Amidst the horrified and desperate gazes of the crowd, a figure in black slowly raised his hand. The hand was long and fair, as if crafted from jade, like a perfect work of art.
Yet, with just this one hand, he casually caught the terrifying blow from the eight-armed demon zombie.
Bang!
The mountain-like fist was gently supported. Zhao Hao looked at the figure standing in front of him, holding up the sky with one hand, and his eyes became slightly moist.
"It really is you, Hugh!!"
"Hmm." Fang Xiu gave a soft "hmm" and nodded at him.
At that moment, Zhao Hao felt as if he had returned to the beginning of time, dreaming of Blackwater Village, where the figure of Fang Xiu standing in front of him slowly overlapped with the present.
Decades have passed, but it feels like only a few hours have gone by.
Instead of reminiscing, Fang Xiu held up one hand to the sky and made a hand seal with the other, unleashing a mysterious and forbidden wave from the Ba Hui divine core within his body.
boom!
The void exploded, and the heavens and earth trembled.
Strands of crimson lightning tore through the sky like giant tree branches, black mist raged, and violent power swept across the heavens and earth.
To everyone's astonishment, a huge hole appeared in the clouds above the sky, and then everyone witnessed a scene they would never forget.
A ferocious serpent head, large enough to blot out the sky, emerged from the clouds. Its cold, emotionless, dark golden serpent eyes looked down upon all living beings, bringing an indescribable and immense shock to the people of the Giant Cauldron Immortal City.
The oppressive feeling emanating from the demon god made it impossible for anyone to breathe. Even the eight-armed demon zombie looked up at the sky, its face filled with fear.
Then, the enormous snake head crashed down, its blood-red maw wide open, along with its massive body, which resembled a black pillar of heaven.
Bang!
The eight-armed demon zombie was swallowed whole without even a scream. Its head pierced the earth, while its enormous tail remained hidden in the clouds, still unseen.
quiet!
The entire venue was deathly silent!
No one expected that such a terrifying powerhouse was hidden among the crowd in the Giant Cauldron Immortal City, who defeated the Eight-Armed Demon Zombie with a single blow.
Then, Fang Xiu slowly withdrew his palm, and the enormous body of Ba Hui crumbled inch by inch, dissipating into the world like a dream, as if it had never existed.
Along with it disappeared the once ferocious and arrogant eight-armed demon zombie.
"Young Master! Young Master, are you alright?!"
The two alluring women who had been flanking Zhao Hao earlier ran over, helped him up from the ground, and stood in front of him, warily watching Fang Xiu, whose origins were unknown.
Clearly, when Zhao Hao transformed, the two alluring women were also captivated by his charm.
Zhao Hao quickly pushed the two away: "It's alright, it's alright, this isn't an enemy, it's Brother Xiu!"
As he spoke, Zhao Hao walked towards Fang Xiu with slightly red eyes, opening his arms as he did so: "Brother Xiu, I... I've finally waited for you."
Before he could get close, Fang Xiu blocked him with one hand.
The women standing nearby looked disappointed.
Zhao Hao wasn't annoyed at all; instead, he was very excited: "Brother Xiu, you haven't changed at all over the years. No, you've become even stronger. I used to think I was the one who improved the fastest among us, but I didn't expect that I'm still far behind you, Brother Xiu."
"Aren't you in China? Why are you here?"
Just as Zhao Hao was about to explain, he was interrupted by the city lord of Giant Cauldron Immortal City: "Young Master Zhao, and this senior, now is not the time for reminiscing. The demonic tide has not yet subsided, and I beg you two to lend a helping hand."
Zhao Hao chuckled sheepishly and scratched his head: "I almost forgot the battle wasn't over yet. Brother Xiu, wait for me a moment, I'll go deal with the demonic tide first."
With his joining the battle, and the cultivators in the Giant Cauldron Immortal City rising up in resistance, the demonic tide finally receded half an hour later.
Afterwards, the city lord of Giant Cauldron Immortal City invited Fang Xiu and the others to the city lord's mansion.
"Brother Xiu, you guys have some tea first. I'm covered in dust and my clothes are tattered. I'll go change and be right back."
As he spoke, Zhao Hao was pulled away by two alluring women.
It wasn't until half an hour later that Zhao Hao returned, having changed his clothes. He had returned to his original appearance, but now had several more lip prints on his neck, and the smell of rouge lingered on him. Even a fool would know what he had been up to.
Zhao Hao smiled sheepishly, "Brother Xiu, it really wasn't my intention. As soon as I changed my clothes, those two maids clung to me and wouldn't let me out. They usually don't let me touch them much, they only let me come out at midnight..."
In fact, he wasn't lying. In the Hehuan Sect, he could only use the midnight hour each day, and it was usually occupied by the sect leader and elders. These two maids had finally gotten the chance to travel with him, and they looked forward to midnight every day.
Fang Xiu ignored what Zhao Hao had been doing and asked directly, "You were in Shenzhou before, why are you in Yunzhou?"
"I came to Yunzhou to rescue people on the orders of the sect leader of the Hehuan Sect. Yunzhou is about to fall, and the sect leader sent me to rescue the people of the Xuyue Palace."
Actually, it wasn't just me; all the major sects in the Divine Continent sent people here. I arrived relatively late, and I haven't found many people from the Void Moon Palace yet."
Fang Xiu's eyes flickered slightly. Rescuing the people of the Void Moon Palace? Could it be for Jiang Mengyue?
Why did you rescue the Void Moon Palace?
"Naturally, it's for the sake of Lady Moon Goddess. The Void Moon Palace is Lady Moon Goddess's sect and her followers. When Yunzhou fell, a deity issued a decree ordering all efforts to rescue the Void Moon Palace and even the entire people of Nanyue. I even heard that a deity personally intervened to rescue them."
Our Hehuan Sect is just here to clean up the mess and find those who are out on missions or have wandered off to the Xuyue Palace.
"By the way, Brother Xiu, you should know the Moon Goddess, right? Your deeds in Yunzhou spread far and wide, and even in Shenzhou, many legends about you circulated."
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu frowned. He had been disguised as Zhou Qingfeng in Yunzhou, so how come his true identity is now known to everyone?
Could it be...?
"Zhou Qingfeng has come to Kyushu?"
Zhao Hao nodded: "He not only came, but I heard that he has become quite familiar with the gods recently. More than ten years ago, he appeared in Kyushu and was even chased by the gods at that time."
At this point, Zhao Hao gave Fang Xiu a strange look: "They said it was because of you, Brother Xiu, that he was being chased. Later, Zhou Qingfeng ran away, and then somehow ended up with the gods. The misunderstanding was cleared up."
"You also know about the Nine Provinces Gods?"
“Zhou Qingfeng told me that after he returned, he came to see me and Yang Ming and said that if any of us met you, we should give you a message.”
"What did you say?"
He told you to be careful.
Fang Xiu: "......."
He roughly understood what Zhou Qingfeng meant by those words.
Zhao Hao clearly didn't understand, and still said with a grin, "Brother Xiu, he seems like a pretty nice guy, and he seems to care about you quite a bit."
"Um."
"How are Yang Ming and the others doing now?"
