Sage of Humanity-Chapter 622 - 620 Narrow Road for Enemies

The patterns within the great array became increasingly bright, and the space around Lu Ye suddenly began to distort, causing him to disappear abruptly.

This extraordinary scene caused everyone to freeze on the spot, and Song Zhui instinctively stepped forward, causing a stir among the crowd behind him.

In broad daylight, under the watchful eyes of the public, a living person just vanished like this, and not through the effects of the Heaven's Augury Pillar...

If it wasn't witnessed with their own eyes, no one would dare to believe it.

"It's a teleportation array! That's a teleportation array!" Suddenly, a voice cried out in the crowd, belonging to an array cultivator who had once read about the setup of a teleportation array in a book and had been very interested in it, even studying it for a while. However, he realized that with his own talent in the Array Path, he probably couldn't set up such a complex formation in his lifetime, mainly because the core components, the Void Spirit Runes, were too difficult to construct.

Moreover, in the Nine Provinces cultivation world, because there are gifts of Heaven's Augury like the Heaven's Augury Pillar, the use of teleportation arrays was not very significant, so after studying it for a while, he had no choice but to give up.

But he ultimately recognized the patterns of the teleportation array.

He couldn't believe that the formation he spent his life unable to deploy was actually set up by someone in the Cloud River Realm.

This Lu Yiye's understanding of the Array Path probably exceeded everyone's imagination!

Once these words were spoken, shock ensued all around. Although their hearts were shaken, they finally understood why Lu Ye had disappeared into thin air.

It was actually a teleportation array!

If there were any Divine Sea Realm strong cultivators present, they might have been able to sense the distortion of space through their Mental Consciousness and trace the direction of Lu Ye's teleportation, but a bunch of Cloud River Realm cultivators didn't possess such ability.

Once Lu Ye's figure disappeared, they would no longer be able to track his whereabouts.

Song Zhui clenched his fists tightly, his expression filled with anger, feeling that he had been played by Lu Ye!

Lu Ye had previously proposed a deal, that he would leave the spirit ground, giving those from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge the chance to kill him, while they must not destroy his spirit ground, otherwise, he would return to the Spirit Stream battlefield and break the base of their sect.

Song Zhui had thought that Lu Ye would fly out of the spirit ground. In his mind, as long as Lu Ye dared to leave the spirit ground, he would be able to chase and kill him immediately. A cultivator in the Cloud River Level 5 realm wouldn't possibly be able to escape him no matter what.

But now Lu Ye had been teleported away, and who knows where he had been sent to?

Just as Song Zhui was extremely angered, the array cultivator who had spoken before spoke again: "Senior Brother Song, Lu Yiye can't be far from here. His cultivation isn't high, so the range of the teleportation array he set up is limited, at most two or three hundred miles!"

Song Zhui's expression brightened: "Are you sure?"

"There's absolutely no mistake!" the array cultivator said decisively.

Song Zhui's eyes showed a glimmer of hope, and he immediately ordered, "Spread out and search for Lu Yiye's traces. If anyone finds him, sound the alarm with a whistle!"

Two or three hundred miles was truly nothing for Cloud River Realm cultivators, so even though they had temporarily lost sight of him, with so many people spreading out, they might still be able to find him.

At his command, hundreds of cultivators scattered away from the spirit ground, sweeping in all directions.

The situation was undoubtedly a godsend for the cultivators of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. All the cultivators present were above Level 6 Realm, and each possessed full confidence that if they found Lu Yiye, they would be able to slay him! Previously, under Song Zhui's leadership, the reward for killing Lu Yiye had to be shared with everyone, but now there was an opportunity to monopolize the reward, and they could not miss it. Each one of them, excited and worked up as if having drunk chicken blood, set out in high spirits.

Within the spirit ground, Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan looked on with complex expressions as the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators thunderously departed without paying them any more attention.

Feng Yuechan took out the jade cluster that controlled the many great arrays of the spirit ground, revealing a dawning realization: "So that was Junior Brother Lu's plan all along."

The great arrays within the spirit ground were arranged by Lu Ye, and naturally, the Great Array Jade Cluster was always under his control. However, just yesterday, Lu Ye had found Feng Yuechan and handed the Great Array Jade Cluster over to her, returning also the small umbrella Spiritual Artifact he had borrowed from her before.

At the time, Feng Yuechan didn't understand why Lu Ye would hand the Great Array Jade Cluster over to her. Now looking back, she realized that Lu Ye never intended to return to the Nine Provinces from the start.

Thinking about it, he had been cultivating safely here, but had been harassed time and again, with various provocations and pressures. In such a situation, how could he stay?

Previously in the hunting grounds, forced and with no alternative, he had already returned to the Nine Provinces once.

This time, naturally, he was not willing to repeat the same mistake, so he left, ready to fight a battle with the cultivators of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.

"Senior Brother, since Junior Brother Lu has done this, he must have a certain level of confidence," Feng Yuechan said, turning her head to look at Li Baxian and comforting him.

Li Baxian sighed. After all, it was his own uselessness; if he had been at the Cloud River Level 9 realm, he would have killed anyone who came today, why would his junior brother need to endure such humiliation?

