The only way to achieve twice the result with half the effort was to attack the nodes of the Spirit Array.
However, the nodes of any Spirit Array were constantly changing according to the flow of Spirit Qi. Even for Array Cultivators, it was not easy to deduce the location of the nodes.
It was even more difficult to deduce the nodes and attack at the same time.
[Is this saber-wielding brat really that lucky?] [Did he hit the nodes with just one slash?]
Just as this person was thinking this, Lu Ye slashed a second time.
An even more violent movement was heard, and the protective light curtain above the Spirit Ship rippled even more violently. Even the Spirit Ship shook violently.
The few Heaven Canyon Sect cultivators standing on the deck didn't put Lu Ye in their eyes. Although they didn't have any decent Masters on this trip, they had a lot of people, seven or eight of them.
What they were afraid of was the Ninth Order cultivator coughing blood. Even if he looked like he was about to die, who knew if he was real? Moreover, even if he was seriously injured, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Therefore, when faced with the provocation of this cultivator coughing blood, they just hid on the Spirit Ship and didn't dare to act rashly.
Who would have thought that a Sixth Order cultivator would cause such a big disturbance in the Spirit Ship's protective Spirit Array? For a moment, the cultivators on the deck couldn't stand still. A fierce-looking male cultivator with a long scar on his face shouted, "Where did this brat come from? How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Heaven Canyon Sect in Snow Province? Leave immediately, or you will die without a burial place."
Someone else also shouted, "We have already contacted the Sect's Elders. Just wait for your death!"
As soon as these words came out, Lu Ye didn't care, but the man coughing blood looked worried. He wasn't afraid, but worried that if they delayed for too long, the Masters of Heaven Canyon Sect would arrive, and the abducted mortals wouldn't be able to be saved.
He was more worried that Lu Ye would be afraid and leave.
After all, in Snow Province, Heaven Canyon Sect was very famous, and no one dared to provoke them.
Turning his head, he saw that Lu Ye had already slashed a third time …
* Kacha … *
There seemed to be a shattering sound in the depths of their hearts, and a crack appeared on the Spirit Ship's protective Spirit Array.
The cultivators of the Heavenly Gorge Sect who had been yelling incessantly were terrified by this scene, and their expressions all changed.
On the contrary, the man coughing up blood couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh. "Good!"
At this point, how could he not see that Lu Ye wasn't just lucky? Instead, he had really seen through the nodes of the Array, and every slash of his blade had landed on the nodes.
This person must be an extremely brilliant array cultivator. Otherwise, there was no reason for him to have such ability.
However, he racked his brains and compared the famous array cultivators in his mind with the person in front of him, but he could not find any similarities. He could not understand when such a person had appeared in the Soaring Dragon Realm. His cultivation was not high, but his array skills were ridiculously high.
Seeing that Lu Ye was about to unleash his fourth strike, the scarred man on the spirit ship gnashed his teeth and shouted, "Brat, you're really courting death!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he rushed towards Lu Ye.
The Protective Spirit Formation only protected the outside but not the inside. He could kill his way out.
Seeing how powerful Lu Ye's methods were, he could no longer sit still and was prepared to kill Lu Ye before retreating. His confidence came from his Seventh-Order cultivation.
"Not good!" The cultivator coughing up blood was thinking about Lu Ye's identity, but he did not expect Heaven Canyon Sect to respond in such a way. His figure flickered and he was about to rush over to help, but he was already seriously injured. The sudden attack made him feel like his whole body was about to fall apart. His vision darkened and he almost fell from the sky.
When he came back to his senses and looked again, he found it unbelievable.
That was because the boy with the saber was still standing alone in front of the spirit ship. Not far in front of him, blood splattered as a head flew off and a headless corpse fell from the sky.
[Huh?] [What happened?]
The man coughing up blood thought that Lu Ye would be defeated, but he never expected that Lu Ye would kill the scarred cultivator just because his vision darkened.
[How did he do it?]
He did not see the scene of Lu Ye killing the enemy, but the Heaven Canyon Sect cultivators saw it clearly.
One slash. With just one slash, the scarred man, who was the strongest among them, was decapitated.
This scene deeply shocked them because even a Cloud River Realm Ninth Order cultivator would not be able to do it so cleanly.
They were really unlucky.
They had been sent out to carry out such a mission. It was fine that they encountered the Ninth Order cultivator coughing up blood. That cultivator was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, so there was nothing to be afraid of. But who was this boy with the saber?
The saber flashed and slashed down again.
* Kacha … *
Spiderweb-like cracks instantly appeared on the light curtain of the protective array. Then, with a crash, it shattered. The Heaven Canyon Sect disciples protected by the array were instantly exposed to the saber.
The man coughing up blood flew over, and Lu Ye also attacked with his saber.
How could the Heaven Canyon Sect cultivators resist the joint attack of the two? They were all killed in a moment.
The man coughing up blood sat on the deck with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, but he still looked up at Lu Ye with a look of approval, "Little Brother, you did well. How should I address you?"
Lu Ye cupped his fists, "Feng Province, Ye Liu."
"Little Brother Ye." The man coughing up blood nodded slightly and saluted back with difficulty, "Qi Province, Zhuang Bu Fan."
As he introduced himself, he glanced at Lu Ye's expression, but he saw that Lu Ye's expression was calm, as if he had never heard of this name before.
