Every day, he would read books and cultivate. He would also take some time to temper himself in the Mirage Realm and familiarize himself with the power of the upgraded Pan Mountain Saber. His days passed peacefully.
This kind of life was what many cultivators at the Cloud River Tier yearned for. With a stable environment for cultivation, they wouldn't have to travel around tirelessly. Naturally, they wouldn't encounter too many dangers and could steadily improve their cultivation.
Lu Ye was also willing to endure hardships.
Although he had been constantly on the move since he started cultivating, who would refuse such a peaceful life unless he had no other choice?
Although cultivating in the Spirit Land couldn't compare to obtaining spirit sticks, it was more stable. Overall, it was more efficient than searching for spirit sticks to improve one's cultivation. After all, spirit sticks weren't things that could be obtained just because one wanted them. It depended on one's luck.
In the evening three days after the wolf pack disappeared, the sun was setting in the west. Lu Ye, who was reading a book and cultivating, suddenly looked up and saw a dense pack of figures outside the Spirit Land Formation.
The wolf pack had returned.
The majestic alpha wolf was covered in blood, and the other wolves were also injured. It seemed that they had been through a great battle.
However, what surprised Lu Ye was that the wolf pack had increased in number.
Originally, this wolf pack only had a hundred wolves, but this time, more than two hundred had returned. Moreover, there were clearly some wolf pups among them.
Under the lead of the alpha wolf, the wolf pack stopped outside the Spirit Land Formation and waited quietly.
Lu Ye waved the formation flag and opened a gap in the Spirit Land. Only then did the wolf pack rush into the Spirit Land, each looking for a suitable place to rest. The injured wolves silently licked their wounds.
The alpha wolf led a group of wolves straight to Lu Ye. At its signal, the wolves stepped forward and spat out the Beast Cores in their mouths.
Lu Ye had already obtained a dozen Beast Cores from the wolf pack. This time, the wolf pack had gone off to do something. Not only had they grown stronger, but they had also brought back close to fifty Beast Cores.
This was obviously a gift from the wolf pack, and also a reward for Lu Ye's help in tattooing the wolf pack.
Very profitable!
The materials that Lu Ye had bought from the Tianji Treasury were only worth a little more than a thousand merit points. However, the value of these Beast Cores was far more than a thousand. If they were sold to the Tianji Treasury, they would be worth ten thousand merit points.
Wolf packs knew how to be grateful, so Lu Ye naturally wouldn't be stingy. She immediately spent some Merit Points to buy a batch of healing pills from the Tianji Treasury. She then split up with Yiyi and gave them to the wounded Yao Wolves.
In any case, the safety of the spiritual land would depend on the wolf pack in the future. The reason why Lu Ye chose the spiritual land in Huitian Valley was to borrow the strength of the wolf pack.
If it weren't for this wolf pack, he wouldn't have placed the spiritual land here no matter what. Although this place was hidden, it was also very risky. If some powerful monster beast attacked, he and Li Baxian alone might not be able to stop it.
Many of the new Demon Wolves were a little resistant to coming into contact with Lu Ye, but under the deterrence of the alpha wolf, they could only obediently take the healing pills.
The vitality of demonic beasts was very tenacious. As long as their injuries were not too serious and they did not die on the spot, their lives would not be in danger.
After two or three days, the wolf pack had basically recovered.
The alpha wolf led the new members of her clan to find Lu Ye and asked him to help inscribe their Spirit Crests. Lu Ye naturally did not refuse. Increasing the strength of the wolf pack was equivalent to increasing the protective power of the Spirit Land.
At the same time, thirty kilometres away from Huitian Valley, in a cave, Tan Sheng and the other two were sitting on the ground, meditating.
Even if the three of them were all Ninth Order masters, they still looked a little embarrassed at the moment. These days, they had been searching for Lu Ye nearby, but unfortunately, the effect of the compass in their hands was far inferior to the tracking plate, so they could only roughly determine Lu Ye's position.
As such, from time to time, they would disturb some powerful Monster Beasts and inevitably engage in fierce battles.
Just an hour ago, the three of them had joined forces to kill a Monster Beast comparable to a Cloud River Realm Ninth Order master.
Although they had some gains, their main goal was Lu Ye. If they couldn't find Lu Ye, no matter how many Monster Beasts they killed, it would be useless.
"Lu Yi Ye should be nearby. We'll rest for tonight and continue our search in the southeast direction tomorrow," Tan Sheng said.
Wei Que and Xia Liang had no objections. Although they hadn't found Lu Ye's whereabouts yet, according to the clues they had at the moment, Lu Ye had never left this area, so as long as they continued their search, they would eventually find him.
"We've already searched this hundred-kilometre radius several times but haven't found anything. Lu Yi Ye is proficient in the Spirit Array Dao, so if he really placed the Spirit Land here, he would definitely have arranged a number of Spirit Arrays. Tomorrow, we'll search for any suspicious spots," Wei Que added.
"That's how it should be." Tan Sheng nodded, "But the Transmission Array arranged by that bastard is still a problem. If he had arranged it in advance, even if we found him, we might not have been able to kill him."
In the Hunting Ground, Tan Sheng had been tracking Lu Ye's whereabouts with the help of the tracking plate, but Lu Ye's movements were unpredictable, sometimes in front and sometimes behind, teleporting two or three hundred kilometres in the blink of an eye.
At that time, he still didn't know what was going on, and even suspected that there was something wrong with the tracking plate.
