Every day, a large number of cultivators co and go over Liyuan. On the array base radiating hundreds of miles around, new array runes are added every day.
If at the beginning the array cultivators and ghost cultivators of Nine Provinces were forced into this grand task unwillingly, after so ti, their attitude shifted from passive to active.
Everyone wants to know what such an enormous formation is ultimately being used for.
Originally, the plan of Nine Provinces was to find an opportunity to question Yueh Xin before the deadline, but since this guy left that day, he has never been seen again.
It's been almost two months now, and there's still no news. It seems he really intends to wait until the three-month deadline to co back and check. By then, if Nine Provinces has completed the task he left behind, everyone will be happy. If not, a massacre is inevitable.
In two months, the area Lu Ye is responsible for is almost complete. Among all the array cultivators, his progress is relatively fast, which astounds Wuchang, who never expected Lu Ye to have such high attainnts in the Array Path.
There are a few others with similar progress, but more are still busy, though from the current situation, completing the setup of this big array before the deadline is not an issue. There is even plenty of ti to make corrections, so any part that's not coordinated, any misplacent, can be adjusted.
On this day, Lu Ye was still busy with the assistance of Ying Wuji and others. According to his plan, it would take less than three days to complete the area he's responsible for.
Personally involved in setting up such a big array, even though he was only responsible for a small area, Lu Ye had a clearer understanding of the formation.
Though he didn't know its specific use, it's clear that this formation has both teleportation and devour functions.
This is very strange. Teleportation and devour have always been unrelated functions. If it only had the devour function, it could be understood as Yueh Xin devouring the world's foundation of Nine Provinces for his recovery, but what's the purpose of teleportation?
It can only be speculated when the big array is complete and truly operational.
Suddenly, there was a disturbance beside him. Lu Ye looked up and saw many Constellation Realm cultivators, for so reason, taking to the sky, heading outward at incredible speed. Those like Jian Guhong flashed away like a sword light, and even the slower ones left traces.
Wuchang was about to take off too, and Lu Ye quickly asked, "Senior, what's happening?"
Wuchang was a bit excited, "They're fighting!"
Ying Wuji looked bewildered, "Who's fighting?"
Wuchang had no ti to respond and quickly disappeared.
This left Ying Wuji puzzled, seeking explanation from Lu Ye.
Lu Ye was putting all his effort into sensing but couldn't feel anything, yet he knew what Wuchang ant.
Outside the Nine Provinces planet, there was a battle! Although it was still far away, the Constellation Realm cultivators had already sensed it, so they couldn't hold back and went to watch the battle.
At this ti, the only ones who could battle outside Nine Provinces were probably Yueh Xin and Yang Qing.
Finally, at this mont!
How the fight started, no one knew, but as long as Yang Qing was still willing to keep his previous promise, he would surely return to Nine Provinces, and there would definitely be a battle between him and Yueh Xin.
Who would win? Lu Ye didn't know. From the standpoint of Nine Provinces, he naturally hoped Yang Qing would win. But this Dragon Race powerful being had been suppressed for ten thousand years and had beco weak. Otherwise, he wouldn't have sought spirit jade and spirit crystal from Nine Provinces' Constellation Realm cultivators first, and then gone into stellar space himself.
Ten thousand years of suppression had taken a great toll on him. Within just three months, who knew how much strength he had recovered?
Fortunately, Yueh Xin also seed to be injured, so from this perspective, these two strong beings were evenly matched, neither having an advantage over the other.
"Number Nine, I want to go watch too!" Lu Ye hurriedly called out.
Waiting here passively was truly torturous. He wanted to witness the battle, but he couldn't physically traverse the Void on his own, so he had to ask Number Nine for help.
Whether Number Nine could help in matters like these, Lu Ye did not know.
"What's there to see?" Number Nine was also anxious. When two tigers fight, one must get hurt. But no matter who wins, it's in a bind.
If Yang Qing wins, he'll surely settle scores with it later, and its life won't be easy.
If Yueh Xin wins, it will have to hide continuously, which is still not safe. If Yueh Xin stays too long in Nine Provinces, he might discover the secret of the Heaven's Augury Compass.
Personally, like Lu Ye, it hoped Yang Qing would win, or at the very least, drive Yueh Xin away.
Although it feared Yang Qing would settle scores with it later, Number Nine wasn't so malicious as to hope they both perished.
Despite saying this, Number Nine still fulfilled Lu Ye's wish.
From deep within, abundant and dense spirit force suddenly erged, gathering in the sky. The density of Spiritual Energy was such that it condensed into liquid, and for a mont, it seed a mirror was laid across the sky.
A giant mirror ford by pure Spiritual Energy.
Everyone involuntarily gazed towards the mirror, and what they saw drew gasps of astonishnt.
