Ma Shangsi didn't disturb Lu Ye and only stood guard beside him.
Everything in the Blood Sea was under his perception, so he was very clear about the changes in the Stone Clan. He was very shocked by the magic of his Holy Master's methods.
However, he couldn't understand the situation in front of him.
"What's going on?" Ma Shangsi asked.
The Stone Clan had been reversed, so it didn't make sense for the Filth Clan to die. If there was a difference between the two, it would be the difference in their minds.
From the Filth Clan he had met so far, they were divided into two types. One was those who didn't have a mind and only acted on instinct, and the other was those who still had a mind.
Most of the Filth Clan belonged to the former type, and the latter was only a small portion. The former was basically driven by the latter.
The Stone Clan was the type that still had a mind, while the dead Filth Clan member was the type that didn't have a mind.
Lu Ye guessed that this was the reason why the two Filth clansmen had different fates after being burned by him.
"Don't waste your energy on these Filth Clan members. Their minds have been obliterated by the filth and have been completely replaced by filth. So even if you save them, they will only leave behind a shell!" The Stone Clan member who was saved by Lu Ye just now walked over and looked at the dead Filth Clan member in front of him with a sense of sadness.
Lu Ye understood and turned to look at him. "So only the Filth Clan members who still have a mind can be saved?"
Just like the Stone Clan member in front of him, he still had a mind of his own after being eroded by the filth for so many years. That was why there was a possibility of saving him.
"I can only say that there is a chance!" The Stone Clan member nodded.
Lu Ye immediately knew what to do. He looked at the Stone Clan member and said, "Do you still have the strength to fight?"
The Stone Clan member's injuries weren't serious. His skin was rough and his flesh was thick, so he looked terrible. In fact, they were only minor injuries that couldn't be healed due to the obstruction of the Fang power. Now that they were no longer enemies, Lu Ye dispelled the Fang power on his wounds and he would recover soon.
His problem was that his Divine Soul was unstable. The method used by the Soul Clan member who possessed Lu Ye's body had a great impact on the Stone Clan member's Divine Soul, so he looked a little dispirited at the moment.
"Although I'm not at the peak, it's not that easy to die." The Stone Clan member replied in a muffled voice.
Lu Ye nodded and turned to look at Ma Shangsi.
The latter understood tacitly and drove the sea of blood towards the nearest battlefield.
At this moment, almost all of the Yue Yao of the Jade Conches were outnumbered, but the battle was still evenly matched. After being possessed by the Soul Tribe, the Yue Yao of the Jade Conches experienced the feeling of their strength skyrocketing.
The only problem was the erosion of the power of filth, so they couldn't fight for a long time. They could only think of ways to create an opening as soon as possible.
However, before they could succeed, they saw the sea of blood spreading toward them. When they thought of the two Moon Jade late-stage auras that had withered away, how could they not know that Lu Ye and his servant had made another breakthrough?
The situation was almost exactly the same as last time. Even the Yue Yao from Jade Conch felt embarrassed.
The rest of the battle was simple. Wherever Ma Shangsi's sea of blood spread, death would follow. Originally, when he and Lu Ye worked together, Yue Yao of the Filth Race would find it difficult to resist. Now that Yue Yao was a late-stage Stone Race cultivator, they naturally had an easier time breaking through the situation.
The Defilements were killed one by one, and their advantage was gradually increasing.
Lu Ye set his eyes on another Defilement Race cultivator. This was a human. Lu Ye didn't know which realm he came from, but he was also a weapon cultivator just like Lu Ye.
The reason why Lu Ye had set his eyes on him was because, like the Stone Race cultivator, he was one of the rare few who still had a sense of reason.
According to the Stone Race cultivator, the Defilements who had no sense of reason had their wills erased by the power of filth. Thus, even if Lu Ye burned away the filth in their bodies, he wouldn't be able to save them.
However, this human was different. As long as he burned away the filth in his body, he would be able to return to his original state.
That was what Lu Ye thought. However, the final result was completely different from what he had expected.
With Ma Shangsi's help, he completely burned away the filth in this human weapon cultivator's body. However, the human still died!
Lu Ye was a little confused as to what was going on...
The battle drew to a close. After a short while, the final Yue Yao of the Defilements was killed. Although there were still many low-level Defilements left in the domain of filth, these small fries naturally posed no threat to Lu Ye's group.
Just as Lu Ye and the others were about to deal with these Defilements, the void suddenly trembled.
Everyone was bewildered. When they looked in the direction of the disturbance, they discovered that the insect path was rapidly shrinking!
A Yue Yao cried out in surprise, "The Defilements are retreating!"
The disappearance of the insect path was undoubtedly a clear indication of the Defilements' attitude. They had sent two batches of about thirty-four Yue Yao to this place, but all of them had been killed. The Jade Conch Galaxy had demonstrated enough ability to protect itself.
Unless the Defilements forcibly activated the power of the Heavenly Frost Mirror to stabilize the insect path and allow sunlight to descend, there was no way they could conquer the Jade Conch Galaxy.
