"I wouldn't dare!" Huo Liaoyuan replied through gritted teeth.
Suddenly, a fluctuation of Spirit Energy came from afar. Huo Liaoyuan turned his head and found that the source of the movement was the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land cultivators' encampment.
"Not good!" Huo Liaoyuan shouted and immediately realized what had happened.
Lu Yiye had taken advantage of the time when he was busy with Xia Liang and Tan Sheng to go around and kill his way back!
He didn't have time to say anything to Xia Liang and Tan Sheng. He turned around and rushed towards the entrance of Returning Sky Valley.
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng looked at each other and Xia Liang said, "Let's go and take a look."
Since they had been exposed, there was no need to hide anymore.
At the entrance of Returning Sky Valley, Huo Liaoyuan hurried back and found that two more disciples had been killed and lying in a pool of blood.
"Where are they?" Huo Liaoyuan asked.
A Sacred Flame Sect disciple replied, "They escaped!"
Huo Liaoyuan's blood boiled. He had nowhere to vent his anger. At the same time, he was puzzled. Lu Yiye was a Weapon Cultivator. How could he use the means of a Ghost Cultivator? Even with the help of a Spirit Talisman, he shouldn't have been able to appear and disappear so mysteriously.
The other party had attacked twice and five cultivators had died. Although the losses were negligible compared to the losses during the day, this kind of enemy hiding in the dark was the most terrifying.
Initially, he wanted to stay here and wait for his side to gather enough manpower before attacking the spiritual land. However, that would take time.
If they continued to wait, their losses would only be greater. When the time came, they might lose more people than they had gathered!
Retreating from here was a good choice, but where could they retreat to? Moreover, if they retreated, who knew if Lu Yiye would escape?
If they missed this opportunity, they might not have such a good opportunity again. Feeling the anxious atmosphere, Huo Liaoyuan knew that he had to end the battle quickly if he wanted to take down Lu Yiye.
He turned to look at Xia Liang and Tan Sheng and said with a serious expression, "Fellow Daoists, how about joining forces?"
Of course, Yang Kai hated these two, but in the current situation, he needed to borrow their strength. The strength of two Ninth Order Cloud River Realm cultivators could not be underestimated. If he could borrow their strength, he might have a chance to succeed.
Xia Liang pondered for a moment and said, "Joining forces is not a problem. However, if the other party hides in the spiritual land, what can we do even if we join forces? Unless Fellow Daoist Huo is willing to attack by force. However, I believe that Fellow Daoist Huo is unwilling to take this step, right?"
Although the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land had suffered heavy losses, it did not mean that they did not have the capital to attack. However, even if they could take down Lu Ye, they would still suffer heavy losses. Xia Liang did not think that the Fire Prairie would lose their minds to such an extent.
Huo Liaoyuan said indifferently, "How can you be so sure that I won't attack by force?"
Xia Liang's expression couldn't help but change as he looked at Huo Liaoyuan in surprise, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.
Huo Liaoyuan looked in the direction of the spirit land and said indifferently, "After dawn, we'll attack Huitian Valley. At that time, we'll need your help. After we're done, I'll give you 20% of the bounty on Lu Yiye!"
This time, not only was Xia Liang surprised, even Tan Sheng was confused.
Huo Liaoyuan was obviously very confident in taking down Lu Yiye. However, if they attacked by force, both sides would suffer heavy losses. Was Huo Liaoyuan really willing to do this?
"40%!" Xia Liang couldn't understand, but it didn't stop him from bargaining.
Huo Liaoyuan shook his head and said, "Fellow Daoist Xia, you must be joking. Although the two of you are strong, to me, you're just icing on the cake. Even without your help, Lu Yiye will definitely die. I'm willing to give you 20% of the bounty just to reduce the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land's losses. If the two of you aren't willing to join forces, I won't force you."
He acted as if he had Lu Ye under his control, which confused Xia Liang and Tan Sheng.
After a moment of silence, Xia Liang said, "Fellow Daoist Huo, you might not know this, but there's actually a Divine Pillar in Lu Yiye's spiritual land."
He had never revealed this information before. During the battle during the day, the location of the Divine Pillar was also concealed, so the cultivators of the two sects did not notice it.
Huo Liaoyuan was surprised, "Are you sure?"
"I saw it with my own eyes." Xia Liang nodded, "So no matter what plans you have, if you really want to kill him, you must seize the location of the Divine Pillar as soon as possible. You must not let Lu Yiye get close."
"I understand. I'll arrange this matter later." Huo Liaoyuan nodded.
Xia Liang looked at him deeply and said, "It's good that you know what to do."
After a few simple sentences, they confirmed the matter of joining forces. Xia Liang and Tan Sheng found a secluded place to meditate.
Huo Liaoyuan also gave the order to attack Huitian Valley after daybreak. Although the cultivators of the two sects had yet to recover from the trauma of the previous battle, they began to sharpen their weapons and secretly prepare.
Xia Liang and Tan Sheng held back for a long time. Tan Sheng couldn't help but ask softly, "Brother Xia, do you really think that Huo Liaoyuan will attack Lu Yiye's spiritual land?"
"Since he said so, it must be true."
