Sage of Humanity-Chapter 566 - 564

```

Every day, Lu Ye would study and cultivate, sparing some time to hone himself in the Mirage Realm, familiarizing himself with the might of the Boulder Mountain Saber after its upgrade. His days passed without turbulence.

This kind of life was something many cultivators in the Cloud River Realm yearned for, having a stable cultivation environment, without the need to travel tirelessly everywhere. Naturally, there would be fewer dangers, allowing for a steady improvement in cultivation.

Lu Ye relished it.

Although since he began his cultivation journey, he had always been on the move, no one would reject such a peaceful and tranquil life unless they had no other choice.

While cultivating in the spirit ground could not compare to obtaining spirit fortune sticks, it had the advantage of stability, and in terms of overall efficiency, it might even be faster than wandering around looking for spirit fortune sticks to improve cultivation. After all, such sticks were not something one could get just by wanting them; it all depended on fate.

Three days after the wolf pack disappeared, in the evening when the setting sun painted the sky, Lu Ye, who was engrossed in his book and cultivation, suddenly looked up towards the outside. He saw a dense mass of figures appearing outside the great Formation of the spirit ground.

The wolf pack had returned.

The imposing alpha wolf was covered in blood, and the other demon wolves also bore traces of injuries; it seemed like they had gone through a great battle.

However, to Lu Ye's surprise, the number of wolves had increased.

The pack originally consisted of only a hundred or so demon wolves, but this time, they returned with more than two hundred, and among them were clearly some young pups that had not yet fully grown.

Under the alpha wolf's lead, the pack stopped outside the big Formation, waiting quietly.

Lu Ye waved the array banner, opening a gap in the big Formation, and only then did the wolf pack pour into the spirit ground, each finding a suitable place to rest, and the injured demon wolves silently licked their wounds.

The alpha wolf led a few demon wolves straight to Lu Ye, and at its signal, those wolves stepped forward, spitting out the demonic pills they had held in their mouths.

Previously, Lu Ye had already received a dozen or so demonic pills from the pack, and this time, they had accomplished something unknown—they not only grew their numbers but also brought back nearly fifty demonic pills.

This was clearly the wolf pack's form of gratitude and the payment for the rune tattoos Lu Ye had marked them with.

Quite a profit!

The materials Lu Ye bought from the Heaven's Augury treasure vault cost him just over a thousand in merit, but the value of these demonic pills was much more than that. If he sold them to the Heaven's Augury treasure vault, they would be worth ten thousand.

The wolf pack knew gratitude, and Lu Ye was not stingy. He immediately spent some merit to buy a batch of healing pills from the Heaven's Augury treasure vault and, joining forces with Yiyi, administered them to the injured demon wolves.

After all, the safety of the spirit ground in the future would still rely on this wolf pack. Lu Ye chose Sky Valley for his spirit ground specifically to use the strength of the wolf pack.

Without the pack, he would never have set up the spirit ground here. While the place was indeed secluded, the risks were also great, and if a powerful demon beast attacked, he and a few others like Li Baxian might not be able to hold them off.

Some of the new pack members were reluctant to interact with Lu Ye, but under the alpha wolf's intimidation, they could only obediently take the healing pills.

The vitality of demon beasts is incredibly tenacious. As long as the injury isn't too severe and they don't perish on the spot, they are generally not in danger of losing their lives.

A few days later, the wolf pack had mostly recovered.

The alpha wolf brought its newly arrived kin to Lu Ye, asking him to help tattoo spirit runes. Lu Ye did not refuse; enhancing the strength of the wolf pack was akin to enhancing the protective force of the spirit ground.

At the same time, thirty miles away from Great Reversal Valley, in a cave, Tan Sheng and the other two were seated on the ground, each in meditation for cultivation recovery.

Even though the three of them were at Level 9, they appeared somewhat ragged at the moment. They had been searching for traces of Lu Ye in the vicinity these days, but, unfortunately, the compass they held fell short compared to the tracking disc. They could only vaguely determine Lu Ye's direction and could not pinpoint his location exactly.

In this way, as they searched, they occasionally startled some powerful demon beasts, inevitably leading to fierce battles.

Just two hours before, the three of them had joined forces to slay a demon beast comparable to the Cloud River Level 9 Realm.

Although they came upon some gains, their main goal was Lu Ye. Without finding him, no matter how many demon beasts they killed, it would be of no use.

"Lu Yiye should be in this vicinity. Let's rest for tonight, and search towards the southeast tomorrow," Tan Sheng spoke.

Wei Que and Xia Liang had no objections. Though they had not found any trace of Lu Ye so far, according to the clues they presently held, Lu Ye had never left this area, so as long as they continued their search, they would eventually find him.

"We have searched this region of about thirty miles several times with no findings. That Lu Yiye is skilled in the Array Path. If he really has set up his spirit ground here, he would definitely arrange many big arrays. When we search tomorrow, we cannot overlook any suspicious places," Wei Que added.

"Indeed, we should," Tan Sheng nodded. "However, the teleportation arrays he has arranged are ultimately troublesome. If he has laid out teleportation arrays in advance, even if we find him, we may not be able to kill him."

In the hunting grounds, Tan Sheng had been using the tracking disc to pursue the traces of Lu Ye. However, Lu Ye's movements were elusive, now in front, then behind, abruptly shifting forty to sixty miles away.

At that time, he didn't know what was happening and even suspected that there was a problem with the tracking disc.

It wasn't until the hunting ground closed that he calmed down to reflect and after asking some people did he finally form a conjecture: Lu Yiye might be able to array teleportation arrays! That was the only way he could move instantly over distances of forty to sixty miles, eluding pursuit.

