Now that Zhu Ge was dead, Lu Ye turned his head and looked in a certain direction. In that direction, a figure suddenly appeared and turned into a stream of light, quickly fleeing into the distance.
Looking at the figure, it was the female cultivator who had fled before! This woman had sneaked back at some unknown time and was hiding nearby. Obviously, she wanted to be the oriole behind the mantis stalking the cicada. If she was lucky, she could wait for Lu Ye and Zhu Ge to fight until both sides were injured. Then, she might be able to get two easy harvests.
But what she didn't expect was that the battle was one-sided from the beginning. Zhu Ge couldn't fight back under the unreasonable suppression of the Weapon Cultivator and was beaten to death!
Moreover, she clearly saw that the Weapon Cultivator had abandoned his long sabre from the beginning and used two unrefined short pestle spirit artifacts instead.
In other words, the Weapon Cultivator didn't use his full strength at all! If the Weapon Cultivator had his long sabre, she didn't know what kind of crushing situation it would be.
Watching the battle, the female cultivator's mind was undoubtedly shaken. She had felt Lu Ye's strength before, so she decisively left. But she didn't give up, thinking that she could take advantage of the situation, so she sneaked back. But after a glance, she realized that the Weapon Cultivator's strength was far beyond her expectations!
Zhu Ge's strength was definitely not weak. Among this group of Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, he was at least above average. But in front of the Weapon Cultivator, he was still beaten like a child.
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, the female cultivator wouldn't have believed that such a thing could happen in this world.
Where did this freak come from? What shocked her even more was that he was only an Eighth Order Spirit Sea Realm cultivator!
So when Lu Ye turned his head and looked at her, she didn't dare to hesitate and immediately fled. This time, she really left. In the three-person team, the Ghost Cultivator died mysteriously and Zhu Ge was smashed to death. She didn't want to follow in her companions' footsteps.
Looking in the direction the female cultivator fled, Lu Ye didn't chase. The main reason was that the Mountain Coiling Sabre was still underground. He had to take it back. Otherwise, if someone else picked it up, it would be too late to cry. 2
In a flash, he rushed to the place where the Mountain Coiling Sabre fell. Only the hilt was exposed on the ground, the entire sabre was stuck in the ground.
Cracks appeared on the ground around his heart.
When he pulled out the Mountain Pan Saber, he could still feel its heavy weight. Earlier, he had tried to disperse the black light on the saber but failed. Now that he tried again, there were no more obstacles.
The essence of the black light was extremely fine black sand. Each grain was as fine as a speck of dust, but each grain was incomparably heavy. It was refined by Zhu Ge to restrain the sharp blades of cultivators.
Now that Zhu Ke was dead, there was no one to control the black light. It wasn't too difficult to disperse it.
Lu Ye spent some time to disperse the black light. Only then did the Pan Mountain Saber return to its original appearance. He also put away the black sand. This thing's quality was obviously not bad. He could sell it when the time came, or add a little bit of it when forging the Pan Mountain Saber. It would increase the weight of the Pan Mountain Saber to suit his own strength.
The last time the coiling mountain saber had been upgraded was a long time ago. Ever since Lu Ye had reached the Divine Sea realm, his cultivation had rapidly risen. The quality of the coiling mountain saber could be improved by fusing with the Soul Severing Saber, allowing it to meet Lu Ye's requirements at any time. But, the quality of the coiling mountain saber itself was unable to keep up with Lu Ye's cultivation.
Disregarding everything else, just the weight alone was barely satisfactory. Lu Ye estimated that after he reached the Constellation realm, the current coiling mountain saber would no longer be able to meet the requirements of his cultivation. Therefore, when that time came, it would be necessary to forge it.
After a slight delay, Lu Ye leaped in the direction of the treasured gourd.
Previously, a large number of cultivators had already chased after it. He didn't know what the situation was now. However, with so many people gathered together, the treasured gourd had only dried up. If he wanted to snatch it, the difficulty would not be ordinary. When the time came for a battle, chaos would definitely occur.
As he flew, he sensed the situation on the clone's side. At this moment, the clone was hibernating in a hidden place thousands of miles away. He had even set up a large formation to conceal his existence. When the nearby cultivators were attracted by the treasured gourd's phenomenon, it was very difficult for others to discover him.
At this moment, the sword gourd at the clone's waist was rhythmically vibrating …
Without a doubt, the sword gourd came from the Fortune Vine. It was a supreme treasure.
Therefore, when the Fortune Vine appeared, the sword gourd could sense it and lead the clone to rush over.
However, before that, it was just a guide. In fact, even without this guide, as long as Lu Ye was nearby, he would be able to see the magnificent and eye-catching phenomenon. Hundreds of cultivators had been gathered like this.
However, after the treasured gourd on the Fortune Vine matured and fell off, the sword gourd had a different reaction. Just like now, it was gently vibrating rhythmically.
Moreover, the clone could clearly feel that the sword gourd was about to leave him and fly forward. However, this trend was not strong, and the clone easily suppressed it.
