In Li Baxian's residence, Lu Ye and Li Baxian were drinking by candlelight. As Lu Ye explained, Li Baxian slowly understood the plans of Fox Immortal Valley.
"So it's to kill that Overlord Monster Beast." Li Baxian showed a look of understanding, "No wonder I always felt that the atmosphere in the valley was a bit strange recently. Fellow Daoist Yu also seemed to have a lot on her mind."
The Fellow Daoist Yu he mentioned was Yu Daiwei, who had often come to Li Baxian to spar with him recently.
It could be seen that Yu Daiwei had a good impression of Li Baxian, but his Fourth Senior Brother didn't seem to have much interest in her. He simply regarded her as a like-minded Fellow Daoist.
"Little Junior Brother, this is a confidential matter. Before Senior announces it, you must not discuss it with others in private," Li Baxian reminded Lu Ye again.
Lu Ye said, "I understand. I will only tell Senior Brother. When the operation begins, Senior Brother must be careful."
Li Baxian nodded, "I will pay attention … Does Junior Brother know when the operation will begin?"
"It should be in the next few days." Lu Ye looked dignified, "I have already received the news. I will go out tomorrow to arrange the Spirit Array. When the Spirit Array is ready, the operation may begin."
"Then Junior Brother must also be careful. An Overlord Monster Beast … Heh, I really didn't expect to fight it one day," He didn't seem nervous at all, instead looking forward to it.
Early the next morning, Lu Ye pushed open the door of his residence and walked straight to the entrance of Fox Immortal Valley.
In the distance, he saw more than a dozen figures waiting there, led by Zhou Yuntian.
Lu Ye stepped forward and greeted everyone. Zhou Yuntian nodded, "Let's go."
Saying so, he led the way, with everyone following closely behind.
Among the dozen or so people, besides Zhou Yuntian and Xie Yun Han, the rest of them weren't weak, all of them above the Seventh Order. They were mainly responsible for the safety of Lu Ye and Xie Yun Han.
After all, in terms of cultivation, Lu Ye was just a Fourth-Order and Xie Yun Han was just a Seventh-Order, so they really weren't that high. If they really encountered a powerful Monster Beast, they might not be able to resist. Whether or not these two Array Cultivators could arrange a powerful enough Spirit Array was the key to this operation. While they were arranging this Spirit Array, Zhou Yun Tian and the others had to stand guard nearby.
Along the way, demonic beasts would appear from time to time. No matter how careful everyone was, they couldn't avoid some fights.
However, with only a dozen or so people, and several of them were Ninth Order cultivators, Yang Kai's group managed to travel through this place without any mishaps.
One day later, Zhou Yuntian, who was leading the way, stopped. He took out a map and compared it to their current location. "This is the place. Fellow Daoist Lu, Fellow Daoist Xie, the two of you must use this location as the center of the formation as quickly as possible. As for how to set up the formation and what kind of formation to set up, the two of you can discuss among yourselves. Everyone else, split up into groups of two and keep an eye on the surroundings.
"Yes!" Everyone replied and dispersed.
Only Lu Ye, Xie Yunhan, and Zhou Yuntian remained.
Xie Yunhan looked at Lu Ye anxiously.
In terms of attainments in formation dao, he was inferior to Lu Ye, so this time, Lu Ye was in charge of setting up the formation, and he was assisting.
Lu Ye didn't immediately start working on the formation. Instead, he looked at Zhou Yuntian and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, I have a question."
"What is it?"
Lu Ye asked, "How far is the Giant Berserk Ape from here?"
"Its location isn't fixed, but generally speaking, it only moves around its territory. This place is about fifty miles away from its territory."
"In other words, Senior wants to lure the Giant Berserk Ape out of its territory and kill it here?"
"That's right."
"Since the Giant Berserk Ape is an overlord level Monster Beast, its intelligence shouldn't be too low. How can we guarantee that we can lure it here? The cultivators in the valley have already fought with it more than once. Won't it be vigilant? "
"If Fellow Daoist Lu is worried about this, then there's no need. It's true that the beast's intelligence is high, and it can understand humans, but it's still an overlord level Monster Beast. In this Cloud River Battlefield, it's the leader, so even if it notices something, it won't care too much. We did the same thing the last two times. Although there were some twists and turns in the process, we were able to lure it to the predetermined location each time. "
Lu Ye nodded, "Then there's no problem."
He secretly guessed that if that was the case, the Giant Berserk Ape's intelligence wouldn't be that high.
He suddenly thought of the overlord level Monster Beast he encountered in the Spirit Stream Battlefield. It had already transformed into a human form, but it was still easy to deceive. It seemed that this was an unavoidable disadvantage of Monster Beasts.
After resolving the doubts in his heart, Lu Ye flew into the air and observed the terrain below. After a while, he had a specific plan in his heart.
Many of the spiritual inscriptions he had mastered were suitable for setting up formations.
However, if it was used to deal with an overlord level Monster Beast, there were some auxiliary formations that weren't very useful.
If he wanted to successfully kill the opponent, he still had to use killing formations.
