Sure enough, Tang Yi Feng killed his way into the Thunder Province. Although he was forced to retreat by the Myriad Demon Ridge's powerhouses, he clearly didn't plan on stopping there. He continued to wander around the border between the Thunder Province and the Mist Province, waiting for a good opportunity.
This gave the Myriad Demon Ridge a huge headache. You could be a thief for a thousand days, but how could you guard against a thief for a thousand days?
This was especially true for a powerhouse like Tang Yi Feng. Once he started to act shamelessly, the Myriad Demon Ridge really couldn't do anything about it, unless they could find a way to surround him and kill him in a single stroke.
But who was Tang Yi Feng? He was far from being a wily old fox. Wanting to surround him was simply a fool's dream.
Just as the Jade Blood Sect's Sect Master was stirring up trouble in the Thunder Province by himself, the core area of the Spirit Stream Battlefield became lively.
Li Baxian had come out to cause trouble.
In the Spirit Stream Battlefield, there was a list that the Heavenly Secrets of the Spirit Stream Battlefield was fair. It was the Spirit Stream List, and was the most authoritative list. That was because there were no artificial factors involved in the list. It was a list that the Heavenly Secrets of the Spirit Stream Battlefield automatically generated and ranked based on the strength a cultivator had displayed in battle.
This list changed very frequently, as it was impossible for a cultivator to stay in the Spirit Stream Realm for a long time after reaching the peak. At most, they would accumulate strength for a period of time, and when the time was right, they would choose to break through to the Cloud River Realm.
Li Baxian was previously ranked tenth, and was the only Eighth Order Heaven Grade cultivator on the Spirit Stream List. The others were all Ninth Order.
But now, he was ranked third on the Spirit Stream List. This wasn't just because someone had broken through to the Cloud River Realm, but also because he had never shown his strength in front of others.
After the battle with Yan Xing, who was ranked second on the Spirit Stream List, he could no longer hide his true strength.
Now, looking at the top three of the Spirit Stream List, the geniuses of the various sects on the Spirit Stream Battlefield all expressed that they were suffering.
That was because these three bastards were old foxes who had been in the Spirit Stream Realm for more than a decade. How could the rising stars compare to them in terms of foundation?
It was said that … those who were ranked on the Spirit Stream List would receive benefits. Moreover, these benefits were bestowed by the Heavens. As for what kind of benefits they were, it wasn't clear, as many people received different benefits. But what was certain was that the higher one's ranking was, the more benefits they would receive.
However, since the three of them had been on the list for three years, no matter how high their ranking was, there was no benefit at all.
The three of them had occupied the top three spots on the Spirit Stream List for so long that even Heavenly Fate couldn't stand it anymore. He treated them as if they didn't exist, and didn't pay any attention to them when he gave them benefits.
In addition to the Spirit Stream List, which was an authoritative list created by Heaven's Will, there were also lists that cultivators made in private, such as the Hidden Dragon List, the Spirit Stream List of Beauties, and so on.
One of them was the Free Cloud and Wild Crane List, which evaluated those powerful cultivators. The evaluation criteria for being on the list were the number of enemies a cultivator had recently killed, the number of battles they had fought, and the degree of threat they posed to other cultivators.
Before the battle of Golden Light Summit, Li Baxian was at the top of the Free Cloud and Wild Crane List. He had sat there for many years and no one could shake his position.
This was because he was a lazy fish. He spent all his time in Pillheart Sect's encampment like a girl who was too ashamed to see others. He did not step out of the house at all. Although he was the Vice Guardian of Pillheart Sect in name, even the disciples of Pillheart Sect rarely saw him.
However, after the battle of Golden Light Summit, this person who had been at the top of the list for many years had his ranking plummeted. He had even slipped to the bottom of the list.
Until this time, his name was removed from the Free Cloud and Wild Crane List.
Because of the chaos he had caused in the core regions, Li Baxian was now like a burly man who had not seen a girl for decades. Every day, he would be as energetic as a dragon and ferocious as a tiger, going around killing the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators who were alone. With his strength as the third on the Spirit Stream List, who in the core regions could be a match for him? This had already led to several big battles.
Such a belligerent person was naturally not qualified to be included in the Free Cloud and Wild Crane List.
However, in the years that Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan had been overseeing Pillheart Sect's encampment, it could be said that Pillheart Sect's encampment was impregnable. No one dared to provoke them.
Li Baxian's change was naturally because Lu Yiye had been poisoned to death. This was something that everyone was well aware of.
In Jade Blood Sect's encampment, the door to the cultivation room opened. Hua Ci, who had been cultivating in seclusion for several days, walked out and stretched.
Ruan Lingyu was standing outside waiting for her.
Seeing Lingyu, Hua Ci asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Lingyu took a few steps forward and grabbed Hua Ci's hand. She said seriously, "Sister Hua Ci, I have something to tell you. Please don't be agitated."
Hua Ci tilted her head.
Ruan Lingyu looked around and then whispered in Hua Ci's ear, "Lu Ye was poisoned to death."
Hua Ci's body suddenly stiffened. Ruan Lingyu suddenly felt her hands turn cold. Knowing that something was wrong, she hurriedly added, "He faked his death. Lu Ye is actually fine. I asked Second Senior Sister. She said that the Myriad Devil Ridge is watching Lu Ye, so he used this method to temporarily escape from the Myriad Devil Ridge's line of sight. Second Senior Sister also said that there are too many people in our encampment now, so don't expose yourself."
