"Fang Zhi had his suspicions by now, and to dispel them, someone had to divert his attention and enter with him," explained Liang Yi briefly to An Mujing.

"Does that mean Sister Su intends to..." An Mujing quickly understood what Liang Yi and Su Youyi's conversation was about, and turned to look at Su Youyi, who had a faint smile on her face.

"I wanted her to stay here, but she definitely wouldn't want to, and I can't stop her, so I had to take her with me," Liang Yi spread his hands, his face showing helplessness, which in the next second turned into brimming confidence.

"Even in dangerous places, the two of us facing it together will ensure neither of us will have any regrets, and besides, I will definitely protect my disciple sister."

"My realm isn't even as high as yours, brother; if anyone should be protecting, it should be me protecting you," muttered Su Youyi quietly.

"Ha ha, Liang Yi, you're really embarrassing, meow!" Old Mr. Orange seized the chance to mercilessly tease him.

"You're really asking for it," Liang Yi sighed with a full head of black lines.

"Well, you guys go ahead, I won't be joining you. I'll be waiting outside for your good news, meow," Old Mr. Orange adjusted his stance and kicked off from Liang Yi's shoulder, jumping into An Mujing's arms.

Though Fang Zhi the big boss led the team in ambushing Fu Changxing, he knew very well the principle of staying out of fights where he could. What if Fu Changxing fought back at his last breath? Fang Zhi and his team might not be scared, but Old Mr. Orange, being the small fry that he is, didn't want any part in it.

"No, Old Mr. Orange, you said you were in on this, you can't run away now." Still in midair, Old Mr. Orange suddenly felt a tightness around his neck, with his fate's nape once again caught by Liang Yi,

"Let go of me! Let me go! I'm not going, meow!" Old Mr. Orange flailed his limbs in midair, wanting to fall into An Mujing's soft embrace rather than follow Liang Yi into the danger zone.

"Hmm, you really don't have a say in this, kids should just obediently listen to their guardians," Liang Yi completely ignored Old Mr. Orange's protests, grabbed him by the back of his neck, and signaled his disciple sister to approach Fu Changxing rapidly via the Milky Way.

An Mujing stood in place, biting her lip, her eyes filled with struggle, eventually sighing away all her confusion, realizing this was Liang Yi and Su Youyi's trust in her—she could not let them down!

"Elder Fu, did something happen?" Liang Yi called out from afar.

"Oh, Chief Liang—it's nothing, just suddenly remembered something," Fu Changxing came back to his senses, and reassured seeing Liang Yi and Su Youyi approaching.

As long as Liang Yi and Su Youyi were by his side, he could take them hostage anytime he faced danger and undoubtedly escape safely.

"Hmm? Why isn't that girl Mujing coming over?" Fu Changxing looked puzzled, noticing that someone was missing.

"Oh, Old Mr. Orange was hungry, I asked Sister An to help prepare some Spirit Food, she'll be here soon," Liang Yi conversed casually with Fu Changxing, showing no signs of peculiarity.

Fu Changxing looked at Liang Yi, then at Su Youyi by his side, and the depressed Demon Clan Young Master sitting on his shoulder, seeing no issues at all.

Apart from Old Mr. Orange staying true to his nature, Liang Yi and Su Youyi were strong contenders for an Oscar.

"Let's hurry and get these goods inside," Fu Changxing reassured himself amidst inner turmoil, turning to lead the convoy forward.

Seeing Fu Changxing and his entourage enter, An Mujing decisively turned and left, but unnoticed by anyone, she had already quietly activated the Array that enveloped the entire mountain peak.

The stars around the mountain flickered imperceptibly for a moment before returning to normal, any significant phenomena were eradicated in advance by Fang Zhi.

Four Directions Star Constellation Star Hiding Array! Its concealment was unmatched in this world!

"What's going on?" Azure Dragon, hiding in the shadows, looked puzzled; he clearly felt something happening, but upon closer inspection, couldn't detect anything.

"How is it?" The person beside Azure Dragon, his arms sore from trying to stay hidden and unseen by the Complete Heaven Star Battle Array, said, tired from the effort and barely able to spare any divine sense to check on the situation in the Heavenly Realm.

"The bait was clearly laid out; did we overestimate Fang Zhi? He doesn't seem to have taken the bait," Stone Jun's eyes were filled with confusion, unsure of what was happening.

This plot against Fang Zhi indeed required two people, but it wasn't Fu Changxing and him; it was him and this internal supporter beside him.

Even with the Abyss Power Protective Talisman bestowed by the Sect Hierarch, Fang Zhi was not someone to be underestimated, so he planned to cloak the lie with truth.

Using Fu Changxing as bait to make Fang Zhi bite and let his guard down.

But the current situation seemed drastically different from what he envisioned. Could it be that Fang Zhi truly noticed nothing?

"I can't hold on anymore, let's withdraw," the person beside Stone Jun was already showing signs of sweat on his forehead, a manifestation of excessive pressure.

Contesting and concealing from the Complete Heaven Star Battle Array single-handedly was no easy feat.

Stone Jun, unwilling to give up, scouted the area around the mountain peak in the Heavenly Realm once more, finding no anomalies, and could only reluctantly withdraw his divine sense with a snort.

"As the rumors say, incomplete; well, better for us if Fang Zhi isn't as cunning as we thought," Azure Dragon Stone Jun secretly hoped Fang Zhi was foolish, which would significantly reduce the difficulty of their mission.

"Let's go, get ready to give Fang Zhi a surprise," the shadow leaned and shifted into the light.

