Faced with Saraf's apology, Pei Yan generously waved his hand, granting forgiveness, and then looked at him, urging, "Hurry up and tell me what you're planning to do! Once I've dealt with you, I need to reunite with my companions."

"If possible, I hope you could help me leave this place and reunite with my companions. I won't let your life-saving grace go unrewarded; once I'm out, the Dragon Race will repay you generously." Saraf, who was seeking assistance, lowered his once proud head, his tone becoming a bit more humble.

"Alright, no problem! But first, let me assess the situation." Pei Yan said, lifting his head to look at the two shimmering screens appearing in the sky once again, one leading to the outside world and the other to Lin Daozi's combat space. Just as Pei Yan hesitated about whether to rescue Lin Daozi, he suddenly found the surroundings changing, a huge repelling force surging at him from all directions. Alarmed, Pei Yan hurriedly helped Saraf, who was lying on the ground, intent on escaping, but it was too late; the force pushed them into the space passage.

The familiar scene of the space passage flashed before his eyes, and when Pei Yan regained consciousness, he realized he had been thrown out of the mysterious space, standing beside a heavily injured Saraf and a bewildered and disheveled Lin Daozi.

Lin Daozi's condition was much better than Saraf's; though his clothes were torn and he had some wounds, his physical and mental state looked quite good. Feeling Pei Yan's gaze, Lin Daozi, with a longsword on his back, saluted him with one hand, smiling broadly, "It seems it's Fellow Daoist Pei who broke the stalemate, forcing the Bloodshade's scoundrels to flee from battle. However, this..."

At this point, Lin Daozi pointed at Saraf resting on Pei Yan's shoulder, his expression puzzled. Seeing this, Pei Yan smiled slightly and said, "Oh, this? After defeating God's Desire's people, the space passage opened up. I happened to see him successfully repel his opponent but was seriously injured, so I took him along out of our alliance's bonds."

Hearing these words, Saraf lowered his head in silence, grateful for Pei Yan covering up his defeat. Lin Daozi repeatedly praised, "Fellow Daoist Pei acted righteously, considering the big picture, truly noble! Lin admires! Alas, embarrassingly, Fellow Daoist Pei shows formidable strength, successfully taking down his opponent, while I can only boast without capturing my foe."

"Lin Daozi is overmodest. In the end, God's Desire underestimated me; my opponent was just a minor figure, while you faced the ace in their team, giving me a chance to gain some advantage." Pei Yan spoke, looking around with some concern, "Such a pity, despite the effort, two of them got away. Earlier, during the confrontation, I sensed that what sucked us in was likely a high-level Spatial Magical Artifact or even a Divine Artifact. But as a Divine Artifact, its ability was only spatial storage, feeling quite inadequate."

After hearing Pei Yan's confusion, a flash of indignation and contempt crossed Lin Daozi's face before he coldly laughed, "Fellow Daoist Pei is correct; those despicable Bloodshade scoundrels indeed used a space-type Divine Artifact, but it's only the lowest grade Divine Artifact, with all features stacked on concealment and protection. Only such a non-threatening artifact could evade the monitoring array's search and enter the competition space. Alas, we were careless, letting them exploit the loopholes in the event's rules!"

"So what should we do? They hide inside while we fight to the death outside; if he comes out last to collect the spoils, won't we suffer a big loss?" Pei Yan frowned, aggravated by what he heard.

"Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Pei; everything that happens here will be known outside. My Immortal Palace elders won't stand idly by. If nothing unexpected happens, the investigation and targeting of the Divine Artifact has already begun. I think it won't be long before the Divine Artifact used by Bloodshade is locked down, the location transmitted to us, and then they'll have nowhere to hide, no escape!"

Lin Daozi's reply gave Pei Yan some relief. He nodded, prepared to casually respond and then reunite with his companions when a series of explosions interrupted him. Seeing a plume of smoke rising in the distance, Pei Yan and Lin Daozi exchanged worried glances and, without further words, hoisted Saraf, quickly heading to the scene together.

At their speed, Pei Yan arrived swiftly at the scene, and after seeing the situation there, his face sank, fury filling his chest. An angry roar echoed through the field via the amplifier.

"Bastards, you've gone too far! I fought hard against Bloodshade, and you stabbed my companions in the back. Today, anyone who hurt my companions, I'll ensure they find no resting place even in death!"

The sudden appearance of the three and Pei Yan's furious roar halted the chaotic battle in its tracks. Everyone stared in terror at Pei Yan, who radiated a chilling murderous aura, and when Pei Jin broke through the encirclement, covered in blood, she cried out joyfully, "Brother!"

"Sis! Who hurt you? And Old Ye, who injured your arm?" Pei Yan's beast-like gaze swept over the crowd, causing the attackers from earlier to retreat in fear, unwilling to approach. After driving them back, Pei Yan landed on the ground, looking at his blood-covered sister and Ye Ruozai's arm with a long knife scar, furious.

"It was people from the Magic Realm and Spirit Monster World teaming up! Shortly after you were pulled into parallel space by Bloodshade, these two teams couldn't wait to start besieging us. Pei Yan, calm down; I'm okay." Pei Jin, seeing her brother's breathing heavy with anger, wiped some blood from her face and continued, "The blood on me is all from the enemies. It's Old Ye who faced the enemy's siege and got his hand badly hurt. Also, people from the Demon Race fulfilled their pre-match promise, desperately protecting us but losing three team members and leaving one heavily injured. I'm not sure if he'll survive after leaving. Luckily, Xia Yu and her team returned in time; otherwise, another person from the Demon Race would have been eliminated."

Hearing his sister's account, Pei Yan roughly understood the events. As he rapidly cooled his heated mind, he first went to Ye Ruozai to check his injury, concerned, "Old Ye, how's the injury? Is it serious?"

"It's nothing. The opponents were strong; surrounded by many, I was first secretly attacked by someone from the Spirit Monster Realm, injuring my arm, then deliberately targeted by people from the Magic Realm, worsening the wound. The frustrating part is that both attackers had poisoned weapons, and the combination of the two toxins is preventing me from healing." Ye Ruozai managed to force a smile onto his pale face, glancing at his wounded arm with a bitter smile.
