The battle atop the spirit mountaintop ended quickly. Without the magic cultivator wielding it, the power of the spells greatly diminished. The spell collided with Lu Ye's Defense Spirit Runes, causing the runes to shatter and Lu Ye's figure to be sent flying. Though the situation was dire, he was unharmed.
When Lu Ye reached the spirit mountaintop, he immediately saw Second Senior Sister Shui Yuan.
Nearby stood a cultivator with blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his face pale as he clutched his chest.
From his attire, it was clear he was a magic cultivator. The spell that had just attacked Lu Ye was unleashed by this person.
At this moment, the magic cultivator was explaining to Shui Yuan with a troubled look, "Sister Shui Yuan, it was a misunderstanding. I received secret orders that Ten Thousand Demons Ridge thieves would pass through here, and I was to capture them. Who could have guessed it was all a mistake!"
"Whose secret orders?" Shui Yuan asked coldly.
