Lu Ye can teleport through the Heaven's Augury Pillar to various places in the Blood Refinement Realm. This is no longer a secret, as his active range has been too vast recently, appearing in the east, then the west, then the south, and then the north. Without the help of the Heaven's Augury Pillar, it would be impossible to achieve this just by flying on his own.

Besides him, no other Nine Provinces cultivator has this kind of authority, all lamenting that he truly is a person favored by Heaven's Augury, with special privileges granted everywhere by the Heaven's Augury.

No need to envy, as it is precisely because he can teleport with the help of the Heaven's Augury Pillar that he can support various locations repeatedly and assist Nine Provinces cultivators in slaying Sacred Seeds.

So, upon seeing those two streaks of light coming from the direction of the Heaven's Augury Pillar, the Divine Sea practitioners on the scene knew that Lu Ye had arrived.

As for why there were two streaks of light, that was unknown.

Soon, the two streaks of light landed in front of the crowd, revealing two figures. One was Lu Ye, and the other was a robust, imposing man.

"Yiye, you have finally arrived." Khu Cha quickly led the group to greet them, with a look as if they had been waiting for him for a long time.

His enthusiasm slightly surprised Lu Ye, and the way he addressed him was obviously well thought out.

The name Lu Ye heard most often was "Young Friend Lu," given the age difference between them. It seemed only the sect master referred to him as Yiye.

But he had to admit that this kind of address easily closed the distance between them.

"The journey took a bit of time," Lu Ye replied.

"Who is this..." Khu Cha looked at the robust man, vaguely guessing that he was one of the elders Lu Ye had mentioned before, but he was unsure of which one.

"Wu Dezhao," Wu Dezhao introduced himself, hands clasped behind his back, exuding a natural aura of authority.

Khu Cha and the others thought for a moment and understood his origins, quickly paying their respects. Although they were all Divine Sea Level 9 cultivators, top figures in the Nine Provinces, they were still somewhat inferior in front of a strong figure like Wu Dezhao and dared not show disrespect.

The encounter between Lu Ye and Wu Dezhao had a touch of coincidence, but it was largely due to Wu Dezhao's own strategy.

No slouch he, knowing Lu Ye was targeting Sacred Seeds, he headed north immediately upon leaving the Sacred Island, specifically inquiring about the whereabouts of the Sacred Seeds.

He wasn't interested in ordinary Blood Race members; he only wanted to kill more Sacred Seeds. But he knew it would be very difficult to do so with just his own strength, so he had to rely on Lu Ye's abilities.

Upon hearing news of a Sacred Seed nearby, he promptly rushed toward the nearest Heaven's Augury Pillar, and sure enough, he caught up with Lu Ye teleporting there, and they immediately set off together towards this location.

For this, Lu Ye was naturally very pleased. With Wu Dezhao assisting, slaying Sacred Seeds would certainly be much easier.

"What's the situation now?" Lu Ye asked. He thought a battle would already be underway here, as he had been hurrying with all his might on the way, but now it seemed that the two sides hadn't yet engaged, which was very strange.

With so many Nine Provinces cultivators gathered here, there's no way the Blood Race at Boulder Sacred Land wouldn't know. Rationally, Boulder Sacred Land should have taken the initiative to strike first, because the longer they delay, the more Nine Provinces cultivators will gather, putting the Blood Race at a disadvantage.

While explaining the situation, Khu Cha casually flicked his battlefield marking imprint to Lu Ye, and the other Divine Sea cultivators followed suit.

Lu Ye accepted without refusal, having experienced this scene many times recently. Each time he went to support, after slaying a Sacred Seed, a large group of Divine Sea cultivators would come to exchange their imprints with him.

"Something's not right," Lu Ye frowned. "Even if the Blood Race's message delivery is sluggish, they should roughly understand the current situation in the Blood Refinement Realm. Staying on the defensive like this is very disadvantageous for them. What are they waiting for? Are there any other Blood Race gathering points nearby?"

"If you're worried about hidden Blood Race reinforcements, you don't have to be. We've spread out scouts over thousands of miles around. If a large force of Blood Race appears, we'll know at the first moment," Khu Cha and the others, seasoned Divine Sea cultivators who have fought all their lives, certainly considered what Lu Ye worried about.

"We suspect that the reason they aren't taking the initiative is because they know the difference in strength between us and them, so they don't dare act rashly. They're waiting for us to strike first so they can take advantage of the terrain."

This explanation is a bit of a stretch, but it seems to be the only explanation.

As everyone was talking, a sudden surge of spirit force erupted within the previously calm Boulder Sacred Land, blood Qi filled the air, and a swath of Blood Race figures abruptly charged out from within.

A vast Blood River unfurled from within, sweeping toward the gathering spot of Nine Provinces cultivators.

"Face the enemy!" Khu Cha shouted angrily, as many Divine Sea cultivators quickly shifted, heading towards their own formation.

