They all scattered like birds and beasts, and a cultivator shouted, "Everyone, let's work together to deal with it. Otherwise, we won't be able to fight at all!"
Although there weren't many cultivators present, there were still over a hundred of them. If they could really work together, a single starship would be enough to deal with it. This was because in terms of specifications, this starship wasn't the particularly strong kind. Among all the starships, it should only be at the bottom.
But as soon as that person's voice fell, the starship's light spread across hundreds of miles, enveloping him and his companions. When the light dissipated, the several figures had all turned into nothingness.
This was undoubtedly the starship's pilot killing the chicken to warn the monkey. They also knew that they couldn't let this group of people really work together, so whoever dared to jump around would be killed first!
As a result, no one dared to speak carelessly anymore.
Lu Ye led the four women and fled into the distance, not even looking back.
Although the team had been basically invincible since they started using the formation plate, Lu Ye wasn't arrogant enough to think that he would collide with a starship. The size of the two sides weren't on the same level, so there was no need or possibility for them to collide at all.
As for the outcome of the battle royale, he actually didn't care very much, because along the way, he had already gained enough. Even if he really encountered a strong enemy and was eliminated, he wouldn't have any regrets.
Moreover, his main goal in this battle royale was to display the Twin Spirit Connected Formation Plate. Although he didn't know how many pairs of eyes were watching him from outside, it definitely wouldn't be too few.
The most important goal had already been achieved, and everything else was just minor details.
After flying away from the previous battlefield, Cai Yue didn't go far when she transmitted her voice, "Senior Brother Fa, someone is following us!"
Lu Ye had long discovered it, because the people following them didn't have any intention of hiding their tracks at all.
It was the three-person team that had performed extremely well on the battlefield just now!
Lu Ye didn't know what they wanted to do, but looking at the posture of these three people, it didn't seem like they were looking for trouble. Of course, he wasn't afraid of them looking for trouble. These three people were indeed very strong, and Lu Ye reckoned that they were all on the rankings. Along the way, he hadn't seen anyone more powerful than these three people.
But his side wasn't weak, either. If they really fought, it was obvious who would win and who would lose.
Since he wasn't here to look for trouble, he should have something else to do.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye led the group to a floating continent hovering in the starry sky. He stood still, maintained the Black Tortoise Formation, and turned around to look back.
Sure enough, the three people flew over. It was a small team of three, two men and one woman. They didn't look too old.
The three of them landed not far away from Lu Ye's group. The leader sized up Lu Ye from head to toe before cupping his fists, "Zhou Yuchuan!"
Sure enough, he had left his name on the rankings. If he remembered correctly, his ranking was still very high, and he had always maintained his position within the top 20. Those who chose their real names like this generally came from extraordinary backgrounds. They did not need to use aliases to conceal themselves. On the contrary, they could use their real names to make themselves famous, giving face to themselves and the forces behind them.
Lu Ye placed his hand on the hilt of his saber and calmly replied, "Fa Wu Zun!"
Zhou Yuchuan nodded slightly. "As expected!"
He had previously guessed that Lu Ye should also be on the rankings, but he couldn't be sure which one it was. After all, they had never fought before, nor had they met before. Only now did he know the details of Lu Ye's background.
"What do you want?" Lu Ye asked again.
Zhou Yuchuan grinned. "Are you interested in working together to take care of that starship?"
"You have a way to take care of that starship?" Lu Ye was curious. If it was something else, it would be fine, but if they could take care of the starship, it would be good for him too. Not to mention the points he could get, just the fact that they were all in the Chaos Assembly's battlefield meant that they couldn't avoid it forever. They would clash sooner or later.
Zhou Yuchuan said, "The rules of the Constellation Palace are quite balanced. They will try to arrange opponents of similar strength in the arena battles. Even if it's a group battle, the overall power of the teams won't be too different. How can the Chaos Assembly be an exception? Since the starship has appeared, there must be something that can counter it! "
Lu Ye fell silent. He had to admit that Zhou Yuchuan's words made sense. He had been confused when he saw the starship. With such an unconventional weapon appearing, what was the point of the Chaos Assembly's cultivators fighting?
Now, it seemed that the treasure that could counter the starship had appeared long ago and was taken by Zhou Yuchuan's team. They had probably been waiting for the starship to appear.
However, it seemed that they didn't have enough people or power and needed Lu Ye's help.
"Let me have a look first," Lu Ye said.
Zhou Yuchuan didn't hide anything and directly took out a short spear. The short spear was covered with complicated patterns, and there were even lightning arcs dancing on the spear's body. As soon as the short spear appeared, it gave Lu Ye a great sense of danger.
He immediately understood that this thing must be very powerful!
However, just by looking at it, it looked like the annihilation lightning spear he had seen in the Nine States. That was the sect treasure of the Heaven Yuan Sect of the Military State.
