Green Mountain City, at the West Gate.
Lu Ming rode his horse to the West Gate with his low-grade black-rank spiritual tools.
Now that he had purchased the talismans and spiritual tools, he felt more secure in his heart.
After he left the city, Lu Ming immediately rode his horse to the side of the Center Sect.
Though he believed that Sikong Xuan wouldn't dare send someone to follow him under his threat, he was still cautious.
However, he decided to make a small detour first.
At the same time, at the West Gate, Ya Yin walked out of the city gate and locked onto Lu Ming's energy from a distance.
Seeing that Lu Ming was still riding his horse after leaving Green Mountain City, a smile appeared on his face.
"He didn't hide his cultivation."
Ya Yin followed the fourth storey noble that Yelulan mentioned out of Green Mountain City. Along the way, he also rode his horse and chased after him.
The cultivation state he sensed from the other party was indeed only in the early stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, out of caution, he didn't choose to act directly.
Firstly, he was afraid that the people of the star-picking pavilion would protect him in secret.
Secondly, he did not know if the other party was hiding his strength.
After all, this could be the person who provided the pills to the star-picking pavilion.
However, at this moment, Ya Yin saw that the other party did not choose to ride his weapon. Instead, he continued to ride his horse.
It was very obvious that the other party's cultivation was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Then, he would be able to capture this person alive!
As for the spiritual weapon and talisman that Yelulan mentioned, the other party had bought them.
They were completely useless to him.
He had lived in Green Mountain City for so many years and he had a total of fifteen talismans!
And he even had a yellow-rank top-grade red blade sword!
What kind of damage could the other party cause?
If the other party was an alchemist who could refine pills with a completion rate of 100%, then he would also be able to raise his aptitude and obtain a large sum of spirit stones!
He could squeeze out all the benefits from this guy and then hand them over to his clan.
Perhaps he could also exchange it for an improvement in his bloodline.
Thinking of this, a greedy smile appeared on Ya Yin's face.
At this moment, his smile appeared particularly ferocious under the contrast of his scholarly attire.
He patted the Heaven and Earth pouch on his waist.
A red longsword flew out.
He lightly stepped on his sword and rode towards the direction where Lu Ming was.
Lu Ming was riding his horse in the wilderness.
The sky had turned completely dark.
However, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. With the support of spiritual energy, he wouldn't be affected by the night.
At this moment, the disguise powder on his face had only one hour left.
He didn't want to take a roundabout route, so he turned the horse around and headed toward the Center Sect.
All of a sudden, he heard a piercing sound by his ear!
Lu Ming turned his head around quickly and saw a scholar riding his sword toward him.
The distance between them was decreasing quickly.
It can't be.
I've kept such a low profile all this time. How can I encounter danger now?
It can't be a heretic?
Seeing the red eyes of the other party, Lu Ming was startled.
Was it true that the main character would meet the villain when he left the sect?
Lu Ming was about to raise his whip and increase his speed when the red sword arrived!
As Ya Yin's cultivation base erupted, he retracted his sword into his palm and stood in front of Lu Ming!
His cultivation base, which was the Foundation Establishment Stage, was revealed in an instant!
The cultivation base that he unleashed shocked the horse so much that it stopped moving and started to tremble slightly.
Lu Ming, who was on the horse, felt this pressure and frowned slightly.
But in his heart, he didn't panic too much.
Although the other party was strong, his cultivation was still within the Foundation Establishment Stage after all.
He had just come out of the star-picking pavilion at this time and was equipped with several spiritual tools and talismans in his storage ring. He even had a low-grade black-rank defensive spiritual tool in his hand that looked like an oil paper umbrella.
At the same time, Ya Yin did not make a move immediately. The blood-colored spirit sword in his palm faintly emitted a red glow.
"You're the person who traded pills to the star-picking pavilion?"
Hearing this, Lu Ming revealed a puzzled expression. "What dignitary? I didn't buy anything from the star-picking pavilion today."
He had also inspected everyone in the star-picking pavilion today but he did not find anyone dressed like Ya Yin.
So he decided to act dumb.
Of course, he couldn't be so dumb as to think that the other party wouldn't attack him because of this.
It was only a while ago that Lu Ming finally reacted to what was going on.
All this while, he had been muddling in the Outer Sect and only just became an Inner Disciple of the Center Sect. He had not even started to learn any sword techniques yet.
Though he had the cultivation state of the Foundation Establishment, his only offensive method was introductory fist techniques!
