Chapter 386

"I came here tonight to ask only one question, where is the entrance and exit you use?" the Book Saint, Liber, asked with a warm smile.

The official-robed man froze, looking at the green-robed scholar in astonishment. "To think that even the Book Saint would learn of this, those two subordinates of mine were kidnapped by you people, weren’t they?"

"Correct, so I will ask once more, where is the entrance and exit?" Liber’s tone turned solemn, a hint of murderous intent surfacing in his eyes.

The official-robed man furrowed his brows tightly.

"My Lord, you do not need to answer him, though I am old, holding this fellow back is well within my power," the elderly protector spoke up.

"If two Saint Realm experts clash, the Heavenly Court will surely notice, when that happens, it will be this man’s doom!"

The elder’s voice was raspy, but the aura rolling off him was terrifying.

"It seems that unless we trade blows, you won’t speak willingly!" Liber knew time was precious. A painting scroll materialized in his hand.

"Landscape Painting Scroll!"

Liber tossed the scroll into the air, it instantly unleashed a brilliant beam of light.

The elder, the official-robed man, and Liber were all pulled inside, though Liber entered of his own volition.

Inside the Painting Scroll.

Green mountains and lush waters formed a picturesque landscape, with flocks of birds soaring through the peaks.

"What a magnificent landscape painting, Liber has likely stepped into the Fifth Stage of the Saint Realm, My Lord, stay close to me, this battle will be perilous beyond measure." The white-haired elder’s eyes were filled with solemn caution.

"I will give you one last chance, will you speak or not?" Liber descended before them, his voice calm and indifferent.

"Hmph! To make us yield, you are nowhere near qualified." The elder sneered, his figure blurred, vanishing from the spot and reappearing behind Liber, striking out with a palm.

The palm wind howled with immense momentum, yet Liber seemed to possess foresight, he predicted the movement in advance, leaning to the side, a book appeared in his grasp, and a single character drifted from its pages.

"Slow!"

The elder’s palm genuinely decelerated, allowing Liber to dodge easily, with a flick of his wrist, another character flew out.

"Sword!"

Instantly, a sky full of sword qi pierced toward the white-haired elder.

His expression changed dramatically, he hadn’t expected Liber’s divine abilities to be this bizarre, he hastily unleashed a flurry of palms, neutralizing the incoming sword qi.

The two clashed, their movements astonishingly fast, leaving only afterimages intertwining in midair.

The official-robed man stood aside without intervening, his cultivation was far from sufficient for a battle of this level, he could only watch and wait for an opening.

Boom! A deafening crash rang out, the white-haired elder coughed up blood and was sent flying, slamming heavily into the ground.

"Elder!" the official-robed man shouted in alarm.

"It is nothing, My Lord, this old servant is fine!"

The elder climbed back up, significantly injured, he had lost the very first exchange, yet he showed no intention of giving up, scrambling to his feet to continue.

Dread flickered in the official-robed man’s eyes, he knew of the Book Saint, but never imagined the man would be this terrifyingly strong.

If Liber wanted to, he could cut him down in an instant, he had to find a way to escape, but trapped inside this painting scroll, where could he run?

"Suppress!"

"Sever!"

When they clashed again, it was complete domination, the elder was suppressed so thoroughly he couldn’t even lift his head.

"I entered the Saint Realm through palm techniques and mastered every technique under the sun, to think I would lose to a mere scholar!" The elder gave a cold laugh, his eyes turning scarlet as if something were wriggling within them.

"Heaven and Earth Primordial Chaos Palm!"

An overbearing palm print manifested before Liber in the next instant, it was too late to dodge.

"Shield!"

Boom! The palm print collided with the glowing shield, producing an explosive rumble.

"My Lord, quick, seize the moment!" the elder shouted.

The official-robed man was already prepared, clutching a jade pendant, he channeled his vital energy into it.

Buzz! Blinding radiance erupted from the pendant, enveloping him completely, his figure began to fade.

A Teleportation Jade Pendant.

The elder breathed a sigh of relief, as long as the lord was safe, nothing else mattered.

Yet in the very next second, the official-robed man materialized right back in front of them.

"How is this possible? The teleportation pendant had no effect?" He paled in horror, staring at Liber in disbelief.

"Inside my painting scroll, where exactly do you think you can teleport to?" Liber sneered, sending out another character.

"Bind!"

The official-robed man froze in place, unable to move a muscle.

"Now, can you tell me where the entrance and exit are?" Liber walked up to him, his voice icy.

"I... I don’t know..." the official-robed man stammered.

"You don’t know? Then I’ll beat you until you do!" Liber’s gaze grew cold, and he aimed a punch straight at the official-robed man.

The strike was intercepted by the elder, who rushed over with a massive palm print.

"Your opponent is me!"

"You’re making it look like I’m the villain here." Two more words flew from Liber’s book in rapid succession.

"Break!"

"Shatter!"

The massive palm print shattered instantly.

The elder’s face twisted in shock, not daring to be careless, he unleashed his ultimate techniques to clash with Liber once more, yet his realm was inferior to begin with, even with far more years of experience, it amounted to nothing in the face of absolute power, he was once again pushed into a one-sided beatdown.

Watching this, despair flashed in the official-robed man’s eyes, he knew he likely wouldn’t escape today, yet he was unwilling to bow to Liber, his mind was caught in turmoil, uncertain of what to do.

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and resolve hardened in his gaze, he knew he could no longer drag this out, a decision had to be made.
