Yūn Hào took Xià Xuān and, at the fastest speed possible, left the county town.

His current state must be dealt with as soon as possible. Otherwise, the death energy surge will shock the cycle of life and death, causing the entire wheel of life and death to spin out of control and shatter. Then, deathly qi will permeate his whole body. Even a powerful high-level spiritual being with robust vitality will not be able to withstand the erosion of such overwhelming death energy.

Only after traveling thousands of miles away from that county town did Yun Hao finally stop.

At this moment, his skin all over his body had lost its rosy complexion and turned a ghastly gray-white.

Deathly energy began to seep from the Netherwheel, spreading throughout his body.

The surroundings were a valley of mountains, the terrain treacherous. Yun Hao immediately got to work, setting up an array within this valley.

He had prepared two lower-grade Huanhai Zhuxin formations. One of them had been used during the alchemy camp, leaving only one remaining. This last formation was now set up in the valley.

Then, Yunhao layered another Seven Kills Chain Array and a Xuan-Rank top-grade array that concealed his aura within the Huan Hai Zhuxin Formation.

"Xiaxuan, how much of the formation diagram for the Phantom Sea Heart Punishing Array do you understand now?" Yun Hao asked.

Xia Xuan bit her lip and nodded. "Rest assured, sir, I'll take care of the formation. I'm confident I can control the Phantom Sea Heart-Piercing Array."

Yun Hao let out an affirmative hum, then handed the golden Demon-Subduing Armor to Xia Xuan, saying, "Put on this Demon-Subduing Armor, and with your physique, control the Illusory Sea Heartbreaking Array. Ordinary Transcending Mortal Realm cultivators will be helpless against you!"

Xia Xuan hurriedly pushed the golden镇魔甲 back to Yun Hao, saying, "Young master, put on this armor..."

Yun Hao shook his head and said, "I'm going to meditate and regulate my breath next to deal with the death energy in my body. Wearing armor wouldn't make a difference."

Xia Xuan then took the armor and put it on.

Yun Hao was about to enter a cave in the formation array to go into seclusion when he suddenly remembered something else. In an instant, a crisp sound of sword cries rang out.

The divine weapon of the ancient Xia Kingdom, the Chi Cang Sword, shot out and pierced the ground in front of Xia Xuan.

"The sword spirit of the Azure Crimson Blade, I've nurtured it for you. Though it hasn't fully recovered, it can be used."

After finishing his words, Yun Hao immediately entered the mountain cave.

Xia Xuan looked at the crimson sword before him.

She gripped the hilt of her sword, silent.

Clad in golden armor and wielding the Dàxià Zhèn Guó Divine Weapon, she was no longer a young girl. A sense of imperial presence emanated from her, making her appear as a majestic empress, brimming with vigor and grace!

She took a deep breath, activating the Heaven-Yin Nine Illusions Technique, drawing upon her innate bewitching power. She then used this power to indirectly control the Illusory Ocean Heart-Punishing Formation.

It is precisely this formation that suits her physique. With any other formation, let alone a low-grade Earth rank one, even a low-grade Profound rank one would be beyond her control if she didn't understand formations.

Inside the cave.

Yun Hao immediately sat cross-legged, his mind sinking into his dantian. He circulated the Wheel of Life and Death, completely sealing off the Dead Wheel to prevent the death energy from continuing to dissipate.

Now, the dead qi borne by the physical body has reached a critical point and can't bear any more.

After sealing the Wheel of Death, the death energy no longer spread outward, but the impact of the death energy on the Wheel became more violent, causing the entire cycle of life and death to tremble, as if it were about to shatter.

Yun Hao gritted his teeth, exerting all his strength to activate the Tai Chu Creation Technique, refining the death Qi!

One day has passed.

Yun Hao's skin, which had been gray-white due to the invasion of death energy, finally dissipated. However, the death energy within the Death Wheel was still extremely violent.

>Another two days have passed.

The death qi within the dead wheel has finally stabilized a great deal, but Yun Hao cannot still relax. Otherwise, the remaining unrefined death qi will inevitably run rampant again.

Only by refining everything can hidden dangers be eliminated!

"

"Report!"

