The two of them arrived at the enormous, spacious stone peak platform through the hidden Teleportation Array.

Yang Che knew that this hidden Teleportation Array originally consumed a significant amount of Spirit Stone for a single transmission, but after Tianxie Ziyin’s modifications, the consumption of Spirit Stone for a single transmission was directly reduced by 20%.

This was enough to show that Tianxie Ziyin’s Formation attainments far exceeded Yang Che’s imagination.

This also made Yang Che even more determined to continue following Tianxie Ziyin to diligently study the Dao of Formation Restriction, laying a solid foundation for his path as an Array Symbol Master.

Through the Teleportation Array on the stone peak platform, the two exited the Purple Heaven Secret Realm.

As soon as he stepped out of the Teleportation Array, Yang Che immediately sensed several incredibly powerful and oppressive Qi pressing down on him.

Tianxie Ziyin let out a soft huff, and Yang Che quickly noticed that the oppressive Qi immediately dissipated without a trace, and his entire body relaxed.

Looking up, the surroundings were a mess, with broken walls and ruins everywhere, as if they had suffered destructive damage.

In front of the Teleportation Array, a giant scorpion, about two hundred zhang long, lay across the Teleportation Array, looking extremely miserable.

Its entire body was almost completely intact, most of its shell and bones had cracks, some even shattered, revealing exposed, everted flesh.

Of its two originally dark and sharp giant pincers, one was actually broken off, and foul blood was still continuously gushing from the fracture.

The other was also heavily damaged, covered in deep gashes.

Yang Che recognized this giant scorpion; it was none other than the City Lord of Zi Tian City, Sha E, the black-robed Yao Cultivator whose true form was a sand scorpion.

Sha E was an eleventh-level Yao Beast who had long since transformed into human form, a Yao Cultivator at the Nascent Divinity Initial Stage, but in his current state, he was clearly severely injured.

In this Zi Tian Oasis, as the overlord of Zi Tian City, who could possibly injure a Nascent Divinity Initial Stage Yao Cultivator to such an extent?

Stepping over Sha E’s body, Yang Che’s eyes narrowed involuntarily.

He saw three old and one young Cultivators with stern expressions standing directly in front of Sha E.

The three old ones were two strangely dressed, disheveled, long-browed old men who looked very similar, and another white-haired old woman wearing a strange red dress with brightly painted red lips.

And the young one was actually the ‘burly princess’ Sha Jin, who had originally been placed under house arrest.

Evidently, Sha Jin had already been rescued by these individuals.

The moment she saw Yang Che appear, and sensed that he had actually advanced to the Golden Core Stage cultivation, Sha Jin’s eyes immediately showed surprise and doubt, but then an incredibly intense resentment quickly surged forth.

She pointed at Yang Che and said to the red-dressed old woman, “Grandmaster Tao, this is the person. I just didn’t expect him to reach the Golden Core Stage in just over seven years.”

The white-haired, red-dressed old woman named Tao, however, kept her gaze fixed on Tianxie Ziyin.

For some reason, the moment the old woman saw Tianxie Ziyin appear, an indescribable feeling of discomfort surged within her.

Seeing Tianxie Ziyin’s beauty and nobility, her heart, which had been as still as stagnant water for many years, inexplicably gave rise to a hint of envy and jealousy.

However, as a Middle Stage Soul Transformation Cultivator, the old woman quickly forced herself to erase this trace of negative emotion.

“Sha E, are these the two people you said could not be offended?”

The old woman surnamed Tao stared at Sha E, who had already transformed back into human form, with both suspicion and solemnity in her eyes.

Sha E did not answer her, but he soon provided her with an answer.

Sha E, dragging his injured and crippled body, walked up to Tianxie Ziyin and respectfully saluted, “Greetings, Master. These three are all from Sand Sea City.”

Tianxie Ziyin nodded, and said indifferently:

“Sha E, you did well to guard this Teleportation Array despite your severe injuries this time. Go heal and recover.”

“Yes.”

Sha E had a relieved expression, respectfully acknowledged, and then immediately walked to the side, swallowed a Medicinal Pill, and sat down cross-legged to circulate his Qi and heal his injuries.

“Who are you? Who gave you the audacity to seize my Ancient Remnant Sand Sea’s Oasis and city? And you even dared to change its name without authorization?”

The white-haired old woman surnamed Tao had eyes like lightning, and her gaze was incredibly sharp.

She couldn't discern the cultivation of this unbelievably beautiful woman in front of her, yet she strangely felt that this woman’s cultivation didn't seem to be very strong?

However, the old woman had experienced too many great storms, intrigues, and bizarre occurrences, so she dared not be careless in the slightest.

Yang Che turned his head to look and found that Tianxie Ziyin seemed to be pondering something, a thoughtful expression in her eyes.

Soon, he heard Tianxie Ziyin transmit a message to him: “Yang Che, I will deal with these three, and that Princess Sha Jin will be left to you.”

After speaking, without waiting for Yang Che to reply, she directly flew up, and by some Divine Ability, instantly swept away the three old people.

From afar, the urgent angry roar of the white-haired, red-dressed old woman came…

At the same time, the burly Princess Sha Jin’s face suddenly changed.

She glanced at the distant location of the three old people, a look of unwillingness in her eyes, then gritted her teeth, activated her escape light, and rapidly fled towards the outskirts of Zi Tian City.

Yang Che’s eyes turned cold, and the Flash Cloud Boots under his feet flashed with a faint light, and he instantly pursued Sha Jin like lightning.

While pursuing, Yang Che quickly simulated combat Moves in his mind.

This Sha Jin was a Golden Core Stage Late Stage Cultivator, and he had never fought an enemy since forming his Golden Core.

However, because he had formed twin Golden Cores from his dual Dantian, Yang Che had no fear.

Thinking of this, he decided to let loose and take this opportunity to properly test his combat power now that he had entered the Golden Core Stage.

He chased out of the city and soon arrived in the desert.

Seeing that Yang Che actually dared to chase her out, the burly young woman Sha Jin suddenly slowed down, but still didn't stop, continuing to fly deeper into the desert.

Yang Che guessed that Sha Jin was mostly doing this on purpose, wanting to lure him further away from Zi Tian City.

His eyes narrowed, Yang Che no longer held back, activating the ‘Instant Movement’ Divine Ability of his imitation Ancient Treasure, Flash Cloud Boots, and his figure flashed and disappeared.

The next moment, he had already appeared directly in front of Sha Jin, cutting off her path deeper into the desert.

“You’re courting death!”

The burly Sha Jin’s eyes revealed a terrifyingly fierce glint, and she directly patted her spirit beast bag, releasing the enormous giant python.

The giant python also showed fierce eyes, rapidly twisting its massive body on the sand, and soon surrounded Yang Che.

However, just then, Yang Che’s mind stirred, and the Ancient Blood Corpse ‘Mie’ appeared in front of the giant python’s massive, triangular, flat head.

“Mie, kill this giant python, and its blood is yours to drink!”

Mie’s eyes immediately showed excitement and madness, and before Yang Che’s words had even finished, he eagerly pounced towards the giant python.

An Ancient Corpse and a large snake quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

Yellow sand swirled wildly, and waves of bloody scent continuously diffused.

Sha Jin was even more enraged, and with a series of angry shouts, dozens of sand spears condensed, directly piercing towards Yang Che.

At the same time, she opened her mouth and spat out a strangely shaped gray Dharma Wheel.

As this Dharma Wheel continuously rotated, flames quickly ignited around it, cutting and burning towards Yang Che.
