Nearly nine months had passed, and Lu Yiye of the Righteous Blood Sect was once again thrust into the limelight—this time, the situation was far more serious than the last battle at Golden Light Peak.
The battle over Golden Light Peak had been triggered by an imminent evaluation of sects' grades. Ten Thousand Demons Ridge intended to completely disqualify the Righteous Blood Sect. Therefore, many strong cultivators from the inner and core circles disregarded the rules and their own reputations, forcefully stepping forth to eliminate Lu Ye from the outer circle.
However, under the successive protection of various sects in the Haotian Alliance, Lu Ye had repeatedly escaped catastrophe. Eventually, both sides confronted each other at Golden Light Peak, where Lu Ye proposed—and many Spirit Stream Ranking powerhouses witnessed—the signing of the Heaven's Augury Pact, leading to a battle on the stage.
