Perhaps inheriting what the previous Tengshe wanted to abandon until its death, Qingmang's cultivation path, though relatively smooth, lacked the luck of Luomang. Back then, the inheritance of essence blood abandoned Qingmang and chose Luomang. Now, the power sealed by Tengshe has also chosen Luomang.

But they were brothers from the same family, and the two brothers even shared a single soul and two bodies. Although both of them later underwent mutations and became independent individuals, Luo Mang ultimately couldn't bear to see the Green Python in such a dire state.

So, just as he was about to finish absorbing the power of the Teng Snake, he kindly gave one-third of it to the Green Python.

The green python was puzzled, only feeling a sense of closeness to the ball of light, but didn't think much of it until the power contained within the ball of light fiercely entered its body, at which point it realized what it was.

However, he didn't have time to question Luo Mang at the moment.

After all, it wasn't a true Teng Snake. Luo Mang could fuse power in an instant, but the Green Python couldn't. The moment the Teng Snake's power entered his body, excruciating pain instantly swept over him.

An unfamiliar force surged through his body, and without the powerful physique and meridians of the Tengshe, the python's body simply could not withstand it.

The green python's eyes were bloodshot, veins bulged on its forehead, and its face was contorted in a ferocious grimace. It suppressed a low, guttural growl. The pain made it lose control and instantly reveal its true form.

Upon seeing this, Luo Mang's brow furrowed slightly. He reached out and slashed his wrist fiercely, unleashing an ancient aura that shot skyward. At the same time, a jet of blood shot out from Luo Mang's wrist, hurtling towards the giant python's gaping maw.

The power within the sphere of light is unique to the Teng Snake. Although the Green Python possesses half of the Teng Snake's soul, it is ultimately not the Teng Snake. The surging power cannot be suppressed without the Teng Snake's blood and fluids, and it is highly likely to burst its physical body.

Luo Mang didn't want to do something good that would backfire, so he could only use his own blood to suppress the power within the green python.

As long as the power becomes docile, the blue python can absorb it on its own.

As the crimson blood entered his mouth, the pain receded like a tide, and a cooling sensation spread throughout his body with the blood, suppressing his violent energy.

Upon seeing this, the green python gathered its power, transformed into human form, and then began to meditate and circulate its energy.

Time passed slowly, and Luo Mang looked up at the heavy sky, his eyes flashing with anxiety.

It was almost night, and I didn't know if Silver Ring had stepped into the sea.

No, he had to stop Yin Huan; he couldn't let her be dragged down by this land. The lives of the world were none of Yin Huan's concern; even if the entire land were destroyed, he could still take her and roam freely between heaven and earth.

Silver Ring owes no debt to humanity and has no obligation to give her life for them.

Thinking of this, a fierce look flashed across Luo Mang's face.

This time, no one will be allowed to sacrifice themselves for Silver Ring. Anyone who dares to do so will be destroyed.

In the memories of the previous generation of Tengshe, Nu Hui's sacrifice was not voluntary, but rather she was "forced" and persuaded, and only took that step because of Nuwa's "manipulation".

But in this lifetime... no one can force them, master and servant.

My memories are always somewhat incomplete.

Luo Mang only knew that thousands of years ago, the earth collapsed and cracked, war raged, corpses littered the fields, and the whole land was filled with despair and death.

Humanity was on the verge of extinction, and it was at that time that Nü Hui was persuaded by humans. Her compassion grew infinitely, and in the end she could not control herself and sacrificed herself, dispersing her power as the Queen of Nuwa to restore the life of the earth.

However, Tengshe was powerless to stop it.

Nu Hui's memories after the sacrifice are scarce in Tengshe's lineage. Luo Mang only vaguely knows that afterwards, Tengshe and Jiu Yuanqing went to a certain place together. Upon their return, Jiu Yuanqing turned to sand, and Tengshe sealed himself away.

Luo Mang regained his composure, turned his head, and glanced at the green python that was still absorbing power. His dark eyes narrowed, and he strode out of the courtyard.

There's an array protecting Jiu Yuanqing here, so no one should bother the Azure Python. Time is of the essence; he must hurry and stop the Silver Ring.

——

As the sun sets in the west, colorful rays of light shine across the sea, creating a dazzling spectacle.

A small cruise ship, carried by the sea breeze, sailed fearlessly across the ocean. The waves crashed relentlessly against the ship, and a faint, salty smell filled the air.

On the deck, Silver Ring stood facing the wind, her clear eyes staring straight at the sea, her expression calm and serene, as if she were pondering something.

Behind her followed Bai Mao and Su Yi, each with a different expression. Not far from them, a dozen demon hunters were having a serious conversation. Furthermore, a group of smartly dressed, fully armed soldiers stood solemnly aboard the cruise ship.

These soldiers were people the Security Bureau requested from the central leadership.

The ley lines are deep in the sea. Although the people in the Security Bureau are all highly skilled, they are not yet powerful enough to fly or burrow into the sea.

The sea is unfamiliar to cultivators. Although demon hunters have already gone to investigate, they still need to rely on modern high-tech equipment to stay in the deep sea for a long time.

In terms of operating high-tech weapons, ten cultivators are no match for one navy.

The demon hunter team was led by He Zhi.

He Zhi was the director of the previous Special Security Bureau and also He Bingquan's father.

He Zhi was over sixty years old and had long since stopped caring about the Security Bureau. However, this mission was assigned by the central leadership, and for such an operation, someone from the He family had to step forward. He Bingquan had been crippled by Huo Fei, and He Guan was too old and trapped in Penang, where he was fighting off the demons that had stormed the Luohan Temple with a group of exorcists.

After all, the Demon Prince's soul is of great importance. If it were to be snatched back by demons, the chaos in the world would likely only worsen.

While his nephew He Bingjun possessed considerable skill, he lacked experience. Therefore, He Zhi was temporarily summoned back to lead this operation.

"Protector Bai, is Senior Huo really coming?" He Zhi told the demon hunters to return to their cabins to rest and prepare for the next move. Alone, he went straight to Bai Mao's side.
