Sage of Humanity-Chapter 340 - 338: No Regrets in My Heart
Even saying so, Li Baxian was intentionally provoking. If the Golden Clouds Tower truly couldn’t restrain themselves from taking action here, it would lead to endless future troubles.
Unless they had absolute confidence that they could kill Lu Ye!
If that were the case, they would be the heroes of Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.
But to kill Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer under the protection of Li Baxian was an extremely difficult task.
The man in black had no such confidence, and therefore he didn’t dare to make any rash moves.
He regretted deeply; had he known this would happen, he would have led his disciples back to the Nine Provinces. Greed for those extra day or two has resulted in Golden Clouds Tower being in an awkward situation now.
With a faint ringing of a cutlass, a sword light slashed diagonally, shattering the jade cluster hanging by the man in black’s waist.
As the jade cluster was destroyed, the big array ceased operating. Though there was still a light screen enveloping it, it had lost all the might of the big array.
"Giant Armor, clear the way!"
Lu Ye ordered.
Giant Armor stepped forward immediately, undeterred by any Golden Clouds Tower cultivators blocking his path, bulldozing straight through them.
From time to time, muffled groans and even the sounds of snapping bones could be heard.
With Giant Armor’s formidable body, not to mention nobody within the inner circle able to match his physical strength, even amongst the physique cultivators in the Core Circle, only a few could contend with him.
How could those Golden Clouds Tower cultivators blocking the way possibly stop him?
Following closely behind Giant Armor, Lu Ye walked with his hand on his cutlass.
The several hundred cultivators of Golden Clouds Tower watched, grinding their teeth in humiliation and anger. Yet without the governor’s order, no matter how unwilling they were, they didn’t dare to be the first to strike. Everyone knew what the consequences of acting first would be.
The Divine Sea Realm beings from both camps had already agreed upon terms. Golden Clouds Tower was Lu Ye’s last stop—it was imperative to send this plague god away as quickly as possible. As for losing some face or the empowerment from Heaven’s Augury Pillar, those were not concerns; Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would compensate Golden Clouds Tower afterward.
This was also why Li Baxian did not wreak havoc here.
Today, here, whoever acted recklessly would break the peace talk of the Divine Sea Realm beings, and the consequences that would ensue would be too much for any at the Spirit Stream Level 9 to bear.
Giant Armor forcefully cleared a path through the crowd, heading straight to the Heaven’s Augury Hall.
Lu Ye entered the Heaven’s Augury Hall and, leveraging his authority as the Governor of Righteous Blood Sect, began to plunder the enhancements of Heaven’s Augury Pillar belonging to Golden Clouds Tower.
Above the plaza, the cultivators of Golden Clouds Tower closed their eyes in agony. The cracking sounds coming from the hall were like the breaking of their own backbones.
As various enhancements were plundered, the spiritual energy of nature in the station swiftly thinned; the range the station could emanate was continuously shrinking, and even the barely maintained protective array also shattered thunderously.
Shortly after, he stepped out, nodding slightly to Li Baxian who was guarding outside the hall.
Once again, Li Baxian took out his broad flying sword.
Several people climbed onto it one after another, and with a hearty laugh from Li Baxian, who then controlled the sword to rise, they turned into a streak of Liu Guang. For so many years, he had never felt so carefree. With his prowess, on the battlefield of the Spirit Stream, apart from those few strong individuals on the Spirit Stream Ranking, he could kill almost anyone he wished.
But he had never experienced this feeling of a mere few people breaking into a sect’s residence, openly plundering the Heaven’s Augury Pillar’s blessings surrounded by hundreds of enemy sect cultivators. The frustrated and stifled expressions of those Golden Clouds Tower cultivators, unable to voice their rage, indeed brought great satisfaction.
Almost at the same moment Li Baxian took Lu Ye and the others away, atop the spirit mountaintop of Sleeping Dragon Mountain, a group of beings in the Divine Sea Realm each received the news.
During those brief moments just now, these beings in the Divine Sea Realm were on pins and needles.
Because they received a message that sent shivers down everyone’s spine.
Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer took only a few people with him and headed to Golden Clouds Tower’s residence. As a result, the Golden Clouds Tower’s cultivators still hadn’t drawn back to the Nine Provinces, and the two sides encountered each other at Golden Clouds Tower’s residence!
No one knew what would happen next.
If the Golden Clouds Tower’s cultivators couldn’t hold back and took action, not only would the Spirit Stream battlefield become thoroughly chaotic, but they, the Divine Sea Realm beings, would also have to engage in a grand battle here.
Luckily, Golden Clouds Tower was sensible.
The losses of Golden Clouds Tower definitely needed to be well compensated, but this was something for Ten Thousand Demons Ridge to consider.

The elder from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge looked at the sect master and said, "Brother Thang, the matter has been satisfactorily resolved, but let’s not have a second incident like this."
The sect master nodded incessantly, "I will confine him as soon as we return!"
The several Divine Sea Realm beings from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge glanced coldly at the sect master, understanding all too well the old fox’s intentions. In name, it was to confine Lu Yiye, but in reality, it was a disguised protection, allowing the young man to avoid the limelight.

This time, the incident was too significant, and events from the Spirit Stream battlefield rarely affected the Nine Provinces, as the Spirit Stream Realm is considered a rather low level. However, this time, the incident on the Spirit Stream battlefield has led to the gathering of Divine Sea Realm cultivators from both sides to discuss a resolution.
This was unprecedented.
