When Tao Zhengyu followed Yiyi into New Moon Sect's encampment, he saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.
Tragic corpses were scattered all over the ground, and the ground was covered in blood. Following the blood and corpses, they arrived in front of New Moon Sect's Divine Secret Hall.
A figure sat casually on the steps of Divine Secret Hall. His body was covered in blood, and a long saber was placed beside him. On the surface of the figure, purple lightning was slithering around like a snake.
Just looking at the purple lightning gave Tao Zhengyu an extremely uncomfortable feeling. It was hard to imagine what kind of torture one would suffer if they were surrounded by such purple lightning.
Behind this figure, Divine Secret Hall was filled with the smell of blood. There were at least ten or twenty corpses piled up inside.
This was the Core Region, and every cultivator here was at least a Ninth Order cultivator.
However, these cultivators, who were high and mighty in Tao Zhengyu's eyes, were all lying in pools of blood, their corpse temperature gradually cooling.
Along the way, he saw about fifty corpses.
Looking at the figure sitting on the steps, Tao Zhengyu suddenly felt like he was looking up at a tall mountain. At this moment, he clearly felt that this mountain in front of him was one that he would never be able to surpass in his life.
This was his Fifth Senior Brother!
A few months ago, he was a Master who suppressed the entire Myriad Demon Ridge with his own strength. On the day he broke through to the Cloud River Realm, Myriad Demon Ridge celebrated with gongs and drums.
However, who would have thought that in less than three months, he would kill his way into the Spirit Stream Battlefield and challenge an entire Sect by himself.
He stepped forward and bowed respectfully, "Fifth Senior Brother."
"Go in."
"Yes." Tao Zhengyu knew the purpose of Lu Ye bringing him here. He immediately stepped into Divine Secret Hall and began to plunder the various blessings on New Moon Sect's Divine Secret Pillar with his identity as a Guardian.
This was the first time he had done such a thing after taking over as the Guardian of Blue Blood Sect's encampment. However, it was not troublesome. After a little exploration, he knew how to do it.
Yiyi placed the storage bags she collected along the way in front of Lu Ye and asked worriedly, "Lu Ye, are you okay?"
The Soul Extinguishing Divine Thunder targeted the Soul, so it was extremely effective against a Spirit Body like Yiyi. Therefore, just looking at the purple lightning made Yiyi feel dizzy.
"I'm fine."
Lu Ye casually replied. The Talent Tree had been incinerating the Soul Extinguishing Divine Lightning that had invaded his body, so he felt quite good. Although it was painful, it was still within the range of what he could endure.
On the other hand, not only did his merit points not increase, they had decreased by nearly two thousand.
From the looks of it, even if Tian Ji had suppressed his cultivation to the Heaven Nine Boundary, the merit points would still be calculated based on his Third-Order Cloud River Realm cultivation.
Killing enemies with a cultivation base several levels higher than that of a Spirit Stream Stage cultivator naturally wouldn't earn any merit points. Instead, merit points would be deducted.
It was a bit of a loss!
Originally, Lu Ye came to New Moon Sect to make up for his losses, but now, not only did he not gain anything, he even lost more.
Fortunately, he still had a lot of storage bags. Lu Ye popped a few Spirit Pills into his mouth, healing himself while opening the restrictions on the storage bags.
A Spirit Stream Realm cultivator's storage pouch did not have many good things, even for a Heavenly Nine Realm cultivator like Tan Li.
One storage pouch after another was opened.
About half an hour later, all the storage bags were opened. Sure enough, there wasn't anything that could make one's eyes light up.
Tao Zhengyu had already swept through all the blessings in New Moon Sect's encampment. At this moment, he looked quite excited. He came to Lu Ye and asked, "Fifth Senior Brother, where should we go next?"
Lu Ye put some of the Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones in a storage bag and threw it to him, "Wait here."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and walked into Tian Ji Hall. Arriving in front of Tian Ji Pillar, he pressed his hand on it and connected his mind to the Tian Ji Treasury, selling the rest of the spoils.
His merit points increased to more than seven thousand. Then, without hesitation, he bought all the merit points for the Earth Core Fire and devoured it one by one.
There was no other reason. The Talent Tree seemed to have run out of fuel and needed to be replenished quickly. Otherwise, the Soul Extinguishing Divine Lightning that had invaded his body would not be able to be incinerated, and it would be inconvenient for his next move.
Comparatively speaking, the consumption of the Talent Tree to burn the Soul Extinguishing Thunder was much greater than the consumption of the poison. He didn't know how much fuel the Talent Tree had accumulated. Every time he devoured the Earth Core Fire, part of the energy was used to activate the Spirit Patterns on the Talent Tree, and the other part was stored as backup fuel.
Since he started cultivating, the Talent Tree had only run out of fuel once, and that was during the Battle of Golden Light Summit.
However, at that time, his cultivation was not high, and he didn't have much money. The amount of energy he could devour with the Talent Tree was not much, so it was natural that the fuel would run out.
Ever since he started buying the Earth Core Fire from the Tian Ji Treasury, the Talent Tree had never run out of fuel.
This was the second time the Talent Tree ran out of fuel.
As the Earth Core Fire devoured one after another, the Talent Tree burned a large amount of gray fog. However, the purple lightning surrounding him did not decrease at all.
This time, he had killed more than fifty people. The amount of Soul Extinguishing Thunder accumulated was too large, and it would probably consume a lot of the Earth Core Fire.
What surprised Lu Ye was that the Talent Tree's leaves did not react when he devoured the Earth Core Fire this time. It seemed that the Talent Tree had also sensed that his situation was not good, and had reacted accordingly.
