Although all of these Wuchang people have achieved the pinnacle of cultivation, reaching the Divine Sea Realm, they would not leave the Righteous Blood Sacred Land unless absolutely necessary. The last time the Blood Race army besieged the Sacred Land, it resulted in the final line of defense being breached, leaving a gap, and if it happens again, the Sacred Land may not hold. Lu Ye, before leaving, said he would definitely return and bring back a group of allies, but such matters are unpredictable. What if Lu Ye doesn't come back? What if the allies he brings aren't numerous enough? So they are also doing their best. They spread out to attack, stirring up chaos, striving to attack and kill the Blood Race while delaying the assembly of the Blood Race army. Now that Lu Ye has returned and brought such great news, how could Wuchang not be excited? With the entire Nine Provinces cultivation world as a backing, the human race is certainly not afraid of the mere Blood Race. He truly did not expect such a dramatic change in the situation, mainly because this fact is beyond imagination. "Do the others know?" Wuchang asked. Lu Ye shook his head: "I have only encountered you, senior, since leaving the Sacred Land, and haven't met anyone else yet." Wuchang said: "We must quickly inform them of this good news, leave it to me to handle. What is your task?" Lu Ye then took out a Heaven's Augury Pillar: "To place these in various parts of the Blood Refinement World, I need your help, senior." Wuchang understood instantly: "How many are there?" Lu Ye took out all the Heaven's Augury Pillars. Wuchang grinned: "This time it's really a big move, if we place all these things, there will be no safe place in the Blood Refinement World. Give me half, coincidentally I need to find those old immortals, two matters handled at once." Lu Ye had no objection and immediately handed over half of the Heaven's Augury Pillars to Wuchang. "What was the purpose of the summons, senior?" Lu Ye finally had a chance to inquire about Wuchang's intentions. If not injured needing support, there must be another reason. "To kill Sacred Seeds!" Wuchang's expression suddenly turned fierce. Lu Ye couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, admiring the bold appetite of this ghost cultivator senior; however, killing Sacred Seeds is impossible relying solely on him. Every Sacred Seed possesses power matching that of these old seniors, one-on-one, no one can kill a Sacred Seed, naturally requiring allies to be summoned. Unexpectedly, instead of summoning others, Lu Ye himself was summoned, a coincidence indeed. "If we intend to kill a Sacred Seed, senior, just the two of us might not be enough." Lu Ye had some doubts, although Wuchang is very powerful, and his own strength isn't weak either, Sacred Seeds are not entities that can be easily slain. The same principle applies, combat involves both defeating and killing, and the latter is considerably more difficult. Especially with the Blood Race's Blood Escape Technique, unparalleled in ingenuity, even if our side truly holds the advantage, any besieged Sacred Seed would quickly escape. Who could chase them down? "Of course, it's not just the two of us; there are others nearby. It's uncertain how many might come, let's wait and see. However, Lu Ye, this is dangerous work, it's best if you don't get involved." Although Lu Ye sensed that Lu Ye's cultivation had reached Divine Sea Level 5, for such level combat, Level 5 cultivation is indeed a bit low. Wuchang was concerned for Lu Ye's safety, hence the warning. Lu Ye smiled: "Senior underestimates me, I cannot guarantee much, but once the battle starts, I can certainly avoid holding you back, senior. By then, you seniors will take charge, and I will assist and cover the formation, playing a supporting role." Although time was tight before, now that half the Heaven's Augury Pillars have been distributed to Wuchang, time has eased considerably. The seniors intend to assassinate Sacred Seeds, such a significant matter is not something Lu Ye would miss out on. Sacred Seeds are the strongest forces of this world, their number isn't very large yet not very few in this vast domain. When the two races clash, they might meet, understanding a Sacred Seed's strength in advance is beneficial. Seeing his determination, Wuchang could say no more. The two then waited silently, with Loo Chang standing quietly aside throughout, without uttering a word. After one incense stick's time had passed, Lu Ye sensed an aura rapidly approaching, and shortly, a figure walked into the cave. He stood tall, straight as a sword, his aura was restrained, yet still exuded sharpness. It was clearly Jian Guhong. Seeing Lu Ye, Jian Guhong's reaction mirrored Wuchang's, both surprised, and without waiting for Lu Ye to explain, Wuchang volunteered information about the situation. While speaking, yet another individual was summoned. It was an old senior named Wey Fufeng. Thus followed another round of surprise, and Wuchang launched into a new narration. "Good, good, good!" Wey Fufeng stroked his beard, his old heart greatly comforted, "I was worried about the next major siege of the Blood Race, but unexpectedly the situation took such a sharp turn, revealing a bright future. Evidently, our Nine Provinces will flourish, and the human race will prosper." Jian Guhong nodded