Lin Han, relying on the Nanming Leaving Fire Sword and Xuan Guang Ruler, took on the Red-haired Ancestor alone.

After a few rounds, he realized he truly couldn't defeat this elder from the Southern Border, so he feigned a move and suddenly attacked, breaking Xin Chenzi's Magical Treasure, and urged Shi Sheng to quickly use the Two Realms Token to take everyone away.

Shi Sheng reacted extremely quickly, immediately waving the Two Realms Token, which turned into a blue light column wrapping everyone inside, and with the sound of thunder, it shot towards the distant sky.

This Two Realms Token was a minor Magical Treasure casually refined by Jile Perfected Master Li Jingxu years ago in Lu Min's house.

It was specifically capable of twisting space, crossing through the opponent's Array blockade. Later, Shi Feiyang taught Shi Sheng how to recast it, enhancing its power and making it even more versatile. Not only could it be used to escape, but also for traveling.

A golden light column shot directly into the sky, and in an instant, they were a hundred miles away.

Watching the disappearing golden light, the Red-haired Ancestor felt a moment of hesitation.

Did he really want to pursue them?

According to his usual temperament, anyone who dared to kill his favorite disciple and many of his followers would be chased to the ends of the earth for revenge, never resting until his desire for vengeance was satisfied.

But at this moment, he didn't want to pursue because he knew once he did, there was no turning back.

His moment of doom was approaching!

However, his hesitation lasted only a few moments, and he knew that if he let these youngsters get away, Elder Kuzhu would not let him off either. There was no choice; this was the karma he had created.

Without Elder Kuzhu, he would have died hundreds of years ago; having obtained his physical body, he had been the ancestor of the Southern Border for hundreds of years, and now that calamity was upon him, there was no escape.

In the past, the Jile Perfected Master's arrangement of the Cosmic Six Strange, two Demon Cult Sect Hierarchs, and four Independent Immortals were all extremely radical in nature, and their strikes ruthlessly deadly.

If he followed Elder Kuzhu's instructions, perhaps he would only need to meet his doom with his physical body and might have a chance for a reincarnation through Soldier's Disintegration.

Otherwise, by angering that old creature, he would certainly end up with both body and soul destroyed!

The Red-haired Ancestor thought to himself and had already utilized the technique of External Body, creating another Red-haired Ancestor who appeared hundreds of miles away and intercepted Shi Sheng and others.

The golden light from Shi Sheng's Two Realms Token was intercepted head-on by the Heavenly Demon Blood Transformation Divine Saber, the Demon Blade's crimson edge splitting the golden light apart, and Situ Ping released ten Geng Metal Sword Qi to entangle the Demon Blade, but before they could clash, they were cleaved by the blade light.

Lin Han urgently unleashed his Nanming Leaving Fire Sword, knowing that except for his own Immortal Sword, nothing else could withstand the Demon Blade wielded by the Red-haired Ancestor.

He achieved Human Sword Unity to block the Red-haired Ancestor and shouted to Shi Sheng, "Quickly take them away and go to Baiyang Mountain to find Master!"

Shi Sheng hurriedly activated the Two Realms Token again, releasing a golden light and changing direction, taking four people with him, only to face yet another appearance of a Red-haired Ancestor moments after they started moving. The Ancestor shot out torrents of five-colored smoke that surged like a tide.

This was the Five Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma he had concocted.

This substance was originally the extremely poisonous miasma accumulated over millions of years on Lush Peach Mountain in the Southern Border.

Once, Bai Guyi and his wife Ling Xuehong went to the Southern Border for medicine gathering and accidentally encountered the miasma, nearly causing Ling Xuehong to die on the spot, Bai Guyi unable to save her. Ultimately, it was the Red-haired Ancestor who saw them, took out Immortal Herbs, and saved her life.

Later, the Red-haired Ancestor collected these miasma and refined it into a Magical Treasure which, upon release, emitted clouds of multi-color smoke silk, at first glance resembling the Heavenly Five Lustful Silk, but actually possessing many other marvelous uses.

With a wave of the Red-haired Ancestor's hand, balls of colorless miasma burst open under the blue sky, each expanding rapidly and shooting out millions of extremely fine strands of colorful smoke, amongst which specifically tens of strands wrapped around like poisonous snakes and python.

Shi Sheng couldn't stop him with a single word, and the other four unleashed Flying Swords to intercept, hoping to connect the sword lights into a barrier to withstand the miasma.

However, the poison mist included two components, one part was the colorful, visible fine strands, and the other part was colorless, odorless, completely invisible, which was even more dangerous. It moved along the sword light, invisible and intangible, yet capable of invading the orifices, making it nearly impossible to guard against.

Luo Lu, Qiu Zhixian, and Ouyang Hong were the first three poisoned, their bodies turning blue and purple, falling from the sky. Situ Ping, who could originally protect himself with the Five Elements Essence Qi, hurriedly went to help them when he saw them falling, only for the poison mist to mix with the Essence Qi, taking the opportunity to invade.

All four plummeted downwards, and Shi Sheng, also quickly achieving Human Sword Unity, hurried to their rescue.

At that time, four red-haired ancestors surrounded him from all sides, bellowing in anger and emitting poisonous demon light, turning tens of acres of airspace around them into a tumult of red mist and flashing blood light.

Lin Han then reunited with Shi Sheng at one place, using the "Nine Heavens Yuan Yang Great Technique" to also create several illusionary bodies, clashing in all directions amidst the blood light and poison mist.

He figured out which among the four red-haired ancestors were external bodies and which one was the original self.