When he recalled that the treasured gourd had flown in the direction of the clone when it fell, Lu Ye could not help but have an exciting thought in his heart.
Could it be that the treasured gourd that had just appeared was going to fly to the clone?
All treasures had their own spirits. Even if they had different effects, they still came from the same source, and it was normal for them to be attracted to each other.
Now that the Fortune Vine had disappeared, the newly born treasured gourd was in a state of no return. In such a state, it would naturally be attracted by the aura of the same source!
Honestly speaking, Lu Ye did not have much interest in the treasured gourd. Although it was a good item, one's strength was not the only thing that tested one's ability to obtain such a precious treasure in front of hundreds of people.
The reason he'd stayed here until now was firstly because of coincidences and fortuitous encounters, and it was a rare opportunity that allowed him to broaden his horizons and gain knowledge. Secondly, it was to see if there was an opportunity to eliminate some of his competitors and obtain more gains. He only had a casual attitude towards the treasured gourd.
He believed that most cultivators had the same idea. If one was lucky enough to obtain a treasured gourd, it would be best. The value of such an item was enough to make any cultivator withdraw from the Alpha-Origin stage and give up on the fight for a spot in the top hundred.
However, the situation had changed. The treasured gourd had formed a connection with his sword gourd, and Lu Ye could not help but think more about it.
Compared to the others, the doppelganger's side undoubtedly had a unique advantage.
This was something that Lu Ye had not expected.
But how was he going to steal the treasured gourd from under the noses of hundreds of people without any worries? Snatching it by force would definitely not work. Even if he succeeded, he would become the target of public criticism. When that happened, he would become the target of everyone in the Alpha-Origin stage, and no one would be able to resist unless they left the Alpha-Origin stage in advance. This was not what Lu Ye wanted. He now had some thoughts about the treasured gourd, and he definitely had to obtain a spot in the top hundred.
He could only think of a way. Of course, it would be perfect if the treasured gourd could directly fly to the clone's side. A group of people would chase after the treasured gourd, and the clone could directly teleport to the main body's side to shake them off. The clone could then activate the thousand faces spirit rune to change its appearance in advance, and no one would know that Lu Ye had obtained such a precious treasure.
However, the treasured gourd still had not flown to the clone's side despite the distance of a thousand miles. It was obvious that something had gone wrong.
Lu Ye soon knew where the problem was. After flying less than two hundred miles, he saw hundreds of cultivators forming a large circle in the sky. There was a treasure light rushing left and right, but it was blocked by the cultivators. That treasure light was obviously the treasured gourd!
At first glance, it seemed that hundreds of cultivators were sincerely united to suppress the treasured gourd, but that was not the case at all. While these cultivators were intercepting the treasured gourd, they were also attacking each other. However, their attacks were relatively restrained, and there were not many casualties.
In such a situation, no one was willing to fight to the point where both sides suffered losses and let others benefit from it.
Moreover, the strange thing was that the numerous cultivators were clearly attracted by the treasured gourd's phenomenon, but no one dared to touch it at this time.
This was a lesson learned from the mistakes of others …
Before Lu Ye arrived, there were several people who didn't have eyes. The moment they tried to snatch the gourd, they were attacked from all directions and had their Divine Souls destroyed. In such a chaotic scene, it was hard to tell who was the one who did it.
Therefore, the cultivators' response was the current situation. They only intercepted the treasured gourd and did not touch it!
Such a situation gave every cultivator a headache. With treasures in front of them, it was impossible not to be tempted.
That was impossible, but it would be useless even if he had the life to use it.
No one knew how long such a situation would last, but it was certain that it would not last for long. This was because this was the inner circle of the Alpha Origin stage. Once a certain time limit was reached, the cultivators would no longer be able to stay in this position. At that time, this tight defensive circle would inevitably collapse.
When Lu Ye arrived, he did not attract much attention. Most cultivators' attention was now attracted by others, so who would pay attention to others?
Moreover, Lu Ye did not go forward and only watched from afar, making it even more difficult to attract the attention of others.
After watching for a while, he had a general understanding of the current situation, and a plan slowly took shape in his mind!
His clone had a natural advantage in snatching the treasured gourd, so what he needed to do now was very simple. He needed to break this impenetrable defensive circle and give the treasured gourd a chance to rush out!
As long as the treasured gourd could rush out, it would most likely fly in the direction of his clone. At that time, his clone would be able to directly collect it.
But before that, he needed to make some arrangements!
After all, if his clone succeeded, he would have to face the pursuit of hundreds of cultivators. If there was no one around the main body, his clone could directly teleport over. However, Lu Ye could not determine the exact situation, so it was safer to make some arrangements in advance.
With this thought, Lu Ye turned around and left. At the same time, his clone began to get busy.
The situation here would not change much in the short term. Calculating the time, the Alpha Origin stage's range of activity should be reduced in two days. At that time, no one would be able to stay here. Therefore, Lu Ye had to act before then, lest something unexpected happened.
