Sheila left soon afterward to return and deal with matters in the Philippines.

Unlike the Eastern Kingdom, Philippines is a nation that worships the strong to an unhealthy degree. Their people and leaders have long placed all the burdens on Sheila's shoulders. Now, she is to be affiliated with the Eastern Kingdom's Demon Slayer Corps, which requires her to handle many things.

Fang Zong sent someone to escort Sheila across the border, and she walked with Old Wang in the headquarters garden...

"Did Yasuo really escape?" Old Wang asked.

"certainly."

Fang Zong had no doubt about this. He dealt with any ghosts, monsters, or even gods, whether domestic or foreign, and basically eliminated them all in one go. Even the most powerful ghosts like the Queen and the Ghost King of Yinshan were dealt with at most twice by chance.

Only with Murong Zhen's help did the Empress Dowager finally submit to his command after being pursued three times...

“I’ve hunted down Yasuo not just once or twice, but many times. I even went to war with him back in America.”

Fang Zong laughed and said, "I know Yasuo very well. He would never be defeated by a mere half of a Dark Prison artifact. He was just thwarted by me once, his scheme failed, and he was driven out of Japan. But even so, I don't think he would just sit idly by and wait to die."

"But what's the point of him escaping?"

"It's no use. As long as he's alive, there's hope. He refuses to give up."

Fang Zong's figure flashed, and in that instant he had already left the Ghost Slayer Headquarters, went to an old shop in Shangjing City to get a signature drink, dropped off some money, and returned to the same spot.

He handed one cup to Old Wang, and drank the other himself: "The Japanese Onmyo Sect has a secret technique that can strip away all one's power and thus hide all one's aura. Yasuo was able to obtain the Wind God Heavenly Blade of the Wind God Sect, so he must have had all sorts of secret techniques from the Onmyo Masters. He should no longer be nearby; he has already left Southeast Asia."

Where might he be hiding?

"It's possible anywhere in the world, but the most likely scenario is that we'll go to America to find the Snow Woman."

Why not tell Youmingfeng?

Old Wang was surprised.

Back then, Yasuo became a disciple of the Eastern Wind God Sect, but he betrayed his master and poisoned the sect leader. The Wind God Sect's entire family of heroes were reduced to a few scattered individuals, and only after Youming Feng stood on Fang Zong's side did they receive an incomprehensible influx of resources, allowing them to recover.

This matter had long since angered Fang Zong, and logically, he should have been eliminated completely; no amount of action would have been excessive.

Fang Zong shook his head, his eyes somewhat glazed over.

Yasuo is an enemy, an enemy he hates very much, but also admires very much.

He had never seen anyone as determined as Yasuo. He tried again and again, failed again and again, but no amount of setbacks could break Yasuo; he always got back up. —This enemy, though a scoundrel, was undeniably a true hero!

"If he doesn't go looking for the Snow Woman, I won't underestimate him just because he's become incredibly weak. Once I emerge from seclusion, I will hunt him down all over the world."

"What if he's looking for the Snow Woman?"

"So he's still a human being, not a cold-blooded beast without any weaknesses. For the sake of this bit of tenderness, what's wrong with giving him two hours?"

Fang Zong was not letting Yasuo off the hook, but rather showing respect for a girl like Xue Nu. After a moment's thought, he suddenly burst into laughter: "In that case, we'll have to trouble Elder Wang to continue being our captain."

"Wait! I'm too old..."

Old Wang only said half a sentence before he discovered that Fang Zong had entered the Earth Fire Small World, which then shrank into a tiny dot and disappeared completely.

"That brat..." He gave a wry smile and walked away with his hands behind his back.

Fang Zong's actions in the Philippines shocked the entire Southeast Asia. Almost all countries sent powerful figures to visit, and even some countries from other regions sent people despite their busy schedules.

They knew of Fang Zong's power, but they had never seen him in person, and they were unaware of many 'trivial matters' that were insignificant to them...

America, an elegant and tranquil town.

The town's buildings are constructed according to the natural terrain formed by the mountains and the sea, forming a human-shaped layout at the foot of the green mountains. In the center is a wide trapezoidal square built by the clever townspeople, with a fish pond with a fountain in the middle, where tens of thousands of fish swim freely.

Peter drove into the town, and as soon as he got out of the car, he was refreshed by the crisp, cool air of the rain.

Wearing a baseball cap, he looked just like an ordinary tourist, marveling at the tranquil atmosphere of the town…

"Wow, this rain... Okay, I'm here to get down to business!"

Peter's strength grew, and his personality became particularly 'lively'. Dark Spider-Man's power was one of the few powers that could affect one's personality, but he didn't dislike it. "The only downside is that I'm finding Deadpool more and more pleasing to the eye," he sighed, walking towards the west side of the town.

On the west side of the town stands a church. In this age of resurgence of ghosts and spirits, the church no longer worships any deities; it has become a true sanctuary for people's souls. Several nuns have stopped praying and are quietly tending to the flowers and plants in the rain. Of course, marriage is not forbidden, so much so that many handsome men stand nearby, showering attention on a beautiful young woman with silver hair…

"Oh, dear Xue, don't you know the passion in my heart?" This is a literary youth.

"I just want to be by your side, nothing else matters." This is a tender sentiment.

"Seeing you makes me never want to see any other girl again..." This is the prodigal son returning home type.

The Snow Woman ignored them all, slowly pruning the flower branches. The church no longer used crosses, but she always held a handle in her palm, praying for Yasuo and begging the heavens to prevent Yasuo from committing such heinous crimes again, and most importantly, to let Yasuo live.

She was gripping the cross tightly, but suddenly, someone grabbed her hand...

Fang Zong said, "Let me give you and Yasuo two hours."

Peter cut to the chase, but pressed the Snow Woman's hand to his chest, "But seeing you, I think I should be the one to bring you happiness!"

"No!" The snow woman struggled frantically, but she was just an ordinary person and couldn't break free. It looked like Peter was about to 'bite' her face.

Peter grinned strangely, then suddenly turned around and stared at the young man who had just been playing the role of 'Warmth'.

"Alright, the acting's over, time to get down to business." He said with interest, "You have two hours to choose: do you want to reunite with the Snow Woman, or do you want to run away now?"

"You can start calculating the time now."

A blurry shadow emerged from the young man's body, and that was Yasuo.

Yasuo, whose strength was extremely weak, shook his head with a wry smile: "Fang Zong said 'good and evil will eventually come to an end,' and I believed him, and then..."

I came here knowing he would give me some time.
