The dense array of restrictive runes swept across the starry sky and the vast, medium, and small worlds that had just been affected by the battle in the blink of an eye, erasing all traces that might have exposed them.
Afterwards, Lou Munan tore open a spatial rift and entered the Netherworld.
Just after Lou Munan left, ripples appeared in the starry sky, and then a beautiful figure emerged from the shimmering vortex of ripples.
It was a woman.
The woman wore a moon-white dress with a blue ribbon tied around her arm and a palace sash and jade pendant hanging from her waist. Behind her was a full moon, as bright as a mirror. Her skin was as white as snow, her face as bright as the moon, and there was a crescent moon mark between her eyebrows. She was surrounded by celestial light, pure and flawless.
If Ayao were here, she would definitely recognize this as the Moon Queen.
The Moon Empress is an ancient female immortal emperor, just like A Yao's master, Feng Wu. She is called the Moon Empress, not because she is the wife of a certain emperor. The word "Empress" refers to the emperor, not the empress.
However, this "Moon Queen" is not the original Moon Queen, but one of the Moon Queen's five incarnations.
The clone's divine sense spread out after a month, clearly indicating that a battle at the level of an Immortal Emperor had taken place here. But who was it?
She tried to calculate it with her fingers, but couldn't figure it out at all.
She lingered in this star system for a while, but nothing happened in the end, so she had no choice but to leave.
————
Countless wisps of demonic energy flew about in the blood-red sky, and the earth below was littered with corpses. On a huge skull that resembled a mountain peak, blood mist swirled, and within the blood mist sat a figure sitting cross-legged. After a long while, the blood mist contracted and finally merged entirely into the body of the cross-legged man.
Lou Munan's face was very gloomy; he was extremely angry.
Xu Fengzhi underestimated his madness. Lou Munan did not choose to exclude Xu Fengzhi from his primordial spirit; instead, he chose to devour Xu Fengzhi along with the terrifying poison and digest the "Tears of Purification." If it wanted to purify him, he would contaminate it in return.
He succeeded.
The price was heavy. He was already less than one percent of his peak strength, and now he is less than one ten-thousandth of his former strength.
However, once he completely devours Xu Fengzhi, this disobedient clone, his strength will immediately recover to one-third of his peak.
Although they successfully retrieved Xu Fengzhi, the disobedient clone, the thought of his betrayal and scheming still lingered.
Damn it!!
Lou Munan grew angrier the more he thought about it.
Just taking him back like this isn't satisfying, it's not satisfying at all.
With a thought, Lou Munan left the Netherworld and returned to the Azure Realm.
————
In the Canglan Realm, within the Shenmeng Sect, all was quiet; everything was asleep.
Suddenly, ripples appeared in the space, and then a man dressed in a magnificent black robe appeared. This man looked exactly like Xu Fengzhi, but his expression and temperament were completely different from Xu Fengzhi's.
If Xu Fengzhi were a pine tree amidst mountains and rivers, then this man would be a red spider lily blooming in hell, exuding danger and mystery. The night wind whipped his long hair, his smile carrying a chilling coldness, and he seemed to be talking to himself:
“I’ve extracted the souls and refined the spirits of everyone in the entire Divine Dream Sect, including your parents, okay?”
Xu Fengzhi remained unresponsive.
Lou Munan's smile faded slightly. He moved swiftly and appeared in Xu Fengzhi's study. He walked to the large desk, where a painting lay unfinished. Lou Munan picked it up, looked at the painting of A Yao, and chuckled softly.
"It's a good drawing. You really like it?"
He sensed a slight emotional fluctuation in Xu Fengzhi. Even though he immediately tried to control it, the subtle emotional fluctuation could not escape Lou Munan's perception, since they were essentially the same person.
"Hahahaha..." Lou Munan burst into laughter, the sound echoing in the deathly silent space, sounding somewhat eerie.
"You like this little girl? That's wonderful." Lou Munan said, his amber eyes turning blood red, his pupils suddenly narrowing to vertical slits, his voice as cold as ice:
"Just watch how I drive her to the brink of collapse!"
————
Ayao lay on the rattan chair, gazing at the moonlit sky, her mind filled with thoughts of the collapse of the secret realm.
This never happened in my past life. The secret realm couldn't have collapsed for no reason. It must have been that guy on the second level. Has he escaped yet? What will he do after he comes out?
Thinking back to the oppressive aura and dark power she felt when she confronted that guy, Ayao still felt lingering fear.
That's a demon that's been sealed away for four trillion years. Once he's released, he definitely won't do anything good. Where is he hiding now? Is he still in the Canglan Realm?
During the days she was confined in the secret realm, her three clones who went out were closely monitoring all kinds of anomalies. Now, her four clones are also paying attention to all kinds of anomalies in the Canglan Realm, but so far, nothing special has happened.
Could it be that he is not in the Canglan Realm?
It's highly likely that guy left the Canglan Realm. After all, it's just a small world. He felt that the cultivators and living beings here weren't enough to satisfy his hunger, so it's normal for him to go to other realms.
There is also a possibility that he forcibly broke the seal and is now very weak, so he is hiding.
Then Ayao thought of Xu Fengzhi. What secrets did he hold?
When his blood fell, all the statues shattered.
And the name he pronounced.
"Ah Tang, who is Ah Tang?" Ah Yao murmured to herself.
