Xing Li Ren glared at the black flag in the sheep-headed person's hand, gritting his teeth in anger.

"Flag of Waves! Xing Yixuan, so it's you!"

Xing Yixuan, realizing her identity had been exposed, no longer tried to hide it and quickly tore off her sheep-headed mask.

"Xing Li Ren, so what if it's me?"

"You and I have no grievances in the past, no enmity in recent days. How could you, disregarding the bonds of kinship, attack me without reason? What is your true intention?" Xing Li Ren asked, his face full of rage.

Xing Yixuan's expression was cold as she responded sharply.

"Xing Li Ren, for your own selfish desires, you betrayed the family, and you still have the face to speak of 'kinship.' Today, I will cleanse the Xing family and rid it of traitors."

Xing Li Ren's expression grew flustered, clearly not having anticipated that his secret dealings with the Jing family would be uncovered by Xing Yixuan.

He cast a glance at Jing Lie, his eyes flickering with a glimmer of hope.

At this moment, Xing Li Ren's mind was fixed on a single thought—he had to eliminate Xing Yixuan; only then could he protect the secret.

The situation now was becoming extremely troublesome for Jing Lie.

Zhenbao Peak was too close to Fang City, and the Xing family's Nascent Soul cultivators could arrive at any time.

If Xing Yixuan, a genius of the Xing family, were to be killed here, it would be the same as openly tearing the relationship with the Xing family.

Jing Lie turned his head, looking to the grey-robed old man behind him with a questioning gaze.

The old man's eyes were sharp, and he subtly nodded.

Jing Lie turned back, his sharp gaze locking onto Xing Yixuan, his eyes filled with a cold killing intent.

He poured all his internal energy into the flag, and the spiritual power surged like a tidal wave into the Flag of Wind Dragon.

In an instant, the wind howled once again, far more violently than before!

A hurricane suddenly appeared, growing taller than several hundred yards, as if it were trying to tear apart the night sky.

Xing Yixuan looked at the approaching hurricane, showing no fear. She slightly parted her red lips and coldly spoke.

"Very well! Let me see just how capable Jing Lie, the so-called number one Golden Core cultivator of the Jing family, truly is."

Xing Yixuan unleashed the full power of the Flag of Waves without hesitation.

Water vapor filled the air, and a massive water dragon, over a hundred yards long, materialized from the mist.

Each scale of the dragon shimmered with a cold gleam, resembling a true giant dragon.

"Go!"

Xing Yixuan whispered.

The water dragon, its claws bared, surged forward.

In an instant, the water dragon collided with the hurricane.

The dragon's enormous body rolled within the hurricane.

Its claws slashed through the air with sharp cold light, striking the hurricane with the force of a thunderbolt.

The dragon's tail swept across with immense power, trying to tear apart the storm.

The hurricane, not to be outdone, howled with fury, the wind slicing at the dragon's body.

Both Jing Lie and Xing Yixuan were exerting all their strength into their respective treasures, their faces gradually growing pale, clearly exhausted from the immense effort.

Boom!

Suddenly, the hurricane and the water dragon both shattered.

A deafening roar reverberated through the sky.

The earth shook violently.

The wild wind swept through.

Torrential rain poured down.

It was as though a violent storm had descended.

The terrifying shockwave spread in all directions, sweeping across a radius of several dozen miles.

Trees were uprooted, rocks shattered in an instant, and the entire earth trembled under the force of this power.

The torrential raindrops smashed against the ground, making a "crackling" sound.

The rain and the fierce wind intertwined, creating a blurred, broken world.

Xing Yixuan and Jing Lie were both affected by the violent forces to varying degrees.

Both of them spat out blood, their bodies stumbling backward several paces, clearly having fought to a standstill.

Outside the beast cave where Song Wen hid, debris like broken stones, dirt, and rotten wood continuously fell, creating a scene that resembled a natural disaster.

He couldn't help but click his tongue in astonishment.

Xing Yixuan and Jing Lie had both unleashed their full strength, and the power they exerted was so great that the violent wind and rain probably extended across a radius of dozens of miles.

What level of treasures were they using?

Top-grade treasures? Or their personal treasures?

"Seems like there's no chance to seize the Heavenly Spirit Pill now." Song Wen thought to himself.

At this moment.

More than thirty miles away, in a valley, the fierce wind and rain raged above it.

In the dark valley, two figures stood tall.

In front of one of them, a blood-colored array disk hovered.

This person was continuously changing his hand seals, and with each seal, the runes on the array disk grew increasingly brighter.

As he continued to pour his spiritual power into the disk, it began to vibrate, emitting a deep, humming sound.

The blood-red light on the array disk gradually intensified, starting as a faint crimson, but with time, it became increasingly blinding, as though blood was boiling under the scorching sun.

The entire valley was bathed in this bloody light, casting a crimson hue as if the blood was trying to tear apart the dark night sky.

At the same time, the spiritual energy within the valley boiled like boiling water, surging relentlessly.

Suddenly, a jet-black array barrier rose from the ground, enveloping the entire valley.

As soon as the array barrier appeared, it rapidly expanded outward.

Its speed was as fast as lightning breaking through the air, or a meteor falling to the earth, instantly covering a radius of a hundred miles.

As the array barrier expanded, the air was compressed, making a sharp, whistling sound.

Due to the cover of the aftershocks from the battle between Xing Yixuan and Jing Lie, the strange phenomena and the expanding array barrier in the valley didn't seem as eye-catching.

Song Wen watched as the black light screen passed through his body and quickly swept by. His heart tightened, a sense of inexplicable panic rising within him.

He hurriedly looked inward at his body but found nothing unusual.

However, the sense of unease lingered, as though a great danger was approaching.

Song Wen didn't dare to remain hidden any longer. He scrambled out of the beast cave and dashed through the dark forest, trying to get away from the area.

The fourteen people on Zhenbao Peak also felt the black light screen pass through their bodies.

Everyone, except for the grey-robed elder, had expressions of shock.

The grey-robed elder turned and looked toward the valley, a cold smile curling on his lips.

Thirty breaths later, Song Wen had escaped more than thirty miles, but a mysterious dark array barrier blocked his path.

Song Wen gathered his spiritual power and lifted a fist-sized stone.

The stone suddenly accelerated, crashing toward the array's light screen.

Just as the stone was about to touch the light screen, it emitted a dark, shadowy light.

Under this black light, the stone shattered into countless tiny pieces, scattering in all directions.

Song Wen's eyes flashed with surprise—this array light screen actually had an active counterattack.

As Song Wen pondered how to escape this array, the entire formation suddenly surged with a deep, black light, darkening the space within, as if the ink hadn't yet spread, with no light visible.

Song Wen's expression grew serious, his eyes fixed on the array's light screen, alert for any unknown dangers.

Suddenly, he felt his body lighten, and an intense feeling of vertigo surged.

Then, Song Wen felt dizzy, and everything before him twisted into a surreal blur.