and said, "In this way, all our previous worries are no longer an issue. So, Wuchang, have you called us together for this matter?" "Naturally not. Earlier, I didn't know that Lu Ye had already returned. Since he was nearby, he was summoned too." "Then what is the matter?" Wuchang chuckled, "I want to kill a Sacred Seed and need help." Wey Fufeng glanced at Wuchang and said, "Over the years, you've attacked Sacred Seeds many times but never succeeded. So where does this confidence come from this time? Sacred Seeds usually stay inside their Sacred Land, full of strong practitioners. If we are exposed, even with Jian and me supporting you, you may not escape." Wuchang curled his lips, "Am I so foolish to go to the Sacred Land to act? It's naturally in the wild." Jian Guhong's eyes glinted sharply, "Tell us more." "Come with me," Wuchang beckoned and flew out first. No need to wait any longer; since no one has arrived by now, they probably won't come. The jade tablet's sensing is also limited in distance. The group exchanged glances and followed closely. As they flew forward, Wuchang transmitted through mental consciousness, "I accidentally stumbled upon the tracks of a Sacred Seed yesterday. I intended to follow him to see if I could find an opportunity to ambush him. Unexpectedly, that guy entered the Blood Pool, seemingly to cultivate. I thought it was an opportunity, so I gathered the team." Jian Guhong and Wey Fufeng understood Wuchang's plan immediately upon hearing this. This clearly was an ambush. Indeed, it was a good opportunity. Over the years, the elders of Nine Provinces fought fiercely with the Sacred Seeds but honestly have not achieved any victories. So far, the only person who successfully killed a Sacred Seed in direct combat was Feng Wujiang. If successful this time, the death of a Sacred Seed would yield considerable gains. Solving one before the two races clash could reduce many losses for the human race. But killing a Sacred Seed is not so simple. Generally, Sacred Seeds stay within their Sacred Land, rarely leaving it. Even someone like Wuchang, a Ghost Cultivator, wouldn't rashly invade such a dangerous place. When a Sacred Seed leaves the Sacred Land, it is also difficult to track their movements. Once elders discovered the Sacred Seed, he would notice them as well. Only Ghost Cultivators like Wuchang have the chance to detect the movements of a Sacred Seed without being discovered, leading to today's action. The Blood Pool that the Sacred Seed entered was not far from the gathering point, totaling less than about 30 miles. Soon, the group arrived at a location 10 miles from the Blood Pool, where they collectively restrained their aura and quietly observed from a distance, indeed seeing a Blood Pool there, its Blood Water surging. "The time is still short; the Sacred Seed must be in the Blood Pool. His perception of the outside world is extremely vague at the moment, so even if we wait there, he won't notice. My suggestion is to set up formations in advance to trap him, and when he appears, we can join forces to kill him." Ghost Cultivators generally excel in the Array Path, especially top-tier ones like Wuchang, whose accomplishments in formations are surely high. Using formations to kill enemies is quite reasonable. "But there's a problem now. If the Sacred Seed senses something amiss, he might escape back to the Blood Pool, and we'll have no way to deal with him then." Wuchang turned to Wey Fufeng, "Old Wei, any solutions?" He was powerless over it himself and didn't need to ask Jian Guhong. Being a sword cultivator, he typically does not rely on external forces, as is traditional for sword cultivators. So, if anyone could solve this, it would be Wey Fufeng. If even Wey Fufeng couldn't solve it, then they'd have to suppress the Sacred Seed as much as possible and prevent him from fleeing into the Blood Pool, or all efforts would be in vain. Wey Fufeng slightly smiled, "Coincidentally, I have a treasure which can be used here." Wuchang grinned, "I knew you had many tricks up your sleeve; that settles it. I'll start with the formations; keep out of sight." "I'll help." Lu Ye volunteered, as opportunities to closely observe a top-tier Ghost Cultivator's accomplishments in the Array Path are rare. Wuchang was somewhat surprised, "You understand the Array Path?" The two quickly moved, heading toward the Blood Pool. Soon, Wuchang realized that Lu Ye's achievements in the Array Path were far more than basic understanding; they were quite proficient. Although there was still a gap compared to him, their age difference was apparent, leaving Wuchang baffled as to when Lu Ye found time to delve into the Array Path. It requires time for sedimentary accumulation, not determined by talent. Moreover, Lu Ye's cultivation far exceeded his peers, which was astonishing. With Lu Ye's assistance, several large formations were arranged properly, with no worries about exposure. The Sacred Seed was deep inside the Blood Pool and couldn't possibly sense the outside situation. After the setup, Lu Ye gained a lot. His skills in the Array Path mainly came from the Hundred Arrays Pagoda, which was a lifeless entity. Wuchang, however, was a living person, and many imaginative concepts and formation methods could not be provided by the Hundred Arrays Pagoda but could be learned here with Wuchang.
