After the beautiful Wen Shan brought over the Star Map and Star Constellation Scripture, Liu Zixuan and the others began to walk toward the outside of the Ghost Market.

The battles within the Ghost Market had come to an end, but outside the Ghost Market, it was only just beginning!

Outside the Ghost Market, on the edge of the Ghost Valley.

As soon as Liu Zixuan and the others appeared, Gu Yu and Mo Chengfeng ran over from one side.

"How is it going?" Liu Zixuan asked.

Mo Chengfeng pointed inside the Ghost Valley, "That person has gone deep into the canyon, and three groups have already gone in, all seemingly trying to seize the Guiding Order."

Gu Yu added, "Each of those three groups has Martial Artists with an aura similar to yours. Should we still go in?"

Liu Zixuan laughed, "Of course we should go; even if we can’t get the Guiding Order, we should at least see what’s happening. Besides, isn’t it said that the depths of the Ghost Valley are very peculiar? We should go and have a look."

With that, everyone headed toward the depths of the Ghost Valley.

The further they went, the eerier it became. It was already midnight, and the surrounding canyon was full of forests. The faint moonlight and gusts of wind made it all the more eerie.

Before long, they heard sounds of fighting from their front-left and hurriedly gathered to watch from behind a large rock.

"The man still wearing a mask is the one who bought the Guiding Order. His tone was odd back then, and now he’s moving this way. It’s probably someone from a foreign sect," Mo Chengfeng muttered.

Liu Zixuan raised an eyebrow, "But no foreign Martial Artists have ever participated in the Elemental Tournament."

"Who knows what they’re thinking," Jiang Yunxuan laughed. "Besides, given the current situation, he probably won’t make it back to his own country."

"That Martial Artist is not simple," Liu Zixuan mumbled, frowning.

He could tell that the masked foreign Martial Artist exuded a powerful aura. Judging by the Realm, he at least had the strength at the Peak of the Imperial Realm. Although the two men standing opposite him had similar Realms, their auras could not compare to the foreign Martial Artist’s.

It seemed that this foreign Martial Artist’s Cultivation Technique was quite unique!

As they were talking, the battle inside had already begun.

"His Cultivation Technique is so peculiar," Jiang Yunxuan observed, watching the foreign Martial Artist move. "Each move seems soft and weak, yet the Qi strikes directly at crucial points."

"Shh, someone’s coming!"

At this moment, Liu Zixuan quickly gestured for them to remain silent.

Sure enough, from another direction, five men strode directly out, quickly surrounding the Martial Artists who were engaged in combat.

The foreign Martial Artist clearly sensed an incoming threat. Instantly, he leaped into the air, and two beams shot from his hands, directly killing the two Martial Artists on the spot!

"So strong! At the same Realm, to take on two by himself, he must have a unique Cultivation Technique like Brother Xuan," Huzi commented.

Liu Zixuan nodded and didn’t refute because he, too, could feel that the foreign Martial Artist was indeed very strong.

As the two Martial Artists fell, the five who appeared afterward had already arrived, surrounding the foreign Martial Artist.

"Your Cultivation Technique is unique, but seeing the current situation, you’d best hand over the Guiding Order and spare yourself," demanded a middle-aged man leading them, whose overwhelming aura enveloped the foreign Martial Artist.

"Humph!"

The foreign Martial Artist snorted coldly, a simple snort that directly shattered the invisible Qi!

Speaking in broken Star Sea language, he said, "The Guiding Order was won by my skill, why should I hand it over to you!"

"Because what you’re holding is an item of our Star Sea!" The middle-aged man’s eyes narrowed, murderous intent emerging.

"You Star Sea Martial Artists couldn’t win the Guiding Order, so you’re resorting to petty methods to steal it?" The foreign Martial Artist sneered, "Handing it over is impossible, if you want it, come and get it!"

"How ungrateful!"

The middle-aged man shouted coldly, "Take him down!"

With those words, the four Martial Artists behind the middle-aged man drew their weapons and attacked the foreign Martial Artist.

The battle ignited in an instant, with the four Martial Artists working in perfect harmony. Although slightly lower in Realm than the foreign Martial Artist, their coordination kept them from being outmatched.

Liu Zixuan watched their moves intently, furrowing his brows, "That Cultivation Technique is so familiar."

"You recognize them?" Jiang Yunxuan asked.

Liu Zixuan pondered for a moment, then suddenly slapped his forehead, "They’re from the Gu Family!"

He suddenly remembered that the Cultivation Technique used by the four Martial Artists now was the same technique used by Gu Wenqiu during the life and death duel!

"So, despite being one of the Eight Great Powers, the Gu Family also covets the Guiding Order," Jiang Yunxuan laughed, "The Emperor Realm is not like other Realms, and even a powerful family can’t guarantee a breakthrough without outside help. The Gu Family is probably playing it safe."

"Since it’s the Gu Family..." Liu Zixuan squinted his eyes, "Then I might as well fight for it too."

"You’re going to act?" Jiang Yunxuan’s mouth twitched a few times. "Haven’t you caused them enough trouble already? After crippling their second young master, now you want to take the Guiding Order, they’ll surely fight to the death!"

"Even if I don’t take the Guiding Order, will the Gu Family spare me?" Liu Zixuan replied with meaningful intent.

Jiang Yunxuan was momentarily speechless.

Crippling the Gu Family’s second young master meant destroying their hope, as Gu Wenqiu was considered the third person in the Gu Family with the potential to reach the Emperor Realm. With Liu Zixuan having taken him down, the reputation they’ve built over the years would vanish into thin air.

Without the Guiding Order, they would likely also go after Liu Zixuan!

Liu Zixuan’s lips curled into a smile, "Since I’ve already offended them, I might as well offend them to the extreme. Half-hearted measures benefit no one!"

"Look, that Martial Artist’s Realm seems to have changed!" At this point, Huzi pointed to the front.

Everyone looked over and saw the foreign Martial Artist’s aura suddenly surge. He had advanced from the Peak of the Imperial Realm to Half-Step Emperor Realm, and at some point, a very unique sharp blade appeared in his hand.

The four Martial Artists were already lying on the ground, barely breathing, seriously injured!

"Such impudence, daring to harm my Gu Family’s disciples!"

Seeing this situation, the middle-aged man from the Gu Family dared not delay and immediately moved toward the foreign Martial Artist.

However, at that very moment, something happened that shocked everyone present.

The foreign Martial Artist unexpectedly pulled the Guiding Order from his pouch and tossed it toward Liu Zixuan and the others...
