Inside the wooden house, Lu Ye couldn't take it anymore, and kicked Yiyi and Hua Ci out.
After checking the Spirit Stream List, he pondered for a moment, then focused his mind on the battlefield imprint. He found Yu Lianzhou's imprint and sent him a message. "Fellow Daoist Yu, do you know anyone ranked after 50th on the Spirit Stream List?"
Soon, Yu Lianzhou replied, "I know most of them, but there are a few I haven't contacted. What's the matter?"
"I want you to help me pass a message to them."
It didn't take long for Yu Lianzhou to understand Lu Ye's intentions. Although he didn't know why, he still replied, "Leave it to me."
If he wanted to get what he wanted from Bai Lan, he couldn't rely on himself. He needed the cooperation of others.
After ending his message with Yu Lianzhou, Lu Ye's mind connected to the Spirit Stream List, and he issued another challenge to Bai Lan!
Aside from some rules, there weren't many restrictions when challenging someone on the Spirit Stream List. Therefore, even though Lu Ye had just admitted defeat, he could still issue another challenge.
On a boulder near the cliff, Bai Lan was talking to her Senior Brother about the details of her fight with Lu Ye. Because her Senior Brother was also on the Spirit Stream List, and was ranked higher than her, Lu Ye would challenge him sooner or later.
If she could get more information about Lu Ye, she would be able to deal with him more easily later on.
Suddenly, there was movement from the battlefield imprint. Bai Lan checked it, and immediately became unhappy. "Lu Yiye is challenging me again. He said he would fight for an hour, but it's only been the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. He went back on his word.
"Just ignore him," the man said with a laugh.
"Yeah, I rejected him."
Bai Lan leaned into her Senior Brother's embrace. Now that she was ranked 50th on the Spirit Stream List, and Lu Yiye had jumped to 48th, she wouldn't have to worry about being challenged by him in the future.
Just as she was thinking about that, the positions of the 48th and 53rd cultivators suddenly swapped. Lu Yiye had jumped to 53rd, and the person who was originally ranked 53rd had replaced Lu Yiye in the 48th position!
The smile on Bai Lan's face gradually stiffened. Something … was wrong!
"Senior Brother!" Bai Lan's voice was trembling.
Such a rapid change in the rankings clearly meant that the cultivator from Grand Heaven Alliance, who was originally ranked 53rd, had challenged Lu Yiye, and was rejected.
Rejecting the challenge was equivalent to admitting defeat, which was why the rankings had swapped.
When Lu Ye was ranked 48th, she was indeed unable to challenge her, but now that she was ranked 53rd, she was qualified to challenge her.
Her Senior Brother was obviously also paying attention to the Spirit Stream List. He immediately realized that something was amiss. "Did he challenge you again?"
"Mm …" Bai Lan really wanted to cry.
Originally, he thought that as long as he was ranked behind Lu Ye, he wouldn't have to worry about being challenged by him. Who would have thought that Lu Ye would have such a bizarre move?
Lu Yiye's attitude was very clear. She would rather drop her ranking than let her go.
They were like maggots that could not be shaken off.
Bai Lan hurriedly refused, and their rankings swapped again. This time, Bai Lan was 53, and Lu Ye was 50. But soon, Lu Ye fell to 55. He had been challenged by the person who was originally 55 …
It wasn't just the two of them who were paying attention to the Spirit Stream List. At the moment, there were many people from both the Myriad Devils Ridge and the Grand Heaven Alliance who were paying close attention to the changes in the Spirit Stream List.
There was no other reason. In the past few days, Lu Ye's ranking had risen too quickly. Many people had been paying attention to him.
Then, numerous pairs of eyes witnessed a bizarre event that had never happened since the Spirit Stream List was created.
Lu Yiye from the Jade Blood Sect and a female cultivator called Bai Lan from the Moistening Rain Sect were constantly moving up and down on the Spirit Stream List. From time to time, their positions would be swapped.
Although some of them were moving up and some were moving down, due to the participation of other cultivators from the Grand Heaven Alliance, their rankings were constantly sliding down. Every time, they would only drop by two or three places, but the frequency was fast. In the blink of an eye, their rankings would change.
In less than the time it took to brew a cup of tea, their rankings had dropped from the top 50 to the bottom 70.
The Spirit Stream List had been broken!
No one had ever done such a thing. It wasn't that such a thing was difficult to achieve, but that everyone who entered the Spirit Stream List had to move forward step by step. Who would want to fall back? The higher one's ranking was, the better the rewards from Tianji. Those were real rewards!
But now, they were witnessing it!
Lu Yiye was retreating. Not only was he retreating, he was also pulling someone else along with him. Others had no choice but to do so.
In the Moistening Rain Sect, Bai Lan's eyes were empty …
She couldn't understand why she was being targeted like this!
If she was guilty, she should have let Tianji punish her, not send Lu Yiye to torture her like this!
There were so many people on the Spirit Stream List, so why did that thug choose her?!
"Junior Sister, pull yourself together, Junior Sister!" The man grabbed Bai Lan's shoulder and shook her vigorously. Looking at his Junior Sister's haggard expression, his heart ached.
"Senior Brother!" Bai Lan cried out.
"Accept his challenge!" the man said in a deep voice.
"But I'm not his match."
"I'm not asking you to fight him. You have four hours to accept his challenge. Keep stalling. I'll think of something."
