The Great Array began to absorb the Spiritual Energy in the Secret Realm and operated automatically, Jiang Yuebai relaxed all over, retrieving the Eight Arrays Plate.
The main array plate and array soldiers originally embedded within had all disappeared, leaving only those unknown star points glowing faintly.
The Extraordinary People and Evil Cultivators around endured the Great Array’s shock and once again launched an attack.
Jiang Yuebai did not intend to entangle and used the Sky-Breaking Flash to return to the volcano ruins.
Retracting his wings, Jiang Yuebai pulled out the last Earth Escape Talisman intending to activate it, suddenly scanned his surroundings, and then took out the Condensing Light Mirror, placing it at the chest position inside the Red Scale Armor as a Heart Protection Mirror.
A flash of Talismanic Light later, Jiang Yuebai delved underground, searching for Zhao Fuyi.
At that ti, on the altar mostly collapsed beneath the ground, the Earth Evil Fire spewed tongues of fla, and the Netherworld Blood Evil ford into a red whirlpool, coiling around the altar, with shrill ghostly screams piercing loudly.
Lin Suwan half-squatted on the ground, clutching Zhao Fuyi’s neck, his face hideous, and his eyes bleeding tears.
"When I... see the daylight again... I shall cherish... this body well!"
A streak of blood light rushed out from Lin Suwan’s brow, fiercely thrusting into Zhao Fuyi’s brow. Phantom shadows of Divine Souls flickered over both, pulling at each other with a ripple of extinction and fluctuation.
The hand on the neck was squeezing tighter and tighter, Zhao Fuyi frowned in pain, unable to resist, and could only allow the possession.
Gazing at Lin Suwan’s bloodshot eyes, Zhao Fuyi’s lips bled, struggling to speak.
"I, Zhao Fuyi... never indulge in... disgraceful acts, but today I must... must follow that girl’s carefree mont!"
Spit!
A mouthful of fresh blood mixed with the Jade Pivot Thunder Pearl fiercely smashed onto Lin Suwan’s face, a carefree smile spread at the corner of Zhao Fuyi’s mouth, watching Lin Suwan’s shocked, wide-eyed look.
"How dare you plot against !!"
Boom!
A magnificent thunder light exploded, the silver brightness subrged Lin Suwan’s enraged visage before Zhao Fuyi’s eyes.
The lightless underground turned dazzling bright, Lin Suwan’s fragile body instantly vanished into ash, the dominant lightning like thousands of troops wielding swords, rcilessly crushing the surrounding Netherworld Blood Evil.
Crack!
The altar collapsed completely, boulders fell from overhead, Zhao Fuyi’s Nascent Soul body was engulfed by the lightning, falling towards the underground fire sea.
To hide this Jade Pivot Thunder Pearl, Zhao Fuyi had swallowed it, concealing the breath with his Nascent Soul’s blood.
Fortunately, Lii Jiuchuan worried about accidentally harming Jiang Yuebai, thus the Jade Pivot Thunder was condensed extrely solid, needless of Spiritual Energy activation, only requiring Divine Sense to guide.
Without this pearl, Zhao Fuyi facing possession, would have powerlessly awaited inevitable defeat!
"Lii Jiuchuan, the debt I owe you and your disciple remains unsettled..."
Tongues of fla rolled forth, Evil Qi surged into the body, Zhao Fuyi closed her eyes peacefully, letting fate decide her damaged body’s end.
Snap!
The wrist tightened, the downward montum of the body paused.
"You’re too heavy, when we go back, you should eat less!"
Jiang Yuebai gritted his teeth, his disdainful voice coming from overhead.
Zhao Fuyi looked up, seeing Jiang Yuebai suspended in the air tightly gripping her hand, the other hand clutching a long whip of water, coiled around a protruding boulder on the mountain wall.
The girl entwined with arcs of lightning, her small face knit together tightly, eyebrows furrowing as she used all her strength to pull Zhao Fuyi slowly out from the fire sea.
A feeling of redemption, from body to soul, brought tears flooding to Zhao Fuyi’s eyes.
Jiang Yuebai exerted force to pull Zhao Fuyi onto the protruding boulder on the mountain wall, the two collapsed on the ground after surviving the catastrophe.
"Is the array ford?" Zhao Fuyi asked tremblingly.
Jiang Yuebai laughed proudly, "Whenever I, Jiang Yuebai, act, when have I ever ssed things up? And you, did you smash that old monster?"
"Hmm."
"Here, returning your possession, quickly consu this Nine Flower Jade Dew Pill, and once I seize a strand of Earth Evil Fire, we’ll instantly..."
"Watch out!"
A mutation arose suddenly, a giant blood shadow claw burst forth from the Earth Evil Fire Sea, so fast, there was no ti to react.
Jiang Yuebai was instantly seized and dragged into the fire sea, leaving only an elixir rolling to the feet of Zhao Fuyi.

Inside Qing Nangzi’s tent.
A sudden thunderclap shattered the night’s silence, the fierce wind howled. Lii Jiuchuan turned to look outside, only to see lightning dancing across the sky and the earth trembling—this was a sign that the Law of the Land of Azure Fla was aligning with the outside world.
Just then, a strange whistle sounded. Lii Jiuchuan’s gaze sharpened, and a roll of white jade bamboo scroll unfurled behind him in a flash.
The purple pill had not fully exploded before it was swept into the bamboo scroll.
