saint of humanity

Inside the mysterious formation, Lu Ye sat upright, practicing hard while pretending to pour his own Taoist power into the formation.

He was thinking about what the will was guiding him to do this time.

The previous mission was to assist Xingyuan Nieweng in breaking the starry sky barrier. This time, he was obviously not the leader of the mission, because judging from the current situation, there was no difference between him and Mi Ye and other cultivators who were inspired to come here.

The one who truly controlled this matter was the number one formation master of Xingyuan.

After thinking about it, Lu Ye guessed that he must have been lucky, because he happened to be in the surface world, and it was not too far from here, and then he was pulled here to do coolie work.

But this made him suffer.

The dwarf Hedao guessed that this matter would have a result within a hundred years, but was he willing to wait here for a hundred years?

With so much time, wouldn't it be better to return to the inner world, control Yuanxi City, capture cities, and seize the fragments of the Hedao Pearl to practice the secret method of your own small world?
But he couldn't leave easily, because if he did so, he would definitely be disturbed and uneasy again.

Given the current situation, we can only take things one step at a time.

There were continuous Hedao monks entering this starry wonder and falling into the formation under Xuan Huai's guidance. Lu Ye roughly calculated that in just a few months, nearly ten thousand Hedao monks had fallen into the formation.

This number made him stunned.

As more and more people joined the formation, the power of the formation became more and more fierce. It could be clearly seen that the light on the iron pillar divine object flickered faster and faster under the grinding of the formation.

Until this day, accompanied by a burst of strong light, there seemed to be a sound of something breaking.

All the monks in the formation felt something at this moment. They looked up at the iron pillar, only to see that the circle of light on the surface of the object had completely dissipated.

At the same time, Xuan Huai's loud laughter sounded: "The ban has been broken, fellow Taoists have done a good job, please take a few days to cultivate and help me remove this thing!"

He seemed to be in a very good mood. After all, after thousands of years of hard work, he finally saw the hope of success. Anyone would be happy.

Many monks in the formation also breathed a sigh of relief. Although they were called here and longed to be favored by that will, no one was willing to stay here for too long.

Judging from what Xuan Huai said, it seems that things will be settled soon, which is a pleasant surprise.

Only Lu Ye looked at the iron pillar with a serious expression.

He has been here for several months and has investigated this magical object countless times, but he still can't figure out what it is. Even until now, he hasn't figured out too many clues. He doesn't know what this object is or what it is sealing.

But when the seal of the Iron Pillar artifact was erased, revealing the details inside, he felt traces from the Iron Pillar artifact that were similar to the Zuyuan restriction under the Tower of Time.

He examined it carefully and became more and more certain that certain traces in this divine object were exactly the same as the Zuyuan restriction!
This thing was made by the ancestors of the dragon and phoenix!

Although there was not much evidence, Lu Ye could almost conclude that this sacred iron pillar was left behind by the dragon and phoenix ancestors.

When he saw this thing, he was wondering, who could shake such a divine object? Even if Ba Qiu himself came, he might not have the ability to do so.

But if it was left by the ancestors of the dragon and phoenix, then it makes sense. In this universe, perhaps only such a powerful person could have such miraculous means.

His eyes flashed slightly, and he stood up and rushed out.

"Where are you going, Brother Lu?" Mi Ye asked curiously not far away, but got no response. He looked at Lu Ye's back suspiciously, then shook his head, sat up straight, and recovered himself.

A moment later, somewhere in the formation, Xuan Huai, who was holding a formation plate and making a final inspection of the formation, stopped and looked coldly at a figure approaching quickly.

Soon the man came closer.

Xuan Huai thought for a moment and recognized that this was a human who came to help a few months ago. He immediately showed an unhappy look: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Greetings, Brother Dao!" Lu Ye bowed first, then continued: "Brother Dao, I certainly heard what you said."

Xuan Huai snorted coldly: "Since you heard it, why did you leave your post?"

Lu Ye said: "I have something to ask you."

Xuan Huai waved his hand and said, "No matter what, let's talk about it after I succeed."

He came here shortly after his defeat that day and has stayed here for ten thousand years. If it weren't for the recent changes in Xingyuan and the large number of Hedao coming to help, he would probably have to stay here for another ten thousand years.

Now he is only one step away from achieving his goal, so why would he bother talking nonsense with Lu Ye?
As he said this, he was about to leave, but as soon as he moved, Lu Ye blocked him again not far in front of him.

"Brother, please be patient. I only have a few questions and it won't take up much of your time."

Xuan Huai was furious, and stared at Lu Ye with his evil face that had half of his flesh missing. Their eyes met, but Lu Ye did not back down.

After a few breaths, Xuan Huai suppressed his anger and asked, "What do you have to ask now?"

I comforted myself in my heart that after thousands of years of waiting, it would not take long to accomplish my goal. There was really no need to make myself feel bad because of some trivial matters at this time.

