Fang Zhixing paused his breathing, a playful expression appearing on his face.

After a moment of contemplation, he asked, "I heard that Mu Chen Immortal Sect oversees the Heavenly Prison, is that true?"

Xia Guanxing waved his hand and said, "No, the Heavenly Prison is a crucial location of the Heavenly Court, under its jurisdiction.

However, there are many prison gates in the Heavenly Prison, and Mu Chen Immortal Sect is responsible for guarding one of them.

It's said that many fugitives and rebels in the Immortal Domain are mostly thrown into the Heavenly Prison by Mu Chen Immortal Sect after being captured.

Moreover, I heard that other Immortal Domains also have such prison gates; those who dare to challenge the authority of the Heavenly Court might be imprisoned forever, never to be reincarnated."

Fang Zhixing understood, raised his head, and said, "Ma Chengkong is dead, at this moment, Mu Chen Immortal Sect should realize his Soul Tablet is shattered, you need to flee quickly, let's go."

Xia Guanxing brightened his spirit and flew up together with Fang Zhixing, suggesting, "How about you? People from Shattered Star Sword Sect are outside to receive me, we can go together."

Fang Zhixing responded, "Okay, but I need to visit Yellow Bell Sect first."

Xia Guanxing's face changed and said, "There might not be enough time, Mu Chen Immortal Sect will soon notice your betrayal."

Fang Zhixing tilted his head and said, "No one knows I killed Ma Chengkong, they will only think you did it, I'm safe for now."

Xia Guanxing thought about it and agreed, "Then later, let's put on a show."

Fang Zhixing was pleased with such an arrangement.

Actually, he could directly kill Xia Guanxing to silence him, but keeping this person had undoubtedly more uses.

Soon, a sword light pierced through Phantom Spirit Fortress, flipping over the main building, turning the entire fortress into ruins, then left leisurely.

Fang Zhixing shouted in terror, "Xia Guanxing killed Elder Ma and ran away!"

"Ah?!"

Everyone was terrified and at a loss.

The old soldier was severely frightened, his soul almost leaving his body, standing frozen.

Only when Fang Zhixing reminded him did he come back to his senses, eagerly sending out a Sound Transmission Talisman to contact Mu Chen Immortal Sect.

In less than half a day!

Mu Chen Immortal Sect responded.

Given that Phantom Spirit Fortress had been destroyed, there was no need to continue guarding, allowing Yellow Bell Sect people to return home.

"Great, we can go home!"

Everyone was overjoyed, eager to return, quickly tidying up, and flew back to Yellow Bell Palace at the fastest speed.

Returning to the city was rather smooth, reaching there in less than two months.

Yellow Bell Palace still stood tall, even the last line of defense had been patched up, still usable.

Hua Manshuang, Little Purple, and others came out to greet them.

Xigou also ran out, a wreath around its neck.

At this moment, Xigou was no longer a mere Immortal Beast but the Immortal Dog that saved Yellow Bell Palace, a big hero, beloved by everyone, becoming the group pet.

Its tail was practically wagging up to the sky!

Fang Zhixing rolled his eyes, inviting them to a secret chamber, explaining everything in detail.

"This, Mu Chen Immortal Sect plans to sacrifice us?"

Hua Manshuang was greatly shocked, unable to believe it.

The dignified Mu Chen Immortal Sect, directly under the Heavenly Court, would actually do such an unethical thing? Where is the justice?

Xigou immediately transmitted, "Then what are we waiting for, let's run!"

Fang Zhixing paused briefly, then turned to Little Purple and said, "We need to flee, about to leave Wangwu Star Ring, what about you? Will you come with us or go to Sand Island Star to return to Lingyan Palace?"

Little Purple blinked and pondered, "With Wangwu Star Ring in such chaos, I suspect Lingyan Palace has long been relocated, impossible to wait there for me, I want to follow my benefactor."

"Tsk!"

Xigou immediately sneered, teasing, "This moth probably doesn't want to go home, just likes wandering outside."

Fang Zhixing replied, "Okay, then let's escape together."

Hua Manshuang said, "Yellow Bell Palace is so big, can't shrink it easily, how to take it away?"

Fang Zhixing decisively said, "If we can't take it, we'll leave it."

Hua Manshuang thought of something and choked, "Then what about those disciples of the Eight Divisions of Yellow Bell Sect?"

