Lin Yue wouldn't appear here for no reason. Since she could call out Li Taibai's name, she must have received some news.
This wasn't surprising. When Lu Ye and Liu Yuemei first fought in the fissure, the commotion was quite big. Otherwise, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of the underground Insect Race. If there were cultivators nearby, they should have noticed.
Some Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators probably noticed the battle here and passed the news to Lin Yue. Lin Yue was worried about his safety, so she came to investigate.
She was a thoughtful person.
But facing Lu Ye was a bit awkward. He couldn't meet Lin Yue face to face. After all, they were on different sides. Should he fight or not? If it was under normal circumstances, he could just hide and wait for Lin Yue to leave.
But now, there were Insect Race cultivators everywhere, so he couldn't hide at all.
He could only activate the Thousand Face Mask and transform into Li Taibai's appearance. During the fierce battle, he put on the Scarlet Dragon Battle Robe, hung the Sword Gourd on his waist, put away the Mountain Coiling Saber, and put the amber into his Spirit Beast Bag.
After a series of actions, he was surrounded by Insect Race cultivators from all directions. Several Divine Sea Realm Insect Race cultivators were eyeing him.
With a flash of sword light, Sword Qi overflowed and cleared a large vacuum in an instant. Insect blood and severed limbs scattered everywhere. Lu Ye rushed up and rushed out of the fissure in a few breaths.
Not far away, a figure was besieged by Insect Race cultivators. It was Lin Yue.
Although she was a Seventh Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator, the same as Liu Yuemei, the number and quality of the Insect Race cultivators that appeared this time were far greater than before.
This was also the reason why she couldn't enter the fissure to search for Li Taibai. Fortunately, she could rely on her own cultivation to hold on.
Hearing the sound of a sword, she turned her head and saw a familiar figure at a glance. She was overjoyed and called out, "Li Taibai." Lu Ye greeted her and soon met up with her.
"Let's go!" Lu Ye called out. He had consumed too much energy and didn't want to stay here and fight with the Insect Race. What he needed to do now was recover and adjust his breathing.
Lin Yue followed his advice and the two immediately turned around and rushed towards the Dark Moon Forest Pass. Suddenly, they broke out of the encirclement. Many Insect Race cultivators behind them, but they were quickly shaken off.
The path ahead was still blocked by insectoids, but they did not pose much of a threat.
Flying through the air, Lu Ye looked down with a frown. All he could see were insectoids of various shapes and sizes. It could be said that this was a sizable insectoid tide, and there was still an endless stream of insectoids pouring out from the fissure he had escaped from, increasing the size of the insectoid tide.
In the past two years in the Nine Regions, there had been countless insect swarms of all sizes in various regions. They had all crawled out from different cracks in the ground. Moreover, the insect race was extremely sensitive to spiritual energy fluctuations. Therefore, as long as they gathered into a tide, they would inevitably swarm towards the gathering place of the human race.
Their current location was in the middle of the Dark Moon Forest Pass and the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. They were slightly closer to the Dark Moon Forest Pass. One could foresee that the insect tide would definitely cause a certain degree of impact to the two passes.
What the cultivators at the two mountain passes had to do was to defend against the insectoid swarm and exterminate the insectoids.
Lin Yue was already arranging for the cultivators of the Demons Ridge to return. It was difficult for an individual to fight against such a large insect tide, even for cultivators of the Spirit Sea Realm. They could only defend the mountain pass and rely on the fortifications there to resist the enemy.
The Dark Moon Forest Pass had experienced this many times, so he knew how to deal with it. …
After sending out messages, Lin Yue finally had time to talk to Lu Ye, "Junior Brother Tai Bai, were you fighting with Liu Yuemei before?"
Lu Ye knew that she would ask about the smoke and had already thought about it, so he replied, "That's right."
There was no way to deny it. Within a radius of a thousand kilometres, there were only three Spirit Sea Realm cultivators. Some Demons Ridge cultivators had already noticed the fluctuations of a battle between Spirit Sea Realm cultivators and reported it to Lin Yue. Lin Yue was not a fool.
She would not have come to find him.
Moreover, Liu Yuemei's death had to have a place.
Lin Yue could not help but be shocked, "Where is she?"
Just now, she only saw Lu Ye rushing out from the crack in the ground. There was no trace of Liu Yuemei at all.
"She's dead!" Lu Ye said concisely.
Lin Yue was even more shocked. Her expression changed, "How did she die?"
It was not that she had any friendship with Liu Yuemei, but they were both Seventh Order Divine Sea Realm cultivators. Moreover, she was weaker than Liu Yuemei. If there was any danger that could kill Liu Yuemei, it could also take her life. She had to be careful.
Lu Ye naturally would not say that he was the one who killed her. Not to mention whether Lin Yue would believe him or not, even if she did, there were many things that could not be explained. He simply said, "She was attacked by the Insect Race during the battle and died."
In any case, Liu Yuemei did die in the crack in the ground, and there were so many Insect Race cultivators. It was just right to push the blame to the Insect Race.
In the past two years, there had been many Spirit Sea Realm cultivators who had died at the hands of the Insect Race. There were many Eighth or Ninth Order Divine Sea Realm cultivators among them. There were also powerful existences among the Insect Race!
Lin Yue could not help but feel a little absent-minded.
Lin Yue had been guarding the Dark Moon Forest Pass for more than ten years, and Liu Yuemei had also been guarding the Shocking Waves Lake Pass for a long time. Both of them were female cultivators with similar age and strength. It could be said that they had crossed swords many times and regarded each other as their opponents.
