Looking at Youluo’s excited expression and the occasional glance in his direction, Lu Ye smiled faintly.
He understood what Youluo meant.
However, it was too early to discuss these matters now; at least he should wait until he ascends to the Celestial Human Realm.
Moreover, unless the threat of the Celestial Demon Divine Sect is eliminated, there’s always a feeling that they might stir up some big trouble.
This is also why Lu Ye chooses to take action whenever he encounters people from the Celestial Demon Divine Sect.
These heretical demonic paths must not be allowed to wreak havoc on the mainland.
In this small town, the two did not stay for long, leaving early the next morning.
They continued their journey, heading from Qing Province toward Wu Province.
Midway, Youluo thought for a while and suddenly mentioned something.
"By the way, Master Husband, there’s something I might need to tell you," Youluo said.
"Not long ago, one of Youluo Sect’s subordinates sent me information saying there seems to be a problem with the Red Cloud Sect."
Upon hearing this, Lu Ye slowed his high-speed movement slightly, turned back with some surprise, and asked, "What did you say?"
Red Cloud Sect?
Suddenly, the image of Red Cloud Fairy Xiao Qingyin appeared in Lu Ye’s mind.
It seems that since their last journey together to the Rabbit Demon Territory in Qing Province, she had disappeared.
Lu Ye had searched for her a few times afterward but to no avail and did not find any information about her.
From the Communication Jade Token, Lu Ye deduced that she should no longer be in this realm.
He wondered if she had accidentally strayed into some other small world.
Hearing news about the Red Cloud Sect again, Lu Ye felt a bit curious; what had happened to the Red Cloud Sect...?
"What happened? Tell me," Lu Ye asked.
"Earlier, I received information that the current Sect Leader of the Red Cloud Sect seems to be in trouble..."
Youluo said, "It seems there’s dissatisfaction with her leadership among the Elder Council, and they want to remove her from the position of Sect Leader."
Lu Ye: "?"
Is there such a thing?
To Lu Ye, the Red Cloud Sect is now quite insignificant, so he hadn’t paid much attention to it since and didn’t know about this incident.
He remembered that the current Sect Leader was appointed with Xiao Qingyin’s recommendation; he didn’t expect that after just one or two years, the position as Sect Leader would become unstable.
Clearly, in terms of methods, compared to the former Red Cloud Fairy, there’s still quite a gap. Of course, there’s also a big difference in strength.
"I remember the new Sect Leader’s strength is only Innate, so it’s normal to not be able to suppress those old guys," Lu Ye thought and said.
This kind of situation is common, both in past and present lives. The root cause is that she lacks both qualifications and strength, so she can’t command respect.
Xiao Qingyin was different, having led the Red Cloud Sect for decades to the scale it had back then, even entering the ranks of the Three Great Sects.
Even if those old guys wanted to disobey, it would be impossible.
After pondering for a while, Lu Ye planned to take the time to visit the Red Cloud Sect after returning from Wu Province.
In fact, in the past two years, his relationship with Xiao Qingyin had eased a lot, and she had helped him twice before.
Lu Ye thought if he could stabilize the situation of the Red Cloud Sect, it would be worthwhile.
As the two conversed, they had already left a thousand miles behind them.
After half a day, the border of Yuan Province was close at hand.
"Master Husband, we are so fast!" Seeing this, Youluo couldn’t help but say excitedly.
Crossing a province in just half a day is something even ordinary Earth Realm Grandmasters couldn’t even dream of achieving.
Even for typical Celestial Realm beings, the speed is generally not as fast as this.
Of course, to Youluo before, she had experienced even faster speeds.
However, traveling with Lu Ye now, the experience was new for Youluo, so she was sincerely happy.
Indeed, Lu Ye thought of this too, smiling slightly, "For you, with even higher realms before, the speed should have been faster, yet why does this speed excite you?"
Youluo straightforwardly said, "It’s different."
Having a different person beside you!
Seeing Youluo’s serious expression, Lu Ye smiled.
He actually understood what Youluo meant.
However, some things don’t necessarily need to be spoken aloud.
For example, Youluo’s interest in human weddings, Lu Ye was also aware.
When the time is right, Lu Ye wouldn’t hesitate.
In his previous life on Blue Star, he had neither married nor started a family; marrying here wouldn’t be bad either.
After a short while, crossing the border of Yuan Province, they entered Qing Province.
"Master Husband, you have an alias in Yuan Province and seem to have quite a reputation there. Do you have one in Qing Province too?"
Youluo thought it would be amusing if her Master Husband had a different name in each province.
If one day the truth were revealed, and people from these provinces found out that the renowned pinnacle masters in their province were actually the same person...
She wondered what their expressions would be.
Seeing Youluo bursting into laughter, this time Lu Ye couldn’t guess what she was thinking.
After entering Qing Province, the heavily armored troops were still visible everywhere.
The current situation in Qing Province had changed; previously, Yuan Wang held uncontested power, thanks to the backing of the Qing Province State Preceptor, Yin Wuxiao.
Now, with Yuan Wang’s biggest backing gone, his power was also greatly diminished.
The lands he originally held were quickly shrinking.
At the same time, another Vassal King force named Cheng Wang was rising.
From the rough news Lu Ye gathered in a short time, he learned that Cheng Wang also had a supporter.
This made Lu Ye’s expression... a bit peculiar.
"Why does it feel like Cheng Wang’s path to power is so similar to Yuan Wang’s?"
Could it be...
As this thought occurred to him, Lu Ye felt he might need to have a look at Cheng Wang’s situation.
If it were true that Cheng Wang also had an invisible hand supporting him, and this hand belonged to the Celestial Demon Divine Sect, then it would need to be removed.
After all, backing these Vassal King forces means they wouldn’t lack any resources.
At least the visible resources on the surface could be easily found.
Such a boon to their power recovery was something Lu Ye didn’t want to see.
"We might need to stay in Qing Province for a day or two to assess the situation,"
Lu Ye said after careful consideration.
"Staying in Qing Province for a while? Fine, I have no objections; whatever you say, Master Husband,"
Youluo said with a smile.
After all, her main intention in coming was just to stay close to Lu Ye.
