Just as Lu Ye had guessed before, Ten Thousand Demons Ridge was indeed using this method to probe his situation.
After waiting for three days, Lu Ye still hadn't been poisoned to death. Those from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge dared not delve too deep into the Ten Thousand Poisons Forest and, unable to find Lu Ye's whereabouts, could only resort to challenging him through the Spirit Stream Ranking.
Lu Yiye accepted the challenge, but forfeited two hours later, which undoubtedly indicated one thing—his condition was absolutely not good; otherwise, there was no reason not to fight before forfeiting.
You see, a challenge on the Spirit Stream Ranking doesn't necessarily have to result in death. With the operation of Heaven's Augury, if one realizes they are no match, they merely need to shout surrender to escape the small space of the challenge and thus preserve their life.
