[The Ah Dou who appeared before you was already an Extreme Terrain Realm cultivator.]
[He looked to be in his twenties or thirties, not showing his age at all - any human who can cultivate to late-stage Qi Transformation normally has a lifespan of a thousand years.]
[His immortal root was also first-grade, but when you calculated it, under the Torch Society's full support, his cultivation speed wasn't exactly fast. At least it didn't match a first-grade immortal root.]
[But that might have something to do with his special physique and special soul.]
[Sun and Moon Sacred Physique: innate destiny, one marked by fate.]
[Sun and Moon Sacred Soul: above sun and moon, a soul bound by destiny.]
[Another description you couldn't quite understand.]
[Similar to the Nine Heavens Soul Spirit.]
[Although Ah Dou's cultivation speed wasn't particularly fast, his combat ability was beyond question.]
[Ask why? It's just Sacred Physique ability.]
["Ah Dou, your hands..."]
[You noticed that the golden characters "Sun" and "Moon" on Ah Dou's palms were gone.]
["I mastered a Divine Art and concealed them."]
["The Torch Society's base was destroyed. I thought you'd been captured, but I didn't expect you to escape."]
["It was Li Lingyue who saved me."]
[So Li Lingyue had already been on Vermilion Violet Star all along.]
[The problem was that this first-tier star was simply too massive, making it nearly impossible to run into her by chance.]
[Ah Dou helped break apart the shackles on your body, mainly by using heavy punches to disable those Spiritual Treasures.]
[From Ah Dou's style of doing things, you felt that although he hadn't spent much time with you, he'd deeply absorbed your teachings.]
["If I, Jin Hai, let the three of you take my important prisoner away today, then I don't deserve to keep my seat as Deputy Director of the Peace Bureau!"]
[Jin Hai's voice came from the sky.]
[His domain also expanded at this moment, covering all of Haosong City.]
[Everyone in the city, whether cultivator or civilian, had interpersonal threads sprouting from their bodies.]
[These threads were guided and manipulated by Jin Hai, flying toward the edges of the city.]
[Some threads merged together, transforming into thick, rope-like cables of color, then firmly pierced into the earth below.]
["Bang bang bang!!"]
[The tops of these cables converged at a single point in the air.]
[Jin Hai used the interpersonal threads of the entire city to create a cage that sealed it off.]
[The terrifying pressure of an Immortal King bore down on everyone.]
[This absolute suppression from a difference in realm made things unbearable for you, the Sword Lord, Li Lingyue, and Ah Dou alike.]
[If not for your "Leader Aura" being active, the situation would be far worse right now.]
["Ah Dou, you can't take me away. Just save yourselves."]
["Since we've made our move, we've already decided to live and die together!"]
[You were ready to accept your fate, but seeing these old friends fighting desperately for you, even knowing the odds were slim, there was no choice but to go all out!]
["Alright, live and die together!"]
[At this moment, time seemed to rewind one hundred and forty-three years, to the day you carried Ah Dou on your back and fought your way out of the Star Harbor on Blazing Star.]
[It was just too bad that Ah Dou was now past six years old, no longer meeting the trigger conditions for "Zilong! Zilong!"]
[And in a place where gods and immortals were duking it out, there was no way you could find a child under six years old either.]
[You first activated the Three-Headed race's talent, "Three Heads and Six Arms."]
[Then you opened the Pot Heaven space. Like Doraemon's pocket, your six hands continuously pulled out all sorts of immortal cultivation resources and treasures from inside.]
[If you couldn't fight your way out today, what was the point of hoarding all these years of accumulation?]
[However, the fact remained that you were outnumbered and outmatched. That reality wouldn't change just because of your soaring fighting spirit.]
[The execution ground guards had suffered heavy casualties, but there were still six thousand of them, and none of them were weak.]
[The battle between the four of you had already engulfed the entire city.]
[The city's residents were the ones who truly suffered.]
[Dead were the dead, and dead were the dead.]
[But there was no need for guilt - whatever misfortune befell the mortals was brought upon them by Jin Hai, not by you.]
[While the four of you were locked in bitter struggle, suddenly, several hundred "mortals" in the city swung their blades at the execution ground guards.]
[They were clearly not mortals at all, their cultivation levels were far from weak.]
[Catching the guards completely off guard, even quite a few Transcendent Realm cultivators among them met their end.]
[Ji Wuqing tore off the black veil from her head and stood atop the corpses of several guards, laughing heartily.]
["Chen Yi! Did you think I wasn't coming to save you? Surprised? Unexpected?"]
[It wasn't just Ji Wuqing - Ji Baiming had come too.]
[The moment this eighth-stage Immortal Lord made his move, furious waves swept across the entire city, instantly crushing a swath of the enemy forces.]
[These several hundred people who had infiltrated the city alongside Ji Wuqing and Ji Baiming to rescue you - these were presumably the fish Jin Hai had been trying to catch - members of the Torch Society!]
[You weren't happy that Ji Wuqing had come.]
["You fool! I'm not even a member of the Torch Society! Why did you come save me!"]
[Ji Wuqing said while hacking down enemies.]
["Don't worry, these people aren't from the Torch Society, they're all my friends!
Hearing that I was going to rescue you, they stepped up out of loyalty. Is that not allowed?
Of course, there really are some brothers from our society mixed in, they also wanted to take this chance to kill these bastards and their lapdogs, and avenge our base!"]
[With your numbers suddenly swelling, and several Immortal Lord level powerhouses added to the mix, the tide of battle immediately turned.]
[Jin Hai still didn't make his move, as if waiting for something.]
[You all gathered together, tore open a gap in the guards' frenzied assault, and reached the edge of the city.]
[Blocking your path was the cable cage Jin Hai had created.]
[Ji Wuqing unleashed several killing moves and Divine Arts with her precious sword, only to find it nearly impossible to break through.]
["Damn it, an Immortal King's methods are too strong. I'm afraid we can't break it open!"]
[You were just about to try yourself when the Sword Lord descended.]
["Let me try."]
[You and the Sword Lord exchanged a glance, nodded to each other, no need for words.]
[In truth, within this timeline, your bond with the Sword Lord wasn't particularly deep.]
[You had met at the Starry Conference in the Starry Domains, fought together to destroy the Ancient Wasteland Secret Realm, and that was about it.]
[Giving peaches, battling the Demon Tribe, fighting the Dragon-Men - those all happened in simulations, and this Sword Lord knew nothing of them.]
[Yet he still came to save you.]
[The Sword Lord stood before the cage, utterly motionless, like a sculpture.]
[You all held off the enemy for him, buying him time.]
[A moment later, the Sword Lord suddenly struck, ninety-nine swords thrusting out simultaneously.]
["Boom!!"]
[The cage that Jin Hai had woven from interpersonal threads was sliced open with a gap by the Sword Lord!]
[You couldn't help but admire him.]
[When it came to breaking through seals, the Sword Lord was still the undisputed authority!]
["Alright, the game is over. You don't actually think you can escape, do you?"]
[Eight white unicorn celestial horses pulled a pure gold four-wheeled chariot along a radiant golden road, driving down from the sky.]
[Jin Hai sat upright upon it, looking down at all of you with contempt.]
