The next day.

Xu Ping was silently cultivating the 'Earth Master's Gaze' in the training room when the Divine Sense message of the Water Lake Rat penetrated the walls, directly entering his Sea of Consciousness.

"Master, Yang Hong has come again!"

"Yang Hong?"

Xu Ping's hand abruptly paused, and he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It had only been a day, and under normal circumstances, it should have been impossible for Yang Hong to return to the Luoyun Sect so quickly.

Could he have overlooked something important and forgotten to explain?

Thoughts flashed through Xu Ping's mind like lightning. He immediately responded through Divine Sense transmission: "Understood, I will personally go to greet him."

Xu Ping tidied his robe slightly and then calmly walked out of the training room to meet Yang Hong.

...

Xu Ping arrived at the open space of Thousand Leaves Mountain and looked up, seeing Yang Hong's Spiritual Boat quietly hovering above the array.

"Elder Yang, is there something that was not thoroughly explained?"

Xu Ping asked with a full-faced smile, while taking out the array token, gently waving it to manipulate the array and slowly reveal a passage.

"Indeed, there's still one crucial matter that hasn't been explained," Yang Hong nodded solemnly, then steadily controlled the Spiritual Boat to slowly descend onto the open ground.

"I wonder..."

Without the obstruction of the array, when Xu Ping clearly saw Yang Hong before him, his pupils suddenly constricted.

Yet, his face showed no change as he maintained a smile and continued to ask, "What exactly is the matter Elder Yang has yet to explain?"

"Why don't we move to the pavilion and discuss it slowly?"

"Alright!" Yang Hong nodded in agreement.

"Please!"

Xu Ping made a gesture of invitation and then led the way.

Yang Hong followed unhurriedly behind.

At this moment, as he looked at Xu Ping, who was just a Zhang away in front of him, a sinister gleam flashed deep in his eyes.

However, just as he was secretly preparing to make a move, two arrays enveloping Thousand Leaves Mountain suddenly burst out with dazzling and intense spiritual light.

In an instant, a pressure akin to a mountain swept towards him overwhelmingly.

Under this immensely powerful pressure, he felt his body abruptly sink, as if burdened by weight of ten thousand jun.

Even the flow of mana in his Dantian became extremely obscured and difficult, every cycle seeming to break through multiple obstacles.

"Array suppression?" Yang Hong's face instantly revealed a trace of panic.

But before he had time to take any countermeasures.

Rumble!

A gigantic Thunder Dragon, carrying with it an earth-shattering force, charged at him swiftly!

This Thunder Dragon was densely entwined with crackling arcs of electricity, and between its electric flashes, it exuded a terrifying aura seemingly capable of destroying the heavens and the earth, making one's heart tremble.

"Tier-three talisman!" Yang Hong's face was full of shock and horror.

How could he not realize that he had been completely exposed?

Yet he couldn't comprehend why he had been exposed?

Though his disguise wasn't the most sophisticated, it was not something a mere Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment could see through!

No time for further thought, his figure retreated as fast as lightning, trying to quickly distance himself from the Thunder Dragon.

Immediately after, he unsparingly summoned his treasure-level shield.

"Protect!"

He quickly formed seals with his hands, chanting in a low voice.

In a flash, spiritual light erupted, and a thick black barrier appeared abruptly in front of him.

On the surface of the black barrier, mysterious runes flowed slowly like lively fish, emitting a peculiar glow.

Rumble!

Just as the black barrier soared up.

The unbelievably powerful Thunder Dragon crashed into the barrier with unmatched force, producing a deafening roar, as if it would shatter the whole world.

In an instant, thunder radiated everywhere, the intense light akin to a tide spreading around, illuminating the entire world.

Buzz!

The tremendous impact made the shield tremble intensely, its concentrated black glow dimming instantly.

Meanwhile, the surrounding ground began to shake violently, with countless stones of different sizes flying high and scattering in all directions.

Were it not for the array being exerted to its fullest, the entire summit of Thousand Leaves Mountain might have been overturned by this terrifying impact.

The next moment.

"Crack."

Amidst a crisp shattering sound, the barrier in front of Yang Hong finally couldn't bear the load and cracked.

"No good!"

Yang Hong's expression instantly turned as pale as a sheet, his demeanor drastically changing.

He gritted his teeth and desperately drained all his mana, continuously infusing it into the treasure, attempting a final struggle.

Yet, it was all in vain. The Cyan Profound Divine Thunder Talisman inherently contained the terrorizing power of a Golden Core expert.

Moreover, his mana was suppressed by at least twenty percent by the array, and at this moment, no matter how hard he tried to resist, it was like hitting a rock with an egg, utterly futile.

Boom!

The black shield finally shattered completely, disintegrating into countless fragments scattered into the air.

The purple Thunder Dragon smashed through the treasure shield with no resistance, directly and heavily hitting Yang Hong's Protective Spiritual Light.

"Crackle!"

The Thunder Power erupted instantly, like a raging tide, easily shattering his Protective Spiritual Light and then forcefully rushing through to crash upon him.

"Boom!"

Yang Hong was instantly engulfed in thunderlight, his body uncontrollably flying backward dozens of Zhang away, crashing heavily onto a huge rock.

The massive impact shattered the rock into pieces, with fragments flying in all directions.

Moments later, the smoke and dust slowly dispersed.

"Cough cough... Pfft!"

A burly middle-aged man lay in disarray amidst the stones, coughing with difficulty, a mouthful of bright red blood involuntarily spouting from his mouth.
