“It worked!”

Seeing that Panguan Wen, Zhang Yan, had successfully approached within three feet of Chenghuang Yuanzhou, joy involuntarily danced on Xue Yunrou’s face.

Such a distance was sufficient for Zhang Yan to act and chop those chains.

Li Xuan also rejoiced, but soon after, he couldn’t help but feel inexplicably on edge. He wondered, was this mission really going to be this simple?

The gears in his mind spun as quickly as lightning, swiftly going over everything they’d experienced since arriving at Dasheng Pass.

Wang Sheng and Zhu Meng, the two Yeyoushen, were probably telling the truth, for Tingtian Ao’s Diting Divine Skill couldn’t easily be deceived by anyone. These two Yeyoushen could convince Tingtian Ao only by firmly believing that what they said was true themselves.

However, this Chenghuang mansion was indeed a trap, and the aim of the Mysterious Literatus was to lure them in.

What was most baffling was the spot chosen by this Literatus to reveal his true colors — it was the site of the ‘Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’ Sacrificial Array. Weren’t they essentially giving them the opportunity to disrupt the ritual? They managed to complete the task without any obstacles indeed.

Li Xuan was puzzled and could only secretly heighten his guard.

“Miss Xue, we must remain cautious and vigilant.”

At this moment, he saw Panguan Wen Zhang Yan slash down with his large knife, severing more than seventy percent of the chains binding Chenghuang Yuanzhou in a single stroke.

And the divine power bound by Chenghuang started to recover at a significant rate, emitting a fluorescent glow.

“Let’s go, Lord Yuan!”

Zhang Yan swept his large knife again, forcing the Mysterious Literatus back several steps.Then,he moved forward to assist Chenghuang Yuanzhou.

But at that very moment, Zhang Yan caught a glimpse of a hint of thick derision in the eyes of the Literatus. There was no panic or anger on his face – he still seemed entirely at ease, as if merely watching a play.

An alarm bell went off in Zhang Yan’s mind. Before he could fully comprehend the situation, he felt an immensely sharp breath curling up from his chest and abdomen.

Stunned, he incredulously stared at Chenghuang Yuanzhou in front of him while instinctively attempting to dodge. However, despite his efforts to move away from vital spots, the sudden strike from Chenghuang’s Panguan Pen still hit him squarely in the ribs.

The broken chains rose just like venomous snakes and swiftly lashed at Zhang Yan’s body.

Watching this unfold from afar, both Xue Yunrou and Li Xuan’s faces turned white.

“How is this possible?”

Xue Yunrou also could not believe what she was seeing: “The body of Chenghuang, a divine being of the 4th-rank official, can that be faked?”

“It’s a genuine divine body.” Tingtian Ao closed his eyes and sighed heavily, “Although I don’t know the reason, that indeed is Chenghuang of Dasheng Pass, Yuanzhou himself.”

“Countering the World!” Panguan Wen Zhang Yan roared again. Thousands of brilliant sword lights emanated from him, shattering the entangling chains one by one.

However, at this moment, the Mysterious Literatus was already behind him. A pen appeared in his hand and he directly struck at the vital spot on Zhang Yan’s back, leaving Zhang Yan completely defenseless.

“Surprised, aren’t you? A respected Chenghuang is colluding with demons, attempting to release hundreds of thousands of the ghostly army he was entrusted to guard, and to sacrifice the inhabitants he was to protect?”

The shadow of the Mysterious Literatus seemed to combine with the towering figure of Chenghuang Yuanzhou in that very instant. Moments later, it expanded to over five meters tall, and with a swift motion, he grabbed the neck of Panguan Wen Zhang Yan with his sizable hand. Simultaneously, he controlled the emerging chains and wrapped them around Zhang Yan’s body.

“I can only thank the Great Ancestor of Jin Dynasty for this. He took away my divine position, allowing me, Yuanzhou, to see the new world as a wandering spirit and understand things I had not understood before.”

His horsetail whisk turned into a dragon-snake once again, blasting away the incoming Panguan Wu Guo Liangchen who was attempting a rescue.

