Central Continent.
A super city in the Lingguang Domain.
This is the super city closest to the Dark Abyss.
The once prosperous Lingguang City has become extremely chaotic, with a full-scale slaughter erupting within the city.
Warriors of the dark race are slaughtering cultivators and civilians in the city indiscriminately.
Terrifying auras and the heavy smell of blood rage everywhere.
Dark demonic energy, like a black tide, quickly filled the entire city.
"Is this the breath of freedom? It's truly wonderful!"
Above Lingguang City, a member of the dark race, enveloped in black energy, greedily breathed the surrounding air.
This member of the dark race wore a black robe, their eyes filled with joyful exhilaration.
"Mo You, the passage is now open. The things you, the dark race, promised me should also begin to be prepared!" The space rippled, and a man wearing a purple-gold mask appeared above the city.
In the city below, chaos continued to erupt.
Screams, roars, clashes, and all sorts of heart-wrenching sounds intertwined, forming a symphony of hell.
"Don't you think this passage opened a bit too smoothly?" Mo You Quasi-Emperor took a deep breath of fresh air and then slowly said.
The man with the purple-gold mask frowned upon hearing this.
"We prepared so thoroughly, opening the passage was a sure thing. Its opening was inevitable!" the purple-gold masked man said in a deep voice.
Soon, the area below was shrouded in countless bloody auras, the vitality of qi and blood surging like a monstrous wave, truly terrifying.
"Confidence is a good thing, but this time it was too smooth. So smooth that I feel like I'm dreaming!"
"Moreover, those old guys aren't in their coffins yet. With their abilities, even if they couldn't stop us completely, they could have caused us significant trouble, or at least delayed the opening of the passage. But none of them made a move..."
"All of this, all of this, is simply inconceivable!"
Mo You Quasi-Emperor said slowly, then waved his right hand, sweeping up a large mass of qi and blood energy from below and swallowing it directly into his abdomen.
The leader of the Inverse Immortal Sect frowned. Mo You Quasi-Emperor's words held some truth.
It was indeed too smooth.
"No matter what, now that the passage is open, what if there are minor variables? We just need to do our part. Now, the overall situation is in our hands!"
The leader of the Inverse Immortal Sect looked up at the sky, his eyes flashing with chilling light.
"You're right, the momentum is established, it's irreversible. We just need to do our own thing. We'll deal with whatever comes our way!" Mo You Quasi-Emperor shrugged and smiled.
"Immediately send a message to our compatriots in the Heavenly Abyss, telling them to come quickly and enjoy this supreme feast together!" Mo You Quasi-Emperor then said to a dark race messenger not far away.
The messenger, upon hearing this, immediately transformed into demonic energy and sped towards the Heavenly Abyss.
"What about my part? We agreed that after coming out, you would prepare my matters!" The leader of the Inverse Immortal Sect's brow furrowed.
"Don't worry, we dark race are the most trustworthy. We will do what we promised you. We've been trapped inside for so long, shouldn't we enjoy ourselves first..."
...
Central Continent.
Shimo Sect.
On Tianmo Peak of the Shimo Sect, a super teleportation array had been set up at some point.
Mysterious array patterns shone with dazzling brilliance on Tianmo Peak.
Many disciples of the Shimo Sect were leaving the Central Continent through the teleportation array, heading for the Eastern Wilderness.
"Big Brother, are we leaving here?" Lin Xue'er asked softly, holding Jiang Li's hand on another peak of Tianmo Peak.
Beside them were many disciples and elders from Xingmo Peak.
Mu Qingyu also stood by Jiang Li's side, waiting quietly.
"That's right, we're leaving here!" Jiang Li stroked Lin Xue'er's hair gently and said.
After Jiang Li and Xia Qingying returned to the Shimo Sect, they discovered that a large number of Shimo Sect disciples were already preparing to leave the Central Continent.
Furthermore, it seemed they had been prepared long ago, with all their belongings packed and awaiting the activation of the teleportation array.
The valuable items in various parts of the Shimo Sect had now been put away.
Not only the Shimo Sect, but many other top powers also seemed to have made an agreement, all preparing to withdraw from the Central Continent.
The direction of withdrawal for the Shimo Sect this time was the Eastern Wilderness.
"By the way, where is Chen Lingyue?" Jiang Li asked, as if recalling something.
Upon his return, he had surprisingly not found that little virgin girl.
"Reporting to Young Master, the Lord of Tianyuan City took Miss Chen back not long ago!" Mu Qingyu replied.
Jiang Li nodded. She was taken away by the Lord of Tianyuan City. It was good that she had left.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, thank you for saving my life in the Dark Abyss last time!" As Jiang Li and the others looked into the distance, a clear and pleasant voice sounded in their ears.
Not far away, a beautiful woman with a veiled face and a graceful figure slowly walked over.
Behind the woman followed quite a few disciples of the Shimo Sect.
These disciples were all followers of Xia Qingying, and at this moment, they were looking at Jiang Li with admiration in their eyes.
"It was nothing, just a small effort!" Jiang Li replied neither subserviently nor arrogantly.
Many disciples of the Shimo Sect around looked at the two with curiosity.
The news of Jiang Li killing the Hegemon Body Zhou Tong in Tianxing Sea had already spread completely.
That Hegemon Body had defeated their Divine Son Ye Wushang.
And Jiang Li's powerful slaying of Zhou Tong made the disciples of the Shimo Sect feel extremely exhilarated.
Furthermore, Jiang Li killing Zhou Tong meant that Jiang Li's strength had surpassed that of the Divine Son!
Some people had privately said that Jiang Li was more suitable to be the Divine Son of their Shimo Sect.
Especially with Jiang Li's outstanding appearance, many female disciples were infatuated with him.
Jiang Li's reputation had unknowingly reached an extremely high level.
"Right, Senior Sister Xia, please take care of the disciples of my Xingmo Peak. I have something to attend to and need to head to the Northern Plains!" Jiang Li then said to Xia Qingying.
At the entrance of the Dark Abyss, Jiang Li had seen many opportunities belonging to Xiao Yun.
One of them was a seven-hundred-thousand-year-old sacred medicine in the Northern Plains.
Although he couldn't obtain other opportunities for now, he could go and claim that sacred medicine from the Northern Plains.
It might significantly improve his strength.
"No problem, leave it to me!" Xia Qingying nodded.
Then, Jiang Li didn't delay further, making some arrangements with Mu Qingyu.
After settling everything, he used the teleportation array of Tianmo Peak and directly left the Shimo Sect.
