When masters exchange blows, the outcome of victory and death can be decided in an instant. Especially when cultivators at the Immortal Emperor level clash, every moment counts. The battle so far has only taken three minutes, and now, the opponents are down to just two.

These two disciples saw that although Wang Xiaoqiang was just at the Immortal Emperor Fourth Qi Realm, his comprehensive strength was defying the heavens, and they simply couldn't match him. Especially the light ball he summoned could instantly kill them across levels. In surprise and fear, they no longer dared to resist and immediately turned to flee.

But they hadn't gotten far when the sound of whooshing filled the air, and dozens, if not hundreds, of white threads wrapped around them tightly. It was the "Crazed Love Silk" released by Fairy Zixia, entangling the two of them.

The faces of the pair showed immense fear as they struggled desperately, appearing as pitiful as two flies in a spider's web.

Just as they were about to use a magic treasure to break free from the Crazed Love Silk, Wang Xiaoqiang opened and closed his right hand, and the Light of Joy that had exploded into countless light points swiftly gathered and condensed back into a light ball.

The Light of Joy, restored to its ball form, under Wang Xiaoqiang's control, rushed toward the two disciples entangled in the Crazed Love Silk. Just as they broke free with the help of their magic treasures and were about to flee, the Light of Joy slammed into them, exploding with a loud bang behind them,

Boom...

Boom! Boom!...

Their bodies were blasted into pieces in an instant, unable to even scream.

So powerful!!

Ding Chunqiu and Fairy Zixia stared dumbfounded at the Light of Joy, shattered into starlike fragments, frozen in place.

Wang Xiaoqiang opened and closed his right hand, and the starlike fragments swiftly condensed into a light ball again, spinning like an aurora, its glow blinding.

Ding Chunqiu and Fairy Zixia hurriedly closed their eyes, shielding them with their sleeves, yet still feeling a stinging pain.

With a thought, Wang Xiaoqiang drew the Light of Joy back into his body.

"Don't dawdle, let's go quickly!" Wang Xiaoqiang shouted urgently, grabbing Fairy Zixia by the waist and taking off immediately.

Ding Chunqiu followed suit.

Three minutes after the trio left, nine groups of powerful disciples from the Tri-Element Sect arrived one after another, only to find the place abandoned, feeling a sense of regret. Seeing the remnants of bodies on the ground filled them with dread,

Five disciples, all above the Immortal Emperor Five Qi Realm: one had his head split open, one was killed by an Immortal Sword, and the remaining three were turned into minced meat, with blood all over the ground, a ghastly sight.

"Such powerful methods, so vicious..." The powerful disciples of the Tri-Element Sect lamented.

"By right, they shouldn't possess such formidable means..."

"Could they have help from a high-level expert?" Beardless Daoist was also filled with suspicion, only able to make such a guess because he couldn't believe Wang Xiaoqiang and his group had such immense strength.

"Daoist Master, what should we do? Should we pursue them??" one of the disciples asked, his voice clearly trembling.

"Of course we should pursue," Beardless Daoist declared firmly. If they couldn't capture Fairy Zixia, his daughter Xiuchan would have to marry the King of Eastern Mountain, so he was willing to pay any price necessary.

"Listen up everyone, still form groups of five, pursue in all directions, and if there's any news, notify with a signal talisman..." Beardless Daoist instructed.

"Daoist Master, the opponent is strong, five people might not be enough," an older disciple said weakly. "We may not even have the chance to send out a signal talisman in time..."

Seeing the group of disciples were somewhat fainthearted, Beardless Daoist said, "Hmm, then form groups of ten and pursue in four directions..."

The powerful disciples hesitated briefly; deep down they were reluctant to participate in this. It was dangerous, and there were no rewards, not even comparable to the trial missions assigned by the sect.

"Capture Fairy Zixia and you'll receive a reward of a hundred Qi Gathering Pills..." Beardless Daoist feared their hesitation and immediately announced a bounty.

The Qi Gathering Pill, a common pill for the Immortal Emperor Realm to condense Immortal Qi, was extremely precious,

Every Tri-Element Sect disciple was allocated only a hundred or so pills annually. Now, Beardless Daoist offered a hundred with a single promise, a highly persuasive offer.

As the saying goes, 'under heavy reward, one will find brave men,' the disciples instantly perked up, forming groups of ten, setting off in four directions: east, south, west, and north.

...

Wang Xiaoqiang, Fairy Zixia, and Ding Chunqiu were fleeing forward at top speed.

"Little Qiang, let's escape towards the Wind Rain Pavilion," Fairy Zixia suggested.

"Wind Rain Pavilion, what's that?" Wang Xiaoqiang asked.

"It's an assassin organization," Fairy Zixia explained. "This organization is recognized in the Biluo Realm, with immense power. Even a force like the Eastern Mountain Tribe cannot contend with it. We can only seek shelter there now..."

"You mean, we become assassins there?..." Wang Xiaoqiang asked in surprise.

"Precisely. The Beardless Daoist will pursue us at any time, and the King of the Eastern Mountain won't spare us either. Little Qiang, you may withstand Beardless Daoist, but you're definitely not a match for the King of Eastern Mountain. So we must turn to the Wind Rain Pavilion now..."

"I don't have the Immortal Vein aptitude, your cultivation base is so weak, and Ding Chunqiu exceeds the age limit; will Wind Rain Pavilion even accept us..." Wang Xiaoqiang hesitated.

"Wind Rain Pavilion is not like a great sect or tribe. It's just an assassin organization, and its ultimate goal is to complete missions for profit, not to nurture disciples. Therefore, they don't care about your aptitude; they just use assassins for profit as long as one is in the Immortal Emperor Realm..." said Fairy Zixia, adding, "Of course, the Wind Rain Pavilion protects its assassins, so once we join, not even the King of Eastern Mountain can touch us, let alone the Tri-Element Sect..."

"Alright, then let's go to the Wind Rain Pavilion," Wang Xiaoqiang decided decisively. And so, the three flew toward the Wind Rain Pavilion.

...

That evening...

The three arrived in front of the Wind Rain Pavilion.

The Wind Rain Pavilion was a towering and imposing structure, with its number of stories unknown, resembling a small mountain from a distance,

It appeared very old, weathered by who knows how many ages,

The pavilion had a dark purple hue, looking somewhat eerie, and on the plaque above the entrance, four blood-red characters—"Bloody Winds and Rain"—hung prominently.

A thick, bloody stench emanated from the four characters, drifting far away.

"This is the Wind Rain Pavilion," Fairy Zixia pointed to the four characters "Bloody Winds and Rain" on the plaque, saying, "Look at those four characters, they're written in human blood. Wind Rain Pavilion collects the blood of each person it kills, using it instead of ink to add color to these characters..."

"Sounds quite brutal." Wang Xiaoqiang's lips curled into an amused smile.

Just then,

Whoosh...

A whooshing sound was heard as a figure blocked their path. This person, with a hairless and beardless face, was none other than the Beardless Daoist.

Following this, ten more figures appeared, surrounding the trio. They were a group of powerful disciples from the Tri-Element Sect.

"Want to join the Wind Rain Pavilion? You can, but you have to get past me first." The Beardless Daoist stroked his bare chin, gazing at the three with a sinister smile.

Fairy Zixia's fair face turned pale. Although they were just a hundred paces from the Wind Rain Pavilion now, it would not offer protection until they joined it. So this hundred paces seemed like a chasm; crossing it would lead to survival, failing to cross it would result in death here. (To be continued.
