"Junior Brother Lu, what do we do now?" Haitang was an honest and obedient person. She would do whatever her master told her to do.
"Let's go over and take a look at the situation first," Lu Ye replied.
There were many things that couldn't be fully understood just by looking at the information recorded in the jade slips. They had to see it with their own eyes.
Haitang led her troops forward, and after a short while, they saw a battlefield in full swing in front of them.
Before they met, no one knew what kind of lineup the other two tribes had. Now that they were there, everyone scanned the battlefield with their Divine Perception, and their expressions turned grave.
Someone exclaimed, "Oh no!"
It couldn't be helped. Among the two tribes, there were actually late-stage Constellation Constellation cultivators, and there were at least two mid-stage Constellation Constellation cultivators. Now, from the distribution of their positions, the western tribe had the upper hand because they had three mid-stage Constellation Constellation cultivators.
On the other hand, Haitang was the only mid-stage Constellation Constellation cultivator, and the others were all early-stage Constellation Constellation cultivators. Comparing their strength, they seemed extremely shabby.
In an instant, everyone's hearts were filled with bitterness, and their morale was low.
Haitang sensed this and immediately shouted, "The overall situation isn't set yet. Don't be discouraged. Even if we're not as strong as them on the surface, we still have to fight for the glory of the eastern tribe. We can't let those two tribes look down on us!"
Only then did the others calm down, knowing that Haitang was right.
Lu Ye was currently observing the battlefield, or to be more precise, observing the spirit sphere. At this moment, what entered his eyes was a glowing sphere about a thousand feet in diameter. It looked like a condensation of energy, but as for what it was, Lu Ye couldn't see it clearly.
At this moment, the eighteen Constellation Constellation cultivators of the southern and western tribes were fighting near the spirit ball. Colorful lights bloomed one after another.
However, Lu Ye could tell at a glance that these two tribes weren't fighting for real. Everyone was holding back, so although the battle was in full swing, it only looked that way on the surface.
Moreover, during the battle, people would occasionally use their techniques to hit the spirit ball, changing its direction and speed. The southern tribe had the upper hand. Before the western tribe rushed over, they had already moved a long distance with the spirit ball, so their position was the closest to the southern tribe's camp.
However, at this moment, they were being obstructed by the western troops. It was impossible for them to continue forward with the spiritual orbs unless they killed a group of western troops.
If there were only two groups fighting, the southern side would definitely make this choice. They couldn't let this stalemate continue. In this kind of confrontation, whichever side was closest to the main camp would have the advantage, because even if they died in battle, they would be able to rush back to the battlefield faster.
However, everyone knew that they had yet to reach the eastern region. How could they let the sandpiper and the clam fight and let the fisherman benefit?
As a result, the two tribes tacitly agreed to a stalemate. At this time, the eastern troops arrived near the battlefield. While the eastern troops were investigating them, the southern and western troops were also investigating the eastern troops.
In the end, he saw that there was one middle-stage and eight early-stage on the eastern side.
They all retracted their Divine Senses.
As soon as Haitang's words of encouragement fell, everyone once again experienced the helplessness of being looked down upon.
However, they weren't completely ignored, because someone from the western side shouted, "Eastern people, what are you standing there for? Come and help!"
It wasn't that the western and eastern sides had a good relationship. It was just that in such a three-way confrontation, it was common for them to work together and undermine each other. Moreover, their positions would constantly change as the situation developed.
Now that the southern side had the advantage, the western side would naturally call for the eastern side to attack together.
Haitang was undoubtedly familiar with the process of the past martial arts practice. For this martial arts practice, she had put in a lot of effort, so when she heard the western tribesmen's call, she didn't hesitate and immediately rushed forward. At the same time, she transmitted her voice to everyone on her side, "Don't be too far away from me. You must move as a group."
In such a battlefield, it seemed like there was no danger to their lives, but if they were left alone, they would definitely be targeted and killed.
Therefore, in the current situation, moving as a group was the only feasible solution.
Under Haitang's lead, the nine constellations of the eastern side entered one side of the battlefield. In an instant, the pressure on the southern side increased greatly. The most obvious change was the change in the direction of the spirit ball's flight.
Originally, in the entanglement between the southern and western sides, although the spirit ball would sometimes head east and sometimes west, overall, it wouldn't move too far. Because the strength of the two sides wasn't too different, it was difficult to determine the direction of the spirit ball.
Now that the eastern side had joined in, the situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for the southern side. Under the joint efforts of the eastern and western constellations, the spirit ball constantly flew towards the center of the Black Abyss. In other words, it was far away from the southern camp.
This made the southern constellations very angry. One after another, they kept shouting and telling the eastern constellations to wait, and later they would definitely teach them a lesson.
In the midst of the battle, the cultivators didn't forget to swallow spirit pills or take out spirit jades to recover their strength.
This was a fierce battle that would last for half a month. Their own spirit energy reserves had to be ensured. Now that it had just begun, the situation was calm and they naturally couldn't squander their spirit energy too much.
