Sage of Humanity

In fact, since that day, the Insect and Blood Races have been paying attention to this Crane Wings Array. They've even learned through their own channels that the Human Race's Military Affairs Office received a new Dao Rune, which is subtly related to the Crane Wings Array. Recently, the Military Affairs Office has expended great effort researching this Dao Rune.

A single Crane Wings Array is not worth much attention because no matter how strong it is, it cannot change the entire configuration of Banlan.

But if the Human Race produces more of them, who knows what might happen. By then, confrontations at the Enter the Path level would be unbeatable, and relying on Dao Fusion alone would not suffice.

Unfortunately, since the battle at Blood Cloud, this array had only been a fleeting occurrence, disappearing without a trace.

Therefore, the Insect Matriarch never expected that after more than half a year, this array would reappear in her own war zone!

This made it impossible for the Insect Matriarch not to pay attention to it.

She had already investigated and found that the Human Race's Military Affairs Office had made little progress in researching that Dao Rune. In other words, except for the initial Crane Wings Array, the Human Race had no way of forming a second one!

And in this Crane Wings Array, the person at the Array Eye was undoubtedly the key.

The scene before her froze, reflecting the moment when Lu Ye charged forward with a short hammer in hand. The Insect Matriarch stared deeply, as if imprinting his appearance into the depths of her soul.

A moment later, pure Soul Power surged.

In the Divine Sea, a voice suddenly sounded: "Does the Insect Matriarch have something to discuss?"

If there was nothing, the Insect Matriarch wouldn't contact him. The speaker quickly realized that it wasn't just himself being contacted; the entire war zone's Dao Fusions were all connected with the Insect Matriarch.

This was something only the Insect Matriarch could do because almost every Dao Fusion carried a stone bug with them, precisely to facilitate contact with the Insect Matriarch.

The orchestration of various strategic directions within the war zone was actually managed by the Insect Matriarch.

"There's someone who needs to be brought over!" The Insect Matriarch's words were succinct.

"Who could be important enough for the Insect Matriarch to value so highly?" Another voice chimed in.

"The one who killed Rong Chi." the Insect Matriarch replied.

A third voice emerged in the Divine Sea: "Is the Insect Matriarch interested in that array?"

The death of Rong Chi was already known to these Dao Fusions, after all, quite a number of Insect and Blood Race cultivators had escaped that day. Moreover, with the Insect Matriarch around, it was only natural to receive the first-hand information immediately.

Ordinary Human Race practitioners couldn't possibly intrigue the Insect Matriarch, but if it involved that array, it's different. These Dao Fusions had also been paying attention to that array of late, but useful information was scarce.

"Such an array is indeed worth attention. If we can obtain the core array runes, forming arrays would be much simpler for our Blood Race than for the Human Race."

In terms of array formation, the Blood Race indeed had a greater advantage than other races, because the Blood Seas of the Blood Race could merge with each other, providing a natural advantage in forming arrays.

It's just that ordinary arrays were of little use and not as effective as a simple Blood Sea merge.

"It's called the Crane Wings Array, right? I remember many years ago, the Huang family had created one, but it failed to be effective."

"The Huang family's array had only a few dozen people; it wasn't like this one. I'm quite curious as to why Rong Chi died under the assault of this array. Although he was inept, he at least had a 2nd Order realm."

"Carelessness and underestimating the enemy. If he didn't die, who would?" A disdainful voice emerged, seemingly not in favor of Rong Chi.

All the Dao Fusions could not believe that just relying on a single array, an Enter the Path could kill a Dao Fusion. Carelessness was the best explanation.

"Even if he was careless, the power this array can unleash is not to be underestimated. It's beyond the reach of the Enter the Path level."

"An Enter the Path slaying a Dao Fusion is a joke."

"A joke? Pei Dan of Blood Cloud Battle Planet was slain by an Enter the Path; although Pei Dan's strength was weaker than Rong Chi, it was by just a small margin."

"Pei Dan's death was related to the giant ant, which is now in the hands of the Human Race's Yan family."

"However, according to the information I received, the Human Race that slew Pei Dan should have another giant ant, and that person has a high compatibility rate with the giant ant."

"It's just unfortunate that the whereabouts of that person can't be traced. He must either be hiding or has changed his appearance."

"Alright, there's no need for more idle talk. I'm gathering you here for this array."

Numerous Dao Fusions immediately fell silent.

A moment later, the one who first spoke said, "The person is at Fengtai Stronghold; how are we supposed to bring him over? Should I just go there directly?"

The Insect Matriarch shook her head: "No, if you make a move, the Human Race's Dao Fusions will respond. There's only one chance, and if you alert them, the Human Race will be on guard."

"The Insect Matriarch means..."

"Use the covert agents!"

After a few breaths of silence, a voice finally responded: "Is it worth it?"

Both the Human Race's battle alliance and the Giant Race have many Blood Race covert agents, yet these agents generally have little impact. For this mission, a Dao Fusion covert agent would have to be used!

Such a covert agent would have been lurking among the Human Race for at least a thousand years, and each one is incredibly precious. Is it truly worth it for an Enter the Path?

Insect Matriarch said, "If these array runes are truly as I imagine, then it's worth it!"

"Since the Insect Matriarch has made a decision, we will naturally cooperate."

"How should we proceed specifically?"

