Now that they thought about it, when Lu Ye's identity was exposed when he was at the Fifth Order Spirit Stream Realm, Grand Heaven Alliance's countless Sects had made a wise move to escort him. If they hadn't done that, Lu Ye would have died long ago. How could Grand Heaven Alliance's morale be so high today?
It could be said that everything was predestined. Looking back now, Lu Ye's actions seemed to be repaying a debt of gratitude for what had happened in the past.
While many Grand Heaven Alliance Masters were sighing with emotion, the various Sects in Myriad Demon Ridge's camp were worried.
If you looked at the Spirit Stream Battlefield and compared the forces of the two factions together, they would be like two dragons on a chessboard. In the past, these two dragons had won and lost, and could be said to be evenly matched, with neither side able to do anything to the other.
However, now it seemed that in a certain area of the Inner Circle, the dragon's spine that belonged to Myriad Demon Ridge had been broken.
The encampments that were breached one by one were like broken bones. Not only were there grade-5 and grade-6 sects, but there were also many grade-4 sects near the core of the encampment. This made the Wanmo Ridge feel pain in their hearts.
There weren't many casualties in these encampments because they had already retreated when they saw Grand Heaven Alliance's army coming. They didn't dare to confront them head-on. However, the blessing on the Heaven's Fate Pillar was gone. It was the result of generations of hard work.
What made them even angrier was that Lu Yiye didn't show any signs of stopping. He wanted to continue like this.
Grand Heaven Alliance was about to succeed. If they didn't think of a way, the Grand Heaven Alliance Army led by Lu Yiye would conquer all the encampments of Myriad Demon Ridge's forces in the Inner Circle in a few months.
By then, even the Core Circle wouldn't be safe.
At this moment, Myriad Demon Ridge deeply felt the horror of having an entire battlefield dominated by one person.
This was something that had never happened in history.
The flames of war ignited in Sky Expanse Sect and Azure Billow Mountain. It was like a prairie fire.
Many Spirit Sea Realm cultivators from Myriad Demon Ridge gathered for an emergency meeting. Soon, they came up with a solution.
The full moon hung in the sky. The alliance army set up camp in the wilderness. There were more than five thousand people in the alliance army. Along the way, the alliance army had conquered dozens of Myriad Demon Ridge encampments.
None of the sects could accommodate so many people, so a few days ago, the alliance army began to set up camp in the wild to recuperate.
Tents of various sizes were scattered throughout the valley, and the largest tent in the center was brightly lit. Led by Lu Ye, more than a dozen Guardian Envoys were gathered together to discuss the next attack plan.
After a short while, the decision was made, and everyone dispersed.
Only Lu Ye and Giant Armor, who was meditating, were left in the tent. The only other person left was Hu Po, who was sleeping soundly.
As the night deepened, the noise in the surroundings slowly subsided. Only the sound of the patrolling cultivators could be heard moving back and forth.
Under the moonlight, several figures quietly approached the tent where Lu Ye was located, all of them not revealing the slightest aura. Even if one looked at their position with the naked eye, one would not be able to see any flaws.
These people were clearly ghost cultivators with extremely high cultivation bases. The fact that they were able to infiltrate this place without being detected by the patrolling cultivators undoubtedly meant that there was something wrong with them.
The current situation on the Spirit Stream Battlefield was far too unfavorable for the Myriad Demon Ridge, and the root of all this was Lu Ye. As long as they could get rid of him, the Myriad Demon Ridge's predicament would be resolved.
This was the most effective and direct method.
These ghost cultivators were selected from the top sects of the Myriad Devil Ridge. They could be said to be the strongest ghost cultivators that the Myriad Devil Ridge could produce. They had high hopes for them.
Attacking Lu Ye in the middle of a military camp of more than five thousand soldiers, even if they succeeded in the end, the chances of these ghost cultivators surviving were not high.
But when they received this mission, they didn't complain at all.
From the standpoint of the Myriad Devil Ridge, Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect was the true source of evil on the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Because of him, dozens of Myriad Devil Ridge forces had already lost their bases, and tens of thousands of miles of land had been dragged into the flames of war. If he did not die, the Myriad Devil Ridge forces in the inner circle would probably be plowed by his army.
There were no cultivators guarding outside Lu Ye's tent, which made the ghost cultivators feel a little uneasy.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if the Myriad Demon Ridge had a character like Lu Ye, then the alliance would have to ensure his safety no matter what. His tent would definitely be heavily guarded.
But the tent in front of them was completely unguarded. Looking at the tent, the ghost cultivators faintly felt that this might be a trap.
But things had already come to this point. Even if it was a trap, they had to give it a try. They were all powerful ghost cultivators. As long as they could enter the tent, they could join forces and attack Lu Yiye together. As for what would happen to them after killing Lu Ye, it was no longer within the scope of their consideration.
Time passed. The ghost cultivators lay in wait quietly, without the slightest impatience.
There were constantly patrolling cultivators going back and forth. There were even cultivators flying above to check the surroundings, but no one could see their whereabouts.
The difference in cultivation was obvious. If these ghost cultivators didn't even have the ability to do this, how could they dare to take on such an important mission?
It wasn't until after midnight that the opportunity finally came.
