Inside the Entrapment Array, powerful Secret Techniques were constantly being unleashed, causing the surrounding World Energy to become chaotic and the light curtain to dim at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Although Lu Ye had used eight array bases and several Array Flags to arrange this Entrapment Array, because it hadn't been laid out for a long time and was only powered by Spirit Stones, its strength wasn't very high.
The strength of a formation was related to the amount of spiritual energy stored in the formation, as well as the concentration of Heaven and Earth spiritual energy in the area where the formation was set up. The more spiritual energy stored in the formation, the more concentrated the Heaven and Earth spiritual energy would be, and the stronger the formation would be.
Therefore, such a Entrapment Array was at its weakest when it was first arranged because it didn't have enough World Energy to store. Even with Spirit Stones, it wouldn't last long.
But as time passed, the World Energy stored in the Spirit Array would increase and its power would grow until it reached a certain peak.
The biggest advantage of the Spirit Array that trapped Wei Que was its small coverage area, only a few dozen metres in diameter, which in turn increased the strength of the Spirit Array.
However, it still couldn't stop a mere Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivator.
In less than twenty breaths of time, the light curtain of the Entrapment Array completely dimmed and shattered.
Wei Que shot up into the sky and chased after the direction Lu Ye and the others had fled.
This was a rare opportunity, so how could he let Lu Ye escape? This time, he had been lucky enough to encounter Lu Ye, but would he be so lucky next time?
Facing a few Third or Fourth Order cultivators, even if he let them escape twenty breaths ahead of him, Wei Que was confident he could catch up.
Looking from afar, a few streams of light entered Wei Que's eyes. They were escaping quickly. Wei Que activated the spiritual energy in his body and turned into a rainbow light, chasing after them.
Lu Ye, who was running ahead, sensed something and turned his head to look back, only to see Wei Que transform into a streak of light and know he had escaped.
Just as he had expected, the Entrapment Array he arranged could only trap a Ninth Order cultivator for twenty breaths of time at most.
That was enough.
At this moment, the three of them didn't care about anything else and used all their strength to cross the ten-kilometre distance.
Diving down, they rushed straight to the bottom of the cave and began pushing their Spirit Qi to activate the Transmission Array.
The complex patterns of the array under their feet lit up, and the void spirit patterns in the center of the array bloomed with light. Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan watched curiously. Although they often used the Tianji Pillar to teleport, this was the first time they used a teleportation array. They were curious about the difference between the two.
Only the experienced Hu Po raised its two front paws and hugged Lu Ye's neck, its amber eyes showing a hint of throbbing.
The instant the teleportation array activated, Lu Ye unsheathed his saber, and a crescent-shaped saber light slashed out, blasting the location of the explosion array.
Flames lit up, and a loud sound rang out. The cave shook, and rocks fell down. When everything returned to normal, the place was already in a mess.
Ten breaths later, Wei Que rushed into the cave in a hurry. Looking around, there was no trace of Lu Ye and the others. A large number of collapsed stones were scattered around here. Not to mention a human figure, not even a ghost's shadow could be seen.
Where is he?
Wei Que's face was filled with suspicion.
When he was in the air just now, he clearly saw Lu Ye and the others escape into this place. Then, there was a loud sound, and the people who escaped in disappeared!
He didn't believe it and searched all the way to the bottom of the cave. There was no way out, but he still couldn't find any clues.
Three living people had mysteriously disappeared just like that!
Wei Que quickly walked out of the cave, looked around for a moment, and then chased in a certain direction. He wondered if he had seen wrongly. Otherwise, there was no way three living people could disappear into thin air.
Those three people must be somewhere not far away. He had to find them no matter what!
At the same time, two hundred miles away, in a cave more than a hundred feet underground, the hidden teleportation array lit up. The space distorted, and three figures appeared out of thin air.
As soon as they appeared, Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan staggered and almost fell to the ground. Their faces were very serious and faintly pale …
They hadn't been injured in the battle with Wei Que before. The reason for this was that during the teleportation, the feeling of stepping on air and falling into a bottomless abyss was too real.
The key was that during the teleportation, the two didn't dare to use their spirit energy carelessly. This caused them to feel very insecure. Moreover, the time of the teleportation seemed to be extremely vague. One thing was certain, the teleportation must have been completed in an instant, but in their perception, it seemed like a long time had passed.
No wonder Hu Po hugged Lu Ye's neck before the teleportation. This was because he had been teleported many times and had the experience to deal with it.
Before the two could recover, in the darkness, three light blue lights shone from the back of the three people's hands, illuminating the entire underground with a faint blue light.
At this moment, the three figures on the teleportation array were on high alert.
A reaction from the battlefield mark meant that there was someone here, and it was a cultivator from the Myriad Demon Ridge.
Under their powerful perception, they indeed sensed an aura not far away.
About a hundred feet away from Lu Ye and the others, He Bing was sitting cross-legged, silently recovering.
Two hours ago, he found this place and confirmed that there was no one here, so he adjusted his breathing and recuperated.
