Chapter 033: Massacre

Lu Ye pressed on deeper.

The formations that were left behind were altered by him, replaced with a brand-new system of formations, and not just one system.

Among them were two formations: one was a blinding light formation, which had no lethal power but could dazzle others’ eyes.

The other was a short-distance teleportation array, transporting a distance of about ten to thirty kilometers.

While it wasn’t too far, it was definitely useful for escaping.

He continued to modify the formations.

As he altered them, he arrived in front of the Golden Sunflower, pulled out a jade box, and sealed the Golden Sunflower inside.

He also picked a dozen precious medicinal herbs that might come in handy before leaving Hundred Herb Valley.

Li Huaiyu was still diligently deciphering formations, his eyes filled with curiosity and satisfaction for knowledge.

He had cracked open some more formations.

When he arrived at a new formation, Li Huaiyu’s expression changed; he had fallen into the formation, and before him appeared several well-built men with eight-pack abs beckoning him with their fingers.

Ah!

The formation changed?

Not just the formation, but the entire system of formations had undergone a transformation.

What’s going on?

He had basically figured out the thinking of the person who set up the formation, and now it had completely reshaped.

Could it be…… that young boy’s doing?

To be able to change a formation without deciphering it, what kind of terrifying expertise in formations does that imply?

And another question… why were there eight muscular pretty boys in the illusion? Wouldn’t it be more fitting for a guy like him to have eight beautiful women in the illusion?

……

Leaving Hundred Herb Valley, Lu Ye’s next target was the Heavenly Spirit Pool.

As the name suggested, the Heavenly Spirit Pool was rich in spiritual energy and beneficial for cultivation.

With the System’s help, Lu Ye could speed up his cultivation, and if he was at the Heavenly Spirit Pool, the speed could be even quicker.

Stepping out of the Hundred Herb Valley.

A booming sound echoed from afar.

The battle had already begun.

The Human Clan was strong, driving the other races out of the most spiritually rich Great Wilderness.

With enmities already existing, now the younger generation gathers, it’s truly chaotic.

Lu Ye wasn’t overly concerned about these matters.

Strong people are forged in battle.

No one can avoid bloodshed; in this place, everyone was around the same age with similar cultivation levels, so if they wanted to fight, then let them. Who was afraid of whom?

Unless in cases where one abuses their strength and slaughters for fun, then Lu Ye would intervene.

Among peers, if one dies, then so be it.

“Boom!”

A figure crashed heavily in front of Lu Ye.

“Fellow Daoist… help… help me…”

A disciple from a small sect coughed up blood, clearly on the verge of death.

“Hahaha, you’re gonna die too!”

A black bat let out a creepy laugh, fiercely charging toward Lu Ye.

Lu Ye was initially ready to skedaddle.

But since the black bat was coming for him…

A beam of sword light softly sliced through.

The bat was cleaved in two.

Lu Ye found the bat’s Storage Ring and with a spark, turned it to ashes, flicking his sleeve to let the ashes scatter.

“Bat Mist!”

With a pained yell, a dozen black bats charged in at incredible speed, first glancing at their fallen companion, yet before they could utter a word, Lu Ye swept his sword.

“Swish, swish, swish…”

Under the sunlight, the light distorted.

Sword lights crisscrossed, and all the bats were cut in half, blood pooling all over, the stench of blood overwhelming.

Lu Ye beckoned with his fingers, catching one Storage Ring after another, then turned to leave.

“Fellow Daoist, may I know your name? I’ll repay today’s kindness in the future!”

Lu Ye’s pace did not falter, disappearing at the horizon.

The great battle truly had begun, with corpses of both demons and humans strewn along the road.

Some bodies were mangled beyond recognition, and female cultivators lay stripped, covered in bite marks.

The brutality of the cultivation world was starkly apparent at that moment.

Two disheveled figures came running towards Lu Ye.

“Fellow Daoist, hurry! The Demon Clan has taken over the Heavenly Spirit Pool, killing many! We Human Clan have chosen to alliances against the monsters, let’s go to the alliance point together!”

Lu Ye took a slight interest.

Such a situation hadn’t arisen in his last life; the Human Clan actually formed alliances?

“Who initiated the alliance?” Lu Ye asked.

“It was Yue Hongling from the Grand Dao Sect leading the way, with many great powers responding. Not only is it safe there, but we can also counterattack the demons. Fellow Daoist, hurry!”

So it’s Yue Hongling!

No wonder things changed.

“No need, I still want to see the Heavenly Spirit Pool.”

“Fellow Daoist, now the Heavenly Spirit Pool is occupied by the Demon Clan, going there now would be courting death!”

Lu Ye wasn’t angry, “I’m just going to take a look, and if it’s dangerous, I’ll retreat in time.”

“I advise you not to go.”

“I’m the type that won’t give up until I hit rock bottom.”

Lu Ye had a high tolerance for kindhearted people; these two were merely trying to guide him to safety.

“Well, take care!”

“Take care!”

Having met briefly, Lu Ye’s figure was already quite close to the Heavenly Spirit Pool.

Up ahead, a bloody stench wafted in the air.

The Heavenly Spirit Pool wasn’t particularly large, with an opening of merely ten zhang in diameter, presenting a greenish hue, like a gem embedded in the earth.

A rich aura of spiritual energy enveloped in a haze.

Surrounding the Heavenly Spirit Pool lay numerous corpses, bloodied and mangled; huge demons were gnawing on bodies, while others lounged comfortably in the pool, cultivating.

The crackling sounds were particularly crisp.

Lu Ye’s figure appeared not far away.

Pairs of eyes opened, nearly all turning to Lu Ye simultaneously, with a menacing aura swirling around.

Lu Ye seemed oblivious, continuing to walk toward the group of demons.

“Interesting!”

One Leopard Demon suddenly let out a laugh, leaping out of the Heavenly Spirit Pool, all the water evaporating, its fur beginning to glow with shimmering light.

“A confident human; he probably thinks he can wipe us all out.”

The Leopard Demon addressed the gathered demons.

“But, what’s the reality?”

“He’ll beg for mercy.”

The demons burst out in derisive laughter.

“He’ll wail.”

“Bwahahaha…”

The derision grew into full-blown laughter.

“He’ll cry and plead for a quick end.”

“Grrr!”

“Caw caw caw!”

“Woof woof…”

The Leopard Demon regarded Lu Ye mockingly, then suddenly transformed into a streak of golden light.

“Wail away!”

“Thump!”

Two halves of the Leopard Demon’s corpse flew out.

Blood painted a V shape on the ground.

“Talk too much; you all deserve to die.”

Lu Ye strode steadily, his figure flickering as if frames were missing from a movie, and in a blink, he dashed into the midst of the demon horde.

With a swing of his sword.

Seven to eight demons aligned in a row burst apart.

Massacre commenced!
