As the cold air spins around in the void, it is the moment for the Heavy Weapon Sect to voice their intentions.

As the second-in-command of the Heavy Weapon Sect in the Sword Garden, Elder Ma is their spokesperson. Carrying the residual power of nine people who have traversed the sky, he roars:

"In the name of the Clan Leader..."

The word "order" that should follow suddenly fades. The circulating cold air, theoretically, should not affect people, but at that moment, it seems as if there's a fault in everyone's bodily functions. Hearts skip a beat, and inexplicably, people find it hard to breathe.

Unable to finish his sentence, his momentum is instantly dampened. All the people in the garden are at the Golden Elixir Level and naturally sense this.

"How bizarre!"

Elder Ma feels a chill in his heart. He was once a loose cultivator with a diverse background but limited exposure. However, since joining the Heavy Weapon Sect and witnessing the Clan Leader's incredible techniques, his horizons have expanded. Yet, correspondingly, he harbors a great fear of unexplained phenomena, as is the case now.

But soon, Yu Ci closes his eyes again, takes a moment to recover, and when he opens them, although his gaze is sharp, it no longer carries the piercing coldness from before. He slowly stands up, surveys his surroundings, his demeanor surprisingly calm.

By now, people realize that his Cultivation Level is at most the Initial Stage of Golden Elixir. Among the crowd, his rank is at the bottom. The chilling aura that frightened their souls seems to have been an illusion, completely gone.

However, people like Wen Shifei still subtly shift their positions to maintain a distance from him.

Elder Ma asks, "You have a familiar face, may I know your name?"

"This is Brother Yu Ci from Half Mountain Island..."

Di She speaks first, having failed to act earlier and being startled again, he is quite annoyed. He wants to embarrass Yu Ci by revealing the secrets of Half Mountain Island and Rakshasa, but before he can finish, Di Tianluo's icy gaze silences him.

"Half Mountain Island? Indeed a high-ranking place for Sword cultivation..."

Elder Ma takes a deep breath inside his armor. If this is true, he is not afraid. His gaze sweeps over the forest of thrown spears, gaining absolute confidence. Not to mention, they have an overwhelming advantage in numbers. "By the Clan Leader's order, the Secret Domain is now occupied by our Heavy Weapon Sect. Anyone who lingers within an hour will be executed without mercy!"

As if in sync with his words, as soon as the phrase "without mercy" is spoken, there is a thunderous noise overhead, and the entire Secret Domain trembles slightly. All the Cultivators familiar with the structure of the Three-layer Talisman Seal can feel that deep within the space, two powerful individuals are engaged in fierce combat, triggering the full suppression of the Talisman Seal.

That is not a level they can reach, but the current situation is truly vexing.

Di She was the first to leap forward, scoffing coldly, "The insignificant Heavy Weapon Sect dares to act so boldly?"

Elder Ma, however, remained perfectly composed, merely smiling as he said, "Perhaps in the outside world, the Heavy Weapon Sect is nothing much. But here in the Sword Garden, within the Secret Domain, we nine have a certain confidence."

With that, he waved his hand casually. Among the forest of spears, several Thrown Spears glittered. The Rune Patterns on them flowed with light, no less dazzling than the one in the garden before, which had emitted a fierce aura. Thinking of the awe-inspiring power that had almost torn the void, from Wen Shifei to Incense Slave, everyone felt a chill in their hearts.

The most infuriating thing was that because of Tie Lan and Yu Ci, this small group of five had already fallen apart. Even their combined strength on the surface was probably not enough. No matter how brilliant Wen Shifei and the others were, faced with this situation, apart from frustration, they could only scramble for another solution...

"Go!"

Suddenly, a decisive shout rang in everyone's ears. This shout was practical and hit the nail on the head, catching the mutual thoughts of both sides. Instantly, there was a loud bang. Wen Shifei let out a low howl, and his entire figure shrank nearly ten times in an instant, even losing his human form. Only a Dark Light was seen flying through the sky. On either side of him, Di Tianluo and Di She both turned into twisted beams of light, seizing the opportunity of the Dark Light's flight, attaching themselves to it. It seemed as if they had completely lost their weight, not affecting the speed of the Dark Light's flight at all.

With another thunderous sound, the Dark Light and the two beams of light disappeared out of thin air. A moment later, the spears embedded in the ground began to vibrate, only to be stopped by Elder Ma's wave of his hand:

This story is posted elsewhere by the author. Help them out by reading the authentic version.

"The Black Thunder Shuttle, combined with the repulsion of the Polar Light Primordial Magnetism, indeed has the ability to safely penetrate the void. Let it be, we can't find their location for a while... Moreover, forcing one's way through the void with the Golden Elixir Cultivation Level is likely to be uncomfortable."

Elder Ma knew that this was probably the other party's last-ditch effort to escape. Since this was the case, there was absolutely no way they didn't have a foolproof plan. Furthermore, the influence of the Demonic Sect in the Northern Region did not diminish due to the fragmentation of the Primordial Demon Sect. Even if he wore Heavy Armor and concealed his true identity, he would not want to cause more trouble after this incident.

As for the other two... Elder Ma chuckled. So what if they ran to the end of the garden? No matter how far they ran, without the ability to Shuttle through the Void, it would be in vain!

But that young man seemed a bit strange. He was hesitating whether to probe again when someone spoke through the Sound Transmission Talisman Array inside his helmet.

"What?"

