You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"Boom!"

The sweep of the saber light sent a tumultuous river of stars piercing through the sky, instantly grinding the caught peaks into dust.

Despite Tian Ku Bodhisattva's instant alertness, he was caught off guard and couldn't resist in time, forced to defend himself with all his might, a layer of ghastly white bones interwoven into a barrier of Heaven and Earth around him.

In an instant, the layers of white bones shattered, and although they blocked most of the saber light's starry river's might, Tian Ku Bodhisattva's lower half was instantly shredded to pieces!

"Damn it!"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva retreated explosively, the White Bone Lotus Seat enveloping him in layers of protection.

Moreover, a great number of mournful ghostly spirits flew out from the lotus seat, wailing as they charged at the greedy Prince Xun.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva's pulverized lower half began to regrow continuously. For a Saintly powerhouse, the power of the Inner Heaven and Earth was enough to reconstruct the body; as long as the injury wasn't to the Primordial Spirit, the body could recover given enough time.

"Not Prince Xun?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva was shocked, his gaze icy, "Divine Artifact Battle Saber? Could it be... that Seventeenth Prince?"

With such terrifying strength and the possession of a Divine Artifact Battle Saber, aside from the legendary Seventeenth Prince, he could think of no other candidate.

Although the Seventeenth Prince was merely a Great Cultivator, he was certain that besides the Divine Artifact Battle Saber, the latter must also possess a Divine Artifact or Semi-Divine Artifact capable of penetrating the Void.

With this advantage, in terms of attack and Teleportation, he was already a match for an ordinary saintly powerhouse!

"Flee."

This decision flashed through Tian Ku Bodhisattva's mind in an instant.

Unable to kill a prince and unable to subdue him, what else could he do but flee?

Moreover, there were rumors that the Seventeenth Prince had once produced an Imperial Decree, who knew if he could produce another new one.

This was Jingzhou; he couldn't unleash his Inner Heaven and Earth Domain here, how could he dare to be the enemy of the Seventeenth Prince?

"Stop him!"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva commanded the ghostly spirits under his control to block the Seventeenth Prince while he himself rushed towards the Array Barrier, attempting to break the Array and leave immediately.

He had helped set up this Array and was well aware of its power.

Even if he attacked the weak points of this Trapping Array with all his might, he would have to strike more than five times to break it and escape.

"Break!"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva stretched out his palm toward the weak spot of the Trapping Array at the Void Barrier, causing the entire Array to tremble.

His Divine Thought Transmission also kept a constant watch on that Seventeenth Prince to avoid another sneak attack.

However—

Tian Ku Bodhisattva's Divine Thought Transmission suddenly realized that the Seventeenth Prince had not eliminated those ghostly spirits but had ignored them completely, charging straight for him.

"Not even blocking?"

Seeing this, Tian Ku Bodhisattva's heart sensed something ominous.

These ghostly spirits, each a formidable Ghost King he had painstakingly cultivated, could match the seventh layer of Tianxia Building; yet they were not blocking the attacks and leaving themselves open?

Lin Yue, disguised as Prince Xun, didn't even glance at the ghostly spirits swarming around him, directly slashing his saber towards Tian Ku Bodhisattva.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva could no longer focus on breaking the Array, but had to first shield himself from Lin Yue's attack.

Netherworld Ghost Energy billowed, bringing with it a bone-chilling coldness that invaded the Primordial Spirit.

"Is this threat enough?"

This thought surfaced in Lin Yue's mind.

The Imperial Decree stated that he could invoke the laws of Heaven and Earth in times of peril; he had already used those laws when trapped by a saintly powerhouse last time.

This meant that as long as he felt threatened, the Imperial Decree would respond.

Logically, the current threat should be sufficient...

Just then—

A tremor rippled through the golden Imperial Decree in Lin Yue's storage space; it unfurled on its own, bursting forth with dazzling radiance.

"Here it comes!"

A surge of joyful anticipation filled Lin Yue.

At this moment, an overwhelming pressure descended, as if all of Heaven were peering down.

Above the firmament, an enormous and mysterious Eye gazed down upon the Human World with indifferent ruthlessness.

"The Eye of Heaven!"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva naturally felt the Eye of Heaven's gaze upon the area, his eyes flickering suddenly as he truly sensed the threat of death.

This place was on the edge of Jingzhou's domain, but he was trapped within an Array!

And the Seventeenth Prince could actually make use of the Imperial Decree?

"Boom!"

Endless laws of Heaven and Earth surged forth, wildly converging towards Lin Yue's body, intensifying the terrifying aura he radiated.

A flicker of horror crossed Tian Ku Bodhisattva's eyes; as he desperately tried to break the Array, he also sent a Divine Thought Transmission to Lin Yue, "Seventeenth Prince, I bear no grudge against you, why must you..."

"Die!"

Lin Yue could not be bothered with idle talk. Wielding the powerful force imbued by the laws of Heaven and Earth, he swung the Divine Artifact Battle Saber once again, cleaving through the air!

Although Tian Ku Bodhisattva was not under the Twelfth Prince's command, he was still aligned with him.

Besides, to change Hong Xi's fate, he must eliminate her enemies as much as possible.

"Boom!"

A vastly larger river of starlight surged fiercely, swallowing up Tian Ku Bodhisattva entirely, frantically shredding him to bits.

Being already reduced to half, Tian Ku Bodhisattva's sacred body began to splinter apart, and he could only slowly close his eyes, "I am but so... It seems it ends here..."

Under the onslaught of the saber intent's surging starlight, his crumbling body was quickly completely dissolved.

The Demon Path giant... Tian Ku Bodhisattva met his end.

But, all the commotion was isolated by the Trapping Array.

Only Lin Yue stood alone, suspended in the air.

"I succeeded."

Lin Yue let out a sigh of relief, "Good thing I had the Mask of Myriad Beings, otherwise killing Tian Ku Bodhisattva would have been nearly impossible..."

The Mask of Myriad Beings' disguise was so astonishingly convincing that even Tian Ku Bodhisattva had no clue he was the fake Prince Xun, convincing him to trust Lin Yue and even to help set up this Trapping Array.
