When Lu Ye Xiu was very low, what he hated most were Fa Xiu and Luo Ji Dong Shu Ye. These two guys really gave him a big psychological shadow.
After being patched up by such soldiers, Fa Xiu's end is usually quite tragic.
It can be said that cultivators of the same level generally cannot make any waves in front of him, even if their cultivation is one or two levels higher than his.
Yue Mei's cultivation was undoubtedly at the ninth level of Lingxi, and she was already close to advancing to the next level.
Originally, her plan was to wait for Chuqing's return and then transfer the position of Commander-in-Chief to her, and then select a deputy commander from within the clan.
It's a pity that Chu Qing died in Xianyuan City. As a result, the previously selected deputy envoy also died. This means that even though a month has passed, the position of deputy envoy at Feng Huayuan is still vacant. The entire Feng Huayuan relies on her alone to shoulder the burden.
It is said that the several elders of the sect have been arguing incessantly over this deputy envoy position. They all want their disciples to take on the role, as being a deputy envoy comes with quite a few benefits. Not only does the monthly salary increase, but it's also easier to acquire military merit. Yue Mei is nearing the end of her term, meaning that whoever gets the deputy envoy position now can quickly be promoted permanently.
After this incident, she had to quickly urge the sect to decide on a deputy envoy. Yue Mei secretly made up her mind that this matter could not be delayed any longer.
Just as she was thinking this, a sudden alarm went off in her mind. At the same time, a flash of movement caught her eye as a figure dashed towards her rapidly.
She quickly turned her head and saw a young boy with his head bowed, already within three zhang of her.
In that month, Mei was suddenly terrified. She had never seen this boy before!
As the Zhenwu General of Feng Hua Yuan, she knew everyone in the garrison. Whether they were from her own sect, an outer sect, or attached cultivators, even if she wasn't very familiar with them, she could at least recognize them and call out their names.
It can be said that throughout the entire Feng Hua Yuan, only she and the deceased Chu Qing knew everyone, because no matter if those cultivators were outsiders or attached loose cultivators, they had to pass through the two of them to enter the base.
Although the boy approaching was bowing his head, Yue Mei could still make out his general features under the moonlight.
Therefore, she could be certain that she had never seen this young man, and even today before, this young man had never appeared at the base of their sect.

Yue Mei's strength is quite good. Just this hand of instant spellcasting technique shows her depth. This kind of spell technique wouldn't be too powerful, but it would be enough to repel most cultivators at the eighth level.

Death is like a beast, with a hot, bloody tongue, licking her soul and making her tremble. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
A grating screech pierced the air, scenes flashing before Mei Yue's eyes like a carousel. A powerful force surged from her throat, slamming against her cervical spine with such force it nearly shattered. Brilliant fluorescence trailed the blade's movement, and a sharp pang stabbed at her throat.
Yue Mei immediately came back to her senses. In that instant, she had almost instinctively channeled her spiritual energy, forming a barrier at her neck. She didn't even have time to react and wonder why she did it.
Though it was an instinctive move, she couldn't deny that it saved her life. The blade Lu Ye had aimed at her throat shattered the luminous barrier of her spiritual energy before exploding into a burst of light.
This kind of spiritual barrier activated by a cultivator is similar to a defensive spirit inscription, both providing powerful protection. This is a type of spell, so basically every cultivator will cast it.
In his plan, as long as he could get within five zhang of Yue Mei and launch a surprise attack with his sword, he had an 80% chance of killing her in one strike. But reality rarely meets expectations. Yue Mei was too vigilant and her reflexes were too quick, causing his strike to fall short of its full potential. Although he managed to injure her, the wound wasn't fatal.

Time was of the essence, he had no time for more attempts.
