Bushy beard nodded and mounted an Ember Moose.
He wasted no time and headed toward Bei Dian Castle.
A man was standing in his path when he got out of the military guard post.
"Get out of the way!" Bushy beard shouted as he drew his sword and squeezed his legs tight, making the Ember Moose charge at the man.
A familiar sound erupted in Lin Fan's mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected soul with malevolent intent incoming!]
[Terminate person with malevolent intent for 200 vengeance points.]
Lin Fan stomped his feet onto the ground with the Earth Splitter Stomp.
The ground shook and split open.
The split traveled forward as it tore the ground open, came toward the Ember Moose, and spikes made of rocks shot out of the opening.
Darting to the side, the Ember Moose tried to escape from the split, but the spikes made of rocks plunged into its belly.
Bushy beard fell from the Ember Moose's back and tumbled onto the ground.
He quickly got up and scurried away into the bushes by the side of the path.
This man was too strong for him.
Better to try to survive and get to Bei Dian Castle.
But it was no use; Lin Fan, using his Remote Tracker ability, could see where he was going.
Suddenly, Bushy beard's legs stopped moving.
It was as if his legs weren't his.
Someone was in control of his body.
He saw himself turn around and walk back onto the track where Lin Fan was.
Lin Fan shrugged his shoulders and said, "I promise it will be over in an instant."
The next moment, Bushy beard felt a push on his chest.
When he looked down, all he saw was Lin Fan's arm going through it.
Then everything went dark as his heart was gone.
Lin Fan pulled out his hand and threw the heart to the side.
He took off the armor from Bushy beard and stowed it inside his toad statue.
Next, he went and retrieved the demonic beast core from the Ember Moose carcass.
"Lin Fan," Ho Ming called out to him as they emerged from the gate of the military guard post.
They were done with all the soldiers inside.
"Everyone, try and recuperate as much as you can. It's not going to be as easy next," Hun Yen Kun said.
Lin Fan nodded and took out his Blood and Qi restoration pills.
He swallowed some and waited for his Qi and energy to recover.
The others did the same, as they knew it wasn't the time to be thrifty.
After they had recovered, they continued their way down the mountain.
It took them half the time to reach the foot of the mountain.
Bei Dian Castle stood in front of them one kilometer away.
Its high walls that stood at a hundred meters high seemed impenetrable.
"So, what do we do now? There would be guards standing watch," Ho Ming asked as he couldn't figure out a way to get into the castle.
Hun Yen Kun took out a jade pendant and said, "Don't worry, there will be fireworks later."
He said something into the jade pendant, communicating with the person on the other end.
All they needed to do was to wait.
Far away at the front gate of Bei Dian Castle, a team of men dressed like merchants approached the castle's towering front gate.
They were stopped and questioned.
The men opened the canvas covering the carts as the soldiers inspected.
When the soldier questioned what they were, one of the men took out a long pipe-looking firework and lit it.
The sparks caught onto the other fireworks in the cart, and all of them got lit.
Whoosh.
Boom!
The fireworks shot up into the sky and exploded into a beautiful flower made of bright lights.
This caught the attention of all the soldiers.
They looked up and enjoyed the show as more fireworks shot up into the sky.
"Come, let's go. Everyone focus on your target," Hun Yen Kun said, and they ran toward Bei Dian Castle.
Lin Fan glanced over at Ho Ming as they separated and went on their way.
…
Huai Mountain.
Military outpost.
"They are coming!" A disciple shouted and ran toward the military outpost.
The manifestation of Qing Yang Zi that was left behind got up to the military outpost's wall.
Manifestations of the other sect masters followed.
They had left behind manifestations, and their true selves went up north to deal with Tan Xiao Yao.
Soon, clouds of dust appeared on the horizon as the troops from Tan Xiao Yao kicked up the dust.
The ground started to shake as the troops took their steps in unison.
Drum.
Drum.
The war drums beat, and huge stones, each with a diameter of ten meters and scriptures carved on them, shot at the military post.
White glow appeared from the ground outside of the military post, and it slowly engulfed the military post.
Rumble.
The huge stones that were catapulted glowed bright red as they came close to the protection wall.
They couldn't get through the wall, and the stones exploded.
Inside a room in the military outpost, beads of sweat appeared on Zhao Ming Ye's forehead.
He and the other disciples from the formation peak were using their Qi to maintain the protection wall.
The disciples standing on top of the wall cheered as they saw none of the stones were able to penetrate the formation array's protection wall.
But the celebrations were short-lived as another wave of huge stones came at them again.
Rumble.
This time, they could see the white protection wall shimmer for a moment as the huge stones exploded.
Everyone's expressions turned serious, and they drew their weapons, getting ready.
The next wave of stones came immediately.
The protection wall withstood the attack again.
However, the white glow turned dimmer as Zhao Ming Ye and the other disciples' Qi was slowly used up.
Another wave of huge stones was catapulted at the military outpost.
"Damn it!"
"It just keeps coming!"
The disciples got frustrated as the attacks didn't stop.
Rumble.
Finally, the huge stones hit the protection wall again.
But this time the protection wall faded, and chaos ensued.
Boom!
Explosions could be heard as the huge stones landed.
Debris of rocks and human tissue flew all over.
