After leaving the Yu Kingdom, Li Fuchan rushed westward, heading straight for the Year Kingdom.

He must rescue Wei Xinyun as soon as possible.

The current King of the Year Kingdom has been temporarily freed from the control of the Human Reversal by his machinations, and is no longer the muddle- Human Reversal.

Once some genuine clarity is restored, the first thing to examine will likely be the flaws in Wei Xinyun's character.

Moreover, it is unknown whether these rulers possessed the means to detect Celestial Person or humankind.

This time, he spared no expense, bringing over thirty False Body from the Grotto Heaven and scattering them all into the Imperial City Year Kingdom.

The people in this Blessed Land are not Aperture Opening, and their Three Qi Immovable, so they naturally cannot distinguish between truth and falsehood. They only need to casually conjure up a few clumps of Earth-and-Stone Qi or mud and water energy to easily imitate the form, without causing any loss to themselves. It is perfect for confusing people.

After scattering his False Body, he stealthily made his way back into the palace of the Year Kingdom.

Before he had gone far, he ran into the old eunuch he had kidnapped not long ago to ask for directions.

Upon seeing him, the old eunuch nearly popped his eyes out and exclaimed, "It's you again!"

Then, as if suddenly realizing something, his face darkened. "You really haven't given up your wicked intentions. You must have heard the news that the King has summoned the Twelfth Prince back, so you sneaked in again."

He said with great distress, "Child, such love is not accepted by the world. Now that the Twelfth Prince has returned to the palace, your statuses are worlds apart, and it is impossible for you two to be together again." Upon hearing this, Li Fuchan was stunned, and several black lines instantly appeared on her forehead.

At this critical moment, he had no time to deal with him. He moved quickly behind him, knocked him unconscious, and then found a quiet corner to gently place him down.

This old eunuch showed some integrity last time; we can't just let him lie on the road and be trampled on.

He traversed the many corridors and made his way straight to Wei Xinyun's bedchamber. Just as he was about to step inside, a low, angry shout came from behind him, "How dare you trespass into my bedchamber?"

Li Fuchan turned around and saw Wei Xinyun standing under the corridor, dressed in light white armor, which made her figure appear even more upright and elegant.

In her hand she held a menacing, dark blue Great Halberd, its blade covered in fine scales and its edge menacing. Together with her cool yet subtly gentle face, it created a strikingly incongruous yet captivatingly heroic aura.

The moment she saw Li Fuchan's face clearly, her expression froze, and she exclaimed, "It's you? You're not...!"

Before she could finish speaking, Li Fuchan moved and appeared in front of her.

Wei Xinyun's pupils contracted slightly, clearly startled by his sudden burst of speed.

A fleeting look of surprise crossed Wei Xinyun's eyes, which quickly turned cold and fierce as she brought her Great Halberd down on Li Fuchan's head with a heavy whistling sound.

With the added power of her Hegemonic Art, this strike from her halberd was incredibly strong. Li Fuchan didn't want to take it head-on, so she simply dodged to the side, saying, "Today, your senior brother will teach you what respect and hierarchy mean."

"Die!" Wei Xinyun shouted coldly, sweeping her Great Halberd horizontally. Li Fuchan's figure suddenly turned into a cloud of water vapor and exploded in front of her, without even touching the hem of her clothes.

She was taken aback when she saw this, and the next moment she saw more than a dozen Daoist appear simultaneously from all directions.

It turned out that they were all Li Fuchan, surrounding her.

Although the powerful Hegemonic Art of the Nian Renshang are formidable, they are ultimately not Ancient Arts and lack the ever-changing and unpredictable methods. Compared with Ancient Arts such as the "Myriad Transformations at Will Register", they are far inferior.

Wei Xinyun, having been influenced by Human Reversal and thus burdened with a layer of Knowledge-and-Vision Obstruction, had never witnessed such a scene before. However, she only froze for a moment before regaining her senses, coldly raising her Great Halberd: "Playing tricks."

