"Hahaha, even Xuantu has met his end! Chief, where did you lock him up? I'm going to find him right now to 'catch up' and avenge the clansmen he killed!"
"Xuan Tu really came looking for this human woman. It seems he's really done for. I'm quite curious to see what Xuan Tu's woman tastes like, and whether she's even sweeter."
"Leader, is this really Xuan Tu? Or is it just an avatar of his?"
...
The moment Xuan Tu's image appeared, the Earth Core Clan in the main hall became agitated, shouting and clamoring amongst themselves.
They didn't consider themselves human beings in their words or actions.
They probably felt that Xin Sui was no longer in their grasp, so there was no need to pretend in front of her anymore.
Styx didn't speak, but simply waved his hand, and the image on the triangular prism changed accordingly.
A giant tree appeared above, and a wooden house was hidden among its branches.
Xin Sui recognized it at a glance; it was the place where she had stayed for several days.
The "secret base of Xuantu" mentioned by Ziyou.
The camera zooms in, and Xuan Tu appears out of thin air inside the wooden house.
"Year after year—"
Before he finished speaking, his originally cheerful and lighthearted expression suddenly changed, and his gaze shot towards the spot where the door 308 had appeared earlier.
It was clear that they had sensed the presence of outsiders.
His figure vanished instantly.
The next second, the scene shifts, and he emerges from the black hole, standing in mid-air above the desert.
With a wave of his hand, he summoned a bolt of lightning as thick as a bucket. The lightning bolt stood straight as a pillar and crashed down onto the desert below.
In an instant, the desert below was breached, revealing a huge, sinkhole-like opening.
It was pitch black, as if it led to the deepest hell.
The mysterious path leads straight into it.
The camera panned as he moved, as if a drone was constantly filming him, capturing his every move.
Beneath the black hole lay a colossal underground palace.
The doors to the underground palace were wide open, as if they had known he would come and opened them in advance to welcome him.
Xuan Tu did not pause; he took a step forward, and his figure remained in the same place.
However, after a while, it was discovered that the figure was just a phantom left behind by his excessive speed, and he had already entered the underground palace.
Inside the long, dark passage, various traps and mechanisms were set up one after another.
He slays gods and Buddhas alike, pushing his way through with overwhelming force.
Their power was so great that even the subterranean race, who already knew the outcome, were terrified.
Xin Sui watched intently, her eyes filled with a focus and... fascination that she herself was unaware of.
Admiring strength is human nature, and she was no exception.
She had always known that Xuan Tu was powerful, but seeing it with her own eyes was a different story.
She had to admit that seeing such a powerful Xuan Tu recklessly storm the underground palace for her sake, her girlish heart, which she thought had died, shamefully revived.
My heart felt like a little deer was pounding wildly inside me, thump-thump-thump.
After all, which girl hasn't fantasized about her ideal man being a peerless hero who will one day come to marry her riding on a seven-colored cloud?
Although Xuan Tu did not ride on auspicious seven-colored clouds, the energy fluctuations that erupted from his body when he attacked were even more dazzling than the auspicious seven-colored clouds.
"Xuan Tu is too strong. It's a pity that he is ultimately a human. If only he were one of our people."
"Yes, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before Xuan Tu breaks in."
"Are you stupid? Xuan Tu has already been captured. The leader is showing us footage of what happened before."
Styx spoke up at the right moment: "This underground palace is a divine artifact personally crafted by the High Priest. Once Xuantu enters, he can forget about leaving."
"The formations within the underground palace have blocked the Xuan energy from all directions. No matter how strong the Xuan path is, the Xuan energy can only flow out and not in, and cannot be replenished. How long can it last?"
Xin Sui was startled.
She guessed that the Inner Earth Clan would set traps and ambushes in the underground palace, but she didn't expect that the underground palace itself was the biggest trap!
If the underground palace is a divine artifact, then it is controlled by someone, and it goes without saying that the control is in the hands of the Styx.
No wonder Xuantu was eventually trapped.
His fate was sealed the moment he stepped in.
But didn't he think of that?
The Earthlings' scheme to abduct her and lure him here was hardly clever; how could he not see through such an obvious trap?
But he still came.
Xin Sui's vision suddenly blurred, and he could no longer see the image projected by the triangular prism.
She kept blinking, trying to force the tears back from her eyes.
It was clear that Xin Sui wasn't the only one who noticed this; the Earth Core Clan also saw it and mocked it.
"I never expected that Xuan Tu, the god of death, is also a romantic. Hahaha, he's willing to risk his life for a woman."
"Now I'm even more curious about what that woman tastes like."
The Earth Core Clan, who had previously clamored to taste the flavor of "the woman of the Mysterious Path," stared at Xin Sui, licked their lips, and were eager to try.
That greedy, bloodthirsty look instantly ruined his handsome appearance, making him look like a wild beast.
"Chief, grant her to me!" he said bluntly to Styx.
The others couldn't sit still any longer. "Why should she be given to you? We should share the good fortune, shouldn't we eat together?"
"A woman's brain is the most delicious thing. Her brain must be reserved for me. No one else can take it from me."
"I want her heart."
A group of subterranean beings started discussing how to eat Xin Sui right in front of her.
Styx watched with a smile, without saying a word to stop them.