```

When he arrived at this conclusion, he was genuinely astonished, because not just any array cultivator could set up a teleportation array. Even for those in the True Lake Realm, setting up a teleportation array was no easy task, let alone for Lu Ye, who was at the Cloud River Realm.

However, aside from a teleportation array, there was no other way to explain the bizarre circumstances he had encountered at first.

Afterward, when he met up with Wei Que and Xia Liang, their conversation further solidified this speculation.

Wei Que had also pursued Lu Ye before. The latter had clearly entered a cave, but when Wei Que searched the cave, Lu Ye was nowhere to be seen. The only thing left was the trace of an exploded Formation, as though someone was destroying evidence.

The three of them then carefully examined the places in the hunting grounds where Lu Ye had been seen before, and eventually found a teleportation array left by Lu Ye, thus confirming their guess regarding the teleportation array.

Xia Liang said, "I've asked the elders of my sect about the teleportation array and there's no need to worry too much. Even if Lu Yiye can set it up, given his cultivation, the range he could cover with his teleportation array wouldn't be too great. Moreover, a teleportation array requires distant corresponding points to function, and with the demon beasts roaming in Great Wilderness Mountain, he definitely wouldn't dare to set up teleportation arrays outside at will, lest they get destroyed by passing demon beasts. Rather than worrying about the teleportation array, I am more concerned about whether he would call upon Heaven's Augury Pillars in the spirit ground."

Upon hearing this, both Tan Sheng and Wei Que fell silent.

Summoning Heaven's Augury Pillars would be unlikely for others due to the great expense, but for Lu Yiye, it was completely normal.

How rich was that guy! He had just recently acquired materials worth twenty or thirty million merit points from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, so he definitely had plenty of merit points on hand, enough to summon Heaven's Augury Pillars at any time.

This was precisely the method he had used to escape from the hunting ground before.

"Last time he had the protection of the Golden Body Token, so no one could stop him. Without the Golden Body Token, he would not have been able to escape last time, so the problem isn't too serious," Tan Sheng spoke, seemingly reassuring himself. After pausing, he added, "Even if he summoned Heaven's Augury Pillars in advance and ran when the situation went sour, at the very least we could seize his spirit ground, which would not be an empty gain. In any case, let's find his tracks first! Even if he does summon Heaven's Augury Pillars, if we cannot kill him this time, there will be a next!"

The three said no more, each silently recovering.

When daylight came, they set off again, searching towards the southeast.

A moment later, above Sky Valley, three streaks of light streaked through the sky—it was Tan Sheng and his companions. The three pairs of eyes scanned left and right. However, because a concealing Formation shrouded the area, in their view, it was merely a valley with beautiful scenery, nothing special.

Of course, that was mainly because none of the three were versed in the Array Path; otherwise, they would have noticed something amiss.

Just as the three were about to leave, Xia Liang suddenly came to a halt, his gaze intently scanning below.

The originally empty valley below now had a demon wolf appearing out of nowhere. From the looks of it, it was a young cub that had not yet matured.

Noticing Xia Liang's odd behavior, Tan Sheng and Wei Que also hurriedly stopped.

"Brother Xia?" Tan Sheng looked over in confusion.

Xia Liang said nothing, but with his Ocular Power at full, he continued to observe closely.

At that moment, the space not far from the wolf cub twisted and waves visible to the naked eye appeared. Then, a majestic demon wolf appeared out of thin air, walked over to the cub, and bit down on its neck. Ignoring the cub's resistance, it took the cub back with it.

The ripples reappeared, and the figure of the demon wolf vanished into thin air.

"A concealing big array!" Tan Sheng called out in a low voice, his eyes revealing a surprised delight.

Xia Liang and Wei Que also became excited.

Wei Que said, "This place has been concealed by a big array, which must be the handiwork of Lu Yiye beyond a doubt. He has set up the spirit ground here!"

This was truly finding something without even searching for it.

They had been searching for traces of Lu Ye nearby all this time but had never found anything. They did not expect that today, by a stroke of luck, they would stumble upon the traces of the big array.

Lu Ye never expected that the Formation he had set up would be exposed because of a playful young wolf cub, especially since he had no idea that Tan Sheng and his companions were searching for him.

When he was being tracked by the tracking disc, he could sense it when they were near, but now he had no clue at all.

That severely handicapped version of the tracking disc had a far lower effect compared to the real thing, hence it did not alert Lu Ye, which could be seen as having its pros and cons.

Having determined that this might be where Lu Ye was hiding, the three hesitated no longer. Xia Liang raised his saber, Wei Que summoned his magic and spells, and Tan Sheng also brought out his Spiritual Artifact.

Three Cloud River Level 9 experts acted together, launching an attack towards the valley below.

The violent surge of magic and spells roiled, and the vast saber light swept through.

Tan Sheng bellowed with righteous fury, his voice echoed through the heavens: "Lu Yiye, come out and meet your death!"

Along with his roar, thunderous noises erupted. On the outskirts of the spirit ground, a tangible light screen suddenly appeared, blocking the oncoming attacks and creating ripples upon ripples.