Armory, Command Camp.

A Wudang Mountain demon-subduing master rushed to the front of Yan Quan, Ou Yang Zhao, Liu Qing, and Zhang Tao.

The expressions on everyone's faces were extremely grim.

The Wǔ Diàn army's medicine supply has been cut off for several days!

Although each demon-subduing guard carries their own prepared pills, after several days of intense battles, most of the demon-subduing guards' self-prepared pills have also been nearly consumed.

The battlefield was brutal and merciless.

Without a continued supply of the elixir, it's easy to imagine how difficult the situation must be for all the warriors of the Martial Hall Demon Suppression Army in Wudian Town.

Yan Quan looked at the demon-suppressing envoy who came to report, and said, “Speak!”

The Demon Slayer said: "Deputy Hall Master, three Hall Masters, the people from the Pill Refining Camp, have found a portion. They returned with the Lone Blade Squad."

Suddenly.

Yan Quan, Zhang Tao and several others rushed out of the command tent in an instant, appearing before the members of the Lone Blade Squad and a group of alchemists.

"Where's Yunhao?!"

Zhang Tao didn't notice Yun Hao and immediately shouted.

Xiao Ye stepped forward and said, "Reporting to the Hall Master, a few days ago, Tang Han suddenly took away over four hundred alchemists under the pretext of receiving a transfer order. He left us to guard the original location of the alchemy camp."

But before the day was over, they were gone.

The demon clan has arrived!

Thanks to Yun Hao's powerful formation, we were able to escape unharmed.

The Demon Clan captured Xiaxuan, and Yunhao left alone to pursue and rescue her. We...we searched for several days but couldn't find any trace of Yunhao!

As soon as these words were spoken, Zhang Tao's face changed drastically.

And Yan Quan and others also realized the problem.

Zhang Tao looked at Yan Quan: "Tang Han just moved with his men, and the demons followed right behind. This is too much of a coincidence, isn't it? Deputy Hall Master Yan, did you give the order for Tang Han to relocate?"

Although Tang Han was under Yan Quan's command, even Yan Quan didn't have the guts to cover this up. He shook his head and said, "I never issued a transfer order."

"It's possible that Tang Dan Master found something amiss, so he thought of dispersing the power of the alchemy camp. This way, even if there was danger, it could prevent the entire alchemy camp from being wiped out."

Now, Master Tang and a large group of alchemists have transferred and haven't returned. They probably encountered trouble. We need to organize people as soon as possible to conduct a search and rescue operation. Finding Master Tang will allow our army's supply of medicinal pills to be restored, and we can also uncover the truth.

Liu Qing followed up, "Master Tang left a group of people at the original camp. He didn't intend to harm them, after all, he himself wasn't sure if there was danger or not. Besides, leaving a group at the original camp was also to maintain contact with us."

Zhang Tao's eyes were cold and sharp as he looked at Ou Yang Zhao and Liu Qing.

Liu Qingdao: “Zhang Tangzhu, I know you are in a very bad mood right now. Your Guangming Hall’s deputy hall master Tian Buhui is now missing, and such a good seedling Yunhao has also disappeared. But you have to stay calm and not take your anger out on others.”

Ou Yang Zhao also said: "Yun Hao even went to the battlefield, he didn't forget to bring his female companions. His mind was only filled with pleasure and because of those women, he put himself in danger. If there is blame to be placed, it can only be laid at his own feet."

"What did you say?!" Zhang Tao glared at Ou Yang Zhao, his voice filled with anger.

Ouyang Zhao shrank his neck and said, "Zhang Tao, I advise you to calm down!"

"I'll calm you down, you and your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Zhang Tao roared with rage, his figure suddenly shooting out like a rocket. He punched Ouyang Zhao in the chest, sending him flying backward.

Before Ou Yang Zhao's body could hit the ground, Zhang Tao's body surged forward again. With one hand outstretched, he grabbed Ou Yang Zhao's ankle and smashed it down hard, sending him crashing to the ground.

"Zhang Tao!" Liu Qing shouted, drawing his sword and charging forward.

"Get out!"

