Night fell and darkness enveloped the sky. A new moon rose and the stars twinkled in the sky.
In a mountain wilderness about five hundred kilometres away from Returning Heaven Valley, several cultivators were besieging a blue-eyed porcupine.
Even though the Taimang Mountains were filled with danger, there were many fortuitous encounters hidden within it. There were rare demon beasts, rare medicinal herbs, and many minerals that were difficult to find outside. All of these fortuitous encounters were extremely attractive to cultivators.
Cultivators were a group of people who liked to pursue profits. Because cultivation required a lot of resources, the monthly salary that each sect gave to their disciples was not enough to meet the needs of the cultivators. This was the case for both large and small sects.
It was not that the Sects were stingy, but they used this method to encourage their disciples to obtain more cultivation resources through their own means. At the same time, they used this method to sharpen their disciples.
Otherwise, if one only knew how to cultivate and did not know how to fight, no matter how high one's cultivation was, it would only be an empty shell.
Only Lu Ye could take cultivation resources from his Sect's Treasury without any restrictions … The large amount of resources in the Sect's Treasury were all plundered by him from Myriad Demons Ridge and belonged to him. Although Shui Yuan was nominally in charge of the distribution of the Sect's resources, how could she make things difficult for him over such a trivial matter?
Before Lu Ye, although the Blue Blood Sect could not be said to be poor, it did not have many resources. Shui Yuan's cultivation was even affected. Otherwise, with her aptitude, she could have broken through to the Spirit Sea Realm long ago. Why would she have delayed until last year?
Now, the Blue Blood Sect had accumulated an incalculable amount of resources in the Sect's Treasury due to Lu Ye's various actions.
In the Great Mang Mountains, blue-eyed porcupines were a very common Monster Beast. They could be found everywhere in the Great Mang Mountains. Although they were common, they were very valuable Monster Beasts. Their skin and flesh were extremely tender and had a certain effect on Body Tempering. If eaten over a long period of time, it could improve one's vitality.
Not to mention, Monster Generals had Monster Cores in their bodies.
The stronger the blue-eyed porcupine, the more valuable it was.
Several Myriad Demons Ridge cultivators were dealing with this blue-eyed porcupine. Judging from its Monster Qi fluctuations, it was a Monster General comparable to an Eighth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator.
Several cultivators at the Sixth or Seventh Order cooperated with each other, with the strong Body Cultivator attracting the blue-eyed porcupine's attention, while the remaining Armament Cultivators, Dharma Cultivators, and Ghost Cultivators waited for an opportunity to attack. The situation was under their control.
The battle had been going on for quite some time. The Blue-eyed Porcupine's body was covered in wounds, and its body was dyed red with blood. Its throat constantly emitted low growls, but it was still a trapped beast. Every time it tried to break out of the encirclement and escape, it would be beaten back by a violent attack.
If nothing unexpected happened, it wouldn't take long for them to take down this Demonic Beast.
Their search for Lu Ye was fruitless. Since they encountered a monster beast with decent value, they decided to take it down. This kind of thing didn't just happen to these Myriad Devil Ridge cultivators. Looking at the current Tai Mang Mountains, similar scenes could be seen everywhere.
The few of them were concentrating on dealing with the demonic beasts in front of them. No one would have thought that in the darkness, a figure was quietly approaching them.
It wasn't until a strange sound was heard, accompanied by a short scream that they were shocked.
Turning their heads to look, they saw the Armament Cultivator in the group kneeling on the ground with his hand covering his chest. Behind the Armament Cultivator, a figure had appeared out of nowhere and was pulling out a long saber from the Armament Cultivator's body.
When everyone turned their heads, that person pounced towards the spell cultivator at the side at lightning speed. His speed was extremely fast.
The Dharma Cultivator was in the middle of casting a spell. Seeing this scene, he panicked and hurriedly stopped casting his spell. His figure quickly retreated while madly urging his Body Protecting Spirit Energy.
In the blink of an eye, a figure appeared in front of the Dharma Cultivator. The strong sense of oppression made it difficult for the Dharma Cultivator to breathe. He instinctively urged his Spirit Energy, and at the same time, a huge repulsive force swept out in all directions. However, the figure that suddenly appeared in front of him suddenly disappeared. At the same time, he caught a glimpse of a flash of saber light from the side.
The Dharma Cultivator's Body Protecting Spirit Energy only lasted for less than two breaths before it completely shattered. The last thing he felt was a trace of insignificant pain spreading through his body. But soon, the pain became extremely clear and intense, causing him to scream.
The bright saber light flashed past, and the scream came to an abrupt end.
"Lu Yi Ye!" A cry of alarm rang out. It was the Ghost Cultivator who shouted. His heart was filled with horror. In just two breaths of time, two of the team of four had died. His heart was filled with grief and confusion.
Wasn't Lu Yi Ye a Armament Cultivator? But looking at the method he used just now, it was clearly something only a Ghost Cultivator could use. Did he also cultivate a Ghost Cultivator Sect?
He had never heard of such a thing …
Despite his surprise and horror, he still instinctively rushed towards Lu Yi Ye to kill him.
After all, he was a Seventh Order cultivator, while Lu Yi Ye was only a Fifth Order cultivator. The other party was able to kill his companions by relying on a sneak attack. Now that his figure had been exposed, there was no reason for him to miss it.
