Song Zhui knew about Ying Wu Ji's ability. He could kill True Lake Realm Ghost Cultivators.
It was impossible for such a powerful Ghost Cultivator to fail when dealing with a Fifth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator.
However, Ying Wu Ji had escaped with serious injuries, which made Song Zhui's originally confident plan disappear in an instant.
How did Ying Wu Ji get exposed? Song Zhui really couldn't figure it out.
But it was meaningless to think about it now. Ying Wu Ji had escaped and could no longer be counted on. If he wanted to kill Lu Ye … he could only attack!
In fact, Song Zhui didn't want to do this because even if he killed Lu Ye, he wouldn't get many benefits in the end. At most, it would increase his fame and prestige. In the future, when the cultivators of Myriad Demon Ridge talked about Lu Yi Ye, they would think that he died in an operation led by Song Zhui.
What use did fame and prestige have to him? Only practical resources were real benefits.
The smile on Song Zhui's face disappeared and his expression became serious. Only now did he realize that he seemed to have underestimated Lu Yi Ye.
Letting out a soft breath, Song Zhui said, "My proposal just now, Fellow Daoist Lu hasn't given an answer yet."
"I refuse!"
The resolute answer fell into his ears and Song Zhui nodded slightly.
As expected, if Lu Ye really agreed to such a thing, he would be crazy. As Song Zhui said before, even ants wanted to live, let alone cultivators.
"Then what is the deal that Fellow Daoist Lu mentioned?"
The corner of Lu Ye's mouth rose slightly, showing a rare smile to a stranger, then raised his hand and waved gently.
The space in front of him rippled and an object suddenly appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
Song Zhui's eyes narrowed and many Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators looked at the object that suddenly appeared in astonishment. It was something that no cultivator was unfamiliar with, something that everyone had encountered countless times.
A low voice came from the crowd, "The Heaven's Fate Pillar!"
There was actually a Heaven's Secret Pillar in a small Spiritual Land, and from the looks of it, it had been there for a long time, but it had always been concealed by a Spirit Array, so no one had noticed it. It was only now that Lu Ye had taken the initiative to reveal it to everyone.
What was there to play with?
With the Tianji Pillar, Lu Yiye and the others could use the Tianji Pillar to return to the Nine Prefectures at any time. Even if there were thousands or tens of thousands of them, what could they do?
Unless they could stop those people before they came into contact with the Tian Ji Pillar, but at this moment, many of the Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators were still outside the range of the Spirit Land Formation, so it was impossible for them to do such a thing.
In other words, Lu Ye and the others could withdraw at any time.
Song Zhui finally came to his senses. No wonder Li Baxian and the others had been standing quietly behind Lu Ye without batting an eyelid. It turned out that they had something like this to rely on …
At this moment, Song Zhui felt that it was extremely laughable when he recalled his previous suggestions and words.
His heart was filled with resentment. Previously, he had heard that Lu Yiye had managed to summon a Divine Pillar from the Hunting Ground and managed to escape from the encirclement. Now, he had actually managed to summon another one from this spiritual land.
This was something that was worth 100,000 merit points …
While the vast majority of cultivators were still rushing about for tens of thousands of merit points, Lu Yiye was able to invite the Pillars of Heavenly Secrets one after another.
He couldn't help but feel the same indignation as Xia Liang and Tan Sheng.
How rich was this dog!
What made Song Zhui feel even more resentful was that the person who had secretly leaked the information did not mention this matter at all. If he had known that there was a Divine Pillar in Lu Ye's spiritual land, he would have been more careful. He would have made sure to give Lu Ye a fatal blow before taking action, instead of leading hundreds of people to pressure him.
This was Song Zhui's misunderstanding.
This time, the source of the information about Lu Ye's hiding place came from Tu Guanxiong of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land.
Tu Guanxiong also did not know that there was a Divine Pillar here …
Back then, Xia Liang had secretly mentioned this matter to Huo Liaoyuan, but Huo Liaoyuan relied on his Death Arena and did not care. In the end, Huo Liaoyuan died on the Death Arena and no one knew about this matter.
The only people who knew about this matter were Xia Liang and Tan Sheng, but the two had already made up their minds to let the people of the Myriad Devil Ridge force Lu Ye to give up the spiritual land, so they naturally would not publicize it.
After seeing the Divine Pillar, the cultivators of the Myriad Devil Ridge, who were originally confident of victory, lost their fighting spirit and all of them felt that this trip was boring.
They were too far away and could not stop Lu Ye and the others before they came into contact with the Divine Pillar. The ghost cultivators who were originally hiding in the dark might have a chance, but after learning from their mistakes, how would those ghost cultivators dare to casually sneak into the spiritual land now?
After the Divine Pillar was revealed, no one spoke for a full ten breaths.
In the end, it was Song Zhui who broke the silence. "The deal that Fellow Daoist Lu mentioned, is it related to this item?"
Lu Ye did not directly answer. Instead, he said, "There are so many of you gathered here for my life. Perhaps … I can give you a chance?"
Behind him, Li Baxian frowned and suddenly felt that something was not right. Feng Yuechan also sensed it and turned to look at Li Baxian.
