Asura Continent

The sky was clear and cloudless.

In the blink of an eye, it had already flown a thousand miles away. If one looked carefully, one could see that the flowing light was formed by a long blade. On the blade, a young man could be vaguely seen standing on it. This young man was none other than Lu Yang, who was rushing towards the ancient kingdom of Lou Lan. After three days and three nights of hurrying, he had arrived at a mountain range outside of Lou Lan's ancient country.

This mountain range was also known as the Ancient Mountain Range. On the other side of the mountain range was the Western Chu Nation, and on this side was Lou Lan's Ancient Kingdom.

Lu Yang had two reasons for coming to Lou Lan's ancient country. One was to find the Spirit Concentrating Grass, and the other was to find a way to help Han Ruoxue awaken. Regardless of whether it was the former or the latter, it was difficult for them to get up early. After all, they were foreign lands and they were unfamiliar with each other. It would be difficult for them to gather any information. And now, even Mo Zhan didn't know where to fly to.

The Ancient Mountain Range was astonishingly large, it wasn't much different from the ancient forests in the south of the Chen Clan. In such a mountain range, there lurked an unimaginably demonic beast. The majority of them were at the third stage or higher, and could compete with Core Formation experts. There were even some demon beasts that were at the fourth stage or above, but these demon beasts all had their own territory so they wouldn't sneak attack cultivators easily.

Although Lu Yang had a treasure like a spirit beast pill, he did not dare to easily fly within the forest. He chose to fly above the mountain range. After flying for a short while, they heard the angry roars of demon beasts. The roars were so loud that everyone within a hundred miles could hear them clearly. It wasn't the first time Lu Yang had interacted with demon beasts. From the angry roars of the demon beasts, he could determine that this demon beast was at least at the fourth stage of cultivation.

Lu Yang did not want to provoke such a demon beast. If it was an ordinary demon beast, then it was one thing. However, with the special characteristics of the Spirit Beast Pill, they might be able to kill it easily. On the other hand, if they met a prehistoric or ancient beast, even if they could kill them, they would have to pay a heavy price. After all, these demonic beasts all possessed powerful innate abilities.

The so-called innate divine ability was something that the demonic beast would have when it was born. This kind of divine ability could not be cultivated, and was passed down through generations through the connection between bloodlines. Under normal circumstances, this kind of demon beast was unimaginably strong, almost invincible existences in the same realm. If Lu Yang were to meet a rank 4 prehistoric beast, he would probably die here.

It was precisely because of this that Lu Yang chose to fly high in the sky. As long as he didn't provoke those demon beasts, they wouldn't cause trouble for him. Besides, Lu Yang came this time to save his father and Han Ruoxue. He didn't want to waste time on a demon beast. The speed of Lu Yang's feet was very fast. He performed the Earth Shrinking Ruler, took a few steps forward, and then flew a few thousand miles away.

Just like this, Lu Yang did not hesitate to consume a large amount of spiritual power and continuously used the Shrinking Earth Buster technique. His figure quickly jumped in the air, and with a few flashes, he flew out of the Ancient Mountain Range. Ahead was the territory of Lou Lan's ancient country. Lu Yang looked at the mountain range ahead with his eyes locked tight. He was hesitating whether he should go to the village and ask for information, or go to a cultivation clan or sect.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yang decided to go into the village first. After all, the villagers were simple and honest people; they wouldn't easily attack outsiders. Lu Yang's figure flashed and he arrived outside a village. He did not change his clothes, but instead walked into the village as a merchant from the Western Chu Nation.

The village in front of him was not big. It had a circumference of less than five kilometers. The villagers lived off of farming.

When Lu Yang arrived at the village entrance, he saw a grey robed young man quickly walking over.

When that person saw Lu Yang, his face sank and said in a stern voice, "Who are you?"

Lu Yang was startled. He didn't think that the other party would be so unfriendly, but he still politely said: "I'm a merchant from the Western Chu Nation. I'm here to get some water to drink."

"Sir, do you want some water?" The grey robed man laughed coldly and said, "From what I see, you don't seem to be here to drink water. Instead, you're here to gather information."

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. The other party was a mortal, how could he tell his identity?

However, Lu Yang's reaction was fast, and his expression remained unchanged as he said, "Brother, I'm afraid you've misunderstood! I really am a merchant, how could I come here to gather information? "

"Do you take me for a fool?" The killing intent in the gray-robed man's eyes surged. He said, "Brothers, come here and spy on him. Quickly come and kill him."

With that, countless young men ran out from the village quickly. All of them were dressed in grey, the clothes that they wore were completely different from those of the Western Chu Nation, as they were separated into the upper half of their robes and lower half of their pants. Not only that, they were even wearing strange jades on their waists. It was hard to tell what kind of material the jades were made of, but they were somewhat similar to goose warm stones. The light emitted a faint radiance on their waists.

The hundreds of people that rushed out were all body technique experts, and their cultivation had actually reached the Heaven Stage.

It was not that there were not so many young Heaven Rankers in the Western Chu Nation, but there were not that many.

It had to be known that this was just a small village. If this was the entire village of Lou Lan, how many Heaven Stage experts would there be?

Lu Yang could not imagine it. He was not in the mood to think about it, so he raised his guard and asked, "Everyone, what is the meaning of this?"

