Even though Lightning, who was previously responsible for overall coordination, is gone, and the various galactic pirate groups have become a band of disorganized rabble, given the situation, Black Cloud's hope of turning the tables is still slim.

If left unchecked, Black Cloud will surely be killed to the last man here.

Therefore, Lu Ye only considered briefly before speaking: "Join with me in battle to escort Black Cloud off the field!"

Zi Xiao was immediately shocked: "What?"

Many of the galactic pirates behind him also looked at Lu Ye with incredulity, each one harboring a huge question in their hearts: Aren't we galactic pirates?

Escorting Black Cloud off the field... what does that mean?

However, in the next moment, Zi Xiao showed a look of understanding, and his expression became increasingly admiring as he looked at Lu Ye: "I understand, I swear to follow the leader until death!"

A group of galactic pirates followed suit with high cries: "We swear to follow the leader until death!"

Where else could you find such a powerful leader? So no matter what difficult-to-understand decisions the leader made, they would not harbor any heart of disobedience.

Lu Ye couldn't help but glance at Zi Xiao: "What have you understood?"

Zi Xiao exclaimed excitedly: "Doesn't the leader want to claim all the benefits for himself? We will first escort Black Cloud off the field, and then..." He gestured with a hand-chopping movement.

This is undoubtedly the mindset of an old galactic pirate. So many galactic pirate groups joining hands, even if they managed to capture Black Cloud, how much benefit could be divided?

But if one claims all the benefits for themselves, that's different; they would surely become fattened with riches! The leader truly lives up to his name, with great skill and courage!

Lu Ye's eyes flickered, but he did not explain.

He certainly didn't intend to keep all the benefits for himself!

Indeed, the mission this time given by the Asura Field was to join forces with other galactic pirate groups in pursuit of the Black Cloud fleet and eliminate all Black Cloud cultivators.

Such a practice fight was indeed not considered difficult for him; viewing its various trials, the biggest difficulty was his own second-in-command colluding with Qin Ru's mother and daughter's scheming, which, had it not been for his Talent Tree, might have really caught him off guard.

This also matched the information he learned from Chen Xuanhai; cultivators on their first practice fight wouldn't encounter tasks that were too difficult.

But even if it's just a practice fight, Lu Ye does not wish to commit evil acts.

He had been contemplating throughout the journey on how to act.

Until Lightning made the first move, and he retaliated...

Now that he has driven Lightning away and killed many galactic pirates, he simply sees it through to the end.

Punish the wicked and support the weak and helpless, such is the cultivator's duty without question!

As for the second-in-command's misunderstanding, let him be mistaken; it doesn't affect anything.

After watching the situation for some time, the Nine Heavens Galactic Pirates Group finally entered the battlefield. Outside of their damaged main battleship, numerous Tiger Sharks circle around, advancing towards the direction of the battlefield.

The conflict between Lightning and Nine Heavens was actually not noticed by the galactic pirate groups because they had been besieging the Black Cloud fleet, without time to consider other matters.

But Lightning fled, and with no new orders coming in, the various galactic pirate groups became puzzled, wanting to contact Lightning, yet unable to reach him.

This led to Nine Heavens' entrance being extraordinarily simple, as the galactic pirate groups did not treat Nine Heavens as outsiders, and willingly opened a gap in their encirclement, allowing Nine Heavens' battleships to smoothly slip in.

Urgently, an unforeseen change erupted suddenly without any warning; battleships from the Nine Heavens Galactic Pirates Group began to launch ferocious attacks outward in all directions, catching nearby galactic pirate ships oblivious and unprepared, falling victim to their misfortune.

Lu Ye led his own pirate group forward at the front, crushing everything in its path, tearing a massive opening in the chaotic battlefield.

At the center of the encirclement, on the deck of a gigantic battleship, a charmingly beautiful woman stood by the ship rail, her eyes anxiously scanning the battle surrounding her.

She felt like she had the worst luck for eight lifetimes, being only at the Constellation Realm yet tossed into such a practice fight scenario, with her identity being Black Cloud Sect's successor!

The task of this practice fight requires being escorted by Black Cloud cultivators to escape to a neighboring Star System.

Normally, the practice fight in Asura Field matches your cultivation level with the appropriate scene; her cultivation at the Constellation level would normally enter scenes that are manageable by a Constellation.

She had heard before that some unfortunate individuals could be put into scenes they couldn't handle.

But she never expected herself to become such an unfortunate person one day! Because the probability of such occurrences is extremely low.

Viewed across this vast battlefield, what can a mere Constellation do? She could only daze idly here, completely powerless to alter her fate. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Panic-stricken inside, because since the start of the escape, Black Cloud fleet's power has been gradually weakened, and at this moment, they are surrounded here, unable to advance.

Each of the galactic pirate groups was like sharks smelling blood, attacking from every direction, suppressing her spirits.

Even so, she was searching for that ray of hope.

Because she knew, Asura Field couldn't assign her a dead end; the scenarios of Asura Field are meant for practice, and if they're certain death, it would lose the essence of what practice is truly about.

She still held some hope, perhaps for cultivators from adjacent star systems to receive the news and come to her aid, or perhaps for the secret instructions the Black Cloud Sect Master had given her before his death to be verified.

