Lu Ye was somewhat wary of the specter, thinking that this woman wouldn't stoop so low as to ambush him here.

In fact, the specter didn't do so, but Lu Ye never expected she was actually being pursued.

Seeing Lu Ye summon his starboat, the specter panicked and transmitted, "Don't run, join me in fighting him!"

Fight your damn head!

Lu Ye turned a deaf ear to her words, as the speed of the starboat gradually increased and transformed into a stream of light rushing towards the distance.

The specter sighed helplessly upon seeing this scene, "Since that's the case, don't blame me!"

Lu Ye suddenly had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, he heard the specter shout loudly behind him, "Fa Wuzun, save me!"

The Moon Jade, who was in pursuit of the specter, was startled upon hearing the name "Fa Wuzun." He was hunting the specter because she killed a sect member he valued highly. Unfortunately, although the specter's cultivation was not as high, her escape skills were top-notch. He had been pursuing her for several days without success.

However, the specter had nearly reached her limit over these days. At most, half a day more, and she'd have no way out.

An individual appearing on the specter's escape route didn't concern the Moon Jade initially. During his pursuit, he had also encountered passing cultivators, but all of them had steered clear, similar to this one's reaction.

But the mention of the name "Fa Wuzun" could not be ignored.

This figure was also a powerful presence stationed on the All Phenomena Ocean, belonging to a faction researching how to mass-produce the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc. Sadly, there had been little progress; this creation was the work of Fa Wuzun, who could undoubtedly mass-produce it.

Every faction was interested in such treasures that could shift the balance of the cultivation world, and many were looking for Fa Wuzun's whereabouts. Unfortunately, ever since the Melee Battle Meet, Fa Wuzun seemed to have vanished without a trace.

The Moon Jade never expected to encounter Fa Wuzun here. Looking closely, the figure's back indeed resembled him greatly.

He had never truly met Fa Wuzun but had seen his likeness captured secretly during an auction.

If this person truly were Fa Wuzun, he must not let him slip away.

Seeing Lu Ye's starboat accelerating, the Moon Jade acted decisively, raising his hand to unleash a golden light.

Standing on the starboat, Lu Ye pushed his spirit force to its limits. Suddenly alarmed, he turned around and, without thinking, struck with his saber.

This strike not only had traces of the Tyrannical Saber Technique but also marks from the short sword legacy. Coupled with his current Constellation Late Stage cultivation, it was the strongest strike he had ever delivered.

The saber struck the incoming golden light, but Lu Ye felt no resistance. Realizing the danger, the golden light bypassed the Boulder Mountain Saber and headed straight for his face.

Lu Ye tilted his body, and the golden light swept past his ear, cutting off a few strands of hair.

The golden light, instead of attacking him again, twirled and flew back.

The speed of the starboat beneath Lu Ye's feet had reached its limit, transforming into a stream of light and rushing towards the distance. In his field of vision, the figure of the Moon Jade quickly diminished.

Secretly relieved by his quick actions, he thought, if this Moon Jade had entangled him, it would have been trouble.

However, if it came to that, he could still use the Void Spirit Runes to escape. The opponent might not be able to do anything about him. He remembered when he was in the Constellation Early Stage, he used this trick to evade Tang Jun's pursuit too.

Looking back, the Moon Jade did not seem to have the intention to pursue, making Lu Ye frown slightly, feeling something was off.

Watching Lu Ye's departing figure, the Moon Jade scanned the surroundings, seeing no sign of the specter, but he knew she must be hiding somewhere nearby. She had done this repeatedly during the chase, and it had taken him much effort to find her each time.

But dealing with this Specter Race was not the priority at the moment; in terms of value, Fa Wuzun was far more consequential.

"Within ten days, report to the Eternal Island for punishment, or even if you're a disciple of that master, I will not spare you!"

After these words, the Moon Jade looked down at what he held in his hand, which was half a rope, golden in its entirety. It was the true form of the golden light that had attacked Lu Ye earlier.

He thought his strike would be irresistible for Lu Ye, but he had underestimated Lu Ye's strength and reaction. That casual strike hadn't impacted Lu Ye as expected, so when he realized he couldn't stop Lu Ye from escaping, he took something from Lu Ye instead.

At this moment, wrapped around that half rope were several strands of cut hair.

Showing a reluctant expression, the Moon Jade hardened his resolve. With a firm grip, his spirit force surged, and the half rope suddenly glowed with golden light, then burst into flames as if ignited.

This half golden rope was a magic treasure, an exotic treasure kind. Burning it like this naturally destroyed it completely.

