As time passed, Lu Ye and the other two followed the principle of moving to a new location after each battle. Almost every day, they would gain at least three hundred hunting points, and as many as five hundred hunting points. Accumulating in this way, the results were extremely impressive.
The ranking on the Hunting List didn't change much, but it was worth mentioning that Xia Liang, who was originally ranked second, had encountered something that caused his Hunting Points to increase very slowly. Now, he was about to fall out of the top ten. Right now, the person in second place was a guy named Tan Sheng.
Lu Ye vaguely remembered that when the Hunting List first appeared, this person's name was on it. From this, it seemed that this person was also a Ninth Order Master.
According to Li Baxian's memories, Tan Sheng was a cultivator from Myriad Demon Ridge. He came from a second-grade Sect and was very strong. At the very least, when he was in the Spirit Stream Realm, he was ranked in the top ten of the Spirit Stream List.
Most of the experts who were active in the Cloudriver Battlefield had once been on the Spirit Stream List. Li Baxian had been in the Spirit Stream Realm for more than ten years, and had seen off batch after batch of Spirit Stream Realm cultivators. He was no stranger to them, and had even fought with many of them.
Even the current True Lake Realm Masters had once had opponents or friends with Li Baxian. It had to be said that after staying in the Spirit Stream Realm for a long time, one's network advantage was difficult for others to match.
Most of the battles they encountered over the past few days were relatively easy because Li Baxian, a Sword Cultivator, could easily injure one or two enemies. Then, Feng Yue Chan would act and Lu Ye would hide and ambush. The battle would basically be settled very quickly.
They also encountered a difficult battle. One of the opponents was a Sixth Order Weapon Cultivator, but Lu Ye took action and cut off his companion. With the three of them working together, the Sixth Order Weapon Cultivator could only swallow his hatred.
No matter who it was, they were all ranked first on the Spirit Stream List and had the ability to kill enemies above their realm. As long as the enemy's background wasn't particularly strong, the three of them could take them down together.
After another battle, Lu Ye looked up at the sky. The Hunting Points behind his name had reached three thousand seven hundred and forty points, leaving the second place Tan Sheng behind by a thousand points. He was truly far ahead.
With such a gap, even Tan Sheng would feel despair.
Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a stream of light that flew straight towards him. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of him and crashed down.
Lu Ye's eyes narrowed.
Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan were also on high alert.
On the back of the three people's hands, a faint blue light began to bloom. On the back of the newcomer's hand, there was a dark red glow.
Lu Ye and the other two felt as if they had been struck by a lightning talisman, and all of them froze in place.
Lu Ye recognized the person who had come.
It was the person who had fought with Xia Qian Qian before. Lu Ye didn't know this person's name, only that he was a Ninth Order cultivator.
Sure enough, if one often walked by the river, their shoes would eventually get wet. Everything had been going smoothly for the past few days, but today, a Ninth Order master had appeared!
It was obvious that the commotion from the battle just now had attracted him here.
Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan stood side by side, secretly channeling their spiritual energy. Lu Ye also had a serious expression. Since Wei Que didn't move, they didn't dare to act rashly.
Wei Que swept his eyes around, looking at Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan, then at Lu Ye. He only saw three different faces, but after catching a glimpse of the amber on Lu Ye's shoulder, Wei Que couldn't help laughing, "Found you!"
Yang Kai was overjoyed. He had been searching for Lu Ye's whereabouts these past few days, but unfortunately, he hadn't found anything. The Hunting Ground was hundreds of thousands of kilometers wide, and there were countless cultivators pouring into it. Finding a single person in this place was extremely difficult.
He could only infer from the daily changes on the Hunting List that Lu Ye hadn't been idle recently; after all, he was gaining a few hundred Hunting Points almost every day, so how could he be idle?
Recently, Yang Kai had made some gains in the Hunting Ground. As a Ninth Order master, he naturally disdained to accompany others and instead wandered around searching for opportunities. He had also obtained a lot of opportunities, even snatching some Spirit Sticks, but his Hunting Points were not many. Currently, he was ranked less than twenty on the Hunting Ground.
Yang Kai didn't expect to win a good ranking on the Hunting List. For him, the most important thing was to find Lu Ye and kill him.
Although the rewards from the Hunting List were good, they were nothing compared to the rewards offered by the major sects in the Myriad Demons Ridge. Those were resources that one could enjoy for the rest of one's life. How could a mere Hunting List compare to them?
Yang Kai's goal from beginning to end was Lu Ye.
Just now, he was just passing by and felt the aftermath of the battle here, so he came to investigate, but he didn't expect to find Lu Ye here.
Although the faces worn were different, the amber was an obvious mark, and the Mountain Coiling Sabre in Lu Ye's hand was also familiar to Wei Que, so how could he not be sure of his identity?
As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Que raised his hand and cast a Spirit Technique.
Although this blow was just a casual one, with a Ninth Order cultivation, even a casual blow was not something Lu Ye could contend with. The Spirit Technique had almost reached Lu Ye as soon as it was formed.
Yang Kai's Spirit Qi surged and a thick Spirit Inscription appeared in front of him.
