When Chuqing came to him with her men, he thought he could join forces with the Windflower Yard to take down the Hidden God Palace. Who would have thought that Chuqing would only bring less than 30 men?
The Windflower Yard had brought almost 100 men this time. Even if some of them were unlucky enough to be captured by the Immortal Origin Defenders and locked up in the dungeon, they wouldn't lose too many men.
However, what could they do when only 30 men were left? At most, they would be the icing on the cake.
Qi Ming had already sent a message to Chuqing, asking her to bring her men and join him. They would deal with the Hidden God Palace first. As long as they could deal with the Hidden God Palace, the rest of the Grand Sky Alliance would be like a sheet of loose sand.
However, Chuqing insisted on finding trouble with Lu Yiye. It would have been fine if she could deal with him successfully. However, not only did she fail to do so, but the Windflower Yard also suffered heavy losses. Less than 30 of their men were killed.
Although those who died weren't from Mount Sunlight, it undoubtedly affected Qi Ming's original plan. Naturally, Qi Ming was dissatisfied.
If he didn't have a good personal relationship with Chuqing, he would have scolded her for being big-breasted but brainless.
Chuqing naturally understood the meaning behind Qi Ming's words. Although she was sullen, she couldn't refute him.
Before they arrived, she had already explained the situation to Qi Ming. This time, the Fenghua Courtyard had suffered such a great loss at the hands of Lu Ye. It could be said that it was all thanks to the red-dressed woman. If she had not asked the Fenghua Courtyard to look for some glutinous rice balls, they would not have ended up in such a sorry state.
However, no matter what, she had to bear some of the blame for the result.
"Let's deal with those spirits first. They are very difficult to deal with," Chuqing suggested.
The Windflower Yard had suffered enough from those spirits. Those Immortal Origin Defenders didn't have many means to kill the enemy. The most they used was the Spirit Binding Chains. However, this technique was very effective in binding and capturing people. In such a big battle, once bound by the Spirit Binding Chains, the flying lights of Imperial Equipment and techniques would come to greet them.
"I know," Qi Ming said unhappily. Qi Ming grumbled in annoyance. At his command, dozens of people immediately turned their attention to Lu Ye's side. Spells and Imperial Artifacts flew over.
Giant Armor stepped forward and used its physical body to block the attacks. At the same time, Lu Ye activated his two Imperial Artifacts to block the enemy's attacks as much as possible.
His speed was very fast, so even though there were only two of them, the interception effect was very good. With the help of the giant armor, the threat that the Myriad Demons Ridge posed to the Bi Ling was greatly reduced.
Due to the attacks from the many cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge, the pressure on the cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance was greatly reduced. Following the shouts of the cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance, the cultivators from the Grand Sky Alliance began to show signs of stabilizing the situation.
That boosted Haotian Alliance's morale.
The wailing sounds became even more chaotic. The Nightmare Spirits constantly moved to restrain the enemies. The Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators who were bound were lucky enough to break free in time, but the unlucky ones were quickly killed.
As the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators perished one by one, the situation slowly stabilized!
Sensing that Lu Ye's side was of great use, under Ji Yan's command, a group of more than ten cultivators moved closer, sharing the pressure for Lu Ye and Giant Armor so that Bi Ling could attack without any worries. This was especially true around the pipa woman. Three cultivators surrounded her, guarding her to the death.
This was because both Ji Yan and Qi Ming could sense that the pipa woman played a huge role in this kind of battle. The other Immortal Origin Guards only had one way of attacking. Even Liu Sanbao only used Imperial Equipment to kill the enemy. However, the pipa woman's wailing had a wide range. Every time she cried, it would disturb the minds of the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators. Coupled with the tinkling sound of the pipa, she was simply a great killing weapon that could change the direction of the battle.
This led to the pipa woman being the main target of the Myriad Demons Ridge.
While everyone was busy fighting, a barely visible figure quietly approached Lu Ye's side.
This figure didn't move very quickly. If one looked carefully, they could vaguely make out the outline of his body. However, the two sides were currently in full swing. Who would have the luxury of observing their surroundings? Even more so, no one would have thought that an enemy would be so bold as to sneak behind their camp.
To be able to appear and disappear unpredictably, this person was obviously a ghost cultivator.
This ghost cultivator concealed all of his aura. Even the spirit weapon in his hand didn't show its sharpness. He stared at Hu Po on Lu Ye's shoulder and slowly approached.
With the information provided by Chuqing, Qi Ming's side had already figured out that the reason Lu Ye could control the Immortal Origin Guards was because of this pet beast. Therefore, as long as this pet beast was killed, the Immortal Origin Guards would no longer pose a threat.
This ghost cultivator had been lurking nearby for a long time. His original target was Ji Yan, but unfortunately, he hadn't found a good opportunity. Now, under Qi Ming's orders, he changed his target to Hu Po.
One hundred feet, five feet, three feet … In a situation where everyone was unprepared, the ghost cultivator attacked violently.
However, just as the ghost cultivator was about to slash Hu Po, his vision blurred. All the noise disappeared, and he somehow appeared in a stone forest.
Lu Ye quickly looked back, and Yiyi also hurriedly retreated a few steps from him. She raised her hand, and the Nine Worlds Map that was hidden on the ground was sucked into her hand. She looked down and saw that there was an additional figure in the stone forest.
She hurriedly urged her spirit energy to stabilize the Nine Worlds Chart and nodded to Lu Ye. Lu Ye put down Hu Po on his shoulder. Yi Yi swung the Nine Worlds Chart in her hand and aimed it at Lu Ye.
