Sage of Humanity-Chapter 711 - 709: Down-and-out Huang Liang

Lu Ye initially thought that after Wu Xie retreated, there would surely be some movements from the Sky Ravine Sect, but to his surprise, the past few days had been calm, not even a shadow of a Sky Ravine Sect cultivator had been seen.

Until this moment.

Suddenly, the atmosphere changed dramatically. Even within Medicine Valley, Lu Ye could feel the oppressive sensation of the sky and earth tipping over. Standing mid-air, he looked up and frowned deeply.

He did not know what exactly had happened on Sky Ravine's end, but just from observing this phenomenon, he could tell that something significant must have occurred there.

It appeared his earlier thoughts were correct, his arrival in the Soaring Dragon World at this time coincided with some major events that were bound to affect the entire domain.

Just like the last time in the secret realm of Ten Thousand Beasts Domain, under the beast tide, the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain was on the brink of peril.

As he was observing, suddenly, a speck of golden light struck him with the speed of lightning, so fast that he had no time to react, and the light hit him squarely.

His body shook violently, he was not injured; the golden light merged into him after hitting him.

In the depths of his being, it felt like something had descended upon him.

This sensation... Lu Ye's expression was one of shock and uncertainty.

It was the same feeling he had when he was favored by Heaven's Augury during his times at the Spirit Stream battlefield and the Cloud River battlefield.

Those who received Heaven's Augury's favor were blessed with good fortune, which was why he often encountered chances during his training at the Spirit Stream and Cloud River battlefields that ordinary people seldom came across, all thanks to the mysteries of fortune.

Although there were times when his luck was not so good, he had ultimately managed to turn dangers into safety.

He had not expected that he could also receive Heaven's Augury's favor in this secret realm.

This secret realm was essentially a domain itself, and the Heaven's Augury at this place was not the same as that in the Nine Provinces; the favor he received now should only be limited to this particular domain, unrelated to the Nine Provinces.

What had happened? Lu Ye was completely baffled.

But combining what he had seen from Sky Ravine's phenomenon, he could vaguely sense that without his knowledge, Soaring Dragon World was about to undergo significant changes.

He swiftly sped up his actions.

Whatever changes were to come, the arrangements he had made over the past few days might play some role.

He secretly felt fortunate that he hadn't left Medicine Valley too early; otherwise, he might have been caught up in some disturbances now.

In front of the thatched hut in the middle of Medicine Valley, Little Miracle Healer, bearing Hua Ci's face, also looked toward the far north, sighing softly, "What was meant to come has finally arrived."

...

Aboard the spirit ark, Huang Liang's expression was sorrowful, coughing up blood from time to time.

Behind him, a large group of luminous beings were pursuing him, all of them elder-level powerhouses of the Sky Ravine Sect.

In the previous battle, Monk Fa Hua and Liu Tianyi had both fallen, and although he was ready to die, those two seniors, in their final moments, had used their last breath to open a path of escape for him.

There were no spoken farewells, but Huang Liang discerned the profound intentions of the two.

He was not the bearer of this world's fortune, so there was no need for him to die there, especially at this crucial point when the Soaring Dragon cultivation world indeed needed a powerhouse who knew the ins and outs of the Sky Ravine Sect to lead the cultivators in exterminating demons and eliminating monsters.

Therefore, the value of his survival was much greater than dying there.

Suppressing the sorrow in his heart, Huang Liang continued fleeing, but with his severe injuries and the incessant pursuit and blockade of many Sky Ravine Sect powerhouses, he felt he could no longer hold on.

Off in the distance, his vision suddenly caught sight of a lush, verdant valley.

This was...

After a moment of contemplation, Huang Liang realized where he was.

In the entire Xuezhou, only the famous Medicine Valley possessed such beautiful scenery.

This is bad!

He had been pursued and had fled randomly without a set direction, but he never expected to end up near Medicine Valley.

If there were no pursuers behind him, he naturally could seek medical help in Medicine Valley, for the injuries he had would be easily healed by Little Miracle Healer.

But now, with so many pursuers behind him, leading them to Medicine Valley would likely bring disaster upon Little Miracle Healer.

He couldn't stay here. As this thought crossed his mind, before he could change direction, a furious shout came from behind: "Old dog, die!"

An unstoppable force struck him from behind, making Huang Liang feel as if he had been hit by a huge mountain; his body uncontrollably flew forward and plunged directly into Medicine Valley, spitting blood mid-air. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

He hit the ground hard and scrambled up, only to see a young man with a calm expression, two young women, and another man sitting on a chair with a pale face.

Several pairs of eyes looked at him, and Huang Liang cried out, "Run! The fierce men of Sky Ravine Sect are coming!"

"Huang Liang?" Zhuang Bufan, sitting in the sun, looked at the battered Huang Liang in astonishment, never expecting that one day, the Sect Master of Imperial Heaven Sect would end up so embarrassed.

The Sect Master of the Imperial Heaven Sect is actually being hunted down! What has happened?

Moreover, from Huang Liang's shouting just now, the pursuers are from the Sky Ravine Sect.

"Senior, did you get the message and come to investigate?" Zhuang Bufan asked.

