Is this person a member of the Bizarre Alliance?! Not good! The information has been leaked!

They quickly turned their attention to the area where the Bizarre Alliance and Blood Demon Sect Cultivators were located. The Bizarre Alliance Cultivator, having obtained unknown information from the fireworks, didn't stay put and quickly escaped into the distance.

"Damn it! He's a Bizarre Alliance Cultivator! We can't let him escape!"

"Kill him!"

The surprise attack plan had been proceeding smoothly; they were supposed to catch the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators off guard and wipe them out with minimal losses. However, the plan was ruined by this person before it could even begin. Many were burning with rage; in their eyes, the insider was far more detestable than the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators. They maneuvered their Flying Artifacts, ready to give chase.

"Leave this matter to me!" Jia Ren declared, riding the wind on his sword as he chased after the man with the red birthmark at an astonishing speed. He left everyone else far behind with his unrivaled pace. A Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator was in action; there was no escape for this man.

"We appreciate Daoist Shi's assistance." The others stopped their pursuit and swarmed towards the other escaping Bizarre Alliance Cultivators. With the surprise attack failed, they could only resort to a frontal assault.

Jia Ren quickly left the main group behind, joy blooming in his heart. A chance to flee has presented itself! This kind of opportunity naturally can't be missed. This man must be killed. The man with the red birthmark is a Cultivator from the Bizarre Alliance, hiding at the exchange meeting with unclear intentions. What's most disgusting is that he tried to deceive me with information about the Red Spirit Firebird, harboring malice; his scheming heart deserves death. I also gave that man a one-time transmission artifact. Although I tampered with it, making the chance of tracing it back to me very slim, it's still a potential risk. Killing this man will eliminate a major threat; this is the righteous path.

Seeing Jia Ren approaching, the red-birthmarked man's face changed drastically. He used a secret technique to boost his Escape Light's speed by fifty percent, fleeing with all his might.

He indeed harbored malice. The high-quality Solidifying Yuan Pills and, later, the River Mountain Bag are both treasures. A Cultivator with such skills is a talent, and the Bizarre Alliance just happens to need such talent—hence the trap. What of Foundation Establishment Late Stage? If a Golden Core Cultivator takes action, he'll be easily captured. By then, joining the Bizarre Alliance wouldn't be his choice to make. Unexpectedly, a complication arose: the gathered Foundation Establishment Cultivators united to strike against the Bizarre Alliance. I couldn't ignore this matter and had to risk sending out a warning before fleeing.

"Damn it, I can't escape!" Despite the red-birthmarked man's utmost effort, he couldn't widen the gap. The disparity in strength and speed was too great, and Jia Ren was rapidly closing in.

Jia Ren continued his pursuit. After a moment of hesitation, he still sent a voice transmission to Luo Yuzhu: "It's not safe to stay here for long; Bizarre Alliance Golden Core Cultivators might appear. It would be wise for you, Daoist Luo, to leave soon." After sending the warning, he paid no mind to her reaction. His reason for warning Luo Yuzhu was also to obtain the Three Revolutions Rebirth Pill Recipe and establish a good relationship for future Alchemy Recipes. I've given my warning and done my best. If she still foolishly dies here, she can't blame anyone else. Do one's utmost, leave the rest to fate.

Jia Ren continued his rapid chase. In just a short time, the distance had narrowed to less than a thousand feet.

"Daoist Shi, I just didn't want to be forcibly conscripted and bring trouble upon myself! I'm not a member of the Bizarre Alliance," the man hurriedly explained, seeing disaster impending.

That excuse might fool an idiot, at best. If he wanted to flee, there were plenty of chances along the way; why wait until now? After seeing the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators, he deliberately made such a big commotion to escape, clearly aiming to warn them. Jia Ren remained silent as strong Spiritual Power Fluctuations gathered around him.

The man with the red birthmark understood he couldn't fool Jia Ren and decisively threw out a Black Pearl. The Black Pearl exploded, turning into a dense black fog that obstructed vision and interfered with Spells.

