As the Lieyan Holy Son made his move, countless lotus flowers fluttered down, each formed by the rules of fire. In an instant, the lotus flowers swept into a swirling wind and came directly at them. The rules of fire exploded. From the start, the Lieyan Holy Son controlled the rhythm of the battle, directly employing a powerful technique against Ye Qiu. Ye Qiu did not counter but swiftly retreated, forming a hand seal and rapidly disappearing. The mist in front of the Lieyan Holy Son grew denser. Especially with the formation he was in, which was a combination of an Illusion Array and a Sword Array! Numerous Sword Qi slashed through, while the Lieyan Holy Son continuously used the fire lotuses to fend them off. Several Japanese Samurais nearby were trembling in fear, shocked that Ye Qiu had silently targeted them here. The fear they felt towards Ye Qiu had been ingrained deeply since Ye Qiu single-handedly subdued the Japanese martial arts world. The Lieyan Holy Son kept expending energy, intending to use the power of fire to dry the mist, forcing Ye Qiu to reveal himself. However, his opponent’s idea was too simplistic. Even if he used half of his power to dissipate the mist, Ye Qiu’s figure still remained hidden. "I don’t believe I can’t break through your formation." The Lieyan Holy Son didn’t understand formations, but he knew that if a formation couldn’t withstand a certain amount of energy, it would automatically break. Thus, the Japanese Samurais watched as the Lieyan Holy Son attacked madly, disregarding everything, filling the sky and surroundings with his power. This brute force approach to breaking the formation caused the Lieyan Holy Son’s energy to deplete rapidly. Finally, when Ye Qiu saw it was about time, he took advantage of the Lieyan Holy Son’s inattentiveness and delivered a heavy blow, causing the already exhausted Lieyan Holy Son to faint. Seeing the Lieyan Holy Son knocked out by Ye Qiu, the Japanese Samurais realized the gravity of the situation, unable to escape the Illusion Array, they could only kneel and plead for mercy. "Didn’t you want to see me kneel? Why are you the ones kneeling now?" Ye Qiu sneered. "Mr. Ye, we know we were wrong. I promise never to step foot in China again. I hope Mr. Ye can spare our lives." The Japanese Samurais kowtowed repeatedly, begging for mercy.

After a while, the Japanese Samurais realized Ye Qiu had disappeared. Upon exiting the array, they expressed delight. "It’s great, we’re alive." "Unfortunately, we’ve lost our support." "It’s going to be very difficult for us to claim that item at the top of Mount Tai on our own." Just as the Japanese Samurais were lamenting their misfortune, suddenly, one of them widened his eyes and pointed around. "There... over there..." "What’s up? What are you trying to say?" Then, following the gestures of the speechless Samurai, everyone glanced over and felt their hair stand on end. Just three meters away, densely packed magic frogs were staring intently at them. Ye Qiu hadn’t spared them; he’d sent them straight to the mouths of the magic frogs. Suddenly, cries of agony sounded out. Ye Qiu had already anticipated the fate of those Japanese Samurais. Though he could let them go, it wasn’t his problem if they were taken by the magic frogs. Ye Qiu looked at the fainted Lieyan Holy Son, deliberating. Killing him seemed wasteful. If he could bring him back to Moonwatch Peak, he could expand his Saint Heir training group. However, he couldn’t leave the Mist Array now; he had to keep an eye on Taiyi Saint Heir and Demon Lord Holy Son. Losing Ge Tian’s treasure would be a huge loss for him. Unable to leave, he couldn’t take the Lieyan Holy Son away. Ye Qiu pondered what to do. After a while, he touched his waist, "I wonder if the Sumeru Bag can store living beings." Though unsure if the Sumeru Bag could store living entities, Ye Qiu decided to test it out. He’d only stored non-living items in it before. So he decided to try it out. First, he captured a magic frog and tossed it into the Sumeru Bag. After a while, he retrieved the frog. The frog croaked, extending its long tongue, which Ye Qiu promptly punched to pieces. Only then was he sure the Sumeru Bag could indeed store living beings. Without further ado, Ye Qiu immediately tossed the bound Lieyan Holy Son into the Sumeru Bag. "Done." Ye Qiu dusted off his hands. The significant discovery that the Sumeru Bag could store living entities held great meaning for Ye Qiu. New ideas sprouted in his mind; perhaps within the Mist Array, he could capture expert opponents alive. All those Saint Heirs, Angels, Vampires, bring them all back to Moonwatch Peak to serve as his training partners. "With the space inside the Sumeru Bag, it should easily hold dozens of people." Ye Qiu weighed his options, deciding which Saint Heirs to capture. Finally, Ye Qiu resolved to collect all who harbored hostility against him, knocking out and storing them in the Sumeru Bag. After dealing with the Lieyan Holy Son, Ye Qiu stretched his neck, readying himself to tackle Taiyi Saint Heir and company. Upon locating their figures, he was slightly surprised. Unexpectedly, they had already broken through the formation he had set, reaching the depths of the Mist Array. Soon, they would enter the Death Array. "I can’t let you enter so easily," Ye Qiu’s gaze sharpened as he quickly approached, then cast several formation seals. Just when Taiyi Saint Heir, Demon Lord Holy Son, and others thought they were about to exit the Mist Array, their steps halted, as the space around them subtly shifted again. "It must be the native causing trouble!" Elder Mu Zun confidently declared. "He’s in the dark, and we’re in the light. But there’s no need to fear; with our strength, that native can’t stir much of a wave." Taiyi Saint Heir remained confident, never considering Ye Qiu a threat. Turquoise Pool Saintess did not share Taiyi Saint Heir’s view. Though Ye Qiu was a native, she didn’t feel he was like ordinary natives or easy to deal with. At this time, mist rose before everyone again, causing them to pause, not wanting to enter another formation and waste time. Elder Mu Zun immediately acted, dispelling the mist to clear a path for everyone. Observing the scene from the shadows, Ye Qiu glanced at the magic frogs gathering together. Smirking, he willed them to swiftly approach Elder Mu Zun. "Young Lord, there is indeed a formation ahead, but I broke it with brute force. We can proceed now." Elder Mu Zun returned and informed Taiyi Saint Heir. Taiyi Saint Heir nodded, rising, and was the first to move forward. As others followed, when they stepped on the thick fallen leaves, suddenly, numerous magic frogs sprang out.
