Wang Wenxian held the Octagonal Ancient Mirror, hurriedly reporting information to Feng Ping, his expression appearing uncertain and suspicious.

"He stopped? What is Huang Yuan up to? He clearly knows we are pursuing him, so why did he suddenly stop? Could it be that he has the confidence to fight us?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ping fell into doubt.

"What Feng Zunshi said makes me think there is indeed a problem."

Wang Wenxian nodded, puzzled, "Huang Yuan from the human world knows he's no match for us, so why did he suddenly stop running? Could it be a conspiracy?"

Feng Ping thought for a moment, "There might indeed be a conspiracy, but I think the most likely scenario is a stratagem of an empty city. Human world's Huang Yuan might know he can't escape, so he set up an empty city stratagem to make us think they have a conspiracy, hoping we'll give up the chase."

"The more he behaves this way, the less I will give up. Even if he has a conspiracy, what of it? With only three in the True God Realm from the human world, even if they have a conspiracy, they can do nothing to me. Chase!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

At Feng Ping's command, Heavenly Court members unleashed their Escape Art to continue the pursuit.

※※※

"What did Feng Zunshi say? Why did Huang Yuan's group suddenly stop?"

In the north, Qin Guang summoned the Divine Spirit Realm Variant who had sent a message earlier to inquire.

The Divine Spirit Realm Variant said, "Feng Zunshi said Huang Yuan's group is employing a stratagem of an empty city, so we shouldn't pay attention to it. He also said that even if Huang Yuan has a conspiracy, with only three in the True God Realm, they can't achieve anything, so we should continue the chase."

Qin Guang thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "What Feng Zunshi said is reasonable. We chase!"

※※※

In the south, Kuang Baoyu's group encountered a similar situation, but Kuang Baoyu didn't think much.

"Kuang Zunshi, Huang Yuan in the human world has stopped."

"Stopped? Pretending to be mysterious. Ignore him; that Huang Yuan has no strategy. Chase with me!"

"Yes!"

Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

※※※

"Chen Zunshi, Huang Yuan and his group have stopped, seemingly waiting for Feng Ping of the Heavenly Court to arrive."

In the southeast direction of Xiao Mu's location, about a hundred kilometers away, was Chen Ming's group.

Huang Luo put away the Flying Divine Technique and hurriedly reported to Chen Ming.

"Stopped? What is Huang Yuan up to? I must see what exactly he intends to do."

Chen Ming, speaking, took out a blue Dao Talisman from his body. He casually pinched it, and the blue Dao Talisman emitted blue brilliance, exploding directly in his hand.

The blue brilliance gathered and finally formed an illusion in front of him, showing the scene where Xiao Mu, now in disguise as Huang Yuan, Yan Qingxu, and Zhao Yaogu were located.

Chen Ming looked at the positions of Xiao Mu as Huang Yuan, Yan Qingxu, and Zhao Yaogu, and immediately frowned in confusion.

This Huang Yuan, Zhao Yaogu, and Yan Qingxu seem to be really waiting for Feng Ping of the Heavenly Court. How could this be? Are they really not afraid of death, simply seeking it?

※※※

"What's going on? It feels like someone is watching me!"

At the moment he was being observed by Chen Ming, Xiao Mu sensitively sensed it and suddenly felt uneasy, as if someone from afar was spying on him.

Who could be spying from the Heavenly Court?

Xiao Mu's first thought was to consider whoever was spying on him as a Variant from the Heavenly Court. Almost instinctively, he thought about taking out the Creation Axe and slashing it at himself to break the hidden surveillance.

However, once his hand extended, he stopped the action, forcibly restraining himself from using the Creation Axe.

If it really is someone from the Heavenly Court watching me, then who could it be? If it's Feng Ping's group, wouldn't using the Creation Axe at this time immediately expose my identity?

Forget it, no need to pay attention. If it's someone from the Heavenly Court, they will come after seeing the situation; if not, they probably won't keep watching me.

Xiao Mu decided to ignore it, calm himself, and continued waiting for the arrival of the Heavenly Court's forces.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh! Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

From the south, north, and east, the sound of Escape Art suddenly came simultaneously, and Escape Light shone bright.

Hearing the noise, Xiao Mu's heart moved, knowing that the Heavenly Court's people had caught up, and he was overjoyed.