Black light surged around him as he swung his halberd at the figure charging towards him.

The halberds flashed menacingly, and where the halberds struck Li Fuchan had already approached, was instantly reduced to ashes.

The next moment, more than a dozen Li Fuchan pounced on him at the same time.

Wei Xinyun swung her halberd repeatedly, and wherever the black light passed, the False Body crumbled and shattered into dust.

Just as she was about to strike again, her heart suddenly skipped a beat, and she felt her muscles and bones go weak, and her vision blurred.

She abruptly looked up at the endless stream of False Body, vaguely realizing the truth, and gritted her teeth, saying, "You poisoned me."

Li Fuchan slowly emerged from behind the False Body, watching her fall backward to the ground, his expression calm. He was currently suppressed by the Human-Reversal Blessed Land, unable to use his Law Power and devoid of cultivation, but possessing peak-level combat skills among mortals. Furthermore, due to his caution, he had not practiced the Hegemonic Art of the Nian Renshang that he had already mastered. To think that he could take Wei Xinyun away by force was nothing short of a pipe dream.

This method, though unorthodox, is the most effective.

Using False Body as a stepping stone, they layered the sleeping pills into her mouth and nose.

He felt no moral burden whatsoever about it.

After all, how upright can you expect someone who would drug bats in order to choose Bat King to be?

He led Wei Xinyun on a clandestine escape, watching the supplies being transported to the front lines, and murmured, "Now that the three rulers have broken free from the influence of the Human Reversal and regained their senses, they must now intend to use the chaos generated by the great war to fight against the Human Reversal within the Human-Reversal Blessed Land. In this way, they will have even more methods and abilities at their disposal."

"Next, they will definitely use every means to search for us Celestial Person. Even Wei Shuo and Wei Xiang will not be able to hide anymore. But where exactly did Ning Xiu Cong go?"

Ning Xiu Cong must be like Wei Xinyun, affected by the Knowledge-and-Vision Obstruction of the Human-Reversal Blessed Land, and at this moment, he doesn't know where he is hiding.

Li Fuchan guessed that Ning Xiu Cong was most likely in the Yu Kingdom.

"Given the current situation, regardless of his status in the Yu Kingdom, the Regent King of the Yu Kingdom will surely investigate any abnormalities within the country and find him sooner or later. I wonder what Wei Shuo and Wei Xiang's attitude towards him is, and whether they will go to his rescue?"

Li Fuchan turned to look at Wei Xinyun, who was unconscious behind him, hesitated for a moment, and then headed in the direction the army was marching, instead of going to the Yu Kingdom.

If Ning Xiu Cong was lucky enough to escape from the Yu Kingdom, or even just to appear before him, he wouldn't hesitate to help, even just out of respect for Ning Xiuqing. However, actively seeking him out was not something Li Fuchan was considering.

In the Human-Reversal Blessed Land, the real enemy is not the rulers of the Three Kingdoms, but a hidden force lurking and plotting. He cannot be careless; he must first protect the most important person Wei Xinyun, before doing what he needs to do.

Meanwhile, Wei Shuo and Wei Xiang, who were still outside the border of the River Kingdom, had already learned of the changes in the current situation within the Blessed Land.

"Senior brother, what should we do now?"

Wei Shuo with a gloomy face, looking ahead, and muttered, "Someone must have made a move. Someone is accelerating the process of reversing the Human-Reversal Blessed Land Human Reversal."

Wei Xiang asked incredulously, "Who could possibly have such an ability?"

Wei Shuo thoughtfully, "Perhaps it's some kind of Law Treasure."

Wei Xiang asked, "What should we do now? Should we go find Ning Xiu Cong again?"

Wei Shuo thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly turned cold. He said, "No, since someone is secretly pushing the process of Human Reversal, this is also an opportunity for us. The bigger the commotion, the more beneficial it will be for locating the Grotto Heaven. Now that the situation has changed, Ning Xiu Cong no longer of any use."

"Let's go, let's go to the Year Kingdom."
