Following the direction of the source of the flood, Lu Ye continued forward. With the support of his Wings of Flight and Wind Travel, his speed was pushed to the limit.
Finally, he saw the source of the flood in the distance.
It was a large river, but there was a gap in a certain section of the embankment, from which a large amount of water was gushing out.
Lu Ye arrived at the gap in a flash, the fiery red wings on his back slowly retracting. After a glance, he immediately took out a formation flag.
This gap was not small, and the river water was surging fiercely. He alone could not stop it. If he wanted to block this gap, he would have to borrow the power of a formation.
This was not a difficult task for him.
His storage space was equipped with all kinds of formation flags all year round. As he urged his spirit power, formation flags shot out one after another, like nails embedded in the gap. The many formation flags resonated with each other, quickly outlining the formation's shape.
His spirit power continued to be urged, and in the center of the formation, there was a core spirit pattern.
It quickly grew out.
It was the defensive spirit pattern.
With the defensive spirit pattern as the core of the formation, the defensive formation constructed was extremely sturdy. It naturally had no problem replacing the embankment to block the flood.
However, the current environment was not suitable for the formation to be maintained for long periods of time. This was because Lu Ye had constructed the formation in the air, and the power to maintain it came from his spirit power. If he stopped, the formation would not be able to maintain it for long.
Unless there was a suitable place to place spirit stones, he could borrow the power of spirit stones to replace his own spirit power.
But how could there be a place to place spirit stones in a formation set up in the air?
This was not a big problem. All he needed was this little bit of time. When the time came, regardless of whether anyone from the Clear Spring Sect came to help, he would be able to find a way to plug the gap again. At that time, the flood would be eliminated.
Everything was proceeding smoothly, but just as the defensive spirit pattern was about to take shape, something like a long whip suddenly swept out from the torrential flood, rolling straight towards Lu Ye.
The flood surged and waves surged. Even with Lu Ye's powerful mind, he did not detect the other party's attack.
In the face of such an attack, Lu Ye's first reaction was not to block or dodge, but to madly urge his spirit power and pour it into the newly formed formation.
In the next moment, something tightened around his waist, and the long whip-like thing had already wrapped around him.
Yiyi, who was hurriedly chasing after them on Hu Po, saw Lu Ye being dragged into the water by something from afar. She immediately cried out in alarm, "Lu Ye!"
Hu Po's figure also abruptly sped up, but by the time it rushed to the place where Lu Ye had disappeared, there was no longer any trace of her. There was only a huge disappearing wave.
Hu Po growled, and Yiyi dived into the water to search for Lu Ye.
The situation underwater was extremely complicated. Although she had fallen into the water almost at the same time as Lu Ye, when she reached the bottom, she did not see any trace of Lu Ye at all. For a moment, she was burning with anxiety.
At this moment, a violent spiritual energy fluctuation came from a certain direction. She turned her head and saw a scarlet light.
That was Lu Ye's blade light!
Overjoyed, he hurriedly snuck over.
Even before arriving, Yang Kai could sense that Lu Ye was fighting with some kind of enemy, and from the aura emanating from the other party, it didn't seem to be a human but more like a Monster Beast!
Yiyi suddenly realized that the flood this time wasn't a natural disaster, but a Monster Beast causing trouble!
In the Nine Provinces, there were many Monsters. Some Monsters Beasts had gained intelligence and were proficient in human nature. They knew that cultivators were not to be trifled with, so they didn't dare to break the law to avoid being targeted by cultivators.
However, some Monsters Beasts were different. Their intelligence was muddled and they still retained their most primitive instincts, so how could they know what cultivators were?
That was why there were cultivators patrolling the territory of every sect, mainly to guard against Monsters Beasts that had achieved success in their cultivation.
This time, it was clearly a Water Monster. It had destroyed the dam here, resulting in today's flood.
Lu Ye had come to seal the gap and was directly targeted by it.
Yiyi was nervous because it was hard to tell how strong these Monsters Beasts Beasts without intelligence were. Some were strong, while others were weak. If they encountered a powerful Monster Beast in this kind of underwater environment, Lu Ye might not be its opponent.
Just as she was thinking this, the scarlet blade light disappeared, and she saw Lu Ye's blurry figure rushing up.
Yiyi was delighted, knowing that Lu Ye had dealt with the Monster Beast, and hurriedly rushed out.
When she came out of the water, she saw Lu Ye standing in the air, holding a Monster Beast that looked like a monkey in his hand. However, it was different from ordinary monkeys. This Monster Beast had smooth fur, an extremely long tail, and dense fangs at the side of its mouth. It had a ferocious look.
However, this ferocious look had already turned into a dead one. A piercing wound was clearly visible on its body, and blood was flowing down its fur.
Lu Ye casually tossed the monster to Hu Po, who was beside him.
Monster Beasts at the Monster General level had Monster Cores.
This Water Monkey-Like Monster General was actually quite strong. If it was an ordinary Cloud River Ninth Order cultivator, they might not be able to deal with it in such a short time. A battle would be inevitable. After all, they were underwater. Even if a cultivator was underwater, their strength would be greatly reduced.
Thinking back to the battle just now, Lu Ye clearly felt that it was difficult to use his full strength.
