    The entire Bloodbone Mountain now resembled a scene from an apocalyptic catastrophe, littered with ruins, splattered blood, and shattered weapons. The once majestic mountain was now unrecognizable, a desolate and horrific sight. "What on earth happened here?" Standing in the center of the ruins, Dongfang Hanwu stared wide-eyed, muttering to herself in shock and bewilderment. Her beautiful eyes revealed not only a hint of confusion but also a deep sense of helplessness and sorrow. Not far away, Elder Jianzhong swiftly rushed to the corpse, now transformed into the shape of phoenix feathers. When he saw the gruesome scene before him, he was speechless, his throat seemingly blocked, unable to utter a sound. Then, he took a deep breath, channeled his powerful inner energy, and slowly dragged the corpse away. At the same time, the Shence Army, which had been blocked outside the city, finally broke through the barrier and surged into the city like a tidal wave. However, when they saw the bloody and horrific scene before them, they all froze, completely at a loss. For a moment, the entire Bloodbone Mountain fell into a deathly silence, broken only by the occasional sound of the wind and the painful groans of the wounded. After a long while, Dongfang Yeying finally came to his senses as if waking from a dream. His eyes were still somewhat dazed, as if he hadn't completely recovered from the terrifying battle just now. Looking at the desolate scene around him, he sighed deeply and said, "Everyone, let's start cleaning up the battlefield..." Just then, everyone suddenly noticed that Dongfang Hanwu was tightly holding Ye Li's hand, walking towards the city gate. In her hand, she was still tightly clutching the ball of light formed from Lu Yan's clone. This ball of light had previously been used to heal the critically injured Zhang family patriarch, but now its light was dim and lifeless, clearly indicating that its energy was almost depleted. Reaching the city gate, Dongfang Hanwu stopped and turned around, bowing slightly to the crowd behind him. "Esteemed seniors, thank you all for your help today. I'll take my leave now." With that, he turned without hesitation, took Ye Li's hand, and strode away with firm, resolute steps. Behind him, Dongfang Yeying opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to say something, but hesitated before slowly speaking, "Xiao Qingxuan has returned to the Dongfang family." Hearing this news, Dongfang Hanwu, who had been striding forward, abruptly stopped, as if time itself had frozen. He stood there silently, motionless, for a long while before resuming his steps, uttering only three words: "Understood." Zhao Jun yearned for unbridled freedom, a desire remarkably similar to Dongfang Hanwu's. However, they chose drastically different paths in life. In pursuit of freedom, Zhao Jun resolutely abandoned his family, close friends, and the heavy responsibility he bore, stepping into the demonic path. While Dongfang Hanwu also yearned for freedom, he could not be so resolute. However, even facing numerous difficulties and obstacles, Dongfang Hanwu's deep-seated desire for freedom never faded. His decision to leave the Dongfang family, even at the cost of abandoning the Dongfang Divine Flame, considered a family heirloom, was simply to live freely. As for Ye Li, he naturally understood why Dongfang Hanwu made these choices. He had willingly given up his position as the young master of the Sword Tomb Sect, following Dongfang Hanwu on this unknown journey without hesitation, because they shared a common ideal—to break free from constraints and pursue a life truly their own. Now, they walked this uncertain path, not knowing where the future would lead, but Dongfang Hanwu never regretted it. Because living according to his own will was something he had always dreamed of. Dongfang Yeying did not stop Dongfang Hanwu from leaving, for he always remembered the promise he made to Dongfang Hanwu's mother. "Our son, he is bravely exploring his own path." Thinking of this, Dongfang Yeying sighed softly, his gaze following Dongfang Hanwu's receding figure for a long time. On the other side, Zhao Jun and Chi Lian closely followed the mysterious man in a pure white robe. At this moment, Chi Lian felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart. He turned to Zhao Jun beside him and asked softly, "Zhao Jun, things have come to this. What do you plan to do next?" The once glorious and revered young master of the Zhao family—Zhao Jun—had now fallen to such a state. First, he had personally murdered his own family head, then cruelly took Wu Xie's life, leading to him being wanted and pursued by the entire Great Xia Dynasty. At this moment, he was like a lone goose, adrift in this vast and boundless world, unsure of where to fly to find refuge. However, facing Chi Lian's question, a faint smile appeared on Zhao Jun's usually cold and stern face. He slowly clenched his slightly trembling hands and said firmly, "Of course, I'll enjoy my own life to the fullest!" Although his heart was still filled with endless pain and sorrow, the feeling of breaking free from shackles and embracing freedom was simply too wonderful. Just then, the white-robed man walking in front suddenly stopped and turned to face Zhao Jun and Chi Lian. He said, "Gentlemen, if you obediently hand over that item, the door to freedom will be open to you without reservation." Hearing this, Zhao Jun's face instantly turned as cold as frost. He said, "Do I need your permission for my freedom?" The white-robed man met Zhao Jun's hostile gaze, his heart tightening, a barely perceptible hint of apprehension flashing in his eyes. However, he quickly regained his composure and burst into laughter: "Hahaha... Well said! Indeed, it's unnecessary. My words were inappropriate; I hope Young Master Zhao won't take offense." After laughing, he composed himself slightly and continued, "However, we took a great risk to help you escape danger this time. If you can hand over that item to us, it would be a mutually beneficial and win-win situation." "Agreed," Zhao Jun said, "but I want to raise the price."
