Chapter 598: Great Increase in Strength
After his cultivation level was raised by one level, and he also benefited from the baptism of heavenly secrets, the efficiency of refining array chess pieces was greatly improved. In just two days, Lu Ye had nearly 300 array flags in his hands.
Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan also found several locations suitable for setting up teleportation arrays.
With the consumption of a large number of array flags, one array after another was formed, and soon, the 300 array chess pieces were consumed completely.
On the fourth day since returning from Fox Fairy Valley, Lu Ye was refining more array flags again, and suddenly looked up in a certain direction outside the spiritual land.
The next moment, he stood up and rushed straight out of the spiritual land. The moment his figure rushed out of the protective formation, the hidden and breath-retaining spiritual patterns had been added to his body, and his figure quickly disappeared.
Less than a mile away from the spiritual land, Yan Gui hid his figure and quietly hid behind a big tree.
After receiving Tu Guanxiong's order, he rushed all the way here. With his cultivation level of the seventh level of Yunhe, it would not have taken him four days to get here.
But this place is deep in Taimang Mountain after all, and there are many dangers along the way. Fortunately, he is a ghost cultivator and can avoid many unnecessary battles, but it is only delayed in time.
Today, he just arrived at Huitian Valley, but he didn't expect that he would trigger a warning array not long after arriving here.
He immediately moved away from the location of the warning array and hid in the dark to observe silently.
Tu Guanxiong just asked him to investigate the situation in Huitian Valley, and did not specify what was here, but it made Tu Guanxiong and Huo Liaoyuan pay great attention to it. Obviously, Huitian Valley is hiding some secrets.
Since there is a warning array, there must be someone who set it up.
Who is hiding here?
Now that he has triggered the warning array, the person who set up the array will definitely come to investigate, and he will know at that time, but what makes him feel strange is that he has waited for a long time and there is no one in sight.
Hundreds of feet away from him, Lu Ye hid his body and observed secretly. There were no signs of wild beasts or monsters around, and there was not even a trace of abnormality in his field of vision...
Someone has been here!
And judging from the current situation, it is most likely a ghost cultivator!
He rushed out the moment the formation was triggered, but there was still no trace of the other party. The other party was obviously hiding. This ghost cultivator is a cautious person.
The person invited by Tan Sheng and Xia Liang?
Not likely. These two people know the situation of the spiritual land very well. Why invite a ghost cultivator here?
So he is just passing by?
Maybe... or maybe not...
Lu Ye moved slowly, without revealing any breath on his body, and quietly checked all around. Now his mental power has been significantly enhanced. Within a range of thirty feet, even without the help of insight into the spiritual pattern, if there is any abnormality, he can detect it at the first time.
A cup of tea, a stick of incense...
The secret game unfolded silently.
It was not until nearly half an hour later that Lu Ye suddenly turned his head and looked behind a big tree. There was something strange over there.
The insight of the spiritual pattern blessed his eyes, and his vision changed. The colorful light began to flow. As expected, behind the big tree, many colors flowed and shuttled, outlining the outline of a slightly short figure.
He immediately sneaked up.
Yan Gui suddenly felt uneasy. Although this feeling was very faint, as a ghost cultivator who often appeared in dangerous places, he has always been a cautious person. Otherwise, Tu Guanxiong would not be at ease with him coming alone to investigate the situation.
He immediately held his breath and concentrated, silently sensing the four directions, and investigating the source of the uneasy feeling.
At this moment, there was a sudden fluctuation of spiritual power behind him. Without thinking, he turned around in a hurry, and the scimitar in his hand burst into spiritual light and blocked it backwards.
Not far behind him, a figure appeared at some point. When the fiery red blade fell, Yan Gui felt a huge force accompanied by the explosion of spiritual power coming from the front. His figure flew backwards and his chest was filled with blood.
His concealment was broken and he also revealed his figure.
In mid-air, he saw the face of the person who attacked him. At a glance, his eyes lit up and he exclaimed: "Lu Yiye!"
So that's it! It's so!
No wonder Senior Brother Tu and Senior Brother Huo asked him to come and investigate the situation here. It turned out that this was where Lu Yiye was hiding.
He had seen Lu Ye's image. The Holy Fire Sect was the leader of the Holy Yu Spiritual Land. The Holy Fire Sect had a deep hatred with the Blue Blood Sect. Huo Liaoyuan had found a piece of image stone from somewhere before, and the image of Lu Ye was printed on it.
Huo Liaoyuan's move undoubtedly made all the disciples of the Holy Fire Sect remember Lu Ye's appearance.
So even if he had never seen Lu Ye before, Yan Gui recognized his identity at a glance.
He was excited and uplifted...but then came the boundless horror.
The violent storm-like blade force enveloped him, and the blade light like a streak of death wrapped around him. Yan Gui retreated again and again. In a short time, his knuckles cracked, his arms went numb, and his spiritual power surged!
How could this guy... be so strong?
Although he was a ghost cultivator and was not good at fighting head-on, he was at least a seventh-level cultivator. The spiritual power fluctuations displayed by Lu Yiye were only at the fifth level. He was completely unable to compete. Facing the violent and continuous blade force, he couldn't help but feel like he was being crushed.
