Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Above the Ancient City, the sky seemed to press down, heavy and oppressive.

BOOM!

Several Array Discs suddenly materialized in the air. Vast amounts of Primordial Qi swirled around them, radiating outward and blasting away the clouds. As the immense cloud cover scattered, the entire sky turned bright and clear.

"The Array Discs have appeared!"

"Quick, those are the Array Discs!"

...

The entire Ancient City was stirred into a frenzy. People from several nations rushed toward the location where the Array Discs had appeared.

Wenren Xiao looked up at the Array Discs and said with a smile, "My Yuqi Kingdom already has five Array Discs. I imagine that after we get two more this time, everyone from the Yuqi Kingdom will have one."

Wen Qingye had killed dozens of people with a single sword strike, and all their Talisman Seals had been divided between Wenren Xiao and Lin Zijun. As a result, everyone from the Yuqi Kingdom and the Sang Country now possessed a considerable number of Talisman Seals.

Lin Zijun nodded and said casually, "I don’t care about any of that. After all, no one can stand against the two of us together. The only thing I want is the Exotic Treasure in Wen Qingye’s hands."

"I happen to have a way to force Wen Qingye to show himself, provided he hasn’t already left the Thousand Rivers Secret Land," Wenren Xiao said softly, a smile playing on his lips.

Lin Zijun’s brow furrowed. "Are you talking about the people from the Celestial Martial Country?"

Wenren Xiao clasped his hands behind his back, speaking with complete confidence. "That’s right. The Celestial Martial Country is just a minor nation. So what if we slaughter them all? If Wen Qingye dared to stand alone for Guann Xuan, he will certainly appear for the people of the Celestial Martial Country."

At this moment, the surrounding experts slowly gathered, their expressions tense.

Tong Tian’s expression darkened the moment he saw Wenren Xiao and Lin Zijun.

"These five Array Discs today—I’ll be taking them!" Wenren Xiao declared, taking a domineering step forward and scanning the crowd with a smile.

Everyone stared, momentarily stunned.

Tong Tian stepped forward and said coldly, "Wenren Xiao, don’t push everyone else into a dead end. Even a cornered rat will fight back."

Wenren Xiao, still smiling, looked at Tong Tian. "Tong Tian, I don’t want to kill you. But don’t think for a second that I don’t dare to."

"You!"

Seeing the cold glint in Wenren Xiao’s eyes, Tong Tian instinctively took several steps back. But as he looked up at the five Array Discs circling in the sky, he was filled with bitter reluctance.

Zhou Yuling bit her lip, feeling just as helpless. Her strength was even less than Tong Tian’s; she was no match for Wenren Xiao.

The experts from the various nations exchanged glances. But with Luoo Ying slain by Wen Qingye and Guann Xuan missing—and most likely dead—Wenren Xiao, at the Refining Spirit Eighth Layer Heaven, completely overpowered them all.

Historically, whenever a peerless genius appeared in the Thousand Rivers Secret Land, one whose power surpassed all the nations, this place would become a battlefield under their absolute rule.

And right now, Wenren Xiao was the master of this battlefield—invincible among the nations!

Yann Chuxue gazed at the Array Discs in the sky, her elegant brows arching slightly. She gripped her sword tightly, a thin film of sweat forming on her palm.

HISS! HISS!

The Primordial Qi on the Array Discs was rapidly dissipating as they began to descend. Seeing this, Wenren Xiao leaped into the air, rushing toward the five Array Discs.

"Let’s attack together! If we don’t seize them now, the Thousand Rivers Secret Land will be over, and the Array Discs will be gone!"

Tong Tian shouted to the people around him, then sprinted toward the Array Disc furthest from Wenren Xiao.

Tong Tian’s words had a miraculous effect. Hearing him, the experts from the other nations felt a jolt of resolve and charged toward the Array Discs in the sky.

Seeing the crowd move, Wenren Xiao let out a cold laugh. "Courting death!"

Wenren Xiao’s palm floated in the air. Instantly, the Primordial Qi before him vibrated, forming concentric ripples that coalesced into a halo of light.

"Go!"

With a push from Wenren Xiao, the halo of light shot toward the crowd.

