The lighting in the mirror images of the Five Command Centers wasn't great, but such a large white cat was still easy to distinguish.

This cat was called 'Cloud Demon', a type whose cultivation level increased as its body grew larger. It was adept at galloping through the air, floating like a cloud, hence the beautiful name 'Cloud Demon'; in essence, it was just a kind of cat demon.

All who saw it were surprised; such a striking mount immediately revealed its master's identity.

"Dongguo Shou?" Manxi exclaimed in shock, turning to ask those beside him, "Wasn't he supposed to be resting? How did he end up over there?"

No one could answer this question, but someone suddenly realized and said, "No wonder he was always asking about the situation over there, turns out he sneaked over."

This man was a pillar of the Heavenly Court Team, acting on his own like this, what if something happens? Manxi's expression darkened, yet regarding the current situation, it was hard to tell if this was good or bad, unclear whether the tokens could be retrieved.

Mulan Jin suddenly sent a telepathic message to him, "Commander, remind him to be cautious of Luo Que and find a way to save the person."

Han Bao had fallen with one move by Su Jikuan, his fate uncertain, but Dongguo Shou's appearance gave him some hope.

Manxi naturally knew who he meant by "save the person", and immediately sent a message instructing someone to contact Dongguo Shou…

On-site, Luo Que and Su Jikuan also recognized who had arrived, but did not take him seriously.

Even Li Hongjiu deduced the identity of the newcomer based on the mount, feeling somewhat surprised why he had encountered so many elite teams so early. He still remembered Senior Ming Chaofeng's initial advice, which said that at the start of the battle, everyone should try to avoid early confrontations among key figures; after listing various adverse consequences, he also warned him about it.

Dongguo Shou glanced around the scene, then smiled and said, "Yo, Luo Que is here, and Su Tianjiao too, then this must be Li Hongjiu, right?"

Upon hearing this, Luo Que and Li Hongjiu showed nothing, but Su Jikuan's face instantly tightened.

Had he heard this before, he might not have cared, thinking it jealousy perhaps, but now it grated especially on his nerves, anger surged in his heart. With Luo Que, he might still be cautious, but Dongguo Shou was beneath notice.

He immediately chided, "This is none of your business. If you want to leave, do it early; otherwise not only will you lose your belongings, but you might also lose your life, which would be awkward."

In essence, it was picking a fight deliberately with words, a lesson deserved at least.

He had lost interest in dealing with Li Hongjiu, as someone seemingly more formidable like Luo Que appeared, another more detestable had shown up; Li Hongjiu no longer rated on his emotional scale.

After speaking, Dongguo Shou's gaze held amusement as he was about to tease back, but suddenly his brow twitched, reaching down to retrieve a mother-child talisman to examine.

After reading the message, he looked up at Luo Que, surprise evident in his eyes, and replied, "How could you say it's none of my business? Luo Que, did you capture my Heavenly Court Team's people?"

Luo Que smiled faintly and said, "So what if I did?"

Dongguo Shou shrugged, "Then let them go."

Luo Que raised his chin as a signal, "The Heavenly Mirror is watching, both enemy and ally, how can I easily release them?"

Dongguo Shou chuckled, shaking his head, "So you're not giving me any face?"

Su Jikuan interjected, "You think your face is that important? Overestimating yourself!"

Dongguo Shou laughed heartily, "Of course not as important as your face, Su Tianjiao. Why not help me beg for leniency and see if she'll respect a Tianjiao like you?"

Normally proud and aloof, Su Jikuan was now incited to agitation. He couldn't understand what was happening today; these two guys, both calling him 'Tianjiao' incessantly since meeting, it was unbearable. "Hand over the tokens, and I'll spare your life!"

Dongguo Shou sneered, "If you can't take a joke, then don't respond." He directly shifted his gaze away from him and refocused on Luo Que, this time with a serious demeanor saying, "Let them go!"

Luo Que said nothing, just shook her head, with her smile receding as well, stealthily preparing to fight.

The mirror images of the Five Central Command Centers were all closely watching, especially Heavenly Court's side. Manxi was a bit tense, not knowing what method Dongguo Shou could use to save them. On this end, Dongguo Shou had already been reminded that Luo Que had mastered 'Fan Xiu Heaven', advised him to decide the timing of advance and retreat properly, unsure if he could understand.

If it weren't for Mulan Jin wanting to save her daughter, he actually wouldn't want Dongguo Shou to take this risk.

Suddenly, Mulan Jin's eyes twitched, as she saw another person fly out of the mirror image, holding a Big Melon Hammer in hand, cloaked in a solidified divine and demonic silhouette, with blue light emanating from his eyes; it was none other than Han Bao.

Recovered, Han Bao charged back, finding Mulan Qingqing and others gone, immediately flew to Li Hongjiu to ask, "Where are they?"

Li Hongjiu raised a hand to stop him.

Just as the smile faded from the faces of Luo Que and Dongguo Shou, their gazes locking in an imminent clash, Luo Que's gaze flickered first, sensing something and glancing down at her own sleeve, then suddenly looking around, her face radiating red light.

Not only her, others sensed an abnormal energy fluctuation too, quickly surveying around, seeing flames appear on the scene, a glowing red fissure emerging, with magma seeping out, followed by a second and third, each cracking open rapidly in all directions, like more and more Demon Eyes revealing themselves.