"What do you mean?" The grey robed man who first saw Lu Yang coldly said, "Brat, you're pretending to understand what's going on, aren't you? "Since you pretend to not know, then let me tell you, we are here to capture you alive and bring you to the Ancient Heaven City's prison to properly interrogate you."

Hearing this, Lu Yang rolled his eyes. He knew that these people had nothing to do with Immortal cultivators. They were the soldiers of the Lou Lan Empire, disguised as the villagers who were hiding here, capturing those who were of unknown identity. There was only one possibility. The relationship between the Western Chu Nation and the ancient kingdom of Lou Lan was very stiff. It might even be time for the start of the war.

Lu Yang bitterly smiled in his heart. He was an innocent person, yet he was involved in this matter. The Ancient Heaven City that the other party spoke of probably not only had heavy soldiers, but also had cultivators. If it was just an ordinary rogue cultivator, then it wouldn't be a big deal. However, if the cultivation clans were to participate in the battle between the two empires, then the consequences would be unimaginable.

With these thoughts flashing through his mind, Lu Yang decided to get to the bottom of this, and said: "Everyone, I was attacked first, I am really a merchant from the Western Chu Nation …"

"I don't care if you're a merchant or not, even if you are, that's still your bad luck." The grey-clothed youth sneered. His gaze of disdain simply didn't place Lu Yang in his eyes.

At this moment, one of them said, "Kabu, why are you talking so much nonsense with him. Hurry up and catch him."

Kabu smiled and gave that person a look of worry before saying: "Don't worry, that kid won't be able to run away."

Lu Yang had already figured out what was going on. It was all a coincidence that the other party caught him this time. Even if he wasn't a businessman, he would probably be caught as well. Back then, in the Lu Manor, he had read many books. Once the two armies started fighting, as long as it was a country in front of them, they would be apprehended for espionage. Whether sent back after the war or killed, it was impossible for them to survive under normal circumstances.

Lu Yang didn't want to kill these mortals, but at this moment, he had no choice. As long as he slapped the bag of holding that was hidden in his robe, a ray of light would flash and a long sword would appear in his right hand. Lu Yang tightly gripped the Blood Drinking Berserker Blade in his hand and coldly looked at the surrounding people. He enunciated word by word, "Get out of the way …"

Everyone was startled. Kabu sucked in a breath of cold air and said, "Cultivators …."

When a body technique expert faced a cultivator, even if the person had reached the Heaven Stage, they would still not be a match for the cultivator.

Even if it was a Qi Disciple level 1 cultivator, as long as he used a spell, he would be able to easily kill a Heaven Stage expert.

After everyone saw Blood Drinking Sabers, they quickly retreated. There was no longer any trace of disdain in their eyes.

However, Lu Yang didn't have any intention of letting them leave. He glanced at Kabu and said, "Come here, I have something to ask you."

A flash of worry appeared in Kabu's eyes, he seemed to have understood something, and immediately walked towards Lu Yang: "I can answer all of your questions, but you have to let go of my underlings …" As he spoke, he looked at the people behind him.

"No problem." Lu Yang had come to Lou Lan's ancient country to search for the Spirit Concentrating Grass and to save Han Ruoxue. He had never thought of killing an ordinary person.

Kabu nodded to everyone, indicating for them to return to the village. He then turned to Lu Yang and asked, "What do you want to ask me?"

"Why do you want to catch mortals?" Lu Yang asked.

"Are you mortal? "I think it's a cultivator playing the pig to eat the tiger." Kabu thought in his heart, but he continued, "The war between our Empire and the Western Chu Nation has been tense. Recently, many spies have been lurking within the Empire. The commander-in-chief has given the order that no matter who comes here, even if it is a merchant, they must be arrested so as to not reveal the secrets of the empire. "

This answer was exactly the same as Lu Yang's guess from before. He continued to ask, "Let me ask you, do you know where I can get the Soul Concentrating Grass?"

"Soul Concentrating Grass?" Kabu did not ask Lu Yang why he was looking for the Spirit Concentrating Grass, instead he answered honestly, "In the western highlands of the empire, the Spirit Concentrating Grass is everywhere …"

"Can I find anything that's over a thousand years old?" Lu Yang asked the question he was most concerned about.

Ka Bu was from Lou Lan's Ancient Country after all, so he knew a lot about the Spirit Concentrating Grass. He shook his head and said, "It's very easy to find Spirit Concentrating Grass under a hundred years old. It's almost impossible to find it after a thousand years. Soul Concentrating Grass is one of the necessary ingredients for a cultivator, and it is said that it can be used to refine many pills. If you want it, you can buy it from those large clans. "

In the following time, Lu Yang asked a few more questions, and the other party answered them one by one.

Lu Yang waved his hand at Kabu, indicating that he could leave. Then, he casted a spell, preparing to fly into the sky.

However, at this moment, a ray of light quickly came from the village. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of Kabu. "What? Do you still want to leave?"

Lu Yang's heart skipped a beat. Earlier, he had sensed the situation in the village and didn't notice any cultivators. The other party had been hiding under his divine sense for so long? Lu Yang did not have the time to think about it and was too lazy to think about it either. He hurriedly retreated and looked at the other warily, "I'm just passing by. I have no other intentions. Do you guys want to kill me too?"
