After Zhou Shengdian left, Tang Rao continued to sit in the Jiuxian Building, sipping his drink and occasionally enjoying some dishes, but his brows remained tightly furrowed.

The matter was complicated; Heavenly Dao concealed a great secret and without him speaking up, Tang Rao could not guess it.

"Dong Xia might know something," Tang Rao muttered. Dong Xia had warned him not to trust Heavenly Dao's insight.

Since Dong Xia had offered such advice, she must know something; otherwise, there was no reason for her to make an unfounded caution.

Was Dong Xia only trying to create a divide and distrust between him and Heavenly Dao's insight? Tang Rao didn't think Dong Xia had such idle motives.

"What exactly is your aim?" Tang Rao sighed softly and shook his head slowly.

"Tang Rao, Li Yuze has made his move." Suddenly, a voice from Illusion City reached him; it was Yan Wei.

"Got it." Tang Rao responded, then took out a Spirit Stone from his pocket, placed it on the table, and left.

...

"Judge Qin, is everything ready?" In a location within the Seventy-two Domains, Li Yuze and Qin Sheng stood opposite each other.

"Of course!" Qin Sheng nodded, "As you instructed, I've invited ten Array Masters and set up a triggerable Super Array. As soon as Tang Rao enters this hundred-mile radius, the Great Formation will seal the space. Then, he won't be able to escape through a Space Rift."

"That's reassuring. Tang Rao has taken the bait and is heading this way. When the time comes, just follow my lead. If Tang Rao brings people with him, we leave; if he comes alone, that's our opportunity," said Li Yuze.

"How confident are you that Tang Rao will come alone?" Qin Sheng couldn't help asking.

"Eighty percent," Li Yuze chuckled, then turned to the person beside him, "This guy is very important to Tang Rao, don't you think? Right, San Xing?"

"Li Yuze, go to hell!" Indeed, Li Yuze had teamed up with Qin Sheng and captured Liu Sanxing.

Li Yuze probably could not capture Liu Sanxing alone, but with Qin Sheng's help, Liu Sanxing had no power to resist.

"San Xing, I advise you to stop cursing. Once we kill Tang Rao, I'll give you a chance to surrender and swear loyalty to me by the Heavenly Dao vow, then, we'll still be brothers," Li Yuze said with a smile.

"You scum, a disgrace to the army! You can do such a thing, I... Li Yuze... even if I die, Liu Sanxing's next life will be spent coming back to kill you!" Liu Sanxing roared.

"Fool!" Li Yuze sneered, full of disdain.

Qin Sheng was getting anxious; it had already been an hour and Tang Rao hadn't arrived yet. Was this guy really going to sacrifice Liu Sanxing?

It was a possibility, considering that Tang Rao probably knew this was a trap, so he would rather sacrifice Liu Sanxing.

After all, if Qin Sheng were in his shoes, he would certainly do the same.

It's always better for someone else to die than yourself; it's more worth it.

"Here he comes." Suddenly, Li Yuze's eyes narrowed, and he spun around to look at Qin Sheng.

Qin Sheng trembled, and the next moment, he vanished and hid among the surrounding shrubbery, waiting for the right moment.

Less than half a minute after Qin Sheng hid, a voice approached rapidly, finally stopping two hundred meters away from Li Yuze.

Tang Rao!

Tang Rao didn't speak but merely looked coldly at Li Yuze.

"It seems you're quite trustworthy; I told you to come alone, and you really didn't bring anyone else," Li Yuze said with a cold laugh.

Tang Rao still remained silent, just staring indifferently at Li Yuze.

"Do you want to save Liu Sanxing? If so, then cripple your Cultivation. Otherwise, I'll show no mercy," Li Yuze's hand was already gripping Liu Sanxing's neck.

Just a little more force, and Yan Wei would crush Liu Sanxing to death.

"I didn't expect you to turn out like this," Tang Rao finally spoke.

"People, after all, change. Some become weaker and more foolish, while others come to better understand what they want. Tang Rao, stop with the nonsense. I'm just asking one question: will you cripple your own cultivation, or should I kill Liu Sanxing?" Li Yuze glared at Tang Rao, his tone incredibly fierce.

"Brother, don't worry about me, just go, they..."

"Stop your blabbering!" Li Yuze slapped Liu Sanxing on the back.

Liu Sanxing felt a sudden blockage in his chest, unable to make a sound from his throat.

"Tang Rao, answer my question," Li Yuze said, apparently running out of patience.

"Can I choose neither?" Tang Rao asked.

"Neither? Of course, you can," Li Yuze sneered, "Since you won't choose either, then the both of you can go to die! Judge Qin, do it!" Li Yuze roared.

Qin Sheng was slightly surprised, as this deviated from Li Yuze's original plan.

But at this moment, Qin Sheng had no time to consider these issues and immediately initiated the Spatial Seal Great Formation. Within a hundred miles, space was completely sealed.

Qin Sheng charged out, while from different directions, four peak Tribulation Passer Cultivators also rushed out, aiming straight for Tang Rao.

Their speed was incredibly fast.

"Boom!" Tang Rao didn't just stand there waiting to die; he fiercely retreated backward, with Spiritual Energy erupting violently from his body.

"Tang Rao, today, you're certain to die!" Qin Sheng laughed loudly, "This place is sealed by my Spatial Seal Great Formation; you have no chance to escape!"

As soon as Qin Sheng's words fell, he was already in front of Tang Rao.

However, Qin Sheng found it odd that on Tang Rao's face, there was not the slightest hint of panic but rather, more scorn and disdain.

Before Qin Sheng could figure it out, a bright glow suddenly burst from Tang Rao, and immediately after, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Tang Rao, striking fiercely.

Boom!

A violent collision resounded, and both figures were flung backwards.

Qin Sheng stepped back five paces, and the person in front of Tang Rao stepped back three.

Qin Sheng's face changed drastically; he had no idea where this middle-aged man in front of Tang Rao came from, appearing as if out of thin air.

Could it be a Death Energy Puppet? Was he kept inside a Space Ring by Tang Rao?

Impossible, this man was clearly a living Cultivator, with no trace of Death Energy.

"I spent a billion Spirit Stones to hire him; what do you think, not too shabby, huh?" Tang Rao said with a smile.

This man was called Qiao Teng, whom he had hired from Giant Merchant Star for a billion Spirit Stones, a Half-step Great Perfection expert.

If not for the cooperation with Illusion City, it would have been impossible to hire such a high-level expert for a billion Spirit Stones.

This time, Giant Merchant Star really did give a family-friendly price.

Of course, this was also because Dong Xia had previously sent people to attack Jiuxian Building, which offended Giant Merchant Star, and they too were looking for an opportunity to strike at Soul Capture Pavilion.

"Mr. Qiao, strike to kill, don't hold back on my account," Tang Rao said to Qiao Teng.

"As you wish!" Qiao Teng nodded, then surged forward, with both palms attacking Qin Sheng's head directly.
