Qian An was really good to Wang Xuan; he was a kind-hearted old man. Yet, he ended up like this. In his own home, his spirit was mostly devoured by a creature. There was no blood, but it was even more cruel.

"You want to recreate the bloody scenes of ancient times?!" Wang Xuan's eyebrows shot up in anger, and without hesitation, he charged forward.

On the way, he had seen some birds of prey, which were so big that they looked like monsters. How dare they be so brazen now?

Old Qian was a good man, but his later years were so miserable. His spirit was almost extinguished by the constant eating away of his body, and he was about to become a walking corpse.

Wang Xuan's eyes were bloodshot, filled with intense killing intent. He leaped dozens of meters in one bound, smashing through the doors and windows with a loud crash, and barged straight in. He was absolutely furious!

"Brother Wang, you..." Qian An's granddaughter, Qian Qian, was unaware of what had happened. Seeing him so out of control and barging into her grandfather's bedroom, she exclaimed in surprise.

On the bed, Qian An suddenly sat up, a faint dark Dark Light flashing in his eyes as he opened and closed them. He looked surprised and asked, "Wang Xuan, what's wrong with you?"

The Qian Family was alarmed, and many people rushed over, puzzled. They all knew that Wang Xuan had a good relationship with the old man in the family, so what was going on?

Wang Xuan stared at the old man on the bed. Even after he had made such a commotion, the creature remained calm and was still trying to get away with it.

However, it didn't dare to eat Qian An's spirit body anymore, and quietly lay dormant in his flesh and blood, scrutinizing Wang Xuan!

"Get out here! In this era, you, as beings who escaped the curtain of history, instead of choosing to integrate into human society in a friendly manner, dare to Blood Food on ordinary people? Are you courting death?!"

Wang Xuan's voice boomed like thunder in the courtyard, striking first and intimidating the monster.

At the same time, this can be seen as an explanation to the Qian Family, to prevent them from being unaware of the situation and causing trouble.

The Qian Family members were stunned, and then a chill ran down their spines. There was a demon in the room, feeding on Qian An? This was simply unimaginable!

Now, everyone on the New Star is talking about the Zhong family's escape to the deep space of the universe, and they even mentioned the terrible consequences of immortals Transcendent Immortals over and demons coming to the human world. As a result, the Qian Family was the first to have this bloody experience.

"Brother Wang, please save my grandfather!" Qian Qian's face turned pale; this matter was too terrifying.

"Brother Wang, what's going on? You have to protect our old man!" the other members of the Qian Family shouted.

"Nonsense!" Qian An exclaimed, his eyes Dark Light slightly. He scanned the Qian Family and said, "This person has his eye on our Qian Family's assets."

Then he smiled and said, "Wang Xuan, whatever your demands are, we can sit down and talk. Everything is negotiable. Just don't hurt my family."

Wang Xuan wanted to kill him with a sword, That Monster inside Lao Qian was fearless. It was intimidating and threatening him, using the remaining part of Qian An's spirit as a hostage.

Wang Xuan could see it clearly. It was now pitch black, the primordial spirit of a beast, resembling a jackal, but with a single horn and three pairs of jet-black wings.

Its primordial spirit form is roughly similar to its real physical body; this is a demon!

At this moment, the monster must have realized that Wang Xuan could see through its true form. It licked its lips inside Qian An's body, its smile cold and malicious. It pressed down on less than 40% of Qian An's spiritual body with one claw and grinned at the outside world.

The Qian Family is in chaos, and many people are at a loss, wondering who to listen to.

Wang Xuan looked ahead and said, "Come out now and tell us your Roots, and you'll have a good ending. Otherwise, you'll regret it."

"Wang Xuan, there is still Heavenly Principle in this world. You cannot rely on your status as an extraordinary being to do whatever you want. The Transcendent Immortals are crossing over and will never allow someone like you to lord it over society and act recklessly. Even if you have your eye on the Qian Family's assets and our secret vault, you still need to be reasonable."

Within Qian An's body, the beast-like spirit wore a cold smile, brimming with malice. It had already secretly sent out signals, waiting for reinforcements!

Wang Xuan's senses were incredibly sharp; he detected the special spiritual fluctuations it was secretly releasing, using a demonic secret technique to summon its kind.

He assessed the situation and felt he could take it down without harming Qian An's damaged spirit, so he prepared to make his move.

"You understand everything, you know there is Heavenly Principle in the world, yet you are offending it, turning black into white, and placing your own crimes on others. Have you thought about the consequences?" Wang Xuan said.

Sizzle!

In an instant, a streak of light shot out, so fast it was like a celestial being descending from the heavens, dazzlingly silvery-white, and instantly disappeared into Qian An's body, leaving no time to react.