"I would like to ask Brother Dao, what exactly is this magical object suppressing, and why do you want to remove it?"

Xuan Huai was startled, hummed, and tapped Lu Ye with his hand: "You asked a good question. I also want to know what this magical object is suppressing."

"Brother Dao, don't you know?" Lu Ye looked at him seriously.

Xuan Huai grinned, and half of his face looked extremely creepy. "If you figure it out, please let me know. After all, this is something I have spent ten thousand years planning. I will definitely thank you later."

Looking at his expression, Lu Ye knew that Xuan Huai was not lying about this matter. He really didn't know what the iron pillar was sealing.

"As for why we want to remove it..." Xuan Huai looked at Lu Ye, "Then why did you come here?"

Lu Ye understood that removing the divine object had been Xuan Huai’s mission for ten thousand years.

This is the task assigned to Xuan Huai by Xingyuan's will!

"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xuan Huai asked, "If not, please get out of the way and don't waste my time."

He couldn't wait any longer.

Lu Ye shook his head slowly: "No more questions, thank you, Brother Dao, and also... please have a safe journey!"

"Huh?" Xuan Huai was startled, and a warning sign arose in his heart. He inexplicably felt something was wrong, but before he could react, a bright flash of a knife appeared in his sight.

He felt his body suddenly lighten, his head flipped over, and his vision turned upside down.

In front of Lu Ye, blood gushed out of the headless corpse like a gushing out fountain, and the faces of all the Hedao who were watching this scene changed drastically.

No one expected that Xuan Huai would be killed. He was beheaded by a human with a single knife. It was a quick and easy death, without even any time to react.

Lu Ye frowned.

Something is wrong!

According to the information he knew, this Xuan Huai was a powerful man at the level of a Zhou-class city lord. Ten thousand years ago, he could even compete with Xiao Qianchen of Wangu City. He was a powerful man who was defeated but not dead.

His cultivation of the Dao has definitely reached the pinnacle.

In other words, he is a strong man who has achieved triple resonance and possesses a Taoist body.

With his current strength, even if he launched a surprise attack, he shouldn't be able to defeat the opponent so easily. Lu Ye was already prepared to fight a big battle with the opponent if the sneak attack failed, but who would have thought it would be so easy.

The key point is that when Lu Ye cut off his head, he did not feel much resistance.

Today's Panshan Sword, coupled with his sharp Taoist spirit, can indeed cut off a cultivator's Taoist bones, but the feedback from cutting off Taoist bones is different from that from cutting through flesh and blood.

When the knife flashed, the flesh and blood of Xuan Huai's body disappeared, and only a skeleton was left in an instant.

Lu Ye frowned even more.

There are indeed Taoist bones in this skeleton, but the number is not too many, probably less than a hundred pieces. This is not a complete Taoist body at all.

In other words, this is not Xuan Huai's real body, it is probably just a Dharma body or a clone or something like that.

"How dare you!" An angry shout came from somewhere, and it was Xuan Huai's voice.

He was really angry now.

If it weren't for the fact that what he was going to do later was of great importance, he would have released his clone long ago to assist the original body. This time, he would probably suffer a great loss.

He never imagined that in this outer world, among the people who were inspired to the Hedao, there was actually someone who wanted to kill him!
He was sure that he had never seen that human before, and there was no grudge between them. There was no sign of murderous intent or purpose before the other party drew his knife. The sudden attack was so sudden that even if it was just a clone, even the real person might not be able to react in time.

Because the knife was too fast.

Hearing the angry shout, Lu Ye looked a little helpless, but he still had to fight after all.

He and Xuan Huai had no grudges against each other, and he had no intention of doing anything here until he realized that the iron pillar was left by the dragon and phoenix ancestors.

No matter what the dragon and phoenix ancestors left behind this item to seal, it must not be easily destroyed.

Especially since this matter involves Xingyuan's will.

Everything here at the moment, whether it is the Xuanhuai formation, ten thousand years of grinding, or the gathering of tens of thousands of Hedao, is slowly achieved under the guidance of Xingyuan's will, so the positions of the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors and that will must be opposed.

One wants to seal off the town, the other wants to remove the seal on the town.

Of course Lu Ye would stand unconditionally with the Dragon and Phoenix ancestors.

This has nothing to do with personal vendettas.

Capture the thief and his leader; shoot the man and the horse. As long as Xuan Huai is dealt with, there is no need to worry about anything else.

But I didn't expect to fail.

The main reason was that I didn't expect that Xuan Huai would create a clone in such a place. He was too cautious.

A powerful aura was coming from the place where the angry roar came from. When Lu Ye turned his head, he saw a dazzling light approaching rapidly from that direction. Who else could it be but Xuan Huai within the light?
He still looked old, with half of his face missing flesh and blood, but his aura did not show any sign of old age at all, but was instead unusually strong.

He held a huge spear in his hand, and wherever he passed, the aura of the surrounding Xingyuan boiled and followed closely. (End of this chapter)
