Among the Ten Yama Kings, Song Emperor ranked third, holding the highest position among the five Yama Kings present.

“Song Emperor possesses such spirit! I will accompany you!” King Equality declared.

Once assured that Yue Leng had been lured away by King Qin Guang, his anxiety seemed to vanish. His voice now rang with fervor, displaying immense valor.

Yet, everyone knew he merely sought to follow the strongest, Song Emperor, to ensure his own safety.

No one exposed him. The status of each person within the organization gradually formed through various circumstances.

If Hell Without Door continued to develop, King Equality, lacking in responsibility, would likely find it difficult to maintain his current position.

King Bian Cheng simply stated, “Then I shall go to Celestial Prefecture City.”

“King Wu Guan, which side will you follow?” King Metropolitan asked.

“With my current strength, I cannot burden you. I will venture alone,” King Wu Guan said. “Once you complete your plan and incite chaos, I will find a way to escape directly into the sea.”

Song Emperor glanced at him, casually advising, “In your current state, acting alone will hardly guarantee safety.”

King Wu Guan remained expressionless, only saying, “Each to their fate.”

“Very well,” Song Emperor said no more.

“Then let us proceed.”

King Wu Guan directly clasped his hands together, severing the connection.

After the light screen vanished, and he could no longer be seen, the weakness and weariness in his eyes completely disappeared.

He had indeed invested “blood capital” this time, but he wasn’t truly without a stockpile of corpses from strong individuals.

In many past operations, King Qin Guang had brought King Wu Guan along, and he frequently helped King Qin Guang relay orders, so no one doubted his words.

However, only he knew that this time, King Qin Guang had never issued such an order!

King Qin Guang’s original words were only that he would lure away Yue Leng, allowing everyone to seize the opportunity to break through the border. He never mentioned slaughtering the Quiet Sea Region or attacking Celestial Prefecture City.

“I wonder if Yin Guan is dead now.”

King Wu Guan murmured, “But how could they escape by simply swarming the border? Hell Without Door needs someone to return and oversee the situation…”

There were no natural defenses between Rong Country and the Yang Region.

This posed no issue when the Yang Region was still Yang Country. But Yang Region’s sudden transformation into Qi territory became a significant concern for the Rong Country court.

Almost the most elite troops of the entire Rong Country were stationed in the border city of Guiding Light City, but it could only provide a small measure of reassurance.

True security actually came from the world-dominating Jing Country, the restless Mu Country in the north, and the Xia Country, which had never forgotten revenge.

These powerful nations were unwilling to see Qi Country further strengthened.

The balance of power among the great nations created space for small nations to survive.

The Qi-Yang War had erupted very suddenly and ended just as decisively. The great nations did not have time to interfere.

Rong Country resolved to learn from this lesson. Therefore, it heavily guarded Guiding Light City and hoped to hold out for a few more days if war broke out.

While blockading the borders of Yang Country, Qi Country also left behind many outposts. After the Yang Region was annexed, these outposts naturally turned into border posts—closer to the border than the previous border cities of Yang Country.

They were even near the boundary markers that had previously divided Yang Country and Rong Country.

Qi Country did not use the old border cities of Yang Country as border cities. Instead, it directly expanded the outposts and stationed troops there. But Rong Country dared only to be angry and dared not speak out. Besides increasing vigilance, it still increased vigilance.

Thanks to the former Minister of Rites, Zhao Xuan, the Yang Country’s national protection array easily integrated into Qi Country’s national protection array. It now covered these outposts.

Although the national protection array was not fully activated, entering and exiting Qi Country’s borders under martial law was not easy.

For example, merchants going to Rong Country needed to have their identities verified at the border post, recorded by the border troops, and stamped before a travel permit was issued, so that they could peacefully cross the border.

Anyone who forcibly crossed the border without a travel permit would trigger a reaction from the national protection array.

Although the intensity was not great, cultivators in the Outer Building Realm would certainly not be able to break it in a short time. Corresponding to the strength of the assassins of Hell Without Door, this level was sufficient.

For national protection arrays of the level of Qi Country, even if they were completely closed for use, the resources consumed every day would be astronomical. Preventing Outer Building Realm level strength was completely different from preventing Divine Proximity Realm, or even Cave Truth Realm, the consumption would be increased exponentially. Therefore, the Political Affairs Hall set the limit with the Upper Limit of Outer Building Realm strength.

Amidst various thoughts, the Desheng Merchant caravan finally approached the border.

In perhaps less than half an hour, they would reach the nearest border post.

The carriage moved at a steady pace. Jiang Wang’s eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of wind.

That sharp whistling, like the roar of a strange beast.

Someone was approaching at an extremely terrifying speed!

Jiang Wang immediately opened his eyes, smashed out of the carriage, and shouted, “Forget the goods, I’ll bear the loss! Everyone scatter and flee for your lives!”

A black dot in the sky continued to enlarge, quickly revealing a specific outline. Yue Leng, clad in black constabulary robes, descended from the sky, his target clear: the cargo carriage where Yin Guan was hidden.

As he arrived, the carriage shattered, along with the goods and the horses pulling the carriage, all reduced to pieces. Yet, no one in the nearby caravan was harmed.

Such was the might of the Divine Catcher.

However, amidst the scattered remains, Yin Guan was nowhere to be seen.

Yue Leng paused only briefly before looking to the right: “So you had such a thing. No wonder you could blend in all the way here. But it ends here, King Qin Guang!”

Yin Guan, having dispelled his cloak of invisibility, revealed his form, frowning. “How did you find me?”

He was not asking about the cloak, but how Yue Leng knew he was hiding in this caravan.

Jiang Wang thought that Yin Guan’s expression still had very good details, but compared to Chong Xuansheng’s acting skills, it was still a bit less smooth and lacked some authenticity.

But he said loudly, “I was the one who found you! What, the famous King Qin Guang, so rude? Hiding in my caravan without even saying hello?”

“You seek death!”

Yin Guan’s eyes hardened, and he turned directly, abandoning Yue Leng to attack Jiang Wang!

Before he arrived, the ferocious and ruthless power of the curse technique surged like a tidal wave.

He raised his fist, and the next moment, that fist entwined with green light slammed towards Jiang Wang’s face!

Jiang Wang hastily raised his finger to block, and a point of Samadhi True Fire detonated at the critical moment.

That point of Samadhi True Fire was directly blasted away.

Samadhi True Fire, which burns all things, could not reveal its characteristics before such powerful force.

Even conversely, the evil and venomous power of the curse technique was invading his body.

Jiang Wang coughed up blood as he was sent flying backwards!

A thought arose in his mind—

Motherfucker, does it need to be so realistic? This bastard doesn’t really want to take the opportunity to kill me, does he?

A hand supported him.

Yue Leng arrived in time, and with a light press of his hand, he dispelled the curse technique that had invaded his body in an instant.

In any case, Yue Leng could not watch Jiang Wang die before his eyes.

Whether as a Divine Catcher, the protection he should provide to the Blue Plaque Catchers below, or as an elder generation expert of Qi Country, the protection of the country’s young talents.

He stared intently at Yin Guan, feeling that this King Qin Guang of Hell Without Door was indeed fierce and peerless. Before him, he still wanted to kill someone.

Just this courage alone was far stronger than that King Tai Shan!

But what he did not know was that Yin Guan was more courageous than he imagined.

Even this meeting with him was, from beginning to end, designed by Yin Guan!

Outer Building against Divine Proximity!
