"Xuanyin Sword Prison!"

Xuan Feng roared, and the longsword in his hand drew a strange arc in the air.

In an instant, countless Sword Qi howled out from the longsword, like a pack of hungry beasts charging towards Xu Wendong.

These Sword Qi crisscrossed and formed a massive Sword Array, trapping Xu Wendong within it.

Inside the Sword Array, Xu Wendong remained calm, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and his hands quickly formed Hand Seals.

In a split second.

The black aura around him surged like turbulent ocean waves, forming a massive black shield that tightly protected him within.

The Sword Qi clashed against the black shield, making "ding ding" sounds, yet it could not breach the shield’s defenses.

"With just this ability, you dare to be arrogant in front of me?"

Xu Wendong sneered, his figure appearing faintly within the black aura, like the Sovereign of darkness.

He suddenly stepped forward, and the black shield instantly expanded, shattering all the surrounding Sword Qi.

At the same time, his figure flickered like a phantom, appearing in front of Xuan Feng in an instant.

"What?"

Xuan Feng was aghast; he never expected Xu Wendong to break through his Sword Array so easily.

He quickly swung the longsword in his hand, trying to fend off Xu Wendong’s attack.

However, Xu Wendong’s speed was too fast, leaving him no time to mount an effective defense.

Xu Wendong’s right fist, enveloped in endless black aura, shot toward Xuan Feng like a whistling cannonball.

Xuan Feng’s face turned pale; he exerted all his strength to hold the longsword horizontally before him, attempting to block this fatal strike.

"Bang!"

With a loud crash, Xuan Feng’s longsword was shattered by Xu Wendong’s punch, splintering into countless fragments that scattered in all directions.

The formidable power directly sent Xuan Feng flying, his body tracing a long arc through the air before crashing heavily against a mountain peak.

The mountain collapsed instantly, rocks flying, and Xuan Feng’s body was deeply embedded in the mountain.

Blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, his eyes filled with shock and fear.

He could not believe that a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment Stage could possess such terrifying strength, easily defeating him, a strong Emergence Stage cultivator.

"This... how is this possible?"

Xuan Feng struggled to climb out of the rubble, his voice trembling with fear and despair.

He looked at Xu Wendong as if he was seeing a Demon from Hell.

Xu Wendong gave Xuan Feng no respite; his figure flashed again, appearing before Xuan Feng instantly.

His eyes glittered with icy killing intent, his right hand clenched into a fist once more, ready to deliver a fatal blow to Xuan Feng.

"No!"

Xuan Feng screamed in terror, his body trembling slightly with fear.

He knew that today, he might not escape disaster...

At this critical moment.

A dazzling light streaked like a lightning bolt across an endless night, roaring in with thunderous momentum from the depths of the Xuanyin Sect.

The brilliance was so dazzling it was nearly blinding, and within it, a figure flickered faintly, its presence strong as though a Celestial God had arrived.

In the blink of an eye, this person appeared in front of Xuan Feng, their right hand gently waved a seemingly casual gesture, yet it unleashed a vast, ocean-like power of Spiritual Power.

This Spiritual Power was like an indestructible, towering wall, steadily blocking Xu Wendong’s blow, which contained endless Power of Destruction.

Xu Wendong felt his fist crashing into a majestic ancient mountain, strong counterforce surging back fiercely.

His brows furrowed tightly, his gaze sharp as an eagle, fixing his eyes on the newcomer.

This person wore an extremely luxurious robe, their presence seasoned with an awe-inspiring atmosphere, exuding majesty in every movement.

"Who are you?" Xu Wendong asked.

The man’s eyes were indifferent: "I am Xuanxiao, Sect Leader of Xuanyin Sect!"

Seeing the Sect Hierarch appear, the previously panicked and fearful disciples of Xuanyin Sect erupted in excitement.

"The Sect Leader! The Sect Leader is here!"

A wave of ecstatic shouts erupted from the crowd, the voices filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.

The disciples who had been trembling in fear now had hope rekindled in their eyes, their previously weak legs gained strength, and they straightened their backs.

"With the Sect Leader’s arrival, this madman will surely be captured!" One disciple excitedly clenched his fist, as if he had already seen the scene of Xu Wendong being subdued.

"Indeed, the Sect Leader is a super powerhouse in the Early Stage of Divinity Transformation. Such a power, looking at the entire Cultivation World, is one of the top masters. Crushing this boy is no difficulty!"

"Our Xuanyin Sect is saved now!" Another disciple exhaled a long breath, and the terror on his face was gradually replaced by relief.

Xuanxiao looked at Xu Wendong with cold eyes, his voice thundering: "On the territory of my Xuanyin Sect, you act recklessly with no regard for the rules, and severely injure two of my highly important elders in succession. What exactly is your purpose?"

"Do you have the courage of a bear, or do you simply not regard my Xuanyin Sect at all?"

Xuanxiao’s gaze was as sharp as lightning, aiming directly at Xu Wendong, his voice rolling like thunder, carrying infinite awe and fury, causing the air around to buzz, even the dust on the ground trembled wildly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Wendong let out a scornful snort, his gaze full of arrogance and fearlessness, meeting Xuanxiao’s eyes without fear: "I came here just to kill Su Xinghe and take Ye Qiu away!"

"That’s all!"

Hearing this, Xuanxiao’s face instantly darkened like a pre-storm sky, a hint of imperceptible astonishment flashing in his eyes.

He turned his head to look at the beleaguered and weak Xuan Feng beside him.

Then he shifted his gaze to the distance at Master Zi Yang, who had lost his breath and lay quietly amid the ruins, his anger immediately blazing like a volcano about to erupt.

But after all, he was the Sect Hierarch, with a calm mind; amid his rage, he faintly felt that there seemed to be another story behind this incident, and he should not act rashly.

"Ye Qiu? Her deal with my Xuanyin Sect was reached voluntarily between both parties. For you to come to my Xuanyin Sect and unleash slaughter, aren’t you looking down on us too much?" Xuanxiao restrained the storm of anger within him, his voice as cold as a millennium-deep pond, coldly questioning.

"Deal?" A sneer outrageously intense, bordering on mockery, flickered momentarily across Xu Wendong’s eyes, as if viewing a profoundly absurd farce.

"Under the name of Dual Cultivation, but actually coercion, is this what your Xuanyin Sect calls a fair transaction?"

"Ye Qiu was urgently searching for herbs to resolve a critical issue for me, thus forced into accepting such an utterly absurd and despicable condition."

"Your Xuanyin Sect’s conduct is downright immoral, contemptible to an extreme!"

Xuanxiao’s face grew extremely ugly; as the revered Sect Leader of Xuanyin Sect, normally bathed in admiration and reverence, when had he ever been so openly criticized and humiliated?

But he also keenly understood the profound and incalculable strength of the man before him; to truly provoke him fully, Xuanyin Sect might genuinely face obliteration.

"Since Ye Qiu has agreed to the deal, she cannot easily backtrack."

Xuanxiao’s tone was icy: "My Xuanyin Sect has stood tall in the Cultivation World for many years, its name renowned and dignity not easily trampled upon."

"Otherwise, how shall we continue to stand in a world where strength reigns supreme?"

Xu Wendong’s eyes flickered with an unsettling, bone-chilling iciness: "So, it seems you prefer punishment to peace?"
