Under the gloomy sky, a surge of vile aura shot into the heavens, unleashing a fierce and violent atmosphere in the sky.

Xuan Guang's face was as dark as water, and the desolate battle marks couldn't disguise the anger and irritation on his face. His eyes burned as he looked around, at the three figures surrounding him.

The plan to frame the Taoist sect had completely failed, and even he, the executor, failed to escape smoothly.

Xuan Guang didn't expect the Demon Sect to suddenly go on a killing spree, directly offending the Buddhist Sect, nor did he expect someone to have been watching the Buddhist Sect's movements early on. Just as he attacked and killed several high monks of Baima Temple, he was discovered, followed by more than ten days of pursuit, ultimately leading to this encirclement.

"This place has been surrounded by a barrier, Xuan Guang, you cannot escape." Xuanzhen's long sleeves lightly brushed, a slender Spirit Core Nine Ruins emerged from his sleeve, its needle-like sword tip firmly locked onto Xuan Guang.

Indeed, there's no escape. Although Xuan Guang mastered the supreme footwork "Contending Sun Chasing" of the Southern Border Witch Sect, allowing him to roam freely using Earth Qi, the barrier established by the Yang Ping's City Governance Seal had restricted this place, making it impossible for even the strongest to easily break free.

Qing Yu had stolen the Yang Ping's City Governance Seal from Dragon Tiger Mountain, and ironically, its first use was not on any strongest individual but to prevent Xuan Guang's escape. It must be said, Xuan Guang earned quite some face, making Xuanzhen willing to use such a valuable treasure.

"Even if it's impossible to escape, I must try. Otherwise, my only path is death."

Xuan Guang's lips curled into a grim smile, "I know how much the Zhenwu Sect hates me, and how much Qing Yu wants to kill me. If I don't escape, it will be a fate worse than death."

"Then you can choose death," Xuanzhen said lightly, "You know you will live worse than death, yet you don't want to die. At this moment, you lack the decisiveness you had when you betrayed our sect."

For someone like Xuan Guang, as long as he lives, he will not abandon the hope of survival. He naturally knows that if caught, he will live worse than death, but in truth, even if caught, he would choose to live.

"Stop stalling for time, the barrier is activated, even if you have assistance, it cannot save you in time. Two senior uncles, let's act."

Xuanzhen gathered his energy, the Spirit Core Nine Ruins subtly emitted pernicious evil aura, silently spread around.

This is precisely the Taisu Nine Needles·Evil Qi Storage.

At the same time, Tong Ming and Tong Hua joined right palm to left, combining their strength to unleash Taixu's move, "two forms diffusion, Qi wanders through Taixu."

The three fully embraced the principle of disregarding worldly morality towards traitors, the three Divine Communication joined in attack, seeking to quickly capture Xuan Guang.

Facing such a fierce assault, Xuan Guang no longer thought about maneuvering for assistance, for he knew, if he dared not fight hard, he would either be killed or captured.

"Heavenly Destiny·Earthly Evil·Four Symbols Unite. Attack!"

Exerting his extreme move, Xuan Guang combined the Heavenly Yan Four Symbols Palm with his self-created Earthly Evil Four Symbols Palm, muttering a low shout, a powerful force surged in the rapidly expanding battle body.

He raised his palm against the attacks on both sides, the form of the Four Symbols surged forth, letting out cries of different tones, the fierce vile aura and True Qi mixed and collided, instantly cracking the earth.

"Boom—"

Amidst the swirling dust, Xuan Guang's upper garments shattered, revealing a body covered in ancient battle marks, also exposing the wounds scattered all over.

Facing three people's attacks alone, even as he began to burn his essence blood, he was immediately severely injured.

'Can't fight directly, only escape.'

Determined to persist, Xuan Guang intended to use "Contending Sun Chasing" again to maneuver with the three. Even if the chance of timely assistance was slim, he had to strive to hold on until the end.

With Evil Qi arising, trying to resonate with Earth Qi, yet to his shock, the established resonance quickly faded, his footwork powerless to continue.

"This is······"

He felt something amiss beneath his feet, lowered his head and saw a layer of crystalline substance inexplicably covering the ground, now spreading to his feet.

It was this crystalline layer that prevented the resonance with Earth Qi needed for "Contending Sun Chasing" to be executed.

Before he could ponder further, a moon-white figure cut through the dust, the slender sword tip touched his back, the needle's force penetrated through the battle body, seeping into his meridians.

Taisu Nine Needles·Yin Yang Fajing.

Yin Yang reversed meridian flow combined with the previously exerted Evil Qi Concealed in Organs, Xuan Guang's entire body ached with severe pain, his figure stumbling and faltering.

Simultaneously, the Zhenwu Two Elders combined Yin and Yang Qi, forming the endlessly rotating Tai Chi Diagram, encompassing Xuan Guang within, Yin Yang Qi dashed against the vile aura, dissipating resistance force.

The three Divine Communication put aside their face, cooperatively acted, and finally, within a short time, captured this traitor. This pursuit was thus concluded.

"Finally captured, for capturing this traitor, I gave up this old face, had it not succeeded, I'd have no face to meet anyone," Tong Ming couldn't help but commend, seeing the matter settled.

Killing is easy, capturing is hard. To ensure the capture of Xuan Guang, the three had already rehearsed dozens of times, just for today's successful take-down.

"And it is still not enough, we need to perform another measure to prevent him from committing suicide."

While speaking, Xuanzhen directed the Spirit Core Nine Ruins directly into Xuan Guang's elixir field, Taisu Energy from within the sword seeped in, solidifying all his True Qi and vile aura, even his Qi and blood were sealed and frozen, externally covered with a layer of crystal.

Divinity Realm's Three Elements Combined meant True Qi was not just confined to the elixir field, wanting to cripple his power was harder than killing him. But to simply seal him, Xuanzhen had the most suitable means.

Internally wrapped with Taisu crystal, externally trapped by the Yin Yang Tai Chi Diagram, Xuan Guang was thoroughly captured, with no chance for reversal.

"You will be taken back to the sect to face the Sect Leader's judgment. Xuan Guang, cherish your final moments." Xuanzhen said calmly, locking eyes with that pair of unblinking pupils.

These final moments were Xuan Guang's last whisper of peace, what awaits in the future is destined to be hell.

From afar, seeing Xuan Guang's treatment, outside the barrier, a figure holding a bow silently retreated.

The assistance from the Southern Border did not fail to arrive but upon arrival, was unable to intervene.

Not to mention this difficult-to-break barrier, the three inside who reached the Divine Communication, were not someone this archer from the Southern Border could deal with.

Thus, to avoid unnecessary sacrifice, retreat was the only option.

··························

"They captured Xuan Guang."

In the Zhenwu Sect, after recounting the events, Xuan Shang took out the Array Plate, and seeing the information displayed on it, he said excitedly.

"Sect Leader, they captured Xuan Guang." He looked at Qing Yu, his eyes full of excitement and agitation.

The others within the Taiji Palace, upon hearing these words, also showed delighted smiles.

To the Zhenwu Sect, Xuan Guang was an inextinguishable disgrace and unforgivable sin. To capture Xuan Guang today, cleansing this disgrace, how could this not excite everyone?

"It seems Uncle and Great Uncle prepared quite the surprise for my return," Qing Yu smiled.

Xuan Guang played quite a significant role in Qing Yu's life. Were it not for him, Xuanfa might not have failed, Qing Yu wouldn't have been exiled, and his life might have been very different.
