"As for your worry that the Ruyi Divine Shield won't withstand the Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars, I think it's completely unnecessary. Sun Hong and Chen Tong were trapped beneath the Great Array, yet they managed to block the Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars for such a long time. Even if my Ruyi Divine Shield isn't the best, it should at least hold for a short while, no?"

Yi Qianxiao was convinced and nodded, "There's some truth to that, fine, I'll rely on the Trace Concealing Ring and your Ruyi Divine Shield to enter the array and rescue them!"

※※※

"These people from the human world, trapped beneath Dahong Pass, are surely seeking help. At any moment, people from the human world might come to rescue them. Xiang Quan, search around to see if any Mutated Beings from the human world are hiding nearby."

Liang Kuang, having just hidden, looked at Xiang Quan and instructed him to search for signs of Mutated Beings from the human world.

"Yes!"

Xiang Quan responded, immediately using Secret Arts to start searching the vicinity.

※※※

Whoosh!

Yi Qianxiao slid a White Circle off his wrist and tossed it into the air. The White Circle expanded and directly descended onto his body.

A dim white glow emanated from the circle, immediately concealing Yi Qianxiao's body.

"Great treasure!"

Xu Mengluo exclaimed with joy, while also taking out a palm-sized green-grey shield-like treasure. She tossed it in the direction Yi Qianxiao disappeared and shouted, "Catch!"

"Thank you!"

A hand suddenly emerged from the void and caught the Ruyi Divine Shield thrown by Xu Mengluo.

The hand quickly withdrew and vanished along with the green-grey small shield from sight.

"I'm off!"

Yi Qianxiao's voice came from the void, followed by spatial changes. He determined Sun Hong and Chen Tong's location and traversed directly through space.

※※※

"Haha! Someone really came to rescue!"

Atop Dahong Pass, Qin Hua's third eye on his forehead exploded with Brilliance.

This peculiar Divine Eye seemed capable of seeing through everything, exposing all hidden things with a sweep.

Thus, Yi Qianxiao's movements were completely revealed to Qin Hua's third eye.

"Someone from the human world is here to rescue. Attention, follow my command. When I give the order, launch an attack and obliterate!"

※※※

"Sun Hong and Chen Tong are deep inside Dahong Pass, quite far from my position!"

Yi Qianxiao stopped, stood firm in front of Dahong Pass, protected by the Ruyi Divine Shield and the Trace Concealing Ring.

His eyes immediately fixated on Sun Hong and Chen Tong.

"Though far, it's not impossible to rescue Sun Hong and Chen Tong. My Trace Concealing Ring can open a channel directly to them; then I can get them out, perfectly unnoticed."

Upon this thought, Yi Qianxiao couldn't help but smile. He looked again at the direction of Sun Hong and Chen Tong, and a sudden seriousness washed over his face.

Meanwhile, under his control, the Trace Concealing Ring shot out an invisible light, opening a hidden spatial channel from beneath his feet directly toward Sun Hong, Liu Tong, and others.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars sensed the trace concealing ring's opened spatial channel and suddenly went berserk, launching fierce attacks toward the channel.

At that moment, the Ruyi Divine Shield suddenly expanded under the concealing power of the Trace Concealing Ring, soaring up to fiercely resist the assaults of the Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars.

"Great treasure!"

Yi Qianxiao was delighted upon witnessing this, and boldly strode into the spatial channel.

※※※

"Kill!"

A voice filled with murderous intent suddenly echoed down from the top of Dahong Pass, directly reaching Yi Qianxiao's ears.

Immediately, four beams of light poured down, their power exponentially stronger than before.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The four beams crisscrossed, targeting the hidden channel opened by the Trace Concealing Ring, slicing through the air.

Boom! Bang!

The Ruyi Divine Shield was the first to be struck by the beams. Upon contact with the Ruyi Divine Shield, the beams' Brilliance intensified, their power rising another level.

Crack!

The sound of a Treasure shattering resounded as the Ruyi Divine Shield collapsed under the bombardment of the four beams.

The four beams continued unabated, cleaving down toward the hidden channel opened by the Trace Concealing Ring.

