Yan Feifan had initially chosen to trust Lu Ding. Because just moments ago. Lu Ding had explained the situation to him. As for the others present. He held absolutely no expectations. Especially towards Wang Qingge and Bai Hemen. He never planned to rely on them in the first place. Bai Hemen needed no explanation - having spent so much time together, they all knew exactly what he was made of. Lu Ding had once described a scene to him. Back when they were in Tongxi. During a mission, Lu experienced something like a boss pep talk demanding five million in sales targets. The responses came from: A drooling Patrick Star, and a cross-eyed Spongebob...... Wang Qingge was the cross-eyed one, and as for who played the drooling role... no need to elaborate. He'd even asked what Patrick Star and Spongebob were. Lu Ding drew pictures for him... Leaving Yan Feifan unable to stop laughing. When she claimed to have a solution...... Yan Feifan didn't know how to respond. He wasn't sure he dared trust it. But Lu had also told him - Wang Qingge was naive, not stupid. After some thought, he asked: "What's your plan?" Wang Qingge raised her wooden sign, leading the two towards the besieged Wei Gao Qi Refiners. The unorthodox cultivators ahead were packed like sardines, some even leaping into the crowd. Yan Feifan shouted: "Make way! Make way!!!" No one listened - what organization or discipline did they expect? Oh right... they were unorthodox cultivators after all - this fit their character perfectly. Wang Qingge raised her sign: [This won't work] Then she swung the sign like a hammer. Thwack! Thwack! Thwack! Thwack!... If it sounds good, then it's a good head. Using the small sign as a hammer, each swing flashed with characters: Yan Feifan instantly understood Lu Ding's meaning - definitely not stupid. Great wisdom often appears as foolishness - in this moment she was smarter than him! With continuous thwacking, Wang Qingge fought her way through. The Wei Gao Qi Refiner who launched the sneak attack was already unrecognizable. His injuries were enough to kill someone of his level dozens if not hundreds of times over. Yet he remained spirited. His damaged flesh barely contained his soul. Within the semi-transparent soul, strange patterns were visible along with eyes carved into the spirit itself. But once the One-Eyed Five technique completed, or when Lu Ding broke through, death would come. An inevitable outcome. This was the horror of Mr. One-Eyed Five. Wang Qingge approached and observed. The young man looked up with a grin, viscous blood dripping from his mouth in threads. "Hehe... I killed Lu Ding... I killed Corpse-Shattering Tai Sui... I..." Wang Qingge stared expressionlessly. Her face growing increasingly darker... Thick black mist obscured her features, leaving only two eyes fixed on the youth. Then she raised her hand. Lifted the sign high. The explosive force scattered the surrounding unorthodox cultivators. The impact dented the young man's very soul. His eyes instantly cleared. But he could feel pain!! His mind was "gently" awakened. Wang Qingge raised the sign before him: [No time for daydreaming] She rolled up her sleeves. Revealing pale skin covered in disturbing sigils. Yet when observed, they writhed like living things. The surrounding unorthodox cultivators quickly backed away. Wang Qingge began her technique. Slamming her arms together, ink-like darkness exploded outward!! Two Wei Gao Qi Refiners meticulously formed their most powerful, lethal hand seals. While on another distant cloud. A ten-member Great Han Heavenly Perception team mirrored their movements. Except their seals weren't offensive. [Separation Fire Seals the Heavens... Geng Metal Swords Fix the Points... Seal the Five Directions Five Elements Tomb Gates... Twin Corpse Locks Bind Deities... Spirit Extraction Whip Attached to Reversed Scales...] And other large-scale restraining, imprisoning, binding techniques. Their orders were to "beat these men to death" here. Not simply obliterate them. That would be too merciful... They needed to make them regret coming! With these thoughts, the Great Han operatives worked their techniques while grinning maliciously. What expressions these two bastards would make when, at the peak of their sneak attack, they found themselves completely restrained... Great Han Heavenly Perception Ten: Heh heh heh heh heh...... You play it safe? We play safer. The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind! Above the battlefield. Qiu Fu, Dou Tingyu, and Zhao Jian arrived. Staring directly at the Wei Gao Heavenly Perception operative Cui Zaimin who wasn't even pretending to hide. Not only was Lu Ding absent. But strange, inhuman energy pulses resonated. Zhao Jian shouted first: "That's One-Eyed Five's energy!" Cui Zaimin nodded: "Correct, it's Mr. One-Eyed Five. So you remember, Zhao." "Years ago, you and your brother failed to capture One-Eyed Five, allowing it to escape into Wei Gao, causing tremendous harm." "Did you imagine we'd weaponize it against Great Han's top genius?" "Call it... karma's boomerang hitting between the eyes?" The trio's hearts sank. The implication was clear - Lu Ding had fallen to One-Eyed Five's technique?! Zhao Jian's expression darkened. That failed capture remained a blemish on his record. Objectively, One-Eyed Five was hard to capture - its escape wasn't unusual. During Great Han's purge, many powerful entities escaped. True terrors weren't easily eliminated. But facts were facts - failure was failure. Dou Tingyu snapped: "Bullshit! We herded it your way intentionally! Happy now?!" Cui Zaimin stiffened. Fuck it, this unreasonable woman!! Calm... she won't live long. Soon to die under my meticulous plans. No point wasting words.
