The preparations for Haotian Alliance's counterattack had been completed. Ji Yan had sent people to investigate the Demons Ridge's base. Now, he had a clue.
They would take action in half a day's time.
Originally, he wasn't sure. Although Lu Ye and Giant Armor had joined, the Demons Ridge still had a slight advantage in terms of numbers. If they really fought, it was hard to say who would lose.
But now, he knew that Lu Ye had more than 30 spiritual bodies under his command. There were even five special spiritual bodies. The difference in numbers between the two sides had been closed.
Even if these spiritual bodies were lost, they could be replaced. This was very good.
It meant that as long as Lu Ye didn't die, there would be endless manpower. It didn't matter if they lost this time. There would be another chance next time. If they wore down the enemy's strength bit by bit, the Demons Ridge wouldn't be able to bear it.
Originally, Gu Canyang was locked in the dungeon by the Immortal Origin Guards. The Hidden God Palace had no leader. Now that the Sunlight Mountain and the Wind Flower Yard could join hands, Ji Yan was ready to sacrifice himself. Who knew that the situation would slowly develop like this? It was an unexpected surprise.
It could be imagined that after this, his status in the sect would be greatly improved. All kinds of rewards would be indispensable.
The only thing that made him feel pity was Gu Canyang. He didn't know how Gu Canyang was doing in the dungeon.
Half a day later, the news of the counterattack on the Demons Ridge had been spread. Those rogue cultivators were all calling their friends and gathering those who hadn't gathered before.
The number of people increased by about 30. Although there were definitely rogue cultivators hiding somewhere, since they didn't show up, there was nothing they could do.
Those rogue cultivators probably thought that the Hidden God Palace was no match for them, so they wanted to protect themselves.
Since they were gathering rogue cultivators here, the Demons Ridge must be gathering too. There should be more of them. After all, in the hearts of those rogue cultivators, the Demons Ridge had the advantage. Ji Yan didn't know how they would feel after the next battle.
Lu Ye found a place to meditate and recover. At the same time, he cracked the restriction lock on the storage bag. Hu Po also needed to recover. The Bi Spirits had consumed too much energy. These days, Hu Po seemed to have lost a lot of weight, which made Yiyi's heart ache.
Giant Armor, who had been carefully treated, came to Lu Ye's side and sat down without saying anything.
Lu Ye turned his head and raised his eyebrows.
After the previous battles, Giant Armor's body was covered in wounds. Many of the wounds were bleeding and looked extremely horrifying. However, those wounds were almost invisible now.
It was impossible for him to recover so quickly just by relying on the treatment of a medical cultivator. This fellow's recovery ability was ridiculously strong.
He took out a large piece of beast meat from his storage pouch and handed it over. Giant Armor took it and started eating.
Two hours later, Lu Ye had unlocked all of the storage pouches and took out the useful items inside. Then, he picked a few more items and put them into a storage pouch. He handed it to the giant armor. "This is for you."
This silly girl didn't even have a storage pouch with Sima Yang. He didn't know how she had lived all these years.
When Lu Ye was chatting with the Eighth Order Weapon Cultivator before, he had talked about the giant armour and learned some information.
Many people knew that Sima Yang treated Giant Armor as a money tree, so the nearby cultivators, whether they were Rogue Cultivators or disciples of Sects, had a bad impression of Sima Yang. Bullying an honest person like this was truly heartless.
There were also people who tried to persuade Giant Armor in private, but Giant Armor never paid any attention and continued to follow Sima Yang. It seemed that to him, as long as he had a bite to eat in this world, he didn't ask for anything else.
Faced with such a foolish Giant Armor, the Rogue Cultivators who sympathized with him couldn't do anything.
It was said that Giant Armor was not from the Nine States. He was born in the Spirit Stream Battlefield and was able to embark on the path of cultivation because of Sima Yang's teachings. In his early years, Sima Yang, who was only at the Third Order Spirit Stream Realm, met Giant Armor by chance in the wilderness. Seeing his extraordinary talent, Sima Yang taught him some cultivation techniques. That was why he was loyal to Sima Yang all these years and never left him.
Holding the storage pouch, Giant Armor was obviously stunned and turned to look at Lu Ye.
Lu Ye patted his waist.
Giant Armor grinned foolishly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth. Then, he copied Lu Ye and tied the storage pouch to his waist.
"There's a defensive Spirit Artifact inside. You can refine it and use it!" Lu Ye reminded him.
Giant Armor's physique was indeed unimaginably strong. With Lu Ye's current strength, he could kill an ordinary Ninth Order Body Cultivator without much effort. That Feng Hua Courtyard's Qiao Yun was already considered one of the best Ninth Order Body Cultivators, so Lu Ye had to spend some effort to kill her.
However, compared to Giant Armor, Qiao Yun paled in comparison.
Lu Ye faintly suspected that Giant Armor might have an extremely special physique.
However, no matter how strong one's physique was, they could still be injured. Giant Armor had many injuries on his body before. If he had a defensive Spirit Artifact, it would be easier for him to resist a siege.
Half a day passed in a flash.
Following Ji Yan's order, more than a hundred cultivators split into more than a dozen teams and moved out.
On the houses and streets, figures leaped and moved, silently approaching the place where the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators were gathered.
After an hour, they arrived at their destination.
At the same time, the Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators in charge of security discovered the traces of Grand Heaven Alliance and quickly alerted them.
