Chapter 620: Chapter 294: Three Tasks, A Great Harvest_2

He looked at Lu Yi and said, “Young Master Lu Yi, you take the others and run, I’ll hold off those Jiuyou Demons for a while!”

The two members of the Star Realm Army standing beside him also stood up, their expressions resolute.

As members of the Star Realm Army, it was their fate to die in battle, just like their brothers.

The expressions of the surrounding cultivators changed, some struggling with their decision.

After all, most of them were there on the Jiuyou Battlefield because of their Immortal duty.

Outside, they were all high and mighty Immortals, holding noble statuses.

If they could live, naturally, they didn’t want to die.

Lu Yi smiled and said, “Who said I needed you to hold them off? Since I’ve saved you, I naturally will bring you back to the base safely.”

“But Young Master, you said… the Star Realm Army is about to catch up, didn’t you?”

“That’s to catch up with the Red Sun Boat. I’ve already recovered quite a bit, enough to take you all back,” Lu Yi said earnestly.

Even though the task was completed, and even if he didn’t look after them, Lu Yi wouldn’t suffer any loss.

But since Lu Yi had taken action, he naturally wouldn’t leave them behind.

In fact, even if his Immortal Spirit Qi hadn’t fully recovered, he could still take everyone back.

After all, inside him was a Small World Pearl, containing an abundant amount of Immortal Spirit Qi, sufficient to sustain Lu Yi’s strength continuously.

However, this was one of Lu Yi’s precious trump cards, and he would not use it unless absolutely necessary.

Hearing this, both the three members of the Star Realm Army and the other cultivators were shocked.

After all, they knew how much immense power was needed to transport a large number of cultivators through space, and Young Master Lu Yi had recovered so quickly?!

What kind of recovery speed was that?

Lu Yi didn’t care about their thoughts; he told them not to resist and then swept everyone up, leaving the Red Sun Boat.

The Jiuyou Storm surged like terrifying waves, sweeping towards everyone, which shocked all the cultivators.

“Jiuyou Storm?!”

“We’re done for!”

They were healing in the hall and had no idea about the terrifying Jiuyou Storm outside the Red Sun Boat!

Under the Jiuyou Storm, they, gravely injured, had absolutely no chance of resisting.

However, before they could even regret their predicament, all of the Jiuyou Storms were blocked by the Taoist Energy, rendering the expressions of all the cultivators rigid.

At that moment, Lu Yi had put away the Red Sun Boat, taken out the Sky Tunneling Tablet, and was shifting through space.

Not long after Lu Yi and the others left, those powerful Jiuyou Demons arrived at the location of the Red Sun Boat, sensing the spatial fluctuations, they became extremely furious and pursued once again.

However, Lu Yi’s speed of continuous space-shifting was even faster than the Red Sun Boat.

After several space-shifts, Lu Yi passed through the Great Array of the base and entered the base.

On the base’s plaza, everyone appeared, Lu Yi let down the many cultivators and exhaled a deep breath.

The Tao Seal on his forehead flashed, and Liu Ningshuang and the other three appeared.

At that moment, the cultivators looked around, their expressions still showing a hue of bewilderment.

“…Is this the base?”

“We’ve really come back?!”

They found it somewhat hard to believe.

As the presence of the people appeared, it naturally attracted the cultivators within the base.

Streams of light quickly arrived at the plaza, including the Ling Luo Peak Master and Star Realm Army powerhouses like Song Daheng.

Upon seeing Lu Yi and the others, especially the seriously injured members of the Star Realm Army, everyone’s faces changed.

The Ling Luo Peak Master approached Lu Yi, looked at him and the others beside him, “How is it? Nothing serious, right?”

“Nothing’s wrong, Master. We are quite formidable!” Donggong Ming Yue said with a giggle, her expression quite triumphant.

After using the Yin Yang Tao Seal and feeling the powerful strength of Lu Yi, Donggong Ming Yue felt inflated, thinking she was nearly invincible.

The Ling Luo Peak Master glanced at Donggong Ming Yue, flicked his finger, and with a thud, Donggong Ming Yue clutched her forehead and crouched down.

“Why are you being so arrogant? Isn’t that just asking for trouble?” The Ling Luo Peak Master said, speechless.

Liu Ningshuang and the others couldn’t help but laugh.

Lu Yi shook his head, “We’re alright, but something did happen over there.”

Ling Luo Peak Master’s face changed slightly, “What happened?”

