Sage of Humanity

As soon as cultivators from the Haotian Alliance who were at the Divine Sea Realm pulled out the ten-part map of the Spirit Stream battlefield and made an inquiry, they discovered the Cloud Mist Cult and the Miluo Sect were tens of thousands of miles away from the Wei River, leaving them momentarily speechless.

They knew that the young cultivator from the Righteous Blood Sect must have spent a lot of merit to teleport via Heaven's Augury Pillar, because otherwise, it wouldn't make sense for him to cross such a vast distance so quickly.

For other cultivators in the Spirit Stream Realm, this method of teleportation would be considered highly uneconomical. After all, merit is not easily gained, and each teleportation costs thousands of merit points.

But to Lu Ye, it was different; even though he did spend a lot of merit, as long as he occupied another's territory, he would earn it back.

First, it was the Cloud Mist Cult, and now the Miluo Sect. Who would be next?

Clenching one's teeth, one could predict that Lu Ye, the wildfire, was about to spread the flames of war far and wide once again.

Just as he had rallied a Haotian Alliance army before, he could surely do so again now.

That was the main reason Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had taken a big step back because that elder knew that if Lu Ye's actions were not promptly curtailed, with his capabilities and methods, he really could turn the entire inner circle into chaos.

"This boy, too reckless. I'm going to scold him right now," said the sect master, starting to send a direct message to Lu Ye.

At this moment, Lu Ye, who was weapon control-flying with Giant Armor towards the next battlefield, checked his battlefield marking and saw the sect master's message, which was short and simple, comprising only four characters.

All is well with me!

Comfort surged in Lu Ye's heart.

Atop the spirit mountaintop, Divine Sea Realm cultivators from the Haotian Alliance became busy, relaying messages to inquire about the Spirit Stream battlefield. The feedback they received matched the intelligence provided by Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, and they also received news that Lu Ye had left the Miluo Sect's base soon after capturing it and was already on his way to the next Ten Thousand Demons Ridge power's base.

The elder leading Ten Thousand Demons Ridge wanted to continue negotiating with Pang Zhen several times but was always stopped by Pang Zhen raising his hand; he appeared very serious and extremely busy, but inwardly, he was already overjoyed.

The elder sighed deeply, "Pang Zhen, delaying is pointless. If Ten Thousand Demons Ridge could stop that young man once, we could do it again—it's just a matter of giving up a few bases."

Pang Zhen incessantly nodded, "We've seen the resolve of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge."

The elder was exhausted, "State the conditions of Haotian Alliance."

Pang Zhen suddenly was no longer in a rush, his gaze fixed steadily on the elder as he calmly stated, "In addition to the previous conditions, add half a province base. As for which half province, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge can discuss that themselves. This matter is not urgent; take your time."

Honestly, the conditions Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had agreed to initially had already exceeded his expectations. If there hadn't been new information, that would have been the best outcome from the negotiations.

But now the situation was different. Lu Ye had single-handedly established a second battlefield. The stand-off at the Wei River became insignificant, and if Pang Zhen couldn't recognize the value of this move, he wouldn't deserve to be the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Haotian Alliance.

As he said, the Haotian Alliance was not in a rush; it was Ten Thousand Demons Ridge that should be anxious. Because the longer the delay, the greater the loss for Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, with every occupied base meaning a substantial drain of merit and resources.

If the elder thought he could stop Lu Ye a second time, let him try.

If Lu Ye could open up a second battlefield, then he could open a third, a fourth… As long as he lived, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge couldn't hope for peace!

Pang Zhen now needed to consider how to maximize the benefits of negotiations by using their advantage.

And as Lu Ye made more trouble on the Spirit Stream battlefield, the pressure on Ten Thousand Demons Ridge only grew.

"Pang Zhen, do not overstep your bounds!" the elder's tone was no longer as cordial, almost no one could remain calm in such a situation. The Haotian Alliance had clearly adopted an attitude of putting pressure on Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, and Ten Thousand Demons Ridge could neither afford nor dare retreat too much.

"So you can discuss it slowly, come up with a plan you canaccept," said Pang Zhen, smiling.

The elder looked at him deeply and didn't say more; he sent out a message and communicated telepathically with the Divine Sea Realm cultivators beside him.

Before long, another message came from the Spirit Stream battlefield. Following the Cloud Mist Cult and the Miluo Sect, the base of a third Ten Thousand Demons Ridge power was captured.

By now, Lu Yiye's forces had already consolidated the power of six sects, with over a thousand cultivators under his command, spirited and on their way to the next Ten Thousand Demons Ridge base.

In this region, upon hearing the news, forces of the Haotian Alliance were all ready to act, each leading people to join.

Meanwhile, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was also urgently adjusting its arrangements, just as before. In the direction of this allied army's advance, one after another, the bases of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge powers were voluntarily abandoned, and all hands were gathered at one location.

Two days later, two armies of cultivators, each consisting of three to four thousand members, faced each other standing about three kilometers apart.

However, unlike the encounter with the first allied army, there was no significant natural barrier between these two massive armies of cultivators, making the situation much more critical.

Because one careless move could indeed trigger a large-scale war.

Only then did the strong cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge side breathe a slight sigh of relief.

This time the losses for Ten Thousand Demons Ridge weren't too severe, mainly because they had the experience to deal with this situation and had made timely arrangements. Thus, Lu Ye's second rallied army had only captured over a dozen bases of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge powers along the way.

