I, Zang Ling, Have Outplayed Heaven by Half a Move!

Yan Shoujing finally found his Xiao Cui'er...

Although it was in a dream, this time his Xiao Cui'er would never leave him again. As long as he lived, Xiao Cui'er would stay with him in his dreams forever.

As the Nightmare Realm disappeared, things gradually calmed down. However, everyone was still frantically speculating about how Chu Xinghe had managed to make the Nightmare Evil Spirits vanish without a trace.

How exactly is this reversal of cause and effect achieved?

Don't even mention how confused everyone is; Chu Xinghe says... I'm even more confused than you all.

Reversing cause and effect... Star Divination Art... those don't even exist!

I, Chu Xinghe, swear to the heavens that I absolutely did not offend anyone in this game; I was completely uninvolved... Everything that happened in this game has absolutely nothing to do with me Chu Xinghe...

If I, Chu Xinghe, knew even a little bit, I would be that kind of person...

Whether you're confused or not, I Chu Xinghe, don't know, but I Chu Xinghe, am confused within confusion...

Are you all crazy, you Evil Spirit Clan? Are you trying to play some kind of magic trick on me?

And you guys are fine with rescuing people... but what the hell is the meaning of all of you bringing gifts?

Without a word, Xie Yue gifted the Evil God's Spirit Eye... The Four Sacred Beasts and Ma Liang and the others immediately took flight...

That's fine... But look at that Zang Ling, do you even remember you're an Evil Spirit?

What the hell is this about you being more diligent than the Civil Engineering Department disciples in our Vast Heaven Holy Land?

Ever since Zang Ling entered Vast Heaven Holy Land, Chu Xinghe has kept a close eye on Zang Ling.

If the Zang Ling makes even the slightest movement, I won't even Purple Lightning Flash; I'll just Thunder Dragon Destroys the World to obliterate Zang Ling completely, leaving not a single trace behind!

According to Chu Xinghe's estimation, given that this Zang Ling is an Evil Spirit, how could he possibly be completely without any ulterior motives?

If he had even the slightest disloyalty, I would have killed him on the spot. Without the Zang Ling, tell me how we'd be able to produce Blood Spirit Stones so easily?

However, Chu Xinghe went there for half a month in a row, and each time he kept a close eye on the Zang Ling.

But guess what... forget about having ulterior motives, this Zang Ling is actually more diligent than before.

He used to be able to work eight hours a day out of twelve, but now he can work ten hours a day out of twelve...

Seriously, as an Evil Spirit, don't you have any shame?

Are you from our Vast Heaven Holy Land?

What's the meaning of you, an Evil Spirit, working harder than anyone else in building up our Vast Heaven Holy Land?

The problem is, if the Zang Ling remains completely still, Chu Xinghe has no reason to make a move even if he wanted to.

As the saying goes, if there are difficulties, we must overcome them; if there are no difficulties, we'll create them and overcome them!

As long as we don't lose heart, we'll always find more solutions than problems!

Therefore, Chu Xinghe immediately sought out the spirit training master Ouyang Ling and told Ouyang Ling directly not to train Zang Ling during this period of time!

Ouyang Ling never asked a single question about Senior Brother Xinghe's requests; Senior Brother Xinghe simply did whatever he asked!

Seeing Ouyang Ling nod in agreement, Chu Xinghe also smiled.

Oh, you Zang Ling... Look... I, Chu Xinghe, personally helped you alleviate all kinds of torment. Under these circumstances, you'd better hurry up and show any disloyalty...

You'd better have some secret method to escape...

If you really manage to escape and run all the way back to your hometown, I, Chu Xinghe, will thank your ancestors for eight generations!

If you fail to escape, that's alright. Please Zang Ling assured, even if you fail to escape, I, Chu Xinghe, will still find a way to send you back to your hometown.

So Zang Ling, just go ahead and carry out your plan... Whether you succeed or fail this time, you'll definitely be able to go back home!

It has to be said... Chu Xinghe's method worked.

As Ouyang Ling stopped attacking, Zang Ling's mental state gradually stabilized.

In the immediate aftermath of the stabilization... just as Chu Xinghe had predicted, Zang Ling began to consider whether he could escape the Vast Heaven Holy Land.

Although the Evil God's Fang has been sealed by Gu Mingchao, within the Vast Heaven Holy Land area, it can only use its power to aid Body Cultivation, and cannot use its ability to open the path to the Evil Shadow Continent.

However, as long as one escapes the area of Vast Heaven Holy Land, this seal will allow one to immediately use the Evil God's Fang and return to the Evil Shadow Continent.

In the past few days, Zang Ling has seemed to see a glimmer of hope for escaping death.

But just as Zang Ling was planning his escape, he noticed something was wrong!

Because not only has Ouyang Ling not come to see me these past few days... it seems even Chu Xinghe hasn't shown up...

In the past, the Zang Ling might have thought that something had happened at the Vast Heaven Holy Land that had caused the delay.

However, after learning just how terrifying Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art was, Zang Ling felt that this was absolutely impossible!

There must be something fishy going on here!

Thinking of this, Zang Ling immediately stopped all his plans and worked at the Vast Heaven Holy Land on time every day!

Hmph! Chu Xinghe... Do you think I, the Zang Ling, became the Heart-Devouring Holy Son? I'm not just talented; my mind is extraordinary too.

