In the Nine Front Array, as Lu Ye's saber fell, the Fox Monster's head was separated, and its vitality was completely destroyed.
He let out a long breath and shook off the blood on the Mountain Plate Saber. His mind relaxed, and his body staggered slightly.
The battle with the Fox Monster was not dangerous.
It was mainly because he had used up too much of his mental strength in a short period of time, which made him feel a little tired.
His body was covered in wounds, but none of them hurt his muscles or bones. With his physique, it would not be difficult for him to recover.
"Yi Yi, what's the situation?"
What's the situation outside? "Lu Ye asked.
Logically speaking, the Fox Monster was dead.
According to the Soul Secret Technique she planted, it should have been broken by itself.
But if that was not the case, he could not be sure.
Yi Yi's voice quickly entered his ears, "Everyone has returned to normal, but a few cultivators from Myriad Demon Ridge ran away immediately, including Xia Liang and Tan Sheng."
"That dog reacted quickly!" Lu Ye secretly gritted his teeth.
Originally, he planned to kill Tan Sheng and Xia Liang after killing the Fox Monster. Although he had been cultivating with Xia Liang during this period of time, he had never forgotten the hatred between them.
If he was not taken into the Nine Front Array, he could immediately interfere with the battlefield after killing the Fox Monster, but he was in the Nine Front Array, so he could not control the situation outside.
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng knew the wolf pack. After all, they had suffered a big loss in the Spirit Land.
So, after getting rid of the Fox Monster's control, the first thing they did was to escape.
Both of them were in the Ninth Order.
If they wanted to escape,
The wolf pack really did not have any good ideas.
Although it was a pity, they could only accept it.
Lu Ye took a few steps forward.
He walked to the Fox Monster's corpse.
He searched the corpse for a while.
He found a Storage Bag.
This was the Fox Monster's Storage Bag. She had always carried it with her. Now that she was dead, it naturally became Lu Ye's spoils of war.
Lu Ye didn't know how many good things she had. The only thing he knew was that there was a Demonic Core of an overlord-class Demonic Beast. The Demonic Core she obtained from killing the Giant Berserk Ape was kept in her storage pouch.
This was a rare good thing that was hard to come by in a hundred years.
The overlord level demon beasts of the Cloud River Battlefield had rarely been killed since ancient times. Just by looking at the operation of the Fox Immortal Valley, it was clear that if the cultivators were to form a group to deal with them, without a formation of two to three hundred people, it would be impossible to succeed. Furthermore, it would be accompanied by a huge loss. It was simply not worth it.
Therefore, cultivators would not provoke the overlord level demonic beasts on the Cloudy River Battlefield, let alone kill them.
This time, they were able to kill the Giant Berserk Ape because of the Fox Demon's hatred. The cultivators were also imbued with her Soul Secret Technique, which made them fearless of death. Moreover, Lu Ye and Xie Yunhan had set up many formations in advance to assist them.
Just by holding the Monster Core of such an overlord-level Monster Beast in his hand, Lu Ye could feel the vigorous energy within. If he gave it to Hu Po to swallow and refine, it would definitely be of great benefit.
The spoils of war were naturally not limited to this.
Lu Ye placed his hand on the Demon Fox's corpse and silently examined it for a moment. Then, he raised his Pan Shan Saber and stabbed it down. A moment later, another Demon Core was extracted.
This was the Demon Fox's Demon Core. Although it couldn't compare to the Monster Core of an overlord-level Monster Beast, it was still quite valuable.
After wiping away the bloodstains on the Demon Core, Lu Ye looked at it in astonishment.
The Demon Core was only the size of an infant's fist. It was a strange pink color and emitted a faint glow, as if it was a burning flame.
This was … Pill Fire?
Pill Fire wasn't a flame used for alchemy, but rather the Monster Core of a fire-attribute Monster Beast. Lu Ye had bought quite a few of them in the Tianji Treasury and had let his Talent Tree devour them.
Thinking about it carefully, this Demon Fox had used a Fox Fire that could shake one's mind when fighting with him. It could indeed be considered a fire-attribute Monster Beast.
In the Tianji Treasury, there were all kinds of Pill Fires with different prices. There were several hundred, thousands, and tens of thousands of merit points. There was even a strange flame called the Extreme Cold Ice Flame that was worth a total of 180,000 merit points.
He didn't know how much this Demon Fox's Demon Core was worth, but it shouldn't be too expensive.
Since it was a Pill Fire, he could naturally devour it.
With a thought from Lu Ye, several roots grew out from his Talent Tree and extended into an invisible space. In the next moment, the luster of the Pill Fire in his hand quickly dimmed as its energy was devoured by the Talent Tree.
Immersing himself in investigating the changes in his Talent Tree was just a habit. Lu Ye didn't expect a Demon Core to cause too much of a change in his Talent Tree. But what surprised him was that as the Demon Core devoured the Demon Core's energy, a leaf near the top of the Talent Tree suddenly reacted and began to burn at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Different from the blazing flames of the other leaves, this leaf burned with the same pink color as the Demon Fox's Demon Core.
This was the first time Lu Ye had encountered something like this. He was momentarily stunned.
A moment later, the Demon Core in his hand was exhausted and turned into dust. A leaf burning with pink flames appeared on his Talent Tree, making it stand out from the crowd.
Lu Ye faintly felt that he had misjudged the value of the Demon Fox's Demon Core.
After all, it was the Demon Core of a Six-Tailed Heavenly Fox. It couldn't be taken lightly. Just from the fact that it could cause such a change in his Talent Tree, one could tell that the Demon Core was extremely valuable.