This was also the reason why the Myriad Demon Ridge had Lin Yue guard the Dark Moon Forest Pass, and Grand Heaven Alliance had Liu Yuemei guard the Shocking Waves Lake Pass. The two women had crossed swords for many years, and it could be said that they knew each other well. With the two of them guarding one side, their camps could rest assured and there would not be any major mistakes.
However, they did not expect that the opponent they had been entangled with for so many years would die just like that. Lin Yue suddenly felt a little emotional. She did not know the meaning of their rivalry all these years.
On the way back, they did not see a single person. The Myriad Demon Ridge had received instructions from Lin Yue, so they naturally returned to the Dark Moon Forest Pass early and made preparations to guard the pass.
On the walls of the pass, many defensive fortifications were ready. They were waiting for the Insect Race to attack, so that they could kill them all.
"Junior Brother Tai Bai, you should rest first. I don't think the Insect Race will spread here within a day," Lin Yue said. The main reason was that she could sense that Lu Ye had expended a lot of energy. The battle was imminent, and he was the only Divine Ocean Realm cultivator under him. Naturally, she had to take good care of him.
Lu Ye did not say much and walked towards his residence. After entering, he sat down cross-legged and consumed a spiritual pill to recover his energy.
Although he had no choice but to return to the Dark Moon Forest Pass, he had experienced it once before. Hence, it was not difficult for him to escape. He just had to find an opportunity.
However, he had other worries, and that was whether or not the Shocking Waves Lake Pass would be able to block this bug tide.
Liu Yuemei was killed by him. The Shocking Waves Lake Pass could be said to be a group of dragons without a leader. More importantly, they probably did not know that their Pass Master was dead! …
Currently, there were only a few Cloud River Realm and True Lake Realm cultivators guarding the pass. If the scale of the Insect Race was too large, the Shocking Waves Lake Pass might not be able to hold on without a Divine Ocean Realm cultivator guarding it.
Another point was that Lin Yue had sent a message to the Dark Moon Forest Pass, summoning all the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who were out and making preparations to guard the pass. However, there was no one at the Shocking Waves Lake Pass to remind them.
Although he knew that the Insect Race was coming, he could not rush over to warn them.
He could only hope that they would be able to detect it as soon as possible and deal with it as soon as possible.
They were all accomplished cultivators and not children. There were many things that could not be completely relied on. Each of them should take responsibility.
As time passed, Lu Ye slowly recovered.
Suddenly, there was an intense wave of spiritual energy coming from outside, accompanied by a buzzing sound. The entire pass was shaking. Lu Ye hurriedly pushed open the door and rushed out. His body swayed and he flew to the top of the pass's wall.
Looking up, his heart sank.
In his vision, there were insect race figures everywhere. There were insects crawling on the ground and flying in the air. The scale of this Insect Race was much larger than he had imagined.
The closest insectoids were only 1.5 kilometers away from the mountain pass. At this moment, the many fortifications on the mountain pass were unleashing their powers. Through the activation of the formations, attacks were launched toward the insectoids. Every time a vacuum was created, it would be quickly filled by new insectoids.
"Little Pass Master!" A few cultivators saw him appear and bowed in unison.
Lu Ye glanced over. Among them, Ying Wu Ji squeezed out a smile, feeling inexplicably nervous.
Although this Little Pass Lord had been in the Dark Moon Forest Pass for more than three months and had interacted with him many times, Ying Wu Ji did not know why but every time he saw this Little Pass Lord, he would feel a little flustered.
The Little Pass Master had never made things difficult for him. Moreover, they were about the same age, and Ying Wu Ji was even older … He did not know where this invisible pressure came from. He could only attribute it to the pressure unique to the Spirit Sea Realm.
"Go do what you need to do," Lu Ye said.
The few people felt as if they had been pardoned and quickly worked together to activate the Spirit Array, activating the power of the spirit artifact placed in the Array Eye.
Lin Yue flashed over and smiled, "I haven't congratulated Junior Brother for reaching the Second-Order."
When she returned yesterday, she had noticed Lu Ye's breakthrough. However, she had been busy defending the Heart Pass and did not have the time to mention it.
"It's only the Second-Order, there is still a big gap between me and Senior Sister," Lu Ye nodded lightly.
Lin Yue laughed, "You've only been cultivating for a short time, yet you've already reached the Second-Order Divine Sea Realm. I'm afraid that in a few years, your cultivation will surpass mine. When that time comes, don't despise Senior Sister for being stupid."
"Senior Sister, what are you saying?"
Ying Wu Ji and the others were busy with the task at hand, so the conversation between the two Spirit Sea Realm cultivators went into their ears.
"What does Senior Sister think about this insect tide?" Lu Ye changed the topic.
"The scale is very large, it can be said to be the largest insect tide we've encountered in the past two years," Lin Yue's expression became serious. Lin Yue's expression became serious. "If the mountain pass was at its peak, it wouldn't be difficult to stop this insect tide. However, Junior Brother also knows that many people in the mountain pass have been transferred away. Not only the Dark Moon Forest Pass, but also the other mountain passes of both camps. Therefore, if we want to stop this insect tide, we have to work together."
Most importantly, they had to find a way to kill the Spirit Sea Realm insects in the insect tide in order to reduce the pressure on the pass.
"I understand," Lu Ye nodded.
Lin Yue hesitated, "Actually, I'm not too worried about our side, I'm more worried about Shocking Waves Lake Pass right now."