Both of them felt that Lu Ye's actions today were a little strange, but they did not disturb him out of trust. However, they did not know what Lu Ye was planning.
Only Giant Armor stood there motionless like a mountain, as if he did not care. His thoughts were simple. If there was a fight, he would rush to the front. If there was no fight, he would guard here.
"What do you mean?" Song Zhui did not understand.
"Very simple!" Lu Ye looked at him. "I will leave here, but you people of the Myriad Devil Ridge cannot break into my spiritual land!"
"Little Junior Brother!" Li Baxian immediately shouted. At this moment, he finally understood what Lu Ye was planning. He did not understand Lu Ye's actions. After all, escaping back to the Nine States was the safest choice. Why did Little Junior Brother say such a thing?
Lu Ye turned his back to him and said in a low voice, "Senior Brother, since I have been targeted by the people of the Myriad Devil Ridge, there is no way I can hide. Unless I stay in the Nine States and not enter the Cloudy River Battlefield, there will be all kinds of people who want to kill me. Last time, there was Xia Liang and the others who somehow found this place. What about next time? No matter how well I hide, there will still be people who will come looking for me. "
"Rather than hiding in one place, it is better to wander around. This way, it will be difficult for others to lock onto my position. As for safety, Senior Brother does not need to worry too much. There are indeed many people who are stronger than me on the Cloudy River Battlefield, but there should not be many who are faster than me. Moreover, I am very familiar with being hunted. Since the Spirit Stream Battlefield, those who have tried to kill me have not had a good ending."
The last sentence made Li Baxian's heart ache. Thinking back to his Little Junior Brother's various encounters on the Spirit Stream Battlefield, he was indeed often in a situation where he was being hunted.
"I understand what you are saying, but we cannot do this. Little Junior Brother, let's retreat from the Nine States according to the plan. We can talk about other things in the future."
"Senior Brother, blindly hiding will not solve the problem. Only a strong counterattack will make them afraid. Since they dare to target me, I will kill them! If I hide this time, there will be a next time, and a next time. Senior Brother does not want to see me hide whenever I encounter trouble, right? "
"Then I will go with you!"
Lu Ye shook his head. "Senior Brother, you can stay here and cultivate. Also, help me look after Giant Armor. With Giant Armor's personality, if no one restrains him, who knows what he will do. Moreover, it is more convenient for me to move alone."
Li Baxian wanted to say something more, but Feng Yuechan gently tugged on his sleeve and said, "Junior Brother Lu, if you really do this, you will be in danger at all times. Are you confident?"
"Anything depends on effort!"
In the air, Song Zhui was stunned for a long time before he finally reacted. He asked in astonishment, "This is the deal that Fellow Daoist Lu mentioned?"
"That's right!"
Song Zhui frowned. He did not know what Lu Ye wanted to do.
In the current situation, using the Heaven's Fate Pillar to return to the Nine States was the safest and most correct choice. However, he had proposed such a deal. This was undoubtedly a huge risk. At most, he would only be able to protect a spiritual land, but it would give the Myriad Demon Ridge an opportunity.
However, the Myriad Demon Ridge had no reason to refuse such a deal. In fact, they would be happy to see it.
Therefore, after pondering for a moment, Song Zhui nodded. "Alright!"
No matter what the other party wanted to do, there was nothing wrong with agreeing.
"Do I need to swear a Heaven's Fate Oath?" Song Zhui asked. This deal was too friendly to the Myriad Demon Ridge. It was so friendly that Song Zhui would not feel at ease if he did not swear a Heaven's Fate Oath.
"No need!" Lu Ye indifferently said. As he spoke, he stepped to the side.
"Junior Brother!" Li Baxian still wanted to stop Lu Ye and grabbed his arm.
Lu Ye looked at him with a smile. "Senior Brother, don't worry too much. There's no harm in experiencing more hardships."
Their eyes met. Li Baxian saw the determination in Lu Ye's eyes. How could he not know that Lu Ye was right? After dodging this time, there would be a next time and a next time. He could not dodge in such a sorry state every time, but he was still worried.
Even though Lu Ye was now able to stand on his own, the person in front of him was still the Junior Brother who needed his and Wei Yang's protection on the golden peak.
After a long time, Li Baxian said, "Be careful!"
He also wanted to go with Lu Ye, but if he did, Feng Yuechan would definitely follow. At that time, Giant Armor could not be left behind. The four of them moving together was far less convenient than Lu Ye moving alone.
"I know!" Lu Ye replied with a smile.
Li Baxian let go of his arm.
Lu Ye walked to the side and stood still. He circulated his spirit power and the lines of a large formation quickly lit up under his feet.
Song Zhui and the group of Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators stared in confusion, not knowing what the formation was.
Within the formation, Lu Ye looked up at Song Zhui and said softly, "Remember my deal with you. If anyone dares to break into my spiritual land, I will return to the Spirit Stream Battlefield and destroy their sect's encampment!"
Song Zhui finally understood why Lu Ye did not need him to swear a Heaven's Fate Oath.
Although the Heaven's Fate Oath had an absolute binding effect, Lu Ye's threat was not bad. With this sentence, before Lu Ye died, no one would dare to have any ideas about this spiritual land.
