Lu Ye even suspected that the reason this overlord-level demoness was so powerful was because she had been absorbing the True Phoenix Fire's energy all year round.
If that was the case, then the True Phoenix Fire must be fatally attractive to this demoness.
Seeing this demoness, Lu Ye immediately activated his wind-elemental spirit tattoo to strengthen the spirit boat, increasing its speed by another level.
However, the aura chasing after him was rapidly closing in.
Lu Ye turned to look, and the corners of his eyes twitched.
He saw that the demoness had caught up to him first, running neck to neck with him.
She was a bird-type Yao and had the strength of an overlord-level beast. Even if Lu Ye activated his wind-elemental spirit tattoo, he couldn't beat her in speed unless he activated his Flight Wing Tattoo. However, his Flight Wing Tattoo's time limit was up, so he couldn't use it anymore.
What made Lu Ye feel slightly relieved was that although the demoness had caught up, she didn't seem to have any intention of attacking.
"That fire!" the demoness suddenly said, looking at Lu Ye with her crimson eyes.
Lu Ye's heart tightened, and he pressed his hand on the Mountain Plate Saber, waiting for the demoness to ask something he couldn't answer. He had to save Yiyi and the others, so he didn't have time to waste with this demoness. As for whether he could beat her … the chances were slim, but if he used all his cards, it wouldn't be easy for the demoness to deal with him.
"I didn't find it!"
It would be strange if she found it. The True Phoenix Fire had been swallowed by the Talent Tree long ago, and there would probably be no more fiery places in the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
"I didn't see it either," Lu Ye said calmly. "Are you mistaken?"
"Impossible."
From the beginning to the end, she did not suspect that it was Lu Ye who had destroyed the flame, because in her opinion, Lu Ye was much weaker than her. Even she could not easily obtain the flame, so how could Lu Ye do it?
"You can't feel it now?"
The demoness shook her head, looking a little disappointed.
Lu Ye thought for a moment, then said, "It's like this. There are many treasures in this world that have developed their own spirituality after a long time. Those who are fated can easily obtain them, while those who are unfated can't even see them. Since you're sure there's a fire there, but we didn't see it, maybe we're not fated."
"Fated?"
"Yes, fated."
The demoness fell into deep thought. Her fiery red wings flapped from time to time. It looked like she wasn't using her full strength, but Lu Ye was still unable to shake her off.
After thinking for a long time, she suddenly said, "Is that ball of fire still there? Is it avoiding me? "
I didn't say anything!
The demoness suddenly stopped and turned around to fly towards the land of fire. It looked like she was sure that the ball of fire was still there and was just hiding from her so that she could not see it.
Lu Ye sighed as he watched the demoness disappear.
The Creator was indeed fair. When he bestowed some things, he would deprive others. With the Demoness' intelligence, it was fortunate that she was strong enough. Otherwise, she would have died long ago.
The unexpected interlude didn't affect Lu Ye too much. He continued on his way, heading straight for the Forest of a Thousand Poisons.
Judging from the map, it would take him less than two days to reach the Forest of a Thousand Poisons if he flew with the Wind Travel Spiritual Tattoo. But without the Wind Travel Spiritual Tattoo, it would take him twice as long.
It was impossible for Lu Ye to maintain the Wind Travel Spirit Rune all the time because doing so would consume too much spirit energy and he wouldn't be able to bear it.
If he didn't maintain the Wind Travel Spiritual Tattoo, he could barely keep up with the consumption of spirit energy. Even if he consumed more spirit energy, he could still use the Rest Fruit Wine.
He continuously stuffed spirit pills into his mouth and refined them. From time to time, he would activate the Wind Travel Spiritual Tattoo to increase his speed.
At the same time, more than 3,000 cultivators from the Myriad Demon Ridge had gathered around the Forest of a Thousand Poisons. As time passed, more cultivators continued to gather.
In the Hidden Fog Mountain, the failure of the Ye League had already spread. So many people had chased after Lu Yiye, but in the end, not only had they failed, but hundreds of them had also died. It was simply unbelievable.
This was not a failure of a certain sect. This was the face of the entire Myriad Demon Ridge being trampled on by Lu Yiye.
It also made the Myriad Demon Ridge completely realize that if they didn't get rid of Lu Yiye now, it would really be too late.
In the pursuit of Lu Yiye in the Hidden Fog Mountain, many first-grade sects and cultivators on the Spirit Stream List didn't participate because of their status. However, it was different this time. Among the cultivators gathered outside the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, there were more than 20 cultivators on the Spirit Stream List. The strongest one was ranked in the thirties.
There were even rumors that the top ten cultivators were hiding in the dark, waiting for Lu Yiye to appear so they could give him a fatal blow.
This time, there were even more cultivators from the Myriad Demon Ridge than last time. Compared to the pursuit of Lu Yiye in the Hidden Fog Mountain, the situation was undoubtedly on the Myriad Demon Ridge's side.
The Hidden Fog Mountain was vast and boundless, and the environment was special. If Lu Yiye hid inside, it would be difficult to find him. Even if they found him, they might not be his match.
However, the Forest of a Thousand Poisons was different. The Forest of a Thousand Poisons covered a much smaller area than the Hidden Fog Mountain. The Myriad Demon Ridge had plenty of people and could surround the entire Forest of a Thousand Poisons.
As a result, those who were surrounded would not be able to escape. For example, Giant Armor and Yiyi, who were currently trapped.
