“Act quickly!”

Among the four gray figures, the leading gray skeleton’s eyes flashed with fire as it spoke in a hoarse voice.

As it spoke, a white bone staff appeared in its hand with a flash of gray light. With a wave, a gray rainbow shot out, entangling the four black lightning bolts released by Shi Chuan Kong.

The black lightning, exuding astonishing thunder and lightning laws, scattered rapidly like melting snow under the scorching sun upon touching the gray light, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

However, correspondingly, most of the gray rainbow also dissipated.

Seeing this scene, Shi Chuan Kong finally showed a look of surprise. He reached out, embraced Feng Lin, and transformed into a purple light, fleeing into the distance.

“Bind.”

The gray skeleton uttered in a low voice, waving the staff in its hand, and the remaining gray rainbow shot out.

The other three also shouted in unison. The gray-armored youth thrust his spear into the void, and a thick, dragon-shaped gray light shot from the tip.

A gray light flashed in the fair maiden’s hand, and a gray long whip appeared. A thick gray whip shadow shot out.

The gray-robed elder chanted something, not offering any magical treasure. Instead, he opened his mouth and spat out a long gray light.

The four gray lights intertwined quickly, condensing into a gray net in the blink of an eye. It flashed and caught up with Shi Chuan Kong and Feng Lin.

A layer of faint gray flames floated on the net, descending like lightning towards Shi Chuan Kong and Feng Lin.

Shi Chuan Kong’s expression changed. He opened his mouth and spat out a ball of black light, then pinched his fingers and pointed.

With a sharp “buzz,” the black light transformed into a black short halberd, shooting upward.

The halberd gleamed with a dark, eerie light. A ferocious dragon head pattern was engraved on its front end, exuding an awe-inspiring demonic aura.

"Chop!" A stern look appeared on his face as he flicked his wrist.

The black short halberd immediately emitted a shrill screech, its surface black light intensified greatly, blurring into a hundred-zhang-sized black giant halberd.

The black giant halberd radiated countless black lights, especially the dragon head pattern, which flickered constantly, almost reviving and emitting the roar of ten thousand dragons.

The giant halberd erupted with earth-shattering power. Wherever it passed, the void was easily cut open with a long crack, slamming heavily onto the gray net.

With a muffled thud, the gray net only trembled slightly before easily blocking the strike.

However, its downward momentum also faltered.

"What!"

Shi Chuan Kong was shocked, clearly not expecting that his treasured Demonic Dragon Halberd, renowned even in the Demon Realm, could not break through the other party's gray net.

At this moment, the gray skeleton waved the staff in its hand, shooting out a gray flame that entered the gray net.

The gray net immediately emitted a "sizzling" sound, the gray flames on it immediately intensified, then transformed into thin gray flames, wrapping around the black giant halberd.

The giant black halberd's massive form rapidly dissipated and shrunk, transforming back into a black short halberd in the blink of an eye. It was entangled by the gray flames, unable to move.

The demonic light on the short halberd also dissipated quickly, as if it were being corroded. The dragon head pattern emitted a miserable scream.

After a slight tremor, the gray net continued its descent.

Seeing this scene, Shi Chuan Kong gritted his teeth and activated a secret art.

The black short halberd suddenly burst forth with dazzling black light, followed by a deafening “boom,” directly exploding.

A massive black light cluster appeared out of thin air, then expanded wildly, with black dragon shadows flying out from it, rushing in all directions.

The void twisted violently, revealing dense white cracks that flickered in and out, with faint spatial storms seeping out, forming a silver-gray gale that ravaged the surroundings.

The gray net was struck by the black dragon shadows and silver gales, immediately stopping its descent and being blown away.

The black short halberd’s self-destruction was extremely terrifying. Many black dragon shadows and silver gales broke through the gray net, slamming heavily into the four gray immortals.

The gray skeleton had continuously used secret techniques, appearing somewhat exhausted, its surface gray light dimmed significantly.

The gray-armored youth stepped forward, shouting loudly. The purple war spear in his hand shone brightly, instantly blooming with thousands of spear shadows, like a peacock spreading its tail feathers.

"Bang," "bang," "bang," consecutive muffled thuds sounded. Most of the impacts were shattered by the spear shadows. The remaining impacts, although forcing the four to retreat a few steps, were not a serious threat.

A trace of unwillingness flashed across Shi Chuan Kong’s face, but he did not dare to hesitate and immediately opened his mouth and spat.

A silver light shot out, enveloping the bodies of the two, forming a silver shuttle shadow. With a tremor, it transformed into hundreds of shadows, flying randomly in all directions, disappearing in an instant.

Seeing this scene, the four stopped and did not continue to pursue.

The gray demons behind them also stopped, staying in place without moving.

“This man runs fast!” The gray-robed elder raised an eyebrow and said in surprise.

“He seems to have used a spatial law divine power in the end. It may not be easy to catch him. Mr. Gu, what do we do now?” The gray-armored youth looked at the gray skeleton and asked.

The gray skeleton did not answer immediately. With a wave of the staff in its hand, the gray net dissipated.

He flipped his hand, and a gray square plate the size of a basin appeared. Five gray bone tablets hovered above it, each with a small human shadow on it.

One of the bone tablets shattered and fell onto the plate.

