In a certain black hall, a figure in black robes gritted his teeth, fury blazing in his heart.
"Damn it! It's him again, ruining This Seat's plans time and time again."
The Eight Cosmos Source Cauldron had originally been his supreme treasure. Just moments ago, he had been using it to observe Sou Shou, and when he saw Sou Shou actually take the initiative to touch the Darkness Qi, he had burst into wild laughter.
Then his eyes shifted, and an idea instantly came to him. He wanted to control Sou Shou; with Sou Shou's strength, he would undoubtedly be a great asset.
Thus, he cast a spell and drove the Darkness Qi into Sou Shou's body, then activated the cauldrons and had them reveal their true forms before crashing into Sou Shou's body.
After succeeding, he had laughed endlessly. But when he tried to activate the Eight Cosmos Source Cauldron to release darkness and control Sou Shou, turning him into a puppet, he discovered that he had lost contact with the cauldron.
The Eight Cosmos Source Cauldron that had once belonged to him no longer obeyed his control, and he immediately flew into a rage.
He had tried to steal a chicken, only to lose the rice used to lure it.
This black-robed figure was the one who had fought Sou Shou in the Chi World space.
Just as Sou Shou was about to kill him, a streak of light from the cosmos enveloped him. He escaped death and returned to his own dojo.
Though he wondered who had saved him, the power that had come from the cosmos was beyond his ability to investigate. Thus, he bowed toward the Void in thanks.
Since he could not defeat Sou Shou, he turned his attention to the Five-Colored Feathered Fish
