Shadow Realm.
Fang Xiu traversed space and landed in a corner of the Shadow Demon Realm.
On the barren land, some monsters completely shrouded in shadow wandered aimlessly. They had all sorts of strange appearances, some humanoid and some beast-like, but each had a corresponding prototype in reality.
It was as if these shadow monsters were shadows that had been peeled off from the main body.
The entire Shadow Demon Realm is like a projection of a world, with mountains, water, flowers, and grass, all composed of shadows of varying depths.
Fang Xiu's arrival seemed quite abrupt, because he was the only one who wasn't a shadow.
However, even so, the shadowy monsters roaming around him seemed to be unable to see him, and would not pay any attention to him even if they walked past him.
"This is the territory of the Shadow Angels? It lives up to its name." Fang Xiu muttered to himself. The reason he came here was naturally to start by taking down the weaker ones before dealing with the Blood Angels.
He learned about the basic situation around the Xuanming Domain from the blond man, who said that three Heavenly Demon Gods lived near the Xuanming Domain.
They are the Blood Angel, the Shadow Angel, and the Aging Witch.
The Aging Witch is not her real name. She doesn't know her own name because she hasn't fully recovered her memories, but she possesses a supernatural power that can age even gods. Therefore, the people of Xuanming Domain call her the Aging Witch.
This is the current situation in the underworld. The number of demons far exceeds that of immortals, which often results in a single realm facing attacks from several demons simultaneously.
The Wangchuan Domain, where Yang Xian is located, is actually considered relatively good, at least it has not fallen. In contrast, the Xuanming Domain has long since fallen and become the territory of the Blood Angels.
Among these three Heavenly Demon Gods, the weakest is the Shadow Angel, with a sixth-rank strength. In fact, the former Blood Angel was just as weak as him, but he improved later.
As for the Aging Witch, her strength is unknown. Since her memories have not yet been restored, her strength fluctuates. According to the blond man, even her former master, the Blood Angel, was very wary of her.
With this comparison, Fang Xiu naturally went to find the Shadow Angel.
He stood in the shadows for a moment, pondering, and finally pulled out a handful of blood-red feathers and a few drops of blood.
"Change."
With his command, the drops of blood and crimson feathers merged into his body, and at the same time, his body began to swell, his muscles bulged, and his facial features began to change.
A moment later, a burly, over two-meter-tall, bloodthirsty angel named Kimil appeared.
His appearance was exactly the same as the real Kimir, and even his aura was identical.
This technique utilizes the transformation skills of Sun Wukong, combined with the blood and feathers of Kimir. The overall appearance is not so much similar as identical.
Then, Fang Xiu, who was dressed as Kimir, flapped his wings slightly and took off into the air. He swaggered through the Shadow Demon Realm like a king inspecting his territory, his aura undisguised and unrestrained.
Such a high-profile move was bound to attract the attention of the Shadow Angel.
"Kimiir! You lowly angel who broke the contract, how dare you come here!" A sharp shout spread across the Shadow Demon Realm, a gale arose, and the shadowy land rippled like ocean waves in response to the shout.
The next moment, a huge shadow rose from the ground, the thick shadow gushing out like ink, slowly transforming into a winged humanoid figure.
Then, the ink faded away like water, revealing the true face of the person: a female angel with blonde hair, blue eyes, and snow-white skin. There were dark purple shadows at the corners of her eyes, and even her lips were dark purple. She was only wearing a white shirt, and bloodstained iron chains hung around her neck, wrists, and even ankles.
What is most striking is the wings on her back, which are not the pure white of ordinary angels, but pitch black, like the feathers of a raven.
She was filled with rage, her eyes blazing with icy killing intent, as if she wanted to tear Kimir to pieces.
Fang Xiu recalled what he had learned about the relationship between the two from the blond man and carefully chose his words.
The Shadow Angel is named Miranda, and she is on the opposing side to the Blood Angel Kimil. Miranda belongs to the side of Hell, and her leader is the fallen angel Lucifer, while Kimil belongs to the side of Heaven, and his leader is the seraphim Michael.
Heaven and Hell have always been enemies, even after joining the Other Shore. The demons are not united; on the contrary, they are constantly at odds with each other.
Since his wife was sealed away, the struggle between the demons and gods has become increasingly apparent.
As for the Shadow Angel's claim of violating the contract, Fang Xiu was unaware of it. In the end, the blond man he had captured was just a small fry who had no access to information from the higher levels.
Adhering to the principle of asking questions when in doubt, Fang Xiu imitated the Blood Angel's appearance, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth, revealing his gleaming white teeth. His hawk-like eyes were filled with cruelty and greed as he stared intently at the Shadow Angel: "What contract? What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Seeing that provocative smile, the Shadow Angel instantly flew into a rage. She clenched her fists so tightly that the chains binding her creaked under the strain.
But sensing the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, she held back and gritted her teeth, saying, "Stop playing dumb! What about the million souls you owe us every year? Are you planning to break the contract?!"
Upon hearing this, Fang Xiu's smile widened, and the pressure of his smile caused fine wrinkles to appear around his deep-set eyes, adding to his gloomy and violent appearance.
"I already said I don't remember any contract. Could you help me recall it?"
"Ah! You lowly, inferior angel!" The Shadow Angel grew even angrier, and violent demonic energy erupted from her body, causing the entire Shadow Demon Realm to tremble violently and nearly collapse.
"It was you who came to us back then, agreeing that you, me, and the witch would join forces to deal with Mo You, the lord of the Xuanming Domain, and that we would divide the Xuanming Domain equally after the mission was accomplished. But after we eliminated Mo You, you and the witch joined forces to severely injure me and drive me out of the Xuanming Domain."
I was prepared to fight you to the death back then, but you demanded a million souls a year. And now? Aside from the first few years, you haven't given me anything since you broke through to the fifth rank!
