Outside Golden Ao Mountain in Nanzhao, in the Great Void, more than ten figures are facing off.

The right side is mostly occupied by the powerful figures of the Purple Mansion faction in the Nanzhao region, such as the Purple Mansion Ancestor.

On the left, Gui Hong and Nuoli stood side by side. A giant snake slowly coiled behind them, with Zhang Ziyan Zhu Xuejie standing on its back.

On the right are a woman dressed in Bai People clothing and a young man in a mountain god robe.

The woman spoke first, her voice indifferent:

"Gui Hong, although Fellow Daoist Chu was guilty of spying outside the mountain, how could your sect, as a legitimate branch of the Mysterious Gate, kill someone over such a trivial matter?"

She paused briefly, noticing the impatience in Gui Hong's eyes. Though unwilling to get involved, most of the people behind her were all allied with the Nanzhao Kingdom, so she had no choice but to step forward and continue, steeling herself:

"While your esteemed Daoist is of noble status, he has not yet attained the Purple Mansion. Fellow Daoist Chu is, after all, Purple Mansion True Person. How can you take his life over such a trivial matter?"

Gui Hong rolled his eyes and said coldly:

"Meng Shixi, don't flatter yourself. Su Yao's position as Daoist Child was personally recognized by the three masters of the Mysterious Gate, stamped with the seals of the Four Celestial Masters, and received congratulatory gifts from the emperors of the Heavenly Court. Let alone some Purple Mansion True Person who appeared out of nowhere, even a ghost messenger from the Underworld or a Divine Pill Master of ordinary Divine Core Perfected One is far less esteemed than him! He was spying outside my Qixia Temple Temple's annex, and he deserved to die. If he dies, he dies; even if his entire clan is buried with him, it is his just deserts!"

His tone became increasingly sarcastic:

"Which eye of yours saw that it was us who did the dirty work? You dare to make baseless accusations without any evidence?"

Meng Shixi's face paled. As a priestess of the Nanzhao Kingdom, she was always treated with respect, even by the Mu King. The Jiankang's New Year's gifts were never lacking. She had never suffered such humiliation. She originally did not want to get involved in the conflict between the court and the Mysterious Gate, preferring to sit on the shore and observe coldly. However, this matter was of great importance, and each family had sent people to secretly monitor the area. Coincidentally, the day Monk Mao's situation changed, only Chu Yishan remained to guard this place. The soul lamp went out the next day, and they only found out after dealing with matters on the other side.

Golden Ao Mountain was already firmly shrouded by an unnamed array.

As the chief priestess, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and come to take charge.

Although the person before them was arrogant and rude, although the other side had fewer people, they had one Purple Mansion Peak Five Laws Purple Mansion cultivator and two Four-Element Great True Person. Even if their side went all out, they could only barely manage a draw.

What's more, the opponent also possesses a Law Treasure!

But now that things have come to this, she has no way out.

Meng Shixi snorted coldly:

"Fellow Daoist, Nanzhao is not without Law Treasure. Don't think that you can do whatever you want in Nanzhao just because you have Law Treasure!"

Gui Hong's expression remained unchanged upon hearing this; he simply fell silent and looked at Nuoli.

Nuoli had a terrible headache. These people were truly blind. They had all been dealing with Monk Mao in the north; who had time to kill that good-for-nothing? If they had spoken politely, they could have helped investigate, but the other party was so rude from the start. Just because someone disappeared near Golden Ao Mountain, it became Golden Ao Mountain's business? It seemed this fight was inevitable.

Then he said loudly:

"What do you mean by that, High Priest? We were both dealing with Monk Mao in the north, so why are you blaming us for that good-for-nothing's disappearance? If you insist on being rude, High Priest, don't blame me for Qixia impolite to Nanzhao as well."