Zhuang Bu Fan immediately concluded that this little brat was a greenhorn. Otherwise, it was impossible for him not to have heard of his name.
Thief God Zhuang Bu Fan was a famous figure in the entire Soaring Dragon Realm. Anyone with a bit of knowledge would have heard of him.
"Brother Ye, there is one more thing I must trouble you with," Zhuang Bu Fan said softly.
Lu Ye understood, "Do you want me to release those mortals?" He had some respect for this Zhuang Bu Fan. Zhuang Bu Fan was already seriously injured, but when he saw the mortals suffering, he still jumped out to stop them. It was obvious that he was a kind person.
Zhuang Bu Fan nodded, "Indeed."
"A small matter." Saying so, Lu Ye walked into the cabin and found the central Spirit Array that controlled the Spirit Ship. A moment later, under his control, the Spirit Ship floated to the ground.
While he was busy here, Zhuang Bu Fan had already walked into the hold and released the mortals who had been captured. At the same time, he also inquired about some information from them.
The results of his inquiry made Zhuang Bu Fan's heart heavy.
"Go, leave this place, leave the Snow Province, go live somewhere else." On the deck, Zhuang Bu Fan waved to the mortals who were kowtowing to him.
There were more than four hundred people released, among them were some young people. Although they had lost their homes, as long as they supported each other, they could still leave the Snow Province.
If possible, Zhuang Bu Fan would be more willing to send them out of the Snow Province, but if he really did so, it would only bring disaster to them.
Watching a large group of old and young people leave, Zhuang Bu Fan turned his head to look at Lu Ye, "Brother Ye, farewell."
Lu Ye nodded slightly.
After a while, Zhuang Bu Fan was stunned, "Why are you still here?"
Lu Ye said, "Brother Zhuang, why are you still here?"
Zhuang Bu Fan coughed a few times, "My injuries are serious, I need to take a breather before I leave."
Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh, he felt that this person was a little funny. He shook his head slightly, jumped off the deck, and began to set up Spirit Arrays around.
Zhuang Bu Fan poked his head out from the deck and asked curiously, "Brother Ye, what are you doing?"
Lu Ye didn't even raise his head, "Brother Zhuang's injuries are not light, it's best for you to recuperate. Otherwise, you'll die first before dying at the hands of the enemy."
Zhuang Bu Fan's expression became solemn, "Since Little Brother has noticed, you shouldn't stay here any longer. The Elders of Heaven Canyon Sect are definitely Ninth Order, you are not their opponent." Saying so, he looked up towards the place where Yi Yi and Ye Liuli were standing, "There are still people waiting for you over there, don't make them sad."
"So … I'm setting up a Spirit Array!"
Zhuang Bu Fan was speechless for a while. Although he had inferred that Lu Ye's attainments in the Spirit Array Dao were not low, in the end, it was only an inference. He had never seen Lu Ye's methods with his own eyes, so he didn't know what Lu Ye's attainments in the Spirit Array Dao were.
However, Lu Ye's calmness at this moment gave him some confidence.
[Perhaps things aren't as bad as I thought?]
Thinking of this, Zhuang Bu Fan said, "I have already sent a message to a few friends about the evil deeds committed by Heaven Canyon Sect. They will find a way to contact the Imperial Heaven Sect, Vajra Temple, and Haoran Academy. I believe that in a few days, the Three Great Sects will take action. So, as long as we can stop the pursuers, those mortals will have a chance to escape. Brother Ye, tell me, how confident are you? "
The reason why he didn't personally escort those mortals out of Snow Province was that the dead Heaven Canyon Sect cultivators had already sent a message to a certain Heaven Canyon Sect Elder, and the pursuers could arrive at any time.
Since the Elder was a Ninth Order cultivator, he would definitely be a Ninth Order cultivator. When the battle broke out, countless mortals would be killed or injured even if they hid in the cabin.
However, he couldn't leave just like that, or the people he rescued would soon be captured.
He didn't tell Lu Ye about this and planned to stay here alone to stop the pursuers of Heaven Canyon Sect.
Since he was already involved in this matter, there was no reason to give up halfway.
But he didn't expect that Lu Ye would see through his thoughts even though he didn't say anything.
[What a warm-hearted young man!]
Zhuang Bu Fan didn't want to implicate Lu Ye even more.
"If I say one hundred percent, would Brother Zhuang believe me?" Lu Ye asked while setting up the Spirit Array.
Zhuang Bu Fan fell back to the deck and leaned against the wall of the ship. He took out a bottle of wine and took a sip before laughing, "I believe you!"
Lu Ye didn't need to set up a Spirit Array to deal with a Ninth Order cultivator, but under the premise of not knowing how many enemies there would be, setting up a Spirit Array was undoubtedly the safest way.
When the time came, even if a few dozen people from Heaven Canyon Sect fell into the Spirit Array, Lu Ye would be able to kill them all.
In just over an hour, the Spirit Array had been set up.
Lu Ye flew to the deck, and Yi Yi had already brought Ye Liuli over under his orders.
Zhuang Bu Fan looked at Lu Ye, then at Yi Yi and Ye Liuli. Obviously, he misunderstood something and sighed, "It's good to be young!"
He took another sip of wine. The era that belonged to him had passed. Fortunately, there would be new talents in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years.
[Unfortunately, I won't be able to see it.] (To be continued)
