As the man took a step, the hem of his flowing robe swayed lightly, and the jade accessories worn on his waist made a crisp and pleasant collision sound. If he was holding a folding fan in his hand and waving it gently, he would look like a handsome young man in this corrupt world.

He walked leisurely, calmly and confidently, and his manners were elegant, but the atmosphere became even more tense. Wang Zhongdai nodded to the three of them in a gentle manner: "We meet again."

Chen Xiao approached Xi Yunting silently and looked at Wang Zhongdai vigilantly.

Wang Chongdai ignored his vigilant look. He glanced around and took in the entire scene in the study.

Facing the empty shelves and desks, he showed a look of realization, clapped his hands lightly, and said, "I seem to be late."

This sentence was just a statement, without any regret.

Chen Xiao's heart sank, and he saw Wang Zhongdai smiling and saying to them: "Although it's late, it's not too late. I am willing to reason, so please hand over everything you have. Hongfu Pavilion has always been friendly with Taoists, and I don't want to destroy this relationship. So, don't force me to do something I don't want to do."

Chen Xiao gritted his teeth. Wang Zhongdai’s cultivation was too high. He might be at the level of Spirit Severing or even higher.

He suppressed his reluctance and turned to look at Xi Yunting. He gave him the right to make the decision. Whether it was compromise or fight, he would obey his decision.

Xi Yunting said calmly, "Forgive me for being rude, but I cannot agree to your request."

Wang Zhongdai raised his eyebrows and hummed. Being rejected didn't seem to surprise him. He shook his head regretfully and turned to Bai Jiguang, still with a gentle attitude, and said, "You, I don't need to say more, right?"

Bai Jiguang stretched his head to look behind Wang Zhongdai, but didn't see what he wanted. He looked at Wang Zhongdai again with disappointment and confusion, and asked tentatively: "Could it be you who passed the message to me before?"

Wang Zhongdai put his hands behind his back and nodded calmly: "Yes, it's me."

After getting the confirmation, the confusion on Bai Jiguang's face faded, replaced by an expression of honor, and said: "I didn't expect that the eldest son of Hongfu Pavilion is also one of us."

He took out the jade slip, which had not yet warmed up, and respectfully presented it to Wang Zhongdai.

The moment Wang Zhongdai's fingers touched the jade slip, Xi Yunting suddenly drew his sword, and a big hole exploded in the window frame. He pushed Chen Xiao's back with his hand, and the two of them escaped through the window in an instant.

Bai Jiguang was so frightened by the explosion that the jade slip almost fell to the ground. Wang Zhongdai's eyes did not even flare up. He caught the jade slip steadily and reached into it to check the contents.

Bai Jiguang was furious and anxiously shouted at Wang Zhongdai: "Master, we can't let them get away! Chongshan's notes are in their hands!"

Wang Zhongdai didn't even raise his head, but curled his lips and said lightly, "Don't worry, no Taoist will be able to escape today."

Bai Jiguang was delighted when he heard this and asked, "Does the eldest master have a backup plan?"

Wang Zhongdai raised his face, his normally warm expression suddenly turned cold, he licked his lips bloodthirstily and said: "The Taoists have come from afar, how can I, Guangji, not entertain them well?"

Bai Jiguang was shaking with excitement, and said excitedly: "I knew it! I knew that the master would not easily let go of those Taoists who dared to set their sights on Chongshan Immortal Palace! I have been waiting for this day for a long time, really looking forward to it day and night!"

Wang Zhongdai looked at him and smiled mysteriously, "I'll give you a chance. Do you want to take revenge yourself?"

Chen Xiao and Xi Yunting did not hear the conversation in the study. After rushing out of the study, they immediately ran towards the stairs.

Wang Chongdai did not chase after them, which made them both feel relieved, but also more depressed.

Seeing how determined he was to get the things in the study, there was no way he would let them go. If he let them escape so easily, he would probably face an even more dangerous situation later.

Xi Yunting made a prompt decision and threw out a command arrow from his master.

The command arrow made a sharp sound and dispersed into dozens of small, red-light flashing arrows, flying towards the surrounding sky in all directions.

This is the highest level of warning, foreshadowing an unparalleled crisis, no hope of victory, and must be evacuated as soon as possible. When the disciples of the Chongxuan School and the Jinchan Sect see these whistling arrows, they will give up everything and retreat at the first opportunity!

The elite disciples scattered throughout the Immortal Palace did not hesitate. Whether they were searching or fighting with others, they put everything aside without hesitation and turned around to fly towards the palace gate.

This confused the people around them and also stunned the people who were fighting with them.

Tang Ru and Jing Huigang worked together to defeat a group of competitors and gained an advantageous position in the material warehouse. When they heard the sound of the arrow, they threw away the remaining items that they had not yet obtained, turned around and punched and kicked their way out, and rushed out of the warehouse door.

In the name of preventing Tong Nuonuo from getting lost, Li Muye led him as he walked. As they were the slowest, they simply stayed in the reception hall halfway up the mountain.

When they saw the warning, they were in the side room of the reception hall. Li Muye was still wondering what was making the sound, and Tong Nuonuo's expression changed, "It's a warning! The highest level warning of the Zhongxuan Sect! Not good, we have to leave here quickly!"

Tong Nuonuo turned around, not forgetting to grab Li Muye. The two of them flashed out from the side, avoided the people in the reception hall, and ran out.

