In the hall, three pairs of eyes watched as a white point t with five black points. In just twenty breaths of ti, the five black points were extinguished one after another, leaving only the white point still blinking incessantly.
All three onlookers twitched at the sight. Han Zheyue hastily raised her hand to press her battlefield marking, sending out an urgent ssage. Soon, nearly ten black points erged from nearby mountains and converged towards that area.
This woman was clearly infuriated, not knowing where soone from Level 4 had appeared from and taken a mountaintop behind the Tailuo Sect, which was a slap in the face.
Although it was unclear how that person had done it, being able to defeat five opponents in such a short ti and kill them all indicated extraordinary capabilities.
But that was a mountain occupied by the Tailuo Sect, and it was easy to mobilize troops to besiege him.
It was very likely that he had already been wounded, and if he dared stay there for a mont longer, he would surely not be lucky!
Tang Wu looked up at her but did not intervene. There was no interfering in such matters, as everyone had a battlefield marking, making communication quite convenient, and with people constantly coming and going in the great hall, any news would continuously be spread outside.
The three of them from Level 9 were stationed there not only to ensure the seamless conduct of the Dragon Spring et but also to interfere and command it to a necessary extent.
However, it was still a pity, as the entrance of this Level 4 individual to Hundred Peaks Mountain was poorly tid. Had he entered from the territory of Mount Qingyu, he could have been an asset to Qing Yu, but since he chose to enter from the Tailuo Sect's territory, his prospects were likely grim.
The only way out for him was to imdiately retreat. During the Dragon Spring et, the Tailuo Sect wouldn't have much energy to pursue him.
While Tang Wu thought this, the white point began to move again. Seeing the direction of the white point's movent, Tang Wu knew this person was probably dood.
Han Zheyue even clenched her teeth and sneered, "Well, quite bold!"
Indeed, after killing five cultivators of the Tailuo Sect, the white point did not choose to retreat but instead burst deeper into Hundred Peaks Mountain.
Qin Wanli laughed beside them, "Who is this greenhorn who doesn't know that we three families are holding the Dragon Spring et here?"
Yet, Tang Wu simply extended his hand towards Han Zheyue, silently looking at her, the aning quite clear.
"What? Did I lose? Who knows which faction this guy belongs to? He just killed a few disciples of my Tailuo Sect, who can prove that he is from the Haotian Alliance?" The mood of Han Zheyue was already sour, and her tone beca much harsher.
Her words were not without reason. In the Spirit Stream battlefield, even if belonging to the sa camp, it was possible to attack each other, and killing others could still earn rit.
Tang Wu then withdrew his hand and didn't press the matter further.
He had also harbored the sa thought. After all, their previous wager had been made spontaneously, and everyone knew that enforcing such a bet was difficult unless there was a way to definitively prove the white point's faction allegiance.
On the mountain, Lu Ye finished gathering his spoils of war and once again mounted the big tiger to set off on his way. For him, the previous skirmish was rely a minor interlude on his journey and did not impact much.
But to be cautious, he still had Yiyi run ahead to scout. Yiyi's ability to appear and disappear unpredictably was perfect for this task.
Sitting on the tiger's back, Lu Ye tossed a Spirit-Nurturing Pill into his mouth for recovery. The battle had started abruptly and ended quickly, so his consumption of energy wasn't extensive. Had it not been for the last-minute use of two spells, his expenditure would have been even lesser.
As for Han Zheyue's assumption that he must have been injured... that was not the case!
However, traveling alone, maintaining a full reservoir of spirit force was undoubtedly a good habit.
Speaking of which, the Fire Phoenix Technique was indeed powerful; it had struck a Level 2 cultivator and instantly claid his life. The only downside of using this spell was a sensation of sha; it required a strong inner resolve.
It seed that he had to find so ti to study thoroughly and try to change the outward appearance of that magic form into a normal one.
A short while later after a cup of tea, Yiyi returned and inford Lu Ye of so bad news: there were several cultivators on the mountain ahead and they were heading straight this way. It seed that these people were part of the sa group as the ones previously killed.
Lu Ye could confirm that the five cultivators who had been killed hadn't been able to send out any ssages before they died because the battle had ended too quickly for them to do so.
But even so, the companions of the other party had still co charging this way. What was going on?
After briefly pondering, Lu Ye decided to retreat.
He didn't know the cultivation levels of the cultivators coming his way. Yiyi had only seen several people and hadn't dared get too close, so naturally, she couldn't determine their cultivation levels.
If their cultivation levels were not high, Lu Ye still had confidence in dealing with them. But if among those people were a few in the Level 5 realm or one or two in Level 6, that would be troubleso.
Of course, the likelihood of that was not high, given that this was just the outer circle of the battlefield.
Lu Ye just felt that sothing was off about this situation. Throughout his journey, he had encountered so cultivators, but never had he t them so frequently.
He simply suspected he might have entered a territory of a particular force. However, the ten-part map indicated that this area was a juncture of three different forces and didn't belong to any single one.
Yiyi went ahead to scout again, and soon a worse piece of news ca. There were also people behind them—more than ten, encircling him from that direction.
Lu Ye imdiately sensed trouble, now quite sure that he had truly entered the territory of so force, or else this large reaction would not have been provoked.
By now, retreating had beco impossible. Lu Ye could faintly sense the spirit force fluctuations stirred by those people, indicating that they were already very close.
He patted Amber on her body and changed direction, fleeing from the flank.
There were people in front and behind. Surely they couldn't be on the sides too?
In the great hall, Han Zheyue glared hatefully at the white light moving up and down in the Hundred Peaks Mountain. Orders were sent out, and waves of black points departed from various mountains, encircling that white spot.
She had just received precise information that the intruding cultivator was riding a snow-white big tiger, which was why his speed was so fast. The cultivators from the Tailuo Sect chasing him from behind simply couldn't keep up.
However, she didn't need her own disciples to catch up with the enemy. With her continuous deploynt, a tight encirclent slowly ford. With the white spot surrounded by densely packed black points from all directions, he would be attacked no matter which direction he broke out from. If they could stall him just for a mont, the others would swarm up and chop him into minced at!
For such a thing to happen during the Dragon Spring et really infuriated Han Zheyue. If it weren't for the prohibition against fighting during the et, she would have dearly liked to personally capture that fellow riding the White Tiger and have him experience every torture under heaven!
On the tiger's back, Lu Ye's expression was extrely grave. After two hours of fleeing, he found that not only had he not shaken off those unknown enemies, the situation had actually beco increasingly dire.
Yiyi no longer went out to scout, because there were enemies on all sides!
He was sowhat baffled by how the enemy had managed to form this encirclent. Riding Amber, he had zigzagged left and right with no discernible pattern in his route, and yet he still ended up surrounded.
There was no escaping now; the only option left was to break out!
Lu Ye gently patted the tiger's back with one hand and rested the other on the hilt of his sword. As if sensing his intention, Amber roared and with a burst of speed, they broke forward.