At the same time, a sword rang out and a series of flying swords flew through the air, slamming into the Spirit Technique and weakening its power.
Li Baxian could tell at a glance that Lu Ye couldn't resist this blow, so he didn't attack Wei Que and instead prioritized saving Lu Ye's life.
Not only did he take action, but Feng Yuechan also attacked.
However, even with the two of them working together, they could only weaken the power of the Spirit Technique and couldn't completely destroy it.
With a bang, Spirit Qi exploded and the Spirit Inscription in front of Lu Ye shattered, the huge impact sending him flying and crashing to the ground.
Wei Que coldly snorted and opened his other hand towards Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan, summoning a huge disc of Spirit Qi. The mysterious lines on this disc flowed and surged, and from this disc, a series of light blue wind blades swept towards Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan.
When he attacked Lu Ye, he held back because he was afraid that Lu Ye would be smashed to pieces; after all, he still needed to exchange Lu Ye's head for the bounty.
When he attacked Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan, he didn't have to worry so much and went all out.
Many flying swords flew back and formed a sword barrier in front of them. Feng Yuechan also activated her Spirit Qi, and mist rose to form a three-foot-tall Cloud Giant in front of them.
The wind blades pierced through the Cloud Giant's body and instantly destroyed the Spirit Technique. Li Baxian's sword barrier couldn't withstand it and only lasted for a moment before it was broken.
At the critical moment, Feng Yuechan summoned an umbrella-like Spirit Tool. The umbrella opened and Spirit Qi surged, forming a shield and blocking the wind blades.
"A Spirit Tool!" Wei Que could tell at a glance that the Spirit Umbrella was famous and secretly guessed Feng Yuechan's identity. After all, a Cloud River Realm cultivator who could use a Spirit Tool definitely had an extraordinary background.
He laughed wildly in his heart. This was really a blessing from the heavens. Not only did he find Lu Yiye, but he also got two good prey. As long as he could kill these three people, he wouldn't have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.
Kill Lu Yiye first!
As this thought flashed through his mind, Wei Que ignored Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan and rushed toward Lu Yiye. As a Spirit Cultivator, he should be able to kill enemies from a distance. However, his cultivation level was a full six levels higher than Lu Yiye's, and Lu Yiye was very important, so he didn't dare to take the risk. If a spell really smashed Lu Yiye to pieces, then there would be no witnesses, and he wouldn't be able to claim the reward.
To be safe, it was better to kill at close range.
However, he had only run a few dozen feet when he saw Lu Yiye, who had fallen to the ground, jump up. At the same time, a spell flag appeared in his hand and he waved it.
There was a buzzing sound, and a layer of light suddenly appeared, instantly turning into a shield. It was like a large inverted bowl, covering a radius of several dozen feet.
Wei Que was caught off guard and was firmly covered.
"A spell formation!"
Wei Que thought to himself. A spell formation had been set up here in advance. Looking at the appearance of this spell formation, it seemed to be a trap!
He couldn't let Lu Yiye escape!
With a thought, Wei Que raised his hand and sent a golden arc towards Lu Yiye's position.
However, Lu Yiye had already turned around and rushed out the moment he activated the Spirit Array. Holding the Array Flag, he rushed out of the light barrier without any hindrance. The golden arc that was chasing him hit the light barrier, but it was blocked by the light barrier, only causing ripples.
This Trap Array was very similar to a Protection Array, but also very different.
If a cultivator was inside a Protection Array, the light barrier would block attacks from the outside.
But if a cultivator was inside a Trap Array, the light barrier would not block attacks from the outside, but attacks from the inside.
In short, the Protection Array defended outside, while the Trap Array defended inside.
The two Spirit Arrays looked the same on the surface, but their effects were completely opposite.
If one wanted to escape, they would have to break the Array.
But Lu Yiye, as the person who set up the Array Flag, was naturally not limited by it.
This was also why he dared to compete for the Hunting List as a Third-Order cultivator.
With the cooperation of Li Baxian and Feng Yue Chan, ordinary Cloud River Realm cultivators were no match for them. Even if they encountered an invincible Master, as long as they could activate the Trap Array here, they could delay the enemy for a while.
And the three of them could take advantage of this opportunity to escape.
The moment the Trap Array appeared, Li Baxian and Feng Yue Chan had already taken to the air and fled into the distance.
Lu Yiye's movements were a little slower, but not by much. He followed closely behind the two, forming a pair of wings and activating Wind Travel. His speed was even faster than Li Baxian's, and he soon caught up.
Wei Que was dumbfounded as he watched Lu Yiye flee. He felt his heart bleeding.
He was so close to killing Lu Yiye and enjoying a lifetime of wealth!
Spirit Qi surged as a series of fierce Spirit Techniques blasted towards the light barrier, causing ripples to appear on the Trap Array's light barrier, and its light quickly dimmed.
Such a big movement naturally could not escape the perception of Lu Yiye and the others, and they fled even faster.
Although the Trap Array was effective, it certainly could not completely trap a Ninth-Order cultivator. At most, it could only delay them for a while. As for how long it could trap them, that would depend on Wei Que's methods.
