"Father?" Changsun Weiying's eyes fluttered open with difficulty, his voice weak as his consciousness slowly returned.
His head was immobilized. The one tending to his injuries, sitting before him, was none other than his stern father, Changsun Wuji.
"I am here. Don't worry."
The man held the youth's hand and spoke gently.
"Your soul has been damaged. Fortunately, I administered the top-grade Heaven Returning Pill. As long as you rest well and recover, there will be no lingering ailments."
"Heaven Returning Pill... that's a Stage Four pill!"
Changsun Weiying was shocked. Then, a warmth flowed through his heart. A top-grade Stage Four pill, in terms of value alone, was worth more than half of the soul-recovering pill, even if all five of them, the second-stage ability users, had died.
"Thank..."
Changsun Weiying intended to thank him, but he suddenly remembered the matter of the demon god. He quickly exclaimed,
"The coffin!"
"Whatever you do, don't open the coffin. The demon god is sealed inside!"
Changsun Weiying's face contorted with fear. He clutched the man's sleeve, interrupting the healing process.
Hearing this, all thirty-odd people present turned their gazes towards them, wondering if this top genius of the Changsun family had gone mad. Where was any demon god?
"Weiying, what are you saying? Did you have a nightmare?"
Changsun Wuji looked at him with deep concern. Had his highly anticipated son, Changsun Weiying, become mentally deficient due to his damaged sea of consciousness?
"The coffin, the demon god! He can control people's minds. Liu He was controlled by him, and then I lost consciousness!"
Changsun Weiying's face was filled with terror. If the demon god were released from the coffin, the entire world would be destroyed. He had to stop it!
"Is there a coffin and a demon god in the underground palace? What are those things?" Changsun Yuyu asked at this moment, her voice full of confusion. "You all did pass out. Senior Savage carried you out."
"We're out...?"
Changsun Weiying struggled to turn his upper body and looked around. Only then did he realize he had already exited the underground palace.
His head ached, and he felt bewildered. What had happened? Had the matter in the underground palace already been resolved?
"Underground palace?"
Upon hearing these words, Changsun Wuji's expression turned grave.
"Weiying, are you referring to the underground palace that the rogue cultivator team encountered not long ago?"
"Yes..."
Changsun Weiying's face turned pale. He realized he had spoken out of turn.
If he had been rescued at this moment, and there was no danger in the underground palace, it could only mean that the Savage Senior had already resolved the situation.
That was something that sealed a demon god. If he could resolve that, what kind of fortune had he obtained!
"There was an underground palace and a coffin, but no demon god," Xu Mu said softly, pointing to the passage not far away.
"This place was blocked when we arrived. After digging through, the entire area had already been cleared out by that adventure team. The coffin was also open."
"Just as those two survivors said, the coffin was opened. The dark substance that flowed out caused hallucinations. What they saw were actually illusions."
Listening to Xu Mu's words, Changsun Weiying's expression froze.
It had felt so real. Was it truly an illusion?
Lost in thought, he forgot about his injuries and tried to twist his neck slightly. The scabbed wound tore open, causing sharp pain.
No!
Changsun Weiying was shocked. His injury was definitely inflicted by that person's kick. What he saw was real.
That senior must have obtained an unimaginable fortune and simply didn't want to reveal it!
"Then I thank Senior for saving my life," Changsun Weiying closed his eyes and said.
He knew clearly that in such a situation, even if all the powerhouses from his family were gathered here, they would not have been able to escape. That was the power of a god!
Yet, this Savage Senior, whom they had encountered by chance, had been able to resolve it. This proved his immense strength.
He understood his father. He was never lenient with outsiders. Their trip to Xishan this time was to seek fortune.
If they, in a moment of foolishness, harbored killing intent towards their savior, leading to mutual destruction, that was something he absolutely did not want to see!
"My son..." Changsun Wuji wanted to ask more, but seeing that Changsun Weiying had already closed his eyes, he frowned and stood up.
Just as he was about to say something else, he suddenly felt a terrifying pressure.
It wasn't just him; all the ability users present felt it, as if a massive mountain was pressing down on them, making it impossible to breathe.
It was the domain lord's pressure!
The juvenile Qiongqi's fur bristled, and Grey-White Eyes frowned and turned its head.
From the dense gray fog, a ghostly figure with a human face and a serpent's body slowly emerged. From her alluring red lips, she slowly flicked her crossed forked tongue, eliciting a sense of temptation.
"A human-form domain lord!!!" Changsun Wuji's scalp tingled. They had just separated from the main group and had encountered such a terrifying existence.
"Running west of Xishan is futile. Everyone, listen to me! Head full speed towards the dark palace. As long as we reunite with the main group, we still have a chance of survival!"
He no longer cared about the coffin or the demon god. The man shouted and, leading Changsun Wuji and Changsun Yuyu, turned and sped off in one direction. The others were no slower, and the thirty-odd people present scattered instantly.
Grey-White Eyes hesitated for a second, then released the juvenile Qiongqi's neck and also ran towards the dark palace.
He wasn't unwilling to test the effect of the Demon God's Sword, but the priority now was the dark palace.
He had to get there quickly, find the demon god's soul that had infiltrated the outside world, and kill him and Viritan, otherwise, there would likely be significant trouble.
"Do you know how to kill him?" Xu Mu asked, carrying the juvenile Qiongqi. His body disappeared from where he stood, moving at an incredible speed, instantly leaving the others far behind.
"All that's needed is to kill his soul in the outside world. He won't be able to send new souls from the seal for a while. But this is only temporary."
"To kill him completely, I must absorb the demonic power from this strange night and recover my strength. Then he will naturally die."
The demon god's words carried a hint of arrogance.