This is Zheng Wu's Primordial Spirit Chain, a top-tier Secret Treasures. It was broken by the Old Testament, but Wang Xuan used the "living gold" from the Old Zhong family's secret vault to connect and repair it.

Everyone exclaimed in surprise, "What is that thing that has entered Qian An's body?"

With a whoosh, Wang Xuan pulled on the Primordial Spirit Chain, pulling the That Monster out and completely binding it. It resembled a jackal, its single horn radiating Dark Light, struggling violently, howling incessantly, its face ferocious.

Wang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was his first time using this supreme treasure, he managed to defeat the monster without making a mistake.

However, when he looked at Qian An, his expression darkened. Old Qian probably wouldn't live much longer; he only had 30-40% of his spiritual body remaining, and he had suffered too much damage.

"Wang Xuan!" the monster struggled and roared.

Originally, it was a spiritual state that ordinary people could not see. After establishing itself in the Supernatural Domain, it was as if it was isolated from ordinary people, and no matter what happened, ordinary people were unaware of it.

However, the Primordial Spirit Chain, being a renowned rare treasure, caused it to manifest its true form upon being locked, revealing its ferocious beast-like appearance.

"Monster!"

"It was hiding inside my grandfather's body! Oh my god, what did it do?"

Qian An is one of the core members of the Qian Family. When this happened, someone immediately sought help from the Qian Family headquarters and informed them of the specific situation.

Wang Xuan stared at the monster on the Primordial Spirit Chain and said, "Will you tell me on your own initiative, or do you want me to force you to?"

With a ripping sound, the Primordial Spirit Chain emitted beams of light, instantly slicing off a portion of the ferocious beast's primordial spirit, turning it into a rain of light that dissipated into the air, causing it to let out a shrill scream.

"In ancient times, there were times when demons roamed the land, slaughtering cities, eating the living, and leaving the land barren. Do you really want such a bloody scene to reappear in the world?!" Wang Xuan demanded.

"Ah..." The demon screamed incessantly. Every time the chains were tightened, its primordial spirit light dissipated, and its spiritual body was being dismembered.

"Tell me or not?!" Wang Xuan said coldly. He was truly furious because even killing this monster wouldn't save Qian An's life.

He extended a beam of light, containing a rich, Mysterious Factor, which entered Qian An's body, waking him up.

"I never imagined I'd encounter a demon, and my later years would be so miserable. Thankfully, Wang Xuan, you arrived in time, preventing me from dying silently and being possessed by this monster, becoming Living Corpse," Qian An sighed.

He was well aware of his situation. When the demon devoured his spirit within him, it stripped him of his life imprint, acquired his memories, and tried to take his place. It also clearly told him that he was no longer alive and that he was now just a remnant soul, like a candle flame that could be extinguished at any moment in the wind.

"Grandpa..." Qian Qian and Qian Rui cried and rushed to Qian An's bedside.

Wang Xuan remained silent. Old Qian was just an ordinary old man, not a superhuman. His mental body was inherently fragile, and there were no particularly effective means to keep him alive.

"Ah, let me go, I'll talk!" the demon howled. Each time the Primordial Spirit Chain tightened, they caused a part of it to break apart, which was equivalent to cutting it into a thousand pieces.

Soon, Wang Xuan learned that it came from an extremely powerful demon camp behind the Great Curtain, and that behind it was a peerless demon—Qi Yi.

A terrifying demon who dared to vie for the supreme treasure— the Carefree Boat —and kill a peerless powerhouse!

"How many companions do you have, and where are they?" Wang Xuan pressed.

"A group has arrived. They're in the Cold Mist Mountain outside Su City. They could come at any moment!" The demon couldn't withstand this hellish torment. Primordial Spirit Fragment were constantly being chipped away, and it screamed in agony.

Bang!

Wang Xuan gave a violent jolt, and the silver chains tore it into pieces. With a final wail, it disintegrated, and its primordial spirit was burned to ashes by the silver light.

"Old Qian, I've avenged you!" Wang Xuan said.

Qian An nodded and smiled at him, but he was extremely tired, listless, and had a dim look in his eyes. He sighed, "I'm not as decisive as Old Zhong. I should have left long ago."

The Qian Family's senior members arrived and whispered to Qian An, talking about many things.

"Huh?!" Wang Xuan froze a high-ranking official, and the Primordial Spirit Chain suddenly flew out. With a hiss, a monster was locked out of the official's body, revealing its primordial spirit form.

"Awooo..." The beast's roar was loud and shook people's spirits. It howled for a long time, but it was strangled by Wang Xuan in one go. It couldn't even hurt an ordinary person.

"How dare you! You've only just returned to the mortal world, and you already want to fill it with bloodshed. Demons like you should all be extinct. Do you still think this is ancient times?!" Wang Xuan said coldly.

