"It’s me!"

Qin Fengxian smiled slightly, landing in front of Chu Rulai: "We received the news and heard Brother Chu wanted to head north to Central Earth, so we came to assist. Hmm? Your current situation seems a bit precarious."

Chu Rulai felt both surprised and doubtful at these words.

He tightly gripped the hilt of his sword, looking warily at the Iron Spear Invincible in front of him: "What virtue or ability does I possess to warrant the personal assistance of you two?"

The two in front of him were super-grade martial artists who had pushed past the Human-God Boundary!

Their combat power was above middle-level supers!

Although they had experienced death once, judging from their complexions, they seemed to have recovered well after being revived.

Who helped them?

The Divine Blade Sect?

The Divine Blade Sect had been hunted for years by the Formless Divine Sect and was pushed aside due to various sects siding with Chu Xisheng, so they probably didn’t have the financial power, nor the ability.

Qin Fengxian understood the deeper meaning behind Chu Rulai’s words and laughed heartily: "Brother, don’t think too much. A former Minister of the Ministry of Justice, ranked at most top twenty on the Heavenly List, is naturally not enough to warrant our personal attendance. However, you are one of the enemies that Chu Xisheng is determined to eliminate, which bears significant weight."

Chu Rulai instantly understood.

There should be many who don’t want Chu Xisheng to complete his Secret Rite of Vengeance.

Now, Shu Huai Shi, the "Supreme Blade," also landed beside Qin Fengxian from the air: "We should leave. This is Guiyuan Sword Sect territory. Moreover, Chu Xisheng’s escape skill is extraordinary. If he decides to act, he can kill within moments!"

He also looked Chu Rulai up and down, then frowned deeply: "You’re injured? Who did this? Mr. Qin, the remaining Martial Intent on him looks like techniques from your Qin Family."

"It was ’Thousand Martial Divine Machine’ Qin Xiyang."

Chu Rulai’s face was somewhat bleak: "When entering Iron State, she caught up with me, and we fought for about 15 minutes. She has also mastered the first move of the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade. I was eager to escape, burnt Primordial Qi, and ended in a draw with her."

Fortunately, Qin Xiyang hasn’t broken through to First Grade yet.

It wasn’t on the battlefield either; Qin Xiyang couldn’t gather enemy intent to kill, otherwise, I would have already fallen at the Iron State border.

Upon hearing the name Qin Xiyang, Qin Fengxian’s face turned slightly pale.

None of his brother’s descendants have made life easy for him.

The sisters of Qin Muge have become his toughest opponents.

Shu Huai Shi then turned to Qin Fengxian: "This might be troublesome."

It’s likely that those pursuing Chu Rulai aren’t just Qin Xiyang.

He fears someone might use the remaining Martial Intent to lock onto Chu Rulai’s position.

Chu Xisheng is invincible in group battles, and Chu Yunyun practically has no rivals in the Mortal World.

If Chu Rulai’s location is exposed, they might not only fail to protect him but could also get caught themselves.

Qin Fengxian pondered briefly, then let out a light chuckle: "I know a place where we can temporarily hide, concealing their perception. We can also remove the residual Martial Intent from Brother Chu’s body here, which shouldn’t take long."

If the one who harmed Chu Rulai was Qin Muge, he would leave immediately.

With Qin Xiyang, he was not concerned.

Qin Fengxian first transformed into tunneling light, flying towards the northwest.

Chu Rulai hesitated slightly but followed after them.

Both were sworn enemies of Chu Xisheng and Chu Yunyun, and could be trusted.

About half a moment later, they entered a mist-shrouded valley.

"Here it is."

Qin Fengxian stopped his tunneling light and took out a purple-gold token from his sleeve: "Make sure to cover your entire body with True Yuan."

As he spoke, his figure disappeared right before Chu Rulai’s eyes.

Shu Huai Shi did the same, vanishing from Chu Rulai’s perception shortly after.

Chu Rulai was secretly astonished and followed Qin Fengxian’s instructions, enveloping himself in True Yuan and moving forward.

In the next moment, his surroundings transformed into a different world.

From outside the valley, it appeared to be a densely vegetated primitive valley of around seventy miles.

But once inside, he saw a vast space nearly 1,500 square miles in area, with thirty-six grand and imposing halls built on the broad plains.

Inside, a massive array was functioning.

The purpose of the formation was unclear, but it filled the space with rich Heaven and Earth Primordial Spirit, making Chu Rulai instinctively trembling and feel a strong threat.

"What is this?"

Chu Rulai felt a surge of confusion and uncertainty.

He never knew there was such a place within the Iron Wall Mountain Range.

Judging by the scale of the formation here, it’s even stronger than those protective arrays of First Grade Divine Sects.

"This is the Chan Sect Headquarters! Only members of the Chan Sect can enter here. You might also consider this a graveyard."

Qin Fengxian’s gaze was somewhat complex: "You can take a look inside."

Following Qin Fengxian’s words, Chu Rulai charged True Yuan into his eyes, peered into the corners of those halls.

These halls had no doors, allowing him to easily pierce through the mist and see what’s inside.

"Stone coffins?"

Chu Rulai was startled.

Inside, densely arranged stone coffins filled the halls, with no fewer than a hundred in each.

It’s not just the stone coffins; the faint energy emitted from them and the Heavenly Rules intersecting them made him feel awed.
