The Great Sage of Humanity
Chapter 26, Official Disciple

...[.We've been ambushed!] Although Lu Ye's head was spinning, he quickly understood the truth of the matter and consequently felt anxious. He was only a Three Point Spiritual cultivator. How could he face a situation like this?...

A ray of yellow light suddenly shot out from the hill below them. It was aimed directly at where Lu Ye and the Sect Master stood. That yellow ray of light was stable and extremely fast, arriving in front of them in an instant.

The Sect Master's hair, beard, and clothes were fluttering in the wind. He quickly drew a circle in the air, his Inner Strength surging at his fingertips. The Spiritual Strength Shield that was visible to the naked eye immediately formed. Its shape was circular, forming a barrier behind the Sect Master and Lu Ye. There were countless beautiful runes on the shield that swam like tadpoles.

There was a loud explosion. A yellow ray of light struck the shield and was blocked firmly by the shield. However, it gushed forward like a spring, exploding towards them continuously. The Sect Master glared at him angrily. Spiritual Strength fluctuated in his palm as he maintained the Spiritual Strength Shield, caught in a deadlock with that yellow light.

Never seen such a mysterious battle scene before, Lu Ye was completely stunned by the sight for quite some time.

As the yellow lights and the Spiritual Strength Shield collided with each other, the sound of something hitting the ground on the other side sounded deafening. He turned his head to look in that direction only to see a burly figure like a steel tower soaring into the sky and rushing towards this direction. Under that figure, a small hill shattered into pieces. It had clearly been destroyed by that man.

The man who lunged towards them was enveloped in a blood-red light as if his blood was evaporating from his body, which made him look extremely brutal. Meanwhile, the Sect Master was casting a spell and was grappling with a yellow light at this moment. The burly cultivator clearly wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to advance. His speed was extremely fast and he arrived within 100 meters of the Sect Master.

The Sect Master changed the cultivation technique he used. The Spiritual Strength Shield that resisted the yellow light immediately turned in a slightly different direction. The yellow light struck the Shield of Spiritual Strength, but a shield as smooth as a mirror deflected the trajectory of that yellow light and pointed it towards that burly figure.

That burly figure had clearly never expected such a thing to happen. By the time he saw the yellow light darting towards him, it was already too late to dodge the attack. He could only roar and raise his hand forward. A moment later, the burly figure was enveloped in a yellow light. He staggered due to the impact, a burning smell coming out from his flesh and blood.

Lu Ye could barely resist cheering at the sight. Although he could not see any danger during the brief conversation with his vision, the attack of the Sect Master let out an inevitable tremor. It was a very light yet sophisticated movement. However, he was enveloped by an immense sense of horror soon after. His entire body instantly became cold as if the entire blood on his body was frozen. Before he knew what was going on, the Sect Master groaned. A glimmer of blood appeared before his eyes and the scent of blood filled his nostrils.

The world is spinning with dizziness. By the time Lu Ye regained her senses, she lowered her head to look with a surprised expression. It was because a 30-centimeter-long wound appeared in the stomach of the Sect Master. The flesh around the wound was curved. Traces of something green surrounded the edges of the wound, writhing like maggots. He did not know when the Sect Master was injured or who injured the Sect Master.

At this moment, the Spiritual Strength of the Sect Master gushed forth. He desperately fled in a certain direction at high speed, taking Lu Ye with him.

The roar of gusts of wind whistled in Lu Ye's ears. He was safe and protected with the protection of the Sect Master's Spiritual Strength. It was only at this moment that he saw how many people were attacking the Sect Master.

One of them was the burly figure he had noticed earlier. There was also a skinny man. That person was probably the sneak attacker who had just fired that yellow beam. That person was still using endless cultivation techniques while chasing, interrupting the escape of the Sect Master. Fortunately, the Sect Master was able to overcome the attack.

[NO! There is a third!] There was a figure flickering in the air behind the Sect Master, chasing him nonstop. The figure looked like a ghost and was hard to see well. Judging from its slender figure, it was probably female. Every time his body appeared, the distance between him and the Sect Master grew closer.

They would not have managed to escape if this situation continued. The cultivation technique performed by the skinny man had greatly disrupted the speed of the Sect Master. Not to mention, the Sect Master was injured.

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

The current situation was obviously very bad for the Sect Master. If he was alone, he would be able to escape even if he could not win against the three. This is the territory of the Grand Sky Coalition. He just needs to hold on for a little while. Help will eventually come because he sent a message of help at the time he was ambushed earlier. Unfortunately, he had to guard Lu Ye and consequently was unable to exert his full strength. He would be surrounded by all three in less than 10 seconds if this continued.

[Lu Ye will definitely die in case of a fight between us. Just the impact of the fight between cultivators of our level alone was not something he could withstand. He was completely dependent on my protection to stay safe and sound. I'm afraid I can only bet at this point!] After making up his mind, he asked, "Lu Ye, have you heard of Spirit Creek Battlefield?"

Lu Ye quickly replied, "No!"

He did not know why the Sect Master was asking 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 too shallow.

"There's no other choice even if you've never heard of it." The Sect Master sighed. While escaping, he took out a jade slip and stuck it onto his forehead. Immediately after, he took out an engraved beam. The carved block was square-shaped. It is difficult to determine from what material it is made. Light flowed across the engraved beam. At first glance it is easy to say that it is an amazing item.

He shouted, “Tang Yi Feng, the 10th Sect Master of the Red Blood Sect respectfully invited Heaven to witness Lu Ye's acceptance of Bing Zhou as the official disciple of the Red Blood Sect. May Heaven witness this!”

While speaking, he sprayed a mouthful of blood onto the engraved beam. The engraved blocks that had already been flashing with light became even more radiant than before. Something seemed to fall from the sky and land on the engraved beam.

"Grow your hands!" he yelled.

Lu Ye hurriedly extended his hand. The Sect Master raised the engraved beam and attached it to the back of his hand. With a loud bang, he felt as if his entire body was being hit hard by a sledgehammer. He immediately felt dizzy.

"Survive! I'll send someone to look for you!” The voice of the Sect Master sounded in his ears. At the same time, he sensed the Sect Master put something into his arms.

When the three people chasing them from behind saw what was happening, they immediately increased the intensity of his pursuit. The skinny man continuously shot out yellow rays of light, forcing the Sect Master to dodge desperately. Borrowing this momentum, the female ghost figure quickly drew closer to Sect Master. He looked like he was going to take action.

At this moment, the figure of the Sect Master suddenly fell down and crashed into the trees on the mountain. This mountain was barren and overgrown with weeds, yet he seemed to be very familiar with this place. He accurately found a dilapidated palace among the tall weeds of Humans. With a flick of his sleeve, the weeds flew and revealed the true appearance of the palace.

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

The three of them had been hunting the Sect Master secretly all this time with an attitude that indicated that they were going to kill him. However, they panicked when they saw the palace.
