In the sky, a vast expanse of dark Dao Domain unfurled—

It was the Withered Dao Domain of the Dead Phoenix. Where the Dao Domain enveloped, the wild grass rapidly withered, even the swirling snowflakes were dyed red, presenting a hellish scene of eerie desolation!

"Escape!"

Xu Qi led his iron cavalry to charge faster.

Fortunately, the battle on the snowfield had long ended, and the iron cavalry was very close to Jiayong Pass, requiring only a few dozen breaths to reach the foot of the city walls. The guards stationed on the walls immediately activated the Great Array. Countless Array Masters frantically urged the Primordial Power, igniting Primordial Stones, and a massive azure barrier quickly coalesced above Jiayong Pass!

"Clang!"

"Clang!!"

Xu Qi, Iron Eyes, and the elders of Qiantian Palace escorted the iron cavalry back to Jiayong Pass smoothly. Yet before they could even catch their breath, a harsh metallic clang sounded overhead!

Everyone looked up.

Countless golden Sword Qi streaked across the sky, clashing with the Dao Domain, erupting in brilliant flashes like fireworks!

Bursts of Sword Qi exploded!

Xie Xuanyi took a deep breath to stabilize himself.

Realizing the potential connection between Heavenly Phoenix Palace and the Paperman Sect, the battle lost its purpose to continue.

Xie Xuanyi knew that even if he unleashed his ultimate weapon, he couldn't kill the Dead Phoenix.

Fighting on would only fully expose his "bottom card."

Thus, only one option remained.

And that was to flee!

Flee back to the Northern Border Great Wall, flee back to Jiayong Pass!

Yet Xie Xuanyi hadn't expected the Dead Phoenix to dare to pursue him alone to this point.

The two halted outside Jiayong Pass, only twenty or thirty li from the Great Wall.

For a Yang God, this distance required merely a slight thought to pierce the void and arrive instantly!

"You are indeed interesting. Clearly comprehending the Life Dao Realm, yet unwilling to use it..."

The Dead Phoenix squinted her eyes, mocking, staring at the arm of the young man not far away, "Are you deliberately guarding against me, or simply conceding in advance, opting not to resist?"

"Ha..."

Xie Xuanyi chuckled softly, lowering his head slightly.

Under the relentless assault of the Dead Phoenix, his right arm had been inadvertently hit, continuously bleeding.

Scarlet blood beads drifted out from his sleeve, weaving into lines.

"Don't bother with provocation, it's useless."

His Dao Heart couldn't be shaken by mere words.

Losing a Yin God to a Yang God was normal.

Failing to defeat the Dead Phoenix was not shameful.

"Why use the Life Dao Realm to deal with you?"

Xie Xuanyi shook his head, mocking, "Dead Phoenix Great Venerable, I've already given you a chance. From the Northern Border Snow Mountain to Jiayong Pass, nearly a hundred li, you couldn't kill me. After today... you won't have another chance. Go back and tell your Great Palace Master that I look forward to meeting the new 'Throne' of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace."

"..."

The Dead Phoenix's face darkened.

The Great Palace Master had instructed her, if she encountered Xie Xuanyi, to use every means to test the accuracy of the Paperman Sect intelligence.

She had nearly exhausted her methods.

Unfortunately.

Xie Xuanyi was truly formidable, and alone, she couldn't hold him!

Originally believing that a Withered Dao Domain would sever Xie Xuanyi's retreat.

Unexpectedly, the youth's Sword Qi was so sharp... Concentrating the Path of Destruction to a single point, then relying on that peculiar Divine Skill that suppressed Dao Intent, he shattered her Withered Cage with one strike.

Afterwards, it turned into a chase and escape, evolving into the current situation.

By the rules of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, she shouldn't pursue further; this place was already deep enough, and pursuing further... if the Da Chu Yang God arrived, she would be in grave danger.

But to let Xie Xuanyi leave just like that, the resentment in the Dead Phoenix's heart was hard to swallow.

"Don't think you'll be safe escaping to Jiayong Pass."

The Dead Phoenix sneered, saying grimly, "This Great Array won't stop me."

With that said.

She raised her palm.

The boundless Withered Dao Intent spread in the void, transforming into thunder, rumbling and roaring!

She decided to ignore the Great Palace Master's restraints... to break the Jiayong Pass Great Array with her Great Dao Domain, and completely kill Xie Xuanyi here!

Rumble!

Countless strands of Withered Dao Intent entwined and spread.

Two gigantic fiery wings sprouted from the Dead Phoenix's back, making her visage even more ferocious and terrifying... a prelude to manifesting her Lifebound Demon Body!

Xie Xuanyi's expression was grave, silently pressing down on Chen Ke.

Just as he was about to use Divine Thought to instruct the Jiayong Pass guards to retreat.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt sounded from the Heavenly Peak's highest point!

"Boom!"

This thunderbolt, dragon-shaped, surged amidst the black clouds permeated with Withered Dao Intent, faintly visible, where the dragon's head was, a mighty figure in an imperial yellow robe stood.

That figure exuded an indescribable aura of majesty, accompanying the crackling thunder, a torrent of energy fell like a waterfall, spreading and sweeping across the ground!

Rumble——

"Dead Phoenix Daoist, isn't this underestimating Great Chu a bit too much?"

A broad and deep voice echoed.

"Yu Wenbo?!"

The Dead Phoenix looked up, her expression one of surprise and uncertainty as she gazed at the yellow figure in the clouds.

The two were old acquaintances.

In the last great war between the north and south, the Dead Phoenix had crossed paths with Yu Wenbo!

The Demon Country Venerables loved close combat with Human Race Cultivators, but Yu Wenbo was a peculiar existence that troubled all the Venerables, not only because he cultivated the Martial Arts Saint Body, but also for another crucial reason... Qiantian Palace held the "Dragon Descendant's Legacy" from a thousand years ago, allowing Human Martial Artists to wield certain Divine Skills of the Demon Race, and even to manifest a special "True Self Dharma Form"!

"Senior Yu Wen!"

Seeing the familiar figure, Xie Xuanyi breathed a huge sigh of relief, immediately shouting.

On the Heavenly Peak, Yu Wenbo looked down, casting a comforting gaze.

"Little Xie Mountain Master, we meet again."

The Qiantian Palace Master nodded slightly towards Xie Xuanyi, smiling.

This was their second meeting...

The last time, Yu Wenbo arrived at the South Border aboard a Cloud Ship to hunt Xie Xuanyi.

But this time, Yu Wenbo was here to save Xie Xuanyi.

Finally, the two became allies, able to fight side by side!

"Clang!"

Beside Yu Wenbo stood an old servant in black, shackled by iron chains, clinking as they collided.

This old servant was Ya Zi.

In the last South Border war, guided by "Xuan Ming," Ya Zi finally broke through the long-constrained "Great Daoist Abyss," successfully Condensing Dao... becoming a genuine "Yang God Realm" Great Demon!

He stared intensely at the nearby Dead Phoenix, his eyes filled with Killing Intent.

Just awaiting a command!

"Go, kill him."

Yu Wenbo stood with his hands behind his back, the yellow robe fluttering in the wind, gazing down coldly at the Dead Phoenix, with no intention of acting himself.

With his command.

Ya Zi instantly burst forth, like a heavy bolt shot by a giant crossbow, crashing relentlessly into the Dead Phoenix!

At the same time!

The Chaos Dao Domain unfurled, colliding with the Withered Dao Domain!
