Due to Celestial Traveler's death, Hei Zhao and Lan Feng dared not recklessly enter East Lake.

But now, Thousand Mechanism Lake is the territory of the Covering Sky Pavilion.

How dare these mere four come here?

Whoosh—

The two transformed into a streak of light, arriving swiftly at the city gate.

As the two hovered above the city tower, overlooking Wen Pingchong and the others, the panicked people of Vast City gradually stopped in their tracks.

The Earth Unrestricted experts from Covering Sky Pavilion have arrived.

What is there to fear?

"To suddenly attack outside Vast City, hoping to catch us by surprise, what a joke, there are Earth Unrestricted experts from Covering Sky Pavilion in the city!"

"Wait, is that Chen Xie?"

"It's actually Chen Xie, that traitor!"

"Traitor Chen Xie, actually dares to return. The Hundred Sects Alliance treated you well, yet you betrayed and sided with Immortal Sect."

"Traitor Chen Xie, prepare to die!"

Many who recognized Chen Xie angrily accused him.

Their hatred toward Immortal Sect was profound.

But their hatred towards the traitor was even deeper, to the bone.

Especially knowing that now Chen Xie's intelligence network served Immortal Sect, providing them with information, their hate intensified.

Truly an unworthy rogue!

When did the Hundred Sects Alliance ever mistreat him?

Yet he's so heartless and treacherous.

Hei Zhao and Lan Feng, hearing that one of the four was a traitor from the Hundred Sects Alliance, couldn't help but look at Chen Xie with interest.

Not rushing to act just yet.

Since the four are meat on the chopping board, it doesn't matter if they are served sooner or later.

Amid the surrounding voices of accusation and curses, Chen Xie remained indifferent, gave a slight chuckle, and calmly responded, "You aren't me, so how do you know that joining Immortal Sect is betrayal? You aren't me, how do you know the Hundred Sects Alliance treated me well?"

Chen Xie countered with two questions.

Which only led to more accusations.

Chen Xie wanted to continue responding, but Wen Pingchong stopped him.

Wen Pingchong glanced around, then said, "Why bother explaining to them? If you live your life constantly explaining your actions to others, isn't that boring? Besides, they simply want to criticize and vent at you, no matter what you say, it's the same."

Chen Xie nodded, then looked towards the sky at Hei Zhao and Lan Feng, and said in a deep voice to Wen Pingchong and the others, "The one in black on the left is called Hei Zhao, the one in blue on the right is named Lan Feng. According to their own words, the strength of the two is comparable to Celestial Traveler."

Hei Zhao and Lan Feng, upon hearing this.

Suddenly froze.

According to their own words? 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Did Chen Xie really plant spies around them?

How is that possible?

Anyone appearing in his dwelling place was brought by him from Covering Sky Pavilion.

Could it be some other means?

"What an impressive tactic, even knowing what I say. It seems your purpose in coming here today is related to last night's events, right?" Hei Zhao was startled by Chen Xie's tactics, but was unconcerned, in the face of absolute strength, what use are such petty tricks?

Chen Xie did not reply.

Wen Pingchong spoke then, "Only has Celestial Traveler's strength?"

Regarding Celestial Traveler's combat ability as Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted, Wen Pingchong didn't even bother asking the system to view the brief info of Hei Zhao and Lan Feng.

What Vein Technique they cultivate.

What Spirit Body they cultivate.

It all doesn't matter.

"Sword Demon, pick one."

Wen Pingchong addressed Sword Demon.

Sword Demon, still yearning for more after his battle with Celestial Traveler, lit up with joy upon being told by the Sect Leader to choose one.

Like picking a favorite item in a shop.

Sword Demon gazed at Hei Zhao and Lan Feng for a moment, then said, "I heard the name Hei Zhao on the battlefield before. Today, let me meet him!"

Upon hearing this, Hei Zhao, originally ignored and angry, burst into laughter, as if hearing the greatest joke.

"Sword Demon, to want to meet me means death! I may not be stronger than Celestial Traveler, but you aren't capable of provoking me."

With that, Hei Zhao's face gradually gathered a cold killing intent.

Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm, daring to speak such arrogance!

Hei Zhao, coldly, said, "Lan Feng, leave that Upper Realm Demon God to you, the other two to Di Ting and the others. Do not kill them, leave them alive! Since they are people from Immortal Sect, they surely know more about Immortal Sect than anyone. We need more information on Immortal Sect now."

Lan Feng nodded lightly, "Don't worry, I won't let them die easily."

With that, Lan Feng instantly appeared on the other side.

Directly facing Huaikong.

The human and demon immediately confronted each other, igniting the flames of battle.

Just as Huaikong also prepared to act, Wen Pingchong spoke, "Huaikong, go open the exit to the Demon Realm, then head to Demon Emperor Lake for preparation."

Huaikong immediately withdrew his battle intent and also withdrew his lingering gaze from Lan Feng, then bowed, "Yes, Sect Leader!"

With this bow.

Hei Zhao and Lan Feng's faces instantly changed drastically.

The faces of those from the Hundred Sects Alliance expecting a show also turned pale.

The Sect Leader of Immortal Sect!

Mysterious and magnificent individual.

Why is Immortal Sect so powerful now?

It's because he led them to this point.

Hei Zhao and Lan Feng knew well, if the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect appears, what is seen isn't simple.

Would the Sect Leader of Immortal Sect come to die?

Impossible!

"Battle!" Amid the surprise, Sword Demon took the lead eagerly, charging at Hei Zhao, his saber carrying Holy Light Blade Intent cleaving towards Hei Zhao.

Boom—

Meridian Gate trembled.

The battle commenced.

