Humanity's Great Sage

Of course she couldnt find it. The True Phoenix Flame had been devoured by the Tree of Glyphs and transformed into Glyph: Fire Phoenix.

He had to admire her for her persistence though. He did not think she would still be looking for that fire after so long.

The female Primal shook her head. Impossible. Help me. She then made a grab for Lu Ye regardless of his free will.

Lu Ye wasnt willing to go with her, of course. Forget that the True Phoenix Flame was long gone, he did not feel like acquainting himself with this Tyrant for any longer than was necessary. It was just too dangerous for his personal wellbeing.

So, he dodged the grab and suggested, Why dont you try a little longer?

I couldnt find it. She shook her head stubbornly. Find it for me.

She then made a grab for Lu Ye again.

Lu Ye frowned and unsheathed the Inviolable. The female Primal withdrew her hand right before the saber would cut her. Her scarlet pupils contracted slightly as her expression turned unfriendly.

Dont get handsy. And listen to people when theyre talking to you, Lu Ye warned while holding the saber in front of himself.

I want that flame! The female Primal replied impatiently. At the same time, her nails elongated into sharp claws while fiery red energy began rolling off her body.

Meanwhile, the nearby ghost cultivators were stunned by this outcome. They thought that Lu Yi Ye was acquainted with the female Tyrant, and they were right. However, it seemed like this relationship was a hostile one. 𝔣𝖗𝔢𝔢𝔴𝖊𝖇𝖓𝔬𝔳𝖊𝔩.𝔠𝔬𝖒

[This is great for us!]

Lu Ye brushed his thumb against the hilt while lowering his gaze. Nobody likes being pestered. If you keep this up, Ill have to request my brothers and sisters to gang up on you. You dont want that, do you?

The female Primal immediately swept her gaze across the areas. The ghost cultivators skulking in the shadows blanched like someone had stripped them naked. They knew then that Lu Yi Ye and discovered them a long time ago.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh

The ghost cultivators hurriedly revealed themselves and brought out their flying Spirit Artifacts. They immediately escaped in every direction.

The female Primal turned to look back at Lu Ye, but Lu Ye was already swinging his saber at her.

After interacting with the female Primal twice, Lu Ye knew that she was as formidable as she was dumb as a rock. Once she had locked her mind onto a certain course of action, she wouldnt change her mind for a long time.

She had been searching for him all this time so he could look for the True Phoenix Flame for her. He didnt expect her to give up now just because he said no. That was why the only way to force her into abandoning this course of action was to fight her.

When Lu Ye first encountered her at the Burning Lands, he was only a Heaven Seven cultivator. At the time, he was weak enough that she had nearly killed him after a brief clash.

He was no longer who he was then, however. Not only was he Heaven Nine, he had been baptized by the Heavens reward three times. With his strength, he had single handedly brought the Thousand Demon Ridge to their knees.

He did not know if he could defeat the female Primal, but he knew that a negotiation was only possible between equals. This was doubly true for Spirit Beasts.

The female Primal dodged his first attack effortlessly like she was weightless. However, he had many, many more to throw at her. He attacked her like a furious storm.

Meanwhile, the news that Lu Yi Ye was fighting against the female Tyrant had spread across the Spirit Creek Battlefield like wildfire. It wasnt long before everyone in Jiu Zhou had heard about it as well.

The higher-ups of the Thousand Demon Ridge were beyond delighted to hear this. Some of them nearly broke out cackling like a villain.

Karma was a bitch, and it looked like she had finally caught up to Lu Yi Ye. Although they didnt know why Lu Yi Ye was fighting that female Tyrant, there was no way he could be a match for her!

The sentiment was shared by every other Thousand Demon Ridge cultivator as well. They could not wait to hear the news that he had died horrifically under the female Tyrants claws and celebrate his demise.

The ghost cultivators who were at the scene confirmed that the female Tyrant had been targeting Lu Yi Ye from the start. They knew this because the female Tyrant had said, I found you, when she appeared at Skysword Peak. She also discussed something about a flame with him
