Ye Chen questions Lin Rutian's loyalty, but Lin Rutian subtly asserts that harming Ye Chen would not benefit him. Three days later, they arrive at a mountain range shrouded in a formation, which they navigate on foot using a specific stepping technique. They enter a mansion where they are greeted by Steward Chen and the massive Chen Family Master. During a banquet, Lin Rutian expresses confusion about the prepared wine, revealing he brought a special jug of Red Cloud Jade Brew from the Ancient Wine God Sect, a wine renowned for its quality and inability to be poisoned.

In the next moment, Lin Rutian suddenly uncovered the lid of the darkened wine jar, and an unusual fragrance immediately permeated the entire banquet hall. Upon inhaling this aroma, everyone present felt invigorated!

Concurrently, a surge of red clouds instantly erupted from the mouth of the jar!

Ye Chen secretly nodded. He knew that the spirit wine from the Wine God Sect possessed a unique fragrance, imbued with a certain Dao Integration that no winemaker could replicate. This particular jar of wine was, without a doubt, the Red Cloud Jade Brew from the Wine God Sect!

The Chen Family Master let out a hearty laugh and proclaimed, "Look at me, I completely overlooked this matter!"

He then clapped his hands and instructed, "Servants, fetch new cups and fill them with this Red Cloud Jade Brew. Today, I shall drink with Young Master Lin until we are happily inebriated!"

Steward Chen entered the hall and proceeded to refill everyone’s glasses. Raising his cup, Lin Rutian smiled and addressed the Chen Family Master, "Please!"

Having spoken, he was the first to drain his glass in a single draught, exclaiming, "Excellent wine!"

The Chen Family Master gazed at the radiant Red Cloud Jade Brew shimmering in his cup. After a moment's hesitation, he swiftly lifted his glass and poured the entire contents down his throat!

Witnessing this, Lin Rutian slowly set down the Jade Vase and calmly inquired, "Chen Family Master, have you ever heard a particular rumor?"

The Chen Family Master asked, "What rumor is that?"

Lin Rutian took the jar of Red Cloud Jade Brew and poured himself another cup. He swirled the Jade Vase, observing the wine's movement within as he spoke, "Legend has it that within the Dark Domain, there exists a clandestine faction known as the Faceless Divine Sect. It is said that disciples who join this sect must cultivate a secret technique, one that completely erases their facial features. Are you aware of this?"

The Chen Family Master looked at Lin Rutian with evident confusion and stated, "Young Master Lin, I have never encountered any mention of this Faceless Divine Sect."

"Is that so?" Lin Rutian savored the Red Cloud Jade Brew and inquired with a smile, "Does this wine taste pleasant?"

The Chen Family Master displayed an expression of extreme satisfaction and replied, "It's more than pleasant; it's the world's supreme grade!"

Lin Rutian downed the Red Cloud Jade Brew in one go and abruptly let the Jade Vase fall to the ground. He then declared, "Hmm, however, not everyone is destined to partake in my wine. Those who dare to drink what they shouldn't are only fit to pay with their lives!"

The Chen Family Master's expression abruptly shifted, and he asked, "Young Master Lin, what is the meaning of your words?"

Lin Rutian offered no direct reply. Instead, he turned his gaze to Ye Chen and asked, "Young Master Ye, did this individual's strength exhibit any change subsequent to consuming the wine?"

Ye Chen shook his head and responded, "No."

Upon hearing this confirmation, Lin Rutian directed a cold smile towards the Chen Family Master and declared, "You are a member of the Faceless Divine Sect, are you not? It is rumored that your sect excels in transformation techniques. Furthermore, you possess the ability to perfectly mimic a person's demeanor, rendering them indistinguishable even to their closest relatives."

A flicker of anger crossed the Chen Family Master's face as he retorted, "Young Master Lin, what baseless accusations are these!"

Lin Rutian's smile intensified with coldness as he continued, "Regrettably, even the Faceless Divine Sect cannot replicate a person's innate constitution. You may not be aware, but the Chen Family Master is blessed with an exceptionally rare spirit body, known as the Red Cloud Body!"

