Unfazed, Xu Disheng waved his sleeve and said, "No harm done, quickly go and cleanse the city."

"Yes, Supreme Spirit Master!"

"Understood!"

Lu Xiuzhu and the others responded in unison as they turned their furious gazes toward Zhang Liusheng, whose face was ashen. However, they did not act upon their killing intent, instead bypassing him and flying into the depths of Flowing Water City.

The reason Xu Disheng took action was because heavy casualties among the members of the Dawndusk Dao Alliance would affect his merit on the DaoIST Ranking.

The technique that Zhang Liusheng had cast, Origin-Returning Star Crusher, was immensely powerful, fueled by burning his very essence. It was impossible for those below the Primordial Spirit stage to withstand!

Yet, Xu Disheng, as a member of Spirit Race, wielded Spiritual Force to cast spells, which led to might of his techniques to be more than tenfold stronger than those cast by the human race's profound qi.

The Spiritual Force barrier he had used was a protective spell from the Deity Devouring Art known as the Jadeflower Spirit Screen. Bolstered by his Supreme Spiritual Root and the projection of the Ancient Supreme Bell in his Divine Core, the power of his spells was multiplied manifold. Such a formidable combination caused the defensive capabilities of Xu Disheng’s Jadeflower Spirit Screen to reach far beyond the scope of the Divine Core stage!

Zhang Liusheng, his spirit already shattered, sat down atop the roof of a majestic hall. He raised his head and saw the young Daoist approaching. His lips trembled, but he was unable to utter even a single word.

Having unleashed the Origin-Returning Star Crusher technique, Zhang Liusheng was already resigned to mutual destruction. Several of the Divine Core stage members of the Zhang Clan had been obliterated by the starlight just now. He couldn’t accept such an outcome, which dealt another irreparable blow to his spirit, leaving him on the brink of death.

His vision blurring, he watched as the young Daoist paused tens of meters above his head but did not land upon the hall he was sitting on. He instead flew off in a streak of light, but as he flew past, he casually waved his snow-white sleeve.

A storm of Spiritual Force emerged from his sleeve, sweeping down from the skies. Zhang Liusheng, who had already closed his eyes, felt the storm of Spiritual Force drawing nearer as he cynically thought to himself, "In my life, there was still so much undone, so many regrets…"

Xu Disheng did not look back at the collapsing hall behind him, soaring in a beam of light towards the depths of Flowing Water City. In the very center of the city, he sensed the aura of an ancient teleportation array.

"Supreme Spirit Master, something's wrong!"

Several Dao Foundation stage members of the Dawndusk Dao Alliance flew towards him urgently, their faces filled with anxiety.

Xu Disheng paused in his tracks and said, "Speak."

The one leading them, Li Tianxuan, was smart and quick-witted. He stepped forward and reported, "Exalted Supreme Spirit Master, we, a hundred Dao Foundation stage members, had previously followed Spirit Master Lu’s orders to do an initial cleanse of Flowing Water City. However, at the center of the city, we found the half-step Primordial Spirit stage Zhang Yuanliu along with the remaining members of the Zhang Clan activating an ancient teleportation array. They were guarded by several Divine Core stage cultivators, so we didn’t dare to approach and could only record from a distance using a recording jade slip." freewebn ovel.c om

Once activated, a teleportation array’s intense spatial transmission aura couldn’t be concealed. In the vast Human Realm, such spatial fluctuations were as conspicuous as a bonfire in the night.

Xu Disheng took the recording jade slip, glanced through it, then shattered it with a wave of Spiritual Force. "Lead the way," he instructed.

"Yes, Supreme Spirit Master!"

Li Tianxuan and the others wore looks of excitement. The chance to accompany a revered Supervising Spirit Master was an immense honor to these ordinary Dao Foundation stage cultivators.

Xu Disheng’s earlier use of the Blackwater Yin Lightning not only shattered the Yin-Yang City Protecting Formation, but also formed a boundless sea of lightning that had annihilated tens of thousands members of the Zhang Clan. This had instilled in them a deep obedience and reverence towards Xu Disheng, mixed in with a sense of awe.

In Flowing Water City, in the ancestral land of the Zhang family…

Lu Xiuzhu approached from the west of the city, having also received messages from other Dao Foundation stage cultivators. Accompanied by dozens, he hovered in the air, gazing at the ancient teleportation array, which was now half-activated, its intricate patterns glowing. His expression was grave.

Zhang Yuanliu, a half-step Primordial Spirit stage cultivator, was not an opponent Lu Xiuzhu could easily defeat. Even though he hailed from the Dawndusk Daoist Sect, he was considered among the most exceptional geniuses. Even with his Divine Core peak stage cultivation, defeating a half-step Primordial Spirit stage opponent would require considerable effort.

Moreover, the Zhang family elders around him were almost all at the peak of the Divine Core stage, representing the clan’s most elite force. They watched intently, their intention clearly to fully activate the ancient teleportation formation and leave the Dawndusk Territory as soon as possible.

Typical teleportation arrays consisted of two types. There were small-scale ones usually seen in sects which required little time to activate, like those in the Eight Mountains of the Shangqing Sacred Sect.

The second type was like this complex ancient teleportation array, which were cumbersome to activate and came with many restrictions, making them overall quite inconvenient.

Its only advantage was the great distance it could teleport, and the destination could either be directed or random. The Zhang Clan’s ancient teleportation array was of the random type, but it was still capable of allowing them to leave the Dawndusk Territory. 𝒻𝓇𝘦𝘦𝘸𝘦𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝑚

"Spirit Master Lu, surely we can’t just stand by and watch?" another Divine Core stage Spirit Master named Lu Chuan, who had also arrived with his followers, asked upon seeing Lu Xiuzhu and others silently standing around.

"What else can we do? Do you think you can defeat Zhang Yuanliu? Are the peak Divine Core stage Elders beside him just for show?" Lu Xiuzhu retorted coldly, not sparing him any face. "When we entered the city, Zhang Liusheng and the Divine Core stage members of the Zhang Clan seemed weak because of Supreme Spirit Master's overpowered lightning magic. But now, without Supreme Spirit Master here, what power do we have to stop these people?"

Embarrassed, Lu Chuan fell silent and turned to look towards the ancient teleportation array.

The aura fluctuations above the formation grew more intense, even causing a slight distortion in the surrounding space, indicating it was nearly fully activated.