Still, looking around the battlefield, another dragon bone representing Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was broken.

Atop the spirit mountaintop of the Sleeping Dragon Mountain, the elder from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge looked grimly at Pang Zhen: "Can we talk now?"

During these two days, both sides had been waiting, with no communication taking place until now when Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had managed to contain the advance of the second allied army.

Pang Zhen appeared surprised, "Ten Thousand Demons Ridge has made a decision? Let's hear it."

The elder said, "The conditions remain unchanged."@@novelbin@@

"Then what's there to discuss? If you keep delaying like this, that young man might just go out and open up a third battlefield!"

The eyes of the group of Divine Sea Realm cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge couldn't help but twitch, this was also their most worrying and uncomfortable issue.

Now, a strange situation had emerged on the Spirit Stream battlefield, where all cultivators from the various big sects of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had been called back to defend their positions. Every sect was jittery, fearful at the approach of any Haotian Alliance cultivator, dreading that among their ranks might suddenly appear Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer.

"No matter what, half of the state's land cannot be given away!"

"I'm hungry." Pang Zhen, rubbing his stomach, looked towards the others on his side, "Does anyone have food with them?"

The elder turned his head towards the sect master and said, "Brother Thang, Lu Yiye is a disciple of the Righteous Blood Sect..."

Before he could finish, the sect master waved his hand and said, "Our Righteous Blood Sect, being merely a 9th grade sect, should not speak on such significant matters, our sect follows the lead of the Haotian Alliance."

Merely 9th grade...

Merely...

How stinging those words sounded.

But that was the reality.

A monstrous talent emerged from a 9th grade sect, now hammering the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge so badly, and there was still not much that Ten Thousand Demons Ridge could do about him.

The True Lake Realm had intervened already, resulting in two deaths, and they had also sent ghosts at the 9th Heaven level to assassinate him, only to be wiped out in one fell swoop.

If that young man had been in the Nine Provinces, these Divine Sea Realm strong cultivators could have easily crushed him, but he was in the Spirit Stream battlefield.

Never before had these Divine Sea Realm cultivators so detested the balance and suppression of Heaven's Augury.

"The fight has started!" Suddenly, a strong cultivator from the Divine Sea Realm exclaimed with a trembling voice.

"What?"

All those present, whether from the Haotian Alliance or Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, were profoundly shocked. Pang Zhen was no longer hungry and hastily began gathering intelligence about the Spirit Stream battlefield through their various channels.

They hadn't yet come to a definite conclusion on this side, so how had the fight started already?

Which side had the fight started? If it was the second allied force currently led by Lu Ye, it wouldn't matter much, as the number of people there was relatively small after all. But if the fight had started on the Wei River side, it would be unmanageable.

A moment later, everyone received exact news.

Indeed, the fight had started. Luckily, the Wei River side was safe and sound; after all, it had natural defenses, and tens of thousands of people dared not act rashly.

The fight was initiated by the second allied force led by Lu Ye.

Six to seven thousand inner circle cultivators mixed into the melee, and then... Ten Thousand Demons Ridge suffered a massive defeat.

The reason for this outcome was mainly because a powerful reinforcement had arrived from the Righteous Blood Sect.

The Divine Sea Realm cultivators of the Haotian Alliance looked at each other, reaching their level of cultivation and state of mind, being thrown into such emotional turmoil by a group of Spirit Stream Realm cultivators was indeed unprecedented.

They couldn't help but reflect that the young ones these days were indeed too troublesome. If every one of them was like that young fellow from the Righteous Blood Sect, these elderly fellows would probably live a hundred years less; these days were too thrilling.

In contrast, the faces of the Divine Sea Realm cultivators from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were gloomy, and their looks towards the sect master were extremely unfriendly.

The sect master stared back and said, "Why look at me? It wasn't my command; further reprimanding him would simply be disgraceful!"

At this moment, in the midst of the Spirit Stream battlefield, thousands of Haotian Alliance cultivators were in hot pursuit of fleeing Ten Thousand Demons Ridge cultivators, among them a giant eagle was particularly conspicuous.

The giant eagle was none other than Little Gray from the Righteous Blood Sect's station.

Originally, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had tried their old trick, assembling thousands of cultivators to block the front, and Lu Ye had already planned to leave this area to open up a third battlefield elsewhere.

But before he could make his move, a message came through the battlefield marking.

Hua Ci is coming!

As early as when Lu Ye had first mustered the first allied force to wage battles in various places, Hua Ci had wanted to help. After all, she was also a disciple of the Righteous Blood Sect and a healing cultivator; Lu Ye often got injured in the major battles, and she could just help him heal.

It was just that the journey was really too long.

Who would have thought that Lu Ye would leave the Wei River and run over to Silver Light Island.

This distance was not too far from the Righteous Blood Sect, so Hua Ci immediately set out with Little Gray. When she had sent a message to Lu Ye, she was already almost there.

Knowing that Hua Ci had brought Little Gray over, Lu Ye timed his command for the allied forces to attack.

This second allied force, although only comprised of a little over three thousand people and recently formed, had become invincible under Lu Ye's leadership in these past days. Hence, even when facing an enemy of nearly equal numbers, when Lu Ye gave the command, over three thousand Haotian Alliance cultivators charged without hesitation.
