The struggle between the Dark Realm and the Dark Realm drew the attention of all cultivators across the Eastern Victory Continent, prompting various factions to take action. The Dark Realm and the Dark Realm were two colossal entities in the Eastern Victory Continent.
On one side was the dominant ruler of the earthly realm, wielding absolute power, while on the other was the only giant of the dark world. Although there were occasional frictions between them, they usually maintained a level of restraint. However, in situations like this, it only made the cultivators of the Eastern Victory Continent feel that a great upheaval was imminent.
While Yan Sui Fa was still recovering from her shock, Zuo Dao had already set off again with Zhao Yanwu and Chen Yang.
“Daozi, you’re incredible! How did you do that?” Zhao Yanwu looked at Zuo Dao with eyes full of admiration.
“You enjoyed the show; I’m about to collapse. This damned path is relentless,” Zuo Dao replied with a grin. “The pressure is no ordinary kind; it feels like I have a personal vendetta against it.”
Ever since he crossed over from the lower realm and faced his first tribulation, Zuo Dao felt a strange contradiction regarding this path. It was both inviting and repelling, and this feeling intensified upon reaching the Celestial Realm.
Listening to Zuo Dao's words, Chen Yang glanced anxiously at the sky above, fearing that a massive lightning bolt might come crashing down.
“Come on, you don’t need to react like that! It’s just casual; do you really need such a big reaction?” Zuo Dao looked at Chen Yang with irritation.
“Alright, stop complaining. Let’s take a break; you might need to step in later,” Zhao Yanwu said as he patted Zuo Dao on the shoulder in encouragement.
“Are you treating me like a lackey?” Zuo Dao looked at him with a face full of grievance.
“Don’t look at me like that; this is for your own good. The sooner we reach Liu Yue City, the sooner you’ll be free. I’m doing this for your benefit,” Zhao Yanwu said, now ruffling Zuo Dao's hair instead of just patting him.
When the rest of Yan Sui Fa's squad caught up, they were stunned by what they saw. Yan Sui Fa looked at her team members with a hint of emotion in her heart.
“I won’t say much more; I only ask that you all try to preserve yourselves in the upcoming battle. And if you can forget this scene before us, then do so,” she said, watching the airship depart. A thought crossed her mind: with that person by her side, she would surely be safe!
After sharing a few laughs, Zuo Dao began to focus on resting. His physical strength hadn’t been significantly depleted during the previous battle; rather, it was his mind that bore the brunt. He had to constantly maintain control over his emotions to ensure that his sudden bursts didn’t render his One-Handed Concealment ineffective.
The remaining journey was not long, and fortunately, the existence of the Teleportation Array prevented the Dark Realm from determining the true objective of Zuo Dao and his group, which significantly reduced the obstacles they faced. However, this reduction was relative; at least along the way to Fengming Town, it was still within the active range of assassins.
Due to the Dark Realm's influence, its members had been effectively sealed off in a closed environment, except for towns under their direct control.
When news of a complete annihilation of a Golden Punishment squad reached headquarters, the Dark Realm's members were furious. Although they had no shortage of personnel, there were only a few squads of Golden Punishment. Losing one was a significant blow, and they were all too happy to place the blame squarely on the Dark Realm.
Upon receiving this news, the Dark Realm was initially shocked but quickly suppressed the information. Since it was their own doing, they would take responsibility. This also alleviated some pressure on Zhao Yanwu. If the Dark Realm's members had known that their target possessed such formidable abilities, they would have spared no expense to eliminate them.
The destruction of a Golden Punishment squad not only escalated the situation but also exposed Zuo Dao and his group's whereabouts. A vast net was cast over their path; wherever they might appear, both the Dark Realm and its members made corresponding preparations and arrangements.
However, those involved were unaware of this; even Yan Sui Fa had not received any notification. The group continued to charge forward recklessly toward Fengming Town.
"Kill them. Not a single one can escape! Summon reinforcements; even if we have to grind them down, we will make sure they die. Damn it, how dare they chase after the Array Princess? Don't they know how to write 'death'?" shouted one of the Dark Realm's members.
Zhao Yanwu had excellent relationships within the Dark Realm; very few were unaware of her existence—except for her true identity. This led to chaos when orders were issued upon discovering that their target was none other than their Array Princess.
At that moment, the Dark Realm realized how absurd this mission was; even if any random member from their ranks had been targeted, it would not have caused such a massive uproar.
This time, however, the Dark Realm was unusually resolute. They offered no chance for negotiation and did not respond with words; they simply launched an attack.
The Dark Realm found themselves in a predicament from which there was no turning back; abandoning this mission was out of the question. Not only did it involve the entire Eastern Victory Continent, but it also drew attention from all four seas as conflict erupted.
"This mission must be completed! No matter what price we have to pay afterward, you must bring this mission to an end. And capture everyone related to this mission," declared a voice from within the Dark Realm. Though lacking confidence, one thing was certain: Zhao Yanwu had to die.
