"Zheng Yuantian was blown up, and his death was rather undignified." The Nether Blood Sect Ancestor, who had been lying low, stepped out, shook his head, and then clicked his tongue.

"He died just like that. Old Zheng's death wasn't exactly honorable," Zhang Daoling said, a strange look on his face as he looked at Wang Xuan, deeply surprised. This kid actually managed to kill Zheng Yuantian; he's not simple, and he was a bit ruthless.

The surrounding area was in complete chaos, with even two top experts whispering among themselves, which shows how shocked everyone else was.

Zheng Jueshi's incarnation was killed, and it was Wang Xuan from the mortal realm who caused it!

Now, even Qi Liandao, that madman, isn't mad anymore. He's become honest, dutiful, quiet as a fallen leaf, and quite melancholy. He doesn't want to get involved with "Madman Wang" anytime soon, for fear of being stabbed to death by him.

Mo Si frowned, his eyes flickering as he stared at Wang Xuan's back with suspicion. Was it the brief resurrection of that senior who had practiced the Primordial Spirit Coffin Great Method that was orchestrating all of this?

"This guy is too fierce. Stay away from him in the future. He'll chop Zheng Jueshi to pieces!" Zhou Qinghuang patted her towering chest, looking like her heart was beating fast.

Then, she tossed her hair, leaned close to Gu Mingxi's ear, and said, "Last time, you were incredibly lucky. That fierce man Wang was actually quite gentle with you."

"Shut up!" Gu Mingxi was indeed very scared, but all the frustration and lingering resentment in her heart disappeared after witnessing the battle just now.

The extraordinary era is coming to an end, and myths are destined to perish. In this special era, in the barren Real World, the emergence of such a young man has indeed surprised all parties and attracted their attention.

Wang Xuan remained calm. He was used to such big scenes; it was just killing Old Zheng, not his real body. It was no big deal.

He reminded himself to take it in stride.

However, he quickly lost his composure. This was Zheng Yuantian, a peerless expert who could kill him at any time once he returned to the Real World, and he had just killed him!

"Hehe..." He couldn't help but smile, his face relaxed. He was in a very good mood after getting rid of the big problem.

In particular, he held a handful of blue Good Fortune True Crystal in his hand, and the rich, almost real super energy flowed slowly, nourishing his primordial spirit. It felt so good.

Unable to pass through the meteorite passage in the Misty Land for the time being, he actually found a brand new substance in the mortal world that would also be of great benefit to him, and could probably help him break through the barrier, reach a higher level, and become stronger.

Killing the enemy, eliminating the biggest threat, and being able to improve himself with "enemy resources" made it impossible for him not to be happy.

"Ancestor Wang, be more composed," Chen Yongjie said, subtly reminding him not to grin like an idiot, as it would damage his dignified image after just defeating the enemy.

"It's too uncomfortable to keep it up. My heart is just this sunny. There's no way around it. When you're young, you should be able to show your true colors. It's too tiring to pretend to be mature." Wang Xuan didn't seem to care.

At this moment, the great battle in the distance ceased. The Red-clothed Demon Immortal, her long dress fluttering, stood high in the Spirit World, separating from the three masters.

In fact, Zheng Yuantian's death surprised the Demon Ancestor, Qi Teng, and the Demon Ancestor, leaving them speechless. Old Zheng... actually died. They were caught off guard and ended up in a mess.

They could imagine that behind the Great Curtain, Zheng Yuantian's true self must be furious. This was an utter disgrace; to die at the hands of a young man was a huge blow to his dignity.

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal looked at him again and again, her beautiful eyes sparkling. She was about to come closer when Wang Xuan's smile froze. He was on high alert and quickly became alert.

Fang Yuzhu walked on the rain of light, approached her, and whispered a few words to her, diverting the attention of the Red-clothed Demon Immortal.

Wang Xuan quickly approached Zhang Daoling and met up with Chen Yongjie. Then, he glanced at the red-clad figure in the distance.

He secretly transmitted his voice, saying, "Ancestor Zhang, are you busy with work?"

He really wanted to ask Old Zhang, "You've been exorcising demons for over two thousand years, but there's a Great Demoness over there who reigns supreme and is about to unify the demon race."

He thought to himself, "Is Old Zhang judging people who come to exorcise demons?"