At this revelation, the Chen Family Master's composure finally faltered!

Lin Rutian went on, "However, you cannot be entirely blamed. The Red Cloud Body typically manifests no discernible signs. Yet, upon consuming spirit wine abundant in pure Red Cloud Energy, the Chen Family Master's strength would experience a dramatic surge!>

This particular jar of wine was indeed acquired by the Chen Family Master through my channels, but its purpose was not for this banquet. It was intended as a hidden trump card. Consequently, the Chen Family Master would naturally refrain from consuming the Red Cloud Jade Brew that enhances his power during this gathering."

Lin Rutian's eyes held a hint of sorrow as he continued, "Your imitation was flawless; you deceived me without the slightest trace of error. Initially, even under these circumstances, I would not have been completely certain of your affiliation with the Faceless Divine Sect. Unfortunately, on this occasion, I brought Young Master Ye along...>

You have partaken of the wine, and now you must forfeit your life to avenge my friend."

As his words concluded, Elder Jun, seated beside Lin Rutian, suddenly stood. A heaven-shaking, earth-shattering momentum emanated from him, surging like a torrent. The laws of nomological power coalesced around him, seemingly poised to reshape the very fabric of the world!

Ye Chen's eyes widened in astonishment. At this moment, Elder Jun appeared as a divine sovereign, eternally commanding all existence!

Is this the might of a being in the Qiankun Realm?

Truly terrifying!

Even though Elder Jun had not yet unleashed his full power, Ye Chen felt an overwhelming sense of suffocation!

The nomological power accumulated by him was tremendously abundant, far surpassing Lin Ku's capabilities!

Without hesitation, Elder Jun unleashed a palm strike towards the Chen Family Master!

Intense nomological power transformed into the purest Hand Dao Essence, manifesting a palm that seemed sculpted from white jade within the banquet hall. As this palm imprint materialized, it appeared to warp the very fabric of the surroundings!

The white jade palm imprint advanced, its movement deceptively slow yet incredibly swift, descending upon the Chen Family Master, exerting immense pressure!

With a deafening roar, this palm hadn't even fully landed, yet the entire banquet hall and the grand mansion were instantly reduced to nothingness. The Chen Family Master emitted a mournful cry as a cloud of blood mist burst forth from his body!

Intertwined with the blood mist, tendrils of gray-black fog billowed out from various parts of the Chen Family Master's form. As this ominous fog emerged, the Chen Family Master's physique underwent a rapid and horrifying transformation!

His once colossal figure began to shrink relentlessly. Within mere moments, the Chen Family Master was reduced to a diminutive man.

Most disturbingly, the face of this minuscule man was utterly devoid of features—no eyes, no nose, no mouth, utterly lacking the defining characteristics of a face!

The man let out a piercing shriek, his entire spiritual energy surging to its zenith, his aura ascending towards the heavens!

This individual was a cultivator at the absolute peak of the Heavenly Repair Realm!

However, Ye Chen merely offered a slight shake of his head. This practitioner from the Faceless Divine Sect, facing Elder Jun's palm, was utterly defenseless!

In the very next instant, this faceless man was obliterated before he could even attempt an attack, his entire being shattering into a mist of blood that dissipated into the void.

At this juncture, several figures burst forth from the now-devastated mansion, attempting to flee in scattered directions.

Observing their evasive maneuvers, it was clear their martial cultivation levels were exceptionally high, with the least powerful among them residing at the fifth-level of the Heavenly Repair Realm!

Witnessing this, Elder Jun let out a cold snort and calmly uttered, "Freedom Heaven."

Instantly, the surrounding environment shifted dramatically, transforming into a desolate wasteland. Upon this barren ground, the frantic movements of the escaping figures abruptly ceased!

A frigid glint flashed in Elder Jun's eyes. The fleeing figures then exploded like overfilled balloons, vanishing with a resounding 'bang'!
