"I've said before that we desperately need these people to replenish our energy. Stop blocking my way and get out of my way!"

He stepped forward and tried to push Frey away, but Frey easily dodged!

She casually formed a hand seal, and countless talismans and runes instantly appeared among the celestial masters. The moment the runes flowed, they seemed to transform into golden rivers, surging and engulfing the group!
In a flash of golden light, the several celestial masters had completely vanished from their original spot.

The faceless man's expression immediately turned extremely ugly: "What do you mean by this? Are you trying to go back on your word?"

After finally gathering so many useful energy sources, this guy actually let them all go!

It's like finally finding ten million yuan, only to have it stolen by someone else. How can you bear it with such shame?

Frizz chuckled, her cute expression instantly turning cold and hard.

"It seems you are the culprit who caused me to leave the underworld. I will not wrong you now!"

A brush appeared in Zhang Hao's hand. He dipped it in the vermilion that appeared in the air, and rushed forward to launch a fatal attack on the opponent's vital points.

In the blink of an eye, the two sides had exchanged more than ten blows in less than a few seconds.

Although he only has a face, he can cast spells by chanting incantations. He chants incantations at an extremely fast speed, and he uses all kinds of magic, including those based on the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire, and earth), with unparalleled skill.

Zhang Hao himself possessed extremely high combat skills, narrowly avoiding certain death on multiple occasions.

The faceless man sneered, "It seems you do have some skill. However, you've truly angered me this time, resorting to such a method to lure me in. Do you think you can handle me? I have transcended the cycle of reincarnation."

Before he could finish speaking, Wu Lian suddenly felt the surrounding energy forming an irresistible binding force!

That binding force is constantly gathering in the space, gradually compressing the space in which he exists!

Sensing the approaching danger, he immediately tried to cast a spell to escape. However, when he finished chanting the incantation, the eerie face remained in place, failing to dissipate into the air as expected.

Faceless, filled with shock and horror, he gritted his teeth and demanded, "What methods did you use?"

His stealth and escape techniques, which he relied on for survival, had always been infallible, allowing him to successfully escape from this man multiple times before. Moreover, Zhang Hao was only possessing the evil spirit this time using a spirit possession technique; his strength should be inferior to the original body. Since even the true form couldn't defeat him, how could he have failed now?

"It's just a complete blockade and isolation of the space around you. Within this closed domain, even if you transcend the Six Paths of Reincarnation, you can't escape. Everything here is imprisoned," Zhang Hao replied calmly.

He never fought an unprepared battle. Recognizing the extent of the Faceless's threat, he began researching ways to deal with this demon skilled in stealth. The concept of spatial confinement guided him to develop new techniques, and so, while investigating the layout, he never forgot to hone his skills.

As times progress, practitioners must also continuously improve themselves, or they will eventually be eliminated by the tide of the times.

"Impossible! My magic has reached a state of perfection, and no one in the world can rival me!"

“Since no one can defeat you, there’s no need for a fight. I’ll just capture you directly.” Zhang Hao’s divine sense drifted out from the little girl’s body, condensing into a beam of light that materialized into a humanoid form. He steadily walked towards the floating face, with a transparent light screen separating them—this was the spatial cage imprisoning the faceless one.

Faceless, in a fit of rage, unleashed a barrage of spells at the imprisoning barrier, but no matter how powerful the attack, it was ineffective in this special space.

"Looks like you're still not going to behave." Zhang Hao lightly touched the outer wall of the barrier, and with a soft click, the cage suddenly shrank in size.

In an instant, the barrier shrank to a size that could no longer contain the face, forcing the faceless creature to twist and fold like kneaded clay. Its features, contorted and deformed under the pressure, appeared particularly horrifying in the moonlight.

"I told you before, if you don't cooperate, don't blame me for being ruthless."

The faceless creature roared furiously in the cramped space, "You bastard... just you wait!"

As the space continued to compress, he didn't even have room to open his mouth. Zhang Hao coldly stared at the barrier, which had shrunk to the size of a palm, where the faceless figure was almost compressed into a ball.

"Now tell me how to retrieve the three souls and seven spirits that you have absorbed."

The missing soul of the Cold Umbrella must still be in the enemy's hands. If it weren't for this, he would have already completely destroyed this evil creature.

The faceless creature let out a muffled groan. Zhang Hao lightly tapped the barrier with his fingers in a hand seal, slightly expanding the space to allow the creature's face to relax.

"What harm is there in telling you? I have already completely refined those soul energies. Your companion Han San's soul is no exception! Even killing me cannot undo it. Hahaha! In less than a year, all those whose souls I have absorbed will become my vassals! I am him, and he is me; they will completely obey my will. I will not truly die; I will be reborn! Just wait and see, Zhang Hao. So what if you have made a pact with the gods and gained power? I am by no means inferior to you!"

The faceless figure, amidst its maniacal laughter, was suddenly engulfed in flames, the raging fire reducing it to ashes. The change happened too quickly, in the blink of an eye.

Zhang Hao released the barrier to check, but unexpectedly, the handful of ashes condensed into an elastic gel the moment the barrier was opened, and with a whoosh, it disappeared into the sewer! This unexpected escape caught Zhang Hao off guard, allowing the cunning fellow to get away again!

Zhang Hao, his face ashen with dismay at his near-failure. His meticulously planned scheme had ended in such a tragic way!

What alarmed him even more was that the other party knew about his pact with the gods. This secret had never been revealed to anyone, and it was even more impossible for the celestial beings to spread it. Just who was this faceless person?
Seeing this, the little girl Freya, who had been watching all along, comforted her, saying, "Mistakes are inevitable sometimes, don't worry about it too much."

Zhang Hao's reaction was indeed overly concerned, even bordering on unease. Fuli thought to herself: Is that guy really that troublesome? Is he really worth all this fuss over? If even Zhang Hao struggles to deal with him, she must be extra vigilant in the future and thoroughly investigate her territory to prevent his infiltration.

Having made up his mind, Friel accompanied him on a walk through the woods. Dawn was breaking, and the rising sun should have symbolized hope, but as Zhang Hao gazed at the brilliant sunrise, a heavy gloom hung over his heart.

Faceless is indeed a tricky existence.

"Why don't we patrol elsewhere? Perhaps we can find clues about the Faceless One," Frey suggested. This area has just been besieged; the enemy shouldn't dare to return anytime soon. Moving the investigation location now might yield new discoveries.

Before Zhang Hao could respond, Han San's communication spell had already arrived. A water mirror slowly unfolded in the air, reflecting the figures of Han San and Old Zhang. Old Zhang's dark circles under his eyes were comparable to a panda's, and he urged us wearily, "Come back quickly! The Western authorities have protested again! If we don't return soon, they will issue a statement, affecting diplomacy between the two countries!" (End of Chapter)
