Hei Sha's soul left his body, intending to devour Qin Feng's soul, but unexpectedly, Qin Feng used the Heaven-Stabilizing Pearl to immobilize it instead.

Qin Feng showed no mercy, thrusting his longsword through the lightning with a fierce strike.

Black Fiend's already injured soul shattered instantly. He was frozen in place, unable to cry out or even feel pain, and passed away peacefully.

Qin Feng was worried that it might be a trap, so he checked several times to make sure that Hei Sha was completely dead.

What Qin Feng found strange was that Hei Sha's soul did not simply vanish like the others.

After the soul was shattered, it transformed into a rich and mellow soul energy, which dissipated and carried a special fragrance that made people's mouths water.

He stood close by, and these spiritual energies instantly enveloped him.

He was like a child who had popped a water balloon, getting splashed all over without warning.

The alluring aroma made him involuntarily take a deep breath, and the ethereal and enticing spiritual energy immediately entered his dantian.

Qin Feng was startled and tried to intercept it, but when a wisp of energy touched his soul, it made him feel incredibly comfortable.

This energy was exceptionally pure, without any other impurities such as memories, as if it had been deliberately filtered.

In an instant, he felt his soul had been greatly enhanced, and he was pleasantly surprised.

He checked his body again and found nothing abnormal, so he didn't stop it and let the pure energy nourish his soul.

Qin Feng was not a pedantic person; why shouldn't he accept this opportunity?

Under his observation, after the Black Fiend's soul shattered, besides the soul energy, he also saw a small, pitch-black dot.

He took a picture of the black dot and examined it closely; it looked like a seed.

He had a bold idea, and guessed:

"Is this Black Demon being used by someone? He's like a fruit that's about to ripen, waiting to be harvested."

If I don't kill him today, he will die someday anyway.

Yes, I heard that Hei Sha was originally just an ordinary cultivator who had been stagnating in the True Immortal Realm, and the Golden Immortal Realm was even more out of reach.

But he suddenly had an opportunity and soared to great heights in a short time. Now he has become one of the best among the Golden Immortals and even has the opportunity to challenge for the title of Immortal King.

This is very unusual; this so-called opportunity must have been deliberately arranged by someone.

I just don't know who this ruthless person is.

Qin Feng paused, then raised an eyebrow.

"Hey, now that I've killed Black Demon, it's not that I've ruined his plans, but that I've taken the fruits of his hard work. This has created a huge grudge."

"The enemy is in the shadows while I am in the light. I don't know this person's identity or cultivation level. I'm only at the Celestial Immortal Realm right now, so I'd better be careful."

He examined the black dot and found nothing unusual about it; it was probably used to monitor the location and physical condition of the Black Demon.

He destroyed the black spot, pondered how to solve the problem, and suddenly smiled.

"I've got it! No one knows I was responsible for Black Fiend's death."

So many people in the Black Rope Immortal Realm saw that it was Yuan Hong of the Yuan family who led people to the Black Fiend Immortal Palace to challenge Black Fiend to a duel; everyone present can testify to this.

Hei Sha was crippled and killed by Yuan Hong and the Yan family; it had nothing to do with me.

Even if the people behind Hei Sha find out, they should go after Yuan Hong and the Yan family if they want to cause trouble. What does it have to do with me?

"Well, I'll see this through. If that person really comes looking for me, I'll give them a heads-up."

Qin Feng returned to Hei Sha's corpse and looked at the emaciated body, which still had many injuries.

There were sword wounds from Yuan Hong, knife wounds from Yan Lie, and sword wounds from Yan Xinru, but no trace of Qin Feng's actions.

Qin Feng was very satisfied with this, as it made Hei Sha's death even less of a concern for him.

He took all of Black Fiend's valuables; he was skilled at this kind of work.

It must be said that Hei Sha was truly wealthy, having accumulated a vast fortune as the leader of a powerful region.

A vast quantity of immortal crystals, all sorts of rare treasures, unique ores, and precious immortal herbs—everything imaginable—now belong to Qin Feng.

Qin Feng collected the valuables, dug a pit for Hei Sha, and laid him to rest peacefully. On his memorial tablet, he wrote:

I've been battling you for centuries, and today I've won by a single move. Now that you're dead and your spirit has vanished, all that has happened is now dust to dust, ashes to ashes.

Yuan Hongli.

Qin Feng cleaned up all traces of his presence and quickly drove to this place of trouble.

That little black dot can pinpoint the location of Black Fiend. This is the last place Black Fiend appeared, and that person will probably come to check it out.

From killing Hei Sha to burying him, Qin Feng only took a very short time.

He and Ao Ling have found a suitable place to continue their cultivation, and there is still a lot of soul energy in his Purple Mansion that he has not fully absorbed.

He had a premonition that his strength would greatly increase after his soul was enhanced.

...

The Nine Nether Immortal Realm is located right next to the Black Rope Immortal Realm, and is an extremely luxurious mansion.

The interior is luxuriously decorated, with carved dragons and painted beams, and is resplendent in gold and jade; it is clearly the residence of an important person.

However, the scene in the training room was completely different from the luxurious decorations. It appeared very strange and gloomy, making people's hair stand on end and feel fear.

Its billowing black smoke was quite similar to the scene when Heisha was cultivating.

Inside the meditation room, a man sat cross-legged, practicing his internal energy.

Before him stood a woman, her expression numb, her eyes vacant, as if she had lost her mind and was nothing but an empty shell.

The man's fair finger poked the woman's brow, and with a soft "plop," it reached her dantian.

Blood was flowing from between the woman's eyebrows, but she remained motionless and expressionless, like a dead person.

Instantly, something resembling a fruit flowed out from the hole between the woman's eyebrows.

The hole that the man pointed out was only about the size of a finger, but the fruit was as big as an egg.

The man picked up the fruit, examined it carefully, and smiled.

The fruit was crystal clear, with a shimmering light, and emitted an enticing aroma.

If Qin Feng were here, he would definitely find this fragrance very familiar.

A figure emerged from between the man's eyebrows. The figure looked exactly like the man, only different in size.

The figure took the tempting, translucent fruit from the man's hand, beaming with joy, looking eager as if he had just seen something delicious.

He couldn't wait to take a bite.

Perhaps the fruit tasted so good that he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

The radiance emanating from the fruit was just like overflowing juice.

The fruit wasn't very big to begin with, and after taking a few bites, he simply swallowed it whole.

The man seemed to have eaten the fruit pit, spitting out a black dot-like object.

The man was engrossed in the moment, still savoring the experience, when suddenly his eyes widened in anger, and his temper flared.

"Who dares to do this? I spent so much time and effort planting these fruit trees, and they're about to bear fruit. Who the hell cut them down?"