From the east, south, and north, simultaneously, various Escape Lights approached Xiao Mu, surrounding him from three directions, leaving only a road leading to Dahong Pass—an unmistakable strategy to make Xiao Mu flee in that direction if he tried to escape.

"Feng Ping of the Heavenly Court, I know you're here. Show yourself!"

Xiao Mu, with three bodies, took a few steps forward, grouped together, and the one transformed into Huang Yuan shouted towards the front.

"Huang Yuan, you are quite bold. Knowing we're chasing you, you still dare to stop and wait for death!"

Feng Ping's voice came, but from the sky.

This Feng Ping, stepping on the Yin-Yang Cloud, slowly approached Xiao Mu, and on the ground, at least a dozen Variants from the Heavenly Court emerged, slowly closing in as well.

At the same time, movements in the south and north were also noticeable, with Qin Guang leading over a dozen Variants from the north and Kuang Baoyu bringing a few from the south, all showing themselves.

"Why should I run? Feng Ping, I stayed here, waiting for you, to resolve things once and for all, to kill you here."

Xiao Mu, disguised as Huang Yuan, showed no fear; instead, he emitted a strong killing intent, his eyes firmly fixed on Feng Ping.

"Kill me?"

Upon hearing this, Feng Ping's face showed a strange smile, disdainful as he said, "Huang Yuan, you're really overestimating yourself. Do you think you can kill me? You must've forgotten how not long ago you were fleeing from me like a pathetic dog."

"Feng Zunshi, why bother talking to him? They're all as good as dead. Let's take action and annihilate them!"

From the south, Kuang Baoyu suddenly interjected.

He couldn't bear it any longer—facing such an overwhelming difference in strength, why waste words with Huang Yuan from the human world? Killing them directly would be far more satisfying, wouldn't it?

Could he possibly resist?

Feng Ping raised his left hand, pressing down to hold back Kuang Baoyu, not in any hurry.

He always believed that if Huang Yuan dared to stay and wait, he must have a plot, though he didn't know what it was. There was no need to rush to act.

Anyway, Huang Yuan from the human world was already surrounded and couldn't escape even if he tried.

To avoid unnecessary loss, it was best to figure out what Huang Yuan's plot was before making a move.

'Huang Yuan' sneered upon hearing this: "Different time, different circumstance, Feng Ping. Previously, I indeed couldn't deal with you. However, during my recent escape, I had an epiphany and found a way to kill you. Now, killing you is as easy as slaughtering a dog. If you don't believe me, come and try it yourself."

"How dare you!"

"Shut up! How dare you insult Feng Zunshi, Huang Yuan, you're courting death!"

"Huang Yuan, shut your mouth! Feng Zunshi is not someone you can insult!"

From behind Feng Ping, rebukes erupted, with several Mutated Beings pointing at 'Huang Yuan' and cursing him.

"So that's all you have, Feng Ping?"

'Huang Yuan' laughed, looking at Feng Ping with disdain, and said contemptuously, "Forget it. Since you don't dare to come forward, I'll settle some other scores first."

"The souls of Zhu Fuchen and Yu Wen'en were just slain by Kuang Baoyu recently. Kuang Baoyu, who's Kuang Baoyu? Come out and meet your death!"

Saying this, Xiao Mu roared, his gaze shifting from Feng Ping in the east to Kuang Baoyu in the south.

"The old saying goes: when a tiger does not roar, monkeys think themselves kings. Huang Yuan, it hasn't been long since we parted. Your strength isn't much improved, but your audacity has grown a lot. Daring to challenge me directly, good, I'm here now. You want to kill me, try killing one."

Kuang Baoyu, called out by 'Huang Yuan,' couldn't bear it, stepping out from his ranks and stopping about ten meters from 'Huang Yuan.'

"Very well, so you're Kuang Baoyu. It was you who killed Zhu Fuchen and Yu Wen'en from the human world, wasn't it?"

Xiao Mu, focusing his gaze on Kuang Baoyu, accidentally revealed some of his own identity in his words.

Huang Yuan had definitely faced Kuang Baoyu before in battle and recognized him, but Xiao Mu did not, thus revealing himself somewhat in his words.

However, under the circumstances, evidently no one noted these subtleties, and even if anyone did, they wouldn't ponder them under such circumstances.