"Great Handprint of Capturing!" Spiritual Power converged, materializing a Spiritual Power palm roughly ten feet in size, which suddenly seized the man.

I have an even better Drowning Water Prison Technique, with a higher Proficiency Level, and its restraining effect far surpasses the Great Handprint of Capturing. This Insect External Incarnation must deliberately use different Spells from the main body. Insect External Incarnations should use distinct Spells to prevent perceptive individuals from connecting them to the main body.

As Jia Ren pressed closer, a vicious glint flashed in the red-birthmarked man's eyes. "You're pushing me!"

A figure within the smoke was restrained by the Spiritual Power palm, unable to escape. The Great Handprint of Capturing restricted movement and could also suppress the Spiritual Power within the target's body. When facing a target with a lower Cultivation Level, it was extremely difficult to break free—a divine skill perfect for overwhelming weaker opponents. No matter how he struggled, he couldn't break the bonds in a short time, let alone escape.

A Foundation Establishment Early Stage is no match for a Late Stage; there's no chance of winning. The only chance to turn the tables is... He resolutely pulled out a reddish-black Elixir, his eyes ferocious. Countless small, fleshy tendrils on the Elixir writhed continuously, changing shapes as if it were a living creature.

Jia Ren was not unfamiliar with this object; Shen Lingshi had once consumed a Mysterious Pill and transformed into a flesh monster.

"And you still say you're not from the Bizarre Alliance?" Jia Ren scoffed.

"I may die, but you won't have it easy either!" the man snarled. Exerting all his strength, he was about to swallow the Mysterious Pill.

So what if he undergoes a partial Bizarre transformation? I can handle it with ease. However, this would inevitably expose my Banishing Evil Talisman and the Extraordinary Saint Level Evil Warding Talisman. Better to finish this quickly to avoid complications.

"Die!"

Just as the man with the red birthmark brought the Elixir to his lips, a sound like thunder exploded beside his ear. The sound approached with extreme speed. Before the Elixir could enter his mouth, his Magic Artifact and Spirit Shield let out successive wails of distress. The arm grasping the Elixir was flung away, along with his head. He perished on the spot before he could swallow the Mysterious Pill.

Tiny golden flecks of light flew into Jia Ren's sleeve. His right palm, wrapped in a layer of Spiritual Power, swiftly collected the Mysterious Pill into a vacant Jade Vase, upon which he laid layers of restrictions. The Spiritual Power palm disintegrated, turning into pure Spiritual Energy that dispersed into the surroundings. He retrieved the enemy's River Mountain Bag, and a ball of fire incinerated the corpse, quickly turning it to ash.

After finishing everything, he summoned his golden sword light and sped away. From his attack to killing the Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator, everything happened in the blink of an eye.

Many cast their gazes in Jia Ren's direction, hoping to glean insights into his Divine Skills. The instant killing of a Foundation Establishment Early Stage Cultivator revealed astonishing combat prowess, truly fitting for a Foundation Establishment Late Stage expert. With such a strong presence among them, the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators seemed less of a threat.

"Daoist Shi possesses amazing Divine Skills! Slaying Bizarre Alliance Cultivators is nothing to him!"

Some Cultivators who had harbored ill intentions towards Jia Ren were now thoroughly shocked. Luckily, they hadn't provoked this person. They eagerly awaited Jia Ren's return to boost their morale.

Ji Xianzi's eyes shone with a strange light; she didn't mind being upstaged. This is exactly the talent the Town Demon Alliance needs! She was already thinking about how to recruit him.

The situation unfolded in a way completely opposite to their expectations. Shi Bai, as if not hearing their remarks, rapidly fled at an astounding speed until his figure was barely visible.

The onlookers were dumbfounded.

"Daoist Shi, you're running the wrong way..." someone called out.

No one responded. The scene fell into an astonished silence.

How could he just run away? Everyone was puzzled.

Ji Xianzi stood frozen, then surveyed the crowd, only to find that some, influenced by Jia Ren, had also begun to flee. Jia Ren had set a poor example, causing several other Cultivators to escape after him. Luo Yuzhu was among them.

