The specter vanished, and Lu Ye led his four-member squad to the purple talisman, reaching out to grab it. However, when he was about ten inches away, he encountered an invisible barrier.

This was the restriction of the treasure!

He smoothly turned his claw into a palm, placing it on the restriction, and channeled his spirit force into it.

When someone interferes, breaking this restriction isn't easy, but without interference, it was quick. In just the time of twenty breaths, the restriction dissolved, and Lu Ye raised his hand to grab the purple talisman.

Carefully examining it, he confirmed without a doubt that this purple talisman indeed came from the Dwarf Race.

Looking up at his four companions, Cai Yue smiled slightly: "Fellow Daoist, feel free to keep it. We sisters have no objection."

If it weren't for Lu Ye rescuing them earlier, they would have been eliminated long ago. Now, being able to form an alliance with Lu Ye and run rampant is already a gain. The sisters indeed don't have many thoughts about this purple talisman, even though they know it's very valuable!

Little Dumb and Little Crooked also hurriedly expressed that they had no objections.

The same principle applies; they all know that following Lu Ye would bring gains in terms of achievements. Without Lu Ye, with their Early Stage cultivation, they would be nothing. They would likely have been eliminated early on. Calculating it this way, they have already gained a lot and wouldn't dare to ask for more.

"All the spoils, once we leave this place, I will have them appraised and contact you for profit sharing!" Lu Ye spoke.

How others express themselves is their own business, but for Lu Ye, since they are acting together, the gains should naturally be shared together.

He is not one to habitually take everything for himself, and compared to his overall plan, the gains from this trip to the Melee Battle Meet are just fragments.

"Let's go!" Lu Ye called, leading the array forward.

He needed to rush to the next battlefield. Opportunities are rare, so the more he could showcase the power of the array disc, the better.

Earlier, more than one purple talisman appeared. Because of Lu Ye's squad's strong performance, victory was already determined for this battlefield, but other spots were still fiercely contested.

The distance wasn't close, but Lu Ye estimated it was enough for him to reach the second nearest battlefield.

And indeed it was, when he arrived with his squad of four, the purple talisman was still present on this battlefield. However, the fighting wasn't as intense as before.

After all, the weaker squads had already been eliminated or had retreated, leaving only the strong ones.

Currently, three squads of similar strength were still competing here, each hampering the others. If any party attempted to collect the purple talisman, the other two would attack in unison, leading to a rather awkward situation.

In such cases, reaching a conclusion would be difficult. The best solution would be for two squads to secretly ally and take out the third, but without sufficient trust, this approach was challenging to realize.

When Lu Ye's five-member squad entered this battlefield, the three squads immediately took notice.

Each squad used their Mental Consciousness to sweep over and found that the newcomers were comprised of one mid-stage and four Early Stage cultivators. They were greatly surprised because there weren't many Early Stage participants in the Melee Battle Meet. After two or three days of elimination, a significant portion had already left, and the remaining ones either relied on powerful experts or formed partnerships with familiar people.

Hence, at most, a squad would have one Constellation Early Stage member, and any more would be a burden.

Seeing four Early Stage members traveling together was naturally intriguing.

The cultivators from the three squads didn't take the newcomers seriously. The nearest squad even turned around to confront them, clearly intending to tackle Lu Ye's squad first to claim some spoils.

While the three squads didn't know the depth of Lu Ye's squad, the cultivators watching from the Constellation Palace were well aware. This seemingly weak squad was the winner on the previous battlefield. Seeing the squad approaching Lu Ye's team unwittingly, they knew they were in trouble.

They couldn't help feeling indignant. Fa Wuzun, that cunning guy, maintained the squad's formation, but there was no sign of them forming the array. They were lazily advancing, looking more like they were offering heads rather than fighting for things.

As the distance between them closed, the expected scenario, as foreseen by the watching cultivators, unfolded.

The female cultivator responsible for the array disc suddenly raised it high over her head, and in an instant, the five people's auras linked, and as spirit force surged, a spirit force giant turtle appeared out of thin air.

This sudden change stunned the approaching cultivators.

The leader immediately shouted, "Be careful!"

They initially thought it was just five clueless fools, who would have expected them to form an array in the blink of an eye!

By the time they were alert, it was already too late. With the appearance of the spirit force giant turtle, the sound of swords echoing, and amidst dazzling sword light, two streams of swords swept from the sides, encircling the incoming foes.

The cultivation of the Star Moon Sisters was lacking, so the killing power of the sword streams wasn't very strong. However, with the help of the array, it was ultimately more powerful than their individual abilities, barely reaching the level of a mid-stage cultivator's attack.

This was almost on par with the level they displayed when executing their joint strike technique.