This commotion not only alarmed the disciples of the two factions and their companions who were familiar with the warning, but also alerted Zhang Jide of the Equipment Refiners' Alliance.

"What's going on? Which force issued the warning?" he asked.

A weapon refiner nearby said hesitantly, "It seems to be from the Chongxuan School."

Zhang Jide's face darkened, and another weapon refiner said uneasily: "Master, it looks like there is danger. Should we retreat?"

Zhang Jide gritted his teeth and said, "What kind of danger could there be? Don't forget, we have a powerful ally. If others are in danger, it doesn't mean we are in danger too. Not only should we not retreat, but we should also take this opportunity to find more treasures! Don't worry about other places, go to the workshop and material warehouse first!"

Those who stayed until now all wanted to seek wealth and fame by taking risks. Most of them have not yet achieved satisfactory results, and even half of them are currently engaged in battles with others.

They heard the warning, but either did not understand it or did not care.

People scattered everywhere are doing what they think is right step by step, which makes those who go against the current particularly conspicuous.

Zhang Jide recognized Xi Yunting with his sharp eyes. He blocked the narrow road with ill intentions, "Master Xi, Fellow Daoist Chen, where are you going in such a hurry?"

Xi Yunting's eyes turned cold, and he said bluntly, "Anyone who stands in the way will die!" After saying that, he raised his hand and swept away with a sword light.

Zhang Jide was shocked and dodged hastily. As the leader of the weapon refiners' union, his specialty was naturally weapon refinement, and he did not practice martial arts that were good at fighting. He barely avoided the vital points, and half of his body was swept by the sword light, leaving a bloody wound.

Xi Yunting and Chen Xiao took the opportunity to rush past them. Zhang Jide covered his bloody wound, looked at them in shame and anger, stamped his feet and shouted, "Stop them!"

Knowing clearly that they were in danger and were on the run, they still had the urge to interfere and make things worse. Chen Xiao hated these people who were taking advantage of their misfortune and threw out a handful of Yuan Qi Five Thunder Talismans.

"Boom boom boom" a series of loud noises, countless lightning bolts appeared out of nowhere, interweaving into a huge electric net. The immortal cultivators chasing after them had no way to avoid it, and hurriedly used their abilities to resist the lightning strikes.

Now Chen Xiao's Yuan Qi Five Thunder Talisman has a wider range and greater power.

Except for those whose skills or talents happened to counteract lightning, and those who used magic weapons to protect themselves from most of the damage, at least one-third of the people were knocked down directly.

The remaining person coughed out black smoke, with an avant-garde hairstyle that was electrocuted into an explosive style, howling, and chased after the two people.

At this time, a large group of people rushed in from the direction of the palace gate.

These people, carrying a strong murderous aura, rushed up the mountain road in a menacing manner.

Xi Yunting narrowed his eyes slightly, he stopped, stood in front of Chen Xiao, stepped deeply into the stone steps below, exhaled and said: "Kill——"

He twisted his waist, clenched his hands, a snowy front appeared in the air, and he exerted force with his arms, swinging forward!

The steps under his feet cracked, and the snow-edge sword blade flashed with dazzling golden light. A huge sword light, with irresistible force, slashed towards the evil cultivator below.

Some evil cultivators jumped to the cliffs and mountain walls on both sides of the road in time, while those who had no time to escape were chopped into pieces by the sword light while screaming.

Wherever the sword light went, it actually cut a big gash in the evil cultivator's body.

Behind the two of them, the cultivators from the Equipment Refiners' Alliance, who were filled with anger, didn't pay attention to the situation below. When Chen Xiao and the others stopped, these people attacked them from above with magical weapons or spells.

Xi Yunting fought against the evil cultivator, while Chen Xiao leaned on his back and swung the Xingshan Axe in his hand fiercely.

The situation was critical, so he didn't care about much and directly attacked the local aura. Xingshan's axe split a large rock, instantly causing the mountain to collapse and the falling rocks hit the heads of the enemies behind him.

The evil cultivators continued to pour in, and finally some immortal cultivators realized something was wrong. However, it was no longer easy to escape.

The immortal cultivators who were staying halfway up the mountain saw that the situation was not good, so they took refuge in the reception hall, closed the gate, and held their ground.

Li Muye protected Tong Nuonuo while fighting and retreating, and had to follow the retreating crowd into the reception hall.

They managed to escape in time, while the Taoists who failed to hide in the Reception Hall were either killed or captured.

Xi Yunting led Chen Xiao and rushed down for a while. His fighting power was too strong. People among the evil cultivators kept jumping up and charging at him, but they were killed by him again and again.

Gradually, the evil cultivators realized how powerful he was and began to avoid him, passing under cliffs or on mountain walls.

Behind them, with the place where the rocks collapsed as the end point, the evil cultivators gathered together again and surrounded the cultivators on the mountain with evil smiles.

Zhang Jide's face was pale. Surrounded by his retreating subordinates, he pretended to be tough and said, "What do you want to do? Don't forget, we Taoists have an agreement with you evil cultivators!"

The evil cultivators on the other side laughed and said sarcastically, "Yes, we have an agreement. But the agreement only says that you can come to the island to explore the Chongshan Immortal Palace, but it does not say that you can leave safely after the palace is opened! If you want to take away the treasures on our territory, fine, as long as you pass this level, we will naturally let you leave."

There was even an evil cultivator who sneered, "You are the leader of the Taoist sect, but you can't even figure this out. You are too stupid!"
