Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 403 - 401: New Entry at Ninth Place on the Demon Saint Stele List! Mortal Realm Grandmaster Seventh Layer Middle Stage, Did the Princess Track Down Lu Ye?
Lu Ye glanced; previously, the city gate inspection had nothing to do with him, but this time...
It was indeed his portrait.
Lu Ye couldn’t have expected that the Celestial Wolf Race would get so serious.
As someone posted the notice, it immediately attracted a crowd in the plaza, gathering to watch.
"What exactly did this person do to the Celestial Wolf Princess Qin Qingqing to warrant putting up a notice in Demon Saint City?"
"Yeah, I’m curious too, the foundation of the Celestial Wolf Race isn’t weak. In our Demon Saint City’s Stone Monument list, the ninth and the sixth are both from the Celestial Wolf Race, aren’t they?"
"But the reward is really generous..."
Facing these discussions, Lu Ye kept a calm expression, left the place, and found an inn to stay.
...
As night fell, Lu Ye came out of an inn and returned to Demon Saint Plaza.
At this moment, he was staring at the name in the tenth position on the Stone Monument list.
Yu Youqiang.
However, he stayed on that name for less than a second before looking at the ninth name, Qin Batian.
Lu Ye remembered that someone mentioned during the day that this person with the surname Qin, ranked ninth, seemed to be from the Celestial Wolf Race.
"If that’s the case, then it’s you."
Lu Ye’s eyes narrowed slightly; the gap between the top three of the Demon Saint Stone Monument is significant, but the difference between the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm of the tenth and ninth positions isn’t much to him.
However, since the Celestial Wolf Race is pursuing him so relentlessly,
then knocking a person of their glory off the Demon Saint Stone Monument list is also a response.
Lu Ye immediately soared into the air, and in the next second, the characters for "Lu Yan" turned into a stream of light, instantly merging into the monument!
Suddenly, a familiar stream of light appeared from the base of the monument, rushing upward.
In an instant, it surpassed ten or so names.
And it continued to climb.
Sure enough, under Lu Ye’s precise control, moments later, the name Lu Yan stopped exactly at the original ninth position.
While the original ninth, Celestial Wolf Race’s Qin Batian, dropped to the tenth place.
Suddenly, an energy feedback enveloped Lu Ye, a feedback he found familiar.
"The energy feedback from the Martial Arts Grandmaster Realm Eighth Layer is indeed weaker, luckily though... with the hundredfold amplification, I can unleash its potential!"
About twenty minutes later...
After refining the energy feedback from the monument, Lu Ye’s realm finally officially entered the Middle Stage of Mortal Realm Grandmaster Seventh Layer.
"Not bad, the amplified feedback saved me at least half a month’s time."
Nodding with satisfaction, in the next moment, Lu Ye quietly left the place.
This journey to Demon Saint Province was complete.
The next time to climb the list would be a month later.
Therefore, Lu Ye had no intention of staying in Demon Saint City any longer and headed directly outside the city.
Once safely out of the city, Lu Ye discerned the direction and flew toward the Northern Territory.
Under the moonlight, Lu Ye crossed several Demon Race territories directly.
Right before dawn, he found a familiar resting spot and began to recover the Grandmaster’s Source Qi expended during travel.
This place seemed good to Lu Ye, and after recovering, he didn’t hurry to leave but instead cultivated there for three days before continuing his journey.
Three days later...
Passing through the territory of the Celestial Wolf Race again, here, more notices were posted than before.
Moreover, patrol squads frequently appeared on the surrounding roads to conduct meticulous inspections on the passing Human Race people.
Just then, an arrogant-looking Celestial Wolf Race woman, accompanied by several guards, appeared on the road.
This person was indeed the Celestial Wolf Princess, Qin Qingqing.
Since three days ago, after slightly healing her injuries with the clan’s precise ointment,
Qin Qingqing was filled with anger and personally inspected the territories of the Celestial Wolf Race every day.
Hoping to find that... hateful Human Race that should be cut to pieces!
At this moment, Qin Qingqing happened to patrol to this place with her guards.
"You, and you, stop for inspection!"
Qin Qingqing pointed at the Human Race people passing by, shouting loudly.
Upon hearing this, these Human Race people, daring not to be angry but afraid, obediently stopped and went near Qin Qingqing for inspection.
"Princess, we are all good people," those few Human Race people said, showing a friendly smile.
After all, the territory of the Celestial Wolf Race is so vast.
If they weren’t allowed through here, they’d have to take a much longer route in the future to come and go.
"Shut up, whether you have issues or not, my princess’s eyes will see it naturally." Qin Qingqing scolded.
Immediately, her eyes, like radiating some brilliance and extremely sharp, scanned over the Human Race cultivators gathering around, and their faces and bodies.
As her gaze swept over and reached Lu Ye, Qin Qingqing instinctively showed a bit of doubt.
"You, yes, you, what’s your name?" Qin Qingqing pointed at Lu Ye.
"Lu Yan." Lu Ye calmly replied.
When this name appeared, two or three among the seven or eight Human Race people passing by this point showed a hint of shock.
This name... seemed familiar from somewhere?
And Qin Qingqing also showed a bit of doubt.
"Hmm, why does this name sound like something I’ve heard not long ago... where are you from?"
"Usually cultivating outside South Mountain City." Lu Ye answered casually.
At this moment, a round-faced man seemed to recall something, and he looked at Lu Ye in shock.
"You... you are the newly ascended ninth on the Demon Saint Stone Monument list from two days ago?!"
"Yes, I remember now; three days ago, the Demon Saint Stone Monument had a change. I heard someone entered the top ten and pushed the Celestial Wolf Race prodigy in ninth place to the tenth..."
Hearing these discussions, Qin Qingqing also suddenly remembered.
Yes! It was this incident!
Three days ago, she heard her father talk about it.
For the last thousand years, her Celestial Wolf Race had four prodigies listed on the Stone Monument.
Moreover, two top prodigies occupied two positions in the top ten, one sixth and one ninth.
The sixth was a Celestial Wolf Race pride from centuries ago, while the ninth, Qin Batian, was a contemporary prodigy!
Yet three days ago, the ninth Celestial Wolf Race’s Qin Batian was pushed off by someone named Lu Yan.
Then, her father had specially mentioned this to her.
Qin Batian was to emerge soon and head to Demon Saint City to challenge the new ranking again.
"So it was you who pushed our clan’s prodigy aside."
The ninth on the Demon Saint Stone Monument list hadn’t reached the Mortal Realm Grandmaster level yet; he was still a Martial Arts Grandmaster, specifically Martial Arts Grandmaster Eighth Layer.
Qin Qingqing stared at Lu Ye, knowing he was the newly ranked ninth on the Demon Saint Stone Monument, yet she wasn’t afraid.
After all, her Uncle Yuan beside her was a genuine Tier Five powerhouse, comparable to a Human Race Mortal Realm Grandmaster.
Lu Ye calmly said, "Just lucky."
Seeing Lu Ye’s composed, expressionless face, the Celestial Wolf Princess inexplicably...
Suddenly wanted to punch him! 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
However, one can’t control the ranking when someone climbs the list and pushes their clan’s prodigy down; it might have been unintentional.
Bringing this matter up against the person would probably imply the Celestial Wolf Race is petty.
So, the Celestial Wolf Princess glared at Lu Ye and said quite harshly, "Pass, pass, you all don’t have issues, not that damned Human Race."
With that, Qin Qingqing turned and left, seemingly intending to lead her people to patrol elsewhere.
Suddenly, something flickered in Qin Qingqing’s mind...