Tan Sheng shook his head slightly, "Although this is the first time we've met, Huo Liaoyuan is a scheming person. The Holy Eaves Spiritual Land has already suffered great losses. If we attack forcefully, even if we take down Lu Yiye, the losses will outweigh the gains. Why would such a person make such a decision? He's even willing to share 20% of the profits with us … Brother Xia, we should be careful. Huo Liaoyuan isn't very friendly to us. "
Xia Liang nodded, "I know. We'll act according to the situation tomorrow. But I'm concerned about something else … "
"What is it?"
"Huo Liaoyuan didn't ask me about the location of Lu Yiye's Divine Pillar." Xia Liang was confused.
His decision to reveal the Tian Ji Pillar to the Fire Prairie was naturally not out of kindness. Instead, he was afraid that the Fire Prairie would push Lu Ye too far and force him to leave. At that time, all his efforts would be for naught.
However, Huo Liaoyuan was surprised when he heard the news, but he didn't ask anything else. This was obviously abnormal. It was as if the existence of the Divine Pillar didn't interfere with his plan at all. Therefore, there was no need to ask about it in detail.
Tan Sheng recalled their conversation and quickly realized this. He frowned and said, "What is he trying to do?"
"No matter what he's trying to do, we'll know in the morning."
It wasn't far from dawn.
More than two hours later, the sky gradually brightened. Under Huo Liaoyuan's command, the cultivators of the two sects who were already prepared launched an attack on the spiritual land. In an instant, the concealment formation lost its effect and the scenery of the spiritual land was imprinted in their vision.
There was no defensive formation to obstruct them because Lu Ye didn't set it up.
Lu Ye flashed out of the spiritual land and frowned when he saw nearly a hundred cultivators approaching the edge of the spiritual land.
Was this … a forceful attack? No matter how angry Huo Liaoyuan was, he wouldn't make such a stupid decision, right? Did he not care about the lives of his subordinates?
Or was it that his two sneak attacks yesterday made him so angry that he lost his mind? However, looking at the opponent's orderly formation, it didn't seem to be the case.
Li Baxian, Feng Yuechan, and Giant Armor appeared together and stood beside Lu Ye.
"Little Junior Brother!"
"The situation isn't good this time." Lu Ye's expression was solemn. He saw Xia Liang and Tan Sheng's figures in the opponent's camp.
This was within his expectations. Xia Liang and Tan Sheng who were hiding in the dark were forced out by him. The best choice was naturally to join forces with the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land.
It seemed to strengthen the enemy's strength, but in fact, the vipers hiding in the dark were the most terrifying. Now that they were in the open, the threat level was reduced by a lot.
Lu Ye turned to look at Giant Armor. "If we can't stop them, use the Tianji Pillar to escape back to the Nine States, understand?"
He wasn't worried about Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan. They would definitely run if the situation was not right. He was only worried about Giant Armor.
After a few demon wolves died yesterday, Giant Armor was immersed in a sorrowful atmosphere for the entire day. He might not be willing to abandon the wolf pack and escape.
Giant Armor glanced at the nearby demon wolves and remained silent.
"If you die, you'll lose everything. If you live, you can still take revenge!" Lu Ye persuaded earnestly.
Giant Armor lowered his head and remained silent.
Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh and stopped persuading him.
"Kill!" Outside the spiritual land, the cultivators of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land stepped into the area covered by the Air-sealing Spell Formation along with Huo Liaoyuan's angry roar. After what happened yesterday, they naturally couldn't fly in the air.
The Returning Heaven Spiritual Land was a small spiritual land and didn't occupy a large area.
However, in order to take care of the wolf pack, Lu Ye set up a large array. Whether it was the concealment array, the protection array, or the Air-sealing Spell Formation, they were all far larger than the spiritual land itself. They covered a radius of a few hundred feet.
The cultivators of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land stepped into the edge of the array. They were still a few hundred feet away from Lu Ye and the others. This distance was naturally not within the attack range.
Many cultivators marched forward in unison, pressuring the spiritual land. Everyone's spiritual energy was surging, ready to strike at any moment.
The wolf pack also moved. They bared their teeth and the demon energy around them surged.
A great battle was about to break out!
It wasn't until they were less than a hundred feet away that the cultivators of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land attacked together under Huo Liaoyuan's command. In an instant, the light of Imperial Equipment and spells bloomed and surged toward the wolf pack.
At the same time, the wolf pack also counterattacked with wind blades. However, they were much fewer in number than the cultivators. After all, there weren't many demon wolves that could use this demonic technique.
The wolf pack was undoubtedly at a disadvantage in such a long-distance battle. The head wolf clearly understood this and howled toward the sky.
In the next moment, the wolf pack rushed forward. Wolf howls echoed from afar as snow-white figures dashed forward. The distance of a hundred feet was quickly closed.
Some of the Demon Wolves were hit by spells or Imperial Equipment, causing them to stagger. However, the Demon Wolves were strong and had Demon Essence to protect their bodies. As long as the Demon Essence was not broken, their lives would not be in danger.
Giant Armor's burly figure was mixed in with the wolf pack. Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan followed closely behind the wolf pack. A hundred swords flew and spells buzzed, showing off their powerful foundation.
Only Lu Ye remained in the same place. He only activated the nine Imperial Equipment on his waist to relieve the pressure of the wolf pack.
The battle erupted and the scene instantly became lively.