Such an offensive naturally couldn't pose a significant threat to the oncoming enemy, but it was sufficient to harass them.

Taking advantage of their distraction battling the sword stream, the giant turtle swiftly charged forward, instantly pouncing in front of the leading Constellation Late Stage player.

In an instant, the Late Stage player's face turned ashen because, mysteriously, he felt an immense threat descending upon him, as if a giant Black Tortoise beast had truly opened its ferocious mouth at him!

Blade light burst forth, a massive force swept through, a sharp aura approached his body; even though he was a Late Stage physique cultivator, within two breaths, his protective spirit force was shattered, his blood Qi roiled, he roared in fury, yet was still hard-pressed to withstand the violent killing power.

The giant turtle's assault was unrelenting, the ferocious beast crushed over the bleeding remains of the physique cultivator, its enormous form enveloping the cultivators behind him.

After a fleeting moment of chaos, the expressions of the remaining two squads' cultivators turned aghast, for the squad, which was on par with them, was as fragile as paper against an As-Close-As-Siblings Array composed of one mid-stage and four Early Stages.

To know this was the Black Tortoise Array, renowned for its protective capabilities, though it possessed notable killing power, it was not its primary focus.

Who are these guys...?

The Black Tortoise Array led by Lu Ye, after dealing with the first squad, immediately advanced toward the second squad. The cultivators of this squad hadn't initially taken them seriously, but having witnessed the tragedy, how could they not recognize the prowess of the Black Tortoise Array?

Not daring to linger, the leading cultivator gave a low shout and immediately fled into the distance.

Lu Ye glanced over but did not pursue, instead charging toward the third team.

The third squad made the same choice as the second one...

In an instant, the originally stalemated situation was broken by Lu Ye's squad's arrival, leaving the vast battlefield with only Lu Ye's squad remaining.

Just like before, they approached the purple talisman and put it away.

"Recover!" Lu Ye commanded.

He himself didn't need much recovery, but the four Early Stage temporary allies around him did, and he estimated that quite a few people might be watching his squad right now, so even if just for show, he had to pretend to recover.

Furthermore, for cultivators at their level, the pure energy that descended with the purple talisman on this battlefield was also an invaluable resource that could help cultivators rapidly grow in strength.

Some cultivators came to this battlefield not to compete for treasures but to refine this pure energy.

While he was recovering, in the Constellation Palace, news about the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc began to spread far and wide, with many knowing that a highly unusual squad had appeared on the Melee Battle Meet battlefield. The squad consisted of one mid-stage leading four Early Stages, yet wherever they went, they faced no rivals, and the root of it all seemed to lie in an array disc.

The disc possessed extremely enigmatic power, allowing one to easily form an array formation, so even though the squad's overall strength wasn't high, with the array's assistance, they could weakly defeat the strong.

Countless eyes searched for Lu Ye's squad, and when found, they all brightened.

The criteria Lu Ye set when choosing his teammates undoubtedly played a role right now; apart from him leading, all four were stunning beauties, even the silly-looking Little Dumb appeared impeccable in appearance and figure.

This gave an overly strong visual appeal.

Moreover, human nature tends to resonate with the weak, so the cultivators watching Lu Ye's squad eagerly anticipated the numerous performances of these four women in the upcoming events.

After all, they were not competitors; if others met misfortune, they watched for entertainment, how delightful!

Most people were watching for fun, but the many cultivators from each major faction focused on the array disc itself, already planning on how to contact Fa Wuzun after this Melee Battle Meet to discuss purchasing the array disc.

Some were so impatient they started probing people who knew Fa Wuzun, hoping to quickly establish contact with him.

Chu Shen was plagued with troubles because he had previously mentioned that Fa Wuzun was like an elder brother to him, which many overheard, leading many to find his side.

To him, the array disc already bore the surname Chu! With so many people coveting a treasure belonging to the Chu family, did they not have him in their eyes at all?

Indeed, not many people minded him—being the young master from Cheling World, a child of a Sun Blaze powerhouse, sounded impressive when said out loud, but Chu Shen hadn't made a name for himself. Perhaps cultivators from this home galaxy knew him, but most people were unaware of his existence.

Only when Chu Shen revealed his identity, mentioning Jiu Yan's name, did the chattering crowd quiet down.

Yet it also made cultivators from various major factions feel an increasing sense of crisis; Jiu Yan was the Sun Blaze of this home galaxy and had deep ties with the All Phenomena Merchants Guild. If Jiu Yan intervened, wouldn't that mean the All Phenomena Merchants Guild also had their eye on this array disc?

For the factions determined to obtain this mystical array disc, it was not good news, and it would undoubtedly add a strong new competitor!
