Sage of Humanity-Chapter 712 - 710: What Formation is This?

The power of the Formation at Medicine Valley was far greater than that of the Great Reversal Valley on the Cloud River battlefield.

For one, Lu Ye's proficiency in the Array Path had improved immensely since then, and furthermore, Medicine Valley had an Earth Vein, enhancing the formations he set up within the valley by aligning with the Earth Vein's trends, adding to the Formation's might.

There was no such convenience at Great Reversal Valley.

Under Wu Xie's lead, many Sky Ravine Sect cultivators plunged into Medicine Valley and vanished, leaving only the massive, churning fog sea in sight, which was unpredictable and ever-changing.

Anyone could sense the chilling killing intent from the fog sea.

"A formation," Yun Haitian's expression changed dramatically, not expecting such an astonishing big array to exist in Medicine Valley.

The Sky Ravine Sect and Medicine Valley both lay within Xuezhou, so naturally, there was frequent interaction between them. Several Sky Ravine Sect cultivators had also come to Medicine Valley seeking medical help in the past, and Little Miracle Healer was known for not turning anyone away regardless of their status.

But no one knew that such a powerful Formation was laid out within Medicine Valley.

Merely the might of this big array was enough to provoke a sense of trepidation in anyone. If one were to fall into the Formation, how could they survive?

"Break the array!" Yun Haitian shouted loudly.

In the next instant, many Sky Ravine Sect cultivators under his command simultaneously attacked the rolling fog sea.

In this world, no matter the formation, it could always be broken by force since these people were not array cultivators and could only resort to such barbaric methods.

As for whether they could actually break through the big array, they were still very confident. The pursuing Sky Ravine Sect cultivators amounted to over a hundred, including more than a dozen elders. With such forces combined, only the Sect Protection Arrays of the Three Great Overlord Sects around the world could possibly stop them.

In front of the thatched hut within the Formation, Huang Liang, severely injured, was also stunned. He thought his unintentional act would involve these people, yet in the blink of an eye, such a change occurred.

"Who are you?" Huang Liang asked in shock.

Recalling the seemingly young man, how could Huang Liang not know that the big array was his doing? But when had such a powerful array cultivator ever emerged in this world?

He was the Sect Master of Imperial Heaven Sect, after all. What big event or remarkable person in this world could there be that he was unaware of?

Zhuang Bufan coughed lightly and responded, "We're just a group of people here to seek medical help. Elder Huang, there's no need for concern."

He wanted to make an acquaintance with Lu Ye, so he informed him using his true name, but the name of Legendary Thief was ultimately not very honorable. Facing the Sect Master of Imperial Heaven Sect, Zhuang Bufan still concealed some caution.

"Sect Master Huang is seriously injured and would be wise not to dwell too much on other thoughts," a soft voice said as Little Miracle Healer approached.

Huang Liang paid his respects, "Fellow Daoist, I have seen." Huang Liang greatly admired the renowned Little Miracle Healer, who over the years had treated thousands of cultivators. If there was anyone in the world that even the most malevolent cultivators would neither wish to harm nor dare to, it was Little Miracle Healer.

Little Miracle Healer returned the gesture, glancing at him, "Sect Master Huang's injuries are severe and need to be treated as soon as possible."

Huang Liang remained somewhat worried, "But what about that young friend, he..."

When the Formation changed, Lu Ye disappeared, and Huang Liang knew what he was doing—evidently, he was in the Formation, barring the enemies. Huang Liang didn't know the extent of Lu Ye's strength, but considering his age, how strong could he possibly be?

He feared that Lu Ye in trying to eliminate evil might instead be harmed himself, prompting him to want to assist. But with the Formation's changes, he dared not risk entering it recklessly.

Yiyi spoke up from the side, "Concerning... Ye Liu, there's no problem, and what can you do in your current condition, Elder?"

Right? What could he do in his current state? Any of the Sky Ravine Sect elders could easily kill him.

With this thought in mind, Huang Liang sighed deeply, "After all, I have involved everyone."

Little Miracle Healer said, "Sky Ravine Sect causing trouble in Xuezhou makes it inevitable for Medicine Valley to be involved. Sect Master Huang's arrival here, although coincidental, isn't it also a twist of fate?"

Huang Liang pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Fellow Daoist is right, then please take care of me."

Sitting cross-legged, relaxing his mind and body, Little Miracle Healer stepped forward to treat his injuries.

"Sister-in-law, Brother Ye Liu really won't be in any trouble, right?" Ye Liuli asked softly beside Yiyi.

Although she and Brother Ye Liu were kin, during these days of interaction, she found that she didn't quite understand him, whereas it seemed like her sister-in-law and Brother Ye Liu had a perfect understanding, often just through a look or a simple word, they could know what the other was thinking.

Even though Ye Liuli's address had been corrected, it was clear she had already recognized her as a sister-in-law, and Yiyi helplessly responded, "Of course, there's no problem. Your Brother Ye Liu is much stronger than you think."

Ye Liuli nodded her head, relieved by her sister-in-law's reassurance.

The fog sea churned, with ripples occasionally emanating from both its depths and exterior—the deeper ripples clearly caused by Lu Ye combating enemies, while those on the outside resulted from the Sky Ravine Sect cultivators' forceful attacks on the Formation.