Before they realized that there were enough benefits to be gained here, the Defilements wouldn't do so easily. This was because if they did, they would have to pay a huge price.
A few dozen Yue Yao was a considerable force anywhere, but to the Defilements, it was nothing. Thus, they were willing to bear such losses. This was the fundamental reason why they were willing to retreat.
Simply put, this kind of conquering method had always been used by the Defilements. The Jade Conch Galaxy was not the first galaxy they had encountered setbacks in, and it definitely wouldn't be the last.
Not every battlefield opened by the Defilements ended in victory. This kind of failure was nothing to them.
The Yue Yao were overjoyed. Around the Defilement Domain, the Constellations were also cheering. Their tense nerves finally relaxed after more than a month.
Lu Ye also let out a long sigh of relief.
If the Defilements still didn't retreat, it would be troublesome. As long as the insect path was here, he couldn't leave. Fortunately, the current outcome was not bad.
There was no need to worry about the Defilements coming back. The Heavenly Frost Mirror's location was random. After experiencing this once, it was basically impossible for the Jade Conch Galaxy to experience it again in a short period of time. Unless their luck was particularly bad, they could only blame it on their bad luck.
In less than half an hour, the huge insect path completely disappeared, leaving behind only the Defilement Domain.
The low-level Defilements in the domain were all killed by the Yue Yao. Everyone retreated, leaving Lu Ye alone to purify the area.
Lu Ye busied himself for a while, purifying all the filth here before returning.
The group of Jade Conch Yue Yao led by Chou Wu bowed in unison and thanked Lu Ye.
Everyone knew that if it weren't for Lu Ye, the Jade Conch Galaxy wouldn't have had a good ending.
In the first battle, Lu Ye and his servant played a crucial role in killing all the Yue Yao of the Defilements.
In the second battle, Lu Ye brought a group of Soul Tribe reinforcements. Otherwise, the Yue Yao of the Jade Conch Galaxy alone wouldn't have been a match.
Moreover, Lu Ye used miraculous methods to purify the Defilement Domain in both battles. This undoubtedly resolved the hidden danger completely.
Although Lu Ye was also from the Jade Conch Galaxy, this location was too close to the Jade Conch Galaxy. When the Defilements invaded, the Jade Conch Galaxy would bear the brunt.
"You're too kind, Sector Lord Chou. I'm also a cultivator of this galaxy. It's my duty to protect my home. Of course, if you really want to thank me, give me a fire-type treasure. Purifying the filth will consume a lot of energy."
Chou Wu hurriedly took out two storage rings. "Everything is ready."
Lu Ye had ordered the Jade Conch Galaxy to collect fire-type treasures before he left. The Jade Conch Galaxy naturally didn't dare to neglect and immediately began collecting them with the power of the entire Jade Conch Galaxy. Originally, Lu Ye wanted to give them to him when he returned, but the battle was about to begin, so he didn't have time.
Lu Ye happily took the two storage rings and scanned them with his Divine Sense. He knew that the Talent Tree fuel he consumed this time could be replenished, and he even made some profit.
On the other side, Xu Yuan was asking the Stone Tribe about some things. He wanted to find out more about the Defilements, such as the location of the Defilements.
Unfortunately, although the Stone Tribe was rescued by Lu Ye, he didn't know much about the Defilements because he didn't know the exact location of the Defilements. Back then, after he was corroded by the filth and turned into a Defilement, he entered the Defilements through the insect path. Although he participated in many wars, he entered and exited through the insect path, so he really didn't know the exact location of the Defilements.
However, according to him, the Defilements had as many experts as there were clouds. There were plenty of sunshine and countless Yue Yao, so the death of a few dozen Yue Yao was nothing to the Defilements.
Moreover, a Defilement like him couldn't be considered a true Defilement. There were naturally pure Defilements in the Defilements. There weren't many of them, but each of them was extremely powerful. Even he had never seen a pure Defilement before.
After chatting for a while, the information he obtained from the Stone Tribe was very limited. Xu Yuan felt rather helpless.
He pondered for a moment and beckoned to Lu Ye.
Lu Ye hurriedly walked forward. "Elder, what are your orders?"
Xu Yuan waved his hand and isolated the surroundings with pure Divine Sense power. He stared at Lu Ye for a while and hesitated before saying, "That Ma Shangsi, is he a Blood Race member?"
Ma Shangsi had no flaws when he transformed into a human, so even Xu Yuan couldn't see any clues. However, the Soul Race had Yue Yao use a soul possession technique on Ma Shangsi, so they vaguely saw through Ma Shangsi's background and reported this matter to Xu Yuan.
Lu Ye didn't hide anything and nodded. "Yes, he is a Blood Race member."
Xu Yuan frowned. "Little friend, your future is boundless. The Blood Race's reputation isn't very good, so it's best if you don't get too involved with them."
He didn't ask why Lu Ye was so close to a Blood Race member. Everyone had their own experiences and secrets, but as an elder, Xu Yuan still had to remind Lu Ye.
Sensing Xu Yuan's concern, Lu Ye said, "Elder, don't worry, I know what to do."
