Zhou Qi had considered running away, but he didn't dare. His life and death were in the hands of the evil god.
At this moment, he paced back and forth in the magnificent Heavenly Alliance Hall, his heart filled with unease.
His heart was pounding so hard it felt like it was going to jump out of his throat.
He felt his hands trembling, so he clenched his fists tightly, trying to calm himself down. However, his mind was in turmoil; he didn't know if he could escape this disaster.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the hall. The figure appeared silently and did not attract Zhou Qi's attention at all.
Time passed by, and Zhou Qi glanced out of the corner of his eye and seemed to discover something. His body froze, and a look of horror filled his eyes.
He turned his head stiffly, staring intently at the young figure.
It was a person wearing a blue robe, whose face seemed shrouded in mist, making it impossible to see his features.
Although he couldn't see the young man's face clearly, Zhou Qi could feel that the young man was watching him intently.
The bizarre scene made Zhou Qi's heart race even faster. He didn't know who this person was or why they were here.
He tried to guess the man's identity, but his mind went blank. All he knew was that this man's appearance filled him with an unprecedented fear.
Inside the hall, time passed slowly, and the atmosphere became extremely oppressive. He felt that he could no longer bear the pressure. He wanted to escape, but his feet were as if nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.
"Who are you!"
Zhou Qi managed to utter those three words with great difficulty, as if all his strength had been drained away!
The figure in the green robe remained silent. There was no energy fluctuation on his body, but the difference in their life levels seemed to cause Zhou Qi to break out in a cold sweat!
The figure in the green robe waved one hand, and two huge black objects appeared in front of him.
"You're a smart person, you know what to do."
After speaking, the figure in the green robe disappeared.
The pressure in the main hall did not lessen with the disappearance of the figure in blue; on the contrary, it became even heavier.
Zhou Qi was panting heavily. If the previous feeling was despair, as if he had fallen into an abyss, then the current feeling was one of confusion between life and death!
He stared intently at the two black objects in front of him and discovered that they were small worlds dominated by the laws of the void and supplemented by various other laws.
As he scanned the area with his divine sense, the scene inside horrified him.
The vast space was pitch black, with Zhou Ba and Zhou Jiu's figures positioned at its center.
They could neither speak nor move, and drops of water containing energy fell on their heads.
Their eyes were numb, devoid of any life.
Even though Zhou Qi was only observing them from the outside with his divine sense, he felt as if he were there himself, and the despair in their eyes was obvious to him. He couldn't imagine what Zhou Ba and Zhou Jiu had been feeling all these years.
Loneliness? Desolation? Despair?
Zhou Qi finally understood what it meant to be alive when it's worse than death!
He had an instant urge to rescue them, but he quickly dismissed that unrealistic idea.
He knew that since the man in the blue robe dared to leave Zhou Ba and Zhou Jiu in front of him so calmly, he wasn't afraid of him sabotaging the situation.
In other words, even with his cultivation level as a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he couldn't disrupt the stability of this dark world.
As a Great Luo Golden Immortal, he naturally had a lot of experience. He had even met two Quasi-Saints: the Evil God and Ling Shan Jun of the Extreme Mountain World.
The feeling he got from this man in green robes was that he was far beyond the Quasi-Saint realm. If it weren't for the obvious Quasi-Saint aura emanating from this man in green robes, he would have thought that this man was a Hunyuan Daluo with unfathomable Saintly might!
Leaving aside this brief encounter, just look at this black void before us; it already involves more than a thousand laws!
Moreover, the strength of each of its laws is above that of an evil god at the peak of the Quasi-Saint realm!
According to historical records, the Chaos Sea exists.
Generally, a person focuses on cultivating one major law, and even if they have studied other laws, it is only superficial.
A person who cultivates two Great Dao Laws is more than ten times stronger than a person who cultivates only one Great Dao Law!
But this man in the blue robe actually cultivated more than a thousand laws at the same time!
What would it look like if this were all-out combat power?
I'm afraid even the world of evil gods wouldn't be enough for him to fight!
He also guessed who the man in the blue robe was.
He is probably the real mastermind behind Junqing Chamber of Commerce and Yunxiao Palace!
This person is truly terrifying!
Thinking of this, Zhou Qi immediately knelt down and looked into the void, saying, "Senior! Zhou Qi knows your power and dares not be your enemy. It is only a pity that our souls have been forced by the evil god. Please have mercy and forgive our ignorance!"
His voice echoed throughout the hall, but after a long while, he heard no response.
Zhou Qihao remained unfazed and continued, "Senior! I am well aware of your power and would never dare to be your enemy. It is only regrettable that our souls have been forced by the evil god. Please have mercy and forgive our ignorance!"
After a long while, there was still no response from the main hall.
Undeterred, Zhou Qi kowtowed heavily, even cracking the stone-like ground beneath him.
He repeated what he had just said, but the hall was empty and there was no reply.
Three years passed in this way, and the entire main hall was reduced to rubble by Zhou Qi.
Those coming and going from the Heavenly Alliance were all surprised to see their leader repeatedly saying the same thing in the dilapidated hall beneath the black barrier.
They couldn't hear what Zhou Qi was saying, so they secretly guessed that Zhou Qi had gone mad.
"Senior! Zhou Qi knows your power and dares not oppose you. It is only a pity that our souls have been forced by the evil god. Please have mercy and forgive our ignorance!"
Thump!
Another loud crash, and the shattered hall finally gave way and collapsed completely.
What makes Zhou Qi better than Zhou Ba and Zhou Jiu is that he knows how to be content, how to advance and retreat, and that only sincerity has ever moved people's hearts.
Therefore, when he kowtowed, he would often use his magic to strengthen the floor of the main hall, but even so, the entire hall would still shatter.
Just as he was about to speak again, a voice pierced through the barrier in the void, and a terrifying heavenly sound rang in his ears.
“Zhou Ba and Zhou Jiu deserve to die, and Zhou Yi also deserves to die. Come to the Forbidden Land of the Abyss to see me.”
Zhou Qi was stunned and suddenly stopped. Although he was overjoyed, he was still disappointed that he had not been able to save the other three.
But he was already content. As the saying goes, "It's better to die for your fellow Daoists than for yourself." His own survival was more important than anything else.
Moreover, he saw that Zhou Ba and Zhou Jiu had almost reached their limit of mental torment over the years, and even if they came out, they would be in a broken state. Why bother trying to rescue them?
"Thank you, senior. Zhou Qi will head off now."
Zhou Qi's figure swiftly pierced through the void, and soon arrived at the edge of the original forbidden abyss.
Upon seeing what was in front of him, he couldn't help but break out in a sweat.
This is not a forbidden abyss at all; it is clearly a microcosm that transcends the vast world.
