Chapter 1067 He's someone you can't afford to offend!

"know."

"To oppose Xuanwu is to oppose the Heavenly Palace. To oppose the Heavenly Palace is to be an enemy of the entire Primordial World."

"I know."

"You are not afraid?"

Zhang Yuan smiled.

"I'm afraid. But some things are more important than fear."

"Before his death, General Ba Yue entrusted the Han Yue Army to me. Three hundred thousand soldiers entrusted their lives to me. Hundreds of thousands of people in Tianyuan City placed their hopes on me."

"I can't let them down."

"Fairy Yunyao is also part of their hopes."

He took a step forward, looking directly at Xuan Qing.

“Senior, you have been hiding for a hundred years.”

"Can you really let go of this while you're hiding here?"

"You went into seclusion to try and break through to the Heavenly Venerable Realm, but in the past hundred years, have you made even half a step forward?"

"Your inner demon is her."

“If you don’t save her, you’ll never be able to break through in this lifetime.”

Xuanqing's body jolted violently.

Zhang Yuan's words were like a needle, piercing his deepest pain.

For a century, he sat alone on a solitary peak, his cultivation regressing rather than progressing.

His inner demons followed him like a shadow, gnawing at his Dao heart day and night.

He knew the reason, but he couldn't let it go.

But he didn't dare to face it.

A grandmaster uncle who likes his own... what's that all about?

This is contrary to human ethics and moral principles. It is intolerable to Heaven.

"You..." Xuan Qing's voice trembled slightly, "What do you know? You, a junior, dare to speak ill of my thoughts?"

“I don’t understand,” Zhang Yuan said frankly, “but I do understand one thing.”

"In this world, some mistakes, once made, can never be undone."

"But there are some things that you'll regret for the rest of your life if you don't do them."

"Senior, will you choose to continue regretting for a hundred years, or go to save people tonight?"

"Even if you save her, she may still not accept you. But at least you can be true to yourself."

“If you don’t save her, she will die in prison, and you will never be able to sleep peacefully again in your life.”

The mountain wind howled.

Xuanqing closed his eyes.

His fingers trembled slightly on his knees.

a long time.

a long time.

“…Zhang Yuan is quite something.”

He stood up.

The gray robe fluttered in the mountain wind.

A century of sitting in silence, a century of entanglement, a century of escapism.

At that moment, he decided to stop running away.

"lead the way."

His voice regained its composure.

----------------

Abyss barriers, underground mine tunnels.

Lei Potian led six hundred men, moving like ghosts.

This is the garrison of the Heavenly Army, not the Demon Realm.

The fortress is home to 100,000 "Zhenyuan Army" troops directly under the Heavenly Palace's command. Nominally, they are at the command of the Heavenly Palace's Military Affairs Department, but in reality, they have long been infiltrated and controlled by Xuanwu's people.

The one guarding this place is Yin Wuji, an old general from the Heavenly Palace.

This person was once Xuanqing's junior disciple, and was of the same generation as Yun Yao. His cultivation level was at the peak of the initial stage of the Venerable Realm.

He was not loyal to the Heavenly Palace, but to Xuanwu.

A hundred years ago, Yun Yao was framed, and he personally set up a restriction, locking Yun Yao in the Netherworld Prison.

Tonight, Lei Potian is going to break into Yin Wuji's territory.

He followed Zhang Yuan's earth vein node diagram strictly at every step.

"Three miles to the left front, the fire node is weak. Detonate it to create chaos."

Lei Potian raised his hand, and one of the formation-breaking team members silently planted a Explosive Flame Talisman.

Three breaths later, a muffled explosion came from afar, and fire erupted from the ground, illuminating half the sky.

Alarms blared inside the fortress, and squads of Heavenly Palace Guards rushed toward the explosion site.

“Turn right, pass through the ‘Wind Howling Gorge’, and avoid the Demon Eye Watchtower above.”

The group fished their way through the gap between the two rock walls. Thirty feet overhead, the starlight shining through, was only three feet above their heads.

"A hundred feet ahead, the magnetic turbulence will pause for three breaths."

