Spells and flying artifacts bombarded each other from all directions. The battle was intense, and the remaining cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge were prepared to die.
This chase had already lasted for two days. During these two days, both sides had exchanged blows four times. Each time, the Myriad Devil Ridge's side had been defeated.
In the first two times, the Myriad Devil Ridge still had some strength to fight back. However, as the number of cultivators kept decreasing, the Myriad Devil Ridge no longer had the capital to fight against the Grand Heaven Alliance. The difference in numbers was too big.
At this point, there were less than thirty cultivators left on the Myriad Devil Ridge's side.
Even Qi Ming from Sunlight Mountain was killed by Haotian Alliance in the previous battle. Now, the 30 cultivators were struggling to resist with Chu Qing from Wind Flower Yard.
However, everyone knew that they would die if this continued.
If they wanted to live, they had to break out!
They did so quickly. After finding out the weak point of Haotian Alliance's encirclement, Chu Qing led the 30 cultivators to kill in that direction.
Haotian Alliance couldn't stop them because there were only 100 cultivators in Haotian Alliance. Their encirclement wasn't tight enough.
After half an hour, Wanmo Ridge's cultivators broke out of the encirclement. Only 20 of the 30 cultivators were left. Everyone was panting heavily and running forward desperately.
There were no pursuers behind them. The survivors were relieved. However, they didn't dare to stop. Under Chu Qing's lead, they continued to run forward. They only wanted to get as far away from Haotian Alliance as possible.
On the messy battlefield, Ji Yan found Lu Ye and said with a smile, "Fortunately, I didn't disappoint you."
Did Haotian Alliance have no spare energy to chase after them? Of course, there were. As for the results of the chase, it was unknown. The other party was not dead, so it was impossible for them to stand there obediently and let others kill them. The most likely outcome was that the chase would end with everyone being exhausted.
Moreover, it was Lu Ye's idea to let Chu Qing and the others go.
"I'll ask someone to keep an eye on their movements," Ji Yan said again.
"Thank you." Lu Ye nodded. "As for the white cat, I'll have to trouble Brother Ji."
"Don't worry about it." Ji Yan laughed heartily. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.
After resting for a while, Lu Ye left with Giant Armor.
The two of them had to find the cat, which gave them a headache.
Up until now, Lu Ye had only seen the white cat once. In the end, he and Giant Armor had attacked together, but they were still unable to catch it. That little thing was simply too fast.
Lu Ye already had a plan on how to catch the cat, but whether it would work or not, he still had to try. The difficult part now was how to find it.
Fortunately, there were still many people left in the Grand Heaven Alliance. Lu Ye had already entrusted Ji Yan to order the Grand Heaven Alliance's people to split up and search. As for the defeated soldiers in the Myriad Devil Ridge … Just leave them be for the time being. They probably wouldn't dare to come out now.
Once he found the white cat, he would bring it back to the woman in the red dress and have her remove her restraints. Then, he would be free to deal with Chuqing and the others.
If they really couldn't find them, then they could only let the Grand Sky Alliance continue to besiege them. No matter what, those people from the Myriad Devil Ridge wouldn't be able to leave the Immortal Essence City alive.
Along the way, the Nightmare Spirits that had been lost due to the successive battles were replenished. As for the white cat, there wasn't even a shadow of it.
A day later, Ji Yan suddenly sent a message saying that someone had seen the white cat.
Lu Ye's spirit was lifted. He immediately led Giant Armor and rushed in that direction.
More than an hour later, Lu Ye met up with a ghost cultivator. Under the ghost cultivator's guidance, they moved forward quietly. When they reached a corner, the ghost cultivator stopped and looked out. Then, he retracted his head and said, "It's over there."
Lu Ye looked over and indeed saw the white cat. This fellow was curled up on a roof, sleeping quietly.
"Thank you for your hard work."
"Do you need me to make a move?" The ghost cultivator asked.
"No need. I'll do the rest myself."
The ghost cultivator nodded. Then, he quietly concealed himself and soon disappeared.
Lu Ye looked at the white cat again. After making sure that he didn't disturb it, he began to deploy.
A moment later, a group of five Immortal Essence Guards passed by the roof where the white cat was. The white cat, who was taking a nap, shook its tail and remained indifferent.
Soon, another team of Immortal Essence Defenders walked past. This team consisted of six people.
The white cat raised its head. There was a vague look of doubt in its eyes, but that was all.
When the third group of Immortal Essence Guards passed by, the white cat finally realized that something was wrong. It quickly got up and looked around vigilantly. Then, with light steps, it was ready to leave this place.
All of a sudden, the Immortal Essence Defenders that were passing by it turned around and threw Spirit Binding Chains at it.
"Meow!" When the white cat meowed, its body moved nimbly from left to right. It avoided the Spirit Binding Chains and ran forward on all fours.
However, it didn't run far before it heard cries in front of it. The pipa woman had appeared there at some point, and the scholar was standing beside her. With the sound of the pipa, the scholar waved his brush in the air, and one big word after another was thrown at the white cat.
Silhouettes appeared one after another from all directions, surrounding it so tightly that not even a drop of water could escape.
