After Lilian and her three companions had sent Master Barker plummeting into the bottomless chasm of the Bead Peak, they were about to descend into the abyss to confirm his fate.
However, Gilmore halted them. “Lilian, there’s no need to go down and check.”
A trace of worry flickered across Lilian’s face. “But what if Master Barker isn’t dead? Wouldn’t we be letting him off easy?”
Gilmore responded indifferently, “It’s fine.”
Lilian and the other three women looked at him, taken aback.
They hadn’t expected Gilmore to brush it off.
Nevertheless, since he had told them there was no need to check the abyss, they didn’t
1. go.
Instead, they landed next to Gilmore and the others.
“Gilmore, the Venerable Master seems to have escaped,” Lilian said to him when she looked around but did not see the Venerable Master.
“He won’t get far. Mr. Gould and his companions are already in pursuit,” Gilmore informed her.
“Where is he?” Lilian inquired.
Gilmore pointed towards the other side of the iceberg, just around the corner from their current location.
The Venerable Master had fled to the other side, hence Gilmore couldn’t see him from where they were.
“Let’s go after him,” Lilian said.
Thinking of the Venerable Master’s treacherous and venomous nature, Lilian wished nothing more than to vanquish him once and for all.
Gilmore nodded.
Without delay, everyone flew towards the other side of the iceberg.
After reaching the other side, they discovered a valley–like area amidst the ice, several hundred yards away.
Yes, a valley on the iceberg!
The valley was vast enough to hold thousands of people.
And the valley was surrounded by cliffs piled up with snow.
In the valley, they saw the Venerable Master, already encircled by Kean and thousands of masters from the Secret Sect.
“Your end is at hand, Venerable Master!” Kean proclaimed with a glint of hatred in his eyes, speaking coldly.
The Venerable Master chuckled disdainfully. “Kean, you’re nothing but a defeated foe. Thinking you can kill me is pure fantasy!”
Unperturbed, Kean retorted, “Is that so? You’re cornered. Let’s see how you’ll escape this!”
“Huh, Kean, I’m afraid you’re in for a disappointment. Today is not my end. On the contrary, it’s yours,” countered the Venerable Master, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

O
With that, a fierce glint flashed across his eyes.
The next moment, he shouted coldly, “Where are the one thousand masters of the Bead Peak?”
Following his cold shout, the snow erupted in chaos, swirling in all directions with a loud rustling sound.
From the mountainside, mounds of snow burst apart, revealing figures dressed in white.
There were a total of a thousand people on the valley cliff.

A thousand skilled masters from the Bead Peak stood ready, bows drawn, aiming directly at Kean and the rest of the Secret Sect masters in the valley below.
Yes, these were the Venerable Master’s elite forces, pre–positioned in an ambush.
The Venerable Master had lured Kean and his companions into this valley as part of a deadly trap.
He planned to annihilate them all in one fell swoop.
“Swoosh…”
Just then, Gilmore and his companions landed in the valley.
Seeing Gilmore and the others arrive, Kean looked uneasy.
That was because they had already fallen into the Venerable Master’s ambush. Moreover, there were over a thousand elites on the cliff, holding bows and arrows as they looked down from above.
Once they fired their arrows, there would be no way to prevent them from suffering heavy casualties.
Seeing Gilmore and the others appear, the Venerable Master, just like Kean, had a flash of worry in his eyes.
He knew that Lilian and Claire, who were next to Gilmore, were cultivators. He could not afford to offend them.
Lilian and the others were safe and sound, standing next to Gilmore. However, Master Barker was nowhere to be seen.
This made him feel that Master Barker was in grave danger.
The Venerable Master was extremely anxious.
He just wanted to lure Kean and others into an ambush and then kill them.
But he hadn’t anticipated Gilmore and his friends arriving so soon.
The Venerable Master thought Master Barker would have held them off longer until he’d dealt with Kean and his forces.
However, their plan couldn’t keep up with the changes.
He didn’t expect that Lilian and the others could defeat Master Barker so quickly.
The Venerable Master’s eyes flashed with fierceness.

The resolute Venerable Master then appeared like a mighty eagle spreading its wings, soaring towards the top of the valley.
As he ascended, he ordered, “Release the arrows!”
A thousand archers then let loose a deadly rain of arrows upon the valley.
“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh…”

The sound of arrows tearing through the air was relentless.
The arrows, sharp and forged from mystic iron, glittered menacingly.
Standing in the valley, Kean frowned.
He could see that the arrows were all made of black iron, strong enough to cause casualties to a master below the Martial King level.
With so many arrows flying and thousands of Secret Sect masters in the valley, even he, as strong as Martial God was, couldn’t protect everyone.
Anxiety crept into his heart unnoticed.
In the valley below, thousands of Secret Sect masters witnessed a downpour of arrows from the Bead Peak elites positioned along the cliff’s edge.
They were like sitting ducks, with no place to hide in the valley, and escape was a fleeting afterthought as the arrows blocked their path.
Looking at the rain of arrows shooting down at the same time, all the masters of the Secret Sect could sense death approaching.
Defenseless, they were outmatched by the Bead Peak masters‘ ferocity and the deadly mystic–iron arrows they fired.
It seemed the valley would soon turn into a deathbed, the masters from the Secret Sect about to become human sieves.
But then, with a ground–shaking roar, the atmosphere trembled violently.
A burst of purple light unexpectedly erupted.
In the blink of an eye, a massive purple shield spread out at an alarming speed, enveloping the thousands of Secret Sect masters within the valley.
What followed was nothing short of miraculous.
The arrows raining down from the cliff, every last one of them, were repelled by the protective purple glow covering the valley and sent flying back to where they came from.
Yes, the arrows that sought to claim their lives were now deflected skyward.
Furthermore, these arrows bounced back to the thousands of Bead Peak elites on the cliff.
None of the elites of the Bead Peak had expected this to happen.
Then, before they could recover from their shock, the flying arrows that had been shot out by the purple air shield in the valley had pierced through their chests and throats…
Atop the cliff, the Bead Peak elites who were hit by the returning arrows let out blood–curdling screams.
One by one, they fell from the cliff, struck down by their own attack.
Even the Venerable Master, yet to reach the cliff’s summit, was shot in the arm by a deflecting arrow.
The pain elicited a scream from him.
These were no ordinary arrows, but mystic–iron ones.
With the strength of the Martial God and the protection of Martial God energy, he should have been able to withstand the
။
black iron arrows.

However, when the black iron arrows hit the purple energy barrier in the valley, they were sent flying back by a powerful force.
This unforeseen power boosted the arrows‘ lethality, wounding even a Martial God martialists like the Venerable Master.
With an arrow lodged in his arm, the Venerable Master was taken aback.
Seeing the incredible energy emanating from the purple shield in the valley, he realized that a cultivator from the opposing side had made a move.
Despite his injury, the Venerable Master, brushing aside the pain, hurriedly flew toward the cliff.
“Swoosh!”
Then, another sound of the sky being broken tore through the air.
And the Venerable Master’s leg took the next hit.
Gazing down at his bleeding leg, the Venerable Master could only grit his teeth and continue his ascent.
Meanwhile, within the valley’s purple shield, Kean, Maria, and the rest of the Secret Sect masters were completely stunned!