It seemed that … there was a treasure in the War Merit Pavilion that he had to save up some War Merit to buy. Otherwise, if he encountered a similar situation in the future, he would not be able to use his full strength. The opponent he encountered this time was not strong enough, and he would definitely be at a disadvantage.
As this thought flashed through his mind, Lu Ye hurriedly rushed towards the Spirit Array he had set up.
The clouds moved, and the Spirit Energy Human Array could not be maintained for a short period of time. However, if the people of the Winter Wuling District were strong enough to maintain the Spirit Array, it would definitely collapse.
At that time, all his previous efforts would be in vain.
At this time, the Spirit Energy Array finally stabilized.
The Spirit Array had cut off the source of the flood.
It could be controlled. Although some mortals had been lost, there would not be a big problem in the future. At the very least, the small city that Lu Ye saw before would not be submerged.
After Baby Fragrance, a Yuan 'er swept over from the 0th day. Her aura was strong, and she was obviously at the True Yan Lake Realm.
She was probably a Clear Spring Sect cultivator who had received a message from a disciple and rushed over to investigate the situation.
When he saw the scene on Lu Ye's side from afar, he could not help but be surprised. When he landed in front of the building, he was even more surprised, "A Spirit Array in the air!"
What shocked him even more was that the Spirit Energy fluctuations coming from Lu Ye were obviously only at the Ninth Order Cloud River Realm, far from the True Lake Realm.
Such cultivation and such attainments in the Spirit Array Dao were simply beyond imagination.
He could also see that it was this Spirit Array that had turned into a barrier to prevent the spread of the flood. However, the current situation did not solve the root of the problem. He had to find a way to seal the gap in the dam.
"Clear Spring Sect's Yuan Chou greets this Junior Brother. Many thanks for Junior Brother's help. May I ask which Sect Junior Brother is from?"
With his age and cultivation, it was naturally no problem for him to call Lu Ye 'Junior Brother'.
He probably asked this question because he felt that Lu Ye was from a top Sect. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such attainments in the Spirit Array Dao at such a low cultivation.
"Jade Blood Sect's Lu Ye!"
"Jade Blood Sect!" Yuan Chou raised his eyebrows, looking a little surprised, "So it's Junior Brother Lu."
Seeing that he seemed to want to say something, Lu Ye hurriedly interrupted, "Senior Brother Yuan, please find a way to seal this gap.
Only then did Yuan Chou react and said apologetically, "Junior Brother, please wait a moment!"
Saying so, he hurriedly rushed off into the distance. When he returned, he kept taking out a large number of stones and sinking them into the water.
After repeating this several times, the situation at the gap finally stabilized.
When he returned for the last time, Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen. Looking up, he could only see a stream of light quickly disappearing at the end of his field of vision.
"Jade Blood Sect really did accept a good seedling!" Yuan Chou was deep in thought. Back when Lu Ye joined the Jade Blood Sect and left his name in the sect, Yuan Chou naturally heard about it. It was also at that time that he learnt of Lu Ye's name. However, to a True Lake Stage cultivator like him, Lu Ye back then wasn't worth much attention.
In just a few years, Lu Ye had reached the Ninth Order Cloud River Realm and was about to break through to the True Lake Realm. Moreover, he had such attainments in the Spirit Array Dao that Yuan Chou could not help but feel envious.
Sure enough, good seedlings were all from other sects.
Figures rushed over from afar and landed beside Yuan Chou, cupping their fists and saluting him. Some called him Martial Uncle, while others called him Senior Brother. They were all cultivators of the Clear Spring Sect who had rushed here after receiving the news.
If Lu Ye could think of blocking the flood at the source, they could naturally think of it as well. However, Yuan Chou's cultivation was the highest, so he was the first to arrive.
"Senior Brother, who set up this Spirit Array?" A cultivator who was about the same age as Yuan Chou asked with surprise. In his impression, this Senior Brother Yuan of his didn't know anything about the Dao of Formations, so it was utterly impossible to execute such a method of forming a formation in midair without an extremely high attainment in the Dao of Formations.
"It was set up by a Junior Brother called Lu Ye from the Jade Blood Sect. He helped us a lot this time." Yuan Chou explained casually, "This Spirit Array won't last long. Let's seal the gap first."
Although he had taken a lot of big stones just now and barely managed to maintain the rapids in the gap, there was still a gap between the big stones, so it was necessary to seal it completely.
A group of cultivators got to work and quickly dealt with the problem here. The Spirit Array left by Lu Ye also collapsed.
"Senior Brother, look." The cultivator who spoke just now suddenly picked up a tattered corpse from the side and walked over to Yuan Chou.
Yuan Chou took a closer look and saw that it was a Monster General level Water Monster. It had been killed not long ago and its Monster Core had been taken away.
"Is this Water Monster causing trouble?" Yuan Chou suddenly realized. He was wondering why there was suddenly a problem with the dam here. The Clear Spring Sect had disciples patrolling the area every day, especially the big river dams that passed by here. The disciples were especially careful in their inspection, fearing that a sudden burst would affect the mortals under their rule. Logically speaking, something like this should not have happened.
It was not until he saw this Water Monster that Yuan Chou understood.
