Lu Ye didn’t only have Yue Ji’s token. He’d acquired dozens of them. Those Seniors came from the top Sects in different parts of Jiu Zhou. Even if he could only get the help of several people from each Sect, it would be a force to be reckoned with.

 

By then, he could form an allied force of Jiu Zhou and bring them to the Blood Refinement Boundary. It would be a good idea for them to bring justice and hope to those who were suffering over there.

 

It was merely a vague idea, and it would be difficult to carry it out. As such, he needed to come up with a plan.

 

Time went by slowly as he conversed with Yu Shen.

 

There came a moment when they received the order to start counterattacking.

 

The defence line of Jiu Zhou cultivators had fully expanded along the edge of the Insectoid Great Hidden Realm. There wasn’t a part that wasn’t covered. Upon receiving the order, they charged forward and killed all the insectoids they came across.

 

The only task for the Real Lake Realm Masters was to push on and destroy all the obstacles along the way.

 

The task for the Divine Ocean Realm Masters was more complicated. While marching forward, they also had to constantly scan their surroundings to deal with the opponents that the Real Lake Realm Masters couldn’t defeat to reduce the number of casualties.

 

This way of pressing on would seem troublesome in the initial phase because the defence line was too long and the soldiers were overly scattered. If the Real Lake Realm Masters bumped into powerful insectoids, they would find it hard to deal with them. If the Divine Ocean Realm Masters couldn’t help out in time, some of them might be injured or killed.

 

That said, the way of pressing on from all directions had an advantage. They could annihilate the insectoids in the Hidden Realm and make sure barely any insectoids could escape, thus lessening the pressure on those guarding the portals.

 

Moreover, the defence line would shorten and the soldiers would be more concentrated as the war progressed. In the end, the soldiers of Jiu Zhou would gather in the centre of the Insectoid Great Hidden Realm.

 

By then, it would be their final battle against the insectoids.

 

Lu Ye turned into a ray of light and flew around in the sky, killing the insectoids he bumped into. He faced no obstacles.

 

Now, there weren’t too many insectoids in the periphery of the Hidden Realm. There weren’t many powerful insectoids either. As such, it wasn’t difficult for them to push on.

 

The Real Lake Realm Masters had formed groups which consisted of several people for each team. With the help of United as One Ward Nexuses, they could even defeat Divine Ocean Realm insectoids that weren’t too powerful.

 

It wasn’t until half a day later that Lu Ye heard someone whistling anxiously. The person seemed to be asking for help.

 

He immediately turned around and flew towards the source of the voice. At the same time, he responded to the person by whistling as well.

 

A moment later, he saw several battered figures charging towards him. It was a wonder which side they were from. Although they had formed a formation using the United as One Ward Nexus, they weren’t powerful enough. Presently, a Divine Ocean Realm insectoid was running after them. Fortunately, even though they couldn’t defeat the insectoid, they had the power to resist with the formation’s help. When they heard Lu Ye’s whistle, they quickly came to him.

 

The two parties brushed past each other, after which Lu Ye pounced on the Divine Ocean Realm insectoid. He had cast several Saber Lights before he even reached the opponent. When some whooshing sounds were heard, the insectoid’s figure trembled and remained in the same spot upon impact.

 

These Real Lake Realm Masters were pretty bold. When they saw Lu Ye making a move, they quickly turned around, intending to assist him.

 

Certainly, their help wasn’t needed. When a sharp Saber Light flashed across their eyes, the Divine Ocean Realm insectoid that had almost pushed them over the edge was cut in half as its blood sprinkled from the sky.

 

Lu Ye couldn’t stop because he heard another person whistling in the distance. He had to go over there quickly to minimise the losses of lives.

 

These people were rooted to the spot. A Fifth-Order Real Lake Realm Master in the team muttered, “Isn’t that Sir only a Fourth-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master? Why are his attacks so savage?”

 

The insectoid running after them wasn’t weak. An average Fourth-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master couldn’t easily kill the opponent. There was supposedly bound to be a long battle. That was the reason they intended to assist Lu Ye after receiving help.

 

“A young cultivator in the Fourth-Order Divine Ocean Realm who uses a saber… That’s probably him.” An Eighth-Order Real Lake Realm Master at the head fell deep in thought.

 

The others instantly realised what he meant.

 

Lu Ye had made a name for himself. He was no longer an insignificant person who had kicked up a storm when he was in the Spirit Creek Realm and Cloud River Realm. The insectoid plague had helped spread his name across the entire Jiu Zhou. Now, he was an important figure that most cultivators looked up to.

 

Being in the Fourth-Order Divine Ocean Realm was nothing special, but the key was that hardly any young people were in the same Minor Realm. Moreover, he made huge contributions by inventing United as One Ward Nexuses and a special refinement method to extract insectoid blood. What was more, he had even explored the Insectoid Great Hidden Realm on his own.

 

It could be said that he alone had caused the two sides of Jiu Zhou to collaborate. He was also the reason that their collective power had increased by 30 per cent.

 

No one else had achieved that in the history of Jiu Zhou. For these two reasons, everyone in Jiu Zhou owed him a favour.

 

As the soldiers pushed on towards the centre, more and more Real Lake Realm Masters were heard whistling for help. Lu Ye was busy lending them a helping hand. Sometimes, he would be on his own, but sometimes, he would collaborate with other Divine Ocean Realm Masters who came to help. The insectoids weren’t a match for him.

