At the border of Central Province, amid dense forests in the mountains.

Xuan Lin disguised as a woodcutter, carrying a bundle of firewood in the forest. Occasionally, he bent down to pick up a few twigs, holding them in his hand.

With such a disguise, no one would suspect this person to be the former Peak Master of Heavenly Void Peak of Zhenwu Sect, a grand master in the True Pill Realm.

Meanwhile, although this place is within the Central Province, it lies deep in the mountains, rarely visited by humans. Other than some mountain people and hunters, others might not really search here.

But such a presumption is based on a lack of urgency.

When the entire world is searching for someone, no matter how well-hidden they are, there will eventually be a day when they are exposed.

Indeed, at this time, three figures dressed in black sturdy outfits approached from three directions, slowly surrounding this seemingly ordinary woodcutter.

"Xuan Lin, the traitor of True Martial, you're quite good at hiding. Knowing that heading north is the territory of Hou Qian and Northern Zhou, where spies of Shadow Pavilion and Northern Zhou are scattered, you decided to move south and bypass through the border of Central Province, attempting to head to East Province."

The leading cold-faced man stopped in front of the woodcutter and spoke coldly.

Even though Feichao Town in East Province was destroyed in a great battle, it's undeniable that, due to the protection of the Jiang Family, East Province faces fewer disruptions, and consequently, the spies from other forces are fewer.

This kind of place is perfect for Xuan Lin to hide now.

But unfortunately, before Xuan Lin could reach East Province, he was found by the Six Gates.

"Six Gates, Leng Kuangtu," Xuan Lin slowly raised his head and stared directly at the leading cold-faced man, "I expected many people, but never thought Six Gates would be the first to find me. I originally thought Six Gates had been crippled by Qing Yu."

He then burst into a laugh, "Haha, it's true, a mad dog wanting revenge would naturally use all its strength to sniff out hope with its nose."

"You—"

On hearing this, Bu Lengchuan, standing on the side, instantly exploded in murderous intent.

Xuan Lin's sarcasm didn't affect Leng Kuangtu's composure, but it did provoke the young Bu Lengchuan.

At this instant, the firewood on his back scattered, and Xuan Lin drew out a dazzling long sword, thrusting it into the ground, "Heavenly Lament."

The Mysterious Dao Map instantly unfolded, carrying invisible Qi Force filled with immense power, ravaging the terrain, flipping the ground and shattering huge trees wherever it passed.

"Ha!"

Leng Kuangtu let out a low shout, swinging his blade horizontally, tiny Blade Energy dissecting the Mystic Energy.

His self-created "Dismantling Blade Style" may not be some ancient supreme Divine Skill, but it was the most suitable Sword Technique for Leng Kuangtu. In the past, within the True Pill Realm, there was no True Qi that Leng Kuangtu couldn't dismantle. But today, with the "Dismantling Blade Style" facing the "Soldier Armor Martial Scripture," defeat was inevitable.

"Boom—"

A muffled sound echoed as Leng Kuangtu's feet plowed two long furrows in the ground, colliding into the big tree behind him.

If he was like this, the other two were even worse off. Facing the sudden explosive force, the three were instantly repelled.

"Splitting Universe Majesty."

One victory, attack first, Xuan Lin shifted his Qi Mechanism, slashing downward with his sword, leaving a long mark in the sky resembling a vertical eye, bursting with countless sharp energies.

He intended for a quick victory, to completely resolve the matter with the first people from Six Gates who found him.

But at this moment, Fierce Wave Palm Force burst forth, overwhelming Qi Force instantly shattered the sharp Sword Qi, its momentum unabated, transforming its force into waves surging toward Xuan Lin.

"Divinity Realm!"

The powerful aura made Xuan Lin immediately realize this would be a formidable foe. Acting decisively, Xuan Lin burned essence blood to wield his sword with Qi.

"Woooo—"

The long sword spun at his top, emitting a roaring sound akin to a storm sweeping across, and then, a swing like a heavy mountain.

"Earth Scroll·Sky Return Earth Slash."

Though merely a thin Sword, it now seemed like lofty mountains, with unprecedented heft and formidable power.

If the Qi tide is the ocean's fierce wave, then Xuan Lin's strike was the immovable reef.

But if the tide is too great, even a reef will break.

"Boom—"

In the explosive sound, the mountain-like slash collided with the fierce wave, the imposing force made everyone feel as if witnessing waves crashing against the shore, the majestic momentum stirring their hearts.

However, after initially blocking the tide, the next wave shattered the reef.

"Boom—"

Under the more ferocious second wave, the long sword was knocked flying, slamming against Xuan Lin's chest, causing him to spit out red pill-like blood and retreat seven or eight steps before stopping.

"Able to withstand my palm, the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture,' truly deserves the title of Divine Skill created by Qingyu Demon Path."

Amidst the exclamation, a middle-aged man in a majestic Qilin Robe stepped out, a tide-like powerful presence surged from all sides, completely cutting off Xuan Lin's escape intentions.

"Divine Captors······" Xuan Lin swallowed the blood-tasted with iron rust and gazed at the newcomer, uttering words of dissatisfaction.

The Divine Captors of Six Gates were supposedly killed by Qing Yu a year and a half ago. Nevertheless, the former Divine Captors still survive. He was once injured under the guise of Xuantian wielding Qing Yu's blade, but luckily, he only suffered heavy wounds, with hope of recovery.

Over more than two years ago, the former Divine Captors returned to power, supporting the turbulent Six Gates.

"Indeed, it's me," nodded the Divine Captors, "Able to take on my palm directly, Qingyu Demon Path's Divine Skill indeed deserves an evaluation as a peerless Divine Skill."

Though he aimed to leave a live target, he didn't exert full strength, still channeling nearly eighty percent of his Power. Such a formidable palm force was directly taken by Xuan Lin, and all he suffered was a slightly severe injury.

This astonishing display of skill is not due to Xuan Lin's deep foundation but the might of the "Soldier Armor Martial Scripture."

"After recovering, you should simply retire; Divine Captors, why must you muddy the waters? You know, the 'Soldier Armor Martial Scripture' belonged to Qing Yu."

Xuan Lin spat blood and smirked.

"Heh, you actually dare use Qingyu Demon Path to threaten me," responded the Divine Captors with an ironic laugh. "You, a mere True Pill, dared to steal Qing Yu's scriptures, what do I fear?

Wuming regarded me as a mentor, and Xihai was my adopted daughter, both perished due to Qingyu Demon Path's schemes. Now, I'm out of seclusion to battle Qingyu Demon Path to the end!"

Saying this, even with his Mental State, bloodshot appeared in his eyes, revealing his anger.

"I'm afraid even if you die, Daoist Master wouldn't be harmed in the slightest."

An individual from another faction appeared, voice arriving prior to his silhouette. Based on his words of respect, this third party is likely linked to True Martial Dao Jun.

Then, fleeting shadows swiftly maneuvered through the woods, approaching quickly, and within moments, two figures emerged before Divine Captors and the others.

Wearing black Sword Robes, with sword marks and red hair, the newcomers were Sword Maiden and Xiao Qiye, subordinates of Qing Yu.

Their arrival further thickened the atmosphere at the scene.
