Whizz, whizz, whizz.

Wan Jianchen raised both hands, sending out several round, black objects towards Lin Fei.

The round, black objects didn't shoot directly at Lin Fei. Instead, they shot to several positions within a two-meter radius around him.

Then, bang, bang, bang, the sound was like grenades exploding, instantly releasing a large amount of white smoke.

Wan Jianchen threw out several Netherworld-made smoke bombs, and the smoke they released was highly toxic.

The white smoke expanded rapidly, engulfing the area within ten meters where Lin Fei stood.

As the white smoke shrouded Lin Fei, Wan Jianchen immediately flew away from the Great Wall, fleeing towards the hills below.

Several Netherworld experts followed closely, escaping alongside him.

Similarly, seeing Wan Jianchen throw the smoke bombs and escape, Jiang Bu'er and his group of four quickly fled as well.

On the beacon tower, Li Guang, Leng Ying, and Deng Ziyu watched them escape, and felt secretly anxious. Lin Fei was engulfed in smoke, and Wan Jianchen and Jiang Bu'er had escaped just like that; they found it somewhat unfortunate.

At this moment, a fleeting shadow darted out from the white smoke, disappearing from the view of Li Guang and the others in an instant.

Before the shadow vanished, a distant voice left a message for the three: "Go back to the Chen family's villa. I'll join you once I've dealt with them."

It took a moment for Li Guang and the others to come to their senses, recognizing the voice as Lin Fei's.

Lin Fei went to pursue Wan Jianchen, Jiang Bu'er, and the others?

The faces of Li Guang and the others immediately lit up with joy. This meant Wan Jianchen's smoke bombs hadn't stopped Lin Fei.

Knowing Lin Fei's prowess completely overwhelmed Wan Jianchen and Jiang Bu'er's group, Li Guang and the others were naturally filled with confidence in his pursuit.

Li Guang said to Leng Ying and Deng Ziyu, "Since Lin Fei asked us to wait for him at the villa, let's head there and await his triumphant return."

Leng Ying and Deng Ziyu nodded.

Then, Li Guang and Leng Ying each grabbed one of Deng Ziyu's arms, flying away from the beacon tower towards the Chen family's villa at the foot of the mountain.

Swish, swish, swish.

Wan Jianchen led several Netherworld experts, landing on the middle of a mountainside far from the Great Wall, where there was a clearing among hundreds of rocks.

After Wan Jianchen and his group landed, Jiang Bu'er and the others descended as well.

Following their escape from the Great Wall, Jiang Bu'er's group of four had been trailing Wan Jianchen, fleeing for their lives.

"Looks like my smoke bombs worked, Lin Fei hasn't pursued us." Wan Jianchen breathed a sigh of relief, looking towards the shadowy silhouette of the distant Great Wall.

The Netherworld experts also showed a relaxed expression on their faces.

They couldn't deny their fear of Lin Fei's abilities.

Jiang Bu'er and his group also let out a quiet sigh, resting on the rocks.

Recalling the gigantic hand shadow towering tens of meters high, they shivered at the thought.

"Sect Leader Wan, can you discern the level of Lin Fei's strength?" Jiang Bu'er turned to Wan Jianchen and asked.

Wan Jianchen shook his head, "I don't know. Even with my father's Martial Venerable seventh-level power, the Martial Venerable aura can't materialize a shadow over ten meters high. This giant hand shadow of Lin Fei's, spanning several dozen meters, is truly unprecedented."

There was another thing Wan Jianchen hadn't voiced: Thankfully, they fled quickly, or they might not have survived.

"Sect Leader Wan, what about the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, what should we do?" Jiang Bu'er probed thoughtfully towards Wan Jianchen.

Wan Jianchen wore a forlorn expression, "Preserving our lives is paramount now; how can we think of the Martial Saint Heart Sutra?"

Jiang Bu'er nodded repeatedly, "Indeed, indeed, with Lin Fei's terrifying martial skills, our priority is to survive."

