Correspondingly, once they mature and form a vine battleground, they are also much stronger than the Witch Series. Even a cultivator at the late stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, once entangled by the Vine Array, would find it difficult to escape for a while.

Of course.

It’s only difficult to escape for a while; it’s almost impossible to trap and kill them directly. Given some time, cultivators at the late stage of the Spirit Platform Realm can eventually break free and escape.

This Iron Python Vine battleground, Wang Shouzhe has been cultivating for many years, waiting for this day.

"The two of you are quite skilled; if the intelligence I’ve gathered is not mistaken, you should be the elders Huangfu Jinning and Huangfu Jinyu of the Changning Huangfu Family, correct?"

Amidst the chaotic dance of vines, Wang Shouzhe walked out slowly.

His expression was calm, and though he was in the midst of the frenzied forest of pythons, his demeanor was as leisurely as if he were strolling in a garden, relaxed and free.

Where he stepped, the surrounding vines retreated automatically, with many vines even prostrating themselves on the ground, as if in submission.

This scene further highlighted his formidable aura.

"Wang Shouzhe!!"

Huangfu Jinning and Huangfu Jinyu, the two elders of the Huangfu Family, were shocked, and their faces changed color simultaneously.

At this point, how could they not understand?

They’ve been tricked!

They’ve clearly fallen into a pre-arranged trap!

Immediately, while fending off the vines, they both fixed their gazes on the middle-aged man in gorgeous clothing — Hidden Fish!

"Traitor!"

"How dare you betray the Huangfu Family?!"

Their anger was overflowing, and they both cursed vehemently.

However, the middle-aged man seemed oblivious and instead took a few steps back, leisurely cupping his hands to Wang Shouzhe and saying, "Reporting to Patriarch Shouzhe, I have brought the two big fish according to your instructions."

"Not bad." Wang Shouzhe nodded slightly, "In that case, let us proceed according to our previous agreement. I will give you a generous reward and send someone to relocate you and your family to another county for a new life. You should have heard, I am a man of my word, always keeping my promises."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man was greatly moved and made a deep bow to Wang Shouzhe: "Thank you, Patriarch Shouzhe."

Having said that, he also bowed to the two Huangfu Family elders, saying, "My apologies to the two elders. Since my identity was inadvertently exposed, my family came under control. For the survival of my family, I had no choice but to betray the Huangfu Family."

"Good, good, good!"

The two Huangfu Family elders, furious to the extreme, laughed: "Wang Shouzhe, you truly have a talent! But if you think you can capture us with just some vines, you severely underestimate us!"

With that said, they both burst into action, madly cutting down the vines in an attempt to escape.

"Truly worthy of elders at the late stage of the Spirit Platform Realm, the Celestial Human Family indeed has a deep heritage, with masters gathered within the clan." Wang Shouzhe was still unhurried, speaking in a calm and composed manner, "To show my respect to the two of you, I’ve prepared a special gift for each of you."

After speaking, he called towards a side room, "Ancestor, these two enemies are yours to deal with personally."

As soon as he finished speaking,

a woman flew out from the side room.

She was clad in white Black Tortoise Martial Attire, her long hair like frost and snow, icy white, and her face veiled. She was the Ping’an Wang Family’s foremost ancestor, Wang Longyan, Ancestor Longyan.

As soon as she appeared, the surrounding air instantly turned much colder.

"Wang Longyan!"

The faces of the two Huangfu Family elders involuntarily changed.

Back in the day, she was renowned in the Changning Guard. If not for that incident more than sixty years ago, she might have already been a peak figure of the Spirit Platform Realm.

Even so, in recent years, she has risen to fame again, having personally slain Mr. Yin of the Yin Sha Sect not long ago, and is now at the height of her fame.

In normal times, even in a one-on-one scenario against Wang Longyan, they wouldn’t dare claim victory, let alone now when they’re entangled by vines and their combat power greatly diminished; how could they not change color?

Wang Longyan’s cold gaze swept over their faces, and then she snorted coldly, shaking her hand to throw something out.

"Swoosh!"

A flag, filled with a sinister aura, floated in the air, swelling in the wind, billowing with the night breeze.

Wave after wave of evil qi emanated from the flag, swirling like a sinister wind, quickly filling the surrounding space.

"Yin Sha Shura Banner!"

The eyes of the two Huangfu Family elders were filled with horror.

Being seasoned and experienced, having seen and known much, and having complex ties with the Yin Sha Sect, they naturally recognized this item at a glance.

Although it’s just a replica of that famous Divine Power Spirit Treasure, it is a very rare middle-grade spiritual artifact with extremely powerful features.

Even in the Celestial Human Family Huangfu, there are only about three middle-grade spiritual artifacts. At least, elders like them, who have retired and whose lifespans are nearing their end, have no qualifications to wield such artifacts.

What makes the Yin Sha Shura Banner most terrifying is its ability to whip up waves of Yin Sha’s evil qi, enveloping a range of several tens of meters, creating an environment perfect for disciples of the Yin Sha Sect to display their strengths, while unsuitable for ordinary Black Tortoise Cultivators to battle in.

This makes it even more troublesome than ordinary middle-grade spiritual artifacts.

"I’ll let you experience the viciousness of Yin Sha’s malevolent poison."

Wang Longyan’s eyes were filled with intense hatred as she pinched a finger technique to activate the Yin Sha Shura Banner.

If it weren’t for the Celestial Person Huangfu Family secretly scheming back then, which led to the deaths of her grandfather Ancestor Zhou Xuan and other clan members like nephew Qiong Yuan, the Ping’an Wang Family would not have fallen to its earlier condition.
