Chu Di and Lin Yangtian felt a profound silence, as if a long time had passed, yet also as if it had been an instant. After the white light flashed, they regained their sense of the outside world.

Upon seeing the scene outside, they couldn't help but gape!

As far as the eye can see, the first thing is a bottomless pit!

The giant pit stretched for two miles before being blocked by Meng Fan's barrier.

When they came to their senses, they found themselves floating in the air, covered by a thin layer of something that looked like water. They knew without a doubt that Meng Fan was protecting them; otherwise, even if they were hundreds of meters away, the aftershocks would have blasted them into dust!

Looking at the sky above the giant pit, the Sweeping Monk was shrouded in white mist, hovering in the air—a sign of his blood circulating at an extremely rapid pace!

Looking at Xue Gui again, he was fine, except that he had lost his left hand.

His face showed despair. He had just unleashed his strongest attack, but the Sweeper Monk's punch directly shattered the energy he had gathered. He sensed the danger and dodged at top speed, but he was still hit by the wind of the punch and lost an arm!

"I lost? I actually lost! I actually lost to a Grandmaster?!"

Xue Gui closed his eyes in despair; everything that had happened today had shattered his worldview!

Whether it was Chu Di who appeared earlier, Meng Yuhai who was at the peak of the Grandmaster realm and had just entered the Grandmaster realm, or the person in front of him who could defeat him who was already at the Unity realm with the Grandmaster realm!

He didn't understand at all; he just felt that everything in front of him was an illusion!

"This is all an illusion!! Ah! Ah! Ah! I don't believe it! Ah!"

After venting his frustrations, he seemed to accept reality and glared menacingly at the sweeping monk.

"Why? Why are you so strong? You're Nightmare! My Nightmare!"

The sweeping monk looked distressed and said, "Amitabha, what torments you is never any person or thing, but your own illusions and expectations! Everything in the world is trying to heal you, but you alone refuse to let yourself go!"

Xue Gui remained silent for a long time after hearing the sweeping monk's words.

"You're right, reality can't be changed, the only thing we can change is our own mindset!"

After Xue Gui finished speaking, he flew close to the sweeping monk, closed his eyes, and continued, "Kill me! I don't want to live in fear here anymore!"

The sweeping monk nodded, and said sadly, "I will end your suffering."

After speaking, he mustered all his strength, and just when everyone thought the matter was over, Xue Gui shot out a cold light from his mouth. The light was so fast that even the Sweeping Monk didn't have time to react before it appeared on his forehead!

Xue Gui revealed a ruthless expression!

The sweeping monk's expression changed drastically!

Both Chu enemies were shocked!

The change was too fast. Everyone was highly skilled in cultivation, so they could only show expressions of fear. It was too late to speak!

The image froze in that moment!

Xue Gui's expression remained unchanged, but as time went on, his eyes gradually filled with terror!

The sweeping monk, who was initially caught off guard, regained his composure.

Chu Di and Lin Yangtian felt that their bodies could not move. They kept looking at the sky and found that Meng Fan had appeared next to the Sweeper Monk at some point.

Chu Di looked around. The sand and stones that were falling with the wind were still, and even the clothes on his body seemed to be frozen in time!

Apart from thoughts, there is nothing else that can move in this space!

This bizarre scene terrified everyone present, except for the sweeping monk.

Chu Di never expected his senior brother's methods to be so terrifying! This completely refreshed his understanding of martial arts!

Are we cultivating martial arts, while you, senior brother, are cultivating immortality?

While others practice martial arts, you cultivate immortality? How are others supposed to compete?!

Ignoring their thoughts, Meng Fan reached out and picked up a silver needle that was stuck on the Sweeper Monk's forehead. The needle was already inserted into the head, which showed how dangerous it must have been!

He exclaimed in surprise, "Hmm? It's already among the divine weapons, no wonder it's so sharp!"

He casually wiped away the violent true energy from the silver needles and then said, "A fine divine weapon, perfect for a sneak attack!"

With a faint smile, he waved his hand again, removing the restrictions placed on the Sweeper Monk. The Sweeper Monk quickly bowed and said, "Thank you for saving my life, Holy Son!"

In front of outsiders, they all call him "Holy Son," but in private, they call him "Young Master."

"Let's not be so polite between us! It's already remarkable that you, a Grandmaster, could fight against someone in the Unity Realm! After this matter, it will be natural for you to go into seclusion and reach the Unity Realm as well!" Meng Fan said to the Sweeper Monk with satisfaction.

The sweeping monk nodded in agreement, without expressing further gratitude to the young master for granting him thirteen levels of good fortune. This was exactly as the young master had said; there was no need for formalities between them.

Meng Fan turned to look at Xue Gui.

One glance was enough to send chills down Xue Gui's spine!

If the battle with the Sweeping Monk filled him with despair, then the young man before him was simply incapable of inspiring any thought of resistance!

Now that things have calmed down, he looked around and realized that the aftershocks of the battle had only lasted for about two miles, and the buildings outside were completely undamaged!

With his power at the Unity Realm, destroying the entire Wanhai City would have been a piece of cake. The final explosion was so powerful, yet it only affected a radius of two miles?!

Everything around him was now frozen in place, including himself, who was at the Unity Realm. He knew without a doubt that this was because of the young man in front of him. But what was this young man's cultivation level? This made him doubt the world he was in!

Is this still the world I know?

Meng Fan looked at Xue Gui with a faint smile, and suddenly had an idea.

"Do you want to die or live?"

Xue Gui suddenly realized he could move his mouth and hurriedly said, "I want to live! I want to live!"

"Since you dared to attack someone from my Gold and Silver Sect, you deserve to die. But I have some things I need you to do. If you do them well, you can live!"

"Please speak, sir. Whatever it is, I will handle it perfectly!"

Survival is the priority now. This young man could crush me like an ant. The Unity Realm is nothing in front of this young man!

"In our hometown dialect, it's called a suspended death sentence, meaning you're sentenced to death but given a one-year reprieve. If you behave well, you don't have to die."

Meng Fan explained to him that he had finally encountered a demonic cultivator at the Unity Realm, so he should squeeze every last drop of value out of him!

After saying that, he reached out and cast several streams of true energy onto Xue Gui, then waved his hand to dissipate his control over the surrounding area.

"First, work with Chu Di to stabilize the situation in the Fire Maple Dynasty, then come find me."

Meng Fan gave the order, then summoned Chu Di. Chu Di was now suspended in the air by him. With Chu Di's cultivation level of just entering the Grandmaster realm, he could only stay in the air for a short time and could not fly freely in the air.

Meng Fan raised his hand and pressed it down on Chu Di's forehead, sending a stream of true energy into his body.

Meng Fan said, "I will pass on a wisp of true energy to you. Use this true energy in conjunction with the life-and-death talisman control method you have learned, and you can activate the life-and-death talisman within his body. Why don't you give it a try?"