As for whether they would continue to hide and not come out, there was no need to worry. The Forest of a Thousand Poisons was filled with poison. Even if they could hold on for a while, they could not hold on forever. The only result of hiding and not coming out was death from the poison.
It was precisely because they realized this that the Myriad Demon Ridge wanted to enter the Forest of a Thousand Poisons and capture Giant Armor alive.
It was not easy to block Giant Armor, so they could not let him die in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons. Otherwise, they would not have the capital to restrain Sect Destroyer Ye.
Capturing Giant Armor alive and forcing Lu Yiye to appear was the Myriad Demon Ridge's plan!
The detoxification pills and poison-repelling treasures collected from all over the Forest of a Thousand Poisons were in place. With the cooperation of the various parties of the Myriad Demon Ridge, groups of people entered the Forest of a Thousand Poisons from all directions to search for Giant Armor.
Soon, news came that a team had encountered Giant Armor and Lu Yiye's white tiger mount. Unfortunately, they were unable to capture him alive and he had escaped.
The Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators were in high spirits and continued to suppress Giant Armor's living space, trying to force him out. During this period, Giant Armor tried to escape on his artifact several times, but he was beaten back by the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who sealed off the sky.
For a time, the Forest of a Thousand Poisons seemed to have become a hopeless situation.
News that made the Myriad Demon Ridge even more excited came.
Lu Yiye had appeared!
He was less than half a day's journey away from the Forest of a Thousand Poisons and was rushing over.
When the news spread, the Myriad Demon Ridge was overjoyed, knowing that their previous plan had worked. Immediately, many cultivators retreated from the Forest of a Thousand Poisons and stood guard outside the forest. They set up many traps and waited for Lu Yiye to walk into the trap.
There were even more impatient ones who directly approached Lu Yiye, clearly wanting to kill him.
Only half a day's journey away from the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, Lu Yiye was flying on his artifact with a stream of light following behind him.
If he rushed over so openly, his whereabouts would inevitably be exposed. Moreover, he had never thought of hiding his whereabouts.
He knew very well what the Myriad Demon Ridge's plan was. He did not know how Yiyi and Giant Armor were doing. When he asked, Yiyi only said that everything was fine.
Obviously, she was not telling the truth.
Now that he was attracting some Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators here, the pressure on Yiyi and the others in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons would be less.
There were dozens of Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators following behind him. Just like when they were being chased previously, there were constantly people falling behind and people joining the ranks of the pursuers.
Lu Yiye did not intend to be entangled with them. Right now, his spirit energy was precious and it was not good to waste it here.
As he chased, he swept past a forest. Suddenly, Lu Yiye sensed something and looked down. What entered his eyes was a burst of sword light. The endless sword light gathered into a sword dragon and attacked the pursuers behind him with cold killing intent.
Along with the sword light that blotted out the sky and covered the earth, there were also more than ten figures dressed in plain clothes.
"Beixuan Sword Sect!" Someone among the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators who were chasing Lu Yiye shouted in panic.
Lu Yiye immediately stopped and changed direction to kill the pursuers behind him. Before he arrived, nine streams of light shot out from the weapon box.
Previously, he was unwilling to be entangled with the pursuers because he was alone. Even if he could kill some of them, it would be difficult for two fists to fight against four hands. However, it was different now that he had help.
Moreover, the helpers were more than ten sword maniacs who were known for their killing.
Sword light surged and exploded, and miserable screams were heard continuously. Although there were many Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators chasing after them, they were still afraid of the Beixuan Sword Sect's sword maniacs.
One had to know that these sword maniacs' sword control technique was known as the number one killing technique in the Nine Prefectures.
Moreover, Lu Yiye was also involved. Compared to the Beixuan Sword Sect's sword cultivators, Lu Yiye's killing speed was not slow at all.
After a hasty exchange of blows, there were many casualties. Only a dozen people managed to escape in time, and all of them were injured. The rest were all killed on the spot.
Being ambushed by a group of sword maniacs was definitely not a good ending.
With a clang, nine streams of light flew into the weapon box. Lu Yiye shook off the blood on the Mountain Pan Saber and sheathed it. He looked at the sword cultivator in the lead.
He actually knew him.
On top of the golden light, Li Baxian had instructed this person to protect Lu Yiye. However, this person's cultivation was not very high at that time, but now, he was in the Nine Heavens Realm.
Lu Yiye remembered that this person's name was Yu Lianzhou.
"Greetings, Uncle-Master Lu!" Yu Lianzhou bowed solemnly, and so did the ten-odd sword cultivators behind him.
Lu Yiye hurriedly raised his hand to stop them. "Don't call me Uncle-Master, you're making me sound old. I'm not as old as you guys."
In terms of seniority, Li Baxian was one generation higher than them. Li Baxian was Lu Ye's Fourth Senior Brother, so it was not strange that they would address Lu Ye as Uncle-Master.
In fact, there were only a few cultivators in the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield who were of the same generation as Lu Ye.
Back when Shuiyuan went to the main sect of the Heaven Expanse Sect, the Sect Master of the Heaven Expanse Sect, Yu Xiao, even addressed Shuiyuan as Senior Sister. Cultivators had long lifespans, so most of the time, seniority was not easy to calculate. Unless they were on very good terms with each other, they would address each other as Senior Brother.
"You guys are related to my Fourth Senior Brother, so it's not appropriate for us to address each other as fellow Daoists."
"Fellow Daoist Lu," Yu Lianzhou said.
"Why are you guys here?" Lu Yiye asked. It was clearly not a coincidence that he would run into these sword cultivators here.