Do you think I don't understand your plan?

If this had happened in the past, without knowing how ruthless Chu Xinghe's Star Divination Art was, I might have fallen for it...

But now I understand everything about Zang Ling. It must have been you, Chu Xinghe, who made Ouyang Ling stop training me, wanting to make me relax and create the possibility of me escaping. Then, when I tried to escape, you jumped out and grabbed me, handing me over to Ouyang Ling for crazy torture.

Ouyang Ling only tormented my body, but you Chu Xinghe, don't even want to spare my spirit, do you?

But Chu Xinghe, oh Chu Xinghe... I, Zang Ling, saw through your plan long ago...

I'm not running away no matter what. I will never give you any chance to manipulate my Zang Ling Reaper!

For the next few days, Chu Xinghe waited and waited... but after waiting for so long, the Zang Ling didn't even show the slightest intention of escaping. What the hell was that? They seemed to be working even harder than before?

Was it because there were too many sentries, both visible and hidden, that the Zang Ling believed there was no chance of escape?

Thinking of this, Chu Xinghe did not hesitate to have Senior Brother Shen Chun remove all the visible and hidden sentries guarding the area where the Zang Ling was located. Not only did he remove the visible and hidden sentries, Chu Xinghe even specially helped the Zang Ling find an escape route... and removed all the visible and hidden sentries along this route as well.

Chu Xinghe said, "The Zang Ling... This is all I can do to help you. Go and take a look. It's only because I, Chu Xinghe, spoke up that I could help. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, Senior Brother Shen Chun would have arrested them on the spot as Evil Spirit spy!"

I've gone to such lengths to help you that I'm practically shameless... I'm almost ready to arrange for someone to send you away!

So, Zang Ling One, you mustn't let me down...

Just as Chu Xinghe was anxiously awaiting news of the Zang Ling's escape... news arrived...

The message came from Shen Chun... Senior Brother Shen Chun contacted him.

"Junior Brother Xinghe, that was absolutely incredible!"

Chu Xinghe: "?"

"Junior Brother Xinghe, the first two days you asked me to remove all the sentries guarding the Zang Ling, both overt and covert. I thought you wanted to let the Zang Ling escape... but it turns out you meant this!"

Chu Xinghe: "??"

"Junior Brother Xinghe... your methods are simply amazing! Just now, Zang Ling came to me on his own initiative, saying that he had discovered a route to escape from Vast Heaven Holy Land, and expressed his dissatisfaction with the negligence in my arrangement of overt and covert sentries... He even strongly demanded that I quickly replenish these overt and covert sentries! I never imagined that you removed those overt and covert sentries for this reason. Junior Brother Xinghe, your grasp of people's hearts is simply unparalleled... Did you use the Star Divination Art to calculate that even if you created these opportunities for Zang Ling, he would absolutely not dare to escape?"

"Junior Brother Xinghe, this is a psychological tactic you're using!"

Chu Xinghe: "??????????"

Chu Xinghe was completely dumbfounded... What the hell? That bastard Zang Ling not only didn't run away, he even went to Shen Chun and demanded that Shen Chun block up the escape route that he had painstakingly created for him?

Just kidding...

Are there any normal people in this Evil Shadow Continent?

What the hell is wrong with the brains of your Evil Spirit Clan?

I, Chu Xinghe, have gone to great lengths to plan your escape route. I've removed all the sentries, both visible and hidden. You don't need to put in much effort. If you just find a time when there are fewer people around, you don't even need to hide; you can just walk out...

Instead of running away, you actually went to Shen Chun and asked him to increase the guards?

If your Zang Ling is ill, please go see a doctor, okay?

You damn Evil Spirit, instead of thinking about escaping, what are you trying to do by building up our Vast Heaven Holy Land?

Have you forgotten that you didn't actually vote... you were just forced into it... but the way you're doing it now makes it look like you really did vote!

Zang Ling doesn't know how devastated Chu Xinghe is... but Zang Ling knows one thing: Chu Xinghe, you've underestimated me, Zang Ling Chu Xinghe!

I saw through all your schemes a long time ago!

First, you need to get Ouyang Ling to stop torturing me. You want to make me relax my guard, and once I relax, I'll start thinking about running away.

And then, you deliberately created an escape route for me...

Heh... What a pity, Chu Xinghe, do you think I, Zang Ling, am stupid?

Your escape route is practically right in my face... How can the mighty Vast Heaven Holy Land suddenly have such a major defensive lapse? Tell me, is that reasonable?

As the saying goes, something unusual is bound to happen!

This may seem like an escape route, but in reality, it's impossible to escape the Vast Heaven Holy Land... This is a trap you Chu Xinghe, dug for my Zang Ling!

If I really follow this route and run away, I'm afraid you'll catch me immediately, and I, Zang Ling, know better than anyone what awaits me!

That's the art of winning hearts and minds!

You, Chu Xinghe, are trying to trick me into using the Zang Ling!

Let me tell you! Not a chance!

Even the shrewd Chu Xinghe can make mistakes. Although I, Chu Xinghe, was Zang Ling in the Vast Heaven Holy Land, I still saw through your conspiracy!

Everyone says that you, Chu Xinghe, are infallible, like a god, but I, Zang Ling, Half a Move Ahead of Heaven!