The Insect Matriarch smiled slightly, truly graceful and charming, but unfortunately no one could see.

She spoke slowly, quickly setting a strategy.

At Fengtai Stronghold, Lu Ye put away his Alliance Guard Token.

Zi Ying had just sent a message, asking them to wait here at Fengtai for two more days. Once the personnel from Huang Quan's battle planet came to verify the previous battle's situation, they could hurry to join her.

Lu Ye naturally accepted the order. After all, Crane Wings Camp was directly under Zi Ying, only temporarily reassigned to help here. Now that Fengtai Stronghold was secured, they didn't need to stay any longer.

After two days, people from Huang Quan's battle planet indeed arrived, looking for several cultivators at the stronghold to verify the battle's circumstances. Crane Wings Camp was questioned as well.

Since Lu Ye had informed them in advance, those questioned naturally knew what to say.

Once everything concluded, Du Feng summoned Lu Ye at the first opportunity, expressing his gratitude multiple times in his words. Based on his previous actions, he would certainly have been held accountable, but now not only was he spared from blame, he even gained some merits. Crane Wings Camp didn't hinder him, and he was certainly grateful.

"Governor Du, since things have settled here, Crane Wings Camp will take its leave now. Lord Zi Ying sent a message a few days ago; the situation at her end is tense, and she requires our assistance."

Du Feng nodded, "As it should be. Let me see you off."

At the moment of departure, Du Feng added, "Commander Lu, the future is long. I'm someone who repays kindness; let's go forward and see."

Lu Ye understood the meaning behind his words, cupped his fists, and said, "Farewell!"

Arriving at Crane Wings Camp's station, Lu Ye called out, and everyone followed closely as they left Fengtai Stronghold and headed toward Zi Ying's location.

However, they had barely left when a stream of light rushed from behind. Before the person arrived, the voice was already heard, "Commander Lu!"

Lu Ye and the others halted and turned back, seeing Du Quan hurriedly flying over. When near, he clasped his fists in salute, "Commander Lu!"

Lu Ye, puzzled, asked, "Why are you here?"

Du Quan quickly replied, "The Insect and Blood Races suddenly launched a large-scale attack on various strongholds. The nearby Fengji Stronghold is requesting aid, and other strongholds are in fierce battles. Only Fengtai Stronghold can send reinforcements; Lord Governor commands that Crane Wings Camp return and join him!"

Lu Ye frowned, "Our Crane Wings Camp does not belong to Fengtai Stronghold."

Implying that Crane Wings Camp was not under Du Feng's command.

Du Quan smiled apologetically, "Lord Governor said, asking Commander Lu to please lend a hand. Furthermore, he has communicated with Lord Zi Ying about this matter and received her permission, which is why I was dispatched here."

Du Feng should not dare to fabricate such matters, so it's likely he indeed communicated with Zi Ying.

However, to be safe, he still picked up the Alliance Guard Token and sent Zi Ying a message for confirmation.

The final result was indeed as Du Quan said; Zi Ying asked him to not go there for now, as her side's pressure wasn't significant.

"The Fengji Stronghold's Governor Li Qi has 6th Order Dao Fusion cultivation. His opponent's strength can't be much worse, so absolutely don't approach their battlefield. Crane Wings Camp only needs to fight those at the Beginner level!" Zi Ying reminded.

Although anyone with the Dao Fusion can become a governor of a stronghold, the strength gap among governors is large as well. Du Feng is only at the 2nd Order, while Li Qi is at the 6th Order.

Lu Ye silently calculated; with 6th Order Dao Fusion, it means Li Qi can harness at least the Power of Seventy Paths. Considering the enhancement from 6th Order Dao Runes, his Power of Seventy Paths can increase the damage even more by six parts.

With such strength, even the current Lu Ye couldn't compare.

Moreover, a strong cultivator like Li Qi must have begun nurturing their Dao soldiers. With the Dao soldiers' enhancement, their strength would be even greater.

A worthy opponent for a cultivator of his caliber is undoubtedly formidable. Such a battlefield between two with Dao Fusion is certainly not one that Crane Wings Camp can intervene in.

Upon confirmation, Lu Ye immediately prepared to lead Crane Wings Camp back.

Du Quan said, "Lord Governor said there's no need to return to Fengtai. Commander Lu can lead his men to join him directly."

Fengtai Stronghold's forces had already gone all-out, and were currently heading toward Fengji under Du Feng's leadership.

Lu Ye understood, turned direction with Crane Wings Camp, and hurried along.

Only half an hour later, they saw from afar a large group of cultivators rushing from the side, led by Du Feng.

Upon meeting, Du Feng laughed heartily, "Commander Lu, I sincerely apologize. With urgent military affairs, I must borrow your unit once more."

"No problem." Lu Ye nodded slightly.

Truthfully, he didn't mind such matters. The reason he agreed to help Zi Ying earlier was to gain Dao Bone cultivation on the battlefield. The more intense the battlefield, the easier it is for Crane Wings Camp to perform, yielding greater rewards.

However, Lu Ye keenly noticed Du Feng's expression was somewhat nervous and uneasy.

This was not surprising; he, being at the 2nd Order Dao Fusion, now had to engage in a battlefield of the 6th Order Dao Fusion, naturally felt anxious. After all, given his timid nature, he wouldn't have fled from battle earlier if not for it.
