However, Chen Xiao’s leap triggered a violent reaction from the entire Killing Array.

In an instant, several fierce rays shot at him like sword light. Chen Xiao was well-prepared, holding the Fish Intestine Double Swords, and slashed towards the incoming sword lights!

"Boom——"

The aftermath spread, causing the entire ground to tremble.

After breaking through this attack, Chen Xiao’s body took advantage of the force to ascend onto the Bodhi Ancient Tree!

"Kid, how dare you!"

Seeing Chen Xiao reach the Bodhi Ancient Tree first, those formidable ones were thoroughly anxious. Ignoring the dangers of the Killing Array, they pushed forward under pressure.

Some even slashed Sword Qi at Chen Xiao from afar.

Chen Xiao glanced at them, then rushed up the trunk of the Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Ten meters, five meters, three meters... two meters...

He plucked the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart and grasped it in his palm!

Got it!!

"Kid, hand over the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart immediately, and I might spare you!" At this moment, a commanding voice resonated as three powerful figures from the Holy Court arrived beneath the Bodhi Ancient Tree, and the one speaking was the golden-haired elder.

His golden eyes fixed on Chen Xiao with murderous intent.

"Just because you said so? Who do you think you are?"

"Then die!" The golden-haired elder waved his hand, sending a fierce Qi Force toward Chen Xiao!

Facing an assault from a Mortal Martial Saint Level powerhouse, Chen Xiao dared not be careless. He unleashed a punch with all his might, yet the powerful force directly shook him, causing him to spit blood!

At this moment, the two silver-armored Holy Knights behind the golden-haired elder shouted and also rushed up the Bodhi Ancient Tree trunk, spears pointed at Chen Xiao!

The spears thrust like dragons, filled with killing intent.

Chen Xiao’s gaze turned cold. Without holding back, he erupted with steaming Profound Sun True Qi, his palms smacking against the spears!

The two Holy Knights clashed with him, only to be forced back two or three steps.

The golden-haired elder’s gaze grew colder, speaking arrogantly, "Competing with our Holy Court over this, you must be tired of living. In this case, prepare to face punishment!"

He raised his hand, and suddenly a scepter appeared in his grasp; upon seeing this, everyone’s eyes narrowed!

"This is... the Pope’s scepter!"

"So, this elder is actually the Pope of the Western Holy Court, no wonder his power is so terrifying!"

Chen Xiao squinted slightly and quickly said, "Ah, it’s Pope Your Excellency. No more fighting, I’ll give you the Bodhi Heart. After all, power isn’t as important as one’s life."

Saying this, he jumped down, boldly showing up in front of the Holy Court Pope.

"Rather astute compared to those blind ants." The Pope sneered, "Well then, kneel and present the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart to me!"

Chen Xiao waved his hand, "Here you go."

The Pope instinctively caught what he threw.

And everyone’s attention focused on the three from the Holy Court.

"Don’t look at me; now, the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart is in the Pope’s hands. If you want it, go ask His Excellency for it."

Chen Xiao shrugged, speaking to the others, displaying his empty hands to prove his innocence, and walked over to Leng Baiyu.

In fact, the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart had long been placed in the Small Tower within his Sea of Consciousness.

Upon hearing this, the many powerhouses immediately surrounded the three from the Holy Court with ferocious intent.

"Pope Your Excellency, the Western Holy Court already possesses a Sacred Artifact, why compete with us for the Bodhi Heart? Please hand it over!"

"Pope Your Excellency, although you possess the Mortal Martial Saint Level strength, given that there are dozens of Half-Step Grandmasters here, and with this Killing Array binding you, you’re not guaranteed an absolute victory, are you?"

"Moreover, this battle for dominance is among the Half-Step Grandmasters. Isn’t it disgraceful for you as the Pope to enter the fray personally?"

"Whatever our Holy Court wants, we take directly; what concern is that of yours?" The Pope’s expression was indifferent, looking down on the crowd, "Try and snatch it from me if you dare!"

Yet, in the next second, he opened his hand and discovered that all he held was an ordinary Bodhi Seed. He immediately glared angrily at Chen Xiao, "Kid, how dare you trick me!"

The strong cast questioning glances at Chen Xiao.

Unflustered, Chen Xiao proclaimed loudly, "Pope Your Excellency, why would I trick you? I gave you the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart, you’ve got it; own up to it. You cannot kill me to silence me, with so many witnesses seeing you acquire it."

"Moreover, if it were fake, would I dare stand here before everyone?"

Upon these words, the crowd drew closer to the three from the Holy Court.

The Pope grasped the scepter, his face darkening, saying coldly, "This kid did not give me the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart. His move was merely a ploy to shift the blame; you are all deceived!"

"Pope Your Excellency, then please prove it."

The Pope laughed furiously, his ire blazing, "I, the Holy Court’s Pope, am supreme."

"And what are you ants, thinking you merit proof from me?!"

"If you seek battle, then battle it shall be!"

With these words, the crowd grew more certain that the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart was in the Pope’s possession.

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao took advantage of their scattered attention, decisively grabbing Leng Baiyu and fleeing, albeit heading further into the Secret Land.

Only then did the powerhouses realize that the Glazed Glass Bodhi Heart was indeed with Chen Xiao.

"Chase him!"

"That kid dared to trick us; don’t let him escape!"

"Damn scoundrel!"

Chen Xiao dashed wildly with Leng Baiyu.

He had a good grasp of this Killing Array. Although his steps seemed erratic, he chose relatively safe paths.

In contrast, those others were different; slight carelessness would see them erased by the Killing Array.

Thus, they couldn’t possibly catch up to him.

Indeed, soon screams resounded from behind him.

Many pursuing powerhouses were erased by the Killing Array, while others suffered broken limbs, creating a gruesome scene.

Seeing the plight of those people, others dared not recklessly charge forward.

This kid studied the arrays; they hadn’t. Following blindly was ensuring their doom.

Soon, Chen Xiao and his companion left them far behind.

The Pope, thunderous with rage, his hair standing in fury, "Kid, should I catch up to you, I’ll ensure you’re utterly destroyed, leaving no resting place for your bones!!"

"Catch up first," Chen Xiao sneered, already having led Leng Baiyu beyond the Killing Array’s reach, heading deeper into the Secret Land.

Soon, their figures vanished from sight.
