Humanity's Great Sage

Lu Ye hadn’t expected that his hunch would be proven right so soon.

He was wearing the golden lock that Nian Yuexian had given to him around his neck. His Divine Ocean had the protection of two spectral Flood Dragons. Besides that, he also had a Soul Soothing Tower to ensure that his Divine Ocean remained intact.

Even if he was dealing with Wan Zhanggang, he could ensure his Divine Soul’s integrity, not to mention that his opponent was only a Second-Order Divine Ocean Realm Master.

When impacted by Ning Hu’s Soul Attack, Lu Ye could feel the golden lock around his neck radiating an invisible barrier to stop the attack.

The effect was limited, though. The invisible attack headed straight to Lu Ye’s mind, but before it even reached his Divine Ocean, it was stopped by the two spectral Flood Dragons.

With the protection of Soul Soothing Tower, his Divine Ocean was unaffected as Lu Ye successfully brought down his saber.

Ning Hu didn’t expect this to happen. When the enforcement team from the Ministry of Laws arrived, he didn’t resist not because he wanted to die, nor was it because he was willing to be arrested. It was because he was able to counterattack.

If he were indeed a Real Lake Realm Master, he would’ve been rendered powerless by Six Elemental Spirit Locks and Dragon Binding Ropes.

However, he secretly ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm eight years ago, and he was now in the Second Order.

Six Elemental Spirit Locks could prohibit the use of Spiritual Power but not Divine Ego. As such, he could break free at any moment. He just wanted to have a word with An Mofeng before falling out with them, which was why he had been cooperative.

All of them had underestimated him, but he had also underestimated Lu Ye. Who could’ve thought that a First-Order Real Lake Realm Master was unaffected by a Soul Attack?

One had to know that even Ninth-Order Real Lake Realm Masters like An Mofeng and Geng Wuwang fell into a dazed state upon impact.

There was a price to pay when one underestimated his opponent.

The Spiritual Power Shield he had built in a hurry couldn’t fend off Lu Ye’s mighty attack. When the attack struck, a cut was formed in Ning Hu’s chest.

His blood spurted out of his wound. Ning Hu groaned and broke free from the two Dragon Binding Ropes. As his Spiritual Power surged, he pushed out a fist.

The attack was insanely rapid. Despite his skinny figure, the old man launched an attack that would send any Real Lake Realm Master into a state of despair.

Lu Ye could see the fist phantom expanding before his eyes as a sense of fatality swept over him.

Despite that, he had never been more clear-headed as he wielded his saber. His movements were so abstruse that the Saber Light seemed to have a life of its own as it evolved into an intricate pattern.

Returning Moon! Once again, he used the Glyph that had helped him deal with Wan Zhanggang’s attack previously.

The Returning Moon was shattered. The Protection Glyphs he had built in a hurry were broken as well. The fist phantom struck the blade and then impacted Lu Ye’s figure.

He groaned in pain as some of his bones were fractured. He was sent flying away before he fell into the lake.

“Huh?” Ning Hu appeared puzzled again.

Despite their short exchange of moves, he was shocked by Lu Ye’s capabilities. Not only was Lu Ye unaffected by the Soul Attack, but he also survived the fist phantom.

He could feel the Returning Moon’s power earlier. The abstruse Glyph could reflect a part of his power to him and weaken his attack.

Then, Lu Ye seemed to have used a move that could protect him. That was why he was injured but not killed.

[Which Sect is he from? Disciples from top Sects are indeed different. Here in Red Cloud Mountain, we can never have such talented disciples.]

Although it was only a brief exchange of moves between the two, it had bought time for the others so that they could survive.

Otherwise, Ning Hu could’ve killed all of them in such a situation.

When Lu Ye fell into the lake, An Mofeng and Geng Wuwang also came to their senses.

An Mofeng was overwhelmed by grief. “You’re a Divine Ocean Realm Master!”

He had been hoping that it was all a misunderstanding, but when Ning Hu revealed his true cultivation, his wishful thinking was shattered.

If Ning Hu wasn’t a mole from Thousand Demon Ridge, he wouldn’t be hiding his true cultivation for so long. Moreover, he had already admitted to it.

“Come on, Sect Master An!” Geng Wuwang growled. His vitality and Spiritual Power surged around him. All his muscles bulged as he charged towards Ning Hu.

He didn’t expect that their target this time was a Divine Ocean Realm Master. This was beyond their capabilities to solve the problem as members of Team A3.

Real Lake Realm Masters like them couldn’t possibly capture a Divine Ocean Realm Master.

Geng Wuwang was afraid all of them were doomed.

Naturally, he wouldn’t abandon his companions and run for his life. Moreover, it was unrealistic to try running away from a Divine Ocean Realm Master.

Now, he could only join forces with An Mofeng in an attempt to kill Ning Hu.
