"It's fine!" Beigong War God said, "I've sealed his meridians, making him temporarily unconscious. He'll wake up in five days!"

"Oh!" Su Yang nodded, but he became more puzzled in his heart. What exactly did Beigong War God mean by this? Why seal Lü Donglin's meridians for no reason?

Beigong War God looked at Su Yang and said seriously, "Su Alliance Leader, I need to entrust you with a task!"

"Uncle Beigong, please tell me!" Su Yang quickly responded, feeling a bit nervous due to Beigong War God's serious demeanor, unsure of what was going on.

"During this time, I need you to help take care of Donglin for me!" Beigong War God said.

"Huh?" Su Yang was taken aback, not understanding what Beigong War God meant.

"From here on, Donglin is in your hands. You need to hide him away, making sure he's not discovered by the Four Major Sects, especially not by the people of the Jade-faced Judge!" Beigong War God stated.

Su Yang finally understood Beigong War God's intentions, growing even more bewildered as it seemed like a last request from an elder.

"Uncle Beigong, I can hide you both in a safe place where the people of the Four Major Sects will never find you!" Su Yang said. "Rest assured, we can leave at any time!"

Beigong War God shook his head, "I can't leave!"

"Huh?" Su Yang was surprised again, "Why?"

"I need to go back!" Beigong War God looked towards the direction of the Northern Three Provinces.

"Why?" Su Yang was baffled. Beigong War God was already here, and there was no activity from the Four Major Sects, which meant they didn't know he had left.

Logically, now was the perfect time for Beigong War God to hide with Su Yang. What was going on? Why does Beigong War God want to go back?

Beigong War God glanced at Su Yang and said softly, "The Four Major Sects have completely surrounded the city where I lived..."

"Then you shouldn't go back!" Su Yang said anxiously.

"But do you know how I left the city with Donglin when it was surrounded?" Beigong War God asked.

Su Yang shook his head. This was the most confusing part for him.

"I left my power in that city!" Beigong War God said quietly, "They sensed my power and thought I was still in that city!"

"What... what do you mean?" Su Yang was confused. What did it mean to leave his power in that city?

"The secret technique I cultivate is different from others." Beigong War God said, "My cultivation method is called the Nine-Turn Profound Skill. Each turn requires exhausting the power and retraining the body for an upgrade. The power depletion needs a vessel to temporarily store the energy until the body is ready to reclaim it. My power is now in that vessel, still in that city. If I don't return, a lifetime of hard cultivation will be wasted!"

Su Yang finally understood the situation and was utterly shocked. Nine-Turn Profound Skill was indeed recorded in the Heavenly Destiny Treasure Book, which Su Yang had read before but didn't memorize.

Now, hearing Beigong War God, Su Yang recalled the content of the Nine-Turn Profound Skill, which matched what Beigong War God described, requiring a vessel to store power. Beigong War God wasn't lying and clearly explained how he secretly left the city under the Four Major Sects' siege.

"But the Four Major Sects have now sealed off that city..." Su Yang said softly, "Uncle Beigong, if you go back, it will be very dangerous!"

"Dangerous?" Beigong War God laughed boldly, "Perhaps I can't defeat them, but it's not easy for them to keep me either!"

Seeing Beigong War God's confident expression, Su Yang felt a rush of excitement.

Indeed, this was Beigong War God! Perhaps he couldn't take on so many people from the Four Major Sects, but keeping Beigong War God was no easy task either.

Having brought Lü Donglin to Su Yang, and with his trusted followers likely settled, Beigong War God was now free of concerns. He could stay or leave as he wished, and the Four Major Sects couldn't do anything about him!

"In that case, Uncle Beigong, I'll wait for you here!" Su Yang smiled, "Once you retrieve your power, hurry over. When we reunite, I'll immediately take you into hiding, and the Four Major Sects won't be able to do anything to us!"

"No way!" Beigong War God shook his head firmly.

"Why?" Su Yang was puzzled, not understanding Beigong War God's reasoning.

Beigong War God said, "Once I recover my power, the people of the Four Major Sects will track me. No matter where I go, they can follow me. If I come looking for you, they'll find you too. You are already their target; under no circumstances can they find you!"

Su Yang had an epiphany, feeling somewhat downcast. If Beigong War God couldn't hide with him in the World Melting Furnace, the Four Major Sects would definitely continue to hunt him, leaving him to wonder how long he'd have to keep running.

Seeing Su Yang's mood, Beigong War God laughed, "Don't worry, the Four Major Sects can't hold out for long. Heaven hasn't intervened because they're waiting for you to appear, planning to catch you unawares. However, if you never show up, Heaven won't wait forever. Besides, in the last two battles against the Four Major Sects, Heaven suffered losses and will certainly seek revenge. Once Heaven starts to act, the Four Major Sects will be too busy to concern themselves with me. You don't need to worry at all!"

Su Yang thought for a moment, realizing it was indeed the case. He nodded in agreement.

"Thank you, Su Alliance Leader!" Beigong War God nodded to Su Yang and left swiftly without saying more.

Here, only Xue Nu and three others remained on the scene.

Watching in the direction Beigong War God had left, Xue Nu and the short-haired woman felt complicated emotions. It was clear they truly wanted to return and fight alongside Beigong War God. But ultimately, they resolutely turned to Su Yang.

"Su Alliance Leader, we entrust this matter to you!" Xue Nu said respectfully.

"No problem!" Su Yang nodded and, watching Beigong War God disappear from sight, suddenly asked, "By the way, how did you get here so quickly? I just made the call, and you reached the Capital City in twenty minutes? How is that possible?"

"No, that's not the case!" Xue Nu shook his head. "Actually, we were already in the Capital City. After the last battle between the Four Major Sects and Heaven, the master emerged from seclusion and had us bring the unconscious young master to the Capital City!"
