Watching the small hammer continue to smash towards his true form through the air.

The Peace Path Leader shouted aloud:

"Peach God Treasure Seal! Suppress!"

He immediately pulled out a peachwood seal from his sleeve, threw it out, and in an instant, the treasure seal expanded against the wind, transforming to a size of ten zhang, pressing towards the golden small hammer.

Clang!

The clash of hammer and seal finally forced the golden small hammer back, but a crack appeared on the peachwood treasure seal. As a seal refined over many years, the mental connection caused the Peace Path Leader to spit out fresh blood with a "wa" sound.

However, he couldn't care about his treasured seal or his injuries at that moment. Taking advantage of having repelled Qin Yuxian's attack, he quickly elevated himself to a higher, safer position, and then let out a long shout:

"Friend, I've already lured Qin Yuxian away. If you don't strike now, then when?"

Qin Yuxian, floating at a height of ten zhang, caught the rebounding golden small hammer in reverse. Just as he was about to attack again, upon hearing those words, his face changed drastically, and he immediately looked down at the courtyard below:

"Not good, protect Lord Tan!"

Then, almost at the instant of the Peace Path Leader Xu En's shout.

A figure, extremely fast and with a momentum like a rainbow, swept into Qin Yuxian's courtyard like a thunderclap...

"That is..."

At that moment, Chen Ku had just arrived at the scene, witnessing the figure sweeping into the courtyard, wearing a mask, surprisingly it was the masked man by Little Princess Guan Hongluan's side.

"Is there collusion between the Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion and Peace Path as well?"

Chen Ku was extremely shocked.

From afar, he saw the masked man, who was at least of the same realm as Qin Yuxian, arrive beside Tan Chongrui in just a few blinks.

"Who dares...you won't get away with it..."

Qin Fang and Feng Buping, responsible for guarding Tan Chongrui, were just about to advance, but felt a gust of wind sweeping past them. Before they could react, their bodies were already sent flying over ten zhang away, vomiting blood, and passing out.

"Seventh Realm!!" Chen Ku watched in shock and fear.

The Divine Hammer Guardian Qin Fang, as a disciple of Qin Yuxian, had cultivation far deeper than Guan Hongluan or Pei Qingzhi, yet couldn't even see how the masked man struck, and was left for dead or alive.

The masked man, ghost-like, reached Tan Chongrui's side, grabbed his shoulder, and swept him out of the courtyard.

"Tan Brother!!"

Qin Yuxian, furious and enraged, swooped down from mid-air, intending to stop the masked man taking Tan Chongrui.

However, at this moment.

"Grandmaster, where are you going?"

The Peace Path Leader, who had flown to a height of eighty zhang, laughed aloud and suddenly threw the treasure seal from mid-air:

"Catch my treasure seal!"

The gale behind him, like the sky collapsing, instinctively made Qin Yuxian turn around to counterattack, striking out with a hammer that crashed against the treasure seal.

But because of this...

The masked man succeeded in taking the person away completely.

Seeing that Tan Chongrui had been snatched away, the Peace Path Leader lost interest in fighting, retrieved the treasure seal, and loudly said:

"Grandmaster Qin, let me frankly tell you, the person who took Tan Chongrui is from your own Ji Dynasty's Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion. If you want to find them, seek them there. I'm taking my leave!"

Qin Yuxian was furious upon hearing this: "Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion?"

He couldn't have imagined that the old Founding Marquis Mansion would cooperate with treacherous demons like Peace Path to oppose the new regime?

Seeing the Peace Path Leader about to fly away!

"Where do you think you're going, little thing?!"

Chen Ku suddenly heard a familiar old voice booming from the sky above:

"Let me give you an early Heavenly Tribulation!"

Crack!

A towering old man flew through the night sky, pinching a Five Thunder Seal, and threw a punch at the Peace Path Leader in mid-flight...

A thick lightning bolt, as thick as an arm, roared over a hundred zhang in a moment, directly striking the Peace Path Leader's back.

"Thunder?"

The Peace Path Leader Xu Yi was aghast and cried out.

For those cultivating in divine souls like him, the most feared was the world's utmost Yang and rigid thunder and flames, yet he had no time to react before the thunder's speed, faster than a thought...

Crack!

His entire body was pierced through by the Five Thunders Decision executed by Shan Lingguan.

Watching the Peace Path Leader fall from mid-air, Chen Ku was overjoyed:

"What a great opportunity!"