Now that he was being corroded by the Soul Extinguishing Thunder, all the Earth Core Fire he had devoured had turned into fuel, and did not provide energy to activate new Spirit Patterns on the Talent Tree.
Soon, the Earth Core Fire that he had exchanged for more than seven thousand merit points was completely devoured, and large amounts of gray fog continued to rise from the Talent Tree.
After less than an hour, the Talent Tree stopped moving, and the fuel was used up again.
However, the Soul Extinguishing Thunder on Lu Ye's body was still purple, and showed no signs of weakening.
What a loss!
The corner of Lu Ye's eye twitched. He had originally wanted to come to New Moon Sect to make up for his losses, but in the end, he had lost merit points by killing people, and burning the Soul Extinguishing Thunder also required merit points. In this way, not only did he not make up for his losses, but his losses became more and more severe.
However, if he counted the blessings that Tao Zhengyu had plundered, he would definitely have profited.
However, Lu Ye was now at the Cloud River Tier, and the matters in the encampment had nothing to do with him. No matter how many blessings Tao Zhengyu plundered, the benefits would belong to the sect, and he would not be able to get a share.
Lu Ye rummaged through his storage space again. After entering the Cloud River Battlefield, he had obtained many spoils of war, but he had not dealt with them.
He had originally planned to deal with them when he had the opportunity to go to the Tianji Business Alliance, but there was no need to think about this now.
It was more important to deal with his own troubles first.
Once again, he connected his mind to the Tianji Treasure House, and sold the many spoils of war that he had no use for. He kept the Origin Spirit Pills and Spirit Stones, which he could use for his own cultivation.
He barely managed to gather more than ten thousand merit points, and continued to buy Earth Core Fire to replenish the fuel for the Talent Tree.
While he was busy, a piece of news in the Nine Prefectures spread rapidly among the great sects of the Wan Mo Ridge as if it had spread wings.
After three months, the Sect Extinguishing Ye had reappeared at the Spirit Stream Battlefield, and this time, he had directly come to New Moon Sect's encampment. With his own strength, he had slaughtered his way through the encampment of New Moon Sect. The encampment of New Moon Sect was lost, and more than fifty disciples were killed or injured. Even the Guardian of New Moon Sect, Tan Li, was killed.
When the news spread, all the great sects of the Wan Mo Ridge were shaken.
Countless people stomped their feet and cursed angrily. Lu Yiye was inhumane. As a Cloud River Tier cultivator, he actually did not cultivate in the Cloud River Battlefield, and instead came to the Spirit Stream Battlefield to show off. Especially the entire New Moon Sect, they were all suppressing a bellyful of anger. The higher-ups of the True Lake and Spirit Sea Tier wanted nothing more than to charge into the Spirit Stream Battlefield and avenge their dead disciples.
However, considering Lu Yiye's unparalleled battle prowess in the Spirit Level, those True Lake and Spirit Sea Tier cultivators did not dare to really enter.
It would be fine if they won, but if they lost, then they would become a laughing stock.
But no matter what, the New Moon Sect had suffered heavy losses this time. Their encampment had been destroyed, which meant that the blessings that they had accumulated over the years would definitely be plundered. Moreover, so many of their disciples had died, and such losses could not be compensated by recruiting new disciples. There had to be an explanation.
Thinking back, when Lu Yiye had gone to the great sects of the Wan Mo Ridge to extort money for safety, the New Moon Sect had obediently cooperated.
Since they had received the money several months ago, what right did they have to cause trouble again?
This was going back on their word, this was going back on their word!
The upper echelons of the New Moon Sect immediately gathered the survivors and inquired about the ins and outs of the matter.
Soon, they obtained some useful information. Lu Yiye had mentioned Tan Sheng before, and said that Tan Sheng had taken good care of him on the Cloud River Battlefield, so he had specially come to return the favor.
Of course, this was sarcasm.
They were in different camps. If Tan Sheng had really seen Lu Yiye and found out his identity, he would have definitely killed him. Why would he have taken care of him?
However, according to this information, the New Moon Sect quickly realized that the root of the matter might be Tan Sheng. They immediately ordered people to enter the Cloud River Battlefield to gather information.
Soon, there was news.
Nearly a month ago, a hunting ground had appeared on the Cloud River Battlefield, and Tan Sheng and Lu Yiye were both there. In the end, Tan Sheng used a tracking disk to fight for the top spot in the hunt. He joined forces with many experts of the Wan Mo Ridge to surround Lu Yiye, and almost killed him.
In the end, Lu Yiye was forced to use a Golden Body Token, and after the hunting ground closed, he invited a Divine Pillar. Only then did he escape!
An extremely precious Golden Body Medallion and a Pillar of Heavenly Secrets worth 100,000 contribution points …
The entire New Moon Sect finally understood why Lu Yiye had come to their base to cause trouble. He was obviously taking revenge.
For a moment, the New Moon Sect didn't know what to say. They could only blame Tan Sheng for not being thorough enough and not killing him, leaving behind a big problem.
If the New Moon Sect could gather information from the Cloud River Battlefield, the other sects of the Wan Mo Ridge would naturally be able to as well. Therefore, even if the New Moon Sect didn't announce it to the public, the news of the hunting ground quickly spread.
Countless cultivators of the Wan Mo Ridge exclaimed. Lu Yiye was really lucky to be able to obtain something like the Golden Body Token. According to the information they had gathered, Lu Yiye would have died a hundred times over if he didn't have the Golden Body Token.
Based on how much time had passed, it seemed that Lu Yiye had entered the Spirit Stream Battlefield almost immediately after leaving the Cloudriver Battlefield. He really was a petty person who couldn't wait for revenge.
