Sage of Humanity-Chapter 353 - 351 Kicking up a Fuss

Lu Ye learned all this from his Second Senior Sister, so he had always been aware that his fourth senior brother’s situation at the Loyal Heart Sect was not too good.

The battle in which Li Baxian’s spiritual orifice was destroyed indeed involved some top sects from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge causing trouble, but it was not without the tacit consent of the Loyal Heart Sect.

Simply because he was from the Righteous Blood Sect, he was constantly targeted by various sects from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge.

Even though he joined the Loyal Heart Sect when he was very young, the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge had no intention of letting him go; consequently, even the disciples of the Loyal Heart Sect often suffered from being targeted.

It wasn’t until after Li Baxian’s spiritual orifice was destroyed that these targeted actions gradually ceased.

Of course, no one knew the exact role the Loyal Heart Sect played in the battle where Li Baxian’s spiritual orifice was destroyed; this matter was now impossible to investigate further. All of these were Shui Yuan’s conjectures and couldn’t be taken as certain.

Regardless, it was true that Li Baxian’s situation in the Loyal Heart Sect was not good.

He was nominally the Deputy Governor of the Loyal Heart Sect, but in reality, the Loyal Heart Sect only treated him as a gatekeeper.

His strength was formidable; with him stationed at the base, even those 1st grade sects from the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge dared not provoke him without cause.

He rarely had opportunities to leave; most of the time, he stayed within his station.

Unable to leave freely meant he couldn’t earn merits. Otherwise, with Li Baxian’s abilities, how could he not have accumulated enough merits for an orifice repair pill after more than a decade?

In the previous battle at the Golden Light Peak, Li Baxian left his station without authorization and was confined upon his return to the Loyal Heart Sect, thus he was punished.

Putting aside this historical grudge, let’s talk about the present.

Feng Yuechan, because of Li Baxian’s sake, sealed her cultivation for over a decade without seeking to advance to the Cloud River Realm, which also caused dissatisfaction among many in the Loyal Heart Sect.

The elders were discontent with Li Baxian, and the younger generation was influenced by this, naturally lacking a favorable impression of him and thinking he was the one dragging down Feng Yuechan.

Outside the big array, as Lu Ye looked at the man in green with an unfriendly demeanor, he spoke up again, "I’m here to see my fourth senior brother, please do me the favor of passing on the message. A few words and I’ll be gone." Discover stories with novelbuddy

He came to the Loyal Heart Sect’s station, naturally not to seek affiliation for his cultivation.

Knowing that the people from the Loyal Heart Sect had a poor attitude toward disciples of the Righteous Blood Sect, why would he come here to ask for trouble? He just had some things that he hoped to clarify in front of his fourth senior brother.

"What does someone from the Righteous Blood Sect want with our Loyal Heart Sect’s fourth senior brother? The Loyal Heart Sect does not have the person you’re looking for!"

"Li Baxian..."

"Li Baxian is a disciple of the Loyal Heart Sect, not your fourth senior brother. Do not bring this up again in the future!"

Lu Ye watched him expressionlessly for a while, and the other party returned the gaze without showing any weakness.

As cultivators of the Haotian Alliance, Lu Ye had never encountered such an uncompromising one before; normally, regardless of which sect they came from, if they belonged to the Haotian Alliance, even if they didn’t know each other, their interactions would be courteous.

Of course, schemers like Sima Yang were a different story.

Lu Ye raised his hand to touch the battlefield marking on himself and began to search for Feng Yuechan’s marking.

In the Chess Sea, he and Feng Yuechan had also exchanged markings, so he could contact her just the same at this time.

Either his fourth senior brother or Feng Yuechan would be in the station.

As long as he could contact Feng Yuechan, he would naturally be able to contact Li Baxian.

Before Lu Ye could find Feng Yuechan’s marking, the man in green from the big array shouted impatiently, "The Loyal Heart Sect’s station is no place for idlers, leave quickly, or don’t blame me for being rude!"

Lu Ye’s movement paused, he looked up at the other person, and continued his action, but this time he selected Shui Yuan’s marking, "Second Senior Sister."

Although Shui Yuan was at the Nine Provinces sect headquarters, because she was the Righteous Blood Sect’s Seal Envoy, Lu Ye could still contact her even across a division of heaven and earth.

"I’m here."

"Help me contact fourth senior brother, tell him I’m outside the Loyal Heart Sect station."

"Okay."

As this round of messaging ended, the man in green from within the big array shouted again, "Aren’t you leaving yet!"

Lu Ye activated the Insight Spirit Runes and observed the big array before him. He quickly located a node of the big array nearby, his figure flashed to that node, and he flipped out several array banners from his hand.

Seeing this scene, both the man in green and the cultivator who had previously delivered the message were stunned. Both had the same question suddenly pop up in their minds: what in the world was Lu Yiye intending to do?

As the array banners were placed, Lu Ye urged his spirit force.

The man in green finally realized what was happening. Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer actually intended to break the array, and immediately, he exclaimed furiously, "How audacious, it seems you prefer the penalty to the toast!"

With that, he stepped out of the big array, his spirit force surging around his body in an instant, revealing his 9th Heaven level cultivation clearly. Spirit force gathered before him, and his magic began to take shape rapidly.