"But you are my weapon, subject to realm restrictions," Grey-White Eyes frowned slightly. Although he had obtained the holy relic, he was still completely bewildered by the matters of the strange night.
"Be careful behind you," the juvenile Qiongqi warned. He could sense the fifth-stage snake demon chasing them!
"Good sir, please let me go! I promise I won't seek revenge!" the little Qiongqi wailed. Although Xu Mu's speed was indeed fast, the domain lord behind them was not to be underestimated.
If they got any closer and were dragged into the domain, his spatial techniques would be useless!
"Do you think I should try a sword strike on him?"
Sensing the increasing pressure from behind, and that the opponent had even released their domain, Grey-White Eyes's fingers twitched with the urge to act.
"Brother, you don't care about your life, but I do!"
The juvenile Qiongqi exclaimed, thinking this person was foolish to dare to fight across realms. Did he think he was a divine beast?
"Brother, don't leave! Stay and play with me~"
The snake demon behind them used her charm. The entire space was filled with her voluptuous body from all directions, shrouded in a thin mist, her generous curves tantalizingly visible... Xu Mu, in the Heavenly Palace, spat blood from the sight.
"Let me!"
Charles also suddenly became excited, rolling up his sleeves and preparing to engage.
"No fun," Grey-White Eyes shook his head. What was so interesting about this creature?
It wasn't as good as Yin Shui'er.
"Good sir, please let me go quickly! I beg you, good sir! She's catching up!"
The Qiongqi was also unaffected by the snake demon. He just wanted to escape quickly and break through space to return to that misty area.
He recognized this snake demon too; she was also a mutated beast surviving in their gray mist, with Medusa's bloodline. Even his mother might not be able to defeat her!
"When you tell me how to use spatial techniques, I'll let you go."
"Otherwise, even if I die, my left hand will hold onto you."
He said calmly, his words filled with threat.
The juvenile Qiongqi was dumbfounded:
"Good sir, I've already told you, I was born with it!"
"The laws of heaven and earth here are very easy for me to understand. You're not a divine beast, how can I teach you this!"
Grey-White Eyes shook his head slightly:
"You just need to tell me how you break through space, what the steps are."
The juvenile Qiongqi was stunned again. What was the use of telling him these things?
I rip open space with a claw, then dive in and choose a teleportation location. This is an innate skill. Do you, a human, think you can do it too?
"Alright, listen carefully." Seeing that the snake demon behind them was less than twenty meters away, the little Qiongqi gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "First, extend your front claws."
"You don't have front claws, so you can use your hands instead."
"Mm, and then?" Grey-White Eyes retracted the demonic sword into his sea of consciousness, freeing his right hand.
"Between heaven and earth, there are countless great laws, not just three thousand. You only need to find the Law of Space, and then, as if eating, gently touch it, approach it, and then control it, and you can use spatial techniques. It's that simple," the little Qiongqi said.
"Find the Law of Space..." Grey-White Eyes raised an eyebrow. While traversing through space, he pointed his left index finger, finely sensing everything in this world.
The juvenile Qiongqi watched this scene and was completely stunned. So this human wasn't joking; he truly wanted to learn his abilities.
"Good sir, forgive me for saying this, but you are indeed quite strong, but unless you are a divine beast like me..."
"So this is spatial technique."
The juvenile Qiongqi suddenly fell silent, because a spatial vortex suddenly appeared before him.
Grey-White Eyes smiled slightly:
"Stay close."
"How is this possible!!!"
Amidst the Qiongqi's startled cries, the two entered the spatial passage and in an instant, arrived near the magnificent black tower.
With a single thought, the spatial tunnel closed. Xu Mu's eyes lit up. Excellent, excellent.
"You..."
Not only the Qiongqi but even the demon god was shocked.
The Law of Space was one of the four supreme laws. How could its master, merely by listening to a few casual words from the Qiongqi, directly learn it?
"It didn't feel that difficult."
Grey-White Eyes shook his head, then noticed that there seemed to be people all around him.
And one by one, they were looking at him with extremely strange expressions.
"Xu Mu!" an ability user in a red robe exclaimed, then realized he had spoken out of turn.
"What are you doing here? Hurry and leave!"
Yin Zhongxiu stepped forward, whispering reminders repeatedly, as if something terrifying was about to happen. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"So many human powerhouses!"
The little Qiongqi stared around in shock. This was an open space filled with hundreds of human ability users. The weakest was Stage Three, with a majority being Stage Four. There were even over a dozen existences with a similar aura to his mother!
"What, can I not be here?" Xu Mu's body didn't move. He narrowed his eyes and scanned his surroundings, beginning to assess the situation of these people.
"Domain Lords, Lords, Huacai... oh, and a half-step Human King. Is that the boundary-ranking expert from the Demon Extermination Division?"
Grey-White Eyes frowned. After a sweep, he found no special existence, such as the demon god's leaked soul.
"Who is Xu Mu?"
At this moment, an aged voice rang out, and Grey-White Eyes felt a soul as heavy as a great mountain land upon him.
"I told you to leave, but you didn't. This is bad!"
Yin Zhongxiu's expression changed drastically. He had inadvertently called out Xu Mu's name just now, forgetting that the old master from the Wang family of the Imperial City was also present!
Although he didn't know how Xu Mu had killed Wang Jue and Wang Hua, since they had met, why wouldn't revenge be sought?
"I am," Grey-White Eyes met the old man's gaze from hundreds of meters away, his voice calm.
The latter's killing intent surged, making him uncomfortable. The youth then spoke:
"I advise you not to look at me with that kind of gaze."
"Why?" the old man asked.
"Because I will get angry," Grey-White Eyes said with a serious expression. "And you will die."
