Lu Ye hadn't been running away all this time. On the way, he had tried to kill Chu Qing, but it turned out that the woman in the red dress had a high cultivation. She hadn't done anything to him, but since they had joined the search for the cat, they were in the same boat. He couldn't do anything to Chu Qing and the others.
He couldn't do anything, but Yi Yi could!
This might be because Yi Yi was hiding in Hu Po's body, or because Yi Yi was a spirit.
If Yi Yi could do it, so could the Nightmare Spirits.
So, although it seemed like he and Giant Armor were surrounded, Lu Ye was actually preparing to counterattack. Otherwise, he wouldn't have stopped here.
Chu Qing could find others to kill Lu Ye, but Lu Ye didn't need to. He had a group of helpers around him, but they were all hidden in Hu Po's body.
The previous battle had reduced the number of Nightmare Spirits, but the remaining ones were all elites. Liu Sanbao and the pipa woman, the two special Nightmare Spirits, didn't need to be mentioned. The others were all captains.
This move was indeed effective.
The Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators who were attacked instinctively began to counterattack. The remaining dozen or so Nightmare Spirits, even if they were elites, couldn't withstand the torment of so many cultivators. It would probably only take one round of siege to destroy all the Nightmare Spirits, including Yi Yi.
Just as the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators attacked, Hu Po sucked in the direction of the Nightmare Spirits. All of them turned into specks of light and were sucked into his stomach.
At the same time, Lu Ye leaped high and took the initiative to meet an attack. It was a Golden Arc Slash, and it was cast by a Ninth Order cultivator. Its power wasn't weak.
He wanted to try something.
However, as soon as he jumped up, he realized that what he did was a little unnecessary. That was because Giant Armor suddenly hugged Hu Po in its arms, then bent its body and exposed its back. The spells and Imperial Artifacts that were originally aimed at Hu Po and the Nightmare Spirits were directed at him.
"No!" Chu Qing seemed to have realized something and screamed in horror.
Some cultivators who reacted quickly quickly controlled their Techniques and Imperial Artifacts to fly past Giant Armor's body, missing him. Those who reacted slowly didn't have the ability to do so.
At least a dozen Techniques and Imperial Artifacts blasted Giant Armor's body, causing his back to clatter.
At the same time, the Golden Crescent Slash slashed at Lu Ye's chest, but it was blocked by a defensive spirit rune.
Lu Ye was knocked down. His feet hit the ground, and he slid back several feet before stabilizing himself.
He stood up straight, patted his chest, and looked towards the Ninth Order cultivator who had attacked.
The other party's expression gradually turned fearful …
The expressions of the dozen or so cultivators who had attacked the giant armor also began to panic.
His spirit energy suddenly became chaotic and violent, accompanied by a sizzling sound, as if a balloon had been punctured and deflated.
"Senior Sister Qing, save me!"
The Ninth Order cultivator being stared at by Lu Ye trembled as he reached out to Chu Qing.
"Ah!" Miserable screams rang out endlessly. The sound of air exploding came from the bodies of the dozen or so people.
Lu Ye's expression was solemn. His guess had been confirmed. However, as a fellow cat-hunter, the consequences of attacking a fellow cat-hunter were more serious than he had expected.
Even if he had never heard of the unique sound of a balloon leaking before, he knew what it was. …
It was the sound of a Spirit Aperture being broken!
Looking at the pained expressions of those people, it was clear that it wasn't just one Spirit Aperture being broken, but one after another.
This was the punishment from the woman in the red dress.
Everyone felt a chill run down their spines as they watched their cultivations slip from the Ninth Order to the Eighth Order, then to the Seventh Order … and then to their deaths.
Hu Po, who was protected in Giant Armor's arms, jumped out. Without needing Lu Ye's order, he opened his mouth and spat out all the Bi Spirits.
Chu Qing's eyes trembled violently as she shouted, "Run!"
Cries rang out again. Although the Myriad Demon Ridge side was prepared this time and the effect wasn't as good as before, it still affected them slightly. The Spirit Binding Chains flew out, followed by Liu Sanbao's dice and Yi Yi's spells.
The situation took a turn for the worse. The dozens of people who had surrounded Lu Ye and Giant Armor fled for their lives, as if there was a scourge behind them.
Chu Qing, who was leading the way, gritted her teeth so hard that they almost shattered.
The current situation was very unfavorable for them. Because of the woman in the red dress, they couldn't do anything to Lu Ye and Giant Armor, but Lu Ye could command the Immortal Essence Guardians to kill them. The feeling of being beaten without being able to fight back was terrible.
If that was all, it wouldn't be so bad. It was just a dozen or so Spirits, and the dozens of people from the Myriad Demon Ridge could easily destroy them. However, those Spirits could be swallowed into the stomach of Lu Ye's pet beast. Even if they only accidentally hurt Lu Ye and Giant Armor, they would still be punished by the woman in the red dress.
The consequences were too tragic, and no one was willing to try it.
They couldn't fight, and if they stayed, they would still be beaten. The only thing they could do was to run.
