Xie Lian is trapped in the Kiln and forced to wear a mask resembling White No-Face. White No-Face reveals the origins of Lang Ying and the YongAn Crown Prince's disease. Xie Lian deduces that White No-Face is the Crown Prince of WuYong, enraging him. As they fight, Xie Lian notices a massive stone face observing them, which then attacks White No-Face, revealing itself to be a giant stone hand.

As the massive stone statue was just slowly getting to its feet, the first mountain spirit came crashing down.

Xie Lian remembered Hua Cheng mentioning back in Mount TongLu that those three colossal mountains were formidable threats that had pursued him, so they certainly couldn't be taken lightly. Xie Lian instinctively planned to vault over its head, but having never controlled such a gargantuan divine statue before, manipulating its complex movements proved difficult, causing him to mess up. Instead of jumping, he was knocked down once more.

With a deafening rumble, the heavens trembled and the earth convulsed. The enormous stone statue plummeted near the royal capital of WuYong and obliterated an entire street. With just a minor shift, a series of crackling sounds echoed, signaling the destruction of those opulent residences and palaces as they were crushed and shattered by the colossal stone statue. Amidst the violent shaking, Xie Lian was almost thrown off again, but Hua Cheng firmly grasped his hand and exclaimed, "Come with me!"

He led Xie Lian, and in a few swift moves, they leaped onto the head of the giant divine statue. It turned out that this colossal Flower-Crowned Martial God used a small crown to tie its hair, resembling a miniature balcony, and the two hopped onto this crown, finally finding a stable spot, far steadier than standing on the statue's shoulder or palm.

They had barely a moment to catch their breath when the mountain spirit attacked again, shoving the giant stone statue back several steps. Fortunately, Xie Lian was prepared this time and wasn't sent tumbling, but he inadvertently crushed another row of houses. Xie Lian couldn't help but feel a pang of regret for the destruction, mentally apologizing for the damage. As he clumsily maneuvered the divine statue to evade the houses, Xie Lian wondered in bewilderment, "Why do they keep relentlessly pursuing and attacking me? What have I done wrong?"

"It's not that they're specifically targeting you, gege. They'd attack anyone who crosses their path, and you, gege, stand out quite conspicuously right now."

"Such a massive entity, it is indeed rather noticeable..." Before Xie Lian could finish his thought, the three mountain spirits converged, surrounding the giant stone statue and relentlessly pressing inwards, aiming to crush the statue into fragments. The divine statue couldn't move a muscle, and Xie Lian found himself immobilized. He exerted all his strength to make the statue push back, but it wouldn't budge an inch, leaving its defense precarious!

Just as he pondered an alternative escape route, he involuntarily stepped back, bumping into a solid chest. Glancing back, he saw Hua Cheng grasping his shoulders, "Let go of everything and fight! Don't worry, none of them can match you. There is nothing in this world that can halt your progress!"

His chest felt like the unyielding shield, and suddenly, Xie Lian was filled with an surge of confidence. A wave of invigorating energy coursed through his body, and he unleashed his full might, striking back and shattering the siege!

With a thunderous roar, the three mountain spirits were forcefully flung miles away. Dust billowed, rocks scattered, and smoke and debris filled the air. However, after being repelled, they immediately advanced once more, poised to attack again. Xie Lian's hands rapidly formed a series of hand seals, intoning, "DO, NOT, BLOCK, MY, WAY!"

The colossal stone statue soared into the air, its feet landing atop the heads of two of the mountain

spirits, then its hand rested on the hilt of the sword hung on its waist – pull out the sword!

This entire string of movements flowed like streams of clouds and water, and that giant stone

divine statue completed the actions fluently, its might like a long stretch of a rainbow without any

hesitation, no different than the real person. Sucking in a breath, Xie Lian shouted, “I’LL CUT

Y… Uh, I won’t cut you yet, hold on???”