He was certain that this short spear could definitely pose a threat to the starship. This was why Zhou Yuchuan dared to attack the starship.
"What do you need me to do?" Lu Ye asked.
Zhou Yuchuan said, "I want you guys to lead the starship to the ambush location. Then, we can activate the power of this short spear and destroy the starship."
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes. "That's not going to be easy!"
Luring the starship to the ambush location was easy to say, but not easy to do. Being chased by such a starship was like putting one's head on the line, and one's life could be in danger at any time.
Zhou Yuchuan said, "If it was easy, I wouldn't have come to you guys. To be honest, when we got this thing, we knew that a starship would definitely appear. We've been looking for suitable people to join forces with, but unfortunately, we haven't found anyone until we met you guys!"
Lu Ye and the others' cultivation wasn't high, but their performance in the previous battle was very impressive. What caught Zhou Yuchuan's attention the most was that they had formed a Black Tortoise Formation!
This formation was known for its defense, so Zhou Yuchuan and the others felt that this team was the best choice. There was no need to find anyone else.
If this team wasn't willing to join forces with them, then finding someone else would be suicide. They wouldn't be able to deal with the starship at all.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and asked, "How confident are we?"
Zhou Yuchuan smiled confidently. "This treasure can only be used in the battlefield of the Chaotic Meeting, and it's specially used to restrain the starship. So, as long as you can lead the starship here, you'll have at least 80% confidence, if not 100% confidence!"
"It's too risky!" Lu Ye said slowly.
Zhou Yuchuan said, "But if we can destroy the starship, we'll reap a lot of benefits as well. During the Battle Royale, each of your spoils will only be worth one point, but if we can destroy the starship, we'll each receive at least a hundred points even if we split the spoils evenly. Furthermore, if we can destroy the starship, there won't be anything that can pose a threat to our two teams."
"That's true, but we have to bear the risk after all. We can join forces … but we have to pay more!"
Zhou Yuchuan was slightly stunned. He didn't expect Lu Ye to put forward such a condition. Then he smiled and said, "My friend, name your price!"
Lu Ye looked at Xiao Dai and the others, and then raised two fingers. "20,000 spiritual jades per person!"
Behind Zhou Yuchuan, a companion who had been silent all the time said angrily, "Why don't you just rob us?"
Lu Ye said leisurely, "If you want us to bear the risk, you must show some sincerity! 20,000 spiritual jades per person is not much! Or we can trade. We'll activate the treasure, and you'll be responsible for leading the starship here. I'll give you 100,000 spiritual jades to share! "
That person said angrily, "The treasure is ours. Although you'll bear the risk, you're doing a business without any capital. We'll invest in this treasure."
Lu Ye nodded. "You're right. But this thing can only be used in the battlefield of the Chaotic Meeting. Except for dealing with the starship … it doesn't seem to have any other uses. This thing is very powerful, and I'm afraid it will cost a lot to use it. You can't use it to deal with practitioners."
That person still wanted to argue, but Zhou Yuchuan raised his hand and said, "My friend, 10,000 spiritual jades per person. Although the three of us have good backgrounds, 10,000 spiritual jades is a lot. We can't afford more. In fact, we don't even have 50,000 spiritual jades. We can only use treasures as collateral!"
"You're so poor?" Lu Ye looked at them in surprise. He thought the three of them had good backgrounds and wouldn't lack spiritual jades. How come they were not as rich as him? He still had a lot of spiritual jades with him.
Zhou Yuchuan looked a little embarrassed. "My friend, what are you talking about? Who doesn't use spiritual jades? Except for those who do business, no one has too many spiritual jades with them."
That was true. Lu Ye nodded and said, "Then it's settled."
It wasn't really necessary to ask for 20,000 spiritual jades. But as he said, they had to bear the risk, so there had to be some compensation. Otherwise, it would seem too cheap.
After the two sides agreed, Zhou Yuchuan and the other two began to work.
They gathered some spiritual jades and took out a few spiritual treasures as collateral. Lu Ye took them all.
Dumbo and the others had no objection. Basically, all the spoils so far were with Lu Ye.
Zhou Yuchuan looked around and pointed to a dead star next to him. "Let's choose there. My friend, you only need to find a way to lead the starship there and enter from this angle. Leave the rest to us!"
"One last question." Lu Ye looked at Zhou Yuchuan.
"My friend, please!"
"Since there are three of you, why don't you assign one of you to do this? Instead, you ask for help from outsiders?"
Zhou Yuchuan laughed. "This spear is very powerful. It needs the three of us to work together to activate it. Where can we find extra hands?"
"Understood." Lu Ye nodded. "You can start now."
"My friend, be careful!" Zhou Yuchuan warned and led his two companions to fly to the dead star.
