If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, it would have been hard to imagine what kind of scene it was when more than two thousand people died in a mine.
Moreover, those were two thousand Cloud River Realm cultivators, with many Eighth or Ninth Order Masters among them.
It had been a long time since such a major event had happened on the Cloud River Battlefield, so even if this news was only known to the cultivators of the Myriad Demon Ridge at first, in just half a day, everyone on the Cloud River Battlefield knew about it.
The Cloud River Battlefield was shaken.
The Nine States was shaken!
As time passed, more and more details were revealed.
It was not a coincidence that more than two thousand cultivators had gathered together. They were chasing after Lu Yiye of the Jade Blood Sect. Before this, they had received news that Lu Yiye was seriously injured and was hiding in the mine to heal. They thought it would be a strong encirclement battle, but somehow, more than twenty million Devil Ridge cultivators died.
Combined with the situation left behind at the scene, many cultivators were killed by poison, and those who had obvious external injuries all had traces of poisoning.
In other words, Lu Yiye had obtained a highly toxic substance from somewhere and used it in that claustrophobic environment. The mine was sealed, and the Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators had no hope of escaping. In the end, they were all wiped out.
In fact, before Xia Liang and Tan Sheng brought people to investigate the situation inside the mine, a lot of news had already been spread.
Many Myriad Demon Ridge cultivators, such as Ming Zhe of the Holy Eaves Spiritual Land, told their fellow disciples what happened in the mine before they died.
Combined with the various information gathered from the scene, everyone could almost imagine the despair of the two thousand people at that time.
More than two thousand people were trapped in a claustrophobic environment and slowly lost the power to resist. Those with weak cultivations were directly poisoned to death, and those with high cultivations were killed by Lu Yiye one by one. In the end, it created that hellish scene.
Lu Yiye again!
Back when he was still in the Spirit Stream Realm, he had caused quite a stir in the Spirit Stream Battlefield, and had even alerted the Spirit Sea Realm cultivators on several occasions. That was especially true after his cultivation base had reached the ninth heaven, and the entire Spirit Stream Battlefield had fallen under his shadow.
His promotion from the Spirit Stream Realm to the Cloud River Realm was stable for a period of time. Only the opening of the Hunting Ground last time caused some disturbances.
But that disturbance couldn't be compared to this one.
Twenty million Devil Ridge cultivators were poisoned to death by one person. How bizarre and terrifying!
Along with the news, there were many questions.
Where did Lu Yiye get such a poisonous thing? In the entire Nine Prefectures, there were many poisons that could kill cultivators at the Cloud River Tier. However, there were very few that could kill so many cultivators at once. Moreover, those poisons were not things that ordinary cultivators at the Cloud River Tier could come into contact with. Even the Tianji Treasure Trove would not sell them. That was because these poisons were things that could break the balance. Tianji Treasure Trove had always been fair and just, so these kinds of things that could break the balance would definitely not appear in the Tianji Treasure Trove.
Moreover, so many cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge had died. Was Lu Yiye dead?
Many cultivators from the Myriad Devil Ridge were poisoned to death. However, there were still many cultivators with higher cultivation and stronger strength who could still fight. Even if their strength was greatly reduced, Lu Yiye alone should not be a match for them.
But soon, there was conclusive news.
Lu Yiye's body was not found in the mine!
In other words, that fellow was definitely still alive, but no one knew where he was hiding.
Combined with this person's ability to set up a teleportation array, he should have used the teleportation array to leave the mine after killing the cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge. Moreover, the storage pouches of the dead cultivators were basically empty.
This guy had killed so many people, and he even had the time to collect the spoils of war … This was simply unreasonable.
The cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge were furious. More and more cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge moved toward the periphery of the Taimang Mountains. They swore to find Lu Yiye and kill him to avenge their fellow cultivators who had died.
Although Lu Yiye had caused a lot of trouble in the past and had killed many cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge, he had never killed so many people at once.
It could be said that such an outrageous thing had never happened in the history of the Nine Prefectures.
In the past, the Myriad Demons Ridge had targeted Lu Yiye more because of their different standpoints and the temptation of the huge reward. However, it was different now. Many of their fellow cultivators, friends, and even family members had died at Lu Yiye's hands. Their conflict with Lu Yiye was not only because of their opposing camps, but also because of their own blood feud.
It could be said that after the news of the battle in the mine spread, the cultivators of the Myriad Demons Ridge became even more eager to kill Lu Yiye. They had never been so eager before.
The cultivators of the Grand Heaven Alliance who heard the news naturally did not want to be left out. They also gathered in this area. They were not here to watch the show, but now that a large number of cultivators from the Myriad Demons Ridge had gathered, it was the best time to secretly hunt.
For a time, this large area was surging with wind and clouds.
In the East Fifty-sixth Heaven's Secret City, there was a hubbub of voices as cultivators came and went. A group of five people entered the city and headed straight for the Heaven's Secret Commerce Alliance.