But compared to the value of Fa Wuzun, what did a magic treasure count for?

A moment later, Moon Jade opened her palm, and the golden rope had disappeared, replaced by a golden mark on her palm!

After a quick glance, she flashed and chased after him.

Moments after she left, a ghostly figure suddenly emerged from the nearby stellar space—it was the specter who had been hiding there all along.

She looked in the direction Moon Jade had left, knowing something was amiss, and quickly transmitted a message to Lu Ye: "I don't know which secret technique that person used, but they might be able to track you. Be careful!"

Dragging Fa Wuzun into this turmoil was truly a last resort, as she had no way of escaping a mid-stage Moon Jade's pursuit. Two days ago, Fa Wuzun happened to send a message, so she conveniently gave him a meeting point, hoping to join forces to fend off the enemy, but it did not go as planned.

If Fa Wuzun were caught or killed because of this, she would feel guilty. After all, during the battle with the Skeletal General, Fa Wuzun had been a great help.

In her capacity, she's willing to give Fa Wuzun a friendly warning. Still feeling uneasy, she silently trailed far behind the mid-stage Moon Jade.

Almost at the moment the golden rope was incinerated, Lu Ye sensed something was off, as if something was secretly watching him from the shadows. No matter how fast he pushed the starboat, he couldn't escape it.

He wasn't sure what was happening at first, but after seeing the specter's message, Lu Ye realized that Moon Jade hadn't given up on him and was using some unknown secret technique to track him.

"I'll settle this with you later!" Lu Ye responded viciously.

He had initially planned to return directly to the All Phenomena Ocean, but now that plan was out the window. If Moon Jade could really track him, Unparalleled Island must not be exposed.

Hiding on All Phenomena Island seemed like a solution, for no one could make a move there, but he couldn't hide there forever, and he didn't know how long this secret technique would last.

The specter sensed Lu Ye's frustration and could only reply, "I couldn't help it. I intended to team up with you, but you ran so fast. It's my fault. Survive this, and I'll make it up to you later!"

Whether or not she'll make it up to him is not the main issue right now; the main issue is how to resolve the current predicament.

As he was contemplating this, the sense of being watched became much stronger. Lu Ye turned his head and saw a light spot quickly approaching from behind, moving much faster than him.

It was Moon Jade, also piloting a starboat in pursuit.

Though both had starboats, her higher cultivation and superior starboat quality meant it was only a matter of time before she caught up.

Lu Ye could only raise a hand and send out a weapon control, letting it fly off in another direction while he pushed the starboat to its limit to buy some time.

Half an hour later, the distance was reaching a critical point. Sensing the surge in spirit force from Moon Jade behind him, realizing she was about to strike, Lu Ye couldn't spare a thought for the starboat and directly activated the Void Spirit Runes, vanishing from the spot.

Just as Moon Jade was about to strike, she frowned because even she couldn't see how Lu Ye disappeared.

She quickly looked at her palm and found that the golden mark was pointing in another direction, and judging by her perception, Fa Wuzun was already thousands of miles away!

How did he do that? Her expression was puzzled; it couldn't be that Fa Wuzun's starboat had a teleportation array connected elsewhere, could it?

The secret technique's guidance wouldn't be wrong, so she immediately adjusted her direction and pursued the marked direction.

In that direction, Lu Ye had already dispatched several weapons and was desperately fleeing.

But moments later, he sensed that Moon Jade had already caught up, forcing him to once again activate the Void Spirit Runes to change locations.

Repeatedly, in this chase and escape, Lu Ye realized that no matter what he did, he couldn't shake off Moon Jade's pursuit.

His mind understood clearly; unless he took down Moon Jade this time, escape was impossible.

Making up his mind, Lu Ye identified a desolate planet and flew towards it.

He rushed onto the desolate planet, and upon arrival, heard an angry shout from far behind: "You can't escape! Surrender, and I won't make things difficult for you. But if I catch you, you'll suffer!"

Lu Ye naturally paid him no heed. Seeing time was running out, he didn't bother to be picky and directly retrieved the green sea conch from where he landed, channeling spirit force into it to blow.

Meanwhile, he appeared to be anxiously watching Moon Jade approach.

The conch's sound echoed, and a green light flickered.

Moon Jade had already entered the desolate planet. Seeing Lu Ye's actions from afar, though she didn't know what he intended, she still sent a palm strike from a distance.

A gigantic palm imprint appeared out of thin air, descending as if the sky itself was collapsing, quickly engulfing Lu Ye's figure.

The dust below rose into the air, creating chaos.
