The person had already left, and it was useless to continue searching. Xiang Sheng simply withdrew his spiritual consciousness, waved his sleeves to put away the Fang Cun Ji core that was already in an ownerless state, took the next step, and his figure instantly shuttled through the void and disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, in an unknown place in the Underworld, a young man who looked 90% like Lu Xuanji was staring into the void with his hands behind his back. Seeing Xiang Sheng leaving, he smiled slightly, turned around and said, "Let's go."
A black crow suddenly flew down from the eaves, uttering a hoarse, shrill cry: "Just going back like this? The Grand Master really won't blame you?"
"Blame?"
The young man thought for a moment and smiled slightly, "My merits and demerits offset each other, so there should be nothing to worry about."
Crow tilted his head, "Can this Xiang Sheng really offset the sin of losing the Fang Cun Collection?"
"She is not the reincarnation of Tianqing, nor is she the product of some other forbidden remnant, yet she was able to evade my plans and survive time and again."
The young man sighed softly, "Now, I've inexplicably become the Earth God of Dongzhou. Don't you think that's scary?"
Crow listened, and a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. "Fortunately, you ran away decisively and even gave up a mortal incarnation to delay time, otherwise the consequences would be unpredictable."
“As the saying goes, fortune and misfortune go hand in hand.”
The young man curled his lips and smiled faintly, "Being able to imprison such a monster forever in the forbidden land of Dongzhou and make him a land god is not in vain."
The crow cackles coldly, "No one else in this palace has ever experienced this woman's power. You'll definitely be scolded when you return."
"Then let them talk."
The young man chuckled, "I really hope they'll be competitive and come to Dongzhou to see for themselves."
Crow heard the hidden meaning in these words and his eyes widened. "Are you not going to report this woman's becoming a Earth God?"
"I only know that she has suddenly become extremely powerful, and she will clearly state it in the jade slips of her report."
The young man gave a meaningful smile and said, "As for the rest, I don't know anything at all."
The crow flapped its wings and became excited: "What are we waiting for? Let's go back!"
…
Duan Chengtong held a strange white compass in his hand and sped across a cracked piece of land.
He had thought of a way out long before he took action. However, due to his thoughts, some accidents occurred and he failed to get Mo Zhu's soul-summoning flag. His plan failed, but fortunately he saved his life.
Now, as long as you find your home, you can start a new journey.
As he was thinking this, he suddenly saw the void in the distance distort and a human figure appeared.
Who?
Duan Chengtong's heart trembled, and he turned away without saying a word, but he saw the figure flash and appear in front of him again, and the distance between them was shortened a lot.
Duan Chengtong's pupils suddenly shrank, and he immediately summoned the black skeleton. However, just as the skeleton took shape, it was suddenly suppressed by the space and dispersed for no reason.
Duan Chengtong was horrified. Without hesitation, he pointed a finger at his forehead and split his soul into three again, turning it into three clones with weaker auras. Then the three turned into nine and they fled separately.
However, before they could escape more than ten feet, a gust of wind swept past, and the eight clones exploded into a ball of blood mist. Only the original body was left, with a look of fear on his face.
Too strong! He was no match at all. Who was this terrifying cultivator who had never sinned against him?
He tried his best to suppress the extremely violent backlash, opened his eyes wide and looked forward, finally seeing the face clearly.
This sight almost made his eyes pop out of his head, his eyes full of disbelief.
"Impossible!... Ahem... How could it be you?!"
Xiang Sheng's expression was cold and gloomy. As she approached, the space around Duan Chengtong seemed to come alive, locking Duan Chengtong's limbs tightly.
Duan Chengtong couldn't break free. Looking at Xiang Sheng who was so close to him, his face became more and more ferocious and he roared:
"It's fake, it's all fake! You're not Xiang Sheng! You definitely aren't the real Xiang Sheng. She's already dead. Tianqing Pavilion's plan can't be wrong!"
Xiang Sheng didn't want to say a single word to Duan Chengtong. His movements seemed slow but were actually fast. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Duan Chengtong's brow, then pulled hard, pulling out a ball of transparent spirit.
Duan Chengtong immediately let out a scream, and a Nascent Soul the size of a fingernail escaped from his Dantian. It screamed in fear and knelt in the air.
But before he could completely kneel down, he was grabbed by Xiang Sheng's palm and thrown into the blood ring along with his soul.
The blood ring's energy-draining power was so strong that as soon as Duan Chengtong's soul and primordial infant entered it, they all let out miserable howls and quickly became dying.
But Xiang Sheng couldn't bear to let him die like this, so he poured a whole container of Yuanquan into it.
Duan Chengtong's spirit and primordial spirit quickly recovered and grew stronger, but then he suffered under the blood ring's wear and tear. This cycle repeated itself over and over again, and he finally understood what it meant to live a life worse than death.
“Ahhhhhh!”
“…”
"Xiang Sheng... please... kill me!"
In just a moment, Duan Chengtong's defenses were broken and he begged for mercy.
However, Xiang Sheng just glanced at it indifferently and withdrew his spiritual consciousness from the blood ring.
This little bit of torture was not even a fraction of the pain Wang Tuo felt in his heart.
How to avenge the old demon king and Wang Tuo himself will have to wait until Wang Tuo wakes up and decides for himself.
