Panicked voices were heard from another direction. The junior disciples of the Thousand Poison Sect, who were fighting Wenli, broke formation. Their movements were rushed and reckless. They tried to reach Juanzhi, leaping toward him without regard for their current combat positions. Their attachment to that figure made them lose focus. But it was at that moment that a massive opening appeared. “Hmmp... daring to expose such an opening while fighting me!” Wenli’s voice was calm but carried a piercing pressure. His eyes gleamed. At the same time, Dantai Yinyi raised her bow. They no longer held back, immediately firing two golden arrows each. Their movements were synchronized, as if they had trained for years for this very moment. There was no error in timing, direction, or force. The world seemed to pause the moment the bowstrings were released. WHOOSSHH!!! Four arrows shot forward at incredible speed, even causing the air to vibrate. Their golden tips blazed as they silently cut

“Hmmp!” The Snow Wolf merely snorted coldly, like a winter wind sweeping through the valley without mercy. No further words followed. He raised his hand and waved it once, the motion appearing light, but the world inside Tian Chen’s dantian immediately underwent a transformation. A small vortex formed again in the sea of dantian energy, slowly spinning as if opening a hidden gate that had long been sealed by the laws of Tian Chen’s internal world.

It instantly merged into Tian Chen’s body, wrapping him in an invisible veil of icy mist. “Boy, this time I’ll let you remain conscious as I control your body! But after this, fight harder. Don’t disgrace the be

Tian Chen, who was inside his own soul, could only remain silent while watching it all. He had never imagined that just a breath of his bloodline could erase a Qi Monarch stage so easily. His thoughts were shaken, not from fear, but from the realization that the gap between his former self and the power just displayed had been vastly surpassed. “I must become stronger! I must never let my body be forcibly taken over like this again!” Far away from where the ancient palace appeared, in the most hidden place in the Lingxiao Continent, there was a large tunnel in a secret forest. From the outside, it looked like a cave. But upon entering, anyone would be shocked. Because inside that tunnel were many rooms. It was exactly like an underground dwelling. The tunnel was not only deep but also wide and intricately structured. Each room could house several people. However, it seemed that each room represented the occupant's status, as the differences between the rooms were obvious. Some wer
