Ken Dai immediately took out the Communication Jade from his storage ring and listened to what Patriarch Gu Ming-Hun had to say. He then informed him of his location.After that, he checked once more on the captive girls being held inside the cave.Gu Ming-Hun shot toward the meeting location. He was accompanied by two leaders at the Peak Emperor Realm. They flew with lightning-like speed, disappearing in the blink of an eye.°°°°°"How are the preparations, Commander?" the General in charge of the rescue mission asked.The Commander cupped his fists and replied, "Everything is already in position according to our plan. We're only waiting for your signal, General," he said before waiting for the General's response."Then we'll begin soon. The guards will be changing shifts shortly. That's when you'll signal everyone else to move.""Understood, General," he replied before walking back to his group.A few moments later, movement could be seen inside the cave as the guards changed shifts

"Stop...!!"Gu Ming-Hun turned his head and smiled at Chong Ling. "I've been waiting for you here for a very long time, Chong Ling. I almost managed to take them away," he said, his smile still lingering."Stop what you're doing, Ming-Hun," Chong Ling said as he advanced one step at a time."Hahaha! Just a little longer and I'll be able to revive my master. He has already promised to bring my wife back to life. Do you remember my wife, Chong Ling? The woman you killed!" he shouted, glaring with wide, furious eyes."Forgive me for what happened in the past. But the dead cannot be brought back to life. You're being deceived by a demon. Wake up!" Patriarch Chong Ling tried to persuade him."Hahaha! There's no need to remind me. I'm perfectly sane. You're the one blinded by what you did in the past. Everyone else will bear the consequences. Wait for the destruction of your sect. Enjoy your final days in this world," he said before activating the teleportation array.He then disappeared to

"Greetings, Patriarch..." the guards on duty greeted respectfully as they pushed open the massive gates.Patriarch Chong Ling nodded before turning toward Chang San."Come in, Young Chang. Make yourself at home," he said with a warm smile before walking inside.Chang San simply nodded in response.As they walked, Patriarch Chong Ling introduced the Sword of Virtue Sect to Chang San. Their conversation was relaxed and casual. Every elder and disciple they passed greeted the Patriarch with utmost respect."Let's continue our conversation inside," Chong Ling said after arriving at his residence.The two entered together, and Patriarch Chong Ling gestured toward a chair, inviting Chang San to sit.He then used telepathy to instruct the head steward to prepare food for his guest.A few moments passed in silence before the servants arrived, carrying dishes of food and refreshments.Chong Ling picked up a teapot and a cup, poured some tea, then handed it to Chang San."Please, have a drink a

As far as the eye could see, a vast expanse of golden sand stretched before her. She had no idea how long she had been flying, but one thing was certain—she was beginning to grow exhausted.After traveling several more miles, she decided to descend when she spotted a massive tree standing alone in the middle of the desert.A graceful woman slowly landed beneath it. Dressed in a long green robe, she radiated breathtaking beauty. She had been born with an extraordinary appearance, and her elegant aura captivated anyone who laid eyes upon her.Cao Ling'an slowly descended and spread out her spiritual sense. It should be remembered that she had now reached the Early Emperor Realm, allowing her to use spiritual perception. After confirming that there were no dangerous auras nearby, she searched for a shaded place beneath the tree to rest from the scorching sun.Several pairs of eyes quietly observed every movement of the young woman from afar. They watched her through a mirror placed befor

The Righteous Sword Sect also did not remain idle. Dong Hu, the commander of the sect's defenses, immediately changed their battle strategy, putting his tactics into action.Seeing the enemy forces begin to retreat, Gu Bang became even more excited."Keep advancing!" he roared, amplifying his voice with inner energy. His shout echoed across the battlefield.His troops chased after the retreating enemies, completely unaware of what awaited them."Activate the Illusion Formation!" Dong Hu shouted from afar.Moments later, thick mist engulfed the enemy's vision. Soon, the sounds of collisions and agonized screams echoed from within the fog.They had begun slaughtering one another, mistaking their own comrades for enemies.After several incense sticks' worth of time, the screams and sounds of battle gradually faded away.Dong Hu waved his hand toward the mist, sending out a crescent-shaped wave of energy. Slowly, the illusion dissipated.What remained was a horrifying sight.The enemy sol