Of all the Killing Arrays he could set up, the most powerful one was undoubtedly the Explosion Array. A single Explosion Array wouldn't pose much of a threat to an overlord-class Demonic Beast, but if he set up enough Explosion Arrays, they could still be of great use.
There were also spiritual inscriptions such as Lightning Attraction, Scorching Flame, and Earth Formation. If they were set up individually, they could be used as spells. However, if they were used as the core to set up formations, then they would be Lightning Attraction Formation, Scorching Flame Formation, and Earth Formation. Together with the Explosion Formation, they could also be used to great effect.
Immediately, Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan set up the formations together.
Formation flags were consumed one by one, and formations were formed one after another. In order to increase the power of the formations, Lu Ye even placed spirit stones in many of the formations to let the formations operate in advance and accumulate energy.
Considering that the cultivators in the valley needed to fight with the Giant Berserk Ape, most of the formations set up this time needed to be controlled by people. There were very few formations that could be triggered.
For a full three days, Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan almost didn't rest. They set up hundreds of formations in a radius of ten miles, making the area dangerous.
Lu Ye could be said to have done everything he could to set up these formations. He didn't hold back at all.
Although it would be beneficial for him if the strength of the Fox Immortal Valley was weakened, and he even planned to let the wolf pack kill the fox demons after this battle, the premise was that they could win the battle with the Giant Berserk Ape.
If they lost even this battle, then his and Li Baxian's safety couldn't be guaranteed. Thus, no matter what, Lu Ye didn't dare to do anything while setting up the formations.
He didn't have a clear understanding of how strong a Cloud River Tier overlord-level demonic beast was, but just from the current situation of the Fox Immortal Valley, the strength of the Giant Berserk Ape would only exceed his expectations.
And on the second day after all the formations were set up, the fox demon led the cultivators of the Fox Immortal Valley over.
Everyone in the Fox Immortal Valley was mobilized, and no one was left behind. More than eighty cultivators gathered together, and Zhou Yuntian went forward to report the situation here.
After hearing the report, the fox demon looked at Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan with praise. "You two have worked hard. If we succeed this time, you two will take the first credit!"
Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan both had happy and excited expressions. They repeatedly said that it was their duty to serve their lord. Such a humble performance undoubtedly made the fox demon very satisfied.
"My lord." Lu Ye continued, "Before we move out, I'd like you to familiarize yourselves with the surrounding spell formations. That way, you'll know where to protect yourselves and where to stop the enemy. Perhaps you'll be able to reduce the number of casualties."
The fox demon nodded. "You're very considerate. Since that's the case, we'll do as you say!"
"Yes. Fellow Daoists, please follow me. " As Lu Ye spoke, he rose into the air and flew toward the area covered by the formations. A large group of cultivators followed behind him.
"This place is a trap formation. Later, if any of you can't shake off the enemy, you can come here to save your life." Lu Ye pointed at a certain place below and said. Everyone silently noted it down.
"This area is filled with explosive formations, and it's under the control of Fellow Xie and me. You can't stop here, especially if you're being chased by the enemy. Fellow Xie and I will activate the formations at the appropriate time to help everyone kill the enemy."
"This place is a lightning formation …"
"This place is a hallucinatory formation …"
As Lu Ye continued to explain, the formations of the entire area appeared in the cultivators' minds one by one. The cultivators' memories were all very strong. Combined with what they saw in front of them, they could quickly outline the layout of the formations in their minds.
Zhou Yuntian's eyes lit up as he listened. He had participated in two operations against the Berserk Giant Ape. In the past, the formations were set up by Xie Yunhan, but how could Xie Yunhan's formations have so many tricks up their sleeves? They couldn't provide much help to the Fox Immortal Valley either.
However, although the formations set up by Lu Ye weren't very exquisite, at least they had a lot of tricks up their sleeves. This gave him some confidence in this operation.
Moreover, Lu Ye had them familiarize themselves with the formations before the operation. Clearly, he was thinking for them. When the time came, they might really need to rely on the formations to save their lives.
Two hours later, everyone returned. Zhou Yuntian stepped forward and cupped his fists. "My lord, we're ready."
The fox demon's charming eyes flashed with cold killing intent. "Let's move. This time, no matter the price, we must kill it!"
"We definitely won't disappoint my lord!" The cultivators promised, their battle intent surging.
Lu Ye sighed in his heart. This time, no matter if they succeeded or not, these cultivators would definitely suffer heavy casualties. Their minds were controlled by the fox demon. To them, the fox demon's orders were a mission that they couldn't disobey. Even if the fox demon ordered them to die, they wouldn't frown.
More than ten figures walked out from the crowd. Under Zhou Yuntian's lead, they flew into the sky and headed in a direction. It was obvious that they were going to lure the snake out of its hole.
This area was considered the border of the overlord-level demonic beast's territory. Therefore, there were no traces of other demonic beasts. Flying like this wouldn't cause them to worry about being attacked by demonic beasts.
The rest of the people were waiting quietly.
Time continued to pass.
Until a certain moment, Yu Daiwei, who had been guarding the fox demon, checked the battlefield imprint's message and said, "My lord, Fellow Daoist Zhou and the others have lured it out!"
