Hao Ren slowly got up and bravely took out some beast meat from his storage bag.
Basically, every cultivator would have some food in their storage bag, mainly to be prepared.
He raised the beast meat and threw it at Ying Jiao.
Ying Jiao was indifferent.
He threw a few more pieces, but there was still no reaction.
"It's useless, Brother Yi Ye …" Sweat dripped from Hao Ren's forehead.
Lu Ye exhaled softly and said, "Brother Hao, you guys go first. It's staring at me and probably won't pay attention to you."
"Then what about you?"
"I have my own way of escaping."
Hao Ren hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "Then be careful, Brother Yi Ye."
Saying so, he signaled Hao Qing with his eyes, and the brother and sister pair tiptoed backwards.
As expected, Ying Jiao did not pay any attention to them. He did not even look at them. This made the siblings feel both aggrieved and inexplicably fortunate.
After retreating a hundred feet, the brother and sister suddenly merged into the darkness.
At this moment, Lu Ye was thinking about a question, and that was, what did Ying Jiao see in him?
According to Hao Ren, the brother and sister had been here several times, but they had never seen Ying Jiao. But the first time he came, he was actually targeted by it.
Something was very wrong.
Lu Ye recalled what he had done before, then he raised his hand and grabbed Hu Po, who was lying on his lap, and lifted it to his side.
Ying Jiao's eyes also moved.
Lu Ye lifted Hu Po to the other side.
Ying Jiao's eyes moved again.
He was sure that Ying Jiao wasn't targeting him, but Hu Po. But because Hu Po was with him, and Ying Jiao's eyes were so huge, there was no way to accurately judge just now, leading Lu Ye to think that he was being targeted.
Hu Po was a demon beast, which might be the reason why Ying Jiao was targeting it, but Lu Ye felt that the bigger reason was the blood Qi in the scales.
If it was only because of Hu Po, the Winged Serpent would have appeared when Lu Ye and the others arrived. In fact, it had only appeared after Hu Po had devoured the blood energy in the scale armor. In other words, it had been drawn out by the scale armor that Lu Ye had taken out.
The scales looked like dragon scales, but also like snake scales. Ying Jiao's nature was a kind of snake demon, so the blood Qi in the scales must be very attractive to it.
However, whether or not this was the case still needed to be verified.
"Yiyi."
"Yes."
"Take the items and go underground!"
As Lu Ye spoke, he reached into his storage bag. In the next moment, he took out the scale armor and threw it to Yiyi. Then, spiritual energy surged around his body. A pair of fiery red wings spread out from his back, and he soared into the sky.
The moment Yiyi received the scale armor, she sank into the ground.
The Winged Serpent, which had been motionless all this time, suddenly moved. Almost at the same time that Lu Ye soared into the sky, the huge serpent's head slammed into the spot where Yi Yi had been. Dust flew everywhere, and a huge crater was immediately created in the ground. A powerful wave of Qi swept out, and Lu Ye's figure drifted away, quickly pulling away.
He flew up to a height of a thousand feet and looked down. He saw a huge creature bombarding the ground below, as if it wanted to find Yiyi who was hiding below.
Demonic Qi billowed, its momentum terrifying. Rumbling sounds rang out incessantly, shaking the earth and mountains with every strike. In just a short moment, a large crater with a radius of over a hundred feet and a depth of several feet appeared where Yiyi was originally standing.
As expected, it was because of the scale armor! When Lu Ye saw this, how could he not know that his previous guess was correct?
Regardless of whether the scale armor was dragon or snake, it would definitely be of great use to the Winged Serpent. Otherwise, there was no reason for it to be drawn out.
A Demonic beast like the Winged Serpent had already reached the limit of what the Spirit Stream Battlefield could contain. Normally, it would rest at the bottom of the lake, and would not show its head because it no longer had any room to grow. To put it nicely, it was truly lonely to be invincible. To be more realistic, it was just eating and waiting for death.
But if it could get its hands on the scale armor, the situation would be different. The reason it was called a Winged Serpent was because it was only one step away from becoming a Flood Dragon. Its instincts told it that if it could get its hands on the scale armor, it could become a Flood Dragon! That way, it would be able to break through the seal of Heaven's Secret and escape the cage that bound it.
Not too far away, the Hao siblings, who had already escaped from the lake, couldn't help but gulp as they watched the commotion.
They didn't know how Lu Ye had provoked the Winged Serpent to make it so angry.
Fortunately, Lu Ye's figure was very obvious, so they didn't need to worry about his safety.
High in the sky, Lu Ye looked down. He didn't need to worry about Yiyi. If she escaped underground, no matter how strong the Winged Serpent was, it couldn't do anything to her unless it also had the ability to escape underground.
Now, he just needed to find a way to shake the Winged Serpent off.
If he wanted to shake off the Winged Serpent, it would be simple. This Demonic Beast could sense the Blood Qi in the scale armor, so he just needed to isolate the scale armor and prevent it from sensing him.
In short, put it into his storage pouch! This was the fastest and most effective method. Lu Ye raised his hand and tapped on his battlefield imprint to send a message to Yiyi.
Following his instructions, she put the scale armor into her storage pouch.
The Winged Serpent, who was constantly bombarding the ground, immediately went crazy, and its momentum became even more frightening.
