Humanity’s Great Sage

attacks.

[No! There’s a third person!] There was a flickering figure in the air behind the Sect Master, chasing after him relentlessly.
That figure looked like a ghost and was hard to see properly.
Judging by the slim figure, it was probably a female.
Every time her body appeared, the distance between her and the Sect Master closed a little more.

They would not be able to escape successfully if this situation continued.
The cultivation technique cast by the thin man had greatly interfered with the Sect Master’s speed.
Not to mention, the Sect Master was injured.

At this point, how could Lu Ye not understand that the Sect Master had been injured by the woman with the flickering figure? The three people had a clear division of labor.
The thin man who was casting the cultivation techniques was tasked with exhausting the Sect Master; the burly man was tasked with distracting the Sect Master; the real assassination was supposed to be carried out by the woman hiding in the shadows.

It was just that they had underestimated the Sect Master’s strength.
Despite such an elaborately planned ambush, the Sect Master not only managed to survive but also had enough strength to keep Lu Ye safe.

The situation at the moment was obviously very bad for the Sect Master.
If he had been alone, he would have been able to escape even if he couldn’t have won against those three.
This was the Grand Sky Coalition’s territory.
He would only have needed to hold on for a while.
Help would have come eventually since he had already sent out a message for help the moment he had been ambushed just now.
Unfortunately, he had to take care of Lu Ye and was unable to exert his full strength as a result.
He was going to be surrounded by those three in less than 10 seconds at this rate.

[Lu Ye will most certainly die if a fight breaks out between us.
Just the impact from a fight between cultivators of our level alone is not something he can withstand.
He is completely reliant on my protection to remain safe and sound.
I’m afraid I can only take a gamble at this point!] Having made up his mind, he asked, “Lu Ye, have you ever heard of the Spirit Creek Battlefield?”

Lu Ye quickly replied, “No!”

He did not know why the Sect Master was asking about this for no reason while they were on the run.
It was a pity that he had honestly never heard of the Spirit Creek Battlefield before.
His understanding of this world was simply too shallow.

“There’s no other option even if you’ve never heard of it.” The Sect Master sighed.
While fleeing, he took out a jade slip and pressed it against his forehead.
Immediately afterward, he took out an engraved block.
The engraved block was square in shape.
It was difficult to determine what material it was made out of.
Light was flowing across the engraved block.
It was easy to tell that it was an extraordinary item at first glance.

He shouted, “Tang Yi Feng, the 10th Sect Master of the Crimson Blood Sect respectfully invites the Heavens to witness the acceptance of Lu Ye from Bing Zhou as an official disciple of the Crimson Blood Sect.
May the Heavens witness this!”

While speaking, he sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the engraved block.
The engraved block that was already flashing with light became even more radiant than before.
Something seemed to fall out of the sky and landed on the engraved block.

“Give me your hand!” he shouted.

Lu Ye hurriedly reached out his hand.
The Sect Master lifted the engraved block and pressed it against the back of his hand.
With a loud bang, he felt as though his entire body had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
He immediately felt dizzy.

“Survive! I will send somebody to search for you!” The Sect Master’s voice rang in his ears.
At the same time, he felt the Sect Master stuffing something into his arms.

When the three people chasing after them in the rear saw what was happening, they immediately increased the intensity of their pursuit.
That thin man continuously shot out rays of yellow light, forcing the Sect Master to dodge desperately.
Borrowing this momentum, the ghostly figure of the woman swiftly drew closer to the Sect Master.
She looked like she was about to take action.

At this moment, the Sect Master’s figure suddenly fell downward and crashed into the trees on the mountain.
This mountain was barren and overgrown with weeds, but he seemed to be very familiar with this place.
He accurately found a dilapidated palace among the weeds as tall as a Human.
With a great swish of his sleeves, the weeds flew apart and revealed the true appearance of the palace.

Upon seeing this palace, the thin man’s expression darkened.
“Stop him quickly!”

The three of them had been hunting the Sect Master silently all this while with a posture that indicated they were going to kill him.
However, they panicked at the sight of the palace.
