　　Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

　　“What place do you think this is? A place where you can say ‘no?’” That man clearly didn’t take Chu Liuyue’s words to heart as he smiled sinisterly, and his eyes were filled with unconcealable contempt and teasing.

　　“You’re someone from outside, and it’s your first time here in Grotto-Heaven Cliff. There are some rules you might not know, so let me, Lu Yi, teach you about them! Everyone who comes here needs to show their sincerity. If not… Grotto-Heaven Cliff is very dangerous, and you might not even be able to make it out…” He spoke as he coldly snorted, and his gaze darted around Dugu Mobao. “Such a cute child. If something happens to him, it’ll be a true pity! Don’t you think so?”

　　Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes. “Are you threatening me?”

　　“How can you say that I’m threatening you?! I’m just speaking the truth!” said Lu Yi as he broke out into an oppressive smile. “I don’t want to waste my time either. You better hand me that Cosmic Ring obediently!”

　　Once he said this, his aura immediately exploded!

　　Chu Liuyue’s eyes shrunk. He’s a demigod! No matter what, I can’t beat someone of this level!

　　Upon deeper thought, that was true. All the outsiders who could enter the God Residence Realm were strong warriors that had stepped into the Apotheosis Realm. Here, the weakest person was at least a demigod.

　　If Lu Yi wasn’t capable enough, he wouldn’t dare to do this.

　　“Brother, we can talk about it. Let’s talk about it.” Chu Liuyue rapidly retracted her sharp expression as she smiled harmoniously.

　　Lu Yi coldly smiled, “At least you’re sensible! Hand it over!”

　　Chu Liuyue pretended to touch her Cosmic Ring as if she was really planning on taking it off. At the same time, she looked like she was in a tough spot. “Actually… This ring is very important to me, so…”

　　“Why are you hesitating?! If you don’t take it off, I’ll come to take it myself!” said Lu Yi as he walked over to Chu Liuyue with big strides!

　　“So… don’t even think about it!” A cold gleam flashed across Chu Liuyue’s eyes. At the same time, the peach blossom on her inner wrist suddenly bloomed.

　　Lu Yi knew that something was amiss. He immediately summoned his longsword and slashed forward! “How dare…”

　　Shua!

　　The duo’s figures disappeared on the spot.

　　Tsing!

　　The longsword landed on the ground heavily and made a crisp sound.

　　Lu Yi rapidly scanned his surroundings and found that there was nobody.

　　There wasn’t even a ripple in the air.

　　“Cunning!” Lu Yi’s blood boiled. I was careless for a moment, and the other party actually escaped!

　　But at the same time, he felt doubtful. Only people that have completely stepped into the Apotheosis Realm can instantly teleport themselves. A demigod like me can only watch on in that case, but it didn’t seem like that woman used her own force to teleport… Did she use some Yuan instrument?

　　When he thought of this, his heart tingled. Yuan instruments that can instantly teleport are very rare. In the entire Grotto-Heaven Cliff, not even three people have such a treasure! If I can snatch it over… However, it seems like that woman does have quite a few treasures…

　　Lu Yi thought for a moment, and hesitation flashed across his heart. If she can have so many good things, that woman must be extraordinary…

　　But once this thought surfaced, Lu Yi dispelled it. She is just someone from outside the borders. How good can her background be?! It’s most likely because she was lucky and got those things through some method! That woman knows how to teleport. With my strength alone, it might be quite difficult to catch her quickly. However, I have quite a few spies in Grotto-Heaven Cliff. As long as I command them, I can definitely find her!

　　His eyes looked sinister as he rapidly left.

　　…

　　“Those people at the city gate were discussing this behind my back, right?” After escaping a certain distance, Chu Liuyue found a discreet corner and heaved a sigh of relief when she confirmed that they had already escaped that person.

　　Dugu Mobao glanced at the hand that she unintentionally held. He originally wanted to remove his hand directly, but when he recalled that she grabbed him without hesitation when she escaped, he was rather hesitant.

　　After hesitating for quite a while, he finally decided to turn away and pretend not to see it.

　　“Big Baby, what do you think? Big Baby?” Chu Liuyue called twice and finally pulled Dugu Mobao’s attention back.

　　“Mm? Mm.” Dugu Mobao replied nonchalantly, and his expression seemed frustrated, but his explanation didn’t stop. “The people in the God Residence Realm have a natural enmity toward the people from outside and despise them. Usually, they will think of ways to bully them. Besides, such a place is very messy. In their eyes, you’re just a meek sheep that’s waiting to be killed.”

　　However, those people definitely wouldn’t have guessed that Chu Liuyue was actually a metal board!

　　“I see.” Chu Liuyue nodded. She then realized that she was still holding onto Dugu Mobao’s hand, so she hurriedly let go of it and chuckled. “It was a special situation just now. Big Baby, you don’t mind, right?”

　　After Dugu Mobao’s hand was suddenly flung away, he instantly felt empty as if he were missing something. Hearing Chu Liuyue’s question, he knitted his brows and faintly acknowledged it.

　　Chu Liuyue didn’t notice his micro-changes in expression as she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall, deep in thought. “Then, we’re in much trouble now…”

　　If the other party dared to touch me in broad daylight, he must have a certain background here. What if he is bent on dealing with me… I have no confidence that I can beat him.

　　“That Lu Yi has good taste. He just took one glance and confirmed that there are treasures inside…” Chu Liuyue gradually turned the Cosmic Ring on her hand. When Rong Xiu sent Yan Qing to deliver this item over, I could also tell that this Cosmic Ring was of high quality with one glance. However, I didn’t expect it to bring me such troubles today.

　　“Pfft.” Dugu Mobao couldn’t help but snort with unconcealable displeasure and contempt. “If he really had good observation skills, he wouldn’t—”

　　He wouldn’t have snatched this Cosmic Ring! It’s a pity that he is dumb and that he doesn’t even know what kind of person he has offended!

　　“Wouldn’t what?” asked Chu Liuyue curiously.

　　“It’s nothing much.” Dugu Mobao glanced at the sky. “Let’s first check out the second-grade transportation formations.”

　　…

　　Within the city of Grotto-Heaven Cliff, there were two second-grade transportation formations, and they were located at the city’s north and south quadrants respectively.

　　The duo went directly to the south quadrant.

　　From afar, they could see the large transportation formation.

　　Surrounding the transportation formation was a group of stationed guards. Their clothes were also embroidered with the totem of Grotto-Heaven Cliff’s Lin family.

　　Chu Liuyue thought to herself, Even though this is a second-grade transportation formation, its scale is much greater than the Tianling Dynasty’s largest transportation formation. Realistically speaking, the two can’t even be compared.

　　It was already in the afternoon, but there were many people coming through and leaving the transportation formation.

　　Every time someone went up to the transportation formation, they would first go to a position in the lower-left area. It seemed like it was to pay money.

　　Chu Liuyue also brought Dugu Mobao over and politely said, “Hello, we would like to board the transportation formation and go to the nearest city here.”

　　That man looked up at her. When he saw Dugu Mobao beside her, he squinted his eyes and faintly said, “I won’t do your business!”