After struggling for a while, it could no longer sense the aura of the scale armor. Only then did the Winged Serpent resentfully turn around and swim back to the lake. The serpent's forked tongue constantly flickered in and out of its mouth, and the Demonic Qi roiling around its body showed that its heart was not calm.
Seeing that the Winged Serpent was about to re-enter the lake, Lu Ye suddenly thought of something. If he lured this Demonic Beast to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment … what would happen?
This was probably an existence on the same level as Xiao Hui. If it was possible, then the Sky Pillar Sect's cultivators would definitely be moved to tears.
Lu Ye had come to the Inner Circle to temper himself and take revenge for the battle of Golden Light Peak. He originally planned to kill as many Sky Pillar Sect cultivators as possible while ensuring his own safety.
But now, it seemed that his ambition could be even greater?
The premise was that he could lure the Winged Serpent over.
"Yiyi, take it out and run!" Lu Ye sent a message to Yiyi.
"Okay." Yiyi didn't ask any further and took out the scale armor from her storage pouch.
At the lakeside, the Winged Serpent, who was just about to enter the water, immediately sensed something. It straightened its body and quickly rushed in a certain direction. Its body was nearly sixty meters long, but its speed was extremely fast. Conservatively speaking, even if Hu Po ran at full speed, he wouldn't be able to outrun it.
The Winged Serpent was chasing in the direction that Yiyi had fled in. It seemed that it could indeed sense the direction of the Blood Qi in the scale armor.
This kind of unreasonable Demonic Beast's perception was indeed very sharp.
Moreover, it was too fast for Yiyi to shake it off.
An hour later, the Winged Serpent stopped and once again bombarded the ground. This time, Yiyi was continuously going deeper into the ground under Lu Ye's instructions.
The reason for this was because Yiyi's speed wasn't as fast as the Winged Serpent. Lu Ye wanted to use this opportunity to test how far the Winged Serpent could sense the scale armor.
There was a limit to Yiyi's ability to escape underground. The deeper she went, the more serious the interference underground would be. The omnipresent force field was similar to the magnetic force field that pervaded the Origin Magnetic Ore. They both had the effect of confining spiritual power. Therefore, the deeper Yiyi went, the weaker her strength would be. Once all of her spiritual power was confined, she would be forever trapped underground.
Three hundred meters was Yiyi's limit. At that distance, Yiyi's spiritual power would be suppressed by more than half. It would be very dangerous to go any deeper, especially for a spiritual body like hers.
A moment later, Yiyi sent a message: "How is it?"
"It's done."
Even though Yiyi had already gone three hundred meters, the Winged Serpent still didn't give up. It had already created a hole more than thirty meters deep in the ground where Yiyi was.
At this speed, if Yiyi didn't move, the Winged Serpent would be able to dig her out in less than two hours.
"Keep running. I'll point you in the right direction," Lu Ye sent another message.
"Okay."
Soon, under Yiyi's lead, the Winged Serpent began to move. Everywhere it passed, trees fell, leaving clear crawl marks on the ground.
Lu Ye corrected Yiyi's direction. After confirming that it was correct, he lowered his body and retracted his wings. He then threw Hu Po, who had already recovered, on the ground.
The Hao siblings rushed over, both at a loss.
"Brother Yi Ye, what's the situation now? Where's Junior Sister Yiyi? "
Lu Ye flipped onto the tiger's back and said, "Yiyi is safe. The current situation … is hard to say. I can only say that the Sky Pillar Sect is probably out of luck."
"The Sky Pillar Sect is out of luck?" Hao Ren couldn't wrap his head around it for a moment, but when he glanced in the direction the Winged Serpent left, he immediately reacted. "The Winged Serpent is going to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, yes!"
"Why is the Winged Serpent going to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment?"
"It's probably because it's in a bad mood today and its killing intent is a bit heavy. Brother Hao, let's part ways here. "
After Lu Ye finished speaking, Hu Po chased in the direction the Winged Serpent left, leaving the Hao siblings at a loss.
The Winged Serpent would definitely be lured to the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment. This guy was now extremely thirsty for the blood Qi in the scale armor and wouldn't give up easily.
There were probably many cultivators gathered at the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment. After all, he and Hao Ren had just raided their mine and killed many people.
The sky was still dark. The people of the Sky Pillar Sect didn't dare to come out to investigate at this time, so they could only wait until dawn.
But they probably didn't expect that after waiting for so long, the Winged Serpent would appear!
Hundreds of cultivators gathered, filled with murderous intent, waiting for the Winged Serpent to attack. What else could be said? The situation would definitely become very lively.
Lu Ye didn't know if the Winged Serpent's ability could break through the Sky Pillar Sect's defensive array. He was the one who stirred up this muddy water, so he naturally had to join in the fun.
Although the Hao siblings' cultivation was higher than him by a Minor Realm, two Eighth Order Ghost Cultivators wouldn't be able to protect themselves in such a chaotic situation, so Lu Ye didn't plan to invite the Hao siblings.
Parting here was the best choice. In the end, they were just strangers who had met by chance.
If the Winged Serpent couldn't break through the Sky Pillar Sect's encampment's defensive array, then it was fine. As long as the two sides clashed, the Sky Pillar Sect's people would suffer casualties. In any case, Lu Ye didn't mind watching the show, so there wouldn't be any losses.