The Blood Race attack was unexpected, but fortunately, the Nine Provinces cultivators had been preparing for this, so they weren't caught off guard. In an instant, the cultivators from both sides clashed fiercely.

"Kid, be careful, it seems they're targeting you!" Wu Dezhao warned sternly.

Lu Ye nodded, "It should be!"

It made no sense that before he arrived, everything here was calm, and as soon as he came, the Blood Race launched an attack. He had suspected before that the Blood Race was waiting for something, if not reinforcements, then a specific enemy.

An enemy considered a major threat by the Blood Race!

Among the Nine Provinces cultivators today, only Lu Ye could have such an honor.

Lu Ye was puzzled, though. What was the Blood Race relying on? Why did they think they could deal with him here?

He had some vague suspicions but needed to verify them personally.

His figure soared into the sky, heading straight towards the enormous Blood River with Wu Deshao. That was the Blood River of the Sacred Seed! If he wasn't mistaken, it should have been unleashed by the Boulder Saintly Venerable.

At this moment, the Blood River surged, engulfing a Nine Provinces cultivator who was momentarily careless. Soon, agonizing screams echoed, indicating a lethal attack.

The Blood River danced continuously, killing but not excessively, with a provocative air, baring its fangs and brandishing its claws.

This made Lu Ye even more certain of his suspicions.

Boulder Sacred Land had been motionless, but attacked immediately after his arrival, clearly waiting for him. There must be a trap for him within the Blood River!

If things were indeed as he suspected, then the Blood Race might end up suffering a loss instead of gaining an advantage this time.

So he fearlessly plunged into the Blood River, with Wu Deshao following closely.

Once inside the Blood River, Lu Ye immediately felt a strong binding force coming from all directions, confirming his previous suspicions.

Outside the Blood River, it was hard to sense much, but once inside, he detected a familiar aura.

It was the aura of a Sacred Seed he had encountered during the great battle in the Empyrean Sea!

The saintliness of that Sacred Seed was incredibly powerful, suppressing even him. Sensing something was wrong, he, along with Jian Guhong and Wu Deshao, immediately withdrew from the Blood River. In the hasty event, the opponent did not react in time, allowing them to escape successfully.

In fact, even if the opponent had reacted, it wouldn't have been much use. With Jian Guhong and Wu Deshao joining forces, plus another elder within the Blood River, they could handle one Sacred Seed. While they couldn't do much about the Sacred Seed, they could ensure Lu Ye's safety.

However, once trapped inside the Blood River, Lu Ye wouldn't be able to kill more Sacred Seeds later on.

Now appearing on this battlefield was precisely that Saintly strong Sacred Seed! Apparently, he knew that the fall of the Sacred Seeds was closely related to Lu Ye, and also knew that recently, Lu Ye had been hunting Sacred Seeds. So, he set up a trap at Boulder Sacred Land to lure Lu Ye over.

Now that the fish had taken the bait, he was wiser from past lessons. He activated the restrictive power of the Blood River the moment Lu Ye entered, confident that his saintliness could suppress Lu Ye and hunt him down, the bane of Sacred Seeds!

Inside the Blood River, there wasn't only him; another Sacred Seed's aura was present, too.

It should be none other than Boulder Saintly Venerable.

Sacred Seeds usually wouldn't join forces, as their saintliness varied in strength, which could interfere with each other during a confrontation. The weaker saintliness side wouldn't be able to exert full power.

This had been Lu Ye's understanding of Sacred Seeds, not told by anyone, but based on his own judgment.

But now, it seemed there was a flaw in that judgment?

Because at this very moment, Boulder Saintly Venerable and that strongly saintly Sacred Seed were indeed cooperating, with one leading and the other supporting. Their saintliness surged, forming a peculiar resonance.

The saintliness flooding the Blood River exceeded the original level of that strongly saintly Sacred Seed.

It wasn't as terrifying as adding their powers together, but it was indeed stronger than the original saintliness of that Sacred Seed.

He suddenly realized that this was what they relied on!

In the great battle of the Empyrean Sea, that guy's saintliness was stronger than his, so he believed that by luring him into the Blood River, he could easily subdue him. To ensure success, he even teamed up with Boulder Saintly Venerable, creating a resonance between their saintliness, which became even stronger.

And once they killed him here, the remaining Sacred Seeds in the Blood Refinement World would be greatly safeguarded. After all, even top-notch powerhouses like Jian Guhong and Wu Deshao couldn't gain any advantage when fighting against them.

Lu Ye couldn't help but sigh; the more he interacted with the Blood Race, the more he discovered things he hadn't previously noticed.

He had always believed there was no possibility of cooperation between Sacred Seeds, but in reality, Sacred Seeds never had to cooperate. This way of enhancing saintliness was only suitable for internal conflicts among Sacred Seeds. When waging war against the human race, such cooperation was meaningless.