This time, her identity for training was as the successor of the Black Cloud Sect, and the deceased Black Cloud Sect Master was her father in name. A father's earnest instructions to his daughter before his death are naturally trustworthy and worth anticipating.

But she had never seen that sliver of light.

Until now, an unusual commotion suddenly emerged in the noisy battlefield. She hurriedly turned her head to look in that direction, but unfortunately, due to her lack of strength and the overwhelming chaos of the battlefield, she couldn't see clearly. She could only ask, "Elder Lan, what's happening over there?"

Behind her stood a valiant woman holding a sword, wearing a half-mask that covered half of her face. She was Elder Lan in the bewitching woman's words and the second strongest individual on Black Cloud Continent, who had stayed by the bewitching woman's side without leaving since the start of their escape.

Elder Lan also noticed the commotion over there, focused her eyes to have a look, and frowned, "There seems to be infighting within the galactic pirate group; one group is attacking their own companions and moving towards us!"

The bewitching woman's beautiful eyes brightened at the news: "Which galactic pirate group?"

Elder Lan looked again and then said, "It seems to be the Nine Heavens Galactic Pirates Group."

The host battleship of the Nine Heavens Galactic Pirates Group had the two large words 'Nine Heavens' engraved on it, which she naturally recognized.

"Nine Heavens..." The bewitching woman felt it sounded familiar, as if she had heard of it somewhere, but she had no time to ponder deeply and quickly said, "Quickly let them come over."

Elder Lan was stunned: "Young Sect Master, they are galactic pirates!"

The destruction of Black Cloud and their endless escape were caused by these pirates, and Elder Lan hated them profoundly. How could she let them approach voluntarily?

The bewitching woman pondered slightly; her Mental Consciousness surged as she quietly said something to Elder Lan.

Elder Lan's eyes widened with astonishment, looking at the bewitching woman with disbelief: "Little Yaorao, this matter cannot be a joke."

The bewitching woman said, "Father personally told me before his death, how could I joke about it? Elder Lan, whether we can break through this time depends on this single opportunity!"

The sliver of light she had been painstakingly waiting for had finally arrived! Indeed, the training in the Asura Field wasn't a dead end.

When Elder Lan heard it was the old Sect Master's last words, she finally nodded and took out an audio talisman to transmit the order.

In the direction of the Nine Heavens Galactic Pirates Group, Lu Ye was making his way over, initially thinking it would be difficult to approach the Black Cloud fleet. But to his surprise, as Nine Heavens approached, the Black Cloud side actually seemed to have the intention of accepting him.

This puzzled him, leaving him unsure of Black Cloud's intentions.

But in any case, this was favorable for him, so he continued to advance swiftly until he saw a gigantic battleship and then flashed his way over.

Since he intended to cooperate with Black Cloud to escort them in a breakout, Lu Ye naturally had to find the person in charge here to state his stance. The fact that he took the initiative to kill the star pirate just now was a demonstration of his sincerity, and Black Cloud must have noticed it; otherwise, they wouldn't proactively accept him.

Landing on the spacious deck, Lu Ye immediately sensed several Moon Jade auras and Mental Consciousness locking onto him.

He glanced around and saw a masked woman holding a sword. Her aura was strong, undoubtedly at the Moon Jade Late Stage level.

This female sword cultivator wore a guarded expression. Although she hadn't personally exchanged blows with Lu Ye, she could tell just from his powerful and invincible stance earlier that Lu Ye's strength was undoubtedly on par with hers.

Their eyes met, and Lu Ye nodded slightly, just as he was about to ask her identity when he heard someone behind the female sword cultivator make a sound of surprise.

Lu Ye looked over, and upon seeing that charismatic face, he was startled.

Because he realized he knew this woman, and they had once cooperated before.

Yet, after all these years, there had been no contact between them, and he hadn't expected to meet her here, what a twist of fate.

Compared to back then, the woman hadn't changed much except for a noticeable increase in her cultivation.

If they were outside, they would naturally recognize each other immediately, but here, in the training scene of the Asura Field, it was better to refrain from actions that didn't fit their current identities.

So Lu Ye merely nodded to her slightly and said calmly, "Lu Ye of Nine Heavens, who here is in charge?"

The bewitching woman stepped out from behind Elder Lan, a smile on her face: "Black Cloud's Young Sect Master, Yuk Yaorao."

"Young Sect Master, be careful!" Elder Lan still maintained her vigilance, raising her hand to hold Yuk Yaorao back.

Yuk Yaorao slowly shook her head, full of confidence: "It's okay, he... won't harm me."

Elder Lan's eyes flickered, remembering the words Yuk Yaorao had transmitted to her just now, and she understood the situation in her heart.

Lu Ye felt somewhat amused and relieved. Seeing Yuk Yaorao, he had his suspicions; who would have thought she truly was the successor of Black Cloud?

He secretly felt grateful that he had chosen to switch sides; otherwise, if he had fought all the way here and saw Yuk Yaorao, would he attack or not?

Attacking was out of the question; they knew each other, and back on the Reincarnation Tree, Yuk Yaorao had helped him quite a bit.

But if he didn't attack, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.

Now, there was no such worry.
