The leader of the group immediately sensed that something was wrong. He didn't know what they had encountered this time, but it was obvious that their group had been poisoned by an extremely subtle poison. Before the poison took effect, no one had noticed it.
This caused people to panic.
His first reaction was to quickly leave this place, but as soon as he thought this, he felt his spiritual power dissipate. He instinctively reached out to grab Hua Ci. "Save …"
His eyes suddenly widened. In his field of vision, more than a dozen red lights flew from all directions and landed on the back of the medical cultivator's hand.
He was all too familiar with this situation. It was the sign of merit points after killing an enemy.
The more than a dozen people who had died from the poison were all killed by this medical cultivator!
The young man's eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Hua Ci in horror. "You …"
He suddenly lowered his head and looked at his hand. He had grabbed the female medical cultivator's arm in a moment of desperation, but at this moment, his hand had completely lost all feeling.
He suddenly remembered what the female medical cultivator had said before coming in … This time, he had really handed his life over to her.
"Why?" The young man gritted his teeth and asked. He really couldn't understand why this female medical cultivator would want to kill their group when they had no enmity with each other.
Hua Ci smiled gently. "I forgot to introduce myself. I'm a disciple of the Jade Blood Sect!"
The young man's pupils suddenly contracted and his expression changed. He didn't know if he wanted to cry or laugh.
A disciple of the Jade Blood Sect …
He had actually brought a medical cultivator from the Jade Blood Sect into the Forest of a Thousand Poisons to search for traces of Lu Yiye. No wonder she would secretly kill them.
However, how could someone from the Jade Blood Sect appear so brazenly outside the Forest of a Thousand Poisons? He was now full of regret that he hadn't checked Hua Ci's camp at that time. However, at that time, he didn't realize that he needed to check this information at all.
"I'll kill you!" While his consciousness was blurred, the young man used all his strength to raise his hand and slap Hua Ci.
Hua Ci only took a few steps back lightly, causing the palm to hit nothing but air.
Thump …
The young man's body fell heavily to the ground. A red light flew out and landed on the back of Hua Ci's hand.
Looking at the corpses around her, Hua Ci couldn't help but feel a trace of unreality … She knew that the inheritance she had obtained was very powerful, but now it seemed that this inheritance was even more powerful than she thought.
In the past, she only had a variety of mushroom methods to deal with enemies. Those methods were effective against low level cultivators, but when the cultivator's cultivation level gradually increased, those methods would be very difficult to be effective. This was because she had to plant the mushrooms. If the cultivator flew, it would be very difficult for her methods to be effective.
However, after she obtained the complete inheritance, her killing methods were not limited to mushrooms. As long as she wanted to, she could poison people anytime and anywhere.
These Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators had been traveling with her for such a long time, and they had long been silently poisoned by her.
Hua's's's's's right.'s's's's's's's
Who said medical cultivators's,'s, Hua?
Dispersing her protective spiritual energy, Hua Ci breathed in the poisonous fog around her. The poisonous fog, which the cultivators of the core region avoided, was even better than the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to Hua Ci. Her mouth was full of a sweet fragrance …
She calmed herself down and walked with light steps, picking up the storage pouches scattered around her.
After a while, Hua Ci left, leaving behind corpses that were rapidly corroding.
…
In the depths of the Myriad Poisons Forest, Lu Ye, who was being carefully nursed back to health under Yiyi's care, suddenly looked down at the back of his hand. There was a strange feeling in the battlefield imprint.
He hurriedly checked it.
It wasn't a message from someone, but a challenge!
Only then did Lu Ye remember that it had been three days since he had entered the Spirit Stream List.
His second senior sister had mentioned this matter when she had sent a message to him.
Cultivators who entered the Spirit Stream List for the first time had three days to adjust. After three days, they would be qualified to challenge those with a higher rank, and be challenged by those with a lower rank.
In other words, cultivators who entered the Spirit Stream List for the first time wouldn't be challenged for three days, nor would they be able to challenge others.
The scope of the challenge was that the difference in rank didn't exceed five places.
For example, Lu Ye was currently ranked thirty-third, so the strongest person he could challenge was the one ranked twenty-seventh. Correspondingly, cultivators ranked thirty-eighth to thirty-fourth could challenge him, but thirty-ninth couldn't, because there was a gap of five places between them.
Challenges to the Spirit Stream List were very interesting matters. Because of the participation and maintenance of the Heavenly Secrets, there were various rules that couldn't be broken.
Such challenges didn't need to be fought face to face. After all, most Spirit Stream Stage cultivators were active in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, and some stayed in the Nine Prefectures. If someone was hiding in their own base or sect, there was no way to challenge them face to face.
Such matters could be initiated with the help of the battlefield imprint, and the Heavenly Secrets would naturally operate within it, making it very convenient.
Take this moment for example. Lu Ye didn't know who had issued a challenge through the battlefield mark, but he had four hours to prepare. During this time, he could adjust himself to his peak condition and meet his opponent head-on.
When the time came, the Heavenly Secrets would send Lu Ye and the challenger into a special small space for them to fight. Furthermore, there were many different terrains to choose from in such a small space. If someone challenged Lu Ye, the choice would be in Lu Ye's hands. He could choose the terrain that would allow him to display his advantage.
If Lu Ye challenged someone else, the choice would be in their hands.