He was already prepared to swing a glorious sword and cut the mountains into valleys yet

unexpectedly, when the sword was pulled out, it didn’t feel right. When he looked up, he

instantly sweatdropped. That giant stone statue certainly pulled out a sword, but... there’s only a

hilt in its hand. What’s going on???

Where’s the blade???

Xie Lian was dumbfounded while Hua Cheng on the side, dropped his face and supported up

his forehead with two fingers, “...Gege, I’m sorry, I forgot to tell you, I didn’t carve the blade of

this divine statue. It’s my negligence.”

“...”

But of course!

Hua Cheng had carved this statue upon the inner stone walls of the Kiln, and in a standing

posture that giant stone statue’s robes were flowy and layered, the sword on the waist was

concealed beneath the sleeves unexposed, so only a hilt was carved. Before the divine statue

was injected with spiritual powers and started moving, since it didn’t have a blade especially

carved, naturally a blade wouldn’t just magically appear.

Hua Cheng frowned slightly, his expression solemn, “It’s my miscalculation. It’s not exquisite

enough, next time I will carve out every detail.”

“...” Xie Lian could tell he was serious and quickly said, “No no no, it’s already very exquisite.

Really!”

In any case, there was no blade so the mountains couldn’t be cut. Thus, Xie Lian instantly

changed battle tactics – bolt!

He hastily directed that giant stone statue to jump off from the head of those two mountain

spirits, tossing that useless stone hilt behind, and opened its legs to continue its mad run. The

two stood on the crown atop of that divine statue’s head as wild winds blew at their faces, their

black hair, white robes and red sleeves flipping and fluttering. Even though they were fleeing

they painted a beautiful image. A silver butterfly flew next to Xie Lian’s ears and transmitted a

few human voices. He instantly seized the butterfly and called out, “Is that Feng Xin and Mu

Qing on the other side? Is Lord Rain Master and General Pei there too?”

Sure enough, familiar voices came from the other end through the butterfly.

“I say, Your Highness,” Pei Ming said, “There’s no need to be so loud when asking questions?”

“Ah, sorry, I have too much spiritual powers at the moment, let me control it a little.” Xie Lian

said.

“...”

Mu Qing’s voice came too, “What? Did you just say you have too much spiritual powers? You?”

“Have you all met up?” Xie Lian asked, “Where are you?”

“We’ve met up with General Pei, General Pei Junior, and the others, and everyone is in the

woods near the WuYong river. We’re about to retreat to the outside.” Mu Qing said.

Feng Xin’s voice came, “What’s going on on your end? A strong unusual movement seemed to

have come from the Kiln just now! Do you need us to go back and assist?”

Xie Lian quickly replied, “No need! You just stay there and we’ll come pick you all up very soon,

we’ll talk then! Ah, we’re already here!”

Ahead was the dried up WuYong river, and that giant stone statue crossed the gully and

crouched down next to the dense forest. Coincidently, Xie Lian saw Feng Xin and Mu Qing also

emerging from the forest, their eyes scanning their surroundings as if searching for someone. However, their gaze was directed incorrectly, and the thought of looking up never crossed their minds, completely missing Xie Lian and Hua Cheng. Feng Xin directed his words to the butterfly, “Your Highness, you are not here yet? Where are you?”

Xie Lian cupped his hands around his mouth and shouted downwards, “I’M ALREADY HERE, LOOK UP, LOOK UP, ABOVE YOUR HEADS!”

“…”

Only then did the two individuals notice a colossal shadow enveloping them and looked up simultaneously.

At that very instant, they both beheld an unimaginably enormous “Xie Lian,” currently crouched by the edge of the forest, peering down at them. What's more, a genuinely Xie Lian-esque, friendly smile graced its features.

Hua Cheng, unconcerned with the two below, stood to the side with his arms crossed, exuding a lazy air. Xie Lian waved towards them, “DO YOU SEE ME? OVER HERE!”

Nevertheless, the sheer visual impact of this colossal
