Chapter 227: Be Fair
Hua Ci and Cao Huahong had divided the enhancements from the Heaven's Augury Pillar of the Phong family; then, hundreds of cultivators began to retreat in an orderly fashion. As usual, Lu Ye covered their retreat alone. He cast the Fire Dragon Technique repeatedly, using the wild surge of spirit force to attract the attention of the Insect Race.