It could be said that Lu Ye, the Sect Destroyer, did many things that one at the Spirit Stream Realm simply could not achieve. A once orderly Spirit Stream battlefield had become a mess due to his involvement.
If he dared to show himself on the Spirit Stream battlefield now, he would surely be targeted in various ways.
The elderly man turned to Pang Zhen, "The agreed compensation will be prepared within a month."
Pang Zhen nodded slightly. He wasn’t worried that the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would default on their agreement, or it’s better said that they wouldn’t dare to. If they did, it would only be looking for trouble.
A short while later, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge left under the leadership of the elderly man, flying away through the air.
Pang Zhen took a deep breath, the tension in his heart somewhat relieving. To deal with the matter of the Spirit Stream battlefield, the Divine Sea Realm cultivators had stayed here for quite a few days, attentively monitoring the changes on the battlefield and living in constant fear, which was a rare experience.
"Let’s go," Pang Zhen called out, and the group ascended into the sky before quickly dispersing in different directions, as they all hailed from different provincial states.
Midway, Pang Zhen said, "Veteran Thang, now that the boy is at Level 9, he should go to the Core Circle after he switches to a Heaven Rank technique."
"What do you mean?"
"If he’s willing, he can cultivate at the Righteousness Sect’s location."
The sect master nodded, "I’ll talk to him and see what he wishes."
The sect master understood that this was not Pang Zhen trying to recruit their disciple or the Righteous Blood Sect, but rather a form of protection.
Lu Ye had caused such a commotion on the Spirit Stream battlefield this time that all the forces of the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge saw him as a thorn in their side. Even though his cultivation in the Spirit Stream Level 9 was considered outstanding in the inner circle, once he switched to a Heaven Rank technique and entered the Core Circle, he wouldn’t be all that special.
Once he entered the Core Circle, the cultivators from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would certainly target him. It was foreseeable that once he entered the Core Circle, attacks from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge would commence. Explore hidden tales at novelbuddy
The situation in the Core Circle was different from the inner circle, with many powerful beings and quicker responses. Even if Lu Ye had the means to break arrays, it would be much harder for him to act as recklessly in the Core Circle as he did in the inner circle.
The Righteousness Sect, after all, is a 1st grade sect, and if Lu Ye were to cultivate at the Righteousness Sect’s location, he would be somewhat safer.
As fellow Bingzhou cultivators, they ought to help each other.
However, the sect master couldn’t promise this without consulting with Lu Ye first.
Seven or eight days later, a sword light descended from the sky, landing within the territory of the Righteous Blood Sect.
The reason it took so long was mainly that even with Li Baxian’s cultivation level, it was somewhat strenuous to carry several people and control their weapons. They had to take turns controlling the weapons on their way back, which naturally slowed them down quite a bit.
However, the journey back was peaceful, and they didn’t encounter a single cultivator from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. Recently, the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had truly been beaten into submission, their sects’ territories breached, their once-reliable Sect Protection Arrays rendered useless.
Now the people of the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge were still engulfed in the atmosphere of that terrifying domination. Even though there were messages that Lu Ye, the Sect Destroyer, had ceased his actions, they did not dare to let down their guard. All cultivators stayed on full alert within their territories, ready for any emergencies.
On the plaza of the Righteous Blood Sect’s residence, hundreds of cultivators who had received the news were waiting. Seeing the sword light descend, led by Chen Yu, Guk Yang and others, they all saluted, "Welcome back Brother Five to the sect!"
As Hua Ci mentioned before, when word spread that Lu Ye was leading the Haotian Alliance’s Allied Forces to conquer the inner circle, the cultivators of the Righteous Blood Sect were clamoring to help, but the distance was too great, and their cultivations were not high enough, so they settled down.
Only after learning that Lu Ye had mobilized a second Allied Force did Hua Ci, as a representative, go to assist.
Now that Lu Ye had returned triumphant, the Righteous Blood Sect naturally welcomed him warmly. Their governor had accomplished such great deeds outside, and even though these disciples hadn’t participated in them, they couldn’t help but feel proud.
With different standings come different identities.
To the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer was a calamity, a devil that everyone deemed unforgivable and sought to slay. But to the Haotian Alliance and the Righteous Blood Sect, Lu Ye was a boon, a hero.
A crowd bustled with excitement, and many were curious about the Giant Armor that Lu Ye had brought back. They had always heard that Lu Ye was accompanied by an extremely powerful physique cultivator, but it wasn’t until they saw Giant Armor with their own eyes that they understood how vigorous its blood Qi was.
He Xiying, also a physique cultivator, even couldn’t resist stepping forward and hammered two fists on Giant Armor’s solid chest. Giant Armor was unscathed, but she ended up hurting her hands. The difference in cultivation was one thing, but the disparity in their physiques was the main reason.
Watching the lively crowd, Li Baxian stood to the side feeling gratified. He sensed endless vitality from these younger brothers and sisters.
He once dreamed that the residence of the Righteous Blood Sect would be as bustling as other sects, but in the end, it seemed the Righteous Blood Sect was on the verge of being expelled.
Until this day, he saw what he longed for.
After a long while, everyone began to disperse gradually.
"Junior brother, I’m leaving now," Li Baxian suddenly spoke.
He had once resented having to join the Loyal Heart Sect because he was from the Righteous Blood Sect, but now that knot in his heart was untied. As long as the Righteous Blood Sect still had Lu Ye, it would never decline. He could even envision the Righteous Blood Sect’s rapid rise under the leadership of his junior brother.
His junior brother had accomplished what he had wanted but couldn’t do himself. What regrets could he have left in his heart?