Zhang Tao roared, his right hand also grasped a long sword. The blade slashed down with a clang, Liu Qing's sword shattered into two pieces, and Liu Qing himself was sent flying!

Zhang Tao slashed Liu Qing with a single blow, then pivoted his blade, its edge landing on Ou Yang Zhao's neck.

This moment.

Only then did everyone truly realize how terrifying Zhang Tao's anger was.

Even though they were both hall masters, neither Ou Yang Zhao nor Liu Qing could withstand Zhang Tao's single move!

Even the deputy head, Yan Quan, felt his heart pounding. He was awestruck by the domineering power Zhang Tao had unleashed at this moment.

"Master Zhang, calm down!" Yanquan felt compelled to speak out.

Zhang Tao's knife,

Still hung around Ouyang Zhao's neck, he stared at the frightened Ouyang Zhao, his eyes were cold and ruthless, killing intent was heavy.

"If it weren't for Yun Hao's Sanxiao Dan, right now, on this entire battlefield, I don't know how many warriors from our Wudian would have already fallen in a pool of blood."

If it weren't for Yun Hao's formation, these remaining alchemists would have fallen victim to the demon clan's poison!

Yun Hao went to save people, but his whereabouts are unknown.

No matter who he rescues, they are all our human compatriots. There is nothing wrong with Yunhao's act of saving people.

I spare your life today not because of anyone's interference, but for the sake of the overall battlefield strategy.

Make sure you remember this, and don't let me hear anything like that again. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that next time my knife will stop before your neck!

After saying this.

Zhang Tao put away his knife,

Looked at Yan Quan.

Yan Quan's face was also grim. Just now, Zhang Tao said that he didn't kill Ou Yang Zhao because of anyone's interference. Obviously, he made it clear to Yan Quan that if he wanted to kill Ou Yang Zhao, even if Yan Quan, the deputy palace master, tried to stop him, it would be useless!

Yan Quan's voice was low and solemn, "Zhang Tangzhu, I understand that you were overcome with anger just now, but I hope this kind of thing won't happen again!"

Zhang Tao didn't respond to Yan Quan's words at all. Instead, he said: "Zhang Tao of Guangmingtang, challenge accepted!"

Yan Quan frowned and said, "Zhang, the headmaster, are you going to go into battle yourself?"

"Zhang Tao: 'The warriors of my Guangming Hall, the warriors of the entire Wuhui, are fighting to the death on the front lines. I, Zhang Tao, am truly ashamed to continue staying in this so-called command camp plotting strategies.'"

This sentence made Yan Quan feel extremely uncomfortable again.

Zhang Tao wanted to go to the front line, and Yan Quan was very happy about it. He had just witnessed Zhang Tao's true strength. If Zhang Tao continued to stay at the command camp, the pressure he would put on Yan Quan would be enormous.

"Right!" Yan Quan replied, falsely saying, "Master Zhang, the front line is dangerous. Please be careful."

Zhang Tao ignored Yan Quan completely, turned around, and looked at Xiao Ye, Qu Feng and the others, shouting: “All members of Guangming Tang's lone sword, can you still fight?”

Xiao Ye: "We can fight!"

Musical style: "Ready to fight!"

A throng of demon-slaying guards shouted in unison, "We are ready!"

Zhang Tao: "Then...charge!"

After saying that, Zhang Tao directly led the Guangmingtang Lone Blade Squad away.

After leaving the command camp, Zhang Tao said, "Field Deputy Hall Master's life and death are unknown, whereabouts unclear."

But I have grasped some of Yun Hao's clues.

A few days ago, he single-handedly almost wiped out thousands of elite demons in a county town occupied by the demon race. If we go to that county town, we should be able to find clues about Yun Hao!

When all the demon-hunting guards of Guren heard this news, they were shocked beyond belief.

Yun Hao, alone... he actually slaughtered so many elite demon clan members within the county town that was completely occupied by demons...

As for how Zhang Tao obtained the clues, no one asked.

Those familiar with Zhang Tao know that he is not an ordinary person.

Today, Zhang Tao exploded, suppressing the master of Feiyin Hall and the master of Kuangdao Hall. This is just the tip of the iceberg for Zhang Tao!