If even Shi Bai, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage Cultivator, fled, what will I do if a Bizarre Alliance Golden Core Cultivator really appears? If I die, Master will lose his support, and it won't be long before he meets the same fate...

They couldn't let more people flee. Ji Xianzi stared in the direction of Jia Ren's escape, her face darkening.

"Immediately capture the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators! They must not be allowed to escape!" she declared, directing everyone's attention towards the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators and igniting the battle. "Bizarre Alliance Cultivators harbor wild ambitions and have even planted spies among us, hoping to eliminate us from the shadows!"

"Strike first to gain the advantage; hesitate, and suffer the consequences! The more of them that die, the less they will dare to retaliate!"

Fortunately, some Cultivators had stayed behind, preventing the plan from being completely ruined. Ji Xianzi quietly noted those who fled. There will be a day to settle scores with them, she vowed internally.

Bizarre Alliance and Blood Demon Sect Cultivators fell one after another, leaving only three Foundation Establishment Cultivators who managed to escape. The pursuers chased relentlessly. They hadn't gone far when they discovered the three fleeing Bizarre Alliance Cultivators standing still, bright smiles on their faces.

"Have you decided how you want to die?" one of them sneered.

"Don't be so arrogant! You're the ones who are going to die!"

"Bizarre Alliance Cultivators—they deserve to be eliminated by all!"

The cultivators from Qingfu Fang Market didn't waste words; they acted decisively to prevent further complications. Magic Artifacts and Spells surged forth like a torrent, their golden light and sword shadows striking as one. The three Bizarre Alliance Cultivators, unafraid, faced them with cold expressions.

Their abnormal behavior put the pursuers on edge. Do they have some trick up their sleeve?

In an instant, a terrifying aura, as if mountains were collapsing and tsunamis were surging, burst forth violently. Countless bolts of Purple Thunder leaped about as if they had entered an ocean of purple lightning. The attacking Magic Artifacts and Spells were blown away by the Purple Thunder, unable to harm the trio in the slightest.

"We respectfully welcome the Patriarch!" the three Foundation Establishment Cultivators shouted, their eyes fervent with excitement.

"A Golden Core Cultivator? A Golden Core Domain?!"

At this moment, they finally understood the Bizarre Alliance Cultivators' true trump card: a Golden Core Cultivator had been hidden here all along. No wonder those three hadn't fled and were so calm. That Shi Bai, who fled so early... did he know about this?

Upon realizing the truth, the faces of those who hadn't fled filled with bitter regret, but it was too late. Worse still, they were all trapped within the Purple Thunder Law Domain. Easy to enter, but difficult to escape.

"Senior, we have no intention of opposing you. Please spare us a way out."

"I beg for your mercy and am willing to join the Bizarre Alliance..."

Faced with the powerful Golden Core Cultivator, they stood no chance at all. Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators swiftly capitulated, seeking a sliver of hope for survival.

"You are not worthy!" The voice was cold, like a bone-chilling wind in the dead of winter.

Vast amounts of purple lightning exploded. The Purple Thunder blazed, threatening to destroy everything. All the Cultivators' faces twisted in terror. Various Talismans and Defense Artifacts flared to life as they vainly tried to withstand the Golden Core Cultivator's strike.

"Cold Moon Palace will not let you get away with this!" Ji Xianzi shouted, immediately activating her Flying Artifact to protect herself as she tried to break out of the Purple Thunder Law Domain.

BOOM!

One by one, the Cultivators' protective Magic Artifacts dimmed, and their charred bodies fell from the sky. Nearly twenty Foundation Establishment Cultivators on the scene, none a match for a single blow, all perished on the spot.

"Cold Moon Palace? A Sect without even a Nascent Soul dares to act so arrogantly in front of the Bizarre Alliance." The Wei-named Golden Core Cultivator's face was cold. He had long been annoyed with Cold Moon Palace and the Thousand Illusion Sect. The West Command Lord ordered us not to cause trouble, he recalled. But since they dared to provoke me to this extent, then let them remember the fear of being dominated by the Bizarre Alliance! Well then, we shall eradicate Qingfu Fang Market and teach them a lesson.