As long as he killed Lu Yi Ye, how could a trivial Blue Eye Porcupine compare to the bounty he would receive? It would be countless Blue Eye Porcupines!
He seemed to be able to see the scene of him soaring in the future with the huge bounty on his head.
However, after three breaths of time, the excitement in his heart was completely replaced by deep horror.
As the Spirit Artifacts collided, sparks flew everywhere. The Seventh Order Ghost Cultivator stumbled back with a look of disbelief on his face. In a head-on confrontation, he was completely suppressed by a Fifth Order Armament Cultivator …
It wasn't just suppression, it was simply crushing.
The strength, speed, and adaptability of the other party's attacks far exceeded his own.
After five breaths of time, the Ghost Cultivator's arms were completely numb, and his Spirit Qi was extremely scattered from the collision.
After another two breaths, a head flew up and a headless corpse fell to the ground.
Lu Yi immediately turned around and charged towards the Body Cultivator.
The Body Cultivator's eyes were about to pop out of their sockets. He was not only heartbroken over the death of his companions, but also horrified by the powerful strength displayed by Lu Yi. A Fifth Order cultivator had killed three of his companions in a short period of time. If it hadn't happened right under his nose, he wouldn't have believed it.
When Lu Yi killed the second Spirit Cultivator, the Body Cultivator wanted to help, but the injured Blue Eyed Porcupine seemed to have gone crazy. It charged at him again and again, and the Body Cultivator couldn't escape at all.
A Monster General comparable to an Eighth Order Cloud River Realm cultivator could be easily defeated by the four of them working together, but if he was alone, he could barely contend against it.
If he left it alone, the Body Cultivator was sure that the Blue Eyed Porcupine's fangs would make a few holes in his body.
Seeing his third Ghost Cultivator companion die under Lu Yi's blade, the Body Cultivator realized that he was in big trouble this time …
When Lu Yi joined the attack, the Seventh Order Body Cultivator's death was already destined. The Blue Eyed Porcupine seemed to know that Lu Yi wasn't an enemy. Its scarlet eyes only focused on the Body Cultivator, ignoring Lu Yi.
The moment his Spirit Qi protection collapsed, the Body Cultivator let the Blue Eyed Porcupine pierce two holes in his waist and abdomen. The Spirit Artifact shield in his hand blocked Lu Yi's slash. Then, he pushed his Spirit Qi and let out a long howl!
Song Zhui had said before that if he found any trace of Lu Yi Ye, he would let out a long howl to warn him. At the last moment of his life, he finally remembered this.
Of course, he wouldn't have a good end, but he definitely wouldn't let Lu Yi have it easy either.
The howl stopped when the Mountain Coiling Saber slashed down. Lu Yi didn't even have time to collect his spoils of war. He plunged into the night and quickly disappeared.
The Blue Eyed Porcupine, covered in blood, also rushed in another direction and fled.
A short while later, a team rushed over after hearing the howl. All they saw were four corpses lying on the ground. The battlefield was a mess, and the thick smell of blood assailed their nostrils.
…
In another location, three cultivators had just experienced a battle of hunting Demonic Beasts, and they were meditating and adjusting their breathing.
Among the three, one of them cultivated the Dao of Spirit Arrays as well. Before meditating, he had set up a few simple Warning Arrays nearby. If a Monster Beast approached, the Array would warn them.
This was also the reason why the three of them dared to meditate together with peace of mind.
However, when Lu Ye lurked here, those simple warning arrays didn't work at all.
He was a Formation Cultivator himself, so his attainments in the Dao of Spirit Arrays were much higher than the Magic Cultivator's. Even if he didn't activate his Clear Vision Spirit Patterns, he could still see some traces of Array Formations with his naked eye.
In his field of vision, the other party's Array Formations weren't refined at all.
Approaching the target, suddenly launching an attack, the battle erupting abruptly and ending quickly …
A dozen breaths later, when Lu Ye collected his spoils of war and left, only three corpses remained on the ground.
…
A strange floral fragrance wafted through the air. Some cultivators followed the fragrance and found this place. They immediately saw a purple flower growing between the cracks of the rocks. The peanut had five petals, and each petal had some strange patterns. At first glance, it looked as if there was an open eye growing on it.
Although the cultivator attracted by the flower wasn't proficient in medicinal theory, as a qualified cultivator, he still had the eyesight to distinguish some Heavenly Treasures.
He could tell at a glance that this purple flower was a rare medicinal herb. After saying a few words to his companion, he excitedly took out his tools to collect the purple flower.
But the moment he stretched out his hand, a pitch-black saber suddenly attacked from the side. The cultivator didn't even have time to react before the saber pierced through his waist and into his heart.
The saber was pulled out, bringing with it a spray of blood.
His companion instinctively counterattacked in a scream, but what greeted him was a storm of saber lights.
…
A figure flashed through the air, the Spirit Energy fluctuations around him revealing that he was an Eighth Order cultivator.
Even though it was already late, he didn't give up on searching for Lu Ye's whereabouts. He knew that the longer he waited, the more difficult it would be to find Lu Ye. At the same time, he had to guard against the other experts of the Myriad Demon Ridge.
His powerful Eighth Order cultivation was the source of his confidence in acting alone. Some people had invited him to accompany them before, but he had rejected them all.
How could sharing the benefits with others compare to taking the bounty alone? (To be continued)