The dozens of people ran in front, and the Bi Spirits chased after them, occasionally casting Spirit Binding Chains. Lu Ye and Giant Armor were further behind, strolling leisurely.
Along the way, there were unlucky Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who were bound by the Spirit Binding Chains and killed.
The lineup of seventy to eighty people kept dwindling, and in less than half a day, more than half of them were gone. If this situation continued, as long as there was enough time, Chu Qing and the others wouldn't be able to escape death.
Giant Armor, who was following beside Lu Ye, was clearly dumbfounded. He couldn't understand how the situation had developed to this point, but this was something he was happy to see.
* Ring ring ring … *
Suddenly, the crisp sound of a bell rang out from not far away. It was as if a clear stream flowed through their hearts, and their minds became much clearer.
Lu Ye looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a small and agile figure sprinting on the roof of a nearby building.
It was a white cat with soft and bright fur. There was a small bell around its neck, and the sound of the bell was coming from it.
There really was a cat?
Previously, when the woman in the red dress told him to find a cat, he thought it was just an obsession in her heart, so he didn't take it to heart. But now, it seemed that there really was a white cat called Tang Yuan in this city.
It seemed to have been attracted by the commotion here and was running with the crowd on a nearby roof, watching the commotion as it ran.
Lu Ye didn't know what he would gain from helping the woman in the red dress bring the cat back, because whether it was Liu Sanbao or the pipa woman, their obsessions had never been satisfied.
However, this was worth a try. Perhaps there would be some unexpected benefits. …
With this thought in mind, Lu Ye's legs were enhanced by the wind spirit inscriptions. He stepped on the ground and pounced toward the running white cat. As the distance closed, Lu Ye reached out to grab the white cat.
However, he missed. The white cat's movements were extremely agile. Just as Lu Ye was about to catch it, its speed suddenly increased a lot, and it dashed forward by a large margin.
Lu Ye landed on the roof and chased after the white cat without stopping.
The white cat escaped. Its speed didn't seem very fast, but it was actually extremely agile. Every time Lu Ye attacked it, it would be able to dodge by a hair's breadth.
This gave Lu Ye the feeling that it was playing with him.
Lu Ye frowned and patted his storage bag. Two imperial artifacts flew out and intertwined as they attacked the white cat.
The white cat's body suddenly became much more agile. It jumped and dodged the attacks of the imperial artifacts one by one.
"Giant Carapace!" Lu Ye shouted down.
Giant Armor leaped up when he heard the call. He had also seen the white cat long ago and had been waiting for an opportunity. When he heard Lu Ye's call, he leaped onto the roof and blocked the white cat's path. He opened his broad chest and looked like he was telling the cat to come over quickly.
The white cat rushed toward him. Giant Armor stretched out his fan-like hand to grab it, but he didn't manage to catch it. The white cat even stepped on his hand and with a nimble flip, landed on Giant Armor's head.
Lu Ye and Giant Armor froze at the same time as if they had been immobilized by a spell.
On Giant Armor's head, the white cat meowed and raised its paw to lick it. This made Giant Armor's eyes roll up and look at Lu Ye. He opened his two large hands and slowly moved them toward the top of his head.
Lu Ye shook his head, indicating that he shouldn't act rashly. He then nodded.
In the next instant, Giant Armor suddenly exerted force and slapped his two large hands together.
* Boom … *
The sound of air exploding rang out, and visible waves of air swept out in all directions. If this attack had hit its target, the white cat, even if it was a spiritual body, would have died without a corpse remaining. However, the white cat had already landed not too far away, and its eyes revealed an extremely vivid expression of contempt.
Giant Beetle pounced on it like a mad dog. With a loud crash, a large hole was smashed in the roof, and it fell down. White Cat, who had landed at the side, even had the leisure to look down at the situation below.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Ye dashed forward and reached out to grab it.
However, just as he was about to succeed, the white cat scurried to the side, the contempt in its eyes even more intense.
Lu Ye looked up at it and thought for a moment before jumping down from the roof.
He was certain that this little thing was playing with him and Giant Armor. It was too fast for him to catch it with his strength.
After confirming this, Lu Ye didn't want to waste any more time. Right now, it was more important to chase after Chuqing and the others.
Giant Armor walked out of the broken room. When it saw Lu Ye, it asked for his opinion. Lu Ye shook his head.
While the two of them were chasing the white cat, Hu Po didn't stay idle. He was leading the Nightmare Spirits to chase after them. Lu Ye and Giant Armor went on their way again. Occasionally, they would see one or two corpses that were killed by the Nightmare Spirits.
The ringing sound kept coming. It turned out that the white cat had been following them on the roof nearby, provoking them openly.
Lu Ye turned a blind eye to it and pretended that he didn't see it.
Not long after, a chaotic and violent spiritual energy fluctuation came from the front. It seemed that many people were fighting over there.
Yiyi returned with Hu Po. Lu Ye went forward to ask and learned that there were indeed many cultivators fighting over there. Judging by the scale, it should be the Shenyin Palace and the Zhaoyang Mountain.
Chuqing and the others who were chased by them had already met up with the people of the Zhaoyang Mountain.
Seeing that things were not going well, Yiyi retreated with Hu Po.