“About that, you should ask them, they probably know more.” Lu Yi gestured toward the Star Realm Army and other cultivators he had rescued.

At this moment, Song Daheng and a group of the Star Realm Army were surrounding three seriously injured Star Realm Army warriors, including the two that Lu Yi and his group had saved on their way back previously.

“Boss! You’re still alive! That’s really great!” The man named Luo Yi from the human Star Realm Army had red-rimmed eyes as he hugged the gravely wounded Star Realm Army captain tightly.

The captain’s face had turned pale as he cursed, “Dammit, let go! At this rate, if I don’t die from my injuries, I’ll die because of you!”

A member of the Three-eyed Clan from the Star Realm Army was equally surprised, “Boss, how did you manage to survive?”

On the side, Song Daheng and the others from the Star Realm Army were also filled with joy. The soldiers from the same unit were like brothers and sisters, having an excellent relationship with each other.

Song Daheng also asked, “Yeah, Pang De, what exactly happened?”

Pang De took a deep breath and recounted the events that had occurred.

Everyone’s faces turned pale, and chills ran down their spines upon hearing that the Jiuyou Demons had used a peculiar Great Array to attempt to open the gateway, planning to allow Golden Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons into the Zhen’an Battlefield.

If Golden Immortal Level Jiuyou Demons really invaded the Zhen’an Battlefield, their outpost had a high probability of being overrun!

The situation was dire.

However, to hear that Lu Yi had rescued all of them from the siege of nine High-level Profound Immortal Jiuyou Demons and even destroyed the Great Array, everyone was dumbfounded.

Whether it was Ling Luo Peak Master or Song Daheng and the others, they looked at Lu Yi with confusion, and the entire plaza fell silent.

Lu Yi was a bit embarrassed by their stares and coughed, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Ling Luo Peak Master’s mouth twitched in disbelief, “You kid… You really saved them from nine High-level Profound Immortal Jiuyou Demons? And destroyed the Great Array?!”

Lu Yi coughed again and nodded, “Yeah.”

Even the Star Realm Army present was shocked, looking at Lu Yi as if he were an Immortal. This was simply outrageous.

These things were beyond the stuff of myths.

Seeing everyone’s shocked expressions, Pang De and the other cultivators felt somewhat excited about their misfortune. Even though they had experienced it themselves, it still felt like a dream.

Then, coming back to his senses, Song Daheng said, “This is a big issue. I need to inform the Military Leader right away, to prevent any unexpected incidents!”

With that, Song Daheng hurriedly left.

The other critically injured cultivators were led away by the Star Realm Army to be registered.

Ling Luo Peak Master looked at Lu Yi, still not fully comprehending, “How did you do it, kid? They were High-level Profound Immortals. How could you save so many people from the siege of so many Profound Immortal warriors?”

Even she could not have accomplished this feat.

Had this brat surpassed her already?

Impossible, right?

Ling Luo Peak Master was somewhat incredulous inside.

Lu Yi helplessly said, “I used some trump cards.”

Hearing this, Ling Luo Peak Master suddenly recalled something and looked strangely at Liu Ningshuang and the three others, “When you promised to go with them earlier, was that also a kind of tactic?”

Liu Ningshuang and the other three stiffened their expressions slightly, embarrassed, having not expected Ling Luo Peak Master to remember this matter.

Lu Yi was also somewhat embarrassed, “Sort of?”

Ling Luo Peak Master looked doubtfully at Lu Yi and then at Liu Ningshuang and the others. She did not say much else but simply suggested, “Looking at you all, you must be tired. Go rest first.”

Lu Yi nodded.

The group returned to their accommodations, and then Lu Yi went to the Cultivation Room, eager to refine the Top-grade Immortal Artifact and the two Acquired Spirit Treasures he had just acquired.

The sooner he finished refining them, the sooner he could find some use for them, adding more trump cards to his arsenal.

Liu Ningshuang and the other three also planned to go back and recover on their own.

Just then, the voice of Ling Luo Peak Master rang out, “Little Mingyue, come with me.”

“Huh? Do you need something, Master?” Donggong Ming Yue asked, looking puzzled.

“Quit your yapping and just come with me!” snapped Ling Luo Peak Master at Donggong Ming Yue.

She was still very curious about why that damn kid would take the four of them with him and even refer to it as a trump card.

She felt she wouldn’t be able to sleep without getting to the bottom of it.