Of course, if he was challenged, he could also refuse.
However, if he refused, it would be the same as losing the battle, and the challenger would replace him on the Spirit Stream List.
Lu Ye had only heard of such things, but had never experienced it. Suddenly being challenged was a bit unexpected.
However, after thinking about it, he realized that the Myriad Devil Ridge was probably getting impatient. He had been hiding in the Myriad Poisons Forest, and the Myriad Devil Ridge was too far away to reach him. Furthermore, he hadn't been poisoned to death, so they wanted to use this method to investigate his situation. If possible, they wanted to use this method to kill him. That way, they wouldn't have to take the risk of entering the Myriad Poisons Forest.
After carefully examining the various information transmitted by the battlefield imprint, Lu Ye found that the situation was the same as what his second senior sister had said. He had two choices. One was to accept the challenge, and the other was to refuse.
Lu Ye muttered to himself for a moment, and with a thought, he accepted the challenge. Mysteries of heaven descended from the unseen world, and more information emerged from the battlefield imprint.
At present, he had four hours to prepare. In addition, he could also choose the terrain of the battle.
After examining the terrain, general information about the unique small spaces immediately appeared in Lu Ye's mind, including the unique landforms of these small spaces, their sizes, and so on …
There were more than a hundred of these small spaces, including ruins, wilderness, deserts, forests, and oceans.
The areas they occupied also varied in size. The large ones covered a radius of several miles, while the small ones only covered a radius of a few hundred feet …
Since it was his first time experiencing such a thing, Lu Ye naturally wanted to obtain more information.
He tried to use the imprint to investigate the challenger's information, but unfortunately, he didn't find anything. For some unknown reason, heaven's secrets had an invisible protection for the challenger.
He checked the Spirit Stream List again, and glanced at the five people ranked between the 34th and 38th places.
Among the five people, three were from the Myriad Devil Ridge, and two were from the Grand Heaven Alliance. All of them had the cultivation of the Ninth Heaven Realm. The one who challenged him was definitely one of the three from the Myriad Devil Ridge.
Yiyi curiously looked at him from the side. "Lu Ye, is someone looking for you?"
"No, someone challenged me on the Spirit Stream List," Lu Ye casually replied.
"Someone challenged you?" Yiyi was surprised. "You accepted?"
"I accepted."
"But your current state …" Yiyi's face was filled with worry. Although three days had passed, the aftereffects of Lu Ye using the Fire Phoenix had yet to disappear. His body was very weak, and he might not even be able to use half of his usual strength.
"I'm not going to fight with him. I'm just looking."
Accepting the opponent's challenge didn't mean that he had to fight with the opponent. When the four hours were up, he could just admit defeat and be done with it.
At most, his ranking on the Spirit Stream List would be replaced by someone else.
Hearing Lu Ye's words, Yiyi felt relieved.
Lu Ye then looked at the top ten cultivators on the Spirit Stream List. All of them were from First Rank Sects in various parts of the Nine Prefectures. After roughly scanning the list, Lu Ye found that the top fifteen were all from First Rank Sects. After that, there were cultivators from Second Rank Sects.
After the fiftieth place, there were cultivators from Third Rank Sects, and there weren't many of them.
Lu Ye saw Yu Lianzhou's name. He was ranked seventh on the Spirit Stream List, which could be said to be very high.
The first on the list was a guy called Shi Guang from the Tian Continent's Dao Profound Sect. He didn't know if he used to be fourth on the list.
Yan Xing, the second on the list, had died. Feng Yuechan and Li Baxian had both advanced to the Cloud River Realm. The three malignant tumors of the Spirit Stream List had been removed, and the fourth on the list had automatically been promoted to the first on the list. In fact, he should be thanking Lu Ye. If Lu Ye hadn't bought two sets of Supplement Aperture Pills for Li Baxian, that guy probably wouldn't have been able to reach the first position on the list.
After figuring out the Spirit Stream List, Lu Ye withdrew his thoughts and continued to cultivate.
While cultivating, he didn't waste any time. He took out a book he had taken from Madam Yun and started to study it. At the same time, he continuously swallowed Spirit Pills to cultivate.
Because of the protective array, it wasn't convenient for him to construct a Spirit Gathering Array, nor was it convenient for him to construct Spirit Gathering Runes in his spiritual cavities. If the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth flowed too quickly, it would cause the poison in the surroundings to corrode the array and increase the burden on the array.
Fortunately, even though he was only swallowing Spirit Pills, his cultivation speed wasn't slow. It could even be said that swallowing Spirit Pills was his main method of cultivation.
Soon, the four-hour time limit was up.
Lu Ye's mind was connected to the battlefield imprint, and he directly forfeited the battle.
Looking at the Spirit Stream List again, he had fallen from the thirty-third place to the thirty-seventh place. The Myriad Devil Ridge cultivator had taken his place.
Lu Ye narrowed his eyes slightly, remembering the name and origin of that person.
Before he could withdraw his thoughts, the imprint transmitted a message that someone had challenged him.
Lu Ye accepted the challenge as usual. Then, he left it to the side.
At the same time, a piece of news quickly spread through the Myriad Devil Ridge camp. In the Spirit Stream List challenge, Lu Yiye had avoided the battle. It seemed that his situation wasn't good!