This man was Qu Tianfei, the famously amiable elder of the sect.

"Qu Elder, what are you doing here?" a team, as usual, patrolling the sect, puzzledly looked at the elder and younger figures on the mountain peak.

"Oh, being old makes one feel a bit stifled. I just wanted my nephew to accompany me for a walk and enjoy a bit of breeze." Qu Tianfei, despite his aged and stooped figure, wore a kind expression. One hand clasped behind his back, he amicably greeted the patrolling disciples with the other.

"That is Elder Qu's nephew, I've never seen him before." The other members of the patrol team gazed curiously at the young man standing next to Elder Qu.

However, for some unknown reason, upon seeing the tall figure facing away from them on the mountain peak, they subconsciously felt a trace of fear.

"Tianjun, it's time to go back." Qu Tianfei waved his hand cheerfully, slowly moving his feet, and he and the young man, who had never shown his face, transformed into tunneling light and disappeared from the peak.

The remaining disciples of the Complete Heaven Sect exchanged looks, feeling that something was off but they couldn't quite put their finger on it.

"Should we report this?" The young captain of the team, recalling the strange feeling he had just experienced, hesitantly asked the disciples behind him.

"Agreed."

"I also agree."

The rest of the team had no objections. If it were just one person feeling this way, it might be an exception, but with a group feeling the same, either something was wrong with them or with the young man.

"Recently, it really has been an eventful autumn. There are so many unfamiliar faces in the sect." The team leader of the Complete Heaven Sect shook his head and recorded the event into a special Communication Talisman of the sect, sending it to the Discipline Star Palace.

They lacked the capability to delve into the truth of the matter, so they could only leave it to the professionals.

Meanwhile, Liang Yi and Su Youyi were following Elder Fu Changxing into the Inverted Mountain.

From the outside, the mountain peak shone brightly like the stars, but once inside, it was still in its normal state with lush trees and abundant herbs, and they themselves were not hanging upside down along with the mountain.

"Not right, it's too quiet." As soon as Fu Changxing entered, he sensed something was wrong. The mountain peak was eerily quiet, devoid of any signs of living creatures.

Someone had cleared the area ahead of time!

And the only person in the Entire Complete Heaven Sect who could do this without being noticed by him was Fang Zhi!

A sense of deadly crisis crazily alerted him that this time, it might truly be a matter of life and death!

"Stay away from him!" A sharp and familiar voice exploded next to Liang Yi's ear.

"You're betraying me!?" Fu Changxing no longer feigned ignorance or questioned why this was happening to him when it became apparent that he was fully exposed.

What was previously a mild mannered squint vanished, replaced with an unmatched fierce aura bursting forth from Fu Changxing, transforming his face into something ferocious. His already extraordinary size now imposed an unparalleled pressure on Liang Yi, Su Youyi, and Elder Grandpa Orange.

"Attack! And you two, where do you think you're running to!!" A furious shout, like a thunderclap, sounded, as Fu Changxing commanded his subordinates to fight with all they've got to buy him time, even if it meant their total annihilation.

Fu Changxing, who seemed as massive as a mountain, charged toward Liang Yi and Su Youyi like a whirlwind. He was acutely aware that the key to his survival hinged on capturing either Liang Yi or Su Youyi.

Fu Changxing, known publicly as a Daoist Practitioner, in the face of such peril, could no longer hide himself, revealing the fact that he was actually a Body Cultivator.

And the greatest asset of a Body Cultivator is being unmatched within a small radius!

Just getting slightly close to Liang Yi and Su Youyi would allow him to crush them easily!

But Liang Yi and Su Youyi, fully prepared and alerted by Fang Zhi's warning, instantly retreated, employing the same leisurely movement technique at full force, distancing themselves from Fu Changxing with the shrill cry of Kunpeng.

Yet, the disparity in their realms was evident, as a Seventh Realm Body Cultivator in full power was even faster than the ordinary tunneling light!

"ROAR!!"

A thunderous roar suddenly reverberated through the entire Inverted Mountain, as Elder Grandpa Orange, who had jumped off Liang Yi's shoulder mid-way, transformed in the blink of an eye into a towering giant, a hundred meters tall, inheriting the ancient and barbaric ferocity of the Grand Saint of Nine Spirits, his gaping maw colliding fiercely with the charging Fu Changxing.

"Your Elder Grandpa Orange isn't just good at being cute and purring!"

Fu Changxing's face darkened like stormy waters, his hands fiercely gripping Elder Grandpa Orange's jaws to prevent a lethal bite.

Despite being of a lower realm, the beast's claws were inexplicably sharp, managing to inflict a deep, bone-exposing wound on him, a Seventh Realm Body Cultivator. Surprisingly, the rest of this beast's body still bore the normal physique of the Fifth Realm, hardly bearing one strike from him.

Now he believed that this seemingly dumb and silly creature was really a Young Master of the Demon Clan! Leveraging the power of its bloodline to confront a Seventh Realm Body Cultivator was proof enough of many things.

But regardless of how extraordinary the bloodline, it was still merely a one-strike force.

"Meow!"

Fu Changxing seized the moment to punch Elder Grandpa Orange in the waist, sending him flying while spewing golden blood. Accompanied by a scream, Elder Grandpa Orange crashed into the nearby dense forest, plowing a hundred-meter-long trench on the ground and breaking numerous trees with rising dust.

Just as Elder Grandpa Orange's massive body cleared from Fu Changxing's line of sight, restoring his vision for a moment, two pairs of cold and calm eyes erupted in his face with unparalleled sword light.

"Southern Dipper!"

"Star Fall!"