Lu Ye suppressed the doubts in his heart. He didn't immediately investigate the information contained within the burning leaf.
Now that he was injured and his mental strength was severely depleted, there were still many things waiting for him to deal with outside. He couldn't afford to delay.
"Yiyi!" Lu Ye called out softly.
Yiyi understood tacitly and activated the power of the Nine Front Formation. In the next moment, Lu Ye's figure was expelled from the Nine Front Formation.
Just as he steadied himself, Hu Po scurried over from the side and squatted on his shoulder.
Hu Po was very shrewd. When the Demon Fox enslaved Giant Armor with a glance, it jumped off Lu Ye's body and hid far away. It was afraid that it would be enslaved by the Demon Fox.
There were no more sounds of fighting in the surroundings. Many Demon Wolves were quietly guarding the side. The remaining cultivators of Fox Immortal Valley were also gathered together, their faces filled with sorrow.
When their minds were enslaved by the Demon Fox, they didn't feel that their actions were wrong. However, when the Demon Fox died and their Soul Secret Technique was broken, their experiences over the years immediately surged into their minds. They all asked themselves, "What have I done?"
This was especially true for Xie Yunhan. He had stayed in Fox Immortal Valley for a total of twelve years. He had completely cut off contact with his sect and family. His cultivation hadn't improved much and he had wasted his time.
Although the others hadn't stayed as long as Xie Yunhan, they had at least spent a year or two. When they thought of their days in Fox Immortal Valley, they all felt ashamed and uneasy.
When they saw Lu Ye appear, everyone gathered around him.
"Fellow Daoist Lu." Zhou Yuntian, who was covered in blood, bowed to Lu Ye and asked somewhat nervously, "Is that Demon Fox … dead?"
Although they knew that the Demon Fox was definitely dead the moment their Soul Secret Technique was broken, they didn't dare to be certain before they received an answer.
The Demon Fox had left too much psychological trauma on them.
"I've killed the Demon Fox. Fellow Daoists, you don't have to worry," Lu Ye said. Not only was the Demon Fox killed, but its Demon Core had also been devoured by the Talent Tree. He just didn't know if he could obtain any new Spirit Runes.
Hearing this, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief. Their nervous expressions relaxed a lot. Zhou Yuntian bowed again. "We were trapped and were unknowingly deceived by the Demon Fox. This time, it's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Lu for saving us. Such kindness is equivalent to giving us a new lease of life. If Fellow Daoist has any instructions in the future, we won't dare to disobey."
The others also bowed solemnly and expressed their gratitude.
Lu Ye returned the bow. "Fellow Daoists, you don't have to be so polite. I was just saving myself. It's a pity that many of you lost your lives in the end."
Xie Yunhan sighed. "It's fate. Brother Lu, it's already very impressive that you can save us."
Although everyone didn't know how Lu Ye had the ability to command such a pack of wolves to help in the battle, no matter how powerful and numerous the wolves were, they might not be able to do anything against the power of the Fox Immortal Valley at its peak.
Lu Ye's choice to make a move after the bloody battle with the Giant Berserk Ape in the Fox Immortal Valley was undoubtedly the wisest choice. Moreover, when the Demon Wolves besieged them, they had clearly received orders in advance to only surround them and not kill them. Otherwise, there probably wouldn't be many people standing here now.
"No matter what, we've finally escaped the Demon Fox's control. This is a blessing. Everyone, you don't have to be so worried. Think about your sect, think about your brothers and sisters. In the future, we don't have to be slaves anymore," Zhou Yuntian said.
Someone said faintly, "Fellow Daoist Zhou, now that you mention it … I miss home."
Everyone suddenly fell silent as a look of longing appeared in their eyes. In the Fox Immortal Valley, with the Demon Fox's orders, no one dared to communicate with the outside world. All these years, the relatives and friends of the Fox Immortal Valley cultivators had been searching for them and sending them messages … Previously, when they were under the Demon Fox's control, they didn't think much of it. Now that they were free, a tsunami-like longing immediately surged up.
"Then … let's go home?" Someone whispered softly.
Zhou Yuntian raised his arm and shouted, "If we don't go back now, then when?"
Once the longing surged up, it could no longer be controlled. Everyone couldn't wait to return to their sects, their hometowns, and tell their families about the pain of separation.
"Let's go home!" Someone shouted.
For a moment, everyone was excited.
Zhou Yuntian turned to look at Lu Ye, "Fellow Daoist Lu, what do you plan to do?"
Lu Ye thought for a moment, "Senior Brother and I just entered the Cloudy River Battlefield not long ago, so we won't be returning for the time being. Moreover, I'm still injured and need to rest for a while. Fellow Daoists, please feel free to leave."
Zhou Yuntian originally wanted to persuade Lu Ye to leave with them. After all, this was the depths of the Great Mang Mountains and there were many powerful Demon Beasts. However, he suddenly remembered that Lu Ye had a pack of Demon Wolves protecting him, so there shouldn't be any danger. He didn't say anything else and nodded, "Since that's the case, Fellow Daoist Lu, please take care. If you need help in the future, just let me know."
Everyone said their goodbyes to Lu Ye and exchanged their battlefield imprints with him.
A moment later, many cultivators flew up on their artifacts and quickly left under the gazes of Lu Ye, Li Baxian, and the others. This group of people all had decent cultivations, so as long as they didn't encounter any Overlord Demon Beasts, they wouldn't be in any danger.
Almost at the same time that Zhou Yuntian and the others left, Lu Ye suddenly had a strange feeling. It was as if something had fallen from the sky and landed on his body. The back of his hand also felt slightly warm.
