Inside the Black Abyss, meteorites flew in all directions.
The people of the three tribes gathered again and waited silently.
The eighth Spirit Ball was born.
Almost at the same time, the cultivators of the three tribes all rushed in the direction of the Spirit Ball.
This time, the location where the spiritual orb appeared was closer to the Western Camp, so the nine people from the Western Camp were the first to arrive. But just as Lu Ye had expected, they didn't choose to transport the spiritual orb to their own camp. Instead, they headed to the Southern Camp.
When the nine people from the Southern Camp arrived, the two sides gathered together, chatting and laughing with each other, the atmosphere relaxed and happy.
Lu Ye led his own people and followed them from a distance of a hundred miles, looking like he wasn't willing to give up and was ready to snatch the Spirit Ball at any time.
In such a situation, the Southern and Western Camps could only unite tightly, not daring to be careless.
It wasn't until the two tribes had sent the Spirit Ball halfway that Lu Ye stopped and didn't pursue. In his perception, the eighth Spirit Ball was quickly and unwaveringly approaching the Southern Camp.
Four hours later, everything was settled down.
What followed was another long wait.
The location of the Spirit Ball wasn't fixed, generally appearing in the center of the Black Abyss, and the timing of its appearance was completely disordered. No one knew when the next Spirit Ball would appear.
In the past, there was even a precedent of a maximum of three Spirit Balls appearing at a time.
This time, the wait was a bit longer. After a full day, the ninth Spirit Ball was finally born. When the strange energy fluctuations spread out, the cultivators of the Southern and Western Tribes were like sharks that had smelled blood. They all rushed over.
The people of the Eastern Camp also flew in the same direction under Lu Ye's lead.
Just like the last time, he followed the two groups of people from afar, watching them transport the spirit balls with a huff and puff.
Duan Xiuchen and Ye Chaoqun were a little puzzled, because the two tribes had already sincerely joined hands. With such a huge gap in strength between them, why was the Eastern Camp so stubborn?
If they were in the Eastern Camp's position, they wouldn't be doing such useless things at this time, but rather strengthening the defenses of their own camp to ensure that the three Spirit Balls they had already obtained were not lost.
They didn't talk much with Lu Ye, but they could see that the foreign aid invited by the Eastern Camp wasn't an idiot. They always felt that this guy was secretly plotting something, but they didn't know what it was specifically.
The two of them secretly communicated while transporting the Spirit Orbs.
After a while, Duan Xiuchen was suddenly stunned. "Where are the others in the east?"
It was unknown when, but of the nine people from the east, only Lu Ye was left! The others were nowhere to be seen.
When he looked again, he saw a meteorite streaking past Lu Ye, and Lu Ye had disappeared without a trace!
It was also at this moment that an uproar broke out in the misty space.
At their level of cultivation, they would rarely be moved by external things. Take Chen Xuanhai and Wu Qimo for example. Even if they had noticed the change in Su Yuqing before, they would not have reacted like this unless there was something that surprised them.
The scene that they were witnessing right now was simply too strange!
From what he could see, the eighteen constellations of the Southern and Western Tribes were gathered together. There was also a dot of light that represented the spirit ball. This undoubtedly meant that the two tribes were working together to transport the spirit ball.
However, the cultivators from the eastern region that were originally near the two tribes had split up and were approaching the two tribes at an unimaginable speed.
It wasn't flying, but rather leaping forward.
There were nine people in the east, but at this moment, there were ten light spots. They were divided into two waves. After pausing at one place for a while, they suddenly moved to the next place. Judging from the distance they had jumped, they had crossed at least ten thousand miles! They were approaching the camps of the Southern and Western Tribes in a straight line without any deviation.
"Is this a teleportation talisman?" Rizhao from the west exclaimed in surprise.
Zhu Laoer from the south asked in a serious tone, "Does your family have such a teleportation talisman?"
The Dwarf Race could make teleportation talismans, but it was impossible for them to have such an effect. This was because the teleportation talismans made by the Dwarf Race could not be used to control the direction of the teleportation. In other words, the teleportation talisman would randomly teleport to a certain location. Moreover, the teleportation distance was limited.
Only a teleportation talisman made by a Sunshine cultivator had the power to teleport ten thousand miles!
Most importantly, the two tribes in the east were clearly heading toward the camps of the other two tribes without any deviation. This was not something a teleportation talisman could do.
If it was not a teleportation talisman, then it had to be a teleportation formation!
Only a teleportation formation could achieve such an effect.
The group of Rizhao finally understood the purpose of the twenty-eighth light dot's strange behavior.
Back when they were fighting for the sixth spiritual ball, the three cultivators in the west had died. When they returned to the camp, this strange twenty-eighth light dot had made a trip to the Southern and Western Tribes respectively. At that time, the Rizhao did not know what his purpose was. It was only now that they understood.
This guy … actually set up a teleportation formation along the way!
This meant that this person had already set his sights on the two tribes at that time. What kind of foresight was this?!
However, there was one thing that the Rizhao did not understand. Because in their previous observation, the twenty-eighth light dot did not stop along the way. Where did he find the time to set up a teleportation formation?
