Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1797 - 1795: Finally Accomplished
After learning that the Sacred Blood Summit sent troops to Black Prison Cliff, Lu Ye immediately left with Xiang Yin and the others.
It's not because he was afraid. According to the information he received, the Sacred Blood Summit dispatched nearly twenty people to target Black Prison Cliff, all at the Moon Jade Realm.
The number is indeed significantly more than their side, but if it really comes to a fight, the ones at a disadvantage would be the Sacred Blood Summit. After all, the suppression of saintliness is something these first-generation of the Blood Race cannot ignore. Not to mention himself, even Xiang Yin and the others now significantly exceed the enemy in saintliness.
Even so, Lu Ye still wasn't confident in completely wiping out this batch of invaders! After all, they're all at the Moon Jade, who knows what mysterious means they might have?
And once his own intelligence is exposed, it will definitely attract Lih Tian's attention, which would be detrimental to his subsequent plans and might even prompt Lih Tian to take action personally.
In his plan, before truly confronting Lih Tian, his saintliness must be an absolute secret, so as to catch Lih Tian off guard.
Indeed, the Sacred Blood Summit knows, because of Xiang Yin's earlier disclosure, that his saintliness is quite potent. But how potent exactly, they are not clear, as they haven't truly felt it and can't imagine it.
Engaging with Lih Tian at this time is not what Lu Ye wants, because even if he defeats Lih Tian by leveraging the suppression of saintliness, there would be no way to completely eliminate him.
The battle in Black Abyss six months later is a very good option; Black Abyss is the battlefield he has chosen.
With all these considerations, Lu Ye abandoned Black Prison Cliff, led his subordinates to a new location, and incidentally did a favor to the Red Talisman Society, letting them know that he could be a cooperative partner.
Sun Blaze is undoubtedly very strong. Without having actually fought yet, Lu Ye doesn't know if he is a match for Lih Tian. If he can cooperate with the Red Talisman Society, it would undoubtedly increase his chances of winning.
The Blood Sea surged forward, enveloping all of their cultivators. Lu Ye soon received a communication from Hu Dequan, which contained nothing but a location where they could hide.
For years, the Red Talisman Society has been waging an intellectual and tactical struggle against the Sacred Blood Summit. Even though their overt strength is far inferior, they've never been completely eradicated, mainly relying on their ability to hide.
It can be said that in this world, the Red Talisman Society has countless hidden bases, one of which Hu Dequan disclosed to Lu Ye, partly as a gesture of goodwill to return the favor for Lu Ye's earlier warning, and partly, perhaps, as a test.
Lu Ye repeatedly claimed he could be a cooperative partner. If so, giving him a place to hide, if he dares to go, would indicate a genuine intent to cooperate. If he doesn't dare, then he must be up to something.
Lu Ye had nothing to fear...
He was just troubled about where to hide when he received the message. He promptly replied with a thank you and led his people toward the location of the base.
The sky was clearing, and the Blood Moon showed signs of appearing.
At the same time, the cultivators of the Red Talisman Society were also urgently withdrawing. Although they weren't sure if the information provided by Lu Ye was credible, in such matters, it's better to be safe than sorry, especially since Lu Ye had already found that base.
Of course, after retreating, Hu Dequan and others remained hidden at a distance to observe the situation.
After two days, a large number of cultivators from the Sacred Blood Summit indeed found the place and started bombarding indiscriminately...
Hu Dequan and the others watched with twitching eyelids, secretly grateful for Lu Ye's warning. Otherwise, the Red Talisman Society would have suffered severe damage, if not obliteration, and would have had no way to resist in the Black Abyss confrontation six months later.
At this moment, Lu Ye was in a valley, gazing at the Blood Moon, exploring its mysteries.
Since arriving in the Core World, Lu Ye would exit seclusion to observe only when the Blood Moon was in the sky; at other times, he focused on refining his treasure blood.
This was already the third time the Blood Moon appeared, and the progress on the Blood Eye Spirit Runes was promising. Lu Ye estimated that with two more occurrences, he should be able to perfect it.
According to the current pattern of the Blood Moon's appearance, there are certainly two opportunities within six months, though unexpected situations could arise.
But Lu Ye was powerless to influence the timing of the Blood Moon; he could only wait.
In the meantime, the Red Talisman Society went completely dormant.
Having lost their foundational base and the carefully cultivated Spirit Plants, they were now without resources. Although Lu Ye had previously given them a batch, it wouldn't last long.
Thus, the Red Talisman Society felt urgency to decisively confront the Sacred Blood Summit in the next Black Abyss confrontation. Missing this opportunity would only make their situation more difficult in the future.
Driven by this urgent mentality, the Red Talisman Society began to actively and frequently communicate with Lu Ye.
Based on past events, they could confirm Lu Ye's stance against the Sacred Blood Summit. Moreover, given the urgency of time, they had no choice but to join forces with him.
This was precisely what Lu Ye wished for.
Upon arriving in this realm, his initial intention was to join the Red Talisman Society and combat the Sacred Blood Summit alongside them, but some setbacks had prevented this.