In the wooden house in the Forest of a Thousand Poisons, Lu Yiye raised his eyebrows. Did he finally accept the challenge?
It seemed like he wanted to stall for time, but it was meaningless.
He held a book in his hand, swallowed a spirit pill, and calmed his heart to cultivate.
At the same time, there were some unfriendly comments about Lu Yiye in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. They said that he was bullying a woman and not a man. They also said that he only knew how to challenge those in the bottom 50 of the Spirit Stream List and liked to bully the weak. If he really had the ability, he should continue to challenge those in the top 50.
There was even a cultivator from the Myriad Devil Ridge who was ranked 34 who said that he was superior to Lu Yiye!
Once these comments were made, many cultivators from the Myriad Devil Ridge who were ranked higher on the list also said that Lu Yiye should hurry up and accept his death.
During this time, the cultivators from the Grand Heaven Alliance were enraptured. Lu Yiye had killed 20 to 30 experts from the Myriad Devil Ridge in just a few days, which made them even more satisfied. They were all looking forward to seeing him reach a higher position and kill even more experts from the Myriad Devil Ridge. Now that there were so many unfriendly comments about Lu Yiye, the Grand Heaven Alliance naturally couldn't stand it.
For a time, the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield was bustling with noise and excitement. All kinds of curses and arguments filled the air, and some of the more irritable ones even began to challenge him.
The rankings of the Spirit Stream List changed so quickly that it was unprecedented …
Communication between cultivators was extremely convenient, so all kinds of news naturally reached Lu Yiye's ears through some channels. He didn't care about it. No matter how much the people from the Myriad Devil Ridge scolded him or provoked him, he wouldn't suffer any real losses. At most, his reputation would be tarnished.
He didn't have a good reputation in the Myriad Devil Ridge.
Every four hours, his and Bai Lan's rankings would change. Every time, Bai Lan would accept a challenge and then ignore him for four hours.
This was the rule of the Spirit Stream List. Lu Yiye had no choice but to wait.
As for the guy ranked 34, Lu Yiye looked at him and found that he was from the same sect as Bai Lan. They were probably fellow disciples. With this kind of relationship, it was understandable that he wanted to stand up for Bai Lan.
And these clamorous comments must have been released by this person.
However, this Moistening Rain Sect was still very good. A second grade sect actually had two people occupying the top 50 of the Spirit Stream List. This was rare even in the Nine Provinces. Previously, Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan's situation was special. They were both from the Pill Heart Sect, but they were able to occupy the top positions of the Spirit Stream List.
In a flash, three days had passed.
Lu Yiye and Bai Lan's rankings had fallen to the bottom of the list. Now, Lu Yiye was ranked 100, and Bai Lan was ranked 97!
If the rankings changed again, one of them would definitely fall out of the Spirit Stream List. As for who would fall out of the list, the answer was self-evident.
In the Moistening Rain Sect's station, Bai Lan's eyes were red and swollen. She had been under a lot of pressure for the past few days, and had barely rested.
"Senior Brother!" Bai Lan lowered her head in guilt.
In front of her, the man placed a storage pouch in Bai Lan's hand. "There are twenty Earthcore Flames inside. When you give it to him, remember to make him swear a Heavenly Secret Oath that he will not make things difficult for you in the future!"
"Senior Brother, I …"
The man raised his hand to stop her. "There are only a few days left until the reward is bestowed by Heavenly Secret. If you fall out of the list at this time, then all your previous accumulations will go to waste. This item was given by our sect. The Sect Master and Second Elder both want to keep the peace and do their best to protect your reward from Heavenly Secret. If you lose face, then so be it. There will be a chance to get it back in the future."
If the ranking on the Spirit Stream List was just an empty title, then it would be fine. No one would feel bad if they fell out of the list. However, the ranking on the Spirit Stream List was related to the reward from Heavenly Secret. For Spirit Stream Stage cultivators, it was a rare benefit. No one would easily miss it.
There were only a few days left until Heavenly Secret would bestow the reward to Bai Lan. If they fell out of the list at this time, it would be too much of a loss.
Four thousand merit points was not a small amount. However, compared to the future of an elite disciple, it was nothing. As a second grade sect, the Moistening Rain Sect could naturally afford it.
"He hasn't challenged you yet, right?" the man asked again.
"Yes."
"It seems that he is giving you time to prepare. This is the final ultimatum."
Lu Yiye was currently ranked in the top 100. If he challenged her again, Bai Lan would fall to the top 100. Then, if Lu Yiye manipulated her a little, she would easily fall out of the list. When he challenged her again, Bai Lan's name would completely disappear from the Spirit Stream List.
Even if she had the chance to re-enter the list, the time she had accumulated before would be nullified. She would have to start counting again for a month.
"So, you have to make things clear with him later. Then, try your best to reach the highest rank in the shortest time possible. Leave the rest to me. I will definitely make Lu Yiye pay the price!"
Bai Lan wanted to say that Senior Brother might not be a match for that thug. However, she was afraid of hurting Senior Brother's self-esteem.
"He challenged me!" Bai Lan's expression suddenly changed as she checked the battlefield imprint.
"Go."
Bai Lan nodded and grabbed the storage bag with the twenty Earthcore Flames. She calmed her mind, chose the terrain, and accepted the challenge.