Fang Zhixing said indifferently, "If plans aren't secretive, they will fail; if too many people act together, it will be too conspicuous and attract attention.

Moreover, there must be spies of Mu Chen Immortal Sect within Yellow Bell Sect, we must be cautious, so we must leave silently."

Hua Manshuang took a breath sharply, her expression very unpleasant.

This means that she not only has to abandon the Wind God Department, but even the Hua Immortal Clan's people have to be abandoned.

But there's no other way.

Mu Chen Immortal Sect is too powerful; they only need to continually release evil things to exhaust Yellow Bell Sect completely.

Fang Zhixing cannot save everyone, nor has he ever felt that it was his responsibility.

He saves people based on whether he can do it, how much benefit it brings, and his mood.

With formidable enemies surrounding him and crises everywhere, Fang Zhixing naturally chooses self-preservation first.

If absolutely necessary, he would even abandon Hua Manshuang and Xigou without hesitation.

In short, under Mu Chen Immortal Sect's dark grasp, the pitiful weak ones are destined to suffer and be harmed.

Thinking of this, Hua Manshuang sighed: "Let Yellow Bell Sect fend for themselves!"

Then, Fang Zhixing went to the Treasure Vault to scrape together some things, and headed to the Book Collection Tower to take away some secret manuals.

Meanwhile, Hua Manshuang went to the Interstellar Teleportation Formation, damaging some parts to make it unable to function properly.

Once preparations were complete, Fang Zhixing, Hua Manshuang, Little Purple, and Xigou took advantage of the quiet night and headed into the endless void.

The two humans and two beasts traveled light and moved quickly, reaching the Phantom Spirit Fortress in just half a month.

"Xia Guanxing told me that Shattered Star Sword Sect's rendezvous point with him is near Purple Sun Star at the edge of the Star Ring; it's a purple sun, very conspicuous."

Fang Zhixing opened the Star Sea Map and confirmed it; at his speed, with Free Blood Wings, it might take less than twenty days to reach Purple Sun Star.

Hua Manshuang glanced at the ruined Phantom Spirit Fortress and sighed: "Beyond Phantom Spirit Fortress is basically a no-man's land; once past here, it's vast and unrestricted."

With that, they didn't pause and continued to fly forward.

In the blink of an eye, it was twenty-three days later!

Fang Zhixing flew forward, occasionally opening his Admirable Golden Eyes to scan in all directions.

On this day, he opened his eyes again, first looking straight ahead.

What he saw was astonishing!

"Stop!"

Fang Zhixing suddenly halted, reaching out to block Hua Manshuang.

"What's wrong?" Hua Manshuang quickly scanned the surroundings, finding nothing unusual.

Fang Zhixing gazed ahead and simply described what he saw: "Purple Sun Star is over there, but it's evenly split into two halves!"

Hua Manshuang's breath caught; planet explosions happen, but an even split into two halves must be man-made.

"To destroy a planet, one's cultivation must at least reach the Golden Immortal Realm."

Hua Manshuang couldn't help but become alert.

Fang Zhixing frowned: "It seems Xia Guanxing encountered strong enemies again while escaping to Purple Sun Star. We don't know if he got away?"

If Xia Guanxing was caught by Mu Chen Immortal Sect, then Fang Zhixing was likely exposed.

Suddenly, a rainbow light zoomed from the side.

Fang Zhixing immediately took out the Thousand-Autumn Bell, deploying space shielding to hide.

After a moment, the rainbow light flew past a hundred miles away.

Fang Zhixing saw clearly that the rainbow light was a pillar, with four people riding on it, resembling horse riders.

The pillar seemed to be some sort of Flying Immortal Treasure, its speed decent, gradually receding into the distance.

But in the next moment, a terrifying shockwave exploded from the direction of Purple Sun Star.

Fang Zhixing's pupils shrank, seeing a gigantic hand appear abruptly, traversing the void, and in a blink, closing in on the pillar, grabbing it!

Boom~

The pillar was directly crushed.

The four people fell into the giant hand, firmly caught.

"Please spare us, we were just passing by!" one person cried out in terror.

The giant hand slowly retreated, finally stopping before an inconspicuous meteorite.

The meteorite blurred for a moment, revealing a bald and burly man.

This man's appearance was scruffy, with a full beard, wearing a gray-white garment, revealing a large chest area, with abundant chest hair.

"Which sect are you four from?"

The bald burly man grinned, showing his missing teeth.
