Lu Yuzhen's level?

The information about this Paperman Sect Master has always been a mystery.

Before the upheaval at Beihai Tomb and Xie Xuanyi's submission of a confidential scroll to the Book Tower, no one in the whole Great Chu Dynasty even knew the Master's name.

"Yangshen!"

Jiang Que's expression was solemn, and he spoke in a low voice: "Lu Yuzhen is different from those fake saints of the Three Great Sects... this guy is definitely a genuine Yangshen powerhouse!"

"With a Yangshen overseeing... the battle at Pure White Mountain may not be as straightforward as we imagined."

Ye Qinglian was equally solemn.

"Lord Wu Zhexian has already reached 'Zhanjiao Mountain.'"

Jiang Que took a deep breath: "Though Lu Yuzhen is strong, our side is not to be underestimated either."

Ye Qinglian gave a light nod, but there was evident worry in her expression.

Wu Zhexian was indeed powerful.

In the past hundred years of the Great Chu Dynasty, the highest martial Yangshen great cultivator.

But...

Could Wu Zhexian truly defeat Lu Yuzhen?

Jiang Que glanced at the young woman beside him and couldn't help but smile.

Still too young.

He smiled softly to reassure her: "Young Valley Master Ye, don't worry... We just need to focus on our attack. With the thousand-year heritage of the Great Chu Dynasty, how could we fail to handle an out-of-nowhere Paperman Sect? The true mastermind behind this battle isn't Wu Zhexian, it's the one in Ren Shou Palace."

"Indeed."

Ye Qinglian nodded, her concerns alleviated by his words.

"The entire Pure White Mountain is covered by eight fortressed Heavenly Peaks."

Daoist Qian Yuan said with a blank expression, "The grand formation set up by Lu Yuzhen corresponds to the Eight Diagram, interlinking and mutually reinforcing."

He lifted his sleeve and gently wiped across the air.

Red threads fluttered in the air.

The array pattern emerged.

For years, the Three Great Sects had been at odds with the Paperman Sect. Ever since the Pure White Mountain gate appeared, it had become a thorn in their side, with countless disciples sent to probe, only to be wiped out by white paper. But the higher-ups of the Three Great Sects had grasped the basic layout of the Pure White Mountain gate.

"The Eight Diagram Array could be considered the most perfect formation, incredibly solid and indestructible."

Jiang Que, well-versed in array techniques, couldn't help but frown after seeing the array pattern.

"Indeed."

"But nothing in this world is perfect."

Daoist Qian Yuan said calmly: "While this Eight Diagram formation is flawless and very difficult to breach from the outside, the moment it is broken, it collapses completely... If a hole is forcibly drilled into this perfect formation, the entire Pure White Mountain array will collapse and disintegrate one after another."

Ye Qinglian also frowned: "How do we break it?"

"That depends on the 'Master Wu' coming south from the Imperial City."

Daoist Qian Yuan smiled, "This big battle... is ultimately a contest of Yangshen. We Yin Gods have to wait for the array to be broken, storm the Pure White Mountain, and then exert our strength."

The most important task of this trip was to clear the route.

From Zhanjiao Mountain to the Pure White Mountain formation, at least three hours were needed.

After all, Xie Xuanyi and the others had already stepped into the Yinshen realm...

If the other disciples could achieve half their speed, it would already be quite good.

"This place is not safe for a prolonged stay."

Daoist Qian Yuan said in a deep voice: "It is said that the Paperman Sect has eight 'Immaculate Venerables' under its command, who roam and patrol the mountain gate frequently."

"Isn't that too alarming?"

Jiang Que was somewhat puzzled: "After all, we have four Yin Gods... Even if we encounter 'Immaculate Venerables,' we should not be forced to retreat."

"Do you remember the Yin Mountain friend I mentioned earlier who died here?"

Daoist Qian Yuan said slowly: "That friend had been cultivating under the Red Immortal of Yin Mountain for a long time, and had reached the Yinshen Twelve Realm, carrying a 'Soul-Beating Banner.' Yet merely approaching the outskirts of the Pure White Mountain led to his demise..."

Jiang Que and Ye Qinglian exchanged a complex glance.

Yinshen Twelve Realm!

This was a powerhouse of the Yinshen Late Stage...

Under the Red Immortal, this person was absolutely one of the top three!

"His death is not the primary concern. The key point is that the Soul-Beating Banner can transmit divine thoughts."

Xie Xuanyi's expression was indifferent; he asked directly: "Did this person transmit any useful images before dying?"

"Indeed... The crux is the Soul-Beating Banner."

Daoist Qian Yuan looked at Xie Xuanyi with a smile, then said slowly: "The Soul-Beating Banner transmitted the battle images. The one who killed the Yinshen Twelve Realm friend was an 'Immaculate Venerable' from the Paperman Sect. The entire battle lasted half a cup of tea at most, perhaps shorter. The vengeful spirits in the Soul-Beating Banner were all released, yet were ultimately overwhelmed by white paper. The Immaculate Venerable won with absolute dominance."

"A Yinshen Twelve Realm... without even a chance to escape?"

Ye Qinglian found it somewhat unbelievable.

"He tried."

Daoist Qian Yuan shook his head: "...But he didn't escape."

After saying this.

He directly took out a bamboo slip from within his crimson sleeve, which was the transmitted image from the Soul-Beating Banner.

Given Yin Mountain's usual character, suffering such a loss would typically not be disclosed, swallowing their grudges.

However, at this extraordinary time, with the Three Great Sects uniting against the Paperman Sect, the images were sent to the Heavenly Puppet Sect and Hehuan Sect on the same day.

Jiang Que and Ye Qinglian glanced at it, both feeling shocked.

"This 'Immaculate Venerable'... is at least at the Yinshen Seventeen Realm!"

"Indeed."

Daoist Qian Yuan said softly: "The power displayed by this Immaculate Venerable is almost equivalent to the leader of a Taoist altar. With our combined strength, if we encounter this enemy, our only option is to flee."

In the Yinshen realm, a difference of one realm is an insurmountable chasm.

For those in the Yinshen Late Stage, encountering a Yinshen Perfection can only mean escape.

"..."

Ye Qinglian had nothing to refute... She remembered the desperation at Carp Tide River with Jiang Qihu, unable to even touch the hem of the Sea Surfing King's garment.