Elder Ma turned his head in surprise. The one speaking to him was a female cultivator on the other side, clad in light armor and wearing a Thunder God Mask. Her Cultivation Level was not outstanding among the disciples, but she was proficient in Talisman and could speak in front of the Clan Leader, so her status was quite special. He couldn't help but believe what she said, and his eyes immediately grew cold as he gave the order:

"Be careful!"

"What's wrong?"

Incense Slave, a female, had put away the Escape Light, liberating the two from their illusory state. The surrounding distorted void was like the gaping maw of a demon, ready to swallow them whole at any moment. Yu Ci, a male, was standing right next to one, seemingly oblivious. Despite the vast open space on one side, he chose to stand at the brink of danger, unmoving.

It was the same before. A single command to "go" had scattered Wen Shifei and the others, yet he remained still. If she hadn't reacted in time to pull him out, he might have already been slaughtered in the bullet storm by the Heavy Weapon Sect.

Yu Ci responded in a nonchalant manner, "My eyesight isn't too good."

"What?"

At that moment, Elder Ma was giving orders. Nine Armored Cultivators each picked up a Thrown Spear from the ground, forming a semi-circle, slowly closing in. Behind Elder Ma's helmet, his eyes were gleaming fiercely as he barked:

"Friends from Half Mountain Island, stop trying to break the Talisman Seal. If you don't back down, don't blame my men for being ruthless!"

"If you can help me stop this, I'll be grateful."

Yu Ci replied lazily, then leaned towards Incense Slave and whispered, "Come here, I need to ask you something."

Incense Slave, puzzled, unconsciously moved closer. Yu Ci then asked, "Tell me, what's the issue between the Half Mountain Island's fairy Ye Bin and your sect?"

"..."

After a long silence, the Heavy Weapon Sect's killing intent was already stacking up. However, knowing that Yu Ci was not the type to court death, Incense Slave put her worries aside. She activated the trump card she had prepared in secret, responding indifferently:

"Our sect's God Lord Yin Female Figure has a penchant for women. Didn't you know?"

This kind of matter was not a disgrace in the Rakshasa Sect. On the contrary, it was a topic of delight among the disciples. Even though they were discussing the God Lord's private affairs, everyone knew that the God Lord was not bothered by such matters. In fact, she always seemed to enjoy it, and boasting about it might even be more effective than reciting prayers.

Sure enough, when this topic was brought up, the Fuse that had just connected with the Endless Void solidified considerably. That great being had sensed the stimulation here and was looking over.

Yu Ci was genuinely taken aback, then blurted out:

"Nonsense!"

Incense Slave smirked, finding his reaction particularly amusing. Just as she was about to say something else, a powerful force hit her chest. She was caught off guard and stumbled backward. Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but a sudden change occurred behind her. A previously tiny Void Rift was suddenly torn open by a massive force. The turbulence caused by the void's instability swept her up and swallowed her whole.

The female cultivator exclaimed in horror, "How could he strike so suddenly..."

Before her thought could complete, she was swallowed by a surging chaos. The previously established "connection" was instantly severed due to the spatial shift. For a moment, she could only focus on drawing Qi to protect her body, unable to care about anything else.

A dizzying whirl later, and a loud "thud" echoed in her ears as her shoulder brutally collided with a solid cliff. She let out a painful groan. Her reflexes were quick as she knew the taboos in a strange environment. She immediately focused her divine sense to grasp information about her surroundings.

However, she soon became stunned. This place was not unfamiliar, but rather too familiar. At her feet lay a corpse with a smashed skull, and the cliffs around were covered with deep sword marks. What was more, at the end of the cave, a dazzling golden light shone - a sight hard to forget for anyone who had been here.

"Predestined Geng Metal energy... Sunken Sword Cave?"

Just as she was surprised, a long howl suddenly rose from the golden light, "Despicable villain, you cannot trap us after all!"

Then the light scattered, and several figures rushed out one after another, coming face to face with the Incense Slave in the cave. Both sides were stunned.

"A Rakshasa witch?"

"Half-Mountain Ye Ming?"

The Incense Slave groaned inwardly, not bothering to exchange pleasantries, she turned to leave, "Yu Ci, hello!"

Yu Ci couldn't care less about the Incense Slave's thoughts for now. After all, he had just saved the female cultivator from danger, repaying the favor he owed her.

Of course, temporarily resolving an unpredictable trouble was also nice.

When Yu Ci said his eyes were not good, it was not a lie. Of course, it wasn't that he couldn't see, but even though his eyes were open, all he saw was emptiness, with endless Talisman Pattern Fractals flowing in front of him.

But his senses were sharper. He could feel that his actions had stirred up murderous intent from the Heavy Weapon Sect. Those people finally abandoned all restraints and threw out their spears.

In fact, Yu Ci could indeed plunge into the newly opened Void Rift, but on one hand, the new unwelcome guest in his Inner Void of the Heart detested this choice. That pure but strong thought kept throbbing in his heart. On the other hand, Yu Ci needed to prove it wrong with facts:

"Let's see who is right and who is wrong!"

He didn't dodge or hide, but swung his empty hand. The sky full of Talisman Pattern Fractals in front of him shattered, leaving only a bone-chilling Cold Gleam that pierced the sky and earth, extending with a hissing sound.

Seeing the Cold Gleam, Elder Ma subconsciously squinted his eyes, but then, the oncoming Blood Light completely blurred his vision...

...