The people in front of the Heavenly Mirror at the Five Command Centers are not unfamiliar with this scene; they saw it during Shi Chun's attempt to rescue Li Hongjiu.

Luo Que repeatedly waved her sleeves, casting spells as if suppressing something, but one of her sleeves eventually began to smoke and caught fire, with cracks of fire even emitting a burnt smell that the strong wind carried to the onlookers' senses.

The moment several present turned their gaze towards her, they saw her sleeve buzz into shredded fragments dancing wildly; the sound seemed to impact the surrounding world momentarily, not loud yet somewhat discomforting to the ears.

From the exploding sleeves burst forth a distorting force that shot out sesame-sized specks, swiftly magnifying into a group of human figures - none other than An Wuzhi and others who broke free from the constraints of 'Fan Xiu Heaven'.

Seeing no other than the starry sky again, Wu Jinliang exclaimed, "Old An, well done!"

No time for further words, aware of formidable enemies outside, the group dashed towards a predetermined direction, opting to flee first as a form of respect.

"Help me!" Old Chai shouted in dry agony at the back, persistently forgotten because of his lack of ability, relying only on his voice to gain sympathy.

Luo Que who now had half a sleeve remained in shock, her expression filled with disbelief turning to rageful embarrassment; she swiftly dashed in pursuit, chasing with all her speed.

Li Hongjiu accelerated with a fierce gust under his feet, chasing intensely.

Han Bao also charged with his hammer.

Su Jikuan coldly fixed his gaze on Dongguo Shou, more concerned with settling scores than fighting for the Token.

With Tong Mingshan covering their retreat, An Wuzhi seemed helpless, amidst the Wind Scale, rapidly forming fingers for a finger technique, 'Demon Eyes' opened wherever the Wind Scale passed, dripping fresh red 'Demon Tears'.

"Strike!" An Wuzhi shouted suddenly, slicing through the air towards the rapidly catching-up Luo Que.

Instantly, 'Demon Eyes' glowed, unleashing countless Fire Bats swarming towards Luo Que.

These Fire Bats were tangible entities, akin to charred stones covered with fiery cracks, alive, exploding towards their target.

The scene was spectacular, causing even the Five Command Centers' audience in front of the mirror images to stare intently, eyes wide in surprise.

After today, An Wuzhi would officially be renowned in the Cultivation World!

Yet, numbers weren't everything; the enraged Luo Que overwhelmed them with sheer cultivation power, crushing the attacking Fire Bats into a sea of flame by the sheer force of her palms, continuing her pursuit through the fire.

"Strike!" An Wuzhi shouted again with aggression reflected on his face.

From the 'Demon Eyes' opening came sharp claws, sinister heads emerging, eyes glinting golden, fire dragons bursting forth, dozens upon dozens in an instant.

Lacking enough power, he summoned the aid of the Divine Fire Golden Flame's fiery nature.

Enormous fire dragons soared or wriggled with massive torsos directly striking towards Luo Que, impressively ferocious.

In the night appeared dazzling divine dragons, mesmerizing the audience before the mirrors with their splendid display, these entities were real, what kind of Divine Skills were these?

Luo Que hesitated just briefly; as she blasted the foremost dragon's head with her palm, the high temperature from the exploding golden flame suggested trouble, she quickly flicked her remaining large sleeve, sweeping away the fire in an instant.

The approaching fire dragons were also swept into the sleeve continuously, the scene akin to taming divine dragons into little snakes, grand in spectacle.

"Ah!" Amidst the Wind Scale, An Wuzhi cried out in dismay, his form flickering uncertainly, panicking at the realization of not being able to touch his opponent, how was he supposed to fight?

Just then, a voice resonated through the void with the rhythm of tides, "One clear breath transforms the world, North Nether Old Man fishes for giant whales, swirling snow, East Sea Island is like falling flowers, surging blue sea sound, Ten Directions Immortal Mountain has deers calling..."

The source of the voice was none other than Dongguo Shou; seeing the chase unfold, he didn't join in pursuit but calmly sat atop a big cat, playing a rhythm and chanting.

As the chanting sounded, the night's scene transformed dramatically for everyone, the battle setting vanished, and they found themselves amid a vast dark Ice Field, snow swirling heavily, faintly visible was an old man with straw coat and bamboo hat sitting by the sea, steadfastly holding a fishing rod, covered under layers of snow.

The dancing snowflakes gradually illuminated everyone's spirits, metamorphosing into the radiant falling flowers on a warm sea island, blossoms everywhere under bright sunshine, seemingly fragrant in scent, and amidst the sound of the blue sea tide, the subtle calls of deer mingled, with the eye raised, clouds and mist enveloping countless floating Immortal Mountains near and far.

These dazzling scenes could not be seen through the mirrors of the Five Command Centers, but they witnessed enormous beings emerging into the night sky from obscurity, towering mountains, like rising from water revealing themselves out of thin air.

Beiju Commander Lan She seeing this gasped in astonishment, exclaiming, "It's Word and Law Follow! Dongguo Shou has mastered Word and Law Follow!"

Heavenly Court Commander Manxi, stunned briefly, didn't immediately react, shouting, "What is obstructing our view, quickly switch angles."

Mulan Jin, however, was invigorated, murmuring an explanation, "Dongguo Shou has acted, the cultivation technique of the Carefree Sect is named 'Carefree Travel', and this is 'Word and Law Follow' from 'Carefree Travel'!"
