Inside the cave, Lu Ye had refined enough formation flags and everything was ready. Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan had also fully recovered.
The three of them stood up. Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan each took out an item and stuck it on their faces.
Lu Ye looked over and saw a smiling boy with red lips and white teeth pasted on Li Baxian's face. Feng Yuechan, on the other hand, had an aggrieved girl's face with tear stains on her face.
Li Baxian also took out a mask and gave it to Lu Ye, "Junior Brother, wear this. It'll make things easier."
Lu Ye silently took out a ferocious-looking demon's mask from his storage space and put it on his face.
Li Baxian was taken aback and laughed, "So Junior Brother was already prepared."
All of them were easy targets for the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge. At this moment, everyone had a tacit understanding and were prepared to face each other.
After exiting the cave, they concealed their auras and randomly chose a direction to go.
Although they wanted to compete for the Hunting List, their main goal was to protect themselves. As such, they couldn't go too far from the cave. Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to escape in time if they encountered danger.
As long as they weren't too far from the cave, even if they encountered an expert they couldn't defeat, they could escape with the teleportation formation if they returned to the cave.
Ten to twenty li was the limit.
Search!
With the restriction of distance, they naturally couldn't take the initiative to attack. As such, they could only wait.
As they moved forward, Lu Ye told them his thoughts. Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan both agreed. The rewards on the Hunting List were tempting, but they couldn't take them without being alive to spend them. There was nothing wrong with playing it safe. Taking the initiative to attack would give them more opportunities, but it was also accompanied by greater risks.
With the general idea set, the next step was convenient.
After an incense stick's worth of time, Lu Ye stopped less than twenty li away from the cave. He looked around for a moment and nodded to Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan.
Without saying anything, the two quickly went in different directions to be on guard. At the same time, Yiyi also flashed out of Hu Po's body and rushed in another direction.
Lu Ye was left alone. He took out formation flags one by one and began to arrange a formation.
This time, the main purpose of the formation was not to kill the enemy, but to trap the enemy. In this way, if they really encountered an enemy that they could not defeat, they could use the formation to delay the enemy's pursuit.
It wasn't the kind of array that could be triggered, either. Instead, it needed to be actively controlled. This way, it could ensure that the array could be activated at a critical moment.
Lu Ye, who had been alerted in advance, hurriedly hid himself so that he would not be exposed.
Two hours later, several large formations were set up.
Everything was ready, and the few of them waited quietly.
The Hunting Ground had been open for more than three days. Now, most of the cultivators moving in the Hunting Ground were in groups of three to five. Although the benefits obtained by doing so would be shared equally, the risk would also be reduced.
Those who still acted alone were at least at the Seventh Order Realm. Only cultivators above the Seventh Order Realm who had enough confidence in their own strength would act as lone wolves.
Time passed, and the surroundings were quiet.
On the Hunting List hanging high in the sky, the rankings of the Masters were constantly changing. Xia Liang, who was ranked second, was catching up step by step. The gap between him and Lu Ye was getting smaller and smaller, and it seemed that he would soon surpass Lu Ye's ranking and return to the top.
Two hours passed, four hours passed …
It was indeed not easy for them to encounter enemies by simply waiting for their prey. Although the number of cultivators in the hunting ground was not small, the hunting ground was also very big. Additionally, everyone was acting cautiously. No one would easily expose themselves. That was especially true of the ghost cultivators. They came and went without a trace.
Suddenly, a glimmer of light appeared in Lu Ye's eyes. He looked up and saw a bright white light under a big tree not far from him.
What was certain was that this white light had not appeared a moment ago. It had suddenly appeared.
Lu Ye understood that this was an opportunity left behind by the Heavens. He had encountered it before and obtained a white Spirit Stick from it.
[So this is how this kind of opportunity is born …] Lu Ye now had a better understanding of the cruelty of the Heavens.
In the Hunting Ground, the Heavens would choose a person every day and bestow a golden Spirit Stick. Every day, there would be a Spirit Stick descending from the sky. There were also various opportunities that would appear from time to time, and the Hunting List hanging high in the sky that everyone could see …
These various benefits and fortuitous encounters would cause the cultivators to fight and kill each other. The workings of the heavens were like a pair of invisible hands that pushed the cultivators to fight each other from behind the scenes, causing the blood of cultivators to spill all over the hunting grounds.
"Little Junior Brother …"
Li Baxian sent a message.
Lu Ye replied, "I see it."
He had thought that it would be difficult to encounter enemies by waiting like this, but now that there was such an opportunity here, he thought that it would not be long before someone came.
It turned out that this was indeed the case. After only a cup of tea's time, four sneaky figures appeared in front of Lu Ye's eyes.
These four people were extremely careful. They were in groups of two and sneaked over from different directions. However, they did not have the means of ghost cultivators, so they could not hide their whereabouts. At most, they could only try their best to restrain their aura to reduce the possibility of being exposed.
