Li Yuncang didn't have the mind to covet Gao Xuan's beauty at this moment; he was already considering retreat.

He has spent a lifetime suffering some hardships in cultivation, apart from indulgence in pleasures, rarely engaging in fights. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Noticing the situation was unfavorable, Li Yuncang was ready to escape.

Gao Xuan calmly said, "All are scourges among cultivators, it's convenient to kill."

Celestial Fool turned around and said to Yuan Buyin, "The Celestial Master commands you to die, then you must die."

Yuan Buyin said solemnly, "Master, do you really want to take action? We have no grudges from afar nor hatred from near, why turn hostile over such a trivial matter? Besides, this is the Great Wind Country, this is Master Xuan Xiang's territory."

He raised his voice and questioned, "Do you really want to be enemies with Master Xuan Xiang?"

Celestial Fool chuckled, "You're still using Xuan Xiang's name to intimidate people, I didn't fear Xuan Xiang even when he was alive, let alone when he's already dead."

Yuan Buyin was struck as if by lightning, his mind went blank for a moment, Xuan Xiang dead? How could this be possible?

Li Yuncang, who initially wanted to flee, was also stunned, Xuan Xiang actually died? How did he die? What would happen to them if Xuan Xiang died?

Celestial Fool saw the two dumbfounded and scoffed a bit: "Xuan Xiang isn't your dad, dead is dead, this appearance is too ridiculous."

He shook his head: "Truly the disgrace of the Daoist Sect."

Celestial Fool didn't have the interest to say much to the two Daoists, with a wave of his hand, he unleashed the Celestial Capital Soundless Thunder Sword.

This was originally a colorless and invisible flying sword; during Celestial Fool's tribulation crossing, it absorbed the power of tribulation thunder, ultimately refining this formless sword into a unique thunder skill.

The method condenses the power of thunder into a soundless, lightless flying sword, supremely fierce yet unpredictable and mysterious, it's invincible in combat.

With such close proximity, and Celestial Fool being a Twelve Tribulations cultivator, the Celestial Capital Soundless Thunder Sword was both extremely swift and soundless.

Li Yuncang just vaguely sensed something was wrong, the soundless and invisible Thunder Sword had already slashed him from top to bottom into two halves. The power of thunder exploded, turning Li Yuncang into a sky full of blood light.

The inexperienced Li Yuncang was killed this way. The defensive spiritual artifact he wore was automatically triggered but was utterly unable to withstand the strike of the Soundless Thunder Sword.

Beside him, Boss Huang reacted quickly, seeing the old Daoist wave his hand, he knew something was wrong. He transformed into a demon wind intending to flee far away.

The Soundless Thunder Sword pierced through the demon wind and exploded into dense blue-white thunder light, Boss Huang's magic was shattered, instantly exploding into a mist of blood.

Only Yuan Buyin reacted the fastest and had the deepest Dao practice. Ever since Gao Xuan appeared, he had been silently mobilizing the City Defense Array.

When Celestial Fool appeared, Yuan Buyin further mobilized the strength of the City Defense Array.

Yuan Buyin couldn't see the soundless Thunder Sword either, but he could sense its existence.

The Crimson Flame Sword Array was immediately summoned by him, the crimson sword light transformed into nine layers of red light walls surrounding him.

The Soundless Thunder Sword was impeded, the power of thunder erupted with bursts of lightning, thousands of crimson sword lights were shattered into countless points of light.

The Thunder Sword instantly penetrated the Ninth Layer Crimson Flame Sword Array and shot directly at Yuan Buyin.

A layer of moon-white gauze robe rose on Yuan Buyin's body, as the supremely fierce Thunder Sword Light fell upon the white gauze, it vanished silently.

Celestial Fool was somewhat surprised, the Celestial Capital Soundless Thunder Sword was his most skilled technique.

Not to mention Yuan Buyin, even Xuan Xiang would have to deal with it with all strength. Yuan Buyin simply relied on a gauze robe to resist the Soundless Thunder Sword, this gauze robe was extraordinary indeed.

This layer of gauze was as gentle as moonlight, as pliable as water, as elusive as mist. Draped over the Daoist robe, it bestowed Yuan Buyin a few traces of immortal qi.

The Soundless Thunder Sword struck down, only making the gauze robe ripple slightly like cloud vapor.

Celestial Fool was curious, in his life he has seen countless immortal artifacts and magical treasures, but for wondrous protection, this gauze robe was top-notch.

"What is this?" Celestial Fool asked.

Yuan Buyin paused in silence and said, "This is the Five Elements Celestial Net Gauze Robe, also an Upper Realm supreme treasure. If Master likes it, I can present it to you."

Celestial Fool laughed heartily, "If I like it, I'll take it myself, why bother with you."

Yuan Buyin said solemnly, "I am presiding over the Ten Directions Celestial Treasure Array, the entire Yong'an Array is gathered here. If the Master continues to take action, the Ten Directions Celestial Treasure Array will rupture, and Yong'an's two hundred thousand people will follow and die."

To show that he wasn't bluffing, Yuan Buyin activated the array, a glow rose throughout Yong'an, these glows intertwined and linked, forming a gigantic light screen over Yong'an.

Although Celestial Fool wasn't proficient in arrays, he could see that Yuan Buyin was indeed the core of the array.

To say breaking the array would kill all is clearly nonsense. However, as the array's core host, Yuan Buyin could indeed forcibly explode the array killing everyone.

Celestial Fool sighed and said, "You are indeed treacherous, willing to drag two hundred thousand people with you in death."

"I am helpless, please understand, Master."

Yuan Buyin felt he had no chance of winning, couldn't escape, and now could only use two hundred thousand lives to threaten Celestial Fool.

Celestial Fool was a Human Immortal, yet couldn't possibly kill two hundred thousand just to kill him.

Yuan Buyin added, "I've been in Yong'an for hundreds of years, already bound with the Ten Directions Celestial Treasure Array. Though master's cultivation is profound, he cannot disengage the array suddenly."

He dared not provoke Celestial Fool, afraid that he might go beserk and disregard logic.

Yuan Buyin said respectfully, "It was my fault this time. After Master leaves, I'll pack up and roll away, I'll forever leave the Northern Province, and won't bother Master again..."

He added, "How does the Master feel about this decision?"

Celestial Fool looked a bit troubled towards Gao Xuan, unable to break the array, he could only listen to the other side's conditions. But ultimately, it depended on Gao Xuan's attitude.

Gao Xuan coldly said, "Having done evil for many years and wanting to leave without consequences, there's no such good thing."

Yuan Buyin wasn't as respectful to Gao Xuan, and said gloomily, "If I die, Yong'an will surely perish!"

"With you?"

Gao Xuan raised his left hand, the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Claw Dark Gold Blade Claw emerged from the void, grabbing Yuan Buyin.

In the void, the sound "Beng Beng Beng" like strings snapping echoed, countless invisible array connections were forcibly broken.

As the array core, Yuan Buyin immediately noticed something was wrong; his connection with the Ten Directions Celestial Treasure Array was directly severed by overwhelming force.

Yuan Buyin was terrified beyond measure; he just realized Gao Xuan's strength. One move rendered him powerless, far surpassing Celestial Fool not by just a fraction.

He struggled desperately, but held by the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Claw, no amount of struggle was effective.

Yuan Buyin hastily shrieked, "Spare me, Celestial Master, spare me; disciple is willing to offer a supreme treasure..."
