This mysterious feeling, even the Jiang Family Ancestor that Jiang Qingge had seen, seemed not to possess it.

"Could it be that Lu Ye is even stronger than the ancestor?"

This absurd guess surfaced in her mind, and in the next moment, Jiang Qingge immediately dismissed it.

Her ancestor was, after all, a renowned expert of the Innate Realm!

Based on the strength Lu Ye displayed during the previous assassination attempt, he was at the Condensing Origin Seventh Layer.

Some time has passed now, so he should be around the Condensing Origin Eighth Layer or at most, the Ninth Layer.

And there's an unknown distance between that and the Innate Realm.

For some reason, although Lu Ye was somewhat disdainful of her now, Jiang Qingge felt quite at ease with Lu Ye.

Thinking and thinking, Jiang Qingge hazily fell asleep.

Lu Ye practiced on the chair till the latter half of the night, the Innate True Qi he'd just transformed within his body significantly more abundant.

"No wonder they say once you achieve the Innate, you can view all below Innate as mere ants."

The difference between Innate True Qi and the ordinary Inner Qi below Innate was indeed vast!

Comparing with the Innate True Qi in his dantian right now.

Probably the solidity of one degree of Innate True Qi is equivalent to more than seventy percent of Inner Qi at the Postnatal Ninth Layer!

Just then, a slight sound suddenly came from outside.

Frowning slightly, Lu Ye glanced at the sleeping Jiang Qingge, swiftly changed into his night traveling clothes, and slipped out quietly.

The Jiang Family courtyard.

A person in black silently slipped into the courtyard, like a giant roc, treading on air as he moved over the rooftops.

Beneath the face scarf, the old eyes of the person in black showed a trace of confusion.

"Could it be that Old Man Jiang really met with some accident?"

Even though he had concealed his aura, this wouldn't go unnoticed by those in the Innate Realm.

Yet as he infiltrated, there was no response at all from the Jiang Family...

A glint of shrewdness flashed in the clouded old eyes of the person in black.

If this is really the case... then the strategy against the Jiang Family might need to be revised.

Having been suppressed by the Jiang Family for so many years, it was time for a turnaround!

Just as this thought settled in his mind, suddenly, another figure appeared silently in front of him!

Seeing the mysterious night traveler suddenly emerge, the heart of the person in black leapt.

Before the figure appeared, he hadn't sensed anything at all!

This phenomenon startled the person in black, for it meant that the other's concealment technique surpassed his!

"Who are you?"

The person in black altered his voice, asking sternly.

He had known the Jiang Family Ancestor for many years and was very familiar with their aura.

This person before him, though also Innate, was definitely not Jiang Wuyou.

Beneath the night traveler's face scarf, Lu Ye calmly said, "Leave the Jiang Family."

The person in black snorted coldly and his hands suddenly turned into claws, directly slashing towards Lu Ye's chest!

Frowning, Lu Ye extended a finger.

Having advanced to Innate, the Mountain Splitting Finger had already transformed greatly.

The Mountain Splitting Finger now formed of Innate True Qi even carried faint sonic booms!

Hiss!

"Ah?!"

In the next moment, the person in black cried out miserably, swiftly retracting his hand, a bloody and mangled finger-hole appeared on it!

With one strike, the Innate True Qi shield of the person in black had been directly pierced!

Startled, the person in black could no longer remain at the Jiang Family and immediately intended to leave.

Lu Ye coldly said, "And you think you can just leave now? Too late."

Utilizing the Falling Leaves Body Technique, he promptly pursued.

Only now did the commotion caused by their clash finally draw the alert of Jiang Lianshan, the highest-ranked in the Jiang Family courtyard currently.

Jiang Lianshan suddenly awoke, dashed out of the room, arriving at the place where the two Innates had previously stayed, exclaiming in shock.

"An Innate Realm has infiltrated my Jiang Family?!"

This situation left Jiang Lianshan deeply worried.

If such infiltrations continued to happen frequently, and the Jiang Family Ancestor still failed to respond.

Eventually, they would surely have their vulnerabilities exposed.

Sure enough, keeping it under wraps would ultimately fail.

What puzzled Jiang Lianshan was how did the commotion of the clash get out?

For Martial Dao experts capable of contending with the Innate Realm, the Jiang Family simply had none to offer now.

On the other side.

The person in black was both shocked and furious.

He didn't expect that even after leaving the Jiang Family, the mysterious night traveler was still relentlessly pursuing!

This is... intolerable!

Given his status and position, when had he ever suffered such a loss as being chased like this?

Rushing out of Cloud Leaf City, reaching a dense forest, seeing that the mysterious night traveler was still pursuing, the person in black suddenly halted and turned, saying in a deep voice.

"We should show mercy when possible, my friend, we are both Innate, there's no need to fight to the bitter end over a small matter."

Lu Ye, with a calm expression, recalled how he previously asked the person to leave, yet, an attack followed without provocation; only discovering difficulties later did the person now know to show mercy?

Taking out the Middle Grade Mortal Artifact Spirit Tide Sword from his storage ring, Lu Ye swept with his sword lights, directly enveloping the person in black.

"The Fine Rain Sword Technique at the Realm of Perfection?!"

The person in black exclaimed in shock, recalling previous intelligence, that a mysterious expert capable of injuring someone at the Innate Fourth Layer emerged when a Jiang Family Escort Agency escort was attacked... also possessing a Fine Rain Sword Technique at Perfection!

Reflecting on the terrifying Finger Technique opposite, and the unfathomable realm.

In that instant, the person in black had not a glimmer of thought of fighting.

The opposite could strike even an Innate Fourth Layer; how could he, a mere Innate Second Layer, face that?!

Intent on fleeing, without fully exhibiting his combat power, passively defending, he was utterly suppressed by Lu Ye.

"The Fine Rain Sword Technique's grade is still a bit low; crossing an Innate Realm level in battle is somewhat strenuous." Lu Ye pondered while suppressing the person in black, thinking apart from Heaven-Defying Three Swords, he needed to find another sword technique to learn.

Though good enough to suppress and injure the person in black, the Fine Rain Sword Technique couldn't swiftly conclude the battle.

Contemplating for a moment, Lu Ye decided not to waste more time; his eyes focused, and the sword momentum instantly changed.

Heaven-Defying Three Swords! First stance... Heaven-Defying!!

The person in black, already teetering on the brink, now felt his heart and guts shatter.

A staggering sense of mortal peril descended instantly.

Pouring all his effort into conjuring an Innate True Qi shield, the person in black shouted desperately.

"Please spare me! I... am willing to surrender!"

But the speed of the Heaven-Defying Sword Momentum was too swift, the sword light instantly reached the person in black.

The thick Innate Protective Shield, enough to drive a Postnatal Ninth Layer to despair, crumbled like fragile paper before the Heaven-Defying Sword Momentum!

Even though Lu Ye withdrew, the residual force of the sword momentum still hit the person in black, making him spew a large mouthful of blood, severely injured!

Gazing at the mysterious night traveler calmly sheathing the long sword, the old eyes of the person in black were filled with unhidden terror.

If the opposite hadn't restrained...

The person in black understood.

He would already be fallen beneath that sword momentum!