The cultivation of these five people was not high. They were basically between the Third-Order and Fifth-Order. In the Cloud River Battlefield, such a team was very common.
These five people were Ghost Shadow's team, and the leader was Senior Brother Qin.
"Junior Brother, it's all thanks to you that we were able to survive this time. Let's go, Senior Brother will treat you to some delicious food today. We won't go back until we're drunk!" Senior Brother Qin patted Ghost Shadow's shoulder and laughed.
Thinking back to three days ago, Senior Brother Qin and the others still had lingering fears.
At that time, if Ghost Shadow had not dissuaded them, they would have definitely rushed into the mine with the other cultivators. Only death would have awaited them then.
More than two thousand cultivators had died without leaving a single one! Even a Ninth-Order cultivator like Song Zhui had died …
How could they, a few Third-Order and Fifth-Order cultivators, survive under such circumstances?
When the news of what had happened in the mine spread, everyone felt as if they had just narrowly escaped death. Their gazes towards Ghost Shadow were filled with admiration.
They did not stay there for too long. Previously, they had stayed there to wait for the results. Now that the results were out, and it was a result that shook the entire Nine States, there was naturally no need to stay.
The few of them rushed all the way here, preparing to rest and recuperate for a few days.
"Junior Brother, how is your perception of danger so sharp? Teach Senior Sister, "Senior Sister Hu stood on the other side of Ghost Shadow and said with a smile.
Ghost Shadow shook his head, "It's not that I'm hiding it, but it seems to be my natural instinct. There's no way I can teach it. However, Senior Brother and Senior Sister, if you trust me, please remember one thing."
Senior Brother Qin and Senior Sister Hu's expressions turned serious.
Ghost Shadow said in a serious tone, "Anything related to Lu Yiye is definitely not a good thing. In the future, wherever Lu Yiye appears, even if there are great benefits, you must avoid him!"
"So strange?" Senior Sister Hu raised her eyebrows slightly.
Ghost Shadow sighed, "I've been involved in matters related to him three times in a row, but every time, a large number of cultivators died tragically. Especially this time …" While speaking, he could not help but shiver.
Senior Brother Qin nodded, "We'll remember your words. In the future, wherever Lu Yiye appears, we'll take a detour. Isn't that simple?"
The few of them chatted and laughed as they entered a restaurant.
The few of them were usually traveling outside, so they didn't have the chance to come to this kind of place to eat. But this time, no matter what, they had survived a great disaster, so it didn't matter if they indulged a little and relaxed their mood.
In the same city, in a guest room on the third floor of the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance.
Lu Ye was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, looking like he was better off dead.
Hu Po was lying on the ground beside him. He looked up at him and reached his claws into the storage pouch hanging around his neck. He took out a Yao Core and stuffed it into his mouth, crunching it.
Yiyi sat not far from Lu Ye. She took out the items from the storage pouches one by one and put them away by category. Seeing Lu Ye's lazy appearance, she said, "If you're tired, then rest."
"I'm not tired!" Lu Ye jumped up.
He had never thought that having so many spoils of war could also be a kind of trouble.
He had collected many storage pouches in the past, but none of them were as exaggerated as this time.
There were 20 million Devil Ridge cultivators. On average, each of them had two or three storage pouches or more. Even if he had missed some during his search, the number of storage pouches he had collected this time was as high as 5,000.
If these storage pouches all belonged to Spirit Stream Tier cultivators, he would not have to worry. He could pack them all up and sell them to the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance. In any case, there were not many good things in the storage pouches of Spirit Stream Tier cultivators.
However, the owners of these storage pouches were all at the Cloud River Tier, so he could not deal with them so casually.
Who knew if there were any treasures inside?
He could only open them one by one. Although Lu Ye's efficiency in opening restriction locks was very high, such a large number made him a little numb.
Three days ago, he left the bloody mine through the transportation formation he had left behind. After that, he did not delay and dragged his tired body all the way to this Heavenly Secret City. This was because he knew that the longer he delayed, the more disadvantageous it would be for him. The Devil Ridge cultivators who had died in the mine were definitely not all. There were definitely more people gathering in that direction.
If he delayed for too long, he might fall into an encirclement again.
If he did not have so many spoils of war, he could still hide outside with the concealment and aura-concealing spirit inscriptions. However, it was unrealistic to hide with so many spoils of war. To him, entering the Heavenly Secret Commerce Alliance to rest and reorganize was the safest and most reliable thing.
His journey was safe and sound. After entering this place, he asked for a guest room and rested peacefully for a day.
It was not until today that he had completely recovered. Under Yiyi's urging, he began to open the restriction locks.
However, there were too many of them …
Looking at the storage pouches piled up like a small mountain in front of him, Lu Ye was more willing to fight a battle of wits and courage with the Devil Ridge cultivators.
However, this was still a large amount of wealth. Therefore, even if he was frustrated, he could only be patient and open the restriction locks one by one.
Yiyi was in charge of checking the items in the storage pouches and then sorting out the useful items.