 

There came a moment when he caught sight of some people on the ground. With a smile, he directly descended.

 

Over there, a team of Real Lake Realm Masters were battling against a Divine Ocean Realm insectoid. The insectoid was fairly powerful as its aura showed it was in the Fifth-Order Divine Ocean Realm, which was one Minor Realm above Lu Ye.

 

Any other team would have asked for help by now, but this group of Real Lake Realm Masters had no intention of doing that. They were fighting the opponent on their own, and they were about to succeed.

 

When Lu Ye descended, he saw that the shell on the Divine Ocean Realm insectoid’s back was about to come apart, and its body was full of wounds.

 

The composition of the team was well-balanced. A burly Body-tempering Cultivator with ample vitality was at the head, unwavering and attracting most of the insectoids’ attention.

 

A Combat Cultivator was wandering around quickly to destroy the insectoids.

 

A Sword Cultivator was using flying swords, and all of his Sword Lights were savage.

 

A Spell Cultivator was casting abstruse spells.

 

A Ghost Cultivator would abruptly appear and attack an opponent before disappearing. The person wasn’t too greedy to kill many enemies at once.

 

There was also a meek-looking woman who stood atop a Spirit Beast that looked like a spider. As she performed a hand seal, she activated an abstruse Secret Technique. The huge spider beneath her looked hideous. It continuously spat out spider silk and formed a web, restricting the insectoids’ movements.

 

Lu Ye directly landed on the hideous spider. Fully focused on the insectoids, the beautiful woman didn’t detect his presence.

 

It wasn’t until a wandering hand was wrapped around her waist that she came to her senses in shock. She quickly activated her Spiritual Power, after which a dark fog spread and covered the two of them.

 

Lu Ye felt his eyelids twitching, for a lot of smoke instantly billowed from the Tree of Glyphs at that moment.

 

It seemed that the woman had become more venomous.

 

Lu Ye felt a wind coming at his face as the woman turned around and slapped him. Her slender hand contained a horrifying power.

 

Still, Lu Ye easily caught her hand and winked at her. “You’re quite passionate.”

 

The fury on the woman’s face turned into displeasure. “Why aren’t you killed by the poison?”

 

Lu Ye sighed. “The teeth in the vipers’ mouths and the stings in the wasps’ tails aren’t as venomous as your heart! Fortunately, I’m immune to poison. Otherwise, I would’ve been killed.”

 

“You deserved it!” Hua Ci glared at him. “Who told you to come over stealthily?”

 

She turned to look at Amber. “Yi Yi, why didn’t you give me a heads-up that a terrible man like him was coming over?”

 

Yi Yi emerged from Amber’s body and smiled faintly. “I forgot about it.”

 

Hua Ci shook her head helplessly. Then, she turned around and continued to use her Secret Technique to kill the enemies along with the others.

 

All of them had detected Lu Ye’s presence, but they couldn’t be distracted since they were in a battle against the insectoids.

 

Lu Ye shouted, “Do you need any help?”

 

Li Baxian guffawed. “Just stay there and watch us, Little Junior Brother!”

 

Lu Ye was only asking. He had no intention of interfering since the battle was about to be over.

 

The six members of Team D9 were fairly powerful and could collaborate perfectly. Any other team of Real Lake Realm Masters might not be able to defeat such an insectoid, but they could easily deal with the opponent.

 

Lu Ye noticed that colourful mushrooms had grown on the Divine Ocean Realm insectoid. As the mushrooms grew rapidly, the insectoid’s aura continued to weaken.

 

This must be Hua Ci’s doing.

 

Lu Ye asked curiously, “The last time we met, you summoned a huge toad. Why is it a spider this time? When did you become a Beastmaster?”

 

While using her Secret Technique, Hua Ci replied, “I’m not a Beastmaster. These are my Five Poisonous Spirits. Their powers grow along with me.”

 

“Five Poisonous Spirits?” Lu Ye arched his brows. “Does that mean there are three more?”

 

“Do you want to have a look at them?” Hua Ci asked.

 

Lu Ye directly turned her down. “There’s no need for that.”

 

She was a gentle-looking person, but other than being venomous, she even had Five Poisonous Spirits which all looked hideous. The inheritance that the woman had acquired on the Spirit Creek Battlefield back then was strange.

 

However, it was undeniable that the inheritance was incredible. So far, Lu Ye had never seen another inheritance as strange as this.

 

Moreover, Hua Ci was able to plant mushrooms on an opponent which could stealthily weaken the other party’s power. This allowed her to slowly gain the upper hand.

 

Everything had been going well for Team D9 because the members were powerful and could collaborate well, but Hua Ci played a key role as well.

 

As time passed, the Divine Ocean Realm insectoid’s aura continued to become weaker, and it was apparent that the opponent had been poisoned. It became easier for Team D9 to deal with the insectoid.

 

When Lu Ye heard a whistle from a distance, he turned to look in that direction.

 

Knowing what was on his mind, Hua Ci said, “Go ahead. Be careful and don’t push yourself too hard.”

 

Only then did Lu Ye retract his hand from the woman’s waist. After Yi Yi returned to Amber’s body, Lu Ye leapt into the air and traced the source of the voice.

 

They bumped into each other and reunited for a short time. Parting ways was inevitable for any cultivator, especially when the gap between the powers of both parties widened. It would be hard for them to work together again.
