Jun Jixue smiled and said, "Before you arrived, Master Liu and I had already guessed this possibility."

"The Reincarnation Division has big plans, but it also gives you an opportunity." Jun Jixue said, "If the Reincarnation Division employs Huangquan smugglers as high-level members of the sect, it will no longer be a dispute in the Yang Jian (human realm), but will involve the iron laws of the netherworld."

"Even if the civilian officials faction supports them, the Reincarnation Division cannot act recklessly. Otherwise, it will give the Ten Yama Envoys a reason to uproot them."

Jun Jixue said seriously, "Therefore, before the Reincarnation Division uses those people, that's when you are most in danger."

"You must be careful, the Reincarnation Division will attack you on the Snow Mountain."

I nodded slightly and said, "I will be careful."

Jun Jixue laughed, "Brother Li, a battle between you and me is inevitable. I have already said the reason just now. The Snow Mountain is just the place for us to decide the outcome."

I smiled and stood up: "If that's the case, then please!"

"Bring the saber!" Jun Jixue threw off his cloak and took the Miao saber from Fei Sha's hand, striding towards the outside of the tent.

I also took the black and white double blades from Wang Butcher and walked out of the camp.

Jun Jixue and I stood in the皑皑 (ái ái) white snow, holding our sabers in salute.

The Two Realms Hall, the Surveillance Division, and the Reincarnation Division, experts from all sides rushed to the scene and stood on the periphery to witness this battle of warriors.

Jun Jixue said: "Brother Li, in this battle, I will do my best, I hope you will not hold back either."

I responded with a smile: "Although I am a术士 (shù shì) [sorcerer], I have a martial heart. Naturally, I understand the profound meaning of this battle."

"Please!"

Jun Jixue's long saber was unsheathed, his feet naturally opened neither inward nor outward, level with his shoulders, his hands held the saber handle, upright in front of him. Just a starting stance brought out the霸气 (bà qì) [overbearing aura] of a ruler descending upon the world.

The vast Snow Mountain, no, it should be said the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, all were at his feet. The Sixteen Heavenly Fiends raised their sabers to cheer him on. A mere sixteen people were like a thousand troops and ten thousand horses, their military might was awe-inspiring, and their momentum was like a rainbow.

Thousands of feet of Snow Mountain, thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, and endless soldiers, all were contained within Jun Jixue's saber.

As my double blades spread outward, the Di Sha (earthly fiend) blood energy rose like a mist, and although the battle had not yet begun, it already seemed like I was covered in blood.

The black and white double blades in my hands turned into two scowling demon ghosts in the shape of curved sabers, their sharp howls shattered the air, and their bloodthirsty aura burst forth.

Lin Zhao was about to shout and cheer for me when Old Liu suddenly unfolded his folding fan, and three ghost gods broke through the air and roared at the sky, forcibly suppressing Lin Zhao's voice.

Old Liu said in a deep voice: "Jun Jixue's saber stance is like a world-镇 (zhèn) [suppressing] ruler, while the Master's saber stance is like a ghost of a chaotic world."

"Jun Jixue can be allowed to compete with the Master in martial arts, but his saber stance must not be allowed to suppress the Master, otherwise, the Master's heart as a術者 (shù zhě) [sorcerer] will inevitably be subdued, and he will become a warrior under Jun Jixue's command from now on."

"Help the Master with the way of ghosts!"

As Old Liu spoke, ghostly energy steamed around him, and Nie Xiaoqian and Qin Xin appeared one after another, holding up blood umbrellas and joining the ranks of the ghost gods.

Although the Black Night Owl did not move, the incantations in his mouth were as loud as a bell, spreading throughout the wilderness. Countless wronged souls appeared from the Snow Mountain, showing their figures and covering the mountains, turning the icy world into an endless ghost domain.

Old Liu moved his folding fan again: "Ten thousand ghosts appear, Asura commands the army, Asura, come forth—"

The figure behind Feng Ruoxing stood proudly, with heavy blood clouds, like ten thousand troops pressing down on the Snow Mountain. A moment ago, they were still chaotic and disorderly ghosts, but in an instant, it was as if someone was marching and deploying troops, and they were integrated into several phalanxes, and surrounded the battlefield.

At this time, Old Liu was like a behind-the-scenes strategist, using his own strength to mobilize ghosts from all directions, setting up an ambush on all sides.

Old Liu gently shook his folding fan and said, "Don't move anyone else, Jun Jixue has already entered the Di Sha (earthly fiend) realm. Whether the Master can use the power of the Netherworld to break through the Di Sha (earthly fiend) realm while balancing the momentum of both sides depends on this competition of momentum."

Ye Yang said in a deep voice: "Old Liu, this competition is not as simple as it seems on the surface, right? It seems like a duel between two people, but it involves the forces of both sides? This is different from what they agreed upon beforehand."

Old Liu shook his folding fan lightly and said, "This is the result of my discussion with Jun Jixue."

"The Master needs to understand the 'past' to go further. If you want the Master to understand the saber in battle, you must involve everyone in the Two Realms Hall."

"The Master's past is like a游侠 (yóu xiá) [wandering knight], in the Two Realms Hall but always wants to face life and death alone. He is unwilling to let the Two Realms Hall accompany him in life and death, so he has been unable to understand the saber. Only by cutting off the past can he understand the deep meaning of the saber."

Lin Zhao said in a low voice: "If the past is cut off, is Li Po still Li Po?"

Old Liu smiled and said: "Only when the Master cuts off the past can he stand in the present. He will realize that the things he wants to protect are becoming more and more numerous and heavier, but this kind of protection does not only belong to himself, but to the entire Two Realms Hall."

"Cut off the past, the love is deeper; cut off the past, the righteousness is heavier."

"He will completely understand: friends, brothers, and relatives are never single existences, but a joint guardianship."

"If you don't force the Master, he will never understand this principle."

Ye Yang nodded slightly and looked at the battlefield again.

Zhu Zining's voice suddenly came from a distance: "A fair battle that was agreed upon in advance has become a ghost way to disturb the mind. The actions of the Two Realms Hall are really disgusting."

"Our Reincarnation Division is willing to cheer for Commander Jun!"

Old Liu's eyes sank slightly: "Sure enough, they have come!"
