Ning Zhuo, aided by Yuan Dasheng’s thrust, successfully escaped from the original spot.
However, Heavy Blood Ape Dasheng was pierced by ice lines and immediately froze into a massive ice block.
In the past, Yuan Dasheng, who could play a protective role, lost his combat power after just a glance.
Ning Zhuo didn’t even dare to store him away.
The ice block emitted a stern cold Qi, capable of freezing all life around it!
The opponent was truly too powerful, evidently a top-tier Nascent Soul Cultivator in terms of combat strength.
This couldn’t help but remind Ning Zhuo of the Heaven and Earth Ghosts from the Soul Devouring Sect.
"The campaign of Liangzhu Country against the Thousand Peak Forest was just a new military campaign from Liangzhu Country; Thousand Peak Forest was merely a corner of land."
"And the century-long plan of Lord of Wanchuan, those left to guard by his side must be the elite of the elite."
"This enemy, placed in the Mortal World, would definitely be on the level of Heaven and Earth Ghosts, renowned across all countries. Perhaps even stronger than the Heaven and Earth Ghosts!"
Of course, Ning Zhuo found it challenging to determine who was stronger.
After all, when he dealt with the Heaven and Earth Ghosts, it was coincidental; although he repelled them, that record had a lot of fluff.
Ning Zhuo felt the enormous gap in combat power between himself and the enemy.
But his fighting spirit was firm, never wavering in the slightest!
"Mother wouldn’t harm me."
"Grey Bone Elder’s art of divination, combined with the handiwork of the Mysterious Scholar, are all my hidden advantages."
"Most importantly, I am the savior, blessed with the Mortal World’s lifespan!"
"The enemy army appears strong on the surface, but there must be weaknesses."
"If they are truly so powerful, why didn’t they intercept when the Qing Jiao Army ascended? Why let our army calmly set up the array?"
"Despite being engaged, only one Nascent Soul Cultivator is fighting. The other has been observing all along, which is even more peculiar!"
"They must have unspeakable flaws, fatal weaknesses that are just well-hidden."
"I must find it, and I will definitely find it!"
Ning Zhuo gritted his teeth and fought hard, unaware that inside, Han Yan’s heart was also surging.
"This young man is truly outstanding!"
"It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such an exceptional youth."
Such an evaluation was extremely high.
All because Han Yan was a high-level figure in the Wangchuan Underworld. He was evaluating Ning Zhuo from the perspective of an entire nation.
Han Yan lightly murmured in his heart: "Qing Jiao Army..."
The Lord of Wangchuan conveyed the latest intelligence to his subordinates.
Concerning matters of the Mortal World’s battlefield and White Paper Immortal City, they didn’t need to be informed. But now, why the Qing Jiao Army came to kill was a matter requiring understanding.
Han Yan hovered in mid-air, overlooking the battlefield, his eyes more often focused on Ning Zhuo.
"It seems this person is the calamity sent from the Mortal World, here to trouble the Lord?"
"Clearly just Foundation Establishment Cultivation, yet possessing such profound spell realm! Truly shameful to countless old ghosts of a thousand years."
"His three Dantians all have vigorous aura, the cultivation technique he is practicing must be top-notch to achieve such a degree."
"I’m also intrigued by his physical body, soul, each aspect is strong, far beyond the standard of the Foundation Establishment Stage."
"No cultivation technique in the world can achieve this kind of balance. This means he found other magic techniques, expended enormous resources to build such a profound foundation."
"To achieve this, either he has a deep background or strong fortune!"
"With such youthful potential, not even twenty years old, it’s simply unimaginable."
Han Yan concluded that with this development, Ning Zhuo would undoubtedly become a man amongst dragons and phoenixes, a leader among youth, a pillar of support, an authoritative figure, and even a grand master in cultivation.
"Such a person, brimming with talent, is surely a child of the Qi Fortune of the Mortal World."
"What a pity, to contend against my Lord of Wangchuan’s national fortune."
"To avoid future troubles, the first to kill is you!"
The more outstanding Ning Zhuo was, the more Han Yan dreaded him, deciding to act first to eliminate Ning Zhuo for good.
But just as he was about to move ruthlessly, suddenly the Hundred Ghost Mother transmitted her voice: "Wait before you act!"
Han Yan was surprised, having already seen Ning Zhuo’s excellence and potential, surely his colleagues could see it too. He couldn’t understand why Hundred Ghost Mother wanted to stop him.
Hundred Ghost Mother communicated with a divine sense transmission, briefly explaining: "I have already reported the details to the Lord. Stopping you from killing the Qing Jiao Army is the Lord’s command. And the Lord ordered confidentiality, so I cannot speak clearly, my apologies."
Han Yan was even more puzzled, immediately transmitting his divine sense to the core of the altar at the rear, indeed receiving a response from the Earth Evil God.
The Lord of Wangchuan’s main body lay dormant in the Wangchuan Tributary; his Divine Separation was both trying various methods dealing with the Cold Abyss Ice Coffin Candle, while also maintaining the overall situation.
Naturally, Han Yan obeyed the mandate of the Lord of Wangchuan, sighing in his heart: "The Lord voluntarily held back, allowing me to capture this young person alive. From another perspective, this is also due to the youth’s Qi Fortune."
Han Yan reduced the offensive, starting to wear down Ning Zhuo, Qing Yan, biding his time to capture them alive.
Seeing Han Yan’s assault obviously diminishing, Qing Yan became excited, shouting aloud: "Hold on! Hold on! He’s showing signs of fatigue, evidently hindered by injuries and unable to battle long."
"Keep going, the turning point may come in the next moment!"
Ning Zhuo nodded, gradually stabilizing the formation.
At the same time, Luo Si looked up, gazing at the rolling black clouds in the sky, as streaks of blood-red lightning flashed in the clouds.
Relying on his capability as a commander, he led the army to retreat calmly.
Before leaving, he employed tactics to confiscate the Taixu Disintegration Ruler of the White Paper Immortal City Lord.
At this moment, he rushed here with the order from the Lord of Wangchuan to rendezvous and assist in defense.