“Do you know why I let you in? Because you, Mr. Zhang, are my most desired sacrificial item. The spirited primordial spirit of a steadfast and fearless scholar, an unparalleled national gentleman, I wonder how dazzling you will shine in my ‘Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’ tonight? I am really looking forward to it, Mr. Zhang! With you and the people in Dasheng Pass, I can at least create an army of fifty thousand demons!”

Chenghuang Yuanzhou laughed uproariously, his voice resounding like thunder. The entire prison shook violently in response, causing the entire second layer of the prison floor to collapse and revealing the third layer beneath.

— And there was another complete sacrificial array, of even grander scale. At the center of it was a giant pillar, requiring ten men to fully embrace it.

At this time, Panguan Wen, Zhang Yan, had been dragged by the chains and was moving towards the giant pillar.

“All of you, leave!”

Panguan Wu, Guo Liangchen, swiftly came to stand in front of Yunrou and the others. He promptly sent all the demons and evil spirits surrounding them flying.

Yunrou’s face was suddenly pale. She glanced at Zhang Yan, about to be tied to the giant pillar, then down to the ‘Taishan Prefecture Lord Sacrifice’ that was now being initiated. Her eyes flickered with a touch of despair, a mix of regret and unwillingness.

She knew what the aftermath of a successful initiation of the sacrifice array would look like – it would be the fiercest spiritual calamity to hit south Zhili in three hundred years.

But Yunrou also knew that, even if she stayed, she was powerless to stop it. That’s why she was unwilling.

— If only her mana was a little stronger. If she had the same level of cultivation as her cousin, Hanyun, she wouldn’t be helpless right now.

“Run!”

The Panguan Wu yelled again. He had already stuck his spear in front of him and was sweeping around with a pair of short halberds in his hands.

Yunrou no longer hesitated. Almost simultaneously, she and Li Xuan activated their Yin-Yang Breaker Charms.

But just as Duchenghuang’s divine power is about to disrupt and break the yin-yang realms, a lady’s soft laughter could be heard not far away.

“I’ve been waiting for you all this time. Want to leave? It isn’t that easy!”

At that moment, four crescent-shaped blade lights flashed from within inches around them. Two were aimed at Li Xuan and two were swiftly thrown at Yunrou.

Li Xuan’s face paled slightly, his heart filled with panic. The divine power of Duchenghuang had not fully enveloped him yet, and the silver crescents had already penetrated through.

Just when he thought it was bad, sixteen red ribbons suddenly appeared from behind him, sending the crescent blade lights flying away.

However, Yunrou found herself in a desperate situation. Her open Umbrella of Yin Yuan was shattered by the blade light in a flash. One of them pierced through her right rib and out her back, ripping open massive amounts of blood. The other one, however, pierced through her sleeve, completely shredding the ‘Yin-Yang Breaker Charm’ before it could fully unfurl.

“Look who we have here? It’s the niece of the current Heavenly Master, the most outstanding outer-disciples of Longhu Mountain’s Heavenly Master Mansion in the past thirty years, this is an unexpected joy—”

The woman in purple smiled slightly, her eyes flashing with satisfaction. But then her expression changed as she looked at Li Xuan. She had been unable to stop him from activating the talisman earlier.

But if he managed to escape, what good would stopping Yunrou do?

At this moment, Yunrou’s mind went almost blank. The severe pain in her ribs made her unable to think, with only brief thoughts coming to her mind.

In this instant, she thought of her brother who had been bedridden and unconscious for the past five years.

She thought of her mother, who had worked tirelessly for over a decade for the Xue family and relied on her.

She remembered her home, twelve years ago, that had brought her infinite happiness and beauty.

It hurts! Her ribs really hurt!

Is she… about to die?

Who will save her? She doesn’t want to die yet, she still has so much she needs to do. She wishes for her mother to smile again, and for her brother’s injuries to heal.

Venerable Jiuku of Taiyi, whoever it is, just let her leave this place.

Yunrou’s limbs felt cold, as if her chest was also being invaded by the cold.

But at this moment, when she was covered in despair, Yunrou felt a hand grab hers, pulling her into a small, warm and solid barrier of divine power.

Yunrou turned around in a daze, realizing it was Li Xuan.

But the ‘Yin and Yang Breaker Charm’ obviously couldn’t get two people out of the underworld at once, so Li Xuan took another step forward.