However, by comparison, the activity outside was considerably louder given the number of Sky Ravine Sect personnel involved.

But the rolling fog sea remained steadfast as ever, unbreakable and consistent, offering immense reassurance.

"What kind of Formation is this?!" At the entrance of Medicine Valley, Yun Haitian's expression was grim, the strength and eeriness of the big array before him far exceeding his expectations. Although he was a long-renowned figure and had stirred up major troubles in the Soaring Dragon World before joining the Sky Ravine Sect, witnessing scenes beyond count, yet this big array gave him a profound sense of immovability.

Could such a Formation even be devised by humans?

The person who set up this formation must be an extraordinary talent. If he cannot be utilized, then he must be completely eradicated, otherwise he will become a major threat.

As the thought arose, so did the desire to kill. He refused to believe that so many Sky Ravine Sect cultivators could not break a single formation.

The roiling fog in front suddenly surged more violently as if something were about to break through.

A group of Sky Ravine Sect cultivators immediately became alert.

Sure enough, suddenly something broke through the fog, and a quick-reacting Sky Ravine Sect cultivator cast a magic spell. In an instant, a mist of blood permeated the air, narrowly avoiding destruction.

"This is..." Many Sky Ravine Sect cultivators were shocked. Only at that moment did they realize that what had flown out from the fog was actually a corpse.

And by its attire and appearance...

"Elder Seventeen!" exclaimed a Sky Ravine Sect cultivator in horror.

Yun Haitian's expression also darkened as if it could drip water.

The one who had broken through the fog was none other than their own Elder Seventeen. He could see clearly that Elder Seventeen was already lifeless before appearing with numerous wounds on his body. It appeared to be caused by the formation, but the truly fatal wound was a single stab through the heart.

He did not know what happened within the fog, but from this single corpse, he could already infer many things.

Elder Seventeen fell into the big array and was wounded by numerous formations. Moreover, there was a thief hidden in the dark, who seized the opportunity to kill the unguarded Elder Seventeen with a single stab!

It was the same lad who made Wu Xie suffer a loss!

The changes in this big array were also his doing.

It was surprising enough that he could make Wu Xie take a loss, but now even Elder Seventeen had perished at his hands. Such an incident was astonishing.

The Sky Ravine Sect had maintained its presence in Xuezhou for many years, and aside from a battle with Fa Hua Liu Tianyi previously where they lost a few elders, there had never been a precedent of an elder dying in battle.

But today, that precedent was set.

And he died at the hands of an unknown lad!

Yun Haitian's anger flared like flames, but before he could act, the fog ahead rolled violently again.

Subsequently, figures flew out from the fog like rag dolls, falling to the ground like dead dogs...

"Elder Twenty-Three, Elder Thirty-Six, and Elder Wu Xie..."

A group of Sky Ravine Sect disciples and elders were stunned, staring blankly at the many corpses before them.

As many people who dashed in earlier had now died, the strongest among them, Wu Xie, even failed to escape. Before his death, he must have witnessed something extremely shocking, his eyes wide open in a stare of disbelief.

The fog still rolled silently and without a trace.

However, all the Sky Ravine Sect cultivators, including those disciples and elders, involuntarily retreated several feet. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

Looking at the fog ahead, the unknown depths seemed to harbor an ancient ferocious beast that devoured humans, causing anyone who entered it to meet a violent death.

The scene was instantly chilling, sending shivers down everyone's spine, their skin turning cold.

After a long while, an elder spoke, "Elder Ye Liu, what should we do now?"

All of these people were merely chasing Huang Liang. Fa Hua and Liu Tianyi were already dead, and they could not let Huang Liang escape. He was not only one of the strongest Level 9 cultivators under heaven but also the Sect Master of the Imperial Heaven Sect. With Li Sa having passed away, eliminating Huang Liang would undoubtedly throw the Imperial Heaven Sect into disarray, benefitting the Sky Ravine Sect greatly.

But in pursuing him here, they had run into fierce resistance.

An area led by the Medicine Valley, known for saving and helping the wounded, had turned into a perilous land; the irony was bitter.

Even someone as seasoned as Yun Haitian felt somewhat at a loss at this moment.

To retreat now would be difficult to accept. Having already lost so many people, including several elders, withdrawing like this would not only leave him dissatisfied but would also be unacceptable to the Sect Hierarch Celestial Saint.

But such a perilous land was beyond their capacity to resolve.

Call for reinforcements? But the Sect Hierarch was busy with important matters. Even if they asked for help, how much support could they really expect?

Yun Haitian was momentarily at a loss.

In front of the straw hut, Lu Ye stepped out from the fog. The fluctuations of his unstable spirit force rapidly calmed down, leaving him completely unharmed.

With his current strength, and aided by the big array he had laid down in the Medicine Valley, a group of oblivious Sky Ravine Sect cultivators posed no threat in his eyes.

If they dared to enter, Lu Ye could kill them. Even a strong figure like Wu Xie had no chance within his formation and was easily slaughtered by his few slashes.

Huang Liang, currently receiving treatment from Little Miracle Healer, looked at Lu Ye as he reappeared and said, "Young friend, keep calm. Once my injuries are slightly healed, I'll assist you in eliminating our enemies."
