Chapter 261: Revenge Doesn’t Take a Night (First Update)

Two more sects quietly approached Daoist Shouren.

They were willing to reconcile with Lu Ye.

However, as long as Daoist Shouren asked them to convince other sects, they repeatedly refused.

Are you kidding? How can they persuade?

If they fail, they’ll come back empty-handed.

If they succeed but receive nothing in the end, they’ll blame you!

This kind of thankless task, aside from Daoist Shouren, no one else would do.

Daoist Shouren couldn’t hold back again and went down to persuade them once more.

“Shouren, do you want to go against the world?” Wang Yi roared, his powerful aura bursting forth, already poised to take action against Daoist Shouren.

“Everyone, there are still people willing to seek peace; they only need one million spirit stones, it’s really not much.”

Seeing that Daoist Shouren was ignoring him, Wang Yi launched an attack without hesitation.

“Boom…”

Daoist Shouren was sent flying.

He didn’t come back; he just turned and left.

Although he still felt regret for those who were stubborn, he had truly done his best.

He flew all the way.

Arriving outside Lu Ye’s safe spot, he began to send a message.

“Fellow Daoist, Fellow Daoist, six sects are willing to withdraw; I’ve brought the spirit stones they promised.” Daoist Shouren said excitedly, a smile on his face.

Lu Ye chuckled.

“Tired?”

Daoist Shouren’s smile abruptly stopped.

This Lu Ye really had a friend in the Great Dao, every word he said dug into his heart—only someone who truly understood the Great Dao could do that.

“It’s all worthwhile, isn’t it?”

“Alright, tell me the names of the six sects.”

Daoist Shouren hurriedly revealed the names of the six sects, and Lu Ye graciously gave him a nod; these six sects’ grievances were settled.

He continued to restore his essence.

Although recovery was tough, he had secret methods that sped it up by more than ten times the normal rate.

As long as he had enough time, he could quickly recover.

While recovering, Lu Ye also set up a formation.

Not an improvement, but a formation he personally arranged.

This formation was called the Nine Suns Leaving Fire Devouring World Formation.

It was a formation filled with lethal force; in his previous life, Lu Ye had used this formation to slaughter a tenth of the entire Demon Clan.

Even emperors had been crushed by this formation.

Of course, due to insufficient materials, Lu Ye could only set up a less-than-complete, somewhat weakened version of the Nine Suns Leaving Fire Devouring World Formation.

Modern formations were not inferior to those of the ancients.

Everything was in motion.

Meanwhile, the meeting over there was reaching its conclusion.

The six sects chose to withdraw amid the scornful gazes of the crowd.

Lu Ye was indeed a reincarnated powerful being; now everyone knew that at the very least, he had been a great emperor in his past life.

But what was there to fear about a reincarnated emperor?

Even reincarnated Celestial Lords, without a strong background, could be killed when their power was weak.

If it was a reincarnated emperor, no one would dare act; after all, that was a great emperor who had reincarnated.

Many emperors or Celestial Lords wanted to live out their second lives instead of simply reincarnating to refine themselves because the risks of reincarnation were too high.

Their strategy was set.

First, they prepared to slightly alter the protective formation of each sect, rendering it ineffective; this way, Lu Ye wouldn’t be able to use their formations to kill them.

Secondly, they deployed Primordial Treasures, which were the top treasures even in the Fourth Heaven.

One treasure was called the Mythical Bell!

One treasure was called the Heavens Net!

One treasure was called the Sage Binding Rope!

All were remote attacking treasures; if the latter two couldn’t imprison Lu Ye, they would use the Mythical Bell to directly shatter him.

They couldn’t believe that these terrifying Primordial Treasures, each a town-protecting treasure of top sects, would fail to annihilate a Celestial Realm being!

Suddenly, a strong person twitched his nose.

Blood red began to swirl in his eyes.

Before losing control, he let out a furious roar.

“Lu Ye is coming!”

“Boom!”

A red light split the sky.

It quickly circled around the expansive mountain, and at that moment, countless figures soared into the air.

Lu Ye hadn’t fully recovered, but the formation was already set up.

He understood well that the first strike would gain the advantage.

“Roar!”

The roar shook the heavens and earth.

Whatever Mythical Bell or Sage Binding Rope, were all thrown aside in that moment; they had only one thought: eat Lu Ye, eat Lu Ye!

Lu Ye’s eyes were filled with cold cruelty.

This time, all these people had to die!

As the blood-red flow headed toward the Nine Suns Leaving Fire Devouring World Formation, countless figures filled the sky, following Lu Ye.

Daoist Shouren sensed this from a distance, his body slightly trembling.

Although he didn’t know how strong Lu Ye truly was.

Just previously, Lu Ye had been the one fleeing, but now he was taking the initiative to strike.

His proactive attack indicated one thing.

He was fully prepared.

The Fourth Heaven was about to change.

He wanted to stop it; he wasn’t guarding these people, but rather the lives of the world.

What would happen if all these people died?

Without strong individuals keeping watch over the Fourth Heaven, it would become a paradise for monsters and demons.

Dark clouds would soon blanket the sky.

Blood would saturate the land.

But what could he do?

He was helpless!

He had no way out!

He could only watch.

Actually, it wasn’t just him watching; a portion of the forces that didn’t participate, the six sects that had just retreated, and all the participating sects.

They were all using secret methods and treasures to pay attention to the situation.

Previously, Lu Ye had used the formations of two sects to slaughter many strong cultivators.

And now, watching the throng of people chasing a single figure amidst the swirling lights, the blood-red was blinding!

Suddenly, the blood-red vanished.

Lu Ye appeared within the Nine Suns Leaving Fire Devouring World Formation, the Emperor’s Banner fluttering.

Gurgle… Gurgle… Gurgle…

The Emperor’s Banner felt both excitement and fear.

Excited because it was about to feast again; ever since Chu Ling’s soul became the main soul, the two main souls absorbed an ocean of souls, and it had only now felt hunger for the first time after following Lu Ye.

Also, Lu Ye had previously fed it a bunch of souls, which the two main souls absorbed most of.

It wasn’t hungry anymore, but it still wasn’t full.

Now, it was about to feel stuffed.

So many powerful beings!

How could it possibly eat so much? Wouldn’t that burst its banner?

A sun rose slowly from within the formation.

Following that, the second, third, fourth…

Nine suns appeared in the sky, their blinding light distorting space, illuminating the vast heavens and earth.

Come!