Meng Shixi was furious:

"Then I'd like to see how you, fellow Daoist, intend to be disrespectful to my Nanzhao! You, Qixia, belong to the Mysterious Gate Immortal Dao, while I, Nanzhao, am Orthodox God of Soil and Grain. In terms of status, we are not necessarily inferior!"

She paused:

"Perhaps you two were dealing with Monk Mao in the north before, but..."

She paused, then pointed at the giant snake.

The giant snake's already cold gaze suddenly turned icy. If it was something it had done, it would accept it; but since it wasn't, then it was slander.

It roared angrily:

"If you want to find fault, you can always find a pretext!"

After speaking, the snake's lips parted slightly, its tongue flicking in and out, and in the next moment it transformed into a long sword and attacked Meng Shixi.

Seeing this, Nuoli also threw his spear away.

A rosy glow emanated from Gui Hong's body, as if it were poised to take flight.

Meng Shixi was shocked that her opponent attacked so suddenly. She was caught off guard and had no time to react, watching helplessly as the long sword and spear hurtled towards her.

It was Xue Min, the Mountain God of Cang Mountain, who reacted quickly. With a wave of his hand, the illusory image of Cang Mountain protected everyone.

The sword and spear collided against the mountain shadow, then flew back.

Meng Shixi finally realized what was happening, and gritted her teeth:

"Kill them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten figures rushed towards Gui Hong and his companions.

The giant serpent slapped Zhang Ziyan and Zhu Xuejie, two burdens, with its tail and sent them into the mortal world. Immediately, its earthy yellow aura surged, and it charged towards the enemies who were surrounding it.

Nuoli his hands forming a mudra, endless cold rain and hail poured down from above!

Gui Hong was still in the mood to joke, looking at Nuoli:

"It seems your Fu Water Divine Ability, ' Dawn Cold Grows, ' has also improved."

As soon as he finished speaking, he transformed into a giant raven, with endless rays of light rising from his jet-black feathers.

He flew upwards, his wings flapping, and countless rosy feathers poured down.

At that moment, everyone on the battlefield simultaneously realized that something was wrong.

The originally gray Great Void was now tinged with various colors as the battle raged on. However, in the center of the battlefield, it was as if something had suddenly stripped away all color. Everything became lifeless. The Great Void itself was gray, but occasionally a flash of light would appear; at this moment, the gray was a lifeless, suffocating gray.

Gui Hong was the first to realize something was wrong, and angrily cursed:

"The Heaven and Earth Lose Color!"

Before the words were even finished, the crow's entire body had already transformed into a rosy glow and disappeared into the distance.

Upon hearing these four words, both Nuoli and the giant snake's expressions changed drastically, and they instantly transformed into streaks of light, fleeing at breakneck speed.

Meng Shixi, Xue Min, and the others were initially puzzled, but after a moment's thought, Xue Min's expression suddenly changed drastically, and she shouted:

"Not good!"

Before he finished speaking, he had already transformed into a streak of light and fled. Although Meng Shixi did not recognize this technique, seeing Xue Min's fear, she followed closely behind.

But the power that made the Heaven and Earth Lose Color was even faster than them. In the blink of an eye, the two of them were unable to move, and all the color on their bodies disappeared.

In an instant, everyone who had been fleeing was frozen in place, except for Gui Hong, and all their colors faded away.

But the next moment, the glow of the sunset flew back from afar.

The look in his eyes was as if he had encountered something extremely terrifying.

Although everyone was unable to move, they were all terrified, especially Meng Shixi heart was filled with turmoil:

"Just who could possibly inspire such fear in this Purple Mansion Peak cultivator wielding Law Treasure?"

But the next moment she understood, and saw:

A colossal hand, capable of blotting out the sky, appeared above Gui Hong. With a mere grasp, Law Technique Gui Hong had cast upon himself, the protective barrier erected by his Spirit Treasure, and even the white light emanating from the Jian Lesser Yang Law Treasure were shattered, and Gui Hong was thus captured in its grasp.
