Under the guidance of Lianyi, they crossed several towering mountains, taking shortcut paths. Finally, before it got dark, the two arrived at the suspicious place. There were no contending mountains here, just a plain with a solitary towering peak that reached into the sky. Standing on the plain, Xia Liu surveyed the surroundings, ensuring no Immeasurable Sect disciples were nearby before asking. "Yes, in terms of the Immeasurable Sect, this location is to the west. The terrain here is peculiar; I feel it might be one of the exits for the Immeasurable Sect's array." Lianyi wasn't entirely sure. Her knowledge of formations was nearly zero. Even if there was a formation, she couldn't detect it. Her suspicions arose entirely from the unique structure of the place. A vast plain with only one peak. Surrounded by mountains, a solitary peak must hold secrets. From eight miles away, Xia Liu's Divine Sense surged, and after a moment, a brilliant expression appeared on his face. "That's right! There's a trace of a formation on this peak!" "Ah! I actually guessed it right!" Lianyi was so happy that she nearly jumped up. She had only been guessing before, and if she could help Xia Liu at this moment, it would be truly wonderful. "But we still can't guarantee if it's an exit of the Immeasurable Sect's array. Let me recover my cultivation a bit before exploring inside." Xia Liu was very cautious. There was only a desolate mountain ahead. Surrounded by plains. If Wang Liang led people to besiege him on the solitary peak, the outcome would be disastrous. Xia Liu didn't want to cause too much bloodshed. But if continually pressed, he might be unable to control the killing. If his cultivation returned to its peak, even if Wang Liang found him. By then, he could control the number of casualties within the Immeasurable Sect. He wouldn't take lives arbitrarily unless absolutely necessary. Xia Liu had always been compassionate. After instructing Lianyi, Xia Liu sat cross-legged on the ground, taking advantage of the opportunity. As the spell operated, Spiritual Energy from the heavens and earth continually flowed into his body. Deep into the night, Lianyi's stomach growled in hunger. The rumbling sound reached Xia Liu's ears. As she realized she had embarrassed herself when Xia Liu's deep, abyss-like eyes opened... "Brother Xia Liu, I'm sorry, I disturbed your cultivation." "Ha, there's nothing to it. I'm a bit hungry too. Let's hunt on the solitary peak!" Looking at the desolate peak brightened by the moonlight, Xia Liu said excitedly. "Ah? Brother Xia Liu, have you recovered?" Faced with Lianyi's inquiry, Xia Liu shook his head: "Not yet, but it's enough." Lianyi didn't ask further questions, quickly following Xia Liu across the plains to the desolate peak exuding the formation's aura. At three in the morning, Xia Liu and Lianyi sat by a fire. Nearby were scattered numerous small beast bones. Lianyi's strength had returned. Xia Liu had also restored a considerable amount of Spiritual Energy. Specifically, he had already returned to the tenth level of Qi Cultivation. Although this level of cultivation was insubstantial, it was enough to protect himself. "Brother Xia Liu, where will we go after we leave?" Lianyi, silent for a long time, asked. Her face was filled with confusion, unsure of what changes the future held. Unsure of what would happen to her Honored Master after leaving with Xia Liu. "First, let's go to my house, then you can cultivate in your place. Once I've stabilized the Immeasurable Sect, I'll let you return." "Oh, what will eventually become of the Immeasurable Sect?" Worry filled Lianyi's eyes. After all, the Immeasurable Sect was where she grew up. Leaving suddenly, or with the Immeasurable Sect ceasing to exist, the resulting sense of loss is something others wouldn't understand. "Reform and renewal." A simple four words spread a heavy atmosphere. If everything had been peaceful, Xia Liu wouldn't have had such thoughts.

Now the only problem should be the changeable Wang Liang. She didn't quite understand but became somewhat bewildered upon reflection. No longer discussing, she stared at the brilliant fireworks and began to daydream. Xia Liu, however, closed his eyes, letting his Divine Sense gradually spread out. It didn't take long before the surrounding ten miles were imprinted in his mind. Now that his cultivation had partially recovered, if he could break through the formation on the peak at this moment, it would be the optimal way out. Therefore, Xia Liu needed to perceive the location of the formation, its structure, and its state. Throughout the night until dawn, Xia Liu was unable to find out where the formation was located. This peak was somewhat strange. The formation seemed to be set at a certain location. Yet it also seemed that the entire peak was the array. Xia Liu felt bewildered but refused to give up. This was the accurate shortcut to turn the tables, he had to leave the Immeasurable Sect as quickly as possible. He wanted to leave, how could the Immeasurable Sect allow it? Instantly, as life force flourished across all things, Xia Liu immediately felt the atmosphere on the peak become extremely oppressive. In the next second, a change was detectable within his Divine Sense. Outside the plains, from five directions, five teams advanced with longswords on their backs, angrily converging towards the peak. Swish, swish, swish!!! The sound of the air splitting echoed across the plains, whereupon ten figures dashed through the firmament-like streaks of light, finally appearing above the plains. Leading them was none other than the Sect Master of Immeasurable Sect. Wang Liang wore a cunning smile on his lips, gazing at the desolate peak and shouted, "Xia Liu, today you must pay for your previous actions!" "A killer must pay the price!" "Must pay the price!" Immeasurable Sect disciples roared from the edges of the plains. The intensity of their voices was enough to make even cultivators at the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation tremble. Unfortunately, Xia Liu far surpassed the twelfth level of Qi Cultivation. Both in temperament and in physical strength. "Brother Xia Liu! What shall we do?" Seeing the figures appearing on the plains, Lianyi's nerves got the better of her. She had never faced this many enemies before. If not for Xia Liu's presence, she might not even have been able to stand. "Lianyi, don't worry. Later, just find a hidden spot to hide." After saying this, Xia Liu's Divine Sense surged, and the Flowing Fire Sword appeared from thin air. "Lianyi, find a hidden spot to hide, I'll go hold them off." With that, Xia Liu set off on his sword. Even faced with everyone from the Immeasurable Sect, he showed no intention to retreat. Seeing Xia Liu stand on the plains, Lianyi gathered a hand art, making herself undetectable to everyone present. However, instead of finding a hidden place to hide, she headed towards the Immeasurable Sect team below the peak... On the plains, with the Flowing Fire Sword planted before him, Xia Liu gazed fearlessly ahead. Among them, he only focused on a single figure. That would be Wang Liang. By capturing Wang Liang, the Immeasurable Sect would inevitably collapse. "Sect Master Wang, are you really choosing to break with me?" "Daoist Fellow Xia, you have known the answer to this deep in your heart, haven't you?"
