Lv Donglin smiled and nodded, "That''s right, if it were me, upon finding a space bracelet, I''d definitely think you were hiding inside it and wouldn''t continue searching. Haha, who would''ve thought that the two of us are actually hiding inside the World Melting Furnace? They won''t keep searching the World Melting Furnace now!"

    Back then, Su Yang and Lv Donglin took advantage of the Jade-faced Judge''s escape and the shock among the others to quickly rush to the spot where the World Melting Furnace was hidden and hide inside it.

    Meanwhile, Su Yang also left a space bracelet in the original location, buried underground, to deceive the Lingxiao Pavilion Master and Sect Leader Qi.

    These two really yed along well. When they discovered the space bracelet, they immediately assumed that Su Yang was hiding inside it.

    This space bracelet was carefully chosen by Su Yang, with a very strong seal inside that was difficult to open. Unable to open the bracelet on the spot, the Lingxiao Pavilion Master and Sect Leader Qi were even more convinced that Su Yang was inside it. They would stop searching and leave the ce with the bracelet.

    In their view, as long as they took the bracelet away with Su Yang inside, it would be the same as having captured him; Su Yang couldn''t possibly escape.

    But in fact, Su Yang and Lv Donglin were still hiding inside the World Melting Furnace not far away, something they never anticipated. This was the escape n Su Yang had been plotting for a long time, and indeed, it fooled these people.

    "It''s a pity that we couldn''t kill the Second Elder and the Jade-faced Judge this time!" Su Yang frowned, speaking in a deep voice, "The Jade-faced Judge actually has an artifact that can open the Gate of Life. With such an object, it''s really difficult to kill him."

    "Although we didn''t manage to kill them, the Jade-faced Judge also lost so many subordinates." Lv Donglin smiled, "The strength of his subordinates is quite formidable, and I guess most of them are close confidants of the Jade-faced Judge. Although the Second Elder and the Jade-faced Judge didn''t die this time, the casualties on the Judge''s side were severe, a great loss of primordial energy. From here on, they will surely be fugitives, endlessly pursued by Lingxiao Pavilion and the Ends of the Earth, and won''t be able to stir up much trouble!"

    Su Yang was not as optimistic as Lv Donglin. He knew very well that the Jade-faced Judge must have some scheme. Moreover, his frantic efforts to save the Second Elder clearly indicated the Second Elder''s significant role in his ns.

    Under such circumstances, with both the Jade-faced Judge and the Second Elder escaping alive, the Judge''s ns could still proceed. This was what Su Yang was most worried about!

    After all the effort, he aimed to deal with these two, at least to disrupt the Jade-faced Judge''s scheme. But now, he had only eliminated a batch on the Judge''s side, without touching his n; wasn''t all this effort in vain?

    After pondering for a while, Su Yang spoke in a deep voice, "Let''s go, this ce is not safe for long. If those people break the bracelet and realize we''re not inside, they''ll surelye back to continue searching."

    "You''re right!" Lv Donglin nodded and quickly followed Su Yang as they hurriedly left.

    ...

    Three hundred kilometers away from Qingfeng Mountain, in a hidden forest, the Second Elder and the Three-eyed Ghost King were watching intently.

    The two had used the Gate of Life to leave the battlefield and found themselves in this woond. Now, they were waiting here to rendezvous with the Jade-faced Judge.

    Having waited for so long without seeing the Judge appear, the Second Elder was full of worry, "Could Elder Ge not have escaped? With so many people from those two major sects, once they surround Elder Ge, escaping would be difficult."

    The Three-eyed Ghost King, however, was full of confidence, "The Lord will definitely escape; those people cannot stop him!"

    The Second Elder nced at the Three-eyed Ghost King, feeling somewhat helpless about his blind confidence. Though the Jade-faced Judge''s power is strong, the problem is he''s up against Lingxiao Pavilion, the Ends of the Earth, and those people who have defected from the Medicine Sect.

    Most of these people are Land Immortals, including some extremely powerful experts. How could the Jade-faced Judge escape from them all?

    However, after all, his life was saved by the Jade-faced Judge, so he was very grateful to him. Despite the slim chances, he stayed with the Three-eyed Ghost King, anxiously waiting.

    After this event, the Second Elder was truly terrified. He finally understood that he could no longer control the situation. Continuing to show himself would only result in death at the hands of Lingxiao Pavilion and the Ends of the Earth, so now he only wanted to hide somewhere safe, quietly preserving his life, and wait for the Heavenly Court to return and administer justice for him.

    Of course, he still needed to keep the Jade-faced Judge and his people close. As a lone man now, if he didn''t have their support, he''d have nothing and still needed a batch of subordinates.

    After waiting a bit longer, from afar a blood shadow rapidly approached, it was indeed the Jade-faced Judge.

    The Jade-faced Judge, covered in blood,nded directly in front of them. Uponnding, his body wavered, almost unable to stand firm.

    "Lord!" Three-eyed Ghost King eximed and quickly went to support him, "Lord, how... how are you?"

    The Second Elder was also full of concern, seeing just how severely injured the Judge seemed to be.

    "No worries!" The Jade-faced Judge waved his hand, attempting to speak but suddenly coughing, spraying a mouthful of blood.

    "Elder Ge!" The Second Elder rushed over, "You''re too severely injured, don''t get agitated. Lie down first, let me treat you!"

    "No worries, no worries..." The Jade-faced Judge waved his hand repeatedly, "Those people are still searching for us everywhere, we... we cannot linger here, we must leave promptly, find a safe ce to hide. Three-eyed, I... I just used the Blood Escape Technique to get away, now... now I''m too depleted, you... you carry me..."

    The faces of the Three-eyed Ghost King and the Second Elder changed, they certainly knew the consequences of using the Blood Escape Technique!

    "Elder Ge, this... this is really too much for you!" The Second Elder said gratefully, knowing that if it weren''t for the Jade-faced Judge covering their retreat at the time, he would have had ample opportunity to leave by himself.

    Ultimately, the Judge stayed to cover their escape, letting them leave first. Afterwards, he had to use the Blood Escape Technique—a method consuming his essence—to flee, which filled the Elder with guilt.

    "No worries, no worries..." The Jade-faced Judge appeared indifferent, "I... I just didn''t expect that surnamed Su would set such a trap, using people from those two major sects to his advantage. Ah, it''s my fault!"