In just ten breaths, she shook the Nine Worlds Chart again. Lu Ye and a corpse appeared together.
This was a Ninth Order ghost cultivator. It had to be said that ghost cultivators were really good at hiding. Lu Ye didn't even notice before. If he hadn't arranged the Nine Worlds Chart behind him in advance, this ghost cultivator might have succeeded.
He secretly warned himself that he would have to be more careful when fighting ghost cultivators in the future. Otherwise, he really wouldn't know when they would sneak up on him.
Of course, this was also related to the chaotic situation at the moment.
At the same time when this ghost cultivator died, Qi Ming vaguely sensed something. He checked his battlefield mark and confirmed that the ghost cultivator he had high hopes for was dead. His face immediately sank.
That was a Ninth Order ghost cultivator under his command. His concealment skills were extremely good, but now, he died without knowing why!
Looking at the battlefield again, the Grand Heaven Alliance cultivators, who were originally suppressed, not only had the capital to fight back, they even had the strength to counterattack.
Since Lu Yiye appeared with a group of spirit bodies, more than 30 cultivators from the Myriad Devil Ridge had been killed. Although they still had more people than the Grand Heaven Alliance, it was difficult for them to fully suppress the Myriad Devil Ridge. Coupled with the influence of the crying spirit bodies, they didn't have any advantage even if they had more people.
If this continued, no one would be able to gain anything.
Qi Ming hesitated for a while. Seeing that the situation was getting worse, he could only order a retreat.
Grand Heaven Alliance naturally wouldn't allow the people from Myriad Demon Ridge to leave so easily. They chased after them for a while and both sides suffered losses. Only then did they stop under Ji Yan's command.
The great battle came to an end. Almost everyone from the Grand Heaven Alliance was injured. Lu Ye's side also suffered great losses. Liu Sanbao and the pipa woman were unharmed, but only three of the captain-level Immortal Essence Guardians were left. The rest of the captain-level Immortal Essence Guardians were destroyed in the battle just now.
It couldn't be helped. In such a chaotic situation, even if he and Giant Armor tried their best to protect the Bi Spirits on their side, it was inevitable that there would be some mistakes, especially when Myriad Demon Ridge was attacking them fiercely.
If it weren't for Giant Armor, all the Bi Spirits would have died.
Ji Yan quickly walked over with a few cultivators from Divine Hidden Palace. He cupped his fists from afar, "Thank you for helping us."
"We're all from Grand Heaven Alliance. It's our duty," Lu Ye returned the salute.
Ji Yan recognized Lu Ye at this time. After all, he tried to recruit Lu Ye in the valley before, but unfortunately, he was rejected.
"How should I address you?"
"Jade Blood Sect, Lu Ye!"
"Jade Blood Sect?" Ji Yan raised his eyebrows, "Is it the Jade Blood Sect of the War Province?"
The cultivators who came with him were also surprised. Obviously, they had heard of the Jade Blood Sect before.
"Yes!"
Ji Yan looked Lu Ye up and down and said suspiciously, "About half a year ago, a cultivator from the Jade Blood Sect called Lu Yiye fought against the major sects of Myriad Demon Ridge on the top of the golden light outside the battlefield. That was …"
"That was me."
Ji Yan immediately exclaimed, "So it's Fellow Yiye. I've heard so much about you. Senior Brother Gu told us that Fellow Yiye had boosted the morale of our Grand Heaven Alliance. It's a pity that he wasn't there that day, so he didn't have the chance to see Fellow Yiye with his own eyes. I didn't expect to meet Fellow Yiye here. Senior Brother Gu …"
Speaking of this, Ji Yan seemed to have thought of something. He stopped talking and smiled, "Fellow Yiye, you really live up to your reputation."
"You flatter me."
Ji Yan gestured with his hand, "This isn't the place to talk. Fellow Yiye, this way please."
After a short while, Ji Yan led Lu Ye to a dilapidated courtyard to settle down. Many injured cultivators were being treated here. This kind of large-scale operation with more than a hundred people was usually accompanied by medical cultivators. Not only the Divine Hidden Palace, but the other two sects were also the same.
However, there weren't many medical cultivators in the first place, so there were even fewer of them. This caused several medical cultivators to be busy here. Those who were slightly injured were basically treated by themselves. Only those who were seriously injured would be sent here.
"Fellow Yiye, why is Giant Armor following you? Where's Sima Yang?" Ji Yan glanced at Giant Armor who was covered in blood. He had some guesses in his heart, but he wasn't sure.
"Sima Yang is dead. Giant Armor and I met by chance on the road, so we traveled together."
"Sima Yang is dead?"
Lu Ye felt that Ji Yan's tone was a little surprised, but he didn't know if it was an illusion.
"What a pity. Although Sima Yang was a Loose Cultivator, he still had some skills. Our Divine Hidden Palace tried to rope him in before, but we didn't succeed. I didn't expect him to die here."
As he spoke, he called out, "Junior Martial Sister Lin, Junior Martial Sister Lin!"
A female cultivator wearing a square headscarf and covered in blood ran in. "Senior Martial Brother Ji."
Ji Yan pointed at Giant Armor who was standing next to him. "Help Brother Giant Armor heal his wounds. Brother Giant Armor contributed a lot to our victory."
"Yes," the female cultivator replied and beckoned to Giant Armor. "Follow me."
Giant Armor turned around and followed her.
