Afterward, Bi Ji looked at Zhou Yan, feeling quite powerless. Her eyes were filled with guilt, remorse, and regret, a complex gaze that stirred Zhou Yan’s heart just a bit.

"Bi Ji, I understand your good intentions, and you shouldn’t dwell on it too much. Even if you hadn’t actively sought us out, they would have found me easily. It would just take a little more time."

"A moment of time, in this place, can actually achieve nothing. Ultimately, we can’t escape."

Zhou Yan comforted.

Sky Fox King Bi Ji’s eyes were filled with gratitude, yet also showed even more complex and guilty emotions.

It seemed that the less Zhou Yan blamed her, the more uncomfortable she felt.

At this moment, in the ripples beside Left Hand Sword King Ye Xu, two Eternal Spirits appeared.

These two Eternal Spirits were also known to Zhou Yan, and could completely overlap with those encountered back at the Shura Hall location.

Unexpectedly, these Eternal Spirits had achieved such mastery. Maybe they were originally just avatars entering the Soul Burying Starfield, or they grew to such an extent from there.

Relative to the latter, Zhou Yan believed the former more.

As Zhou Yan stared at these people, the two spirits appearing in the ripples casually glanced at Left Hand Sword King Ye Xu before focusing their gaze on Jia Yongheng.

"Hand over the Yin Yang Origin, and you can have a quick end!"

The two Eternal Spirits spoke almost simultaneously.

"Life-taking King, King Jinglian, I didn’t expect you to fall to the point of being lapdogs. Where is the style of the past?"

With a cold laugh, Jia Yongheng spoke sarcastically.

But his sarcasm was of no consequence to Life-taking King and King Jinglian.

"Every living being has their own pursuits. Now, following Evil Spirit Master, we have our own plans, so blame yourself for choosing the wrong allegiance."

King Jinglian spoke indifferently.

Life-taking King just coldly stared at Jia Yongheng, as if ready to strike a deadly blow at any moment.

"Life-taking King Li Wentian, King Jinglian Hua Wuqing."

Zhou Yan muttered, then slightly retreated a few steps, temporarily creating some distance.

This was a forced and helpless act.

Zhou Yan’s movement, however, was not noticed by these spirits.

Life-taking King Li Wentian looked at Jia Yongheng and said, "Bring it out."

"Go ahead, you know I won’t hand over what’s in my hands!"

Jia Yongheng seemed not to care much about Life-taking King and didn’t hold King Jinglian Hua Wuqing in regard.

The two exchanged glances and nodded to each other, instantly unleashing a terrifying killing intent.

They possessed combat power comparable to Hong Yuqiao and others!

Evil Spirit, at such a level, was almost comparable to a half-step Monarch. The disparity in combat power was already unimaginably vast.

With their attack, Zhou Yan knew that unless he used the Lonely Sword Dao King Dao, even at his peak, he would be outclassed by the attacks of these two strong individuals.

But Jia Yongheng was not bothered at all, using Luck Power to promptly throw a punch.

It was a punch reminiscent of Fist Intent, sweeping across the sky, demonstrating an invincible Fist Intent.

Fist Intent oscillated the Void, The Ring pulverized Life-taking King and King Jinglian’s attacks into powder, directly shattering them into nothingness.

Such immense and furious strikes by both were rendered utterly ineffective by Jia Yongheng’s assault.

The combat power was astonishing enough to leave Hua Wuqing and Li Wentian rather surprised.

At this moment, Bi Ji’s eyes suddenly changed, exclaiming, "Watch out!"

However, her alert did not materialize, as Ye Xu suddenly blocked it with Sword Dao power, so Bi Ji’s message reached only Zhou Yan, and not Jia Yongheng.

Even without sensing it, Jia Yongheng’s reaction was not lacking.

In almost an instant, Jia Yongheng’s figure transformed into void, disappearing.

The spot where Jia Yongheng vanished was pierced by equally terrifying Luck Power, nearly a death blow.

At this point, Jia Yongheng had appeared not far from Zhou Yan, slightly disheveled, arranging his somewhat messy robe with a face full of uncertainty.

While the site of the destructive void slowly gathered into a unique phantom.

This phantom started as intangible, but quickly became very real.

Now, Zhou Yan noticed that the gathered phantom was a familiar face, someone even familiar to no end—Heavenly Fortune King Jia Yongsheng. Heaven Fortune King suddenly ambushed Jia Yongheng, which made Jia Yongheng unable to sense danger, nearly striking a hit.

But Bi Ji’s warning helped Jia Yongheng escape a disaster, fortunately with a narrow escape.

At this moment, Jia Yongheng, after glancing at Jia Yongsheng, directly mobilized all his power, gathering the concealed Yin Yang Origin, and engaged in an epic battle with Jia Yongsheng.

Now, Left Hand Sword King Ye Xu, King Jinglian Hua Wuqing, and Life-taking King Li Wentian all launched an attack on Zhou Yan, intending to seize this opportunity to deliver a destructive strike.

Zhou Yan knew that if he didn’t act now, the result would be annihilation, so he prepared to strike first at the moment when the three attacked.

Zhou Yan used the supreme Annihilation Thunder Seal, employing kingly means in Lonely Sword Dao, while deriving Thunderflame Yuan Ci Sword, attacking Left Hand Sword King Ye Xu.

This time, Zhou Yan even used powers similar to Evil Spirit due to the severe damage to his own state.

Zhou Yan already mastered some of Evil Spirit’s powers. In such a situation, besides Evil Spirit’s powers rapidly boosting combat strength and stabilizing injuries, nearly no other method worked.

Zhou Yan forcibly suppressed Left Hand Sword King, Life-taking King, and King Jinglian. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

Bi Ji, however, was rather dumbstruck watching the scene unfold, confused and filled with conflicted emotions.

Bi Ji, after all, served Lord of Ice and Snow, so she found herself in a difficult position between both sides.

Zhou Yan didn’t blame Bi Ji’s actions but instead forcefully activated stronger powers of Evil Spirit, using unparalleled violent methods to temporarily confine Ye Xu, Hua Wuqing, and Li Wentian, ensuring Zhou Yan’s relative safety for the moment.

Meanwhile, Jia Yongsheng and Jia Yongheng’s battle also reached its peak.

Soon, their battle fell into another silence, then they stood remotely, confronting in the void.

Jia Yongsheng, after glancing at Jia Yongheng, looked at those like Ye Xu being powerfully suppressed by Zhou Yan, and then directly deployed dreadful Qi Fortune Rule power, sweeping towards Ye Xu and the others.

Ye Xu’s trio, being unable to move under Zhou Yan’s suppression, was swept away by Jia Yongsheng in an instant.

Zhou Yan could do nothing to stop it.

Meanwhile, Jia Yongheng just calmly watched, with cold and indifferent eyes.

"Take your pack of dogs and roll as far as possible!"

Jia Yongheng suddenly spoke coldly.

"Jia Yongheng, someday you’ll realize how ridiculously wrong you are!"

Jia Yongsheng coldly smiled.

"Oh, really? Let’s see when the time comes, maybe you won’t even have a future!"

Jia Yongheng sneered.

"Is that so? Someday, you’ll regret it, you surely will!"

Jia Yongsheng wanted to say more, but Jia Yongheng chose to completely ignore him.

At present, Jia Yongsheng knew that saying more would give Jia Yongheng recovery time, and by then, if he wanted to leave, it would be impossible.

At this point, Jia Yongsheng used Luck Light Wheel, conjuring unique rippling waves, like Emperor Star spontaneously emerging, abruptly taking away Left Hand Sword King Ye Xu and Sky Fox King Bi Ji, among four others.