Huaikong also transformed into a streak of light, flying towards the Demon Realm direction.

Lan Feng originally intended to intercept but saw Wen Pingchong casually throw out a Flying Ship, taking Huaikong inside. As they stepped onto the Flying Ship, a Magic Wand suddenly appeared in his hand, waving it while muttering incantations.

This made Lan Feng completely dare not pursue Huaikong.

Bang!

The four veins opened simultaneously, then, like facing a formidable enemy, cautiously watched Wen Ping.

In the next instant, an intense death Qi began to spread from the place centered around Wen Ping, moving with the wind like morning fog, rapidly expanding outward, and covering half of the sky over Vast City in the blink of an eye.

Within the death Qi, the Gate of Hell reopened!

Dark Stream Annihilation transformed into black smoke, dragging a massive and terrifying Black Scythe, flew out and swiftly swept towards Lan Feng.

Di Ting was taken aback.

Lan Feng was also shocked.

The people of the Hundred Sects Alliance were even more shocked.

The hard-earned confidence they built up crumbled instantly with the appearance of Dark Stream Annihilation.

They scattered and fled because the terrifying aura released by Dark Stream Annihilation was far more powerful than Lan Feng's.

"It's it!"

Lan Feng knew what had killed Celestial Traveler.

If it could kill Celestial Traveler, it could kill him too!

Lan Feng hurriedly coped with the massive Black Scythe wielded by Dark Stream Annihilation, then shouted to Hei Zhao, "Don't bother with the Sword Demon, come and help me fast. It can kill Celestial Traveler in a short time, absolutely not something I can face alone."

With these words, the Black Scythe smashed down.

The defense Lan Feng tried to erect was shattered like a thin pancake by a single slash of the scythe.

Lan Feng, like a falling star, flew backward, falling into Vast City, destroying two to three streets in a row before stabilizing himself.

Seeing this, Hei Zhao's face turned ashen.

One blow!

Lan Feng couldn't even withstand one blow from it.

Indeed, the Immortal Sect came prepared!

"Get out of here!" At this moment, Hei Zhao had no mind to care about any Sword Demon. After punching the Sword Demon to retreat, he was about to help Lan Feng.

However, how could the Sword Demon let him leave easily?

The magic wand swung.

The Space Seal was activated again!

It sealed the surrounding space, blocking Hei Zhao's path.

At the same time, the Holy Light Barrier responded and activated!

Within a thousand feet of the Sword Demon, Hei Zhao could no longer use the Vein Technique.

This completely sealed off Hei Zhao's means to break the Space Seal.

"Want to leave?"

The Sword Demon's Holy Light Blade Intent followed, transforming into countless flying flowers attacking Hei Zhao.

Black Saber was shocked after crashing head-on into the Space Barrier, and then it wanted to release Vein Technique to break the invisible Space Barrier blocking its way.

However, the Meridian Gate remained silent.

It was as if it had fallen asleep.

"This—" Hei Zhao was shocked, fear immediately rising in his heart.

This must be the Sword Demon's technique!

It must also be a technique learned after joining the Immortal Sect because on the battlefield, if the Sword Demon had mastered such a method, the Sword Demon would definitely be targeted to death by the strong warriors of the Battle Division. No matter the cost, the strong warriors of the Battle Division would certainly kill the Sword Demon.

"Your opponent is only me." The Sword Demon's voice, accompanied by the Holy Light Blade Intent of flying flowers, engulfed Hei Zhao.

Hei Zhao hurriedly dodged, relying on the Body Technique to evade the Sword Demon's Blade Intent.

Initially thinking he could avoid the Sword Demon's Blade Intent with speed, yet he found that the Sword Demon's Blade Intent speed was something he completely couldn't dodge.

After dodging two or three strands.

More Blade Intents slashed at his body.

Each Holy Light Blade Intent that struck his Spirit Body was actually corroding and melting his Spirit Body.

"What kind of Blade Intent is this?"

Amidst the shock and fear, the Sword Demon's Meridian Gate trembled once more.

The long knife in the Sword Demon's hand quickly drew a cross.

Horizontal as black.

Vertical as white.

The Cross Blade Intent slowly rotated as it attacked, growing larger and reaching a terrifying speed.

Hei Zhao dodged the first Cross Blade Intent, but the second and third Cross Blade Intents followed quickly.

Incessantly!

Giving Hei Zhao no chance to breathe.

By the time of the fourth Cross Blade Intent, Hei Zhao couldn't evade in time, and his left arm was grazed by the Cross Blade Intent.

The graze took away a piece of flesh!

Blood gushed out, dyeing Hei Zhao's entire arm a bloody red.

"My Spirit Body can't withstand it." Realizing this problem, Hei Zhao couldn't believe the Sword Demon in front of him had only the power of the Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm.

This combat power stood at least at the Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted level.

Only the Realm has not been broken through yet.

On the other side, the Vein Techniques released by Lan Feng were continuously broken by Dark Stream Annihilation, leaving him in utter panic.

"Hei Zhao!"

"Help me!"

"Come help me quickly!"

These cries of fear echoed in the sky over Vast City.

The people of Covering Sky Tower were silent.

The people of the Hundred Sects Alliance were also silent.

Of course, it was not because they were too scared to speak.

The silence was simply because they didn't know what to say, they never imagined it would be like this.

Hei Zhao and Lan Feng were Half-Step Celestial Unrestricted experts.

Unrivaled!

They were gods in the hearts of many residents of Vast City.

However, when they encountered the experts of the Immortal Sect, this was the scenario.

Was the Immortal Sect too powerful?

Or were Hei Zhao and they too weak?

(That's it... Goodnight.)