However, before he could unleash his spell, a bright flash of a blade passed before him. A stream of fiery red spirit force flowed, shattering the nearly formed spell instantly. His chest felt a stab of pain, startling him into hastily retreating and pulling back into the protective array.

The protective array was capable of blocking outside sect cultivators from entering and exiting, but if one were a cultivator from the sect itself and bore the battlefield marking, they could come and go freely. Thus, when the man in the green shirt entered and exited, the operation of the big array was not affected.

After retreating back inside the array and looking down, his face showed shock because his chest was slashed open, and blood quickly seeped out.

He frantically checked his injuries to confirm that it was just a superficial wound and then he calmed down.

"Senior Brother Woo..." A cultivator by his side called out tensely.

The man in green, Senior Brother Woo, looked up and could not help but bellow, "How presumptuous!"

It wasn’t without reason; after Lu Ye the Sect Destroyer forced him back with a single strike, he had actually cut an opening in his home’s protective array, as if lifting a curtain, and casually entered.

No one had ever barged into the big array of his homestead without permission before; Lu Yiye of the Righteous Blood Sect had set a precedent!

This was a blatant provocation.

Stepping into the array, Lu Ye looked towards Giant Armor and tilted his head as a gesture.

Giant Armor strode forward and followed him inside.

Phong Yue was dumbfounded. The series of shocks had fully woken her from her daydream; her Fifth Senior Brother had not taken her here to affiliate for cultivation—this was clearly a challenge!

This was the territory of a 2nd grade sect, the Loyal Heart Sect!

How audacious and reckless!

Suddenly, two pairs of eyes looked directly at her; it was Lu Ye and Giant Armor who had already walked into the array.

Phong Yue trembled, "I... I... I’ll wait for you outside!"

She dared not enter this dangerous place; even ten lives wouldn’t be enough if she really ventured in.

Giant Armor turned around and stepped out, his fan-like hand grasping the nape of her neck and lifting her into the array.

Having just steadied herself, intense waves of spirit force surged nearby, followed by an angry, stormy voice: "You dare to ambush me!"

Senior Brother Woo, in his green shirt, was clearly frantic. His original plan to step out of the array and stop Lu Ye had failed as he was forced back by a single strike. He found it humiliating to be so effortlessly repelled given his 9th Heaven level of cultivation facing Lu Ye, a mere 7th Heaven level combat cultivator.

But, being ambushed was something he couldn’t help.

Fortunately, he was now fully prepared; as he shouted, numerous magic and spells took shape and enveloped the skies, hurtling towards where Lu Ye and Giant Armor stood.

Phong Yue felt her heart go cold in an instant, watching as relentless attacks bore down on her, and she had no means to defend herself. All she could do was close her eyes and wait for death.

Just as she thought so, a tall figure stepped in front of her, robust blood Qi and spirit force began to stir, accompanied by a series of heavy thuds. The towering figure in front of her vibrated slightly, forming a sturdy barrier.

In that moment, all Phong Yue could see was the figure shielding her from the storm, a sense of security she had never before felt blossomed within her.

Senior Brother Woo, with his 9th Heaven level of cultivation and undoubtedly vast combat experience, had not opted for those powerful magic and spells; because the distance between him and Lu Ye was not great, to deal with a combat cultivator like Lu Ye, he needed to prevail with smaller magic.

Compared to those with immense power, smaller spells had faster casting speed and a higher frequency of attacks, which were most suitable for the current situation.

Then he witnessed an unforgettable scene—Lu Ye’s speed suddenly accelerated to the point of leaving afterimages, weaving through the multitude of spells. Almost in the blink of an eye, he had evaded all attacks, and the distance of over a dozen yards between them was closed to just three in a flash.

The long saber, cloaked in fiery red spirit force, swept out a deadly arc, and Senior Brother Woo was overcome with panic. Spirit force surged around his body in a mighty rush to expand outwards in all directions, aiming to push Lu Ye back.

Having fought so many magic cultivators, Lu Ye was already on guard against their tactics.

Spells like this, designed to push close-range enemies away, were similar to the spirit force barriers of magic cultivators, a skill every magic cultivator was proficient in. The closer one was to a magic cultivator, the stronger the repelling force. However, as long as one maintained a safe distance, such a spell was of little use.

His forward charge momentarily stalled, and after waiting for Senior Brother Woo’s spell to finish, Lu Ye approached again.

"What rich combat experience, how many magic cultivators has he fought?" Senior Brother Woo inwardly exclaimed. As he saw the other’s saber slashing across, he instinctively ducked.

He dared not lift his head—failing to do so would mean losing his head. Then he saw a knee ascending rapidly from below.

The strike seemed as though he had willingly thrust his head towards it.

Bang...

The impact sounded, and Senior Brother Woo spun through the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

Stars danced before his eyes, and his forehead throbbed excruciatingly. Senior Brother Woo suspected his skull had cracked. He scrambled to get up, only to feel a flaming blade pressed against his forehead.

Looking along the blade, he saw Lu Yiye standing calmly to the side, looking down on him from a superior position.

Senior Brother Woo’s eyelids twitched. To be honest, he couldn’t fathom how he had lost because the fight had been too brief, so brief that he hadn’t been able to exert his full strength before being bewilderingly subdued.

Recalling his earlier eagerness to teach the other a lesson, now the tables had turned, and he was the one being schooled.

"Senior Brother Woo!" The 7th Heaven level cultivator by the side called out again.