If nothing else happened, this kind of battle was destined to have no results. Because no matter which side, under the covetous eyes of a third party, they didn't have the ability to destroy the other side and still maintain their full strength.
In the past Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition Matches, this kind of stalemate was actually the opening.
But in a three-way battle, how could there not be any changes?
Under the joint efforts of the eastern and western constellations, the spirit ball finally flew back to the center of the Black Abyss, making all the efforts of the southern side useless. The nine constellations were so angry that smoke came out of their heads.
But now, the eastern and western constellations that were originally cooperating sincerely, as if they were wearing the same pants, began to secretly compete with each other.
Each of them wanted to lead the spirit ball towards their own camp, so that they could gain the upper hand.
The tacit alliance was shattered at this moment.
Lu Ye could sense that the western constellation late stage cultivator was transmitting his voice to Haitang, communicating something. Although he couldn't hear the content of the conversation, he didn't need to think to know that the person was persuading Haitang to lead the eastern troops to not resist too much.
Haitang didn't respond, only constantly shaking her head to express her position.
She wasn't stupid. The eastern side's strength was the weakest in the first place, so how could they let the other two succeed at this time? Stalling for time was the most advantageous for the eastern side, which was the weakest.
This turned into a three-way battle, even more lively than before.
The nine people from the eastern side maintained the arrow formation, not wanting to fail, but to not make any mistakes.
Time passed, and half a day later, in another direction, a strange energy fluctuation suddenly appeared.
The second spirit ball had appeared!
And the location where this spirit ball appeared was actually closer to the eastern camp.
Almost at the instant this spirit ball appeared, the nine people from the eastern side immediately changed their direction, abandoning their original battlefield and rushing towards the location of the spirit ball.
Haitang naturally didn't have such a decision, but it was a plan that she had discussed with Lu Ye before the confrontation with the other two constellations.
There was actually a risk in doing so, because no matter which of the other two constellations gave chase, their own side would be caught in the crossfire, and the side that didn't give chase would reap the benefits for free.
This was very likely to happen, because everyone knew that the eastern side was the weakest. Thus, no matter which constellation gave chase, they were confident that they could defeat the eastern side. In the end, it was very likely that the western and southern tribes would each take a spirit ball, and the eastern side would get nothing.
But at this moment, the eastern side had no choice but to make such a choice, because if they didn't retreat, one of the other two constellations would definitely retreat, and at that time, the eastern side would have to face the same situation and fight the other constellation alone.
One was a possibility, and the other was a certainty.
They could only take a gamble!
The moment he flew back, Lu Ye switched places with Haitang, and he took the lead.
This was also something they had discussed beforehand, because at this moment, the more time they could gain, the greater the advantage they would have.
The arrow formation's speed suddenly increased, and the eastern constellations were surprised to find that Lu Ye's speed was much faster than Haitang's.
None of them knew anything about Lu Ye, only that the headquarters had invited external aid, and that person was Haitang's Dao Companion.
At first, they didn't pay much attention to him, because he was only at the early stage, and his cultivation was the same as theirs. But now, they realized that although his cultivation was the same, his foundation might not be the same.
The speed of flight in the starry sky was, to a large extent, a reflection of a cultivator's strength, because everyone would control their speed within the range they could control, and never exceed it. Otherwise, if they encountered danger, they wouldn't have the time to react.
Lu Ye's speed surpassed Haitang's, which undoubtedly showed that this external aid's strength wasn't as simple as it seemed.
The eastern side quickly left the battlefield, and the western and southern tribes, who were tangled in a tangle, were stunned for a moment. They didn't expect the eastern side to react so quickly, and missed the opportunity, causing the two tribes to be unable to withdraw at will.
Someone from the southern tribe shouted, "Western tribe, another spirit ball has appeared, don't bite on to this one!"
Someone from the western tribe replied, "What a coincidence, I was thinking the same thing, hurry up and snatch the other one!"
"This one belongs to the southern tribe, why should we snatch the other one!"
"The Black Abyss was born of its own accord, and has never belonged to anyone, so that one belongs to the southern tribe."
"The eastern tribe is so weak, and you don't want to deal with them, but you want to make things difficult for us? What kind of logic is this! "
"The eastern tribe is weak, but they are still our tribe, shouldn't we at least give them a guarantee?"
The quarrel didn't stop. In the end, the two tribes saw each other as their biggest rivals, and no one put the eastern tribe in their eyes. This was the main reason why the eastern tribe retreated, and no one chased after them. It could be said that the eastern tribe had picked up a bargain.
As for the guarantee, there was indeed such a thing, because every time the Black Abyss Martial Arts Exhibition ended, it was basically two to three, three to four, so it wasn't to the extent that a tribe couldn't even snatch a single spirit ball, but at least two.
In the end, this was an internal conflict among the Hominid tribes, and no tribe would be so ruthless as to exterminate the other tribe.