Wherever the halo passed, the compressed air let out a hissing sound.

BANG! BANG! BANG!

Wenren Xiao unleashed the full might of his cultivation as a Refining Spirit Eighth Layer Heaven master. His opponents only had two experts at the Refining Spirit Sixth Layer Heaven; how could they possibly block a full-powered attack from him?

With a single move, Wenren Xiao knocked back dozens of people. Only now did the experts from the various nations truly feel his power. They were all horrified.

"Wenren Xiao... he’s so strong!"

"He’s too strong! We can’t stop him at all!"

"He forced back all thirteen of us with a single move."

Watching the crowd retreat, Wenren Xiao laughed loudly, stretched out his hand, and grabbed one of the Array Discs.

’Who here can possibly be my opponent now? All I have to do is force Wen Qingye to show himself, and then his Exotic Treasure will be mine. This trip to the Thousand Rivers Secret Land will be a perfect success.’

At that moment, Lin Zijun walked up to Wenren Xiao’s side and reached for two of the nearby Array Discs.

"Hold on, Zijun," Wenren Xiao said, his voice still brimming with smiles, yet carrying an undeniable tone of command. "My Yuqi Kingdom is still short on these Array Discs. How about I give some to your Sang Country the next time they appear?"

Lin Zijun froze, a flicker of resentment flashing in his eyes. ’Wenren Xiao, are you really casting me aside now that you’ve gotten what you want?’ On the surface, however, Lin Zijun just smiled. "Fine. Whatever you say."

Wenren Xiao swept his gaze over the crowd, a look of utter disdain in his eyes. He had always maintained the image of a smiling, humble gentleman, but at this moment, that image was completely shattered in everyone’s minds.

Wenren Xiao watched the last Array Disc slowly descend from the sky. He clasped his hands behind his back, looking as if its capture was a foregone conclusion. He was confident that no one here could take this Array Disc that was rightfully his.

Suddenly, Wenren Xiao’s eyes shifted to Yann Chuxue, who was cautiously approaching.

"Want this Array Disc?" Wenren Xiao asked with a smile, looking at the cold-faced Yann Chuxue, who was dressed in white that outshone the snow.

Yann Chuxue acted as if she hadn’t heard him, her gaze fixed on the Array Disc slowly descending from above.

Wenren Xiao didn’t mind her attitude and continued, "You can have it. As long as you stand on my side, the Array Disc is yours."

Hearing this, everyone exchanged glances.

Lin Zijun’s eyes narrowed slightly, his gaze fixed on Yann Chuxue.

"Seize all the people from the Celestial Martial Country!" Wenren Xiao suddenly shouted.

Several people from the Sang Country and the Yuqi Kingdom instantly rushed out, tightly surrounding the group from the Celestial Martial Country.

"What do you think you’re doing?" Yann Xiangyang demanded, his brow furrowed as he glared at the people surrounding them.

"You’ll find out soon enough," Wenren Xiao chuckled.

The Seventh Young Master watched Wenren Xiao and snorted coldly. "This Wenren Xiao really has it all figured out."

Luo Xue said nothing, but her eyes were glued to the Array Disc, an intense, undisguised desire burning within them.

Yann Chuxue’s expression didn’t change. Her clear, bright eyes remained fixed on the Array Disc, whose aura was gradually weakening.

’Yann Chuxue, you’ll be begging me. Very soon,’ Wenren Xiao laughed to himself.

"Hahahaha! Without my permission, none of you will get a single Array Disc!"

Wenren Xiao strode forward, reaching for the final Array Disc.

His presence was overwhelming, his laughter shaking the heavens.

WHOOSH!

At that very moment, a silvery-white Sword Aura shot over from the distance. It was as fast as a flash of lightning, silent and traceless.

A chill suddenly ran through Wenren Xiao’s heart. He hastily pulled back his hand and retreated backward at high speed.

Everyone stared. What a sharp Sword Aura!

Who could it be?

They all looked in the direction it came from. A figure slowly emerged in the distance. The wind blew gently as the person, holding a sword in one hand, walked toward them step by step, their eyes calm and indifferent.

It’s him!

Everyone’s heart trembled violently. He had actually appeared.