In the Hunting Ground, he had no companions. As a Seventh Order cultivator, his situation was actually a bit awkward because his cultivation wasn't enough for him to compete for the Hunting List. Even if he was on the list, his ranking wouldn't be too high, and the rewards wouldn't be too good.
Since he couldn't make it to the Hunting List, he wouldn't force it. So, recently, his goal had always been the Heaven Bestowed Spirit Lot and various scattered opportunities. If he was lucky, he could even kill some cultivators from Grand Heaven Alliance. In short, his harvest was quite good.
He had also encountered some Masters that he couldn't defeat, but with his cultivation reaching the Seventh Order, even if he couldn't defeat Eighth or Ninth Order cultivators, it wouldn't be easy for others to kill him. In other words, he had the ability to protect himself, so he dared to act alone.
However, just now, a light lit up in the dark cave, and a Spirit Array suddenly appeared. Then, an incomprehensible scene appeared. Three figures appeared on the Spirit Array.
He Bing stared with wide eyes. For a moment, he couldn't understand how these three people appeared here out of thin air!
Soon, he seemed to have thought of something and raised his brow.
If he wasn't mistaken, these three people should have used the Transmission Array, which was the one that lit up the Spirit Array before.
[A Cloud River Realm cultivator can set up a Transmission Array?] He Bing couldn't help but become interested and slowly stood up.
On the Transmission Array, Lu Ye secretly cursed when he saw He Bing alone. It was obviously not a good thing to meet a guy who was traveling alone at this time. Although he couldn't figure out the depth of the other party's cultivation, there was a high probability that it was above the Seventh Order.
He happened to run into a Myriad Demon Ridge cultivator when he was escaping through the Transmission Array. He didn't expect to run into him again this time.
This was understandable. If he could find this kind of hidden cave, others could naturally find it too. Looking at the other party's posture, it was obvious that he was resting here. Lu Ye didn't know how long he had been here.
Last time, they were lucky. The other party wasn't too strong, so he and Yi Yi worked together to kill him. However, the situation this time was unknown.
Lu Ye didn't dare to gamble. If the other party was an Eighth or Ninth Order cultivator, the three of them wouldn't be his opponent.
So, the moment He Bing stood up, Lu Ye activated the Transmission Array again and prepared to escape.
Every teleportation formation that he set up was connected to at least two other teleportation formations. The teleportation formation that came here had been destroyed, but there was at least one other teleportation formation that was connected to the one under his feet. As long as it was successfully activated, he would be able to go to another place.
However, in the next moment, his heart sank.
He couldn't perceive the existence of any other Transmission Points!
This was truly a case of when it rains, it pours, and when the boat is late, it encounters a headwind.
They were blocked here by an enemy who was suspected to be above the Seventh Order, and the Transmission Array couldn't be used. Without a Transmission Point, it undoubtedly meant that the other Transmission Arrays connected to the one under his feet had been destroyed.
Now, they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.
Lu Ye couldn't figure out why his luck was suddenly so bad. It had been quite good before.
The situation was unprecedentedly bad. If they fought in this place, not to mention whether they could win, just the aftermath of the battle would be enough to collapse the underground cave and bury everyone inside.
Lu Ye raised his hand and touched Amber.
Li Ba Xian flashed out and stood in front of Lu Ye, saying, "Fellow Daoist, this place is too narrow and inconvenient for conflict, what does Fellow Daoist think?"
Under his mask, Li Ba Xian's expression was one of helplessness. He had just escaped the tiger's mouth only to fall into the wolf's den. Although he didn't know about the Transmission Array, he knew that such a place really wasn't a good place to fight.
Moreover, his judgment was the same as Lu Ye's. Since the other party dared to come here alone, his strength couldn't be weak. If they really fought, the three of them might not be his opponent.
First, they had to stabilize the other party and escape from here.
Hearing Li Ba Xian's words, He Bing raised his hand, grabbed a long spear, and stabbed it into the ground. Pushing his Spirit Qi, he grinned, "Do you think the few of you can threaten me?"
As his Spirit Qi surged, He Bing's Seventh Order cultivation was revealed.
This made Lu Ye's trio breathe a sigh of relief, but also feel helpless.
They breathed a sigh of relief because the other party was only a Seventh Order, not an Eighth or Ninth Order, so the situation wasn't so desperate. If the other party was really an Eighth or Ninth Order cultivator, the three of them would have to consider whether or not to perish together with him.
They were also helpless because the other party was a Seventh Order cultivator. Before, when the three of them joined forces, they did manage to kill a Sixth Order cultivator, but facing a Seventh Order cultivator … no matter who it was, they didn't have the confidence to do so. Most importantly, Wei Que was definitely looking for them at this moment. A distance of two hundred kilometres was nothing to a Cloud River Ninth Order cultivator, so if they fought here, even if the cave didn't collapse, there was still a risk of Wei Que or other enemies discovering them.
"You overestimate yourselves!"
Lu Ye's trio didn't speak, but He Bing became even more rampant, coldly snorting, "Sneaking around like this, it's obvious you're up to no good. Take off your masks!"
