The moment the Holy Light burst, everyone felt a dazzling brightness in front of them.

Nothing was visible.

Even Father Zack, under the divine illusion, felt the light so blinding!

"Damn it! Good thing I know you, kid, are a lech, otherwise I’d really think you were Emperor Azure River!" Nine Nether True Lord hurriedly covered his eyes.

He was closest to Julius Reed and felt it the clearest!

Clearly a mortal, how could this power be so similar to Emperor Azure River’s divine power back in the day?

Boom!

The Holy Light directly shattered the divine illusion behind Father Zack!

"F***!"

Father Zack couldn’t help but curse, hurriedly picked up the cross, and ran frantically.

The spirits of the Banner of Ten Thousand Ghosts had already been destroyed, and the anomaly hovering over Hanxue Ridge was gradually recovering, yet remnants of it still lingered.

Under the Holy Light, Father Zack’s clothes began to burn!

But he disregarded everything and continued to run frantically!

Having lurked for over a thousand years, Father Zack was one of the top experts of the church but had never acted.

Because they knew that acting had no chance of success, equating to suicide.

They were not afraid to die, but could not die without value.

But now, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

The martial arts world of the Nine Provinces was in chaos, with various factions stepping into the spotlight.

Starting with the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance, each faction took their turn for the ultimate power, fighting fiercely.

Today!

Father Zack was greeted with a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

Julius Reed had expended a lot of energy to duel the frenzied Dragon Dance!

Everything, originally, was according to plan.

But who would have thought a blind man would interfere halfway!

With just a finger, he shattered Zack’s divine illusion and broke the martial arts hidden in the church’s supreme scripture Bible!

Burned by the golden light, Father Zack’s clothes, hair, and beard were all gone.

Naked, he ran wildly on the prairie!

The golden light slowly dissipated.

Julius Reed felt his body emptied.

This power, he couldn’t precisely control, only aiming at a general direction.

The duration depended entirely on how much power was hidden in God’s blood.

Sometimes, when the spirit is high and the condition is good, the duration is a bit longer.

But sometimes, when Julius is rather tired, it’ll be shorter.

However, the erupted power was generally substantial.

Soon, the golden light completely dissipated.

The ground was filled with kneeling naked martial artists, their heads pressed firmly against the ground, their bodies trembling.

Some even had some inexplicable yellow liquid beneath them.

Only Nine Nether True Lord and Julius Reed had untouched clothes.

Trent Marsh was better off; at least his clothes remained, but everyone looked wretched.

"Let’s go." Trent Marsh turned around, leading the people into the darkness.

Overhead, the sky of Hanxue Ridge healed again.

Here, it’s a world of its own.

"We’re not chasing?" Nine Nether True Lord pointed to where Trent Marsh disappeared and coughed.

He overexerted his telekinesis and was very exhausted.

Moreover, recovery would take at least three to five days to return to his original state.

"Forget it, there’s no need."

Julius Reed stroked the Dragon King Ring on his finger and smiled faintly, "The people behind Trent Marsh are my Wolf Cavalry. By accepting Mr. Springs, it means he no longer trusts Silvio Reed much. Trent Marsh, I understand him well."

"Your people?" Nine Nether True Lord stroked his chin and chuckled, "Interesting. Between people, don’t even have the basic trust anymore?"

"Where is trust? Everything is for that chair within the Ten Thousand Mountain Alliance." Julius Reed sighed and looked at the martial artists kneeling before him, shaking his head, "Raise your voice, declare you are magnanimous and won’t hold it against them. Tell them to stay honest and decent; next time, execute without mercy."

"Okay."

Nine Nether True Lord nodded, cleared his throat, and shouted loudly, "Get the hell out of here, damn it! Whoever runs slow, I’ll chop his head off!"

"You..."

Julius Reed took a deep breath, internally reminding himself to stay calm.

To stay calm!

But...

Why does he just want to hit someone?

However, Nine Nether True Lord’s bellow worked well, those from the Dragon family and gathered from the world all ran away.

On the vast Hanxue Ridge, only the two of them remained.

"Shall we go too?"

Nine Nether True Lord pointed in the direction of those people’s escape.

Since they weren’t chasing Trent Marsh, the journey to Hanxue Ridge, strictly speaking, had ended.

Staying serves no purpose.

The two have expended a lot of mental energy and needed to go back and recuperate.

"In the maze of Gaochang, although it was dangerous, at least there was real poisonous insects." Julius Reed pointed to Hanxue Ridge, his body slowly turned half circle, "But here? What’s here? Here has nothing, except the unseen."

From the sandstorm to those beasts’ remnants in the reckless grasslands.

Hanxue Ridge seemed to hide a secret.

At least, the field above was a secret.

Nine Nether True Lord pointed towards the sky and tore open the Array shrouding Hanxue Ridge.

Now the Array is restored, and dawn on Hanxue Ridge is bright.

The sun is in the sky.

No different from noon outside.

If it’s an Array, it’s too enormous.

A common martial artist might indeed be unable to break this Array; only Nine Nether True Lord took a different approach, forcibly using his telekinesis to split the sky open.

"But we’re now very weak, not the best timing, right?" Nine Nether True Lord looked around, always feeling an unspeakable horror on Hanxue Ridge.

It looked eerie, not resembling a normal prairie at all.

Although he was not as powerful as Julius Reed, able to use God’s Eye to see the beast’s remnants underground, his understanding of the prairie far exceeds the ordinary.

Traps everywhere.

Carelessness could cost lives.

"I think we could investigate what’s going on here." Julius Reed opened God’s Eye again but quickly closed it.

Repelling Father Zack was very exhausting, and the power in God’s blood was mostly consumed.

Not quite enough to support opening God’s Eye again.

He’s now truly blind.

But fortunately, the sense of awareness around him remains.

Able to foresee danger.

"Wait a moment." Julius Reed took out a pill from his bosom and threw it into his mouth.

The pill quickly absorbed, and a surge of spiritual power began churning.

Julius Reed’s condition improved a bit.

"The wind’s rising." Nine Nether True Lord felt the increasing wind on his face, uneasy foreboding grew.

"The sandstorm is coming again." He shook his head.

Indeed, the best time to leave Hanxue Ridge was when he tore open the sky.

Now, wanting to leave, it’s impossible.

"The sandstorm is coming; we might as well face these people." Julius Reed took a deep breath, and God’s Eye suddenly opened!
