"Villain, stop running, put down the Demon Sect Hierarch!"

A shout echoed through the forest, and instantly a group of people charged towards the few running ahead.

Four people were fleeing in front, three men and a woman; one of them was a burly middle-aged man with a face full of anxiety, and among the two younger men, one was the Zoroastrian Sect Hierarch, Little Ming King.

Little Ming King at the time was not running on his own feet but was being carried by another young man, who was no ordinary person - he was the Young Sect Leader of Overseas Divine Dragon Sect, Fang Zheng.

As for the woman, it was none other than the Divine Dragon Sect Saintess, Fang Susu.

The pursuers behind them were none other than the representatives of the Six Great Sects who had secretly climbed up from the back mountain.

The encounter was a result of earlier events; Little Ming King was staying in the Zoroastrian Sect’s Ming King Hall, pondering his path forward when the Six Great Sects surrounded him. Without any words, they attempted to capture him.

Little Ming King was terrified at the time, but fortunately, there were several guards by his side, elite members of the sect, who, upon seeing the encirclement, immediately charged forward, risking their lives to fight the Six Great Sects and protect the Hierarch.

Little Ming King, scared, turned on his heel and fled. Just as disaster seemed imminent, unexpectedly, reinforcements arrived, and he encountered Lei Ming and the Fang siblings sent by the Dragon King.

Seeing the Six Great Sects closing in, the group had no choice but to flee quickly. However, Little Ming King was too weak and inexperienced, and seeing the approaching Six Great Sects shouting to kill, his legs turned to jelly.

Seeing this, Fang Zheng immediately carried Little Ming King and continued running.

The group then rushed into this forest.

The Six Great Sects drew closer; it was known that Fang Zheng and Fang Susu were at the Dragon Peak level, not yet reaching the Molten Furnace Realm. Even though Lei Ming was at the Middle Melting Furnace Realm, facing six Sect Leader Level experts from the Six Great Sects, he had no chance of victory.

Moreover, Fang Zheng was carrying Little Ming King, reducing his speed, allowing the Six Great Sects to catch up in the forest.

Whoosh~

A speedy Qinggong sound was heard, and in the next moment, a figure leaped over Lei Ming’s group, blocking their path with a graceful turn and said, "Everyone, this is the end of the road!"

Lei Ming and the others saw a person dressed in Taoist robes, exuding an aura of carefree elegance, holding a longsword, his gaze like lightning, blocking the way.

It was none other than the acting Sect Leader of Wudang, the leading disciple of Master Zhang, Earth List’s second ranking Wudang Song Yuanqiao, Hero Song.

Song Yuanqiao, holding the Wudang Zhenwu Sword, blocked their path. His ability to be the first to intercept them was simple; first, Song Yuanqiao had profound skill, at Half-step Melting God Realm.

The second reason was Wudang’s Qinggong, Cloud Stepping, undoubtedly the fastest among equal level Qinggong techniques, showing Wudang disciples generally excelled in speed over other sects, thanks to Elder Zhang’s legacy.

The group surrounded Lei Ming and others.

"Amitabha Buddha!"

Shaolin Kong Wen Master stepped forward, Emei’s Master Jue Mie showed a face full of hostility upon seeing Little Ming King, unable to express the mix of old and new grudges. This was Han Shantong’s child, causing her senior sister Gu Hongzi to retreat from the world, lonely until the end. This hatred, Jue Mie had to avenge.

Little Ming King was that man’s illegitimate offspring, he must repay with blood!

Shaolin and Emei blocked the retreat.

At this moment, Lei Ming attempted to escape to the right, but unexpectedly a sinister voice sounded: "Sichuan Tang Sect welcomes you all to your death!"

Lei Ming then tried to break through to the left, but another voice sounded: "Five Mountains Sword Alliance Zuo Buqun is here, Demon Sect villain, where do you think you’re going?"

"Kunlun Chang Xuzi is here, Demon Sect villain, where do you think you’re going!"

In an instant, the Six Great Sects arrived completely, surrounding Lei Ming’s group.

From the back, disciples joined their respective sects’ formation, during which Zhang Cuishan arrived and was shocked when seeing the ones rescuing Little Ming King.

"Susu!"

Zhang Cuishan saw Fang Susu, Fang Susu also saw Zhang Cuishan; a pair of young lovers united against a backdrop of tension and confrontation.

The scene was witnessed by the surrounding crowd.

Master Jue Mie frowned and asked, "Fifth Hero Zhang, do you know this demoness?"

Zhang Cuishan hesitated, he wanted to say she was his beloved, but in this situation, with righteousness against evil, he represents Wudang’s reputation, while Fang Susu is a demoness of the Demon Sect. Torn between sect duties and personal affection, what choice could he make?

Fang Susu hadn’t expected to encounter Zhang Cuishan in such a confrontation between righteousness and evil, leaving her unsure how to react. In her heart, she hoped Zhang Cuishan would acknowledge her as his beloved.

But love wasn’t selfish; she preferred the best for him. She didn’t want Zhang Cuishan to acknowledge her because if he did, he would be seen by all of Jianghu as different, as fallen. Yet she valued sentiments, valued her sect; such a choice was incredibly tough.

Fang Susu gazed at Zhang Cuishan, knowing she could accept whatever he decided.

Zhang Cuishan was deeply conflicted; he didn’t want to betray his sect, nor did he want to betray his beloved, leaving him in a dilemma.
