Chapter 279 Catching the Cat
Amber would take up five, Lu Ye roughly three to four, and Giant Shell would have swallowed one or two!Moreover, amber itself is a monster and has learned from the Giant Shell to practice the way of s...Streams of magical techniques and weapons flashed and bombarded, attacking from all directions. The battle raged fiercely, and the remaining Wanmo Ridge cultivators wore expressions of utter despair.
This chase has been going on for two days now. Over the course of those two days, they've clashed four times, each time ending with a rout of the Wan Mo Ling forces.
In the beginning, Wanmo Ridge still had some fighting capacity. However, as the number of cultivators dwindled, Wanmo Ridge now has no capital to confront the Haotiantian Alliance. The disparity in numbers is too great.
By this time, there were less than thirty cultivators still alive in the Wan Mo Ridge.
Like the sound of the mountains' echo, they had been defeated and killed by the Celestial Alliance in the previous battle. Now these thirty remained, led by Wind Flower Courtyard Chūqing, struggling to defend themselves.
All knew that they were surely doomed to die if things went on as they were.
To survive, we have to break out!
They quickly did so, probing the weak points of the Heavenly Alliance's encirclement. Led by Chu Qing, thirty people rushed toward that direction.
Such a breakthrough was unstoppable by the Heavenly Alliance because there were only over a hundred people in the Heavenly Alliance at the moment, and the encirclement they formed was not tight.
After an incense stick's worth of time, the crowd from Wàn Mó Lǐng made a sudden break for it. Of the thirty people, only twenty remained, all gasping for breath as they desperately fled forward.
Since there were no pursuers behind them, the survivors let out a sigh of relief. However, they dared not stop and, under the leadership of Chu Qing, continued to flee forward, hoping to get as far away from the Haotian Alliance as possible.
On the ravaged battlefield, Ji Yan found Lu Ye and said with a smile, "I have lived up to expectations."
Of course, the Haotang League has the capacity to pursue them. However, the effectiveness of such a pursuit is unknown. After all, they are not dead and won't simply stand there waiting to be killed. The most likely outcome is a cat-and-mouse chase that leaves everyone exhausted.
Besides, it was Lu Ye's idea to let that batch of people from Chūqíng go.
"I will keep an eye on their movements," Ji Yan said again.
"Thank you." Lu Ye nodded. "Also, please take good care of that white cat as well."
"It's a small matter." Ji Yan laughed heartily, it was clear that he was in a very good mood at the moment.
After a slight adjustment, Lu Ye led the giant rhinoceros away.
Two people have to go find the cat, this is very troublesome.
Lu Ye had only seen the white cat once so far. As a result, he and Giant Shell attacked together, but they still couldn't catch it. The little thing was too fast.
How to catch that cat, Lu Ye already had a plan in mind, but whether it would work or not, he had to try it. The most difficult thing right now was how to find it.

At least there were still quite a few people left on the side of the Haotian Alliance. Lu Ye had entrusted Ji Yan with the task of having the members of the Haotian Alliance search in different directions. As for those remnants of the Wanmo Ridge… let's just ignore them for now and leave them be. They probably wouldn't dare to jump out carelessly at this point.
"...until you find the white cat, bring it back to the woman in red and let her break free from her bonds. Then she'll be able to tend to things like Haru and the others."
If we really can't find it, then we can only let the people of the Haoxian Alliance continue to besiege them. Anyway, no matter what, those people from Wanmo Ridge won't be able to leave Xianyu City alive.
Along the way, because of consecutive battles and losses of the spirit companions, they were replenished. As for the white cat, there was no sign of it.

Until one day later, Ji Yan suddenly sent a message saying that someone had seen the white cat.

With a surge of spirits, Lu Ye immediately led the giant armored beast towards that direction.
After half an hour, Lu Ye connected with a ghost cultivator. Following the other's lead, they moved quietly until reaching a corner. The ghost cultivator stopped, poked his head out to look around, then retracted and said, "It's right over there."
Lu Ye followed the sound and saw the white cat. It was curled up on a rooftop, sleeping soundly.

"Well done."
"
A giant hand reached out towards it, but grasped at empty air.

The giant was enraged, slapping his own head with a mighty hand. The white cat had already jumped away, landing not far behind him, and then strutted forward with a smug gait. In contrast, the giant’s head was knocked askew by his own blow.
As it went forward, it still couldn't help but look back at Lu Ye's face, which was gloomy.

Just as it was feeling incredibly smug, a sudden sense of crisis arose. The white cat's fur stood on end, and with a hiss, it vanished without a trace. Where it had disappeared, the space seemed to warp and distort, with a glimpse of a rocky landscape flashing past.

Yiyī raised her hand and with a flick, the Nine Realms Diagram that had been placed here in advance was drawn back. She channeled her power into it, unfolding it toward Lü Yè. Lü Yè called out to Amber, asking it to first put away the spirit companions, then together they dove into the Nine Realms Diagram.
The is the last safeguard and also a flaw left by Lu Ye. He deliberately placed the giant mecha in this position because, from a previous encounter, he felt that this white cat had high intelligence. Once surrounded, it would most likely break out in the direction of the giant mecha.
What he didn't expect was that this guarantee would actually come in handy.
He thought that with so many auxiliary spirits, capturing this white cat should be no problem at all.

The giant mech walked up to Yiyi's side, but didn't go in. He wanted to stay here to protect Yiyi and maintain the operation of the Nine Realms Diagram. Yiyi couldn't be distracted, and he needed to be able to respond to any danger that might arise.

Looking into the nine realms diagram, I saw that many figures had appeared on the chaotic landscape of rocky terrain. These figures were constantly crisscrossing and maneuvering within the small diagram, and occasionally patterns resembling spirit binding chains would appear as well.
For nearly half an hour, Yiyi only shook the Nine Realms Diagram. Lu Ye appeared, but his face was gloomy, with several scratches on it.

The white cat was being held by the scruff of its neck, unable to move. Its eyes were filled with tears, as if it had been deeply wronged.
"Let's go," Lu Ye called out, leading the way towards the direction of the woman in red.
The white cat wasn't unwilling to run, but whenever it moved, Lu Ye would send a wave of spiritual energy its way. The feeling of being eroded by that scorching power was unpleasant. After several tries, the white cat could only accept its fate.
When it was not yet too late, he came to the small courtyard where the woman in red lived.