In order to catch the white cat, Lu Ye had mobilized all the available Bi Spirits, including himself. With the help of the Wind Travel Spiritual Tattoo, his speed increased sharply.
The white cat meowed even louder. It obviously sensed that something was wrong, but its movements were too nimble. More than 20 Immortal Essence Guards attacked together, and the Spirit Binding Chains were densely packed, but they still couldn't bind it.
It tried to escape, but it couldn't. The encirclement formed by the Bi Spirits kept shrinking. The white cat seemed to have nowhere to run.
However, it suddenly turned around and aimed at the direction of the Giant Armor. The small cat turned into a white line and rushed to the front of the Giant Armor in an instant.
The Giant Armor grabbed at it with its big hand, but it caught nothing.
Just like last time, the white cat jumped onto his head and sat down. It turned around and looked at Lu Ye, its eyes full of playfulness.
Giant Armor was infuriated and slapped his own head. The white cat had already jumped away and landed not far behind him. Then, it took small, proud steps and slowly walked forward. On the other hand, Giant Armor's head was slapped to the side by his own head.
As it moved forward, it didn't forget to look back at Lu Ye's gloomy face.
Just as it was feeling complacent, it suddenly felt a sense of danger. The white cat's fur stood on end, and it let out a meow before disappearing without a trace. At the location where it disappeared, the space was slightly distorted, and a stone forest could be vaguely seen flashing past.
Lu Ye and Yiyi dove down at the same time.
Yiyi raised her hand and the Nine Worlds Map, which she had placed there in advance, was taken back. She poured her power into it and opened it for Lu Ye. Lu Ye called to Hu Po and had Hu Po put away the Bi Spirits first. Then, he took Lu Ye into the Nine Worlds Map.
The Nine Worlds Map was the last line of defense, and also a flaw that Lu Ye had left behind. He had deliberately placed the Giant Armor in this position because he had sensed that the white cat was very intelligent. Once it was surrounded, there was a high chance that it would break out in the direction of the Giant Armor.
However, he hadn't expected that this line of defense would actually come in handy.
He had thought that with so many Bi Spirits, it wouldn't be much of a problem to take down the white cat.
The Giant Armor walked to Yiyi's side and didn't follow in. He had to stay here to protect Yiyi. While maintaining the Nine Worlds Map, Yiyi couldn't be distracted. If there was any danger, she wouldn't be able to deal with it.
Looking over, they saw that there were many more figures in the stone forest on the Nine Worlds Map. These figures were constantly moving around in the small map, and occasionally, there were patterns that looked like Spirit Shackles appearing.
After a full hour, Yiyi shook the Nine Worlds Map and Lu Ye appeared. However, his expression was very gloomy, and there were many scratches on his face.
The white cat was held in his hand by the neck, motionless. The cat's eyes were watery, as if it had been wronged.
"Let's go." Lu Ye called out and led the way in the direction of the woman in the red dress.
It wasn't that the white cat didn't want to run away, but every time it made any strange movements, Lu Ye would send a stream of spiritual power over. The feeling of being eroded by that scorching power was uncomfortable. After several times, the white cat could only accept its fate.
Not long after, they arrived at the small courtyard where the woman in the red dress was.
Lu Ye opened the door and immediately saw the red figure sitting on the swing, swaying gently.
He stood behind the woman in the red dress. The white cat, who had been pretending to be dead all this time, was suddenly energized. It kept meowing, and there was no need to mention how wronged it was.
Lu Ye frowned. This white cat seemed to be very important to the woman in the red dress. His attitude towards the white cat earlier wasn't very friendly. If the woman in the red dress took her anger out on him because of this, then things wouldn't be good.
He tightened his grip on the white cat, and the meowing immediately stopped.
"Have you found Tang Yuan?" The woman in the red dress asked.
Lu Ye handed over the white cat in his hand.
"Put it down," the woman in the red dress ordered.
Lu Ye did as he was told. As soon as the white cat got rid of Lu Ye, it turned into a white shadow and flew outside. It was obviously addicted to running away from home. However, a red ribbon flew out at lightning speed and tied it up.
Amidst the white cat's desperate struggle and meowing, it was dragged back to the woman in the red dress.
Lu Ye was secretly pleased. Little thing, you also have a day like this!
After capturing the white cat, the woman in the red dress placed it on her lap and gently stroked it. The white cat also bowed down as if it had accepted its fate and stopped struggling.
The scenario of it complaining to the woman in the red dress and taking revenge on him didn't happen.
"You guys did very well," the woman in the red dress spoke again.
As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Ye vaguely felt that he had broken free from an invisible restraint. He turned to look at Giant Armor, and Giant Armor nodded slightly. It was obvious that it had the same experience as him.
He wondered if Chuqing and the others had also broken free from the woman in the red dress' restraint. If they hadn't, then things would be interesting.
"If there's nothing else, we'll take our leave first."
After Lu Ye finished speaking, he gave Giant Armor a look. The two of them quickly turned around and left in tacit understanding.
The woman in the red dress' special spiritual body was too powerful. There was no way to transform into a nightmare spirit. He had even gotten himself into trouble with her, so Lu Ye didn't dare to stay for long.
Who knew if she would ask him to find some balls or something like that again, so he quickly left.