The Qian Family's top executives all changed their expressions and immediately made a decision, saying, "We will immediately set off into deep space to carry out the Primordial Plan!" They were truly afraid.

"Let's go, leave as soon as possible, and don't come back anytime soon," Qian An said.

He gave Wang Xuan a weak nod, and soon after, he slowly closed his eyes.

"Old Qian, farewell!" Wang Xuan turned around. The death of an acquaintance of his had stirred his murderous intent. These demons were lawless; in this era, they still wanted to Blood Food on humans?!

Now, a large number of people from this camp have returned, and who knows how many they will devour!

"Hello!" Wang Xuan contacted the True Immortal of the Zheng family. He needed to understand the situation. Now that he was Zheng Wu, he couldn't afford not to use his resources and connections.

Since their last parting, the three immortals had only contacted him once, exchanging phone numbers and agreeing to help him reach out to the behind the Great Curtain to gather Five-Colored Soil, Immortal Nectar, and other resources.

In fact, the Zheng family's True Immortals are now somewhat suspicious, because Wang Xuan sent away the Zhong family's warship fleet today.

"I got the item!" Wang Xuan's voice was slightly cold. He sent them a blurry photo of the Golden Bamboo Slip, telling them that success doesn't necessarily require bloodshed; a subtle and gradual approach is better.

"Young master, I'll come to see you right away!" The person on the other end immediately became excited.

"Three days ago, when I was at the Zhong family's house, someone set up an altar for a hunt. Have you found out who it was?" Wang Xuan asked calmly. At that time, black chains bound him and seven blood-red swords fell, which really threatened his life.

"Zhou Chong, he's contacting people to deal with you. Behind this person is an unparalleled expert, who was revered as the Ancestor of Celestial Immortals — Qi Teng —even before he ascended to immortality in the mortal world!"

The immortal from the Zheng family was very solemn and told Wang Xuan that he must be on high alert. Not only was the peerless expert behind this camp extremely terrifying, but Zhou Chong was also not easy to deal with, as he was suspected of obtaining the legendary artifact from ancient times— the Soul Locking Bell.

"Zhou Chong has been getting very close to those people from the demon race lately, and they've been plotting something. We suspect that the key figures from the two camps, Qi Teng, the Ancestor of Celestial Immortals, and Qi Yi, the peerless demon, may have joined forces!"

"I'm Su City. There's a group of demons here. Is Zhou Chong instigating them?" Wang Xuan asked coldly.

"I'll check!"

Wang Xuan put away his phone, his eyes deep. That day, Zhou Chong obtained the Soul Locking Bell from the Sun family, while he quietly took the God Slaying Banner.

Earlier, Zhou Chong had appeared at Source Pool Mountain, and his subordinates had even summoned Wang Xuan there to mark him and recruit him.

Wang Xuan didn't go; on that day, Source Pool Mountain was bombed to pieces by the Sun family's warships!

"He most likely guessed that the God Slaying Banner had fallen into my hands." Wang Xuan was filled with murderous intent. The other party had provoked him first and had been targeting him repeatedly.

Call!

In the distance, the wind howled as a raptor flew by. Its massive body was ten meters long, entirely black, and carrying a large amount of black demonic mist as it spread its wings and flew away.

"Demons are even more hateful!"

Wang Xuan looked up and sensed a faint hostility. In this day and age, did these monsters really want to revert to the past and relive the massacres of cities? What were they thinking!

They are too audacious. After killing Qian An and having two of their companions killed by Wang Xuan, they still dared to send a demon to approach and gather information.

Wang Xuan piloted his Flying Boat, soaring into the sky. He unleashed a sword, its cold light illuminating the heavens, its aura reaching the heavens!

The flying sword swept across like a cascading galaxy, beheading the powerful demon. Blood splattered as its massive head plummeted from the sky!

With a furious cry, the ferocious bird's spirit surged up, glaring fiercely at Wang Xuan, attempting to flee.

Sizzle!

The Primordial Spirit Chain flew out and locked it directly. Wang Xuan coldly pulled it back, and with a slight tremor, strangled it instantly.

After he broke through to the Herb Gathering Realm, his strength increased significantly, while the others were once again affected by the aftershocks of the extraordinary realm and their strength was damaged. It can be said that one's strength increased while the other's decreased.

Qian An is dead, and he's going to take action against demons!

"You've joined forces with Zhou Chong's faction, originally intending to deal with me. Now you've even killed Old Qian. In this era, you're still dreaming of demons ruling the land. It's time to wake you up!"

Wang Xuan stood in mid-air, gazing at the distant mountains, and he was ready to unleash a massacre!

"In ancient times, when demons were powerful, nine out of ten houses were empty, and the land was covered in blood. Today, I'll settle old scores with you. Some of you probably survived from that era!"
