Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, Fatty Venerable felt his hair stand on end, and a chill ran down his spine.
However, he was caught by Wang Yan's right hand, and the power of Demon Patterns in his body grew weaker and weaker, so even though he wanted to escape, he couldn't leave Wang Yan's Five Finger Mountain.
At this moment, Wang Yan grabbed Fatty Venerable's right arm, suddenly lifting it upwards, then swung it down heavily, slamming Fatty Venerable onto the ground.
Fatty Venerable weighed several hundred pounds, and when he was slammed down, the entire ground trembled slightly.
Fatty Venerable felt dizzy, as if his internal organs had shifted position.
But at this time, he also felt the hand gripping his throat loosen.
Fatty Venerable was delighted and, despite the severe pain, rolled away like a ball and got up, trying to escape toward the door.
However, as soon as he got up, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his right foot.
Fatty Venerable quickly turned his head to look and saw that half of the broken Golden Spear of the Roc had stabbed his right foot into the ground.
Every movement intensified the pain, and for a moment, Fatty Venerable didn't dare to move, looking at Wang Yan with terror.
However, Wang Yan no longer paid him any attention and instead turned to Beiming Xue.
At this moment, Beiming Xue was still bound by Fatty Venerable's Golden Circle magical treasure, struggling but unable to break free.
Wang Yan raised his hand and lightly tapped each of the three golden circles, causing them to loosen and fall to the ground with a clang.
Seeing this, Fatty Venerable was startled.
Because he clearly felt that with Wang Yan's tap, the power of Demon Patterns he imprinted on the three golden circles disappeared, and he could no longer sense them.
Earlier, though Fatty Venerable was caught by Wang Yan, he still had some resistance in his heart.
But now, he understood the gap between himself and Wang Yan was not small at all.
At this moment, Wang Yan helped Beiming Xue up, who appeared in pain, and said, "Xue'er, I'm sorry you had to suffer."
Tears welled up in Beiming Xue's eyes.
Upon hearing Wang Yan's words, she couldn't help but let the tears fall.
These were tears of happiness for Wang Yan's recovery and relief at surviving the ordeal.
"Brother Wang Yan, your return is the best thing of all. Don't frighten me like that again."
Wang Yan gently embraced Beiming Xue, lightly patting her back, and spoke softly, "I won't. I promise I won't again."
Experiencing Wang Yan's familiar and warm embrace, Beiming Xue couldn't control herself and sobbed on his shoulder.
Although Wang Yan had his back to them, completely without defense, none of the surrounding people dared to entertain the thought of ambushing him.
After a moment of warmth, Wang Yan released Beiming Xue and turned to Duobao.
Duobao was severely injured and could barely sit on the ground, unable to stand.
Seeing Wang Yan approaching, Duobao excitedly nodded with all the strength he could muster.
Wang Yan leaned down, placed his palm on Duobao's shoulder, and patted three times.
Duobao immediately felt a strong power of Demon Patterns infused into his body, healing more than half of his injuries.
Duobao couldn't help but admire Wang Yan in his heart, amazed at how, despite his serious injuries, Wang Yan still possessed such concentrated demon power.
After finishing these tasks, Wang Yan slowly turned back around.
However, at this moment, there was no one inside or outside the palace.
Fatty Venerable was gone, Li Ji and his group were gone, and all the Demon Cultivators were gone.
On the palace floor, only the broken spear that had injured Fatty Venerable remained, covered in blood, still embedded in the ground.
Beiming Xue spoke up, "Brother Wang Yan, they've all fled."
Wang Yan snorted coldly and said, "In my Qinrong Palace, no one can escape. Shifting Form and Position—"
With these words, all the palaces within Qinrong Palace shifted their positions, changing direction entirely.
Meanwhile, Li Ji and the Li Clan members, Venerable Fat and Thin, along with other Demon Cultivators, had already fled into the second palace hall.
Seeing the first palace hall ahead, beyond which lay the gate of Qinrong Palace, they thought they could escape.
Like stray dogs, they rushed into the palace hall.
However, as soon as they entered the palace, they immediately halted, staring wide-eyed at what lay before them.
Because before them stood Wang Yan and his group.
Their first reaction was that Wang Yan was much faster than them and had caught up to them.
But when they saw the broken spear in front of Wang Yan, stained with blood, they realized it wasn't simply that.
They hadn't escaped toward the gate of Qinrong Palace but had instead run in the opposite direction, ending up back in the third palace hall.
Though unclear on how they could have run in a straight line and ended up in the wrong direction.
Now, they had no time to think, and all turned to flee the hall again, escaping outside.
Others managed to escape, but just as Fatty Venerable stepped outside the hall's door, he heard a sharp wind whistling, followed by a "plop" sound, and then a scream as his large body fell at the hall entrance.
"Save me—" a voice cried out, sounding like a pig being slaughtered.
Skinny Venerable turned back to look and saw another half of the broken spear stabbing into Fatty Venerable's left foot, pinning him to the ground.
Although Skinny Venerable wanted to turn back to save him, he saw Wang Yan walking out of the palace.
Seeing this, Skinny Venerable dared not turn back and fled directly.
Fatty Venerable also turned back, seeing Wang Yan approaching, was terrified, and though his left foot was in excruciating pain, he desperately tried to pull his feet free.
But the broken spear was lodged between two foot bones, effectively wedging it in place, and the more anxious Fatty Venerable became, the less able he was to extract it.
With Wang Yan drawing closer and closer, Fatty Venerable gritted his teeth, and a long knife suddenly appeared in his hand.
However, holding the knife, Fatty Venerable did not attack Wang Yan but instead chopped at his left ankle.
With a "slash" sound, the knife severed Fatty Venerable's left foot.
Though he lost a foot, Fatty Venerable showed no hesitation, immediately getting up and hopping on one leg, chasing after Skinny Venerable and the others.
Though his left foot was gone and a large wound remained on his right foot, continuously bleeding, Fatty Venerable paid no heed to the pain in his desperate flight.
They stumbled blindly across the second palace hall, fleeing forward once more.
Initially, after passing the second palace hall, they should have reached the first palace hall,
But as they arrived before the palace, they froze because still standing there was Wang Yan.
This time, however, there was an extra broken spear before the palace, with a severed foot attached to it.
