[At this very mont.]
[The forr site of Blackstone Monastery, now Heavenly Dragon Cliff's sect grounds.]
[The periter was surrounded by thousands of powerful demon cultivators.]
[The scene bore a striking resemblance to two months ago.]
[When Heavenly Dragon Cliff’s thousand spirit boats laid siege to Blackstone Monastery.]
[But now, the roles of attacker and defender had reversed.]
[After receiving Bu Haoyan’s urgent report, Ye Yu and Bai Xichu wasted no ti and rushed to the sect’s gates.]
[What greeted them was a scene filled with murderous intent.]
[Kunxian Pavilion, Dunjia Sect, Locking Sky Tower, Treading Snow Palace, Pure Thought Hall, Hundred Spirits Gate.]
[These six sects were long-established powerhouses within Bai Yongzhe’s domain.]
[With ancient heritages and formidable strength.]
[Any one of them alone could rival Heavenly Dragon Cliff as it stood now.]
[And now, these six sects had joined forces and appeared together.]
[Clearly, their intentions were anything but friendly.]
[However, Bai Xichu was puzzled. According to the information, these six sects weren’t expected to arrive for another day or two.]
[How had they arrived so much earlier?]
[Was there an issue with the intelligence?]
[But this information had been secretly investigated by Grand Elder Zu Xuzhong!]
[Ye Yu, however, didn’t dwell on it.]
[Seeing so many demon cultivators gathered above, his heart was practically bursting with joy.]
[Such an array promised a hard-fought battle.]
[It was even possible that the Heavenly Dragon Cliff branch sect could be completely wiped out here.]
[What an... exhilarating thought!]
[Ye Yu couldn’t even imagine how much stronger he would beco after this.]
[“Sir, what should we do?”]
[Bu Haoyan stepped forward, his expression heavy with concern.]
[Although he was straightforward by nature, he wasn’t foolish.]
[The six sects had sent their elite forces, led by sect master-level demon cultivators.]
[Each one was formidable.]
[If a battle were to break out, with only Bu Haoyan and Grand Elder Zu Xuzhong as Heavenly Demon-level cultivators,]
[there was no chance of victory.]
[A solution had to be found imdiately.]
[Ye Yu remained silent.]
[He glanced back at Bu Haoyan’s familiar face.]
[mories of their drinking and chatting flashed through his mind.]
[Ultimately, Ye Yu decided not to let this foolishly loyal companion die here.]
[Through a telepathic ssage, he said, “Sect Master, the situation is dire. You must flee!”]
[“Surviving is the only way to rise again. Don’t act rashly, do you understand?”]
[Bu Haoyan frowned slightly.]
[If even Ye Yu admitted there was no way to turn the tide, then today must truly be a dood scenario.]
[He stopped thinking about alternatives.]
[Instead, he replied earnestly, “Understood, sir. No matter what happens, I will ensure your safe escape.”]
[Hearing this, Ye Yu couldn’t help but feel a mix of exasperation and amusent.]
[Bu Haoyan was truly a fool—at a ti like this, he still thought of protecting him.]
[It was no wonder Ye Yu had decided to spare him this ti.]
[But leaving? That was out of the question!]
[After extensive experintation, Ye Yu had discovered the limitations of his Dream Realm Talent, Sacrifice Teammates, Infinite Power.]
[First, the talent’s effectiveness depended on the strength of the sacrificed teammates.]
[Second, it had a hidden limitation: distance.]
[If teammates died more than 100 miles away, Ye Yu couldn’t absorb their power.]
[These were the two restrictions of the Dream Realm Talent.]
[If he left now, he would waste this golden opportunity.]
[Ye Yu, of course, wouldn’t agree to that.]
[He said to Bu Haoyan, “Sect Master, when the ti cos, leave on your own. Don’t worry about —I have my plans.”]
[“Whatever you do, don’t ruin my grand sche!”]
[Bu Haoyan’s expression grew solemn.]
[“A grand sche? Could it be that the sir still has a hidden trump card?”]
[“As expected of the sir!”]
[Ye Yu scanned the area and found Grand Elder Zu Xuzhong standing not far away.]
[He felt reassured.]
[In Heavenly Dragon Cliff, besides Bu Haoyan, Zu Xuzhong had the highest cultivation level.]
[Moreover, the old man was always sneaky, clearly up to no good.]
[This ti, Ye Yu was determined to sacrifice him!]
[With this thought, Ye Yu decisively said, “Sect Master, let the Grand Elder stay behind. I have plans for him too.”]
[Bu Haoyan, driven by unwavering loyalty, nodded imdiately.]
[While Ye Yu and Bu Haoyan communicated telepathically.]
[Bai Xichu was also deep in thought.]
[Comparing the two sides’ combat strength, Heavenly Dragon Cliff had less than a 10% chance of victory.]
[If a fight broke out, it would inevitably be a life-or-death battle.]
[To turn the situation around, Bai Xichu would have to intervene herself.]
[As a Demon Lord, if she revealed her power, the resulting demonic energy surge would surely attract Bai Yongzhe’s attention.]
[This was his territory, after all.]
[Two Demon Lords clashing here would put her at a disadvantage.]
[After much deliberation, Bai Xichu concluded that this was a hopeless situation.]
[Only by sticking to her resolve and breaking through the encirclent could there be a sliver of hope.]
[Ye Yu was a rare talent and couldn’t be allowed to die here.]
[Bai Xichu sent a telepathic ssage to Zu Xuzhong: “Take Ye Yu and leave—quickly!”]
[Hearing the familiar voice, Zu Xuzhong shuddered.]
[He hadn’t expected Bai Xichu to be nearby.]
[It was likely that she was the maid who had reappeared at Ye Yu’s side after the conquest of Blackstone Monastery.]
[Zu Xuzhong had observed carefully.]
[The maid had vanished after the Blackstone battle, only to reappear now alongside Bai Xichu’s voice.]
[This couldn’t be a coincidence.]
[“Demon Lord, so you have co after all!”]
[A trace of lancholy flickered in Zu Xuzhong’s eyes.]
[In the next instant, he moved to Ye Yu’s side, dissolved the spatial seal with a single hand, and the two disappeared.]
[When they reappeared, they were beside the sect masters of Locking Sky Tower and Treading Snow Palace.]
[The sudden developnt left Bai Xichu and the entire Heavenly Dragon Cliff sect bewildered.]
[What was going on?]
[Why had the Grand Elder defected to the other side right before the battle?]
[Was this so kind of ergency maneuver?]
[Even Ye Yu was confused, looking at Zu Xuzhong with bewildered eyes.]
[Zu Xuzhong suddenly turned, knelt on one knee, and shouted loudly, “This subordinate welcos the Demon Lord’s arrival!”]
[With this action, the sect masters of Kunxian Pavilion, Dunjia Sect, and the other four sects also turned and bowed, saying in unison, “We welco the Demon Lord’s arrival!”]
[Soon, a wave of purple energy swept in from the east.]
