To attack the Night Watchers within our own territory—is this not a grave insult to us?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the words ended, a figure appeared like a ghost behind the man in the black trench coat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was an old man in a gray robe, his hair silver but his face youthful, holding a staff with a crystal-clear jade gem embedded at its tip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the black trench coat was startled—he spun around and slashed wildly at the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the old man merely waved his staff lightly; an invisible force instantly spread outward, and the man’s blade aura vanished like bubbles before it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Half-step Sovereign? Not impressive.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled faintly, reached out, and grasped—the halberd in the man’s hand flew instantly into the old man’s palm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with a flick of his finger, he infused spiritual power into the halberd, causing it to shatter into countless fragments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The man in the black trench coat was terrified—he knew he had faced a true powerhouse and turned to flee.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man snorted coldly, tapped his staff lightly on the ground, and a golden light shot from its tip, striking the man squarely in the back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Puff!” The man spat a mouthful of blood, his body flying backward before crashing heavily to the ground, unconscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man slowly walked toward Jiang Xia and the others, glancing at Jiang Xia with a flicker of surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, your eyes are quite unique—Itachi possess two powerful ocular techniques simultaneously.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia’s heart tightened—he sensed the aura radiating from the old man, an unfathomable power, one that approached the level of Commander Lu Wujiu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank Itachi, Elder, for your intervention,” Lin Man stepped forward quickly, bowing respectfully. “Might I ask who Itachi are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tianji Ge, Zhao Tianji.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man smiled. “Tianji Ge has guarded Shanhai Pass for many years—we’ve long been acquainted with your Night Watchers’ commander.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“With the human race’s fortune reviving, us old folks have had less to worry about, so we came back to see how things stand.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianji Ge—one of the top forces in Shanhai Pass, its master known as Tianji, famed for flawless calculations and the strongest intelligence network in the region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Zhou and the others were overjoyed—unexpectedly, they had received aid from Tianji Ge at this critical moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianji glanced at the killing array, his brow slightly furrowed: “This array has some merit, but it’s not nearly enough to trap me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his staff and swept it lightly; golden light, like sunlight, poured over the killing array.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Where the golden light passed, the black vines withered instantly, and the crimson patterns began fading.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder, Itachi’re magnificent!” The Night Watchers cheered in unison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet just as the killing array was fully destroyed, Jiang Xia’s expression changed abruptly: “Danger! The Peng Spirit Core is faulty!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone followed Jiang Xia’s gaze—the wooden box suspended in midair had opened; the Peng Spirit Core inside still emitted a brilliant blue glow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the glow seemed false, and the spiritual energy fluctuations around the core were extremely weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could this core be fake?” Wang Teng exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tianji also examined the core closely, then nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Correct—it’s a forgery. A Wang Jie spirit core mixed with over a hundred spirit stones, but the spiritual energy inside is too chaotic—it’s not the real Peng Spirit Core.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Lin Man’s message arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ve confirmed it—the real Yang Wei left the city outskirts before the auction began. According to surveillance, he headed toward Shanhai Pass!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Teng’s face turned ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clever Yang Wei—Itachi used a fake Peng Spirit Core to trick us, the Cult of the Evil God, and the bounty hunters alike!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His goal from the start was clearly to draw everyone’s attention, then slip away with the real Peng Spirit Core!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xia clenched his fist, a flicker of frustration in his eyes: “We were fooled again—Yang Wei is far too cunning.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1185,"2026-06-20T15:06:04.061Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","b8882221872d067d883b870ac6d4a9d3cc35c368e2cbcaf6a42e687fde2fd8ad","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-59","global-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-chapter-57",162,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fglobal-high-martial-arts-starting-off-with-a-sha-cover.jpg"]