When the Hunting Ground closed, he calmed down and thought, and asked a few more people. Finally, he came to a conjecture — Lu Yi Ye was most likely able to arrange a Transmission Array! That was why he could teleport two or three hundred kilometres in an instant, and he couldn't catch up.
When he came to this conclusion, he was really surprised because a Transmission Array wasn't something that an ordinary Formation Cultivator could arrange. Even a Formation Cultivator at the True Lake Tier would find it difficult to arrange a Transmission Array, let alone Lu Ye, who was only at the Cloud River Tier.
But apart from a Transmission Array, there was no other explanation for the strange situation he had encountered at that time.
Later, he met with Wei Que and Xia Liang, and after they discussed this matter, he became more and more certain of this conjecture.
That was because Wei Que had chased after Lu Ye before. Lu Ye had clearly entered a cave, but when he entered the cave to search for him, Lu Ye had disappeared. There were only traces left behind by the explosion of the spell formation, as if it had destroyed something.
Later, the three of them entered the Hunting Ground and carefully investigated the places where Lu Ye had appeared. Finally, they found a Transmission Array left behind by Lu Ye, and confirmed their conjecture about the Transmission Array.
Xia Liang said, "I've asked the elders in the sect, and they said that we don't have to worry too much about the Transmission Array. Even if Lu Yi Ye could arrange it, with his cultivation, the range of the Transmission Array wouldn't be too large. Moreover, the Transmission Array would have to be connected to each other from a distance to be effective. Demonic Beasts are abundant in the Taimang Mountains, so he definitely wouldn't dare to casually arrange a Transmission Array outside, lest it be destroyed by passing Demonic Beasts. Rather than worrying about the Transmission Array, I'm more worried about whether he would invite the Tian Ji Pillar from the Spiritual Land. "
Tan Sheng and Wei Que fell silent when they heard this.
It might be impossible for others to invite the Tian Ji Pillar, as the cost would be too great, but it couldn't be more normal for Lu Yi Ye.
That guy was so rich! Some time ago, he had just received twenty to thirty million merit points from the Myriad Devil Ridge. He definitely had a lot of merit points, and could invite the Tian Ji Pillar at any time.
Previously, in the Hunting Ground, he had used this method to escape with his life.
"Last time, he had the protection of the Golden Body Token, so no one could stop him. If he didn't have the Golden Body Token, he wouldn't have been able to escape last time, so it shouldn't be a big problem." Tan Sheng spoke, and no one knew if he was comforting himself, but he paused and said, "Even if he invited the Tian Ji Pillar in advance and ran away when he saw that the situation was not good, we could at least snatch his Spiritual Land, and it wouldn't be a total loss. Anyway, no matter what, let's find his traces first! Even if he really invited the Tian Ji Pillar, if we can't kill him this time, there will be a next time! "
The three of them didn't say anything more, and each quietly recovered.
When dawn came, they set off again and searched in the southeast direction.
A moment later, three streams of light flashed across the sky above Huitian Valley. It was Tan Sheng and the other two's figures. The three pairs of eyes looked left and right, but because of the concealment array, in the eyes of the three, it was just a beautiful valley with nothing special.
Of course, the main reason was that the three of them didn't know anything about arrays, otherwise, they would have seen some clues.
Just as the three of them were about to rush over, Xia Liang suddenly stopped and looked down with rapt attention.
In the originally empty valley below, a wolf-like demonic beast had appeared out of nowhere. Looking at its appearance, it was a wolf cub that hadn't grown up yet.
Sensing Xia Liang's abnormality, Tan Sheng and Wei Que hurriedly stopped.
"Brother Xia?" Tan Sheng looked at him suspiciously.
Xia Liang didn't say anything, and continued to look with his eyes.
Right at this moment, the space nearby the wolf cub warped, and a layer of ripples that were visible to the naked eye arose. Subsequently, a robust demon wolf appeared out of thin air, and it walked over to the wolf cub's side before biting its neck. It disregarded the wolf cub's resistance and carried it back with its mouth.
The ripples appeared again, and the demonic wolf's figure disappeared into thin air.
"The concealment array!" Tan Sheng whispered, and his eyes were filled with surprise.
Xia Liang and Wei Que were also excited.
Wei Que said, "There's a concealment array here, and it must be Lu Yiye's doing. He placed the Spiritual Land here!"
This was really a case of wearing out iron shoes in a fruitless search, and then finding it without any effort.
They had been looking for traces of Lu Yiye nearby, but they had never found him. Who would have thought that today, they would coincidentally find traces of the Spirit Array.
Lu Yiye also didn't expect that the Spirit Array he had arranged would be exposed by a playful wolf cub, mainly because he didn't know that Tan Sheng and the others had been searching for him.
Previously, when he was being tracked by the Tracking Disk, they were close enough that he could still sense them, but now, he couldn't sense them at all.
The severely weakened version of the Tracking Disk was far inferior to the real one, but because of this, Lu Yiye couldn't sense it. It could only be said that there were pros and cons.
After confirming that this might be Lu Yiye's hiding place, the three of them no longer hesitated. Xia Liang summoned his saber, Wei Que activated his Secret Art, and Tan Sheng summoned his own Spirit Artifact.
The three Cloud River Realm Ninth Order Masters attacked at the same time, blasting towards the valley below.
Violent Secret Arts surged, and huge saber waves swept out.
Tan Sheng's angry roar resounded through the sky, "Lu Yiye, get out here and die!"
Accompanied by his roar, a rumbling sound rang out. Outside the Spiritual Land, a solid light curtain suddenly appeared, blocking the incoming attacks, and layers of ripples appeared. (To be continued)
