This designated extraction this time was somewhat unexpected for Lu Ye.

"It's actually the remaining two styles of the Four Divine Ancient Seals?"

He remembered being surprised when he drew the first two styles initially.

After all, even that incomplete version was already ranked among the Celestial Tier Martial Techniques. Lu Ye had been speculating about what level the complete Four Divine Ancient Seals would be.

Now the answer was here... It was Divine Techniques!

He immediately chose to fuse it, and suddenly, a vast amount of information flooded into Lu Ye's mind.

If it were an average person, they would inevitably feel dizzy at this moment, but after Lu Ye absorbed it, his expression remained unchanged.

...

A moment later, outside the city, in a nameless large mountain.

Lu Ye looked around, and after confirming that Youluo hadn't followed him, he took a deep breath.

Instantly, a Vermilion Bird phantom first appeared above his head!

Then, a Black Tortoise followed!

These two seals, having been acquired earlier, had already reached the Small Success Realm and appeared very fierce and solid.

However, when he attempted to manifest the newly acquired Cyan Dragon and White Tiger Seals, it required some effort to reluctantly condense the two Four Divine Shadows that seemed ready to dissipate at any moment.

The Four Divine Shadows each occupied a position, and the terrifying divine fluctuation spread through the mountains!

If this strike were executed, this mountain area would be effortlessly blasted apart!

"Surely it's a divine technique, but I wonder if it's a Lower Grade Divine Technique or if it can be classified as Middle Grade Divine Technique?"

After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye withdrew the Grandmaster's Source Qi, and the four divine beast shadows in the sky began to slowly dissipate.

Such a divine technique is undoubtedly not something a proper Grandmaster Realm can come into contact with.

Neither can the Grandmaster's Source Qi maximize its power.

Moreover, it consumes a tremendous amount.

The moment Lu Ye manifested the Four Divine Shadows, his Dantian Qi Sea had already dropped by more than thirty percent!

And maintaining the Four Divine Shadows was consuming a large amount of Source Qi every second.

"The consumption is quite terrifying. It's fortunate that it's used as a trump card killer move; frequent use would be unsustainable even at the Grandmaster Late Stage."

Shaking his head, Lu Ye quietly left the forest.

...

Time passed in a flash, and a few days went by.

When the news of the Cloud Leaf Sub-Pavilion's destruction within the Yellow Springs Pavilion spread, many thought that the Yellow Springs Pavilion would issue a high-level pursuit order...

But the Yellow Springs Pavilion uncharacteristically remained silent, not even issuing a single bronze-level pursuit order.

This behavior was different from the past.

Inside a teahouse.

"Do you think the Yellow Springs Pavilion… plans to let this go?"

"I doubt it. Knowing the Yellow Springs Pavilion's nature, they won't easily let it slide after suffering such a setback."

Even Youluo was a bit puzzled, in an alley, Youluo looked at Lu Ye opposite her, somewhat confused: "I destroyed the Cloud Leaf Sub-Pavilion, but is the Yellow Springs Pavilion really planning to just let it be?"

Recalling the past when the master faced threats from the Cloud Leaf Sub-Pavilion, Youluo wished she could use the Great Resurrection Skill on those individuals and annihilate them all over again!

But now with no movement from the Yellow Springs Pavilion's headquarters, Youluo was even more confused.

They were, after all, a top-tier assassin organization with a Grandmaster overseeing them; since when did they become so mild-mannered?

Yet with no further action from the Yellow Springs Pavilion, Youluo couldn't proceed.

After all, the original orders came from the Cloud Leaf Sub-Pavilion, which no longer exists.

If she continued against other branches of the Yellow Springs Pavilion, it might later draw accusations of bloodthirstiness from the master once recovered.

She didn't want to be reproached by the master.

"Are you afraid of Jiang Qingge?" Listening to Youluo's somewhat resentful words, Lu Ye found it quite amusing.

"It's not fear, it's respect! Youluo respects the master the most."

Looking at Lu Ye's face, which seemed to hold a subtle smile, Youluo reluctantly admitted: "Well... maybe there's a bit of fear; the master was quite strict before."

Seeing Youluo, who resembled a deflated balloon, Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "Let's observe the situation first. If the Yellow Springs Pavilion issues a pursuit order later, once you and I both become Grandmasters... even one Grandmaster from the Yellow Springs Pavilion would be nothing to fear then."

"Alright, what you said makes sense, I'll listen to you." Youluo's gaze fell on Lu Ye, somewhat curious: "It seems like your title as a Hermit Grandmaster is quite useful."

Youluo understood that the likely reason for the Yellow Springs Pavilion's silence was due to Lu Ye's reputation!

Achieving such a swift destruction of the Cloud Leaf Sub-Pavilion was something only a Hermit Grandmaster from Cloud Leaf City could accomplish. The Yellow Springs Pavilion's silence probably signified their reluctance to easily provoke a Hermit Grandmaster.

Lu Ye chuckled, "Why don't you go shout outside, claiming the destruction of the Cloud Leaf Sub-Pavilion was done by you, Youluo Sect Leader."

"No, no, I fear the master will scold me then; she surely wouldn't scold you." Youluo murmured softly, "With a husband now, Youluo's just a wildflower no one cares for by the roadside."

Suddenly, Youluo exclaimed, "Huh, after only half a day, how come you seem different again... Facing you now, I feel like I'm facing an Ancient Fierce Beast!"

Ancient Fierce Beast?

Lu Ye chuckled subtly to himself, probably due to having recently fully fused with the Four Divine Ancient Seals.

Well, this isn't an Ancient Fierce Beast... but a Divine Beast!

"You've become even stronger, Master Husband... You're truly a prodigy!" Youluo felt a tingling sensation all over, realizing that such a pace of improvement was something even the top talents of the Nine Nether Race couldn't achieve.

...

Soon, it was dusk.

Lu Ye returned to the Jiang Family and, before entering Jiang Qingge's small courtyard, he passed by Jiang Lingyue's yard.

Seeing the small courtyard that no longer showed any activity, he recalled the scene where this young girl would occasionally pop her head out to peep, and smiled to himself.

As if in response to something, a moment later, Lu Ye's Communication Jade Token began to show activity.

Jiang Lingyue: [Brother-in-law, brother-in-law... I'm preparing to camp and rest, I should arrive at Wuxiang Mountain by the day after tomorrow!]

He opened it to find the message was indeed from Jiang Lingyue.

Lu Ye smiled slightly and replied.

[Cultivate well.]

Jiang Lingyue: [I definitely will work hard at cultivation, hehe... I miss you a lot!]

After a short chat with Jiang Lingyue, Lu Ye stepped into Jiang Qingge's small courtyard.

Upon entering, he found Jiang Qingge practicing a sword technique; it seemed she too had a fondness for swords.

However, to Lu Ye's slight surprise... Jiang Qingge was once again practicing the Fine Rain Sword Technique.

One might say this sword technique indeed was the top choice for female cultivators.

At this moment, Jiang Qingge was already very close to reaching the Fourth Layer of Condensing Origin, just a step away from a breakthrough.

Looking back at Lu Ye stepping into the courtyard, Jiang Qingge's eyes immediately brightened.

"You're back? I heard your Fine Rain Sword Technique proficiency is quite high, can you teach me?"

"Sure." Lu Ye nodded.

The next moment, Lu Ye casually snapped off a branch from a courtyard tree, and as he raised his hand, a faint Sword Intent began to overflow!

On the rooftop, in her usual spot, Youluo watched Lu Ye below about to begin, with her mouth slightly turned.

"Using a branch as a sword?"

"But... how can his Sword Dao be so intimidating?!"
