"That's our Myriad Images of the Universe's puppet technique. Qi Wen leaked it to them before." Meng Qingying's voice came from behind.

Li Qingjun turned her head and saw that Meng Qingying had recovered a little, stood up with the help of the wall, and smiled slightly at her, "Thanks."

Li Qingjun said with a straight face, "Judging from the way these two look at you, you're perfectly safe even without me. It seems like I'm the one who's meddling."

"It seems so..." Meng Qingying smiled and said, "Heaven knows what strange things they might be thinking. You are the only person I can completely trust."

Li Qingjun still had a stern face. "So you took advantage of us fighting to the death outside to sneak in and steal the treasure."

Meng Qingying's smile turned somewhat awkward as she looked at her with an apologetic grin, "Are you angry?"

"Snort."

"I just..." Meng Qingying hesitated for a moment before whispering, "I don't want to be left far behind by you."

Li Qingjun paused, recalling the days she had spent pursuing him with great difficulty, then pursed her lips and remained silent.

Meng Qingying glanced at the Profound Yin Sect members and said, "I'm the Young Master a powerful sect with unlimited resources, yet he surpassed me. How shameful."

Li Qingjun was both amused and exasperated. "He... is different."

"Hmm." Meng Qingying as if it were a matter of course, and then added, "It's embarrassing to have made such a mess of things this time, I don't want to see him. I'm leaving now, it's best not to tell him I was here... uh, although I probably can't hide it from him."

She scratched her head at the end, her Witch demeanor completely gone.

Li Qingjun found it amusing and asked, "Don't you have anything to say to him?"

"Hmm..." Meng Qingying looked up and thought for a while, "Two things. First, the Witch God Sect has found a Blood Netherworld Plane where a Gluttonous Altar is located, and I wonder what kind of operation they are going to perform."

Li Qingjun nodded. "Understood. Anything else?"

"Secondly, we've discovered a vast and boundless Netherworld. The entrance to it is unknown in the Divine Continent, so we can only try to build a bridge from the Netherworld, which is extremely difficult. We suspect the Nether Emperor Sect Ruins are there, and the passage to the Main Plane is probably on the other side of the sea, which is why we've searched for so many years without success." Meng Qingying paused, then continued, "The integration of the Netherworld will inevitably involve an exit in the direction of the distant sea. In the future, we might be able to travel directly to the distant other side through the Netherworld. At that time, the mountains are high and the rivers are vast; we might not be able to meet again for thousands of years."

Li Qingjun's eyes widened. "Even after all this, you still don't want to see him?"

"What good would it do to see him?" Meng Qingying said slowly, "Sleep with him?"

"Well..."

"We're not that thirsty yet," Meng Qingying finally regained her composure and said calmly, "It's better not to meet."

Li Qingjun sighed, "As for the distant sea... well... well, we might go there someday anyway."

"Hmm?" Meng Qingying's eyes lit up. "Really? Do you have a way?"

"Anyway, he has a way."

"Yes, he always has a way." Meng Qingying's expression was clearly much more relaxed, with a hint of joy, and she was obviously beginning to look forward to the time when they would meet again on the distant other side.

Li Qingjun shook her head. This stubborn Witch was actually... no different from herself.

Meng Qingying's gaze finally turned to Yu Fuzi, her tone turning indifferent again. "In truth, I have no power to interfere in the affairs of this place, and the so-called support you would not mean much to me. If Qin... Qi Wu can truly kill Xuan Hao, I think you should just acknowledge him as your master. Don't underestimate him just because he is from Huiyang; his future prospects are far beyond your imagination."

Yu Fuzi and the Right Elder exchanged a glance and bowed, saying, "Yes."

"I'm leaving." Meng Qingying suddenly reached out and touched Li Qingjun's face. "Goodbye, dear sister."

The shadow blended into the surroundings and vanished in an instant, eerily mysterious.

Li Qingjun stamped her foot and said, "Who's your sister? Call Elder Sister!"

The air was completely silent; there was no response.

Li Qingjun remained silent for a moment, then slowly turned to look at Yu Fuzi.

Just as Yu Fuzi thought this seemingly chivalrous woman had no political ambitions, Li Qingjun spoke calmly, "Since you've come this far, you can only go all the way. I don't need to teach you how to control the sect internally. Besides..."

She paused, then squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth. "If Xuan Hao managed to escape, it could only be because of the strength and uniqueness of his Primordial Spirit. I believe that as a Mountain Protection Array, it has this kind of targeting."

A chill ran through Yu Fuzi's heart.

Who says this woman is just a knight-errant?

When it comes to being ruthless, she's just as bad as Meng Qingying; she's making sure Xuan Hao has nowhere to go!

What kind of women are around Qi Wu?

