Li Yu walked to the side and casually pointed to the open space.

The Black brothers quickly gathered everyone in the center of the open space.

Li Yu silently calculated the time in her mind and waited quietly.

When the time comes—

"Buzz!"

A soft, silvery-white light suddenly shone from beneath Li Yu's feet, rapidly spreading outwards and intertwining to form a complex and exquisite giant star array pattern!

The light pierced through the rain, illuminating the surrounding dim environment.

Under the astonished gaze of everyone.

The light at the center of the star array suddenly intensified, causing a slight ripple in space, and a figure stepped out from within the light.

"He's a space-type awakener, I knew it."

"And their strength is not low!"

"Shh..." the old man whispered among himself.

As Bai Ya stepped out of the star array, his gaze first fell on Li Yu, a hint of barely perceptible awe and respect flashing in his eyes.

He bowed slightly, his tone solemn:

"Lord Li Yu, as instructed, the dual-path star array is ready."

Seeing how respectful this obviously powerful space-type awakener was to Li Yu, the surrounding crowd couldn't help but raise their assessment of Li Yu even higher.

After observing the scale of the star array, Li Yu nodded and pointed to the group of anxious guests and five healing-type awakened individuals in the open space, making his meaning clear.

Bai Ya immediately understood and turned to scan the group of people.

With just one glance, he sensed the special aura emanating from these old men.

It was a sign of someone who was weak and listless, someone who should have died.

But the mixed vitality that appeared only after its life was forcibly extended.

A knowing glint flashed in Bai Ya's eyes, clearly recognizing the 'origins' of these old men.

The Gate of Immortality!

He had dealings with this organization.

It is also one of the few forces within the Central Plains that can perform life-swapping.

Previously, when Zhou Zhenbei was preparing to save his son, he had to choose between the Gate of Immortality and the Deep Sea Watchers.

However, because there are many people in Jincheng within the Changsheng Sect, their relationships are complex and chaotic, and they have close ties with Jincheng in secret.

Zhou Zhenbei was worried about unforeseen complications, and after careful consideration, he chose to contact the Deep Sea Watchers.

And the final task of exchanging lives for Zhou Xiaopeng and the baby fell right on his shoulders.

At this moment, Bai Ya couldn't help but sigh in his heart. The Changsheng Sect really had a long reach. They had "grabbed" Li Yu again. They were really courting death!

The Changsheng Sect surely doesn't think Li Yu is still the same as before, just a powerful refugee.

Noticing Li Yu's gaze, Bai Ya quickly regained his composure and stopped thinking about it.

He slowly raised his hands, and energy rapidly surged into the star array.

The star array shone ever brighter, rapidly expanding under the control of the white crow, slowly preparing to incorporate the people on the open ground.

The Hei brothers naturally had no intention of leaving, and immediately retreated to the edge to avoid being enveloped by the star array.

The star array continued to expand and fully unfolded, just as Bai Ya was preparing to perform a remote teleportation to bring Li Yu and the others back.

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening roar came from the ravine below.

It was as if a tremendous force had smashed through the thick rock wall!

The ground shook, and gravel flew everywhere, falling deep below.

Immediately afterwards, a figure covered in dust but with unusually excited eyes shot up from the ravine like a cannonball, before landing heavily at the edge of the open space.

Li Yu turned her head and saw that it was Zhao Dezheng who had jumped up!

"Li Yu! Why didn't you wait for me!"

Zhao Dezheng's tone carried a hint of complaint, but his face was beaming with an excited smile of having completed a 'heroic' mission.

Li Yu looked down and saw that Zhao Dezheng was actually holding someone else in his hand!

Seeing Li Yu looking at him, Zhao Dezheng, as if to claim credit, raised the man's head a little higher, shook it proudly at Li Yu, and deliberately asked:

"Look what I caught!"

He was a middle-aged man dressed in the distinctive attire of the Changsheng Sect's high-ranking members, his face filled with terror and despair.

He was already soaked to the bone, and was being carried by Zhao Dezheng like a chick, trembling with fear.

Other distinguished guests and elderly people also looked at it at the same time.

Upon seeing the face of this high-ranking official, their expressions changed drastically, their hearts pounded, and they immediately sensed something was wrong.

This person isn't dead?

How did he end up here?! And he got caught by Zhao Dezheng?!

Li Yu naturally noticed the subtle yet intense emotional changes of the distinguished guests. With a thought, he looked at the person in Zhao Dezheng's hand with some curiosity.

"What good stuff did you catch?" Li Yu asked.

Before Zhao Dezheng could answer, the man in his arms was already terrified and begged for mercy:

"Don't kill me! I have a list!"

The middle-aged man's eyes were unfocused, and he kept repeating the same sentence unconsciously:

"I have a list! I have a list!"

It seemed that only by constantly reminding the person invading the stronghold could he possibly survive.

"List?"

Li Yu raised an eyebrow slightly after hearing this, looking somewhat puzzled.

It's just a list, what's so special about it?

In his mind, this was at most an internal list of people who had joined the Changshengmen (a sect of immortality).

However, when Li Yu glanced at the group of distinguished elderly guests, he found that their reaction was unusually intense!

Those who had barely managed to remain calm in the face of death threats were now ashen-faced.

Some people seemed to be making a choice during a battle between heaven and man, their bodies trembling slightly, their fists clenched, their lips quivering, wanting to say something but unable to utter a sound.

Li Yu immediately understood.

This list is definitely not simple!

Zhao Dezheng seemed quite satisfied with the guests' reactions.