At this point, Zuo Dao had lost even the strength to speak. In just a short distance of several thousand miles, he had encountered no less than six ambushes—each more frenzied and powerful than the last. The effectiveness of One-Handed Concealment began to wane noticeably; he could even feel those piercing gazes that made his head throb painfully.
Aside from Zhao Yanwu, who still maintained her full strength, Chen Yang was covered in injuries. At this moment, Yan Sui Fa had already joined forces with Zuo Dao and the others, but the previously intact Squad was now nearly depleted.
"What is Dark Realm doing? Why is this operation so slow?" Yan Sui Fa looked at the dwindling number of his subordinates, feeling a sense of frustration.
He understood that there were internal conflicts within Dark Realm, but it was unacceptable for things to fall apart at such a critical juncture. What he didn't realize was that most of the Squads from Dark Realm had been held up by their own people.
As a unique entity in Celestial Realm, Dark Realm had a significant flaw in its personnel allocation. In terms of numbers, they couldn't compare to Dark Realm's Squads. Although they could mobilize local forces this time, it required cooperation from those involved. Moreover, Dark Realm had complex relationships with various factions, which resulted in Zuo Dao and his companions facing continuous ambushes while Dark Realm's reinforcements failed to arrive.
Fengming Town had appeared on the horizon, and Zuo Dao and the others were once again ambushed. After losing three teams of Golden Punishment, Dark Realm had realized the extraordinary combat power of the few individuals before them.
This time, there were simply two teams of Golden Punishment. An ambush was no longer possible; one team had already been trapped and annihilated by Zuo Dao and his companions using formations during a previous ambush, which was how Zuo Dao became exposed.
When reinforcements arrived, they found mounds of earth scattered across the flat ground. Upon digging them up, they discovered numerous corpses inside. Among them was the only survivor, the Squad leader, who succumbed after struggling to recount the events.
After the news spread back, Zuo Dao became synonymous with death within Dark Realm. No one knew where his limits lay. Meanwhile, Dark Realm launched a major offensive to seize Fengming Town and deployed heavy troops. The first line of defense was two groups of Golden Punishment Squads.
Xing Yuan and Xing Yi watched the slightly fatigued figure ahead as if facing a formidable enemy. This person had caused countless deaths among their peers and had repeatedly led the target to escape.
Not only was Zuo Dao exhausted; Chen Yang, Yan Sui Fa, and others were equally worn out. The high-intensity march and intense battles took their toll—what did it matter if they were immortals?
Several times Zhao Yanwu urged them to promise her safety because she knew that what the enemy wanted was only her. However, each time she was ruthlessly suppressed by Zuo Dao, who even bound her within the ship. Zuo Dao made it clear that even if he died, he would ensure her safety—not just for her sake but also for Zhao Elder.
Everyone on Wangfeng Platform had remained in Zhao Wang Village under Zhao Elder's care, which gave him peace of mind. Even if he were to perish, Zuo Dao knew those people would undoubtedly turn Celestial Realm upside down for revenge against him; besides, killing him wouldn't be so easy.
"Step aside; I will pretend you never existed. Otherwise, die," Zuo Dao said without wasting words as he stepped forward toward them. Chen Yang and Yan Sui Fa flanked him on either side as they guarded the Airship, with the remaining surviving members of the Squad forming a protective line behind them.
In front of him, the two members of the Squad, Zuo Dao showed no signs of panic or fear. His steps were steady, each one creating ripples in the air, blossoming into beautiful flowers.
Step by step, he ascended like a lotus.
This was also something Zuo Dao had to do; these lotuses were his way out, a lifeline he left for those behind him.
Xing Yuan and Xing Yi were shrouded in black robes with golden edges, making it impossible to discern any unusual features. Although they also possessed the Fire Extinguishing Strike, by the time they arrived, their opponent had already appeared right before them. Just as they were preparing themselves, the enemy had already breached into the attack range of the Fire Extinguishing Strike.
Whether hidden in the void or merging with shadows, the assassins from Dark Realm were sweating profusely. Despite some concealment from Dark Realm, the annihilation of the Golden Execution Squad was no secret within Golden Punishment.
"You have your obsessions; we have our glory. The Golden Punishment has failed too many times," Xing Yuan said, looking at the calm Zuo Dao. "The path is yours to walk."
Zuo Dao clenched his fists. "Fine, anyway, ahead lies Fengming Town. Whether I want to fight or not, a battle is inevitable. And if we are to fight, it must be quick; if I wait until you finish your arrangements in Fengming Town, I truly don't know if I'll make it out alive."
With a punch thrown, peach blossoms followed in its wake, stunningly directed at Xing Yuan. Meanwhile, Xing Yi seized the opportunity while Zuo Dao attacked Xing Yuan and charged toward the Airship. This was part of their prior agreement; they had only one target and saw no need to clash head-on with Zuo Dao.
"Do you think I'll let you pass?" Zuo Dao roared angrily.
"Eight Directions Inferno, Annihilate! Give me destruction!"