It wasn't that Grand Heaven Alliance's concealment wasn't perfect, but more than a hundred people moving together made it difficult to hide.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the two sides fought across the air. Spells and Imperial Artifacts collided in mid-air, giving off intense Spirit Energy fluctuations.
Ghost cultivators stealthily concealed themselves and sneaked into the enemy's camp, looking for suitable targets to kill.
From time to time, short screams would abruptly stop.
Ji Yan, who was observing the situation, quietly wiped off his cold sweat. Previously, he had gathered thirty rogue cultivators and thought that he could close the gap in numbers with the enemy, but after the real fight, he discovered that the number of Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators had increased.
If it weren't for the dozens of Spirit Bodies under Lu Ye's command, this battle would have been difficult.
Amidst the chaos, Ji Yan turned his head to look at Lu Ye's side and saw the Spirit Bodies displaying their might.
From the information he obtained from the Eighth Order cultivator, he now knew that it wasn't Lu Ye himself who could control the Spirit Bodies, but the pet beast he brought with him.
These Spirit Bodies were definitely capable of turning the tide of the battle, so Ji Yan attached great importance to them. Before the battle began, he had already assigned a group of people to guard Lu Ye and his pet beast.
At this moment, in addition to Giant Armor, three burly Body Cultivators stood in front of Lu Ye and Hu Po, while five Magic Cultivators stood behind them, constantly casting spells to block the attacks from the opposite side. What's more, Lu Ye and Giant Armor weren't just standing there. They were also blocking the incoming Spells and Imperial Artifacts.
Because of Chu Qing's group, before the battle began, Lu Ye had instructed Giant Armor to not act rashly. Even if the enemy approached them, they shouldn't attack, lest they fall into a trap. If they fell into Chu Qing's trap and died on the spot, it wouldn't be worth it.
The miserable state of the dozen or so people who had accidentally injured Giant Armor was still vivid in their minds.
Throughout the entire battlefield, Lu Ye's side was the most active. The Immortal Energy Guards were constantly casting Spirit Binding Chains, and the five special Spirit Bodies each had their own merits. The pipa woman was sobbing as she played the pipa, Liu Sanbao was using his Imperial Artifact to kill the enemy, and the scholar was holding a foot-long brush in his hand, using his own Spirit Energy to write an essay. Every time he wrote a word, the word would glow and fall towards the Myriad Demon Ridge camp. The blind fortune teller was constantly tossing the ancient coins he used for fortune-telling. He didn't kill the enemy, but every time his ancient coins were arranged in a straight line, an unlucky person from Myriad Demon Ridge would scream.
The Butcher was the only one who held his boning knife and stood quietly at the side, guarding Hu Po closely.
According to the feedback from Hu Po, the Butcher should be a Weapon Cultivator, so he wouldn't be able to play a role in this battle for the time being.
However, if they could break the enemy's defensive line and engage in close combat, the Butcher's spring would come.
This kind of offensive and defensive battle wasn't considered dangerous, because both spells and Imperial Artifacts could be tracked. As long as one's eyesight was good enough and one's reaction was fast enough, there would always be room to dodge.
This was also the reason why Grand Heaven Alliance could persist under Myriad Demon Ridge's attack.
However, with Lu Ye and a large group of Bi Spirits joining the battle, things were different. The pipa woman's interference on the enemy's mind was too fatal. In addition to the Immortal Energy Guards' Spirit Binding Chains, the slightest carelessness in this chaotic battle would cost one's life.
An hour after the battle started, more than 40 cultivators from Myriad Demon Ridge had died, and their morale was low.
Although Grand Heaven Alliance suffered losses, their casualties were less than 30% of Myriad Demon Ridge's. The difference in numbers was completely wiped out, and Grand Heaven Alliance became more and more courageous as they fought.
After another hour, Myriad Demon Ridge's defensive line was completely defeated, and they all retreated.
Ji Yan didn't give the order to pursue. Instead, he ordered people to rest on the spot and clean up the battlefield.
The reason why he didn't pursue them was that after this battle, everyone was greatly exhausted. Secondly, he was afraid that Myriad Demon Ridge would be driven to desperation.
Now that the situation was in their favor, they only needed to stabilize and slowly expand their advantage.
While the cultivators were resting, Lu Ye threw a few Spirit Pills into his mouth and fed Hu Po some Spirit Pills. He also let Hu Po absorb a mouthful of Blood Qi from its scales so that it could recover as soon as possible.
Half a day later, most people had recovered.
Lu Ye opened his eyes and saw Giant Armor staring at him with a pair of eyes.
"?" Lu Ye was puzzled.
"Revenge!" Giant Armor said concisely.
Lu Ye understood what he meant. After pondering for a while, he nodded and said, "I'll arrange it."
Giant Armor obviously wanted to take revenge with his own hands, but he also knew that he couldn't kill the people from Wind Flower Courtyard with the restriction of the red-dressed woman. Therefore, if he wanted to take revenge with his own hands, he had to remove the restriction of the red-dressed woman.
After a while, the cultivators from Grand Heaven Alliance who had finished resting continued to rush forward with Shen Yingong in the lead.
Lu Ye found Ji Yan and said a few words to him. Ji Yan nodded.
Although Immortal Essence City was big, it was still difficult to hide a scale of nearly 100 people. Moreover, when Myriad Demon Ridge retreated, Ji Yan had already ordered the ghost cultivators under his sect to follow them and investigate the enemy's movements. Therefore, Ji Yan knew clearly where Myriad Demon Ridge was now.