He turned to look at Giant Armor, expecting that with Lu Ye gone, Giant Armor would surely not remain quiet and might even chase after him. However, the creature simply stood quietly in place as if nothing had happened.

Then, Giant Armor turned around and walked into his wooden hut to cultivate.

Yesterday, Lu Ye had asked him to stay here and wait...

Just like before when Lu Ye asked him to wait in place, resulting in him waiting for two months, now that Lu Ye had asked him to continue waiting, then he would just wait.

There was no need to think too much, whatever Lu Ye said, he would do.

"Let's cultivate," Li Baxian said.

Junior Brother Lu risked immense dangers to protect this Class A spirit ground, certainly for his own considerations, but also perhaps to leave his fellow cultivators a good environment for cultivation.

Junior Brother Lu had already left, and there was no way he could help. The only thing he could do was to practice diligently, striving to boost his own cultivation as soon as possible.

If one day he encountered such a situation again, he would never be as powerless as he was today!

Feng Yuechan activated the Heaven's Augury Great Array Jade Cluster. The spirit ground's protective array and hiding array were triggered, and soon the vast expanse of the spirit ground vanished from sight.

In a cave more than two hundred li from the Great Reversal Spirit Ground, Lu Ye's figure suddenly appeared.

Although he had instantaneously moved over two hundred li away with the help of the teleportation array, this location was not safe. The cultivators of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would certainly scatter to search for his tracks, so what he needed to do now was only one thing: move as far away from the Great Reversal Valley as possible, preferably leaving the Great Wilderness Mountain.

This was not actually too difficult for him, possessing Concealment and Breath-concealing Spirit Runes. Although a combat cultivator, he also had the means of a ghost cultivator. There were certainly many people from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, but finding him would not be that easy.

As he stepped out of the cave, Lu Ye was about to embark on his journey but suddenly paused.

Not far in front of him, a man with a pale complexion and wearing a black cat mask, looked weak and turned his head to look his way.

Their eyes met, and Lu Ye placed his hand on the Boulder Mountain Saber's hilt, his expression one of interest.

Wasn't this the ghost cultivator who had closed in within twenty zhang of him just now? In such a short period, this man had actually made his way here, and coincidentally, Lu Ye ran straight into him!

Indeed, enemies often cross each other's paths.

Lu Ye didn't know the name or origins of this ghost cultivator, the only thing he knew was that the other had Level 9 cultivation.

Under the black cat mask, Ying Wuji's expression showed surprise.

He didn't understand why Lu Ye would appear here and for a moment thought that the man merely looked similar to Lu Ye.

But Amber perched on Lu Ye's shoulder was an unmistakable identifier. It made no sense for someone to look exactly like Lu Ye and also carry an identical creature.

This guy was indeed Lu Yiye!

No matter why the other had suddenly appeared here, for Ying Wuji, this was like a big fish walking right into his net.

The gaze of the two met briefly before they simultaneously sprang into action.

Two figures stirred up fierce winds, clashing with a thunderous impact.

Two dirks had appeared in Ying Wuji's hands out of nowhere, each one only three inches longer than a dagger, covered in a black lightless surface that looked quite similar to the Boulder Mountain Saber in color.

It was just that the Boulder Mountain Saber had changed its color when it was upgraded as some material was added by the woman who claimed to be Feathered Master, whereas the color of the dirks in Ying Wuji's hands was deliberately made so. As a ghost cultivator who needed to kill silently, black dirks undoubtedly reduced the risk of being exposed significantly.

He used one dirk to block the chop from Lu Ye's Boulder Mountain Saber while the other dirk went straight for the area of Lu Ye's throat.

With his cultivation surpassing Lu Ye's by more than four minor levels, he couldn't understand where Lu Ye got the courage to initiate an attack on him, but he could almost foresee the scene where his opponent would be killed in one strike.

If he knew that Huo Liaoyuan had thought the same before his death, he wouldn't be so relaxed.

An overpowering force suddenly struck, and under the black cat mask, Ying Wuji's expression changed instantly.

In that moment, he felt as though he wasn't facing a Level 5 cultivator, but a strong opponent of equal strength!

He couldn't help but lean backward, and the dirk aimed at Lu Ye's throat lost its target.

He hastily steadied himself, yet Lu Ye's second saber strike was already descending.

In a cultivator's conflict, especially in close combat like this, there's often the risk of a single misstep leading to complete defeat.

At this moment, Ying Wuji paid the price for his carelessness.

As the second saber came down, the force was even heavier than the first, numbing the arm holding the dirk. His figure recoiled again, this time stepping back several steps.

Then came the third strike, the fourth strike...

The clanging of metal resounded with each clash, and Ying Wuji was forced back several steps each time. Now needing to block with both dirks rather than just one, his arms were numb, his palms split, and his heart sunk to the bottom!

If it had been his prime, he certainly wouldn't have been so embarrassed, but earlier when he sneaked into the spirit ground, he had been injured by several explosion arrays and had been forced to use a secret escape technique. Now, he was far from his best, unable to exert even half of his peak strength!

But even with only half his strength, handling a Level 5 cultivator should be more than enough.

But is this... the strength that a Level 5 cultivator should be able to exert?