“What! Fang Jin is dead! How is that possible? Although Fang Jin is arrogant and conceited, he already has a mid-Taiyi cultivation and possesses two Silverscale Lizards. How could he be killed!” The fair maiden slightly opened her mouth, seemingly unable to believe what she was seeing, and said.

“The ones who entered the True Word Sect ruins this time are all powerful figures from the Immortal Realm. Didn’t we just encounter one with spatial laws? Although Fang Jin is not weak, he has always been arrogant and insisted on acting alone this time. He deserved to die,” the gray-robed elder cackled coldly.

“Gui Tian, what do you mean by that? Fang Jin is still our companion. Now that he has been killed, you are gloating here!” The fair maiden raised her eyebrows and rebuked.

The gray-robed elder chuckled strangely, not retorting, but glanced at the fair maiden, especially staring intensely at her towering breasts.

The fair maiden was furious and about to explode.

“Alright, we have a mission to perform. Don’t delay the important matter,” the gray skeleton said faintly.

“Mr. Gu is right.” The gray-robed elder hurriedly nodded, but a trace of a strange smile still remained on his face.

The gray-armored youth also waved his hand at the fair maiden. The fair maiden took a deep breath and suppressed the anger in her heart.

“Fang Jin has fallen, and the formation there has probably been destroyed. Mr. Gu, how do we proceed now?” The gray-armored youth stepped forward and asked again.

The gray skeleton pondered for a moment, then turned to look behind him. He raised his hand and released a gray light. After a few breaths, the gray light flew back, carrying two corpses inside, Zhao Zhen and Lu Wuliang.

The skeleton looked at the two corpses, the fire in its eyes flickered slightly, then it put them away, and then waved the staff in its hand without saying a word.

Rumble!

The gray mist behind it suddenly rolled violently, and the speed also suddenly increased by more than double, sweeping forward like a raging wave, engulfing all the gray monsters in it.

The gray mist did not stop at all, continuing to fly forward, then engulfing the four gray immortals in it. Then, it suddenly brightened, turning into a gray raging wave connecting the sky and the earth, continuing to fly forward quickly, seemingly chasing after Shi Chuan Kong and Feng Lin.

……

In another area of the True Word Sect ruins, two escaping lights were flying forward. They were Han Li and Hotfire Celestial.

Below the two was a swamp, with water pits and ponds scattered like stars. From time to time, bursts of purple mist rose from the swamp, which was somewhat similar to the Illusionary Dust Haze in the Illusionary Mist Marsh.

It’s just that the mist here is just ordinary miasma and does not have the hallucinogenic power of the Illusionary Dust Haze.

“Not far ahead is the True Word Palace, which used to be a common place for the ancestor to retreat.” During the flight, Hotfire Celestial said.

“Since it is the retreat place of the Miro Ancestor, it is also possible that the *Grand Five Elements Illusionary World Art* is hidden there.” Han Li’s eyes also flickered.

“Although that’s the case, it’s just a possibility. However, there should also be some other treasures inside. Hopefully, they were not destroyed in the war that year,” Hotfire Celestial said uncertainly.

“This trip to the ruins has attracted forces from all sides, and now even the Gray Realm has invaded here. The situation is becoming more and more complicated. We’d better speed up a little more, lest something change,” Han Li said slowly.

“Fellow Daoist Li is right, but this place seems safe, but there may be some hidden spatial cracks in the void. If we rashly increase our escape speed, I’m afraid the risk will be high,” Hotfire Celestial said worriedly.

“It doesn’t matter, I will use my spirit eye divine power, which is enough to see through those hidden spatial cracks.” Han Li pinched his fingers and waved, the purple light on his body flashed, and faint purple lines appeared, emitting traces of rich demonic energy.

Hotfire Celestial’s expression changed slightly when he saw this scene.

Han Li ignored Hotfire Celestial’s reaction, continued to pinch his fingers with both hands, and the purple light in his eyes intensified, condensing into two purple crystal awns that were a foot long in a flash.

Countless purple runes flashed in the purple crystal awn. Countless purple light spots flickered in his eyes, which were mysterious and seemed to be able to see through everything.

“Okay, let’s go.” The blue light on Han Li’s body intensified, and his escape speed increased by nearly half.

Seeing Han Li’s series of spellcasting changes, Hotfire Celestial’s eyes flickered for a while, and the escape light immediately accelerated, following closely behind.

In this way, the two flew forward for more than half an hour, and the swamp below disappeared, and a vast sea area appeared.

The climate above this sea area was quite cold, with snowflakes flying from time to time. Huge white icebergs were also frozen on the sea below, refracting bursts of white light, which looked quite beautiful.

After Hotfire Celestial arrived at the sea, he took out a disc-shaped magic weapon, seemingly to identify the direction, and then flew in one direction.

The two flew forward for a while, and a sea island suddenly appeared in front, with a radius of more than ten thousand miles.

Looking from a distance, in the center of the island, there was a huge white mountain peak. The peak was straight and sharp, like a white giant sword pointing straight at the sky.

At the top of the mountain, there was a huge palace, which was snow-white and jade-like, and seemed to be built of some kind of white ice crystal jade stone. From time to time, white rays of light rose from it, which looked extremely spectacular and beautiful.

Unlike the dilapidated palaces encountered before, this white palace was not damaged at all.

A huge plaque hung on the palace gate, with three golden characters written on it, "True Word Palace", shining brightly in the sunlight.