A tall figure lifted the curtain and walked out of the tent. The ghost cultivators recognized this person. It was the body cultivator called Giant Armor, who had always been by Lu Yiye's side.
It was rumored that this Giant Armor was extremely talented and had an extremely strong physique. He could fight against ten people alone.
They had only heard about it before, but now that they saw it with their own eyes, all the ghost cultivators were shocked. They could clearly feel the exuberant vitality in Giant Armor's body. This kind of physique shouldn't appear in an ordinary Ninth Order cultivator.
Giant Armor didn't know what to do when he came out. He stood at the entrance of the tent and looked up at the sky, scratching his head.
He was a little depressed at the moment. While he was meditating, Lu Ye sent a message to him to come out and specifically told him to remain calm no matter what he saw.
Giant Armor wanted to pretend that he couldn't see …
But the silhouettes of the few figures not far in front of him were so conspicuous that he could only lower his head and not look in that direction. He just lifted the curtain and remained motionless.
The ghost cultivators only hesitated for a moment before they were led into the tent by a man in the lead.
The entire process was soundless, and not even a slight breeze was stirred up.
After all the ghost cultivators passed under his armpits, Giant Armor put down the curtain and walked forward. This was also Lu Ye's order because Lu Ye said that it would be very dangerous for him later.
Inside the big tent, a few ghost cultivators stood still and looked forward.
They saw Lu Yiye of the Blue Blood Sect at a glance.
At this moment, Lu Yiye was sitting on a chair with his legs crossed and his arm resting on the armrest. He supported his cheek with one hand and stared expressionlessly at the leading ghost cultivator.
When their eyes met, the ghost cultivator's heart skipped a beat. Had he been discovered? Impossible! He was confident in his concealment skills. He had once assassinated a Heaven Grade Ninth Master with this skill. Lu Yiye hadn't even cultivated a Heaven Grade Secret Art, so how could he see him?
"Myriad Demon Ridge likes to break the rules so much?"
A faint questioning voice sounded. The ghost cultivators held their breaths and didn't respond. No one knew if the youth opposite them was deliberately mystifying them.
"After the battle at the Golden Light Summit, Fourth Senior Brother told me that the Spirit Stream Battlefield has its own rules. The outer circle's matters are settled by the outer circle's people, and the inner circle's matters are settled by the inner circle's people. I thought that after the previous incident, the Myriad Demon Ridge would learn a lesson, but now it seems that you don't remember the pain."
The ghost cultivators couldn't hold back any longer. No matter how they looked at it, their whereabouts had been exposed. Especially when Lu Ye kept glancing at them as if he was examining their cultivation bases as he spoke.
The leading ghost cultivator took the lead, and the others followed closely behind him.
Boiling killing intent surged in the tent.
With a whoosh, fiery red spirit power exploded behind Lu Ye. He spread his wings and soared into the sky. As he avoided the ghost cultivators' attacks, an array flag appeared in his hand and he waved it lightly.
The scene in front of the ghost cultivators suddenly twisted and changed. Thick fog surged in from all directions and enveloped them, making it difficult for them to determine their direction.
"Bewildering Formation!" one of the ghost cultivators shouted.
The ghost cultivators quickly moved to disperse the surrounding fog, but soon after, they felt their bodies turn cold.
This was because spiritual energy was surging wildly from all directions, and an overwhelming amount of spells and Imperial Artifacts were attacking them from all directions.
The tent was instantly shattered. No matter how strong the ghost cultivators' cultivation bases were, they couldn't surpass the Spirit Stream Realm. How could they possibly survive such a concentrated attack?
A few of them were annihilated on the spot. Only the leading ghost cultivator barely escaped death by relying on a defensive spirit artifact. But before he could catch his breath, the next wave of attacks arrived.
The ghost cultivator revealed a look of despair and was instantly torn apart.
Lu Ye's body slowly descended, and the Guardian Envoys gathered around him. After confirming that he wasn't injured, they relaxed.
"What's their cultivation base?" Zhao Li asked.
These ghost cultivators were able to sneak into Lu Ye's tent without anyone noticing, so they obviously weren't from the inner circle. They must have come from the core circle.
"Five Heavenly Nines!"
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
In order to kill Lu Ye, the Myriad Demon Ridge was really unscrupulous.
Even in the core circle, Heavenly Nines were first-class elites, and they could all advance to the Cloud River Tier at any time.
But now, in order to kill Lu Ye, they had all been buried here. No one knew which sect these five people came from, but those sects were probably heartbroken right now.
"Is the Myriad Demon Ridge really ignoring the rules?" Someone frowned.
"It's not the first time they've ignored the rules."
The last time, the Myriad Demon Ridge had broken the rules, also to target Lu Ye, but at that time, the most important thing was to remove the Jade Blood Sect.
However, the situation was different from the current one.
The Jade Blood Sect's base was now in full swing, and there was no way to remove it. This time, they were targeting Lu Ye himself.
A Guardian Envoys transmitted a few messages, and suddenly said, "There's definite news. Just now, the 39th and 82nd place on the Spirit Stream List were removed."
At the same time that the five Heavenly Nines were killed, the 39th and 82nd place on the Spirit Stream List were removed at the same time. This was obviously not a coincidence.