Meanwhile, the battle between the Thousand Mountains Alliance and the chess fanatic Qin Yi against Xuan Hao was also coming to an end.

Xuan Hao did indeed break through to the Qian Yuan realm, although the flaws were quite serious. He might be the weakest Qian Yuan cultivator Qin Yi knew of? Still, he was still a Qian Yuan cultivator. In terms of sheer aggression, he wasn't weaker than other Qian Yuan cultivators, and might even be more ferocious.

However, once he was trapped in the chess fanatic's bizarre chess formation, he was completely unable to solve it. If no one else were involved, he could slowly take his time to break it, but the chess fanatic would not give him that opportunity.

With four or five Huiyang from the Thousand Mountains Alliance attacking simultaneously, plus the chess fanatic Qin Yi, a combined attack of six or seven Huiyang working with the chess fanatic's top-tier formation, it's already impressive that Xuan Hao has managed to hold out this long...

The Red Lotus Tribulation Fire burned fiercely, and countless rays of divine power descended. Qin Yi, Law, Heaven, Image, Earth, swung his staff and struck again.

Xuan Hao finally couldn't hold on any longer, his body shattered into pieces and exploded with a bang.

Using the astonishing energy released from shattering his physical body, Xuan Hao finally managed to create a crack in the chess formation. He then seized the opportunity to gather his scattered Seven Souls, condense his spirit, and burst out of the crack in the chess formation, roaring back.

The Qian Yuan Divine Sense, capable of Thousand Miles in a Thought, refers to a spiritual release based on the physical body's Purple Mansion and Ming Tang, allowing one to see and be there instantly. Once it loses its support, it becomes an invisible, ghostly spirit, destined either to Body Seizing another's body or become Ghost Cultivator.

Therefore, this kind of soul has lost its special ability to travel Thousand Miles in a Thought, and can only desperately try to fly back.

The force of his explosion that shattered his physical body briefly forced Qin Yi and the others to defend themselves. By the time they regained their senses, Xuan Hao's soul had already flown far away.

"Damn, Qian Yuan is really hard to kill; he managed to escape." Qin Yi stepped into the void and shot off like a cannonball. "Chase!"

A group of cultivators from the Thousand Mountains Alliance followed closely behind, each worried that Xuan Hao might have found some kind of spiritual entity upon returning, which would bring endless trouble from then on.

Within each person's Sea of Consciousness echoed Xuan Hao's venomous roar, "Letting me escape was your greatest mistake! A hundred years from now, I will make you all wish you were dead!"

"Shut up, I hate this kind of villainous rant the most." Qin Yi chased after him, and a Soul Arrow suddenly descended.

Xuan Hao's soul scrambled to avoid the attack, shouting fiercely, "Especially you, Qin Yi! We'll settle our old and new scores slowly, but I will crush every bone in your body and sink your soul into the Netherworld Abyss of Ghosts of countless ghosts..."

"I told you to shut up! I hate this kind of padding when I read books; it makes the villains look stupid. Don't push me."

In the chase, only the chess fanatic remained unmoved.

He was still tidying up his chessboard, the enormous empty board slowly shrinking and melting into his palm. The patterns on the board now resembled mountains and rivers, crisscrossing paths, the black and white representing day and night, and the interwoven energies like the smoke and fire of human life, and the clouds and mist of the world.

The chess fanatic watched for a while, then suddenly grinned and said, "It's done."

As the words were spoken, a scream of Xuan Hao came from a thousand miles away, "What happened?!"

Within the Profound Yin Sect, Yu Fuzi's figure floated, his expression calm, but his eyes concealed a ferocity. "See you in the next life, Sect Master."

Xuan Hao crashed into his own Mountain Protection Array, thinking he could simply pass through, but instead, he was hit squarely. The Qian Yuan Level power of the Mountain Protection Array silently enveloped his soul, and his screams grew weaker and weaker. His ethereal soul seemed to be absorbed by the Mountain Protection Array, which glowed and appeared to have become even thicker.

Xuan Hao's soul has vanished without a trace, completely disappeared.

Without a physical body to protect it, even Liusu dared not wander around in her pure soul form. This pure soul form crashed headlong into the Mountain Protection Array, and the outcome was predictable.

Qin Yi slammed on the brakes; he hadn't expected this turn of events, and his eyes widened in surprise.

The only one who wasn't surprised was the chess fanatic. Thousands of miles away, a faint black and white light emanated from the chess fanatic, piercing the sky and intertwining with the clouds. This strange phenomenon could be heard far and wide.

Cloud Wanderer and the others were startled and turned around in astonishment. This light was...

Proving the Dao of Qian Yuan?

This guy claims he's only at the early stage of the Huiyang realm? He even looks down on others for using chess pieces, but he's the biggest liar himself!
