The Eclosion of the Great Wilderness, with the long spear in hand, pointed forward like a coiling dragon. Instantly, the heavens and earth roared, and tens of thousands of people trembled, as if the earth was erupting with murderous intent. Countless demon cavalry in the night suddenly charged forward, storming towards Mo Hua.

“The royal court is attacking the camp!”

“The demon cavalry of the Great Wilderness are here!”

“Form ranks!”

“Kill!”

On the side of the Dao soldiers, a roar of battle also rose amidst the clamor.

In the darkness on the other side, the figure of Hua Zhenren, resplendent with light, also appeared, his face equally grim.

He had not expected the demon soldiers of the Great Wilderness royal court to dare to attack the camp.

And the Eclosion of the Great Wilderness even dared to appear before them so openly.

Seeing the vast number of demon cavalry charging from all directions, Zhuge Zhenren and Hua Zhenren exchanged glances. Without hesitation, they activated their movement techniques and retreated.

This was a second-grade mountain realm.

According to common rules, it was a forbidden zone for Eclosion.

Golden Core cultivators could suppress their cultivation and mingle in the second-grade mountain realm with Foundation Establishment strength.

But the power of Eclosion was too strong; no matter how much they suppressed it, it was difficult to precisely keep their cultivation at Foundation Establishment.

Small-scale battles might be risky, but in large-scale charges, if they accidentally used power above Foundation Establishment, even Eclosion cultivators would be annihilated by the tribulation lightning, their lifelong Dao cultivation returned to the heavens and earth.

This was the Dao of Heaven.

Under the laws of the Dao of Heaven, all beings were equal, and even Zhenren were no exception.

Neither Zhuge Zhenren nor Hua Zhenren dared to slaughter these barbarian soldiers of the royal court in the second-grade mountain realm.

Although in a fourth-grade mountain realm, they could utterly annihilate these Foundation Establishment barbarian soldiers with a flick of a finger.

But in a second-grade mountain realm, they could not kill them.

They could only retreat, back to the fourth-grade mountain realm.

At the same time, they faced another formidable enemy: the Eclosion of the Great Wilderness.

At this moment, the Eclosion of the Great Wilderness did not charge at them, but rode a fierce tiger directly towards the Dao Court’s stronghold in the fourth-grade mountain realm.

Zhuge Zhenren and Hua Zhenren also had to intercept this Eclosion of the Great Wilderness at the entrance of the fourth-grade mountain realm.

And engage in a battle to determine a victor.

Otherwise, if this Eclosion of the Great Wilderness, like a small giant, were allowed to rush into the Dao Court’s stronghold and slaughter at will, it would inevitably cause immense disaster.

This attack by the Great Wilderness royal court was an unexpected event.

Even Zhuge Zhenren only sensed a hint of its causal implications an incense stick’s time ago.

Therefore, they were forced to be led into the fourth-grade mountain realm by this Eclosion of the Great Wilderness.

They could no longer concern themselves with other matters.

Zhuge Zhenren looked into the night, seeing Mo Hua’s surprised expression, and felt worried.

But now, he couldn’t even care about Mo Hua.

Next was an Eclosion battle; Mo Hua following would be even more dangerous.

Under the current circumstances, he could only let the child fend for himself, hoping he was clever enough to avoid any mishaps… Zhuge Zhenren thought silently.

In the night, Mo Hua also saw Zhuge Zhenren’s complex gaze.

With his extraordinary understanding of the Great Heavenly Dao Array, Mo Hua instantly comprehended the situation, understood Zhuge Zhenren’s thoughts, and nodded earnestly at Zhuge Zhenren.

Zhuge Zhenren was startled, thinking:

“Damn it, this kid… could he really read minds? Can a person truly be this intelligent?”

However, it was good that Mo Hua understood, so Zhuge Zhenren said no more. He took one last look at Mo Hua, then activated a second-grade movement talisman and left the military camp, retreating towards the fourth-grade mountain realm.