Will die! This terrifying thought couldn't be suppressed in his mind. The excitement on Yan Gui's face had long dissipated, and only fear and panic remained.
Lu Ye didn't use all his strength when he slashed the first knife, because he couldn't be sure which camp the person was from.
However, when Yan Gui blurted out his name, the other party's position was very clear.
Since you recognize him, you can naturally know his origin. If the other party is from Haotian League, he will take the initiative to show the light of the battlefield mark. If he doesn't show it... then he belongs to Ten Thousand Demon Ridge.
So starting from the second blow, Lu Ye didn't hold anything back.
A stabbing sound was heard, and along with Yan Gui's screams, the clothes on his chest were ripped open, revealing a bloody wound.
Under the pain, Yan Gui's defense became more and more chaotic. Lu Ye took advantage of the situation and struck down with another knife. This knife almost killed Yan Gui directly. Fortunately, he raised his spiritual weapon to block it at the last moment, but even so, The figure also rolled and flew out, blood flying in the air.
Landing in embarrassment, Yan Gui did not run away immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and pressed it on his battlefield mark...
He didn't know why Lu Yiye was so strong. He only knew that he had been exposed, and this time there would be a disaster. In this case, he had to pass the news back no matter what, and his death must not be in vain.
He didn't even have the slightest intention of begging for mercy, because he knew that begging for mercy would only bring greater humiliation and torture.
However, the next moment, his heart contracted violently, and his strength and vitality were quickly dissipated. Looking down, he saw a long flaming knife pierced his chest at some point, and the violent spiritual power It exploded inside his body, causing him to spit out blood and stagger.
The look in his eyes quickly dimmed, and when Lu Ye drew the knife, he fell forward.
Shaking away the blood on Panshan's knife, Lu Ye put the knife back into its sheath.
A little red light flew out from the corpse of the ghost cultivator in front of him and fell on the back of Lu Ye's hand like a firefly.
Frowning at the corpse in front of him, Lu Ye suddenly realized that... he seemed to have underestimated his current strength.
Even if the opponent is a ghost cultivator who is not good at fighting people head-on, he is still at the seventh level. Facing himself now, he has no power to resist at all.
Recalling the seventh-level soldier cultivator who was in the hunting ground before, he and Li Baxian Feng Yuechan fought for their lives. In the end, if he hadn't successfully inspired the secret technique of animal transformation, it was still unclear who would win.
In just two months, the seventh-level realm that could force the three of them to do whatever they could in the past was no longer able to hold on for thirty breaths in front of him. The growth of his own strength can almost be described as earth-shaking. .
Of course, in the hunting ground, he was only at the third level of Yunhe. Now, although it has only been more than two months, his cultivation has crossed two small levels in a row, reaching the fifth level of Yunhe.
But it is undeniable that the baptism of heavenly secrets he received at the Fox Fairy Valley Altar made his own heritage much more powerful.
Especially with the increase in the speed of the spiritual power in the body, the faster the spiritual power flows in the monk's body, the stronger the instantaneous burst of strength.
Li Baxian and Feng Yuechan came together and came closer. When they saw the corpse in front of them, Li Baxian asked: "What's going on?"
Lu Ye said: "Someone came to spy on the situation."
Li Baxian frowned: "Xia Liang? Tan Sheng?" Then he denied: "That's not right. They know the situation of the spiritual land very well. There is no need for people to come over to spy. Are they just passing by?"
"It doesn't look like it." Lu Ye shook his head. If he was just passing by, there would be no reason to accurately locate Huitian Valley. Looking back on his reaction when he saw his appearance, the ghost cultivator gave Lu Ye the feeling that he didn't know anything. It's like being sent here to find out information under circumstances.
Raising his hand to take it, spiritual power surged, and Lu Ye grabbed the two storage bags on the body.
In just a moment, the forbidden lock of the storage bag was opened. Lu Ye rummaged around and quickly found a jade plaque that was similar to an identity tag. It had the pattern of a palace on the front and a large Chinese character engraved in the middle of the palace.
Huan!
Looking at the back, it should be the name of the dead ghost cultivator, Yan Gui.
Lu Ye threw the jade token to Li Baxian. Li Baxian looked through it and said thoughtfully, "Maybe he is from the Huanyu Sect."
Huanyuzong...
Lu Ye thought about it carefully and reluctantly remembered that this should be a fifth-grade sect. When he was in the inner circle of the battlefield, he saw the mark of this sect's residence on the ten-point map.
"Holy Universe Spiritual Land!" Li Baxian murmured again.
"What?"
Li Baxian took out the ten-point map, checked it out, and frowned: "If he is from the Huanyu Sect, then he may come from the Holy Universe Spiritual Land! The Holy Universe Spiritual Land is a spiritual land shared by the Huanyu Sect and another force from the Ten Thousand Demon Ridge. And it’s a large spiritual land, marked on the special map, and it’s only two to three thousand miles away from us.”
Two to three thousand miles is undoubtedly a very far distance for Lingxi Realm monks.
But for Yunhe Realm, it is nothing. With Lu Ye's current speed, even if he only flies with a royal weapon and travels at full speed, it will only take about a day.
