Sage of Humanity

After crossing a mountain pass, several figures suddenly launched an attack from ahead. The leader, radiating intense spirit light, was unmistakably in the Level 5 realm.

This person leaped across the tree trunks, moving as swiftly as the wind, and pounced toward Lu Ye from more than thirty feet away. With a long spear in hand thrusting forward like a dragon, he bellowed at the same time, "Die!"

On that long spear, spirit force surged powerfully, and the sharp whistling of it tearing through the air added to the spear's threatening might.

As the distance between them quickly closed, Amber found it too late to dodge. Lu Ye raised his hand towards the man, with spirit force swirling in his palm.

The next moment, a burst of red light appeared, and a plump bird flapping its wings hurtled towards the man.

"A magic cultivator?" The attacker was greatly surprised, not expecting such speedy spellcasting from someone with only a Level 4 cultivation. It was definitely a magic cultivator.

This Dao technique seemed somewhat similar to the Firebird Technique, but unlike the usual Firebird Technique, the firebird he conjured was somewhat... plump.

In mid-air and with no space to dodge, the man thrust his spear and hit the incoming plump bird squarely.

With a booming sound, spirit force exploded, and the burning air enveloped him. Lucky for him being in the Level 5 realm, he managed to invoke his protective spirit force just in time to emerge unscathed. When he landed, his expression was grave.

In that brief encounter, he sensed the purity of the other's spirit force, which seemed beyond what someone at the Level 4 realm should possess...

Turning his head to look, he saw a young man riding a White Tiger slashing through from the flank with no intention of engaging him head-on. On the other side, two Level 4 cultivators were approaching in a pincer attack. One wielded a heavy-looking hatchet aimed at Big Tiger's head, hacking down.

The other held a longsword, flickering continuous sword blossoms aimed at Lu Ye on Tiger's back.

Once again, intense heat flared as red spirit force gathered, and another plump Firebird flew out, striking at the hatchet-bearing Level 4 cultivator. Experience tales at empire

At the same time, Lu Ye unsheathed his sword and slashed at the sword-wielding foe.

With a clash of metal, the sword-user, unable to halt his momentum, was forced to retreat. Although at the same cultivation level, he couldn't withstand Lu Ye's powerful strike boosted by the leap of the tiger.

On the other side, the plump Firebird was split by the hatchet-wielding Level 4 cultivator. While it didn't injure him, it spared Amber the deadly chop and took advantage of the man's disorientation from the explosion of spirit force to swipe a claw across him. The man grunted, a sound of broken bones emanated from his chest, and he fell to the ground.

In an instant, the two Level 4 cultivators' joint attack had been thwarted. The remaining Level 3 cultivators stood dumbfounded, watching the charging Big Tiger and the young man, momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"Quick, get out of the way!" the Level 5 cultivator urgently shouted.

In the original plan, he and the two Level 4 cultivators were supposed to lead the first round of attack to ensure the invaders would be knocked off the tiger's back—once off, their death was certain.

But he never anticipated that this Level 4 cultivator would be a magic cultivator, casting the Firebird Technique with extreme speed, foiling his fierce spear thrust with no result.

With him, at Level 5, not achieving the expected effect of blocking, and both Level 4 cultivators failing as well, how could the remaining Level 3 cultivators stop them?

The magnificent Big Tiger swept past those Level 3 cultivators, the young man riding it leaving them in the dust. The Level 5 cultivator pursued a few steps, watching as the distance between them grew, and could only stop in frustration.

Turning his head, he saw a Level 3 Junior Brother clutching his throat with blood drenching his upper body, as Blood Water continuously spilled from his mouth. Reaching out toward him, the junior brother desperately cried, "Senior Brother, save me!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But what could be done? With such an injury, only death awaited.

By the time the pursuing cultivators from Tailuo Sect arrived, they found their fellow disciples standing with ugly expressions, one among them already dead on the spot.

...

Break out, break out, keep breaking out!

Lu Ye's expression was grave; he felt that enemies surrounded him from all directions, and no matter which way he went, he couldn't shake off their encirclement.

He simply couldn't understand who he had offended or whose territory he was on now. Had he fallen into a nest of thieves?

Fortunately, he had Amber, whose speed was extremely fast. Even faced with a ceaseless encirclement, he still had the means to fight his way out.

But he could feel that as he pushed forward, the efforts to encircle him intensified. At the beginning, it was rare to encounter a Level 5 realm cultivator, but now, there would always be one or two Level 5 realm practitioners amidst the cultivators he ran into, making it extremely difficult for him.

Not only was he struggling, but Han Zheyue, watching the Shadow Moon Disc in the hall, was equally distressed.

She watched helplessly as the white dot dashed left and right in Hundred Peaks Mountain, being encircled time and again, and then breaking through time after time while one or two black dots would occasionally be snuffed out.

In less than a day, over a dozen disciples of Tailuo Sect had died at this guy's hands!

Han Zheyue clenched her silver teeth so tight they made a crunching sound, wishing she could pluck the white dot off the Shadow Moon Disc and bite it to death!

The Dragon Spring Meet was going well until this troublemaker unexpectedly appeared. Tailuo Sect was suffering defeat after defeat at this person's hands. As the one responsible for the Dragon Spring Meet, Han Zheyue naturally had to take some responsibility.

If it was just this, it would have been fine. After all, losing a dozen or so disciples was a loss Tailuo Sect could afford; when had there not been deaths at the Dragon Spring Meet?

But the current situation was that Tailuo Sect had invested a lot of effort and manpower to encircle this person, leading to continuous losses in their confrontation with Mount Qingyu.

Tang Wu, this guy, was not just standing by idly. Seeing that Tailuo Sect was restrained by an outsider, he naturally had a lot of moves to make.

One by one, the peaks that had been captured were being lost.

And yet, Tailuo Sect couldn't simply ignore the outsider. Already, over a dozen disciples had died by his hand. If they neglected him, there would be no way to explain it. Moreover, with the outsider now on Tailuo Sect's territory, the losses would be even greater if he was not dealt with.

Therefore, Tailuo Sect was currently in an embarrassing predicament. They wanted to quickly kill the outsider and then devote all their energy to the struggle against Mount Qingyu, but they were unable to kill him, caught in a dilemma.

By comparison, Tang Wu was undoubtedly feeling secretly pleased. Originally, Tailuo Sect was at a disadvantage, but the arrival of this uninvited guest gradually helped swing the situation back in their favor.

Looking at that white dot scurrying back and forth in Hundred Peaks Mountain, he too was feeling a bit upset. It would have been better for this guy to follow a straight line, cutting through Tailuo Sect's territory and into Mount Qingyu's grounds. As long as he entered Mount Qingyu territory, they could meet up.

Based on this person's previous performances, if he could be brought under his command, he would undoubtedly be a great asset to Mount Qingyu.

Right now, all he could do was silently pray that the uninvited guest would last a little longer; only if he continued to survive, could he continue to tie down Tailuo Sect's attention.

As he was thinking this, Tang Wu's eyebrows suddenly raised because the white dot on the Shadow Moon Disc changed its direction once again, this time heading straight for Mount Qingyu territory.

The bastard finally came to his senses, Tang Wu immediately sent out his messages.

This was an opportunity. Mount Qingyu could try to see if they could make contact with this person.

Han Zheyue clearly saw Tang Wu's action and immediately glared at him, her gaze cutting like a knife. She spurred on the battlefield marking, sending message after message. No matter what, they could not let the outsider enter Mount Qingyu's territory!