It was also unrealistic to rely on a teleportation talisman. The teleportation talismans made by the Dwarf Race were made in pairs. They could teleport from one point to another, but it was impossible to teleport continuously. Moreover, ordinary teleportation talismans could not teleport so many people.
In addition, there were large and small meteorites flying around in the Black Abyss. If a teleportation talisman was set up in advance, there was no guarantee that the talisman would not be destroyed by the meteorites.
"Brother Chen, your little brat … what's going on?" Zhu Laoer could not help but ask.
Not only did he use some unknown method to mark the twenty-eighth light dot in the Mysterious Fog Space, but now he even used such a wonderful method. Was this something that a Star Constellation could do?
Chen Xuanhai did not speak. You ask me, but who should I ask?
Since Lu Ye came to Mount Fangcun, he had only seen him once. He did not know Lu Ye's background at all. The only thing he knew now was that Lu Ye's joining was brought about by Su Yuqing's great sacrifice.
When he noticed this at that time, he thought Su Yuqing was too hardworking.
But now it seemed that she had a unique insight. When he saw the Southern and Western Tribes joining forces, Chen Xuanhai knew that his side was in big trouble. They might even be last in this martial arts competition. But now it seemed that the key to turning the tables was this foreign aid.
Right now, it was not his side that was in big trouble, but the other two tribes!
Suddenly, the two groups of people from the Eastern Tribes rushed to the two camps.
The Southern Tribes had three spirit balls quietly placed on the platform, while the Western Tribes had two spirit balls, each of which was protected by a Spirit Array.
Although the Spirit Array set up by the Humanoid Tribe with the help of Spirit Talismans was not bad, a Spirit Array without anyone controlling it was ultimately a dead Spirit Array. The power it could exert was limited.
When the Eastern Tribes set up the Spirit Array, Lu Ye had carefully observed it. This kind of defense was actually not very effective. As long as there was a strong enough attack, the Spirit Array could be broken.
Not to mention, when it came to breaking Spirit Arrays … he had unique experience. As early as in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, the Core Circle's top Sects had been poisoned by this Spirit Array. That was how he gained the title of Sect Destroyer Ye.
At the two camps, the people from the Eastern Tribes, under the leadership of Lu Ye and his doppelganger, used their own methods to break the Spirit Arrays. Everyone was full of enthusiasm. The feeling of doing something sneaky was really exciting.
In just one incense stick's worth of time, the Spirit Arrays of the two camps were all broken.
Everyone found meteorites of suitable size and placed them behind the Spirit Orbs. Then, they laughed and laughed as they pushed the meteorites to move the Spirit Orbs.
Because the Spirit Orbs had the characteristic of not moving unless they were pushed, they had to rely on the meteorites to move the Spirit Orbs. This was to ensure that the Spirit Orbs would continue to move after the Eastern Tribes retreated.
For safety's sake, the three Spirit Orbs in the Southern Tribes and the two Spirit Orbs in the Western Tribes were pushed in different directions.
As a result, if the Southern Tribes and the Western Tribes wanted to retrieve the Spirit Orbs, they would have to waste a lot of time.
Lu Ye had never thought of robbing the Spirit Orbs of the two Tribes. It was unrealistic because once he made a move, the two Tribes would definitely react quickly and come back to help. Now that the Eastern Tribes had split into two groups, they would not be a match for either of them.
Lu Ye's goal from the beginning was the ninth Spirit Orb!
That was when the Spirit Orbs of the two Tribes began to move.
The cultivators of the other two Tribes who were transporting the Spirit Orbs to the Western Tribes were startled.
Duan Xiuchen frowned and said, "Brother Ye, I don't know if I'm wrong, but why do I feel like my Spirit Orbs are moving?"
Ye Chaoqun's expression was solemn. "I have the same feeling!"
Looking at the others, they all nodded in agreement.
"This is bad, it must be the Eastern Tribes!" Duan Xiuchen turned pale with fright. Just now, he had been searching for traces of the Eastern Tribes with Ye Chaoqun, but ever since Lu Ye disappeared, the Eastern Tribes had not appeared. They had thought that the Eastern Tribes knew that they were no match for the Eastern Tribes and had accepted their fate and returned to the Eastern Tribes. But now, it seemed that the Eastern Tribes had actually gone to steal from them.
For a moment, they couldn't understand how they had done it. Only a few dozen breaths had passed since the Eastern Tribes had disappeared.
How could the Eastern Tribes have such a method to travel such a long distance in such a short time?
Realizing that the Eastern Tribes were in a bad situation, Duan Xiuchen decisively shouted, "Return to help, quickly return to help!"
Hearing this, the Southern Tribes cultivators immediately turned around and flew back to their Tribes' Camps.
Duan Xiuchen shouted again, "Idiots, all of you die!"
This place was so far away from their Tribes' Camps. If they really wanted to fly back, it would be too late. If they wanted to return to their Tribes' Camps as soon as possible, they would have to die. As for the spiritual power consumed by rebirth, at a time like this, who would care about such minor details?
Everyone seemed to have woken up from a dream and used their methods to kill themselves on the spot.
In the blink of an eye, the nine Southern Tribes cultivators had died cleanly.