Lii Jiuchuan turned unhurriedly, holding the white jade bamboo scroll, and five-colored halos emanated from him, sealing the entire tent impenetrably.
"Brother Qing Nangzi, aren’t you being too hasty?"
Qing Nangzi’s expression tensed, seeing Lii Jiuchuan’s slightly pale face regain its redness. He glared and said, "So you suspected all along?"
Lii Jiuchuan blocked the doorway, "Not early, but fortunately not late either."
Qing Nangzi’s montum sagged, "After all, I am your savior and a renowned dical saint. How could you suspect so decisively?"
Lii Jiuchuan frowned slightly, "Precisely because you saved , I overlooked so many problematic points. Initially, I excluded you from the list of suspects, but in reality, when I knew Shen Huaxi had issues, I should have thought of you being the one manipulating from behind first."
"Even back then, when everyone withdrew from the Netherworld Sea during the peak of the Ghost Tide, you appeared alone on Wentian Island. You should have been suspected! If I’m not wrong, you’re the one who slipped through the net of the Ghost Clan that year."
The Ghost Clan, at the end of the day, were also humans. However, they believed mortal bodies were obstacles to immortality, so they integrated Demon Clan cultivation techniques, refined souls, bones, and corpses, turning themselves into undying ghost beings, claiming to be the Ghost Clan.
Qing Nangzi did not respond, a trace of coldness rising in his eyes.
Lii Jiuchuan continued, "When True Monarch Xiaori of Sun Erosion Sect suddenly fell into demon, I imdiately realized it was your handiwork to temporarily shut down the transmission array. These months, you must have ordered the Ghost Clan remnants to lie low, making the Land of Azure Fla seem safe, luring everyone into your trap."
"At this mont, in the sealed Land of Azure Fla, the most valuable to the Ghost Clan is Zhao Fuyi. The dicine that suppresses her cultivation was given by you, you intend to seal her dantian cultivation and offer her to the Ghost Clan Old Ancestor sealed in the Land of Azure Fla for possession. Only this way can you avoid detection from various sects, allowing the Ghost Clan Old Ancestor to safely leave the Secret Realm, regain the light of day, and restore the Ghost Clan."
Qing Nangzi sneered, "Ten thousand years ago during the Heavenly Calamity, your ancestor Lu Xingyun of Heavenly Interence Sect was just a Nascent Soul Cultivator with a little fa, while my Ghost Clan’s Blood Smoke Ancestor dominated the skies as one of the nine War Generals. Zhao Fuyi being taken over by Blood Smoke Ancestor is her fortune!"
"At this mont, perhaps Blood Smoke Ancestor has succeeded and is slaughtering within the Secret Realm. You can guess who will erge when the Secret Realm entrance fully opens. By then, many cultivators here will have beco Blood Smoke Ancestor’s soul slaves, including you!"
As he finished speaking, a black sword aura silently slashed down from behind Lii Jiuchuan. His expression changed slightly as he hurriedly dodged, taking the opportunity for Qing Nangzi to transform into a black smoke and escape the tent.
Lii Jiuchuan raised his hand into a fist, and the five-colored light tightened suddenly.
Qing Nangzi’s right hand moved slightly, strands of black smoke forming nine powerful sword auras, combined into one, fiercely slashing down on the looming five-colored light.
Lii Jiuchuan’s montum soared, the five-colored light shattering the sword aura, binding Qing Nangzi tightly under his fearful gaze, squeezing hard.
Boom!
Qing Nangzi’s body suddenly exploded, black smoke perated everywhere, leaving behind a shredded straw doll. The rolling black smoke rushed out of the five-colored barrier, speeding away like a lightning stream outside the tent.
"Hahaha, Lii Jiuchuan, your tactics are still too...!!"
Qing Nangzi’s laughter abruptly stopped as the black smoke crashed into a strange barrier mid-air. Everything around changed with the impact, the densely packed tents turning into clusters of flas assaulting.
The black smoke continuously crashed around, encountering barriers everywhere.
"No!!!"
Ultimately, Qing Nangzi was engulfed by the flas, letting out a mournful shriek.
Lii Jiuchuan raised his hand to retrieve the five-colored light. Outside the tent, the world changed, and an ancient three-legged cauldron was overturned at Qing Nangzi’s tent entrance. True Monarch Cang Huo, full of blubber, sat on it, his red hair like fla, laughing loudly as he slapped the cauldron.
"You got yourself into my Heaven and Earth Refining Immortal Cauldron, bear it well, old Qing Nangzi!"
Lii Jiuchuan with a solemn expression walked out of the tent, having arranged with True Monarch Cang Huo before coming, to set a trap outside the tent.
If Qing Nangzi hadn’t fled, staying inside would have ant only capture and a chance to live.
But escaping into True Monarch Cang Huo’s cauldron ant enduring the tornt of fierce flas, soul dispersing forever.
True Monarch Cang Huo glanced at Lii Jiuchuan and said loudly, "No need to worry, Junior Brother Jiuchuan, entering my cauldron ans not even a trace of ash will remain of him."
"Qing Nangzi was a dical Cultivator, coupled with Ghost Dao techniques, I’m just worried... Senior Brother Cang Huo, please go detain Shen Huaxi, I will go to the Secret Realm to save people first."
"Alright!"
Lii Jiuchuan and True Monarch Cang Huo split up and acted separately.