He understood Hu Dequan and the others' choices at the time and did not harbor resentment, as he couldn't explain the secret of the Talent Tree. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖
Although the process had been somewhat convoluted, the result was still satisfactory.
In this light, his strategy of gathering independent cultivators was correct because without this force, the Red Talisman Society might not have paid attention to him.
The biggest gain Lu Ye received from the Red Talisman Society was all kinds of intelligence about the Black Abyss rivalry. The more he understood this matter, the more he was convinced that choosing Black Abyss as the battlefield against Lih Tian was a wise decision.
In the secret area of the outpost, Lu Ye was refining his own treasure blood when the audio talisman suddenly vibrated. He took it out to check, thinking it was Hu Dequan contacting him. Recently, their relationship had been steadily increasing; after setting aside inherent prejudices, Hu Dequan found Lu Ye worthy of a deep acquaintance, so he frequently messaged him to discuss various matters.
The relationship between the two groups was currently very close, almost to the point of staying together. However, there were still occasional personnel exchanges, and they got along well.
After checking the audio talisman, he realized it wasn't Hu Dequan contacting him, but rather the ghost cultivator, Zhou Tianbao!
"Master, I've been exposed. I will fight to the death, but please be cautious. Lih Tian has been in seclusion practicing a secret technique recently and seems to have achieved some minor success now!"
After checking the message in the audio talisman, Lu Ye lowered his gaze slightly.
Zhou Tianbao's exposure was something he had anticipated.
Since gathering many independent cultivators, he had been targeting Sacred Blood Summit in various ways, destroying several squads sent by Sacred Blood Summit to perform missions. Previously, Sacred Blood Summit had come up empty when besieging the Red Talisman Society and Black Prison Cliff.
If the cultivators at Sacred Blood Summit weren't fools, they could surely infer they had a problem internally; otherwise, the enemy couldn't have known to relocate ahead.
After realizing they had an internal problem, Sacred Blood Summit would certainly conduct a self-check. Once that happens, Zhou Tianbao would inevitably be exposed sooner or later.
During this period, all the intelligence from Sacred Blood Summit was revealed by him, follow the evidence, and Zhou Tianbao's fate was inevitable.
Lu Ye had previously instructed him to investigate Lih Tian's situation because he was particularly concerned about one issue: Lih Tian had been out of sight for a while, not appearing even when the Red Talisman Society's outpost was under siege.
Zhou Tianbao clearly found out some things. It might be precisely because Lih Tian's secret technique achieved some success that he discovered Zhou Tianbao's betrayal.
A secret technique... Lu Ye immediately thought of the Blood Eye Spirit Runes.
During the Blood Moon, the spirit runes hidden within it weren't a secret. If he could get insights, other cultivators could too. The cultivators at the Red Talisman Society had researched the Blood Moon, vaguely sensing that the mysterious spirit runes hidden within involved a kind of secret technique, but they couldn't figure it out and had to give up.
Regarding observing the spirit runes themselves... The Blood Eye Spirit Runes were too complex. Even the best spirit runes masters would find it unrealistic to construct this spirit rune completely.
If not for Lu Ye's Talent Tree, he wouldn't waste time on it.
The new round of Black Abyss rivalry was approaching; Lih Tian's secret technique having minor success wasn't good news.
When Lu Ye tried to contact Zhou Tianbao again, the audio talisman couldn't transmit messages, indicating that Zhou Tianbao was already dead.
Moreover, through sensing his own Sacred Blood, Lu Ye indeed couldn't detect any trace of Zhou Tianbao, the Blood Servant.
Regretful...
Lu Ye had considered whether to have Zhou Tianbao leave Sacred Blood Summit early, but he didn't do so because Zhou Tianbao wasn't the only spy he had placed there!
Every time Xiang Yin and others went out for missions, he would give them a jade box to carry, instructing them to use it as needed. The jade box contained not other things but the treasure blood he painstakingly refined!
Zhou Tianbao had to die; only his death could make Sacred Blood Summit lower its guard, thereby safeguarding other spies.
After a brief contemplation, Lu Ye sent a message to Hu Dequan, informing him of Lih Tian's emergence from seclusion.
The Red Talisman Society and his own forces needed to hide more thoroughly because, after coming out of seclusion, Lih Tian would certainly take action. If he found any clues, there would inevitably be many casualties.
All lurking was in preparation for the final Black Abyss rivalry.
Lu Ye distributed vast resources, ensuring the cultivators of the Red Talisman Society maintained their strongest power at all times.
Half a year passed in a hurry.
Within the secret room of the outpost, Lu Ye sat cross-legged, eyes closed, while tidal waves of Mental Consciousness continuously surged.
In inner observation, the leaves of the Talent Tree burned fiercely. On some originally blank leaves, many intricately interlocking Yin-Yang Dual Origins emerged. As Mental Consciousness surged, more Yin-Yang Dual Origins began spreading around.
Lu Ye was engraving the Blood Eye Spirit Runes onto the Talent Tree.
After observing the Blood Moon for the third time six months ago, he waited another two months for its next appearance, yet still failed to gain full insight.
After patiently waiting several more months, it wasn't until a few days ago, during the last observation of the Blood Moon, that he finally succeeded!
