The Matter Settled, Return to the City of Light!

None of them went after Heavenly Venerable Zhu.

Firstly, if a Saint Venerable expert wanted to escape, they couldn't catch up, and they had already missed their chance.

Secondly.

Of the people present, apart from Chen Ning, none of them were a match for Heavenly Venerable Zhu.

Going there would be suicide.

Moreover...

The most urgent task is to ensure that Chen Ning leaves the Darkness Ancient Road and brings back the message.

"Seniors, we hope you will be able to testify regarding Heavenly Venerable Zhu's actions today."

Chen Ning and the other two bowed.

They returned the greeting, saying, "Of course."

"By the way, this junior would like to return to the Light God Clan first to explain the ins and outs of the matter to the clan leader. After all, this matter concerns our clan's Heavenly Venerable Zhu, so I would appreciate your permission, seniors."

Logically, Chen Ning should be brought back to the Kunlun God Clan.

However, given the strength Chen Ning displayed at this moment, none of the three people present, including the Saint Emperor of the Death God Clan who disliked Chen Ning, dared to raise any objections.

Even if they joined forces, they couldn't contend with Heavenly Venerable Zhu.

However, Chen Ning was capable of forcing Heavenly Venerable Zhu to retreat.

"Truly, the younger generation is formidable. You should not need our protection. I'll take my leave now, and we'll explain what happened today when we return."

The Saint Emperor of the Moon God Clan looked at Chen Ning and spoke.

Chen Ning nodded slightly.

Immediately.

The three then went their separate ways.

At this moment.

The Other Shore Immortal Ship sailed through the air, and on its bow stood Sui Qingshan, Ding Erliang, Hua Luo, A Li, and the little monk.

Upon seeing Chen Ning, Hua Luo couldn't wait to leap down and throw Chen Ning into his arms.

Chen Ning affectionately ruffled her hair.

This time it was actually quite dangerous.

He successively faced the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable, the Abyss Demon God, the Heavenly Venerable Yifeng, and the Heavenly Venerable Zhu.

Each of them possesses the strength of Saint Venerable.

Faced with such a terrifying opponent, the slightest mistake could mean death.

In addition, there are the potential dangers brought about by time travel.

Chen Ning was walking on thin ice, his life hanging by a thread.

Fortunately, it's alright.

Thankfully, everything got through safely.

He defeated all his enemies, refined the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable, and advanced to the Saint Emperor Realm.

This journey along the Darkness Ancient Road.

A very fruitful harvest.

Next.

It's time to leave.

"The leader is blessed by heaven. I knew it long ago, Little Dingzi. A mere little demon can't possibly harm the leader," Ding Erliang said with a grin.

Sui Qingshan also spoke up, saying, "Chief, I have observed suspicious behavior from Heavenly Venerable Zhu; he may harbor ulterior motives. We must be on guard."

Chen Ning nodded. Sui Qingshan was indeed a perceptive person, but they were still a step too late in finding him.

After explaining what just happened.

Sui Qingshan and Ding Erliang were also secretly shocked. After the leader was kidnapped, he actually crossed a major realm directly.

It's simply the envy of everyone.

It could even fight against a Celestial Venerable.

As expected of the champion, truly blessed by Heaven's Favor.

"Let's go!"

Chen Ning spoke calmly.

"Okay!"

Ding Erliang responded and then urged the Other Shore Immortal Ship to sail out of the Darkness Ancient Road.

This journey along the Darkness Ancient Road caused quite a stir.

Next, each of the various God Clan will send additional personnel to patrol this area.

Even if the Eight-Armed Demon Venerable is not the origin of the future catastrophe, any anomalies on the Darkness Ancient Road will be detected in time.

The Light God Clan.

City of Light.

Chen Ning slowly stepped into the Light Divine Hall. At this time, many high-ranking members of the Light God Clan were present in the temple.

The Light Clan Leader also abandoned his usual benevolent demeanor at this moment.

Sitting on the first throne, he exuded an imposing aura without even trying to be angry.

To his left stood the Saint Venerable Qitian, and to his right stood Ji Hongyi, whom he had not seen for a long time due to seclusion.

Everyone saw Chen Ning arrive.

All eyes turned to Chen Ning.

Many high-ranking members of the Light God Clan were shocked.

Just as rumored, Chen Ning has actually reached the Saint Emperor Realm.

"It seems he really has refined the Eight-Armed Devil..."

In the Light Divine Hall.

The atmosphere was heavy.

The news of Heavenly Venerable Zhu's defection has spread, and the Light Clan Leader has naturally lost face.

"Greetings, senior."

Chen Ning nodded slightly.

The Light Clan Leader nodded, his eyes filled with remorse, and said, "It was my oversight that almost caused you harm."

"Heavenly Venerable Zhu has been in the clan for so long and has always been dutiful. If he intended to deceive, no one would have been able to see through him. Senior, there is no need to blame yourself. Besides, we still don't know his true intentions."

Chen Ning said calmly.

Upon hearing this...

The Light Clan Leader's face darkened, and he shouted, "Investigate! No matter what methods or connections you use, investigate thoroughly!"

The Saint Venerable Qitian suddenly spoke up, "Clan Chief, if we conduct a large-scale investigation, it might make our clan a laughingstock. Wouldn't it be better to investigate this matter discreetly?"

"Laughing stock?"

The Light Clan Leader roared, "Our clan has become a laughingstock! We've turned on each other, almost losing the future savior of our Vast Land. We've utterly disgraced ourselves! From this moment on, not only must we thoroughly investigate Heavenly Venerable Zhu's plot, but we must also capture him as soon as possible! I'm entrusting this matter to you."

"Your subordinate obeys."

The Saint Venerable Qitian clasped his hands and spoke.

His rival, whom he had fought for many years, had now become a traitor to the clan. Logically, he should be happy, because without Heavenly Venerable Zhu, he would have complete control over the clan's power.

No one can restrain him.

But.

Chen Ning, however, appeared out of nowhere.

This really didn't make him happy.