Hua Zhenren’s face was grim; he had more important things to do, but under the current circumstances, he had no other choice.

Hua Zhenren crushed a jade slip, seemingly saying something.

Afterward, he no longer hesitated, activated a movement talisman, and, along with Zhuge Zhenren, rushed ahead to the fourth-grade Dao Court stronghold to contain the Eclosion of the Great Wilderness.

The situation changed too quickly.

Mo Hua hadn’t even had time to react. Not long after, a bloody killing intent assailed him, and the royal court demon soldiers from afar had already arrived nearby.

Mo Hua’s heart skipped a beat: “Senior Brother Xiao!”

With the situation in chaos, Senior Brother Xiao was definitely in danger.

Mo Hua quickly rushed to the Qintian Jian prison, relying on his memory.

Earlier, Zhuge Zhenren had “led the wolf into the house,” taking Mo Hua through the prison.

With Mo Hua’s heaven-defying divine sense and array mastery, he had memorized the prison’s layout, arrays, guards, and locks one by one.

Mo Hua had been contemplating this prison for the past few days.

Now that Zhuge Zhenren and Hua Zhenren were gone, Mo Hua was truly in his element, without any more reservations.

Mo Hua stealthily entered the Qintian Jian prison.

The prison’s arrays were unlocked by Mo Hua one by one.

The hidden guards were also taken down by the invisible Mo Hua one by one.

Some were stunned by spells, some were sealed by arrays, and some with stronger cultivation were quietly glanced at by Mo Hua with the Jingshen Sword and then fell unconscious…

These were all done by Mo Hua while invisible. From the outside, it looked as if the prison had been visited by a “ghost.”

Bai Zisheng noticed the commotion and opened his eyes, seeing the scene before him, his pupils contracting.

His cultivation was high, his strength great, and his intuition sharp. He quickly sensed that an invisible “ghost” seemed to have invaded his cell door in a few blinks of an eye.

Before the cell door was the Seven Stars Array Lock personally set by that Zhenren of the Qintian Jian.

At this moment, mysterious lights also shone on the Seven Stars Array Lock.

It seemed someone was attempting to decipher the array.

Seven-star type arrays were profound arrays monopolized by the Dao Court, incredibly intricate and never passed on.

This invisible “ghost” did not seem to be proficient, as the light on the Seven Stars Array flickered on and off, uncertain, occasionally even sparking, clearly indicating failed attempts.

But this “ghost” did not give up. Its movements became more and more focused, and the chaotic, flickering lights on the Seven Stars Array Lock gradually became continuous and stable.

After an unknown period, as a complete and mysterious star pattern flashed by, the Seven Stars Array was instantly deciphered, the lock fell to the ground, and the cell door opened. From the void, a figure appeared, with clear, handsome features – it was Mo Hua.

“Xiao…”

Bai Zisheng’s eyes lit up, his chest trembled, and he was about to say something.

“Shh…” Mo Hua quickly made a silencing gesture and whispered, “Zhuge Zhenren’s array, I can solve, but Hua family’s Dragon Lock, I still can’t. You…”

Mo Hua hadn’t finished speaking when his expression suddenly froze, his face slightly sinking.

Not long after, Bai Zisheng also realized something, his gaze turning cold.

“Someone’s coming?”

Mo Hua nodded, “Senior Brother Xiao, be careful.” With that, his figure gradually faded and disappeared again.

Bai Zisheng looked around, finding no trace, and couldn’t help but sigh, marveling at how his junior brother’s stealth technique had become even more miraculous.

Bai Zisheng then looked outside the cell door.

Sure enough, in a short while, seven or eight black-clad figures appeared in his sight.

These black-clad figures had profound cultivation, all at the peak of Foundation Establishment, and their gazes were cold, their killing intent chilling.

Seeing the cell door open and the guards unconscious, these black-clad figures were startled, but then seeing Bai Zisheng, their eyes instantly blazed with killing intent.

Seven or eight black-clad assassins transformed into black light and charged at Bai Zisheng.

Bai Zisheng’s gaze deepened.

