After Lu Ye learned that Sacred Blood Peak had dispatched troops to Black Prison Cliff, he immediately left with Xiang Yin and the others.
It wasn't that he was afraid. According to the information he received, Sacred Blood Peak had dispatched over twenty Yue Yao cultivators to deal with Black Prison Cliff.
Their numbers were much greater than his side, but if they really fought, Sacred Blood Peak's side would be the ones to suffer. After all, the suppression of Sacred Blood Peak's holy nature was something these first-generation Blood Race cultivators couldn't ignore. Not to mention himself, even Xiang Yin and the others had far more Sacred Blood Peak's holy nature than their enemies.
Even so, Lu Ye wasn't confident he could exterminate these invaders! After all, they were all Yue Yao cultivators, so who knew what kind of mysterious methods they had?
Once his own information was exposed, it would definitely attract Blazing Heaven's attention, which would be detrimental to his next plan. If things went wrong, Blazing Heaven might personally take action.
He planned to keep his Sacred Blood Peak's holy nature a secret before fighting Blazing Heaven. Only then would he be able to catch Blazing Heaven off guard.
Although Sacred Blood Peak knew that his Sacred Blood Peak's holy nature was very strong due to Xiang Yin's tip-off, they didn't know how strong it was because they hadn't truly felt it and couldn't imagine it.
Lu Ye didn't want to fight Blazing Heaven at this time because even if he defeated him with his Sacred Blood Peak, he wouldn't be able to exterminate him.
The battle for Black Abyss half a year later was a very good choice. Black Abyss was the battlefield he had chosen.
Due to these considerations, Lu Ye decided to abandon Black Prison Cliff and bring his subordinates away. He also wanted to sell a favor to the Red Talisman Society and let them know that he was someone they could cooperate with.
Rizhao was undoubtedly very strong, but before they fought, Lu Ye didn't know if he was Blazing Heaven's match. If he could cooperate with the Red Talisman Society, it would undoubtedly increase his chances of winning.
The sea of blood surged forward, enveloping all the cultivators on his side. Lu Ye quickly received a message from Hu Dequan. There was nothing else in the message other than a place to hide.
The Red Talisman Society had been fighting a battle of wits and courage with Sacred Blood Peak for many years. Even though their strength was far inferior, they had never been exterminated because they relied on their ability to hide.
It could be said that the Red Talisman Association possessed countless concealed strongholds in this world, and Hu Dequan had revealed one of them to Lu Ye. On one hand, it was to repay Lu Ye's kindness and to thank Lu Ye for the information he provided earlier, and on the other hand, he was probably probing Lu Ye.
Lu Ye kept saying that he was someone he could cooperate with. Since that was the case, then he should give him a place to hide. If he dared to go, then there was no doubt that he was sincere in cooperating. If he didn't dare to go, then he must be hiding something.
There was nothing Lu Ye didn't dare to do …
He was worried about where to hide, so he immediately sent a message of thanks and led his men to the location of the stronghold.
The haze in the sky gradually thinned, and the blood moon showed signs of appearing.
At the same time, the cultivators of the Red Talisman Association were retreating hastily. Even though they didn't know if the information provided by Lu Ye was reliable, they would rather believe it than not. Especially when Lu Ye had already found the base.
Of course, after retreating, Hu Dequan and the others still hid in the distance to investigate the situation.
Two days later, a large number of cultivators from the Saint Blood Mountain found this place and began to bombard it without any explanation.
Hu Dequan and the others' eyelids twitched as they secretly rejoiced at Lu Ye's warning. Otherwise, even if the Red Talisman Association wasn't destroyed this time, it would suffer heavy losses. When the Battle of Black Abyss began half a year later, they would no longer have the ability to resist.
At this time, Lu Ye was in a mountain valley, looking up at the blood moon and prying into its mysteries.
Since coming to the Inner World, Lu Ye had been condensing his own blood except when the blood moon was in the sky.
So far, this was already the third time the blood moon had appeared in the sky. The progress of the Blood Eye Spirit Rune was pretty good, and Lu Ye estimated that he should be able to complete it after two more times.
According to the pattern of the blood moon's appearance, he would definitely have two chances in half a year. Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility of an accident.
But Lu Ye couldn't do anything about it. He couldn't control the timing of the blood moon's appearance, so he could only wait.
For the next period of time, the Red Talisman Association would be completely dormant.
With their base destroyed, they would lose the spirit plants they had painstakingly cultivated. From now on, they would no longer have any resources they could use. Although Lu Ye had given them a batch of spirit plants before, they wouldn't be able to last for long.
Therefore, the Red Talisman Association felt very anxious and decided to fight the Saint Blood Mountain in the next Battle of Black Abyss. If they missed this opportunity, the Red Talisman Association's situation would become more and more difficult in the future.
Because of this, the Red Talisman Association began to take the initiative to contact Lu Ye more frequently.
Because from the past, they could determine Lu Ye's position against the Saint Blood Mountain. Coupled with the fact that time waited for no man, they had no other choice but to join forces with Lu Ye.
This was undoubtedly Lu Ye's wish.
After coming to this world, he initially wanted to integrate into the Red Talisman Association and fight the Saint Blood Mountain together with them, but because of some twists and turns, he didn't get to do so.
He understood the choice of Hu Dequan and the others at that time and didn't feel resentful because he couldn't explain the secret of the Talent Tree to others.
Although the process was a little complicated, the result could be considered to be satisfactory.
Looking at it this way, his method of gathering the rogue cultivators was correct because without this force, the Red Talisman Association might not have paid attention to him.
