The suddenly appearing voice caused the two fox demons to shiver, completely startled!

"You... are you also at the Innate Realm?!"

Looking at the figure before them, the two fox demons appeared somewhat puzzled.

They were both at the Innate Realm Second Layer, and ordinary people should be unable to escape their tracking.

"Why are you following me?" Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, speaking.

Sensing the faint murderous aura on Lu Ye, the two fox demons dared not conceal anything and quickly revealed what they had discovered.

"We mean no harm... We just suddenly sensed Liu Mei'Er's presence on you and became curious, so we followed."

Now, the two fox demons were trembling with fear, not expecting the outside to be so dangerous, facing a life-threatening crisis the moment they ventured out.

Liu Mei'Er... Liu Ruyan?

Lu Ye frowned slightly, unexpected; it was months ago, yet the fox demon's nose was still usable?

"The Liu Mei'Er you speak of, I did indeed meet, but it was already months ago." Lu Ye's eyes turned cold: "As for you two, I'm sorry."

Upon hearing this, the two fox demons nearly fainted from fright; one even revealed its true fox demon form, turning back into a dark-colored fox, trembling.

The terrifying killing intent descended upon the two fox demons in an instant.

As Lu Ye was about to act, the fox demon with a slightly braver heart, still not reverted to its true form, trembled and said, "Master, please... don't kill us, I... I have a Treasure Map!"

Suddenly, like a tsunami, the pressure dissipated significantly.

Lu Ye furrowed his brow slightly: "Bring it out for me to see."

His Source Crystal had been exhausted, and he had not a fragment of Cultivation Elixir at the Grandmaster Realm.

Somewhat interested in the so-called treasure.

The fox demon dared not delay, quickly pulling out an ancient sheepskin scroll.

"Master... we truly mean no harm, we'll never dare follow again."

Upon receiving the parchment map, Lu Ye's gaze shifted slightly; the map seemed quite ancient, not a newly forged fake.

Moreover, the map's marked destination was indeed in the Eastern Territory.

"Where did you get this map?"

The fox demon whispered: "We unintentionally obtained it earlier. After getting the map, we studied it for a while and planned to go to the Eastern Territory during this region's grand event."

Moments later, watching the two fox demons flee rapidly, relieved.

"Sister, where are we going now?" asked the fox demon, transformed back into its fox form and held in the other's embrace.

Hearing this, the slightly older fox demon replied with lingering fear, "Today's event... let's not tell anyone! Keep it a secret! The outside is truly too dangerous; now I understand why the clan leader never lets us come out easily... Let's go back! We won't ever come out again!"

After Liu Mei'Er ventured out and experienced the outside world, she not only fell in love with a human but eventually even stole clan treasures because of it.

And the two of them, upon venturing out, hadn't even reached the East Territory yet were already tracking and offending a powerful Innate Realm master, nearly losing their lives!

Luckily, revealing the Treasure Map saved them; the outside world... is too dangerous!

Watching the two fox demons swiftly flee, Lu Ye withdrew his gaze, placing the parchment into the Storage Ring.

With thoughtful eyes, after a moment, Lu Ye took out the Human Skin Mask, originally intending to wear it upon reaching East Cang City, deciding now was an opportune moment.

Returning to the town once more, Lu Ye had changed his appearance, his clothing swapped from the Storage Ring.

Then, he purchased a general map of the Eastern Territory in the small town.

...

When Chen Lingxiang, after resting, knocked on Lu Ye's door intending to invite him out, he was almost shocked to see a strange man appear.

"It's me."

Upon hearing the familiar voice, Chen Lingxiang understood, realizing it was a disguise.

Thinking it over, Chen Lingxiang grasped the idea that going to the Eastern Territory, revealing one's true identity in black clothing, would easily reveal one's origins; now, merely donning a Human Skin Mask was more effective.

Whatever tasks needed doing could be handled smoothly.

Right then, Chen Lingxiang also considered disguising himself, given the Upper Grade Innate Pill was quite valuable.

Once traded successfully, who knows if anyone would covet it.

Shortly after, Chen Lingxiang, at a small town's Shang Pavilion, spent a hefty price on a fairly superior Disguise Mask.

When the two left the Northern Territory border town, entering the Eastern Territory, they already adopted new appearances.

Due to many having seen Chen Lingxiang's Flying Spirit Beast in the Northern Territory, the two opted to travel on foot to East Cang City.

Along the way, the Innate Realm presence increased significantly, unparalleled compared to the Northern Territory.

Lu Ye understood this was not entirely the Eastern Territory's foundation; indeed, many had come from the other three territories.

Finally, after two days, the pair reached outside East Cang City.

East Cang City was significantly larger than Cloud Leaf City, its streets wide enough to accommodate eight large Spirit Beasts walking side by side, with lined shops and towering buildings.

At this moment, the grand event was six or seven days away, and though the city's population had significantly increased, some inns still had available guest rooms.

Once again booking two rooms, Lu Ye unexpectedly received a message from Youluo.

After listening to the message, Lu Ye's gaze shifted; at this time, if nothing was pressing, Youluo wouldn't contact him lightly.

"Rest a bit; I'm going out for some matter, will return later."

Briefly informing Chen Lingxiang, Lu Ye left the inn.

Immediately afterward, he exited East Cang City.

Several miles outside the city lay a small Purple Bamboo Forest, the location Youluo had mentioned.

Upon entering the Purple Bamboo Forest, a cool-looking young woman already stood inside, initially perplexed upon seeing an unfamiliar face.

"Who are you?"

Lu Ye replied calmly, "You called me here, asking who I am?"

"My Lord's husband, you're disguised?" Recognizing his voice, Youluo excitedly approached to take a closer look at Lu Ye.

"Your disguise is quite meticulous, hard to discern at first glance."

"What if one looks closely?"

"Can't discern anything either; this Human Skin Mask is quite something," Youluo shook her head.

Recalling the beautiful woman in blue dress beside Lu Ye earlier, Youluo wanted to ask for her master but didn't know how.

Instead, Lu Ye queried first, "You called me urgently, what's the matter?"

"Oh, right, I summoned you because we've discovered a new location, the Luoyang Mountain Range, possibly where a seal with the Celestial Demon Divine Sect's members is hidden!"

Looking at the grave-faced Youluo, Lu Ye was taken aback.

The parchment Treasure Map he had just received also pointed to the Luoyang Mountain Range.