He had previously asked a few friends to send messages to the Three Great Overlord Sects, informing them of what happened in Xuezhou, but he didn't know how they would handle the situation.

Seeing Huang Liang now naturally led him to make some assumptions.

But what he didn't know was that Huang Liang's presence here had nothing to do with the message he sent, and the situation in Xuezhou was much more severe than he imagined.

Huang Liang, clutching his chest and staggering, didn't have time to explain anything, but shouted lowly, "Hurry, move! If we don't leave now, it will be too late."

"Thinking of leaving!" From the direction of the valley entrance, multiple figures stood suspend in mid-air, a beefy guy holding a spiritual artifact resembling a Wolf Fang Club smirked continuously, "No one can escape."

Zhuang Bufan was stunned, "Yun Haitian!"

This man was the sixth elder of the Sky Ravine Sect, why would he appear here? It was only then that he realized, much too late, that the group pursuing Huang Liang were all from Level 9, including Wu Xie who had previously suffered losses at the hands of Lu Ye.

Had Huang Liang stirred up trouble with the Sky Ravine Sect? Why else would so many Level 9 cultivators come?

Each person here had once had a formidable reputation. Now, suddenly, more than a dozen had come, accompanied by a large number of Sky Ravine Sect cultivators. Not to mention that Huang Liang was gravely injured, even in his prime, he couldn't have been a match.

"Wu Xie, I heard you suffered losses near Medicine Valley? Was it a kid who did it? Who was it?" someone asked teasingly, with a mocking expression as his gaze swept over Lu Ye and the others, not paying them much attention.

Though he disapproved of Wu Xie, he acknowledged Wu Xie's strength; Lu Ye and his companions didn't look capable of such a feat.

But Wu Xie's expression seemed quite off, he was staring intently at Lu Ye, his eyes filled with hatred.

"Is it this kid?" the previous speaker was astonished, "It can't be, right? This kid is the one who hurt you? You are our ninth elder after all, how could this be?"

Wu Xie snorted coldly, offering no defense.

That day he had retreated, partly because Lu Ye exhibited strengths that he dreaded, and partly because he had been poisoned, unaware of the poison's nature at the time—how could he have stayed?

Afterward, when he confirmed the poison wasn't severe and thought of coming back for revenge, it was too late. Following the Celestial Saint's order, he and others had been lying in ambush in the Blood River, planning to ambush Monk Fahua and Liu Tianyi.

Unexpectedly, after all the twists and turns, he had returned here again.

He vowed to personally return the shame of that day, today he must kill that boy.

"Stay out of this!" Wu Xie spoke, stepping forward, clearly intending to fight Lu Ye one-on-one.

"All right, the night grows long with many dreams, delaying the sect hierarch's important matters is something none of us can afford, let's bring a few more," the beefy sixth elder, Yun Haitian, declared.

The shocking battle beneath Sky Ravine saw both Monk Fahua and Liu Tianyi killed, but also several elders of the Sky Ravine Sect were killed, many were injured; these men were fortunate to not have been injured, hence they all came out for this chase.

Given the strength of the two, coupled with Huang Liang, despite being ambushed by the Sky Ravine Sect, their performance was remarkable, showing just how terrifying the strength of Monk Fahua and Liu Tianyi was.

Those two, imbued with the Heavenly destiny, were, to some extent, comparable to the True Lake Realm.

As Yun Haitian spoke, although Wu Xie was reluctant, he had to follow orders.

Immediately, several people leaped out, their figures flickering as they rushed towards Lu Ye and the others.

"Damn!" Huang Liang gritted his teeth, he hadn't expected that even on the brink of death, he would drag Medicine Valley into this. Now it was clearly too late to think of escaping, and given his current state, he definitely couldn't withstand the attack of the Sky Ravine Sect elders.

His only hope was that the Sky Ravine Sect would not wipe them out completely, at least hoping that Little Miracle Healer's life could be spared.

But before that, even if it meant his death, he was determined to fight off one of them.

As he thought this, the unremarkable-looking young man standing beside him suddenly stepped forward. With this step, the heavens and the earth transformed.

Everyone's vision began to appear strange.

Although Lu Ye and the others were not too far from them, the Sky Ravine Sect elders rushing towards them suddenly felt as if the space between them had been infinitely stretched, creating an illusion.

No matter how they soared through the air, they just couldn't get closer to Lu Ye and the others.

Lu Ye stepped down again, the scenery around changed once more, mist rolled out, and illusions thrived, instantly, those who had rushed into the valley were disoriented and separated from one another.

"Huh?" Huang Liang was shocked and suddenly turned his head to look at Lu Ye.

What kind of divine technique was this? Even with his status as the Sect Master of the Imperial Heaven Sect, it was unheard of, unseen.

"Formation!" From the direction of the valley entrance, Yun Haitian's face also changed color. Although he had the physique of a beefy guy, he was actually a man of meticulous and profound thoughts, otherwise, he wouldn't be ranked the sixth among the elders.

The sudden change in Medicine Valley made him realize the root cause, this place had been set with an extremely clever big array.

In front of him now, the thatched huts in the valley had disappeared, as had the figures of those people, and even the Sky Ravine Sect elders who had rushed in vanished like a clay ox entering the sea. All that could be seen were rolling clouds.
