System: After the fortune telling, my cultivation level skyrocketed.

"Hmph!" Qianhe snorted coldly, impatiently and frantically pouring a large amount of Purple Mansion Spiritual Energy into the Holy Light Sky-Escape Shuttle. His eyes were full of determination and madness, as if he had placed all his hopes on this treasure.

Seeing a glimmer of hope, the others' previously despairing faces flushed red, and their eyes gleamed with excitement.

At this moment, they no longer cared about the two fellow disciples who had been thrown out to their deaths. They gritted their teeth and poured all their spiritual energy into the Holy Light Sky Shuttle.

In an instant, the spiritual energy around everyone surged wildly, forming vortexes of spiritual power that converged towards the Holy Light Sky-Escape Shuttle.

Truly strong and confident people don't bother to look back and pay attention to things like explosions behind them.

However, as soon as the Holy Light Sky Shuttle was taken out, Chen Xuan immediately sensed a powerful aura trying to break free of its restraints and becoming uncontrollable through the Void Locking Array he had set up.

Chen Xuan glanced back and, seeing the remaining people frantically pouring spiritual energy into the Holy Light Shuttle, a slight smile appeared on his lips as he murmured with interest, "Is it a treasure that can break through the void and escape?"

"Although I don't need it, this treasure is quite valuable." Chen Xuan secretly assessed the value of the Holy Light Shuttle.

Of course, his renewed move was not simply out of covetousness for the treasure, but because he absolutely did not want these disciples of the Holy Land to slip away from him by virtue of their sect's resources.

"If I hadn't mastered the Great Dao of Space, you might have actually escaped with this treasure." Chen Xuan thought to himself, then formed a sword finger and moved his mind.

In an instant, the surrounding space seemed to be squeezed by a pair of invisible giant hands, and the originally flat space became twisted and wrinkled.

The Holy Light Shuttle, which had been violently shaking and trying to break free from the Void Locking Array, immediately stopped trembling and became quiet under the dual suppression of the Space Dao and the Void Locking Array, as if it had been frozen in place.

"What?" Senior Brother Qianhe stared at the Sky Shuttle, which was about to unleash its power and break through the void, suddenly fall silent. His face turned deathly pale, and his eyes were filled with fear and resentment.

"Since two sword strikes aren't enough, how about two more?" Chen Xuan's heart tightened, and with a swift movement, he unleashed two consecutive sword strikes.

Swish, swish, swish.

Two more Dragon Roar Demon-Slaying Swords, carrying chilling sword energy and powerful lightning, roared towards Qianhe and the others. The sword light ripped through the sky, tearing the air apart and emitting a sharp whistling sound.

This scene unfolded in the blink of an eye.

Upon witnessing this scene, Senior Brother Qianhe's eyes instantly turned bloodshot, and he glared fiercely at Chen Xuan, roaring, "Do you truly intend to kill us all?!"

"Just ants." Chen Xuan's expression was indifferent, his tone icy, as if he were talking about something trivial.

"Fine, fine, I, Qianhe, will remember this grudge! You just wait!" Senior Brother Qianhe seemed to have been driven to the brink, roaring madly. Then, he spat out a mouthful of blood essence into the Holy Light Shuttle.

The moment the essence blood spurted out, it transformed into a streak of blood light and merged into the Holy Light Shuttle.

Immediately afterwards, the Holy Light Shuttle, which had been suppressed, trembled violently again, and the runes on the shuttle shone brightly, as if it was struggling desperately to break through the many restraints.

At the same time, due to the fierce resistance, shocking cracks appeared all over the Holy Light Shuttle. Each crack indicated that this treasure was under tremendous pressure and was on the verge of collapse.

"You're forcing me to destroy this treasure! You just wait, you just wait!" Senior Brother Qianhe roared madly as he continued to pour power into the Holy Light Shuttle.

"A blood sacrifice to overdraw the treasure's original limit? To use this to push it beyond the treasure's own limits and forcibly break through the void?" Chen Xuan squinted at the crazed Qian He, pondering to himself.

Although he really wanted to keep this person, this treasure had an extraordinary origin and contained powerful energy, so he couldn't stop it immediately.

brush--

A streak of blood-red light enveloped Qianhe and her companion, instantly breaking free from the surrounding pressure and the power of the Void-Locking Array. With a whoosh, they vanished from the area like a shooting star.

Its speed was extremely fast, even faster than Chen Xuan's current full-force movement technique.

In the blink of an eye, it disappeared from everyone's sight, and then vanished completely.

Seeing a streak of blood disappear into the distance, actually breaking free from the suppression of the Void Locking Formation, the remaining five disciples of the Holy Land instantly turned red in the face, their eyes filled with anger and resentment, and they all cursed Qian He.

"Qianhe, you have harmed your fellow disciples and abandoned us!"

"You despicable person, Qianhe, you scoundrel!!!"

……

Qianhe was able to escape thanks to the treasure bestowed upon her by her powerful backer, but the remaining five disciples of the Holy Land were in a much worse situation.

Chen Xuan glanced deeply at Qian He, who had fled into the distance, and then coldly swept his gaze across the five people below. His gaze was so intense that it seemed to cut across their faces like a knife.

"What...what exactly do you want?" a disciple of the Holy Land asked tremblingly, his voice shaking noticeably.

“We can offer you sufficient compensation to make up for your losses... Fellow Daoist, what do you say?” Another disciple tried to tempt Chen Xuan with benefits, his eyes full of pleading.

"Fellow Daoist, we were also bewitched by Qianhe and had no choice but to attack you..." Another disciple began to defend himself, trying to lessen his guilt.

……

Chen Xuan looked at the five disciples of the Holy Land who were filled with fear, and smiled coldly. His smile was like the frost of winter, devoid of any warmth. He said, "Now that I have won, you say such things?"

Chen Xuan stood tall and straight like a pine tree, coldly surveying the five people as he looked down. He continued, "If I had been even a moment later in seclusion, my spirit beast, my Daoist companion, and my servants would probably all be dead."

Clearly, the two sides have formed an irreconcilable feud, and there is no room for negotiation.

The five disciples of the Holy Land naturally understood that there was no room for maneuver in the situation.

"You killed us, you'll face the Holy Land's revenge!" a disciple threatened, his words sounding fierce but his heart filled with fear.

"Fellow Daoist, please spare our lives. If you need anything, I, Lingyun, will do as you please." A pretty woman looked at Chen Xuandao with eyes full of fear and pleading.

……

Chen Xuan frowned and interrupted everyone without hesitation, coldly saying, "You can disintegrate yourselves. At least your souls can be reincarnated. If I take action, your fate will be nothing but annihilation."

Chen Xuan's voice was cold and ruthless, as if it were a pronouncement from the deepest hell.

As Chen Xuan uttered these cold words, the five people's original idea of ​​activating multiple forbidden techniques and fighting to the death was instantly extinguished as if doused with a bucket of cold water and suppressed.

They knew in their hearts that once one's cultivation reached the Myriad Manifestations Realm, there were plenty of ways to imprison a soul.

For mortals, the annihilation of their soul may be as difficult as ascending to heaven, but for cultivators, it is merely a matter of time.

"What a pity... I finally managed to join the Holy Land, and I was hoping to gain great opportunities by following Qianhe during this training, hahaha!" A disciple laughed bitterly, his voice full of regret and resentment.

"I am not reconciled. My family has devoted all their efforts to nurturing me so that I could enter the Holy Land. I have not yet become famous in the Demon Spirit Sea..." Another disciple was in tears, crying bitterly.

"Junior brothers and sisters...follow me to my death!" Finally, a disciple shouted with a tragic expression.
