The Eight Empresses Betrayed Me, Only to Deeply Regret It After Being Reborn-Chapter 33: Killing

Lu Ye continued to delve deeper.

The formations that remained were changed by him, replaced with a completely new system of formations, and not just one system.

Among them, there were two formations. One was the Strong Light Formation, which had no real lethality but could blind others' eyes.

The other was a short-distance teleportation formation, capable of transporting someone between ten to thirty kilometers.

Though not too far, it would be enough for an emergency escape.

He kept changing the formations.

As he continued to alter them, he eventually reached the Golden Sunflower. He took out a jade box and sealed the Golden Sunflower.

He also picked a dozen or so precious herbs that might be useful, and Lu Ye left Bai Yao Valley.

Li Huaiyu was still tirelessly breaking the formations, his eyes filled with exploration and satisfaction for knowledge.

He broke through more formations.

Upon encountering a new formation, Li Huaiyu’s expression changed. He had become trapped in the formation, and /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ in front of him appeared a group of muscular, eight-pack abs men, all beckoning him with their fingers.

Ah!

Had the formation changed?

Not just the formation, but the entire system of the formation had changed.

What was going on?

He had almost figured out the formation master's thinking, yet now the formation had undergone a complete transformation.

Could it be... that young man from earlier had something to do with this?

To be able to alter a formation without breaking it, how terrifying must his mastery of formations be?

Another issue was... why were there eight muscular, handsome men in the illusion? For a man like him, wouldn’t it have been more fitting to have eight beautiful women appear in the illusion instead?

...

Leaving Bai Yao Valley, Lu Ye’s next destination was Tianling Pool.

As the name suggested, Tianling Pool was rich in spiritual energy, beneficial for cultivation.

With the system's help speeding up his cultivation, if he trained in Tianling Pool, his progress would be even faster.

He walked out of Bai Yao Valley.

A rumbling sound came from the distance.

The battle had begun.

The human race had become strong, driving all the foreign races out of the vast wilderness, where spiritual energy was most concentrated.

They already had grudges with various factions, and now with the younger generation gathering, it was a complete mess.

Lu Ye wasn’t particularly concerned about these matters.

Strong people are made through battle.

No one can avoid fighting. In a place like this, everyone’s age and cultivation are about the same. If they fight, they fight. Who’s afraid of whom?

Unless it’s a situation where someone is bullying the weak, massacring indiscriminately, then Lu Ye would step in.

Fighting among peers, if someone dies, so be it.

"Boom!"

A figure heavily crashed in front of Lu Ye.

"Fellow daoist... help... help me..."

A disciple from a small sect spat out blood, clearly nearing the end of his life.

"Hahaha, you're going to die too!"

A black bat cackled, viciously charging at Lu Ye.

Lu Ye had initially planned to just bypass the situation.

But since the black bat had attacked him...

A sword light gently sliced through.

The bat was cleaved in two.

Lu Ye found the bat’s storage ring, a spark turning it to ashes. With a flick of his sleeve, the ashes scattered into the air.

"Bats’ Mist!"

A cry of sorrow rang out as more than ten black bats, moving with incredible speed, rushed toward him. They glanced at the bat that had been sliced in two, but before they could speak, Lu Ye’s sword light cut through.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

Under the sunlight, the light warped.

Sword lights crisscrossed, and all ten bats were cleaved in two. Blood spilled onto the ground, the stench of blood overwhelming.

Lu Ye beckoned with his finger, collecting the storage rings from each bat, then stepped away.

"Fellow daoist, please let me know your name. The kindness you have shown today will be repaid by me, Ji Liang, of the Qiankun Sect!"

Lu Ye did not stop, disappearing into the horizon.

The great battle had indeed begun. Along the way, there were the bodies of demons and humans alike.

Some bodies were mangled beyond recognition, while some female cultivators had been stripped bare, their bodies covered in bite marks.

The cruelty of the cultivation world was laid bare at this moment.

Two figures, covered in dirt and fleeing in a panic, rushed towards Lu Ye.

"Fellow daoist, hurry, the demon race has occupied the Tianling Pool ahead. They’ve killed many people. Now, the human race has chosen to form an alliance to fight the demons and monsters. We can head to the alliance point together and fight back against the demons and monsters!"

Lu Ye was slightly intrigued.

This hadn’t happened in his past life—humans actually formed alliances?

"Who made the alliance?" Lu Ye asked.

"It was Yue Hongling from the Grand Dao Sect who took the lead, and many powerful factions responded. It’s not only safe there, but we can also join forces to fight back against the demons, so we won’t be picked off one by one by them. Fellow daoist, please come with us."

So it was Yue Hongling!

No wonder things had changed.

"No need," Lu Ye said, "I still want to check out the Tianling Pool."

"But fellow daoist, the Tianling Pool has already been occupied by the demons. If you go now, aren’t you just walking into death?"

Lu Ye wasn’t angry. "I’m just going to take a look. If it’s dangerous, I’ll retreat in time."

"I advise you not to go."

"I’m the kind of person who won’t give up until I reach the Yellow River."

Lu Ye was always tolerant of kind-hearted people, like these two. They simply meant well, wanting to guide him to a safer place.

"Then, fellow daoist, take care!"

"Take care!"

Having crossed paths by chance, Lu Ye was already very close to the Tianling Pool.

Ahead, the scent of blood wafted through the air.

The Tianling Pool wasn’t particularly large. Its opening was only about ten zhang in diameter, and its water was a brilliant green, like a gem embedded in the earth.

Dense spiritual energy filled the air, manifesting in the form of mist.

Around the Tianling Pool, many bodies lay in a gruesome state. Large demons were gnawing on the corpses, while other demons were leisurely cultivating in the Tianling Pool.

The sound of crunching bones echoed sharply.

Lu Ye’s figure appeared not far off.

Pairs of eyes opened all around, almost simultaneously locking onto Lu Ye, filled with murderous intent.

It seemed as though Lu Ye didn’t notice, continuing to walk towards the group of demons.

"Interesting!"

A leopard demon suddenly smiled. It leaped out of the Tianling Pool, causing all the water to evaporate. Its fur began to shimmer with strands of light.

"A confident human, he probably thinks he can kill us all by himself."

The leopard demon spoke to the other demons.

"But, in reality?"

"He’ll beg for mercy."

The demons immediately burst into laughter.

"He’ll howl in pain."

"Hahaha..."

The mocking laughter turned into hearty laughter.

"He’ll cry and beg us to end his misery."

"Roar!"

"Ha ha ha!"

"Howl..."

The leopard demon watched Lu Ye with mockery, and its figure suddenly turned into a golden light.

"Beg for mercy!"

"Whoosh!"

The leopard demon's body was split in half and flew out.

Blood stained the ground in a V-shape.

"Enough with the talk, you all should die."

Lu Ye walked steadily, his figure flashing like frames being skipped in a movie, as in the blink of an eye, he had covered ten zhang and was already among the demon crowd.

A sword strike slashed out.

Seven or eight demons in a straight line exploded, their bodies disintegrating.

The slaughter had begun!