Naturally, the external body was not as good as the original.

Lin Han used a tactic of feinting in one direction and attacking in another, focusing all his strength to stir the Xuan Guang Ruler, releasing millions of rings of light, each containing images of Lin Han and Shi Sheng, and some even contained Feiyang and various Great Demons of the Outer Heaven Divine Mountain.

The colorful rings of light flew chaotically like soap bubbles among the blood mist and demonic light.

Seizing this opportunity, he took Shi Sheng and escaped between the two incarnations of the red-haired ancestors, flying out of the poison mist. The two brothers, hand in hand, became invisible and dived diagonally downwards, swiftly flying into the forest and vanishing underground.

The red-haired ancestors realized they were escaping downwards and manipulated the toxic mist to descend, vowing to capture the two.

This was him using the "Asura Blood Transformation Array" with the Five-Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma, setting it up with his external body without external help. Even an Earth Immortal who had been famous for centuries would become like fish on the chopping board once trapped, totally at his mercy.

However, despite all his efforts, the two still managed to escape. When he collected the Five-Cloud Peach Blossom Miasma, there were four young men and women lying on the ground; he hadn't captured any of his actual targets, but instead caught four who were meddling.

The red-haired ancestor was fuming with anger!

He recognized that these four young men and women were from the Qingcheng Sect and the Snow Mountain Sect, and what terrified him the most was the black-clothed boy who was employing the exact techniques once used by Master He Sha.

Among those people, there was a True Master Yi Xiu who was recklessly powerful, known for being ruthless and venomous. He had been forcibly suppressed under a mountain by thirty-six Independent Immortals because of his unbridled actions. It was said that he had recently emerged, his body bent from the pressure, yet his mana had grown, and his divine skills became even more profound!

The red-haired ancestor felt having trouble with Feiyang was burdensome enough. If he let these four die here, Jiang Shu, Ling Hun, and Yi Xiu might all come to seek revenge. Facing one would not scare him, but facing all three would surely lead to his utter defeat!

At that moment, his disciples arrived; besides Xin Chenzi and Hong Changbao, there were five others who flew in. Seeing the four bodies on the ground, everyone was unsatisfied, wanting to extract their souls to refine magical treasures.

The red-haired ancestor quickly intervened, "Do you know who their elders from their sects are?"

"Who cares!" Hong Changbao said angrily, "They also killed several of our junior brothers and nephews just now. To exact revenge, a life for a life; letting them die like this would be letting them off too cheaply. Let's capture their Primordial Spirits first, refine them into magical treasures, and then go demand debts from their masters!"

Xin Chenzi, an old Jianghu hand, guessed the red-haired ancestor's intention and interjected to convince Hong Changbao, "Don't be reckless! From my observation, this boy and girl are from the Qingcheng Sect, and the young one follows the techniques of Ling Hun from the Snow Mountain Sect.

This black-clothed boy, I don't know whose disciple he is, seems to use the techniques of the Three Fiends of Zhongnan, although they haven't shown themselves for a long time, having accepted such a disciple suggests he must be highly valued."

Hong Changbao was typically more "homebound", staying in the Southern Border and seldom going out, unlike Xin Chenzi who knew much more. He asked, "Who are the Three Fiends of Zhongnan? I've never heard of three such people in Zhongnan Mountain."

Xin Chenzi then explained that those three had secluded themselves for cultivation at Zhongnan Mountain two hundred years ago and then disappeared. They were the disciples of the Iron Drum Immortal Zhou Meng, who was a contemporary of Elder Kuzhu.

What he said was true; decades ago, Zhou Meng had staged a play at the Fishing Rock in East Sea with the three elders of Emei, pretending to conflict with each other using the Five Elements True Qi against the Taiqing Mysterious Sect's Invisible Sword Energy, battling to an indecisive outcome.

As a result, when the Old Demon of the West Sea mistakenly thought it was real and flew in, the five suddenly changed sides and jointly attacked, nearly killing the West Sea Old Demon outright.

Counting back, that was over a thousand years ago; and such a disciple, all three of them, made Hong Changbao more cautious.

Seeing both master and disciple hesitating, Xin Chenzi added, "It's right to be cautious. The Three Fiends of Zhongnan are not to be trifled with. In those days, the Green Robe Old Thief told us that they had moved to the Southern Border many years ago, and although they reclusively cultivated for a long time and didn't venture out, we should never offend them if we encountered them. We must meet them with the respect due to juniors, even if the other party is disrespectful; we must endure and respond well, with preservation of life as the primary concern!"

After hearing this, both the red-haired ancestor and Hong Changbao were displeased. Hong Changbao immediately retorted, "It was his disciple who provoked first, killing my brother! Should we also endure this? My master is not like that Green Robe Old Thief..."

He paused, then turned to look at the red-haired ancestor, "Master, we can't just let this go! Those three old things haven't appeared for many years; they might already be dead from deviation, are we still afraid of them?"

The red-haired ancestor knew some about the Situ Ping on the ground not being a disciple of the Three Fiends of Zhongnan but rather Yi Xiu's, but he couldn't say it; it wouldn't make a difference, fearing anyone he was already afraid.

Xin Chenzi, still looking to make peace, said, "What's there to fear? When has our master ever feared anyone? It's just not good to create more enemies. If the Qingcheng Sect, the Snow Mountain Sect, and the Three Fiends of Zhongnan all come at once, besides master, we all would be buried without a place to die. Master's endurance is also for our own good. Let's just give them the antidote to revive them and then let them go."

Everyone's eyes turned to the red-haired ancestor, waiting for his decision.
