In the main hall, as the Divine Sea Realm cultivators spoke, the situation seemed to become clearer.
No matter what method Lu Yiye used to suppress Tianji's punishment, he must have paid a huge price. Moreover, at this moment, it was very likely that he could no longer kill.
If that was the case, then why should the Myriad Demon Ridge be afraid of him?
Although he had the ability to sneak into other people's bases, under the restriction of not being able to kill, his threat to the Myriad Demon Ridge was almost negligible.
Of course, this was just a guess. Without concrete evidence, it could not be confirmed.
"It's simple to verify," someone said. "First, find out where Lu Yiye is, then find some Tian Jiu cultivators to test him. Then, we'll know if he can kill again."
"That makes sense. Let's do that. Does anyone have any objections?"
"I agree."
"No objections!"
"I have a suggestion. Try to find Tian Jiu, who is on the Spirit Stream List. He is too weak to verify anything. Also, if possible, maybe we can take the opportunity to eliminate him."
"Okay, then it's settled. My Baiyue Sect can send one person."
"Bay Pavilion can send one!"
"Flying Thunder Sect can send one."
A group of Divine Sea Realm cultivators spoke one after another. Soon, a team of twenty or thirty people was decided. All of them were on the Spirit Stream List, and many of them were ranked in the top twenty.
Sitting at the head of the table, a Divine Sea Realm cultivator who had not spoken until now, said, "Then please send the message to the Spirit Stream Battlefield and let the little guy move out."
Everyone accepted the order and immediately began to send the message.
However, at this moment, there seemed to be some information coming from outside. Many Divine Sea Realm cultivators began to investigate one after another.
After a while, their expressions became serious.
Even the Divine Sea Realm cultivator who had spoken just now frowned. He raised his hand and said, "What we were discussing just now, stop for now." He raised his turbid eyes and glanced around the hall. He slowly said, "We received news that the Cloud Sun Sect's base was breached by Lu Yiye half an hour ago. More than a dozen people died!"
As soon as he said that, the entire main hall quieted down.
These warriors of the Spirit Sea Realm were still discussing how to prove their speculation. But now, it seemed that there was no need to do so. Lu Yiye had already killed his way to the Yunyang Sect and killed more than a dozen warriors of the Yunyang Sect. Naturally, their speculation was not valid.
A powerful warrior at the Spirit Sea Realm was enraged. He gritted his teeth and shouted in a low voice, "Bastard!"
This person was a warrior in the Spirit Sea Realm from the Yunyang Sect. He happened to be here. He had also received a message from his own sect and knew what had happened at the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Although compared to New Moon Sect, their casualties were much lower, but that was because they had learned from New Moon Sect's example. The Cloudy Sun Sect's cultivators were more decisive in retreating. Otherwise, based on Lu Yiye's methods, he would have killed a river of blood and mountains of corpses.
"Does anyone have a map of the Spirit Stream Battlefield?" the old man asked.
He had never imagined that, as a Divine Sea cultivator, he would be personally involved in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. However, the Spirit Stream Realm was the foundation of every sect, and the matter had already reached the point where he had to intervene.
"I do." As the voice spoke, a map of the Spirit Stream Battlefield was taken out. The Divine Sea Realm cultivator poured his spiritual power into it, and someone else raised his hand to construct a strange spiritual pattern.
The spiritual pattern and the map were linked together. In the next moment, a huge diagram appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
The diagram was none other than the map of the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
"New Moon Sect's encampment isn't close to the Cloudy Sun Sect's encampment, but it isn't far either." The old man at the head looked at the map and continued, "With Lu Yiye's strength, he should only need half a day to arrive. However, there are other sects in between the two encampments. Why did Lu Yiye not invade those other sects' encampments, but attack the Cloudy Sun Sect's?"
Judging from Lu Yiye's route, he was specifically targeting the Cloudy Sun Sect's encampment.
"Brother Fu, what's the reason behind this?"
The Divine Sea Realm cultivator from the Cloudy Sun Sect, the one surnamed Fu, had an ugly expression on his face as he said, "We've received news that a disciple from our sect, Wei Que, was among those who attacked Lu Yiye in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. This should be the reason why Lu Yiye came looking for us."
As soon as he said that, the expressions of many Divine Sea Realm cultivators turned ugly.
First, it was Tan Sheng's New Moon Sect, followed by Wei Que's Cloudy Sun Sect. Lu Yiye was clearly targeting them.
However, these two people weren't the only ones who had attacked Lu Yiye in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. Many of their sects had also participated in the attack. Didn't this mean that Lu Yiye would also run to their own encampments? There were still some people who weren't sure about this, as they didn't know if any of their disciples had participated in the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
This was a huge crisis!
They all sent out messages, telling the disciples of the Spirit Stream Battlefield to be on guard. Once they discovered any traces of Lu Yiye, they were to immediately retreat back to the Nine Prefectures. Now that their encampments had been destroyed, the support from the Heavenly Fate Pillar would definitely be lost. The only thing they could protect now was the lives of their own disciples.
