uan City only gave him that much time.>At this thought, Lu Ye's mind became fervent. Though this matter seemed rather strange and inexplicable, perhaps it could turn out to be a blessing in disguise.M...In the cave, Lü Ye and Ma Bin sat facing each other, talking. Most of the time, it was Lü Ye who spoke, while Ma Bin listened attentively. As their conversation grew lively, Ma Bin took out some wine and drank generously, his expression full of joy. A few days passed in a blink of an eye.

Ma Bin finished the last pot of wine and wiped his mouth. "Well, Kyushu is still peaceful, and I've finally put my worries to rest. It's getting late, and this old man should be on his way."

He said this and stood up.

When he sat in meditation, Lu Ye felt that he was majestic. When he stood up, he appeared even more towering.

Ma Bin smiled: "Things the old man does are none of your concern, nor do you need to interfere."

Looking at the young and energetic face before him, Ma Bin's expression turned serious as he instructed: "Remember this, from now on, you don't know me, and I don't know you. You and I have never met."

All wise people know some things don't need to be stated explicitly. Ma Bin wouldn't have asked Zhu Yuan to devise a way to lure Lu Ye here if he wasn't desperate to find out about the current state of Jiuzhou. For someone like him, even this highly clandestine meeting carries a certain risk.

Now that his wish has been fulfilled, Ma Bin naturally wouldn't want to let the Nine Provinces have anything more to do with him.

Millennia of time have spanned, completely dividing two eras. The former era of the Nine Provinces...

Matters concerning the >> naturally should be handled by those from the former Kyushu era. There's no need to involve later Kyushu in this. Even if present-day Kyushu faces irresistible enemies and is enslaved, it would still be better than being associated with them.

Even before this, he had set a test for Lu Ye by putting pressure on him. If Lu Ye had caved then and truly begged for mercy, after inquiring about the current situation in Kyushu, he would have definitely killed him.

Due to the special nature of Kyushu, we cannot allow such cowardly and fearful individuals to roam freely. If they were allowed to act recklessly, there is a risk that one day their actions would expose Kyushu's existence and bring about disaster.

Although Lu Ye's performance undoubtedly made him satisfied, under such circumstances, Lu Ye not only did not kneel and beg for mercy as he wished, but instead fought to the death. This was very much to his liking.

In his view, cultivators from the Nine States should be like this, rather to die standing than to live kneeling…

As Ma Bin walked out of the cave, Lu Ye immediately saw Zhu Yuan standing there unharmed. Not only was he alive, but his severed arm had even grown back.

Zhu Yuan's cultivation in the later stages of Xingxu was high. Broken arms and reattachment were normal, but death and rebirth were abnormal. Looking at it now, Zhu Yuan's death a few days ago should have been just a smokescreen. However, Ma Bin's actions were too clever, deceiving him.

Ma Bin, burdened by his hands, turned his head and cast one last glance at Lu Ye. He raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder, saying solemnly, "Live well!"

As soon as the words left her lips, her figure surged forward, crashing straight into Zhu Yuan's body. Like a wisp of blue smoke, she vanished without a trace!

Zhu Yuan launched his own starship, soaring into the sky. Lu Ye watched him depart.

This brief journey deeply shook him. He never expected that there would still be powerful figures from the pre-Kyushu era.

Ma Bin's words had been etched into his heart, making him realize even more clearly that he wasn't suited to get involved. Ma Bin was now free and carefree, able to kill a Sun-Gazer in the Vast Sea of Ten Thousand Forms and move about freely within this Stellar System of Ten Thousand Forms, precisely because he had no attachments. But if he were to drag Jiuzhou into it, it would undoubtedly become his weakness and restraint, and it would be extremely detrimental to Jiuzhou itself.

After several days of conversation, Lu Ye got the impression from Ma Bin that he was forthright and generous, unrestrained by convention. However, observing this senior's way of doing things, Lu Ye knew he was not a good person, and his disposition was extremely vicious and cruel.

Although he is not a good person, he will ultimately be one of our own! you take good care of your wounds and recuperate, you will be able to recover.To his despair, this was his current situation.He had previously been cut out a safe passage by Lu Ye with a single sword...
