Zhang Youting, though most of his attention was focused on Lu Shanxing, remained concerned about the pavilion ship that stayed motionless at its original location, a ship he seemingly recalled hearing about somewhere.

However, because of Zhou Yuqing, any divine sense Zhang Youting tried to employ for investigation was incinerated to exhaustion within several kilometers of approaching that pavilion ship.

"What powerful flames!" The burning sensation from his Divine Soul, coupled with an implication of dissatisfaction, startled Zhang Youting, but he soon calmed down.

The owner of the flame was evidently many times stronger than him, yet the fact they had not taken action implied they did not intend to interfere.

Got it, got it. I'll take care of Lu Shanxing and then clear the space for the boss.

"I am Zhang Youting from the Zhang Family. I am currently hunting down remnants of the Devouring Spirit Sect disguised as True Inheritors of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect. I beseech fellow Daoists not to be deceived by that demon."

With that thought, Zhang Youting no longer held back; every move he made was a killing technique, and his slanderous words twisted the nose of Lu Shanxing with rage.

"Do not believe him; he is the real remnant of the Devouring Spirit Sect. I, along with other True Inheritor friends, are pursuing him," Lu Shanxing yelled, fearing that the Great Cultivator inside the pavilion ship might believe the demon's words, and out of desperation, he discarded his dignity.

Zhang Youting sneered coldly, seizing the opportunity to inflict a few more wounds on the rookie who had just entered the Sixth Realm. His loud cry was not intended to provoke the senior but was meant to keep the Great Cultivator puzzled for a while longer, just to handle Lu Shanxing.

Lu Shanxing clenched his teeth, the rage in his eyes nearly overflowing, wishing he could kill this demon just with his gaze.

Suppressing a bitter taste of blood in his mouth, Lu Shanxing no longer carried his initial composure. His entire body battered up, and the mountain under his feet was on the verge of breaking.

Although he was forming hand seals, the Spiritual Power inside his body was nearly stagnant, but Lu Shanxing still struggled to gather Spiritual Power around him.

Zhang Youting smirked coldly, dispersing the fireworks in his hand, meteors scattered across the sky, aiming directly at Lu Shanxing. The meteor shower of flames was like the scattering of flowers by celestial maidens, supremely beautiful yet carrying the meteors' fire that burns all things.

Lu Shanxing gritted his teeth, summoning his strength to start making calculations.

Under Zhang Youting's doubtful gaze, Lu Shanxing bizarrely walked out from the Daoist skills that almost sealed all paths of survival, his dazzling orange flames not even touching his clothes.

But the Star Core mountain beneath his feet, serving as his power source, had completely collapsed, no longer able to provide any help to Lu Shanxing.

"Is this the Divination Skill of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect?" Zong Liangyi and others, leisurely observing the spectacle, had their eyes lit up, showing interest in the Daoist Skill displayed by Lu Shanxing.

Unlike Complete Heaven Sect which foresees dangers before they arrive, Senluo Wanxiang Sect tends to seek opportunities amidst dangers, finding a way to defy the heavens and alter fate.

"With just this Divination Skill, Lu Shanxing truly lives up to his name as a True Inheritor," commented Zhou Yuqing appreciatively. "However, this is the farthest he can go. If he doesn't have any life-saving tricks up his sleeve, he is destined to fall here today."

But before Zong Liangyi could say anything, Zhou Yuqing's expression subtly shifted, turning her head towards the distant Void.

"One, two, three, are they True Inheritors of the Senluo Wanxiang Sect?"

Zong Liangyi and Su Youyi followed Zhou Yuqing's gaze, but they saw nothing.

"Let's make our move now. If we wait any longer, reinforcements from Senluo Wanxiang Sect will arrive."

"Alright, junior sister, shall we go together?" Liang Yi nodded, summoning Su Youyi to join him side by side.

Although Liang Yi alone was enough to deal with the people from Devouring Spirit Sect, ending the battle quickly wasn't likely. After all, Zhao Youting wasn't some game monster who fought to the death.

So, to save time, Liang Yi had to opt for a group assault in the name of justice.

"Yes!" Su Youyi naturally had no objections. She always viewed the followers of Devouring Spirit Sect with a spirit of grinding their bones and scattering their ashes. If it wasn't for Zhao Youting still having some usefulness, she would have drawn her sword and slain him the moment her flawless sword heart signaled an alert.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi's movements didn't escape Zhao Youting, who had a firm grasp on the battle situation. The moment Liang Yi and Su Youyi leaped out from the building ship, Zhao Youting immediately gave up on Lu Shanxing, who he could have killed with one more strike, turned into tunneling light and planned to escape.

He thought the building ship looked familiar; wasn't this Taoist Sect's Liang Yi and Su Youyi's Magical Treasure? The Azure Dragon Deputy from the past who had tried to ambush and kill Liang Yi had reported this information after being defeated. However, it had been too long, and Zhao Youting, preoccupied with other matters, hadn't recalled it immediately.

Zhao Youting no longer bothered to disguise himself as a member of the Zhao family and exerted the unique Daoist Skill of Devouring Spirit Sect with all his might, just to escape from this place as quickly as possible.

He hadn't forgotten that aboard that building ship was a Cultivator he couldn't afford to provoke.

"Running now? Too late!" Liang Yi chuckled darkly, sword light rippling in his hand like water, incredibly catching up to Zhao Youting's tunneling light and blocking him.

At this time, Lu Shanxing also recognized Liang Yi and Su Youyi. While filled with gratitude for surviving a close call, he gritted his teeth and summoned his last breath to desperately entangle Zhao Youting.

"Lu Shanxing! You really think I can't kill you?" Zhao Youting, intercepted and frantic with anger, roared furiously.

Seeing Liang Yi and Su Youyi getting closer, Zhao Youting's sense of despair grew.

Under the pursuit of Senluo Wanxiang Sect, daring to seize the opportunity to counter-kill Lu Shanxing also meant how courageous he was, but now courage alone was not enough.

Whether it was the man or the woman, his Cultivator's intuition sensed a lethal threat.

"Want to kill me? You can try!"

Although Lu Shanxing's words were bold, he was still continuously struck, vomiting blood—literally the embodiment of talking tough while receiving the harshest blows.

Fortunately, the timely arrival of Liang Yi and Su Youyi ensured that he did not meet an untimely demise.

"Fellow Daoist Lu, please rest for now. It's just to verify the truthfulness of that guy's words that we were slightly delayed," Liang Yi's words brought Lu Shanxing to tears of gratitude, his voice choked.

So, it turns out Daoist friend Liang wasn't leaving him to die but was instead discerning who was lying. Although it took some time, the outcome was good, wasn't it?

"I'll leave it to Daoist friend Liang and Fairy Su then, I'll stay on the sidelines and watch your formation," Lu Shanxing bowed to the two as they walked away.

Although Lu Shanxing had escaped far, he did not move too far away; after all, he still wanted to witness his foe's miserable state.

He had never suffered such a big loss in his life!
