Chapter 507

On the Hunting Rankings, after nearly two days of intense competition, Lu Ye's rank had dropped outside the top eighty and was about to fall off the list entirely. However, as soon as he killed the spell cultivator, the name "Lu Yiye" flickered and suddenly soared to over fifty. His hunting points also increased from 370 to 550.

This development caught the attention of many observant individuals, who were all astonished. Wei Que, in particular, had spent the past two days in the hunting grounds searching for opportunities while also trying to track down Lu Ye. He had found some opportunities, but Lu Ye's whereabouts remained untraceable, which greatly frustrated him. After all, within a radius of hundreds of thousands of miles, without accurate clues, he had no idea where to find Lu Ye.

Wei Que knew that Lu Ye was only at the Cloud River Realm's third layer. A sudden increase of 180 hunting points, with a quick calculation, revealed that Lu Ye must have killed a cultivator at the Cloud River Realm's sixth layer; otherwise, his hunting points wouldn't have risen so significantly.

A third-layer Cloud River cultivator actually killed a sixth-layer one—that was truly terrifying.

No wonder the major sects of Myriad Demon Ridge were so wary of him. With such terrifying potential, if he were allowed to grow, it would be detrimental to Myriad Demon Ridge. Today, he could kill a Cloud River cultivator three ranks above him; in the future, he might transcend ranks to kill True Lake cultivators and annihilate Divine Sea cultivators.

The Jiangliu brothers also noticed the changes on the Hunting Rankings. They secretly felt a chill and were relieved that they had called Senior Brother Lu Shu and his group earlier. Otherwise, given the strength Lu Yiye was now displaying, if they had encountered him, they might have been the ones to die.

At the same time, they admired Lu Ye's audaciousness. A third-layer Cloud River cultivator in the hunting grounds, not only not trying to hide and survive but daring to kill others and claim a spot on the Hunting Rankings—this truly showed a disregard for the powerful cultivators of Myriad Demon Ridge.

If Lu Ye knew what they were thinking, he would surely cry out in injustice. In the hunting grounds, he had previously set up twelve teleportation arrays, remaining hidden and never actively seeking trouble. However, fate had other plans. Despite his desire to avoid conflict, trouble always found him. What could he do? He was also very helpless.

Lu Ye had no time to pay attention to the changes on the Hunting Rankings. After rapidly leaving the cave, he quickly found a hidden spot nearby and hastily set up a teleportation array.

Half an hour later, with the new teleportation array set up, Lu Ye calmed himself. He popped a spiritual pill into his mouth and slowly began to recover his spiritual energy.

Of the twelve teleportation arrays, three had been destroyed. Now, with one new one set up, ten remained.

Recalling the previous battle, though it was a close call, being able to kill the spell cultivator so quickly was also due to the opponent's carelessness. Yiyi's surprise attack from behind distracted him greatly, giving Lu Ye an opportunity to get close. Furthermore, the environment there also provided him with a significant tactical advantage.

The unique environment allowed him and Yiyi to create a pincer attack advantage. With Yiyi disrupting the opponent's mind and Lu Ye striking to kill, they were able to swiftly resolve the situation. If they had encountered the opponent in a normal environment, Lu Ye believed he might not have been a match.

With his current strength, he could kill a fifth-layer Cloud River cultivator, but killing a sixth-layer one would be very difficult. As for a seventh-layer Cloud River cultivator… he shouldn't even consider it; if he encountered one, his priority would be to flee for his life.

He still needed to quickly improve his cultivation; otherwise, if he encountered enemies with significantly higher cultivation levels, no matter how many techniques he possessed, he would find them difficult to utilize.

The fox mask was broken. It wasn't a particularly robust item to begin with, being quite fragile. Earlier, in the cave, a large rock had hit his head, causing Lu Ye to sustain minor injuries as well.

Taking off the damaged mask and putting it away, Lu Ye quietly lay low. The twelve-hour limit was approaching. He wondered if the golden spiritual talisman in his possession would have one last flare-up. If it did, this teleportation array would surely have to be abandoned.

Time passed. Then, at a certain moment, the golden spiritual talisman in Lu Ye's possession suddenly erupted with a dazzling light, leaving him with an expression of helplessness.

At the very last moment, the talisman flared up again. A pillar of light shot into the sky, and intense spiritual energy fluctuations rippled outwards, drawing the attention of all cultivators within a hundred-mile radius.

He decisively activated the teleportation array. Lu Ye had originally intended to teleport to another location, but to his astonishment, he found that the intended destination had lost contact. In other words, the teleportation array at that location was gone.

Most likely, someone had entered the spot where he had set up the array, triggered the explosive formation, and destroyed everything within. There was nothing he could do about it. Although he had chosen extremely hidden and secluded spots for his teleportation arrays, in the hunting grounds, cultivators wouldn't overlook any suspicious areas in their search for scattered opportunities.

Fortunately, he had anticipated this. Each teleportation array he set up was linked to at least two others, so if one connection was lost, he could still teleport to another location.

The formation activated, and Lu Ye's figure vanished. The moment he reappeared, Lu Ye immediately sensed his surroundings, confirmed that his location hadn't been exposed and that no one was around, and then finally relaxed.