However, both harbored the hope that the other would give up on the Martial Saint Heart Sutra. This way, they could return to seek help from powerful figures behind them to obtain it.

"Sect Leader Wan, I am grateful for your help just now. I'll remember it always. We must take our leave now." Jiang Bu'er clasped his fists towards Wan Jianchen, displaying a grateful demeanor.

Of course, Jiang Bu'er's gratitude wasn't genuine. With so many masters from the Five Gates and Ten Sects killed by Wan Jianchen and the Netherworld experts, Jiang Bu'er and his group lacked the absolute certainty to defeat him.

Hence, they didn't rip their facade then, but Jiang Bu'er's group was resolute to avenge their fallen sect members in the future.

"No need for formality, Sect Leader Jiang. Be cautious returning to Jiangnan Province; you never know if Lin Fei might cause you trouble on the way. If it's too dangerous, you can come to the desert to find us in Netherworld, and we'll surely help you." Wan Jianchen said sincerely to Jiang Bu'er.

Jiang Bu'er thought inwardly: Everyone knows Netherworld is ruthless. I'd die if I went there!

"Thank you, Sect Leader Wan, for your kindness. We'll find a way to avoid Lin Fei." Jiang Bu'er said with feigned courtesy.

"Alright, we're also heading back to the desert." Wan Jianchen said, about to move on.

"Safe travels, Sect Leader Wan."

"Farewell."

"Farewell."

Just as Wan Jianchen and Jiang Bu'er were about to leave, a cold voice suddenly echoed: "Leaving so soon? Planning to go back to call some powerful figure to deal with me?"

Startled by the voice, Wan Jianchen and Jiang Bu'er hurriedly looked towards its source, only to see a figure standing by the wind atop the lush branches of a tall pine.

Illuminated by the moonlight, it was none other than Lin Fei.

"Lin Fei!~~~" Wan Jianchen and Jiang Bu'er exclaimed simultaneously.

Everyone became tense immediately, as if facing a formidable enemy.

Lin Fei's lips curled into a smile, looking at Wan Jianchen, "Wan Jianchen, if you don't want to die, tell me who sent you to seek the Martial Saint Heart Sutra?"

Wan Jianchen suddenly sneered, "Lin Fei, you'll never know who. Even if you kill me, I won't tell you. And if you do kill me, that person will surely avenge me by killing you."

Lin Fei nodded, "Alright, then there's nothing else I need to ask."

Next, Lin Fei turned his gaze to Jiang Bu'er and the others, "Why did you cause Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao to jump off a cliff back then?"

"Lin Fei, I was deceived by Duan Xing, who said all the heroes under heaven coveted the Martial Arts Holy Scripture, the Martial Saint Heart Sutra, so I came to the Capital City. It was Duan Xing who tricked me." Jiang Bu'er hurriedly defended himself.

"Then why did the Five Gates and Ten Sects come to the capital for the Martial Saint Heart Sutra this time?" Lin Fei asked with a smile.

However, Jiang Bu'er and his companions found Lin Fei's smile chilling.

"This time, we were deceived by the martial arts families in the Capital City. They said their patriarchs died unfairly, and wanted us to seek justice." Jiang Bu'er said with an innocent look.

Lin Fei nodded, "Hmm, I see. So, it's my mistake."

"No, no, it's not Young Master Lin's fault; it's ours!" Jiang Bu'er quickly said.

"There's no need to apologize to me. You caused the deaths of Duan Mengyu and Lin Yunxiao, and my friend Liu Wei also died at the hands of the Netherworld. So whether you admit it or not, you all must pay in blood. Farewell." Lin Fei said indifferently.

Both Jiang Bu'er and Wan Jianchen tensed, feeling a sense of impending doom.

Rumble.

The air vibrated.

Then, in mid-air, a massive palm shadow suddenly appeared, emanating a vast aura and infinite power, exerting crushing pressure towards Jiang Bu'er, Wan Jianchen, and their group.

The giant palm shadow descended like a mountain.

Jiang Bu'er, Wan Jianchen, and others let out cries of despair, "No!..."
