On a cliff near the city of the mechanical city, two figures, one white and one gray, sped across the cliff face, staging a spectacular chase scene of light-footed martial arts.
His greyish-white figure left trails of afterimages on the cliffs like a scene from an aurora movie; he was Dao Zhi, one of the leaders of the Mohist school.
"Why do I keep running into guys with amazing lightness skills lately?" Dao Zhi cursed, looking at the white figure behind him that was just as fast as him. First, he encountered Wang Han, who was not only as fast as him but also far more skilled in thievery. Now he's run into Bai Fenghuang, who is even faster than him.
"That's... Wang Han? What's he doing here?" The fleeing bandit suddenly spotted a familiar figure a hundred meters away between cliffs—it was Wang Han, whom he dared not approach within three meters. Wang Han was plummeting rapidly down the cliff face, with nowhere to grab his weight. However, he didn't believe Wang Han was committing suicide; Wang Han must possess some special ability, like Bai Feng using bird feathers for leverage.
"That person?" Bai Feng also noticed Wang Han, who was rapidly falling down the cliff and chasing after them. He became secretly on guard. He didn't think he would encounter a suicide victim in such a remote place. The other person was likely also a master of lightness skills.
Soon, Bai Fenghuang and Dao Zhi chased each other to a mountain ridge. After Dao Zhi turned the ridge, Bai Fenghuang temporarily lost sight of Dao Zhi, and Dao Zhi could not see Bai Fenghuang chasing behind him for a while.
"Whoosh..." Just as Bai Fenghuang was about to speed up and turn around the mountain ridge, a whooshing sound suddenly rang out behind her, like the sound of a giant arrow being shot from a heavy crossbow.
Hearing the terrifying sound behind her, Bai Fenghuang turned around in alarm and instinctively began to dodge.
"How is this possible!" When Bai Fenghuang turned around and saw Wang Han rapidly approaching her, she forgot to dodge. The sound behind her was not the sound of crossbow bolts or some other weapon flying, but because Wang Han was flying. That's right, he was flying. His feet were still not using anything for leverage, but his speed was more than ten times faster than when she first saw Wang Han. The whooshing sound was also made by Wang Han's rapid flight and friction with the air.
Wang Han arrived in an instant. Bai Feng instinctively tried to raise his hand to block, but Wang Han slapped his hand away and grabbed his neck. His scarlet eyes met Bai Feng's, which made Bai Feng stop resisting. He then flew away in another direction with Bai Feng.

"Did Wang Han stop that guy?" After rounding the mountain ridge, Dao Zhi didn't see Bai Feng chasing after him and guessed. However, Dao Zhi was also happy with this and breathed a sigh of relief. The most important task now was to quickly inform the Grand Master and the Hundred Schools of Thought. The Mo Family's mechanical city had been breached, and the Grand Master and the Hundred Schools of Thought couldn't come to their deaths. He didn't believe that Bai Feng could be a match for Wang Han.

"Mo Ya, Ji Wuye, and Xueyi Hou all died under the Bloodthirsty Blade. Many soldiers from Han also perished under its blade, even contributing to Han's downfall. Besides that, Bai Feng knows nothing else. He doesn't even remember seeing that person, only the battlefield after the battle, or rather, the carnage. However, Wushuang Gui seems to have seen that person, but he never speaks of it, not even when Wei Zhuang asks." Wang Han frowned, looking at the dazed Bai Feng. If it weren't for the fact that searching memories with mental power would damage the brain, potentially turning someone into an idiot or even causing death, and Bai Feng's usefulness, Wang Han would have loved to directly access Bai Feng's memories. However, Wang Han didn't want to steal others' memories of events casually; he always worried that such memories might subtly influence him.
“Peerless Ghost, that’s the guy who was killed by Gai Nie’s Hundred Steps Flying Sword and then turned into a mechanical puppet by Gongshu Chou.” Wang Han pondered for a moment. “This is the only clue we have right now. It seems we really have to make a move.”
After pondering to himself, Wang Han tossed the vacant-looking Bai Feng onto a rock and headed back towards the Mechanized City. He quickly disappeared over the cliff.
"???" After Wang Han's figure disappeared, Bai Feng's dazed eyes finally regained some light. She looked around in confusion, wondering how she had suddenly appeared here. Then she remembered that she was chasing Mo Family's Dao Zhi. Without thinking too much, she quickly got up, but Dao Zhi was nowhere to be seen.

Within the forbidden area of the Mo family, thanks to the presence of Kuina, she easily overcame all the perilous trials along the way.

"Hey, four against four, are you guys planning a one-on-one fight?" In the Mo family's secret chamber, Wang Han walked in from the exit, looking at the group of people facing each other on both sides and Duanmu Rong who was tied to the ground. He completely ignored the tense atmosphere and joked casually.
"Gai Nie, you're out too! No wonder there were so many Qin soldiers' corpses on the road!" Wang Han said, looking at Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang. "The one with the white hair must be your junior brother Wei Zhuang. The two disciples of Guigu have gathered together today. No wonder the killing intent inside is so strong."
“Wang Han.” Gai Nie nodded.
Upon hearing Gai Nie call out Wang Han's name, Wei Zhuang and the others couldn't help but look at Wang Han. Wei Zhuang said, "I never expected that the person Ying Zheng always revered as a great sage would actually be with a traitor from the Mohist school."
"Looks like you two want to have a one-on-one fight first. Then let me see just how powerful the Ghost Valley's swordsmanship really is," Wang Han said, ignoring Wei Zhuang. He walked to the Mo family's side, took out a bag of melon seeds from somewhere, and started eating them. He even handed some to Xue Nu and the others, indicating that he had no intention of interfering. However, Wang Han's gaze did not fall on Gai Nie and Wei Zhuang standing in front of him, but rather on the mechanical Wushuang Ghost behind Wei Zhuang. He deliberately stuck his Miao sword, scabbard and all, into the ground.
Upon seeing Wang Han's longsword, Wushuang instinctively took a step back.
Seeing Wushuang's appearance, Wang Han pondered, 'Wushuang, it seems she still retains some consciousness, but I wonder how much? How much can she remember?'
While Wang Han was pondering, the battle between Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie began. However, before they could exchange more than a few blows, an unexpected incident occurred. Bai Feng, who had returned after losing track of Dao Zhi, launched a sneak attack during their fight, shooting a white feather dart at Gai Nie's back. Duanmu Rong, who noticed in time, also fired a silver needle at Bai Feng and simultaneously stood up to block the dart for Gai Nie. The battle between Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie was thus brought to a halt.