The reason she had been waiting here was to tell Hua Ci the news as soon as possible. Otherwise, Hua Ci would not be able to accept it immediately after hearing it from others. At that time, she might reveal some flaws.
After hearing Ruan Lingyu's words, Hua Ci felt her mood fluctuate violently. She raised her hand and tapped on her battlefield imprint. Sure enough, Lu Ye's imprint did not disappear. She was still worried, so she sent a message out. After receiving a reply, she was relieved.
However, her expression did not change. She even fell to the ground weakly. Her eyes immediately turned red and tears flowed from her eyes.
"Sister Hua Ci!" Ruan Lingyu was frightened. She had already said that Lu Ye faked his death. Why was her reaction so big?
If Lu Ye were here, he would definitely praise Hua Ci's acting skills.
Half a day later, in a secluded place in the encampment of the Jade Blood Sect, Hua Ci gathered some of the sect's core members.
Burning paper money …
The fire burned fiercely. Hua Ci threw paper money into the fire while crying silently.
Chen Yu, Kong Niu, Gu Yang, He Xiyin, Zhu Wenbo, Yin Haoran, and Luo Qisheng were all pulled here. Their expressions were very strange.
They had all been notified in advance and knew that Lu Ye was not dead. However, Hua Ci's eyes were swollen from crying, so they did not know whether Lu Ye was dead or not.
"All of you, cry!" Hua Ci, who was burning paper money, ordered softly.
They looked at each other. Chen Yu was the first to cry bitterly. "Fifth Senior Brother, you died so tragically!"
One after another, cries and shouts sounded. Gu Yang cried and burned paper money while muttering, "My soul has returned, my soul has returned …"
He Xiyin wanted to laugh, but Hua Ci glared at her.
He Xiyin immediately gave in. She rubbed her eyes with both hands and looked like a weeping beauty.
From afar, Feng Yue watched this scene and could not help but cheer. The heavens were good, and good and evil would be repaid!
Ever since she was kidnapped by Lu Ye and cheated of a few thousand merit points, Feng Yue had remained in the Blue Blood Sect. She could not return to the Feng family. The Feng family's base had been lost in her hands, and as the guardian, she had to bear a great responsibility. If she returned to the Feng family, even if she was not executed, she would only end up as a chess piece in a marriage alliance. She would be married off to another cultivation family, with no future to speak of.
This was a result she absolutely could not accept. She was, after all, a guardian. How could she just accept her fate like this?
Although she did not have a status in the Blue Blood Sect, because of her identity as a medical cultivator, the people in the Blue Blood Sect treated her very well. The resources distributed by the Sect were never short of her. Over the past few days, her strength had improved.
The only thing that troubled her was her merit points. She was now an Eighth Order cultivator, about to reach the Ninth Order. Without enough merit points, she could not buy a Heaven Grade Secret Art.
Thinking of the four thousand merit points she had donated, Feng Yue felt wronged. She had saved them to buy a Secret Art …
Fortunately, that hateful Lu Yiye had been poisoned to death. In the future, Hua Ci would be in charge of the Blue Blood Sect. Feng Yue's mood immediately became much better.
In the Mist Province, the main Heaven Expanse Sect was shrouded in gloom. The atmosphere was solemn.
The Heaven Expanse Sect had suffered tremendous losses from the invasion of their station. Although the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators had retreated after Shui Yuan's rampage, rebuilding their station was not a simple matter. At the very least, they had to accumulate enough merit points to set up a defensive Array before they could consider anything else.
Moreover, in order to guard against any ambushes from Myriad Demon Ridge, the Heaven Expanse Sect had forbidden their disciples from entering the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Even the main Spirit Array had been activated, isolating the sect from the outside world. The current Heaven Expanse Sect could be said to be completely sealed off. Outsiders could not enter, and those inside could not leave. Even news could not be transmitted.
This clearly had something to do with the Seal Envoy of the Blue Blood Sect causing a ruckus. This caused the entire Heaven Expanse Sect to criticize the Blue Blood Sect.
Lu Yiye being poisoned to death was not something they wanted to see. The Seal Envoy of the Blue Blood Sect causing a ruckus in the main Heaven Expanse Sect was truly rather unreasonable.
It was said that the battle had injured the great elder, Bai Qian. He was currently recuperating quietly.
Lu Ye, Giant Armor, and Zhao Li were all settled in Bai Qian's residence.
After Shui Yuan's treatment, Giant Armor and Zhao Li both woke up one after another. Giant Armor was fine, but Zhao Li was extremely weak. However, since he could wake up, it meant he was fine. The True Lake realm female medical cultivator had carefully examined Zhao Li's condition and confirmed that there was no poison remaining in his body. His current weakness was only the aftereffects of Shui Yuan's treatment. He only needed to recuperate for a while before he recovered.
This made Yu Xiao and everyone else stop worrying.
In the library, Lu Ye ended his conversation with his second senior sister. His thoughts were scattered.
The development of the situation was completely different from what he had originally imagined.
He had told his second senior sister before that he wanted her and the sect master to put on a show together. Originally, he only wanted the two of them to express their grief, but never did he expect his second senior sister to actually attack Xiao. When he saw Xiao's reaction back then, he was clearly very confused, so he ended up fighting his second senior sister in a daze.