He was still bound by the nine Heavy Dragon Locks.

Mo Hua also frowned. He hadn’t finished weaving a straw dog, so he couldn’t kill. He could only use spells or the Tai Xu Divine Sense Sword Art to “strong-control” these assassins.

But just as Mo Hua’s gaze condensed, preparing to act, his expression suddenly froze again, and he stopped.

The situation before him had undergone a sudden change.

The four black-clad assassins charging at the front were suddenly struck from behind by the four behind them.

Amidst splashing blood, the four black-clad assassins were immediately wounded and fell heavily to the ground, turning around to curse: “You…”

But before they could finish their curse, the other four black-clad figures, with a flurry of blades, sent them to their deaths.

Mo Hua was somewhat stunned.

Bai Zisheng also frowned slightly.

Just then, a light rustling of footsteps sounded, and a graceful woman in a golden and jade-embroidered robe elegantly walked in.

With a beautiful face, her fair chin slightly raised, her eyes carried a hint of arrogance.

It was Hua Ping.

Hua Ping’s eyes glided around, surveying the surroundings. Seeing that the arrays, door locks, and guards inside the prison had all been dealt with, she was somewhat surprised.

“You have quite some skill, being imprisoned by the Qintian Jian, yet you still have means of self-rescue?” Hua Ping said in a clear voice, looking at Bai Zisheng.

Bai Zisheng frowned, “What do you want to do?”

Hua Ping’s fair fingers slightly curled, tapping a few times, sending out several golden threads directly towards Bai Zisheng.

Mo Hua, hidden in the shadows, had intended to raise his hand to intercept, but after looking at the trajectory of the golden threads, he lowered his hand.

The golden threads Hua Ping cast landed on Bai Zisheng’s nine Heavy Dragon Locks.

At the tips of the golden threads, the shape of golden needles emerged.

These golden needles embedded themselves in the joints of the heavy locks. Amidst the flashing golden light, they transformed into liquid gold, seeping into the Heavy Dragon Locks.

Golden light flashed within the Heavy Dragon Locks, and with faint creaking sounds, the entire heavy lock was disassembled.

Then, with a flash of light, the heavy lock fell to the ground.

Bai Zisheng’s limbs were freed. He flexed his wrists, looked up at Hua Ping, and asked in a deep voice:

“Why did you save me?”

Hua Ping smiled charmingly, not answering, but simply said, “You just need to remember that I saved your life.”

With that, she clasped her hands behind her back and walked out of the prison.

After a few steps, she turned back, narrowed her eyes, and stared at a corner of Bai Zisheng’s cell.

It was empty, with nothing there.

Hua Ping frowned, feeling somewhat puzzled, but after looking for a long time, she still saw nothing.

She shook her head and turned to leave.

The black-clad men who had attacked their companions also carefully escorted Hua Ping out of the prison.

Inside the prison, only Bai Zisheng remained.

From the silence, Mo Hua’s voice came: “Let’s go.”

Bai Zisheng no longer hesitated. Though still scarred and wounded, his resilient bloodline still granted him powerful stamina.

Bai Zisheng’s figure flashed, stepping over the corpses on the ground, and left the prison. Before leaving, he casually grabbed and drew to him a long spear.

Outside the prison, shouts of battle filled the air.

The barbarian soldiers of the Great Wilderness royal court had already reached the military camp.

Ferocious demon cavalry, the Dao Court’s army, and a host of talented cultivators clashed together, fires erupting everywhere, killing intent boiling.

Several royal court demon cavalry charged at Bai Zisheng, who backhanded one with his spear, killing it, and with a casual flick, sent the body flying far away.

But he was still gravely injured; one spear could only kill one.

For the charge of the other two demon cavalry, he was temporarily unable to defend.

Just then, a blue light flashed, and the Water Prison Technique descended, trapping the other two royal court demon cavalry in place.

Bai Zisheng was startled, then without hesitation, his spear surged like a dragon, and with a man and a spear, he killed the other two demon cavalry as well.

