In Zhu Xian, people start to rise from plundering entries

Su Han said no more and quietly left the inn with Lu Xueqi and Biyao, disappearing into the night.

As a transportation hub, Heyang City, despite its city gates being guarded, could hardly stop Su Han and his two companions.
They easily bypassed the patrol teams, arrived at the foot of the city wall, found a secluded spot, and leaped over the wall to leave Heyang City.

Outside the city lay a desolate wilderness, the night deep, with only the moonlight providing some illumination.

The three dared not be careless, and used their movement techniques to travel swiftly in the southeast direction.

That's the direction of Qingyun Sect, and also a shortcut to leave the territory of Fenxiang Valley.

However, after walking for more than ten miles, Su Han suddenly stopped in front of a valley, his face solemn.

"What's wrong?" Biyao asked.

Su Han's gaze swept across the dark forest around him, and he said in a deep voice, "There's an ambush."

As soon as he finished speaking, countless torches suddenly lit up all around, illuminating the valley as if it were daytime.

Dozens of disciples dressed in the attire of the Incense Valley emerged from the forest and surrounded the three.

The leader was none other than Li Fen, who had returned after leaving!

Behind him, besides the two Nascent Soul elders, there was also an old Taoist priest with a withered face, dressed in a crimson Taoist robe.

The old Taoist priest held a whisk in his hand, his eyes gleaming with a sharp light as he opened and closed, and his aura was even stronger than Li Fen's!
"Heh, I knew you'd leave the city tonight," Li Fen sneered. "Let's see where you run this time!"

He pointed at the old Taoist in red robes and said arrogantly, "This is the Crimson Cloud True Man of my Incense Burning Valley, with the cultivation of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator at the Great Perfection! It is your honor to die at the hands of a True Man!"

Master Chixia's gaze swept over Su Han and the other two, pausing slightly on Lu Xueqi, a hint of surprise flashing across his face before returning to his composure.

"The two children have good cultivation, but it's a pity they've made the wrong friends with villains." True Man Chixia's voice was hoarse. "If they are willing to surrender, perhaps they can be spared a complete corpse."

Biyao's face turned pale, and she whispered, "This is troublesome. This old monster's cultivation is only one step away from the Nascent Soul stage."

Su Han felt heavy-hearted.

A late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, Crimson Cloud True Man, plus Li Fen and two early-stage Nascent Soul elders—this lineup was far beyond their ability to contend with.

Moreover, there was a formation formed by dozens of elite disciples of the Incense Valley around them.

Today's situation is truly a desperate predicament!
Lu Xueqi gripped the Tianya Divine Sword, its blade gleaming with a brilliant blue light, clearly prepared for a desperate battle.

Su Han took a deep breath, his mind racing as he considered a way to escape.

A direct confrontation is definitely not an option; we must outsmart them.

He remembered the jade slip that Manager Wang had given him, but that was a last resort and should not be used unless absolutely necessary.

“Su Han,” Li Fen said sinisterly, “if you hand over this demoness now, I might consider sparing your life.”

Upon hearing this, Su Han suddenly smiled.

He stepped forward, shielding Biyao and Lu Xueqi behind him, and looked directly at Li Fen.

"Elder Li, there is something I don't understand. Please enlighten me."

Li Fen frowned: "You're about to die, what questions do you still have?"

Su Han calmly replied, "As far as I know, Junior Nephew Li Xun was defeated and died in a fair duel with Miss Biyao. The rules of the cultivation world dictate that life and death are determined by fate, and wealth and honor are bestowed by heaven. As a leading righteous sect, why would Burning Incense Valley resort to such acts of bullying the weak and the strong? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at by the world if this gets out?"

Upon hearing this, Li Fen's expression immediately turned ugly.

There is indeed such an unwritten rule in the cultivation world: elders are not allowed to interfere or retaliate in fair battles among the younger generation. Otherwise, the major sects would have been in chaos long ago.

Li Fen's actions today are indeed contrary to morality.

"Hmph! Eloquent tongue!" Li Fen said sternly, "That witch of the Demonic Sect is full of tricks. Who knows what despicable means she used to kill Xun'er! No matter how much you talk today, you will not escape death!"

Su Han shook his head and sighed, "It seems Elder Li is determined to break the rules. In that case..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly retreated rapidly, and at the same time, he flicked his hands, sending dozens of talismans shooting out. In the air, they transformed into a sky full of fireballs, wind blades, and ice spikes, bombarding the Fenxiang Valley disciples around him!

The sudden change caught the Incense Valley disciples off guard. Although they were prepared, the unexpected attack still threw them into disarray.

"Do it!"

Su Han gave a low shout, and Lu Xueqi and Biyao attacked at the same time!

Lu Xueqi drew her Tianya Divine Sword, and a dazzling blue sword aura, like the Milky Way in the heavens, slashed straight at True Person Chixia!

She knew this person posed the greatest threat, so she went all out from the start!

Biyao then unleashed the Heartbreak Flower, its petals like sharp blades, swirling towards Li Fen and the two Nascent Soul elders.

She herself silently slipped into the shadows, preparing to use the Ghost King Sect's eerie movement techniques to carry out an assassination.

After issuing the talisman, Su Han did not hesitate and directly summoned the fragment of the Samsara Mirror!
Although it is only a fragment, it is still an ancient artifact with extraordinary power!

A beam of chaotic light shot out from the mirror, and the space around it was slightly distorted!
The first few disciples of Fenxiang Valley to be hit by the light were instantly frozen in place, their movements becoming extremely sluggish.

"An ancient artifact?" A hint of surprise flashed in True Immortal Crimson Clouds' eyes, which then turned into greed.

With a flick of his whisk, he easily neutralized Lu Xueqi's sword energy. At the same time, he formed a hand seal with his left hand, and a crimson light shield protected Li Fen and the other two, blocking the attack of the Heartbreak Flower.

"There is indeed some skill involved, but in the face of absolute power, everything is in vain!"

Crimson Cloud Immortal snorted coldly, his figure suddenly disappeared, and the next moment he appeared in front of Su Han, his withered hand grabbing directly at the fragment of the Samsara Mirror!
The speed is unbelievable!

Su Han was terrified; it was too late to dodge!

Just as he was about to be captured, suddenly, a shadowy figure attacked from the side, aiming straight for the ribs of True Man Chixia!
It's Biyao!
At the critical moment, she disregarded her own safety and stepped in to save Su Han!
Master Chixia frowned and had no choice but to defend himself with his palm.

boom!
Biyao was struck as if by a heavy blow, vomiting blood and flying backward.

But she also bought Su Han a precious moment!
Su Han took the opportunity to retreat while simultaneously activating the Reincarnation Mirror fragment with all his might!

"Eye of Reincarnation, open!"

The mirror shone brightly, and an illusory eye appeared on its surface, coldly gazing at True Immortal Crimson Clouds.

Even someone of the Crimson Cloud True Man's cultivation level felt a jolt in his mind and his movements slowed down a beat when he was stared at by those eyes.

Just then, Lu Xueqi's sword arrived!
The Heavenly Sword, with its unstoppable momentum, pierced straight into the back of True Man Chixia!

Attack from both front and back!

Master Chixia finally became truly enraged.

"An ant trying to shake a tree—it's overestimating its own strength!"

Suddenly, a raging inferno erupted from his body, making him look like a god of fire descending to earth. The powerful spiritual energy impact sent Su Han and Lu Xueqi flying at the same time!
The difference in cultivation level is too great! (End of Chapter)