"How... how can this be?"

Yi Qianxiao looked up in terror and witnessed endless torrents of four-colored Brilliance crashing down from above, aimed straight at him.

※※※

"Haha! I knew it, the people from the human world would definitely come to rescue. Anyone who dares to break into the array shall die!"

Qin Hua stood atop Dahong Pass, bursting into triumphant laughter after the Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars killed Yi Qianxiao.

※※※

"Damn, what just happened? It seems like it was our person, probably Old Yi. Damned! Old Yi came to rescue us and got killed by the Heavenly Court using the Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars!"

Within the Great Array, Chen Tong screamed.

Seeing Yi Qianxiao's death, he immediately understood what had happened.

"What? So, the Heavenly Court is actually using us to lure our people here and eliminate them with the Great Array?"

Sun Hong's expression changed abruptly, "I was wondering why the Heavenly Light Four Absolute Pillars didn't kill us and even failed to break Old Chen's Treasure. So the Heavenly Court had ulterior motives!"

"Trouble, earlier, I summoned nearby Mutated Beings from the human world for help; they might be heading here apart from Old Yi."

Bian Fu anxiously reminded, "Quick, alert them not to come, lest they fall into the Heavenly Court's trap."

Upon hearing this, Sun Hong immediately took out a Fu Zhuan to send a message to the Mutated Beings in the human world.

However, he soon stopped with a change of color, "Damn, the Heavenly Court has used the Great Array to seal the space we're in, the message can't get through!"

※※※

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xiao Mu and Gu Mei continued racing towards Dahong Pass at high speeds.

"Just two hundred kilometers more to Dahong Pass, hurry up!"

"Sun Hong and Chen Tong, though not my friends nor related to me, are people from the human world; I can't allow the Heavenly Court to slaughter them at will."

"If I'm incapable of rescuing, so be it. But since I have the power to save, I must. Go!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xiao Mu and Gu Mei accelerated their escape speed once again.

※※※

"Reporting to Respected Envoy Liang, a person has been found, a woman, currently twenty kilometers south of us."

Xiang Quan suddenly retracted his Secret Arts and reported to Liang Kuang.

"A woman, and her prowess? Never mind, no need to ask; people from the human world are at most True God Realm. Let's go, surround and kill her with me!"

Liang Kuang initially intended to inquire about Xu Mengluo's strength in detail, but he stopped halfway, "Gan Ming, Zheng Wei, you two, go around to intercept from the west. Jin Zhong, Huang Qin, you two, intercept from the south. Xiang Gang, Gong Chun, head to the east. The rest, follow me and attack directly."

※※※

"Was Yi Qianxiao discovered? Killed? How could this be, Yi Qianxiao was hidden with the Trace Concealing Ring, how did the Heavenly Court discover him?"

Having witnessed Yi Qianxiao's death from her hidden position ten kilometers southwest of Dahong Pass, Xu Mengluo's face turned dark.

"Damn, could it be that Sun Hong, Chen Tong, and others being trapped is just a ploy, and the Heavenly Court is keeping them to lure us in and kill us when we attempt to rescue? Not good!"

Saying this, Xu Mengluo's expression changed colors as she suddenly looked up.

Boom!

In the high sky, Brilliance flourished. Several Divine Weapons simultaneously rose and launched overhead attacks aimed at her body.

※※※

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Xiao Mu and Gu Mei further enhanced their escape speed, pressing on towards Dahong Pass.

"What's that ahead? Someone has fallen, not good, it's a Mutated Being from the human world, killed under Heavenly Court's assault!"

Gu Mei suddenly fixated her gaze forward and noticed indistinct battle scenes a hundred kilometers away, different Brilliance shooting skyward.

Eventually, a Brilliance fell—killed by the joint forces of the Heavenly Court.

"It's a woman, seems her surname is Xu! Damn, these Heavenly Court people, they all deserve to die!"

Xiao Mu's eyes shone with Golden Light, and with his Divine Eye technique, he saw more clearly. Not only did he confirm the fallen was from the human world, but he even recognized Xu Mengluo's identity.