“This way…”

A familiar voice said from the darkness.

“Junior Brother Xiao.”

Bai Zisheng could not see Mo Hua’s figure, but he knew that at this moment, his junior brother was protecting him, and he felt an unprecedented sense of security.

“Good.”

Bai Zisheng nodded, then followed the guidance of the voice and fled forward.

The other demon cavalry, seeing Bai Zisheng kill one with a spear, as brave as no human, were all struck with fear and dared not pursue.

Not long after Bai Zisheng left, he encountered several other Dao Court prodigies.

These prodigies were fighting the royal court’s cavalry, and seeing Bai Zisheng, their expressions all changed in surprise:

“Bai Zisheng!”

“He escaped!”

“Quick, catch him!”

But with the royal court cavalry storming the camp, the situation was in chaos. These prodigies had to protect themselves amidst the battle, and also quickly form formations to defend the camp. They were preoccupied and couldn’t spare a hand to capture Bai Zisheng.

Moreover, the residual might of Bai Zisheng, who had unleashed his Dragon Blood Xuanhuang form and was invincible in the previous battle, still lingered.

These prodigies dared not engage Bai Zisheng alone.

Occasionally, a few daring ones charged forward, only to be fixed by Mo Hua’s spells and repelled by Bai Zisheng’s spear.

And the barbarian soldiers of the Great Wilderness royal court charging forward were growing in number.

Soon, everyone was preoccupied.

These prodigies could only watch as Bai Zisheng, alone with his spear, departed solitary, disappearing into the chaos of battle.

After leaving the military camp, Mo Hua continued to guide Bai Zisheng.

His original intention was to go to the fourth-grade mountain realm, to find Zhuge Zhenren, and Senior Brothers Huangfu and Shangguan for protection.

Although this wasn’t the best solution, it was the only one available.

But after walking for a while, he suddenly saw a towering light in the distant sky, as if a Zhenren had descended.

The roar of dragons shook the earth, brilliant light filled the horizon, and mysterious starlight illuminated the night like day.

This was a battle of Eclosion Zhenren.

The Eclosion of the Great Wilderness, Hua Zhenren, and Zhuge Zhenren seemed to have finally found a place and were unleashing their Eclosion power, engaging in high-level combat.

The destructive power shook heaven and earth, and powerful fluctuations spread from who knows how far away, giving Mo Hua an inexplicable feeling of dread.

Even Bai Zisheng’s eyes trembled.

Low-level cultivators couldn’t touch an Eclosion battle at all.

Mo Hua’s heart chilled, and he immediately said to Bai Zisheng: “Senior Brother Xiao, go the other way.”

“Hmm,” Bai Zisheng nodded, then used his long spear to open a path, carving out a way through the surging barbarian soldiers.

Mo Hua, invisible behind Bai Zisheng, provided support with spells and divine sense techniques.

The two senior and junior brothers, one visible and one hidden, one attacking and one defending, cooperated to carve a bloody path out of the chaotic battle and escaped into the distance…

On the other side, the beautiful Hua Ping boarded a carriage.

The interior of the carriage was exquisite, its exterior covered in sturdy steel, pulled by eight magnificent steeds, and escorted by an extremely elite squad of Dao soldiers.

This elite Dao soldier squad protected the carriage, galloping into the distance amidst the chaos of battle.

All barbarian soldiers along the way were cut down by the Dao soldiers’ spears and halberds, blood and flesh flying.

Night, steel, demon cavalry, slaughter, and blood were all kept outside the carriage.

Inside the carriage, it was lightly luxurious, elegant, peaceful, and quiet.

Hua Ping sat in the carriage, resting her chin on her hand, lost in thought. Her beautiful face, illuminated by candlelight, glowed with a faint aura.

A moment later, she took out a piece of embroidered jiao silk from her sleeve. Her eyes hazy, a smile played on her lips as she murmured:

“I saved your elder brother… you must remember my kindness to you…”

On the jiao silk, an aloof white-gold phoenix was embroidered.