Because after a slight tremor and distortion, the mirror reflected a vast, deep stellar space, and in the scenes within the mirror, there were many familiar figures, appearing to be Jian Guhong and others who had left before.
This scene was like an invisible vision hovering beyond the Nine Provinces, transmitting the view beyond the Nine Provinces planet back here.
Undoubtedly, it was Number Nine's handiwork.
Unable to put Lu Ye's physical body into the stellar space, it resorted to this thod to satisfy him.
This imdiately caused an uproar, making many cultivators left here feel as if Heaven's Augury had manifested...
Lu Ye thanked him silently, observing quietly. He saw deep in the stellar space, enormous flashes of light continuously flickering, with two vague figures tangling and maneuvering amidst them. However, because the movents of these two figures were incredibly fast and the mirrored perspective was too distant, although the battle there could be seen, the situation remained unclear.
A high-pitched Dragon's Wail transmitted from within the mirrored space, just like the one Lu Ye had heard on the Spirit Stream battlefield.
The battle erupted fiercely, and where the two figures passed, teors shattered one after another, as if the entire Void were trembling.
But in just a mont, the two figures gradually moved away, soon disappearing out of sight.
The outco was already determined! For the scene clearly showed one pursuing and the other fleeing, yet nobody knew who was chasing and who was escaping.
Lu Ye, itching with curiosity, couldn't help but ask, "Number Nine, who is stronger?"
Number Nine lazily responded, "You'll know in a mont."
Feeling its tone, Lu Ye realized, the stronger one was Yang Qing!
If Yueh Xin were stronger, Number Nine surely wouldn't speak in such a tone.
Lu Ye was astonished. He originally thought that even if Yang Qing were sowhat stronger, it would be limited, considering he had been suppressed for thousands of years. But now, it seed Yang Qing's words were no exaggeration.
Back then, when Lu Ye asked if he could take down a Sun Blaze Realm opponent, Yang Qing disdainfully stated he could crush them with just one claw.
Now it seed, could what he said actually be true?
Such a short ti to determine the victor indicated a vast difference in power, and Yang Qing must still be in a weakened state. How strong would he be if he were in his pri?
As for Yueh Xin, who always acted arrogantly before the Nine Provinces cultivators, how utterly distressed he must be now.
The two figures, in their chase and flight, had already gone far, and Jian Guhong and others seed intent on pursuing to see the outco. But considering the vast difference in power, they remained quietly in place, as pursuing would be futile and no use wasting energy.
Yet, judging by the expressions on their faces, it seed they too hadn't grasped the shift in the battle's situation nor understood who was stronger.
They could only wait anxiously.
This is the sorrow of the weak.
After a short while, the Void before Jian Guhong and others twisted slightly, and a young man in green abruptly appeared.
From his appearance, there wasn't a hint of injury, looking casual and calm, as if the fierce battle just now was rely a leisurely stroll after a satisfying al.
But considering what he held in his hand, the matter wasn't as simple as a stroll.
At this mont, he held a bloody head, eyes wide open, unwilling to rest in peace, even filled with terror and astonishnt in the eyes. It seed as if, before dying, he couldn't understand how he ended up so unlucky to encounter a Dragon Race in such a remote stellar space!
Yueh Xin, who regarded Nine Provinces cultivators as re straw dogs, was dead just like that!
Jian Guhong and others were visibly shaken to a great extent.
Nurous cultivators on Liyuan of Nine Provinces, witnessing this scene, also exclaid in shock.
"Can't look anymore, can't look anymore!" Number Nine's voice sounded by Lu Ye's ear, and then the mirrored scene in the sky began to collapse.
But just before collapsing, everyone clearly saw Yang Qing throwing Yueh Xin's head to Jian Guhong, who hastily caught it.
The cheering on Liyuan continued, like ocean waves, one higher than the last.
Cultivators who ca here, regardless of their cultivation level, already knew about Yueh Xin through different channels, as well as knowing that this big array was his arrangent.
To the Nine Provinces, Yueh Xin was a veritable invader, and no one wanted to be ruled by soone like him. Now that he's dead, they no longer need to worry about this matter in the future.
As for Yang Qing... although not many had seen him, being able to kill Yueh Xin ant he stood on the side of Nine Provinces, naturally gaining the closeness of Nine Provinces cultivators.
Only Lu Ye was filled with worry.
The fierce wolf was dead, but the household had gained a tiger; what path should Nine Provinces take in the future? Yang Qing was willing to kill Yueh Xin, partly as a price for his release, and partly because two tigers cannot share one mountain.
But what might Yang Qing's attitude towards the Nine Provinces be? No one knows, and no one dares to guarantee he wouldn't beco a second Yueh Xin.
Especially considering he knows about the Heaven's Augury Compass.