"Brother Fu, did Heavenly Fate punish Lu Yiye after he killed someone?"
The cultivator surnamed Fu said, "Let me ask."
He sent a message back to his sect to inquire about the situation, and soon received a reply. "Yes. Ever since he killed the first person, he has been surrounded by purple lightning."
In the large hall, there were close to a hundred Divine Sea Realm cultivators, and all of them fell silent.
They couldn't understand the situation on Lu Yiye's side. Originally, they had guessed that he had some special method to suppress the punishment from Heavenly Fate. However, from the information they had obtained, it seemed that something was wrong.
If he really had some method to suppress it, there was no reason for him to be surrounded by purple lightning. However, if he hadn't been suppressed, how could Lu Yiye be safe and sound?
After a long while, the old man sitting at the head of the table said, "A few months ago, our Myriad Demon Ridge had already compromised once. It has only been a few months, yet Lu Yiye has actually made such a rude request again. We can't allow this evil trend to grow. Otherwise, if he comes every few months in the future, could it be that we have to compromise every time?"
Everyone fell silent.
Thinking about it carefully, although Lu Yiye was a little despicable, he was still a reasonable person.
After receiving the safety money last time, he didn't make things difficult for the Myriad Devil Ridge's sects. Not long after, he reached the Cloud River Realm and left the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
This time, there was a reason for this. If he hadn't been targeted in the Hunting Ground, he wouldn't have come to the Spirit Stream Battlefield.
Of course, that was what they thought, but they wouldn't say it out loud.
"What do you think, Old Chen?" someone asked.
"Find some people to enter the Spirit Stream Battlefield and explain the situation to him. I don't think this kid is a brainless person. I think he knows what the consequences are if he is too reckless."
Then, Old Chen explained his plan. After hearing it, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators nodded in agreement.
In any case, Lu Yiye had given them a deadline of ten days, so no matter what the result was, it was better to talk to him first.
Although there wasn't much hope, what if they reached an agreement?
Even if they couldn't reach an agreement, they still had ten days to prepare.
They couldn't just give him whatever he wanted. How would the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators behave in the future? Wouldn't they care about their reputation?
While the Divine Sea Realm cultivators were discussing, in the Cloudy Sun Sect's encampment, Lu Ye was immersed in checking the situation of his Talent Tree.
A large amount of gray mist was burning on the tree, indicating that there was still enough fuel.
The main reason was that he didn't kill too many people this time.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but that he didn't kill enough.
After realizing that Lu Ye had killed his way into the encampment, the Cloudy Sun Sect's cultivators quickly began to evacuate. In a short time, all of them had fled.
It also saved Lu Ye some trouble.
The only thing that made him feel helpless was his merit points …
He had already spent all his merit points to buy the Earth Core Fire to fuel his Talent Tree.
In the end, after this round of killing, the contribution points displayed in his Battlefield Imprint had changed to: Owed 435 contribution points.
This was the first time Lu Ye knew that merit points could be owed!
It was an eye-opener.
From the looks of it, Tianji would never make a losing deal. Lu Ye was convinced.
Fortunately, he still had some spoils of war. After picking and choosing, he threw them all into Tianji's Treasure House. Only then did he pay off the merit points he owed.
Lu Ye didn't know what the consequences of owing Tianji merit points would be, because no one had ever done this before. After all, who would owe merit points?
However, during the short time he owed Tianji merit points, he had a feeling of uneasiness, as if something bad would happen to him at any time.
From the looks of it, owing Tianji merit points was very likely to affect one's luck and make everything go wrong.
Someone with such amazing luck like him had such a feeling after owing Tianji merit points. One could imagine what would happen to ordinary people if they owed Tianji merit points. They might even fall down while walking and choke on water.
As the Talent Tree continued to burn, the purple lightning lingering on the surface of his body slowly dissipated.
Tao Zhengyu walked out of Tianji Hall and said excitedly, "Fifth Senior Brother, where are we going next?"
He was also addicted to the taste. Following his Fifth Senior Brother, there was no danger at all and he could even plunder the blessings of other sects, especially those from the Core Circle. Although the blessings he plundered had to be converted into merit points when he returned to the Sect's encampment, as the current Guardian of Blue Blood Sect's encampment, he could still give himself some preferential treatment and receive a monthly salary.
Not to mention anything else, he wouldn't have to worry about merit points to buy Heaven Grade Secret Arts in the future.
This could also be considered his travel expenses for following Lu Ye on this business trip, and he believed that his Second Senior Sister would also allow it.
Looking at the previous Guardian of Blue Blood Sect, only he and his Fifth Senior Brother had plundered the blessings of enemy encampments. The others had never had this opportunity.
He was extremely proud to be able to enter Blue Blood Sect. Thinking back, he was just a Loose Cultivator, alone and helpless. He couldn't even guarantee his own cultivation resources. However, after joining Blue Blood Sect, his life became better and better. Now, the monthly salary he received from the Sect was comparable to the treatment of a First Grade Sect's disciple. Just this alone was enough to make ninety percent of the Spirit Stream Realm cultivators in the Nine Provinces envious.
