Chapter 671: Chapter 237: Immortal Martial

...

"Are you from the Martial Alliance?"

Lei Yunshu suddenly asked.

Just after killing the other demons and walking towards Lei Yunshu, Lin Zheyu showed a slight sense of surprise.

He wasn’t too taken aback.

His combat style hardly differed from that of a Martial Artist, so it was normal for Lei Yunshu to make that association.

Lin Zheyu, without concealing his skills, intended to give the impression for others to think of him in that way.

Originally, he thought Lei Yunshu would merely guess he was born a Martial Artist and transitioned to Immortal Dao after advancing to the Martial Arts Innate level.

Unexpectedly, Lei Yunshu thought he was from the Martial Alliance.

That was quite interesting.

Lin Zheyu smiled slightly, not answering her question.

Even though he didn’t answer, judging from Lin Zheyu’s fighting style, Lei Yunshu had already drawn her own conclusion.

Even if he wasn’t part of the Martial Alliance, there was a high possibility he was a strong expert transitioning from an Innate Realm Martial Artist.

Lin Zheyu walked slowly towards Lei Yunshu and asked, "Miss Lei, how long before you can fully recover? The situation seems a bit dire."

The endless appearance of demons was a secondary concern.

During the demon slaying, two unknown presences were detected in his sensory field.

Although they hid well, Lin Zheyu’s enhanced sensing abilities, through subtle energy fluctuations and environmental clues, detected something amiss.

"If you have matters to attend to, Mr. Xiao, you may leave first,"

Lei Yunshu said softly after a few seconds of silence, instead of directly answering.

"How can I leave a lady behind, especially when she’s gravely injured? That wouldn’t be the act of a gentleman."

"If Miss Lei doesn’t mind, I can escort you out of here,"

"This place has become dangerous, it seems someone else has set their sights on us."

Lin Zheyu said.

Hearing this, Lei Yunshu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

She hadn’t sensed any other presence besides the two of them.

"Has someone noticed this place?"

"Is he bluffing, or is Xiao Yu’s sensing ability far superior to mine?"

Lei Yunshu thought to herself.

Without showing any expression on her face, she pondered for a moment and slowly said, "I can’t leave for now. I’ll have to trouble you, Mr. Xiao."

Her injury was only one reason.

Another reason was that Lei Yunshu needed to protect the Array Hub here.

Even though a small portion of the Array Hub was damaged and wouldn’t affect the large formation’s operation, it concerned Lei Yunshu’s task evaluation as well as the resource allocation for the coming year.

Lei Yunshu didn’t want to give up this easily.

"I don’t know what his intentions are, but it wouldn’t hurt to use his help to protect the Array Hub here."

"If he means no harm, I’ll give him some reward then."

Lei Yunshu thought to herself.

She exerted all her sensing abilities to detect any disturbances around, but still found nothing.

The Yin Sha forces here were too strong, having significant impacts on her Spiritual Sense.

"Miss Lei, you’re too polite. It was fate that brought us together; it’s just a small effort,"

Lin Zheyu said with a light smile.

Though appearing relaxed on his face, he had already pushed his sensory field to the limit in secret, keeping track of those two figures’ movements.

’These cultivators seemingly can’t detect my sensory field?’

Lin Zheyu guessed.

From the beginning, Lin Zheyu was observing Lei Yunshu’s expressions and actions.

Neither the two in hiding nor Lei Yunshu showed any anomaly when he fully activated his sensory field.

Lin Zheyu guessed it was highly likely they couldn’t detect his sensory field.

"Has Miss Lei’s injury recovered almost completely?"

"Is the unwillingness to leave due to other reasons?"

Lin Zheyu asked casually.

When they first met, Lei Yunshu’s injury was indeed severe.

However, as time passed, Lei Yunshu’s aura rapidly strengthened.

Lin Zheyu felt that even if she hadn’t recovered to her peak, she should be able to protect herself without problem.

"To be honest, I am currently on a mission, which involves closing this space-time node; I can’t leave for now,"

Lei Yunshu thought for a moment and said.

"I see,"

"My family and friends are all in Great Wei, my roots too. Helping Miss Lei is helping myself,"

Lin Zheyu said with a smile.

Right after speaking, a flash of insight occurred in his eyes, and he vanished from his spot instantly.

Even Lei Yunshu by his side was startled by him.

Soon after, from a distance in the darkness, there was a sudden loud bang, causing Lei Yunshu’s eyes to narrow immediately.

Seeing the abrupt appearance of that aura, her heart sank slightly.

If not for Xiao Yu this time, she might have faced dire consequences.

Ah!

A red longsword sliced through like lightning, and in an instant, two shrieks were heard.

The battle lasted less than ten breaths before coming to an abrupt halt, leaving Lei Yunshu slightly stunned.

"Oh, they were just two small fry."

Lin Zheyu reappeared in Lei Yunshu’s line of sight.

Seeing Lin Zheyu’s easygoing demeanor, Lei Yunshu fell into silence.

"Thank you once again for your help, Mr. Xiao."

Lei Yunshu said, this time with a much more softened tone.

Lin Zheyu smiled and leisurely sat down beside her.

In his hand, he played with two freshly acquired storage bags, similar to the two he had obtained before, which probably held only about one cubic meter of space each.

Time passed slowly...

In the blink of an eye, over a day had passed.

The commotion in the Demon God Barrier was growing louder and louder.

The terrifying pressure emanating from afar made even Lin Zheyu feel a tremendous threat.

"During this time, many thanks to Mr. Xiao for your assistance."

Lei Yunshu let out a long breath, stood up, and respectfully bowed to Lin Zheyu.