Lei Potian roared, "Full speed!"

Six hundred people simultaneously unleashed their magnetic power, shooting through the gaps in the turbulent currents like arrows released from a bow.

Three breaths later, the turbulent current surged again, tearing cracks into the rock wall behind them.

One step at a time.

Lei Potian secretly admired Zhang Yuan's plan.

The general's deductions were as if he had witnessed them firsthand.

Outside the Dark Prison.

A natural cave that extends deep into the earth's veins.

The Xuan Yin Ming Iron Gate was tightly shut, its restrictive runes intricate and menacing.

The restrictions here were personally set up by Yin Wuji, and no one has been able to break them in the past hundred years.

Outside the gate, a squad of elite Heavenly Palace guards were patrolling, wearing specially made "Abyss-Suppressing Armor" and carrying Demon-Slaying Crossbows, equipment of the same origin as that of the Shaking Mountain Army.

Lei Potian lurked in the shadows, his eyes fixed on the cave entrance.

Behind him, six hundred people held their breath.

He held three "Chaos Star Source Breaking Talismans" in his palm.

“General,” a member of the breakout team whispered, “the patrol just passed by, the next wave won’t be here for another quarter of an hour.”

"What about the restricted nodes?"

"The location marked by the general, three inches to the lower left of the gate, at the point where the core rune 'Kan and Li converge,' is the weakest point of the entire restriction."

"Although Yin Wuji was proficient in restrictions, he did not know that the power of chaos naturally countered the Xuan Yin Ming Iron."

Lei Potian took a deep breath.

He raised his right hand, three fingers.

"three."

"two."

"one."

"break!"

All three talismans are activated simultaneously!

The chaotic gray light was like an invisible sharp blade, precisely pinning down that tiny point!

A terrifying annihilation power erupted!

The restrictive runes instantly dimmed and disintegrated!

Cracks spread like a spider web!

Boom! ...

The door was blown open, creating a crack several feet wide!

"Enemy attack!!!"

A piercing alarm blared!

"rush!"

Lei Potian took the lead, transforming into a bolt of lightning and crashing into the crack!

Six hundred elite soldiers surged in from behind like a burst dam!

……

Inside the prison.

Yin Wuji was handling military affairs in a secret room when he was suddenly awakened.

"Someone's breaking into prison?!"

He swept his divine sense across the intruders and found that one of them was a half-step Venerable, while the rest were only at the Saint Realm.

"court death!"

He sneered and raised his hand to activate the ultimate restriction.

But he had just raised his hand.

A blinding bolt of lightning was already upon his face!

Lei Potian's Blade!

"Thunderbolt, Slash!"

"boom!"

Yin Wuji's protective aura fluctuated violently, and he was forced back three steps!

"A half-step Venerable?!" Yin Wuji's expression changed slightly. "Who are you?"

"Shaking Mountain Army, Thunderclap!" Thunderclap's blade flashed like thunder as he pressed forward relentlessly. "By order of the Demon Suppressing General, I have come to rescue Fairy Yun Yao!"

Yin Wuji's gaze turned cold: "Zhang Yuan? That arrogant brat? Who does he think he is? Daring to cause trouble at my Abyss Barrier?"

"He's someone you can't afford to mess with!" Lei Potian slashed down with his sword!

At the same time, hundreds of assassins swarmed in and engaged in a fierce close-quarters battle with the guards in the prison!

"Hold on! Hold on for me!" Yin Wuji roared.

“Your men can’t hold out!” Lei Potian said coldly.

He cleaved through Yin Wuji's protective aura with a single strike, and at the same time shouted, "Breaking Formation Team, go rescue him!"

One hundred members of the Breakthrough Team broke away from the battlefield and rushed into the depths of the prison!

Inside the prison, the air was stagnant and foul.

The accumulated dust of a century, mixed with the chilling aura emanating from the Devouring Yuan Lock, created a suffocating smell.

The restrictive runes on the wall flashed with a ghostly blue light every few breaths.

Fairy Yunyao was locked in the very center of the cell. (End of Chapter)