The greatest harvest Lu Ye obtained from the Red Talisman Association was all kinds of information about the Battle of Black Abyss. The more he learned about this matter, the more certain he was that choosing to fight Blazing Heaven in the Black Abyss was a wise decision.
In the secret area of the stronghold, Lu Ye was condensing his own Treasure Blood when a sound talisman suddenly vibrated. He took it out to investigate, thinking that it was Hu Dequan who had contacted him. Recently, their relationship could be said to be growing day by day. After discarding the inherent concept of rejection, Hu Dequan found that Lu Ye was worthy of a deep friendship, so he would often send him a message to discuss some matters.
Currently, the relationship between the two parties was very close. They were just short of staying together. However, there would still be occasional interactions between the two parties. They got along very well.
But after investigating the sound talisman, Lu Ye discovered that the one who contacted him was not Hu Dequan, but Ghost Cultivator Zhou Tianbao!
"Sir, I've been exposed. This subordinate will fight to the death. In addition, please be careful. Blazing Heaven has been in seclusion cultivating a Secret Technique and seems to have reached the Minor Accomplishment stage!"
After checking the information in the sound talisman, Lu Ye lowered his eyes slightly.
He had expected that Zhou Tianbao would be exposed.
Ever since he gathered many rogue cultivators, he began to target Sacred Blood Peak and destroyed several squads that went out to carry out missions. Before this, Sacred Blood Peak's encirclement of the Red Talisman Association and Black Prison Cliff had failed.
As long as the cultivators of Sacred Blood Peak weren't fools, they would definitely be able to guess that there was a problem within their stronghold. Otherwise, the enemy wouldn't have moved in advance.
After realizing that there was a problem within their stronghold, Sacred Blood Peak would inevitably investigate. Once such a situation occurred, Zhou Tianbao would be exposed sooner or later.
This was because during this period of time, all the information about Sacred Blood Peak had been leaked by him. If Sacred Blood Peak followed the clues, there was no way Zhou Tianbao would be able to escape.
Lu Ye had previously asked him to inquire about Blazing Heaven's situation because there was something he was very concerned about. Recently, Blazing Heaven had been doing something and hadn't shown himself. Even when the Red Talisman Association's stronghold was targeted, Blazing Heaven still hadn't appeared.
Zhou Tianbao had clearly discovered something. It could even be said that Blazing Heaven's Secret Technique had reached the Minor Accomplishment stage that allowed him to discover Zhou Tianbao's betrayal.
Secret Technique … Lu Ye immediately thought of the Blood Eye Spirit Rune.
When the Blood Moon was in the sky, the Spirit Rune hidden within the Blood Moon wasn't a secret. If he could pry into it, other cultivators would naturally be able to pry into it as well. The cultivators of the Red Talisman Association had once studied the Blood Moon and faintly felt that the Spirit Rune hidden within the strange Blood Moon was related to a Secret Technique. However, they couldn't find a way to enter it and could only helplessly give up.
As for observing the Spirit Rune itself … the Blood Eye Spirit Rune was simply too complicated. No matter how outstanding a Spirit Rune Master was, it was impossible to completely construct this Spirit Rune.
If it weren't for Lu Ye's Talent Tree, he wouldn't have wasted this time.
The Battle of the Black Abyss in the new world was about to begin, and Blazing Heaven's Secret Technique had reached the Minor Accomplishment stage. This wasn't good news.
When Lu Ye tried to contact Zhou Tianbao again, the sound talisman couldn't be transmitted. This undoubtedly meant that Zhou Tianbao was dead.
Moreover, through the perception of his own Sacred Blood, Lu Ye couldn't detect any traces of Zhou Tianbao, the Blood Warrior.
It was a pity …
Lu Ye had also thought about whether or not he should let Zhou Tianbao leave Sacred Blood Peak in advance, but in the end, he didn't do so. This was because Zhou Tianbao wasn't the only spy he had planted in Sacred Blood Peak!
Every time Xiang Yin and the others went out to carry out a mission, he would give them a jade box so they could use it at their discretion. Sealed in that jade box was none other than the Blood Treasure he had painstakingly condensed!
Zhou Tianbao had to die. Only with his death could Sacred Blood Peak relax their vigilance and protect the other spies.
After pondering for a moment, Lu Ye sent a message to Hu Dequan, informing him that Blazing Heaven had come out of seclusion.
The Red Talisman Association and its people needed to lay low even more thoroughly. After Blazing Heaven came out of seclusion, he would definitely make a move. Once he found any clues, there would inevitably be many casualties.
All of this was to accumulate strength for the final Battle of the Black Abyss.
Lu Ye had distributed a large number of resources just so that the cultivators of the Red Talisman Association could maintain their strongest strength at all times.
Half a year passed by in a flash.
In a secret room of the stronghold, Lu Ye sat cross-legged with his eyes closed. His Divine Sense constantly surged like a tide.
Under his inner vision, the leaves of the Talent Tree were burning fiercely. Some of the leaves that were originally blank were now densely packed with Yin and Yang elements that were intertwined with each other. As his spiritual sense surged, even more Yin and Yang elements began to spread out in all directions.
Lu Ye was currently inscribing Blood Eye Spirit Runes on the Talent Tree.
After observing the blood moon for the third time half a year ago, he had waited for another two months before the blood moon appeared again. Lu Ye still hadn't been able to observe it completely.
After waiting for several more months, it wasn't until a few days ago that he was able to observe the blood moon for the last time!