The four of them did not approach the white light immediately. Instead, they searched from the outside to the inside bit by bit.
Under such caution, ordinary means could not be hidden at all. Fortunately, Lu Ye had set up a concealment formation at Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan's location. As long as the other party's perception was not ridiculously strong, there was a high chance that they would not be discovered.
As for Lu Ye himself, with the concealment spirit rune, it could be said that he was a ghost cultivator at this moment.
Two of the four people walked past three feet in front of Lu Ye without noticing, while the other two went straight to Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan's location.
"Little Junior Brother, I'm ready to make my move." Li Baxian sent another message.
Lu Ye did not reply. There was no need to reply.
As long as there were not too many of these cultivators in groups, he was not afraid. This was because only cultivators with low strength would travel in groups. If he encountered a lone wolf, he would need to be the most vigilant.
A cold light suddenly bloomed. Accompanied by the sound of a sword, Li Baxian's hidden figure was exposed. More than a dozen flying swords surged around him and shot out towards one of the cultivators in an instant.
This sudden turn of events gave the four people here a fright, especially the two who were heading towards Li Baxian. Their expressions changed greatly as they felt the piercing killing intent. All the hairs on their bodies stood on end. One of them immediately shouted, "Ambush!"
He immediately summoned his spirit artifact and faced the sword light.
When Li Baxian made his move, he did not know which faction the other party belonged to, but this did not matter. As a sword cultivator who had been in the Spirit Stream Realm for more than a decade, he could control his flying swords freely.
The moment he made his move, his figure was exposed and the other party's faction could be determined.
If the other party was also from Grand Heaven Alliance, Li Baxian could naturally guarantee that he would not injure them, but if the other party was from Myriad Demon Ridge, the dozen flying swords he used to ambush them would definitely make the first move.
Almost at the same time as this person shouted, the battle marks on the back of their hands burst out with blue and red light.
Li Baxian was not only observing the other party's battle marks, but also their cultivation. No one would dare to be careless in such a sudden attack. They would definitely erupt with their full strength to meet the attack. This way, the other party's cultivation could be seen at a glance.
When the two of them made their move, Li Baxian was relieved. A Fifth-Order and a Fourth-Order were nothing in his eyes.
The other two people not far from Lu Ye also reacted immediately. One of them was burly and brimming with vitality. He should be a Body Cultivator. He immediately rushed towards Li Baxian. The other person's Spirit Qi surged as a Spirit Technique took shape in front of him. This person was a Dharma Cultivator.
The Body Cultivator had only taken a few steps when he saw a scene that shocked him.
More than a dozen sword lights were blocked by his two companions, but even more sword lights continued to fly towards him.
Before determining which camp the other party belonged to, Li Baxian naturally could not use his full strength. The dozen or so flying swords were just a test. After confirming that the other party was from Myriad Demon Ridge, he began to exert his strength again. This was far from his limit.
When he was in the Spirit Stream Realm, he could already control a hundred flying swords. Now that he was a Fourth-Order Cloud River Realm cultivator, the number of flying swords he could control would only increase.
Sword Cultivators were known for their murderous nature, so under such a sneak attack, unless one's cultivation was higher than his by two Orders, it was impossible to resist.
The sword lights swept across, breaking through the Spirit Qi shields of the two men and piercing through their bodies, causing blood to spurt from their wounds.
The Cloud River Realm was a realm with a great disparity in strength. Although these two barely had the foundation of a Fourth-Order or Fifth-Order, Li Baxian's foundation was undoubtedly incomparable.
In just a single exchange, a Fourth-Order and a Fifth-Order were almost killed on the spot. If it were not for Lu Ye keeping them alive, these two would have already died.
The Body Cultivator who rushed towards Li Baxian only felt his blood run cold as he stared at the smiling boy's face, wondering where this monster had come from.
He instinctively stopped, but didn't expect a bolt of lightning to strike him from the side, causing him to tremble all over.
Turning his head to look, he saw that a woman had appeared at some point. This woman was wearing a pitiful child mask with tear stains on her face, forming a sharp contrast with the boy's face.
There was more than one person lying in ambush here, or even more than two!
The Body Cultivator was shocked.
At the same time, the last Body Cultivator shouted, "Run!"
The spell cultivator had just finished casting his spell, and seeing that his companion couldn't withstand a single blow, he didn't dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly threw the spell at Feng Yuechan, and the spirit energy around him surged as he prepared to fly into the sky.
However, in the end, he was unable to fly. His body was less than a foot off the ground when a huge force fell from the sky, accompanied by a sharp slash.
The fiery red sword light split open the Body Cultivator's Spirit Qi barrier and left a huge wound on his back. The Body Cultivator fell heavily to the ground, his soul almost leaving his body.
There was actually someone behind him!