Immediately, transforming into the Volcanic Crow as a clone, Chen Ku rushed forward, heading straight for the leader of Peace Path struck by Master's Thunder Decision.

"Who goes there?!"

The leader of Peace Path fell from mid-air, body wracked with agony, but suddenly saw a figure dart over, shocked and furious.

Upon sensing the approaching figure, realizing it wielded only Fifth Realm Qi Power, his fury grew.

"Mere Fifth Realm, yet you dare court death!"

Although struck by the Thunder Decision, his entire being numbed with excruciating pain, Divine Power greatly reduced, there was no way a Fifth Realm Martial Practitioner could confront him, and immediately his killing intent surged, a circle of seven-colored halo flickering behind him.

[Xu En harbored killing intent against the Diagram Master, killing him might yield Evil Qi...]

Yet, before he could move, Chen Ku flew over, snorted distantly at him, and two beams of white light fiercely struck Xu En.

Crack!

The seven-colored halo on Xu En instantly lost a layer of red light!

[Diagram Master extinguishing one Incense Fire Spirit of Xu En... Acquired one Sixth Realm Incense Fire Evil Qi]

Xu En had not expected this minor Fifth Realm Martial Practitioner to possess an attack for Divine Soul, and already weakened by the Thunder Decision, was struck first by Chen Ku...

The specialized 'striking the soul' Snot directly extinguished a layer of the incense fire divine ring behind him, causing Xu En's vision to blacken.

"Junior apprentice-brother!"

Qin Yuxian and Shan Lingguan watched incredulously as Chen Ku appeared suddenly:

"Disciple!"

Witnessing Chen Ku severely wounding the Peace Path leader with a single blow, Shan Lingguan wasted no time, once again formed the Thunder Decision, and punched toward the Peace Path leader!!

Crack!

Another Thunder Decision struck Xu En's body.

The Peace Path leader, struck consecutively twice, felt his body and soul being torn by the thunder, clearly aware that one more hit would scatter his soul completely:

"AAAAH... Too much bullying, then don't blame me for abandoning this body!"

Boom!

Chen Ku first sensed the terrible crisis: "No, is this guy going to self-destruct?!"

He retreated in an instant!

Even so, he was a tad late, as Xu En's body exploded, resembling a small sun, the shockwave crashing forward like colossal waves!

"Humph!"

Chen Ku grunted heavily, as if struck by tons of ocean waves, blown backward through the air.

"Junior apprentice-brother!"

Seeing this, Qin Yuxian rushed over, catching Chen Ku, dissipating the impact force.

Yet, upon turning, after Xu En's body exploded, a roaring sound spread across the heavens and earth:

"You all wait for me, once Baojiao City changes banners and the God of the Yellow Heaven descends, today's debts will be settled one by one."

With his Yin Yang Eye, Chen Ku saw the soul of the Peace Path leader, only three colored halos remaining, apparently losing four incense fire divine rings in the recent attacks, including his.

"Junior apprentice-brother, are you okay?" Qin Yuxian immediately asked after setting Chen Ku down.

"I'm fine, the Yuan Tuo Silver Armor and Golden Light Technique shielded me, just got some shock..."

Finishing, Chen Ku looked in the direction of his master Shan Lingguan, only to notice, during the recent action, Master's arm was holding a person, seemingly a woman...

Most importantly, that woman seemed somewhat familiar.

"Guan Hongluan?!"

Upon Shan Lingguan's approach, Chen Ku couldn't help but blurt out:

"Isn't this Princess Hongluan? Master, why is she with you..."

With a darkened face, Shan Lingguan replied, "Still asking? Tonight, upon hearing the commotion within the city, I realized it was an opportunity; I planned to take advantage of the chaos to abduct the young girl from Marquis of Han Shou's Mansion, so that Xiao Qin could push for new policies unchallenged by the Marquis Mansion, who thought... damn it, someone else had the same idea."

Looking at Princess Hongluan discarded to the side by his master, Chen Ku couldn't help but feel speechless.

Why does everyone like kidnapping?

Qin Yuxian, without much thought of questioning Chen Ku's arrival, looked at Guan Hongluan, and said with pleasure,

"Good, with her, we can exchange her for Tan."

Shan Lingguan finished speaking, tossed Guan Hongluan to Chen Ku, saying, "You take her, your senior brother and I will grab those two young men and leave the city first; Baojiao County's fall is imminent, staying in the city is impossible."

With that, he and Qin Yuxian respectively went to grab the injured Qin Fang and Feng Buping, and led Chen Ku away toward the outskirts of the city.
