Dong! Dong! Dong!

The sound of iron hooves came from the depths of the wind and snow, and dim symbols of light swept across the sky and earth like iron chains linking and stretching taut.

Xie Xuanyi's premonition did not miss.

The energy in the Northern County was already thin, and now under the Great Array's influence, the entire Primordial Qi of Little Desolate Mountain was sealed and drained... This is the "Dragon-locking Formation" of the Great Chu Royal Family, something that most cultivators around the world require to battle with, even the Northern Martial Artists who specialize in body cultivation need at least a breath of Primordial Qi to maintain their Martial Arts Golden Body.

It can be said that the Dragon-locking Formation is among the greatest weapons against Primordial Qi Cultivators in numerous Great Arrays!

However.

For a Mountain Peak Yang God, most formations in the world become meaningless.

Not long ago, in that battle by the North Sea, Chen Jingxuan, who was proficient in the Hundred Schools Array, did not lay down the "Dragon-locking Formation," because the Little State Preceptor knew better than anyone that a Daoist Great True Man of the Yang God Realm, whose body contained a grotto heaven that forms its own world, would not be substantially affected even if the Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi were sealed.

At this moment, the same applies.

Xie Xuanyi looked calm, watching the orderly iron cavalry slowly emerge from within the wind and snow fog.

Countless.

A glance could not reach its end.

Leading them was King Yanle, whom he had met once five years ago.

Meeting again, it would be a clash of arms.

At this moment, King Yanle was clad in armor, his previously gentle and handsome face shrouded in icy cold light, leaving only decisive killing intent.

Unsheathing his saber, a glint of cold light appeared, making his whole being even more intimidating with killing intent.

Five years unseen.

King Yanle had unexpectedly also completed the "promotion"!

This point somewhat differed from Xie Xuanyi's estimations... He initially thought that the Paperman Technique couldn't manipulate Yang God Realm pieces. However, under the Paperman Technique's influence, the "cause and effect" of this Divine Travel World had undergone drastic changes, and the "paperman" at the peak of the Yin God Realm had completed its promotion over a long period, which made sense.

Heaven and earth have their limits here, and as long as the tide of fortune does not change, Yang God remains the hardest to promote at all times!

King Yanle could be said to be the most talented "piece" in this Divine Travel World.

Also the only "exception" in promotion.

"Everyone, heed my command!"

King Yanle spoke expressionlessly, standing below the mountain, gazing at the people on the mountain. With a low shout, he unsheathed his long blade.

Rumble!

Countless winds and snow were seen sweeping towards the blade's edge...

Obviously, this overwhelming frost and mist were all related to the "Great Dao" he cultivated.

With King Yanle's command, the sound of unsheathing echoed continuously.

Thousands of iron cavalry formed an array to surround the mountain, sealing it completely.

"A Great Array, iron cavalry, plus a Yang God..."

Xie Xuanyi's expression remained unchanged as he looked not far at Chi Wu and asked, "Is this your bottom card? Do you think you can take me down with this?"

"..."

Chi Wu just smiled.

Though they had been fleeing along the way.

But in the two engagements between Xie Xuanyi and the Law Enforcement, and Ye Zhu... Chi Wu had "seen it all."

She knew well.

The young Sword Immortal before her was by no means an ordinary Yang God.

"Some things, you always have to try to know the answer."

The woman brushed her hair gently, speaking softly, "Since you are so confident in your strength... why not see if you can survive today..."

Saying this, she retreated backward.

The wind between heaven and earth began to rush urgently—

At the mountain's base, King Yanle gently tugged the reins, and the snow-white Dragon Horse, infused with the Demon Race bloodline, leaped hundreds of feet, directly shattering the void, arriving atop Little Desolate Mountain!

Boom!

He slashed down, and the entire sky of wind and snow was torn apart by the blade light!

This slash was as condensed as a rainbow, and its momentum was grand...

Judging just from the power of the blade after promotion, King Yanle was even more formidable and tricky than the young master Luo Hai of the One Strike Sect!

Bang!

Xie Xuanyi did not retreat; he calmly waved his sleeve, shattering the sword aura with sword qi.

With one strike.

The entire void of Little Desolate Mountain was shattered!

The divine steed under King Yanle couldn't withstand this overwhelming pressure; after landing, its four hooves broke, and it heavily fell to the ground. The handsome man clad in heavy armor fell not far away, only glancing at it before withdrawing his gaze, seemingly indifferent to the divine steed's demise.

"Brother Xie, we meet again."

King Yanle spoke leisurely with his hands behind his back, "Five years have passed; I never thought today would come."

Five years ago.

The two had a peaceful discussion, each yielding a step in the courtyard.

Five years later.

The two met with blades, deciding not only victory or defeat but also life and death.

"The world is unpredictable."

Xie Xuanyi said indifferently, "However... today's scene, you should have anticipated."

"It's somewhat of a pity."

King Yanle smiled and said, "At that time, you had not been promoted. If I had gathered strength to kill... it wouldn't be as troublesome as today."

The meeting in the Northern County was the source of all this.

It was precisely the conversation in the Prince Mansion's courtyard that made Xie Xuanyi fully confirm the presence of the Paperman Sect in this Divine Travel World.

"..."

Xie Xuanyi slightly frowned.

He suddenly realized a problem.

For him, the Paperman Sect was hidden in the shadows.

But in Chi Wu's eyes, his identity as a "Divine Traveler" seemed to have been exposed long ago, and since the Paperman Sect wanted to manipulate cause and effect, they should have gotten rid of him as a calamity early on.

Chi Wu... had given him five years.

During these five years, what exactly was the Paperman Sect preparing?

The Da Chu Dynasty was calm and peaceful.

Although the Li Kingdom was in a power struggle, it was relatively stable.

Everything seemed to have no particularly significant changes. Over these five years, Xie Xuanyi was not just a wanderer but also an observer, confident that he had not missed any important events in the two dynasties.