Zhang Daoling glanced at him and said, "Stop worrying about me. You should mind your own business. Don't think that just because you killed one of Zheng Yuantian's avatars, you can really deal with a powerhouse of this level. You're far from it. That's because he was crippled by Fang Yuzhu first."

Wang Xuan ignored him and asked about his demon-slaying business, trying to change the subject.

"Let me tell you, Zheng Yuantian won't let this go. He might even send an avatar to the mortal world to deal with you," Zhang Daoling warned.

"If he dies with one avatar, is his true body unharmed? And can he still split into multiple avatars at any time?" Wang Xuan frowned. Without engaging in battle in the Mental World, he really couldn't deal with Zheng Jueshi.

"He will naturally suffer losses, but doesn't Old Zheng have any pride? Besides, if he thinks that capturing or killing you would be more profitable, he wouldn't care about anything else," Zhang Daoling said calmly.

Wang Xuan felt that there was something more to this. Old Zhang would randomly look at himself in that broken bronze mirror all the time. Could he have discovered some secret of his?

"Ancestor Zhang, if you don't have much business, do you take on more jobs?" Wang Xuan asked him.

"What do you want to do? I don't have time to exorcise demons lately!" Old Zhang said, decisively refusing.

He suspected that Wang Xuan was making him fight the Female Demon Immortal—what a joke! How could Ancestor Zhang be so easily manipulated? If the reward for fighting the demon ancestor was substantial enough, well, perhaps he could consider it!

In the distance, Demon Ancestor Qi Yi sensed something and glanced in Zhang Daoling's direction, feeling a strong sense of malice in the darkness.

"Ancestor Zhang, what are you thinking? I have a very good relationship with the demon race, we're all one family!" Wang Xuan said, glancing at the Demon Ancestor with a smile, before looking at the Red-clothed Demon Immortal and nodding peacefully.

As a result, the Demon Ancestor bared his teeth and flashed with cold light in the black mist.

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal responded with a charming smile, gracefully smoothing her hair, and glancing at him sideways with her beautiful eyes.

Wang Xuan quickly turned around and faced Old Zhang again, saying, "Do you accept the job of killing Zheng Yuantian? It is the responsibility of all sect leaders to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path! Of course, for the sake of the world and for the sake of righteousness, I am willing to give the Good Fortune True Crystal to support Ancestor Zhang on his journey!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Daoling nodded reservedly and said, "Yes, that's fine. Give me all those crystals. If Old Zheng shows up, I'll discuss with him and send him back."

Then, he reached out to take Wang Xuan's large handful of blue pebbles.

"It's not about killing the avatar, nor is it about sending him back and that's it. I want to ask Ancestor Zhang to kill Zheng Yuantian body," Wang Xuan said.

Old Zhang's reserved smile froze instantly. He flicked his sleeve, decisively withdrawing his hand, and said, "What are you thinking? Do you think Ancestor Zhang is so cheap? To kill a peerless master's true form for a few broken stones? Unless I'm Mental Illness!"

Wang Xuan silently took out the diagnosis report that Old Zhang had given him and waved it around.

"I... I'll beat you to death!" Old Zhang's face immediately turned black.

Brush!

The paper in Wang Xuan's hand disappeared. Old Zhang was a step too late and was taken away by the Red-clothed Demon Immortal in the distance with a rain of light. The paper traversed space and teleported!

"Demon Lord, what do you mean?" Zhang Daoling asked with a dark face. Was this dark history going to be leaked again?

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal glanced at the diagnosis report, looked disgusted, and threw it back at him. Her expression almost made Old Zhang vomit blood. Was she doing it on purpose?

"Then forget it. It's no fun if we don't kill the real body." Wang Xuan put away the crystal stone, turning the immense pressure into motivation, ready to face Zheng Jueshi's revenge at any time!

The chaotic battle ended, and all sides retreated. Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie ran away immediately, and as soon as they ran, everyone else followed suit.

What's going on? Old Chen was a little confused. Why did a whole group of people chase after him? Could it be that Ancestor Wang really angered the heavens and the people, and everyone wanted to kill him?

In fact, Wang Xuan was also uneasy because the Demon Ancestor, Qi Teng, and the big-eyed Demon Ancestor had all come along, and something was very wrong.

Even Old Zhang, looking hostile, came running towards us, clutching a rusty, broken mirror!

Then he saw the Female Daoist practitioner and the Red-clothed Demon Immortal following along at a leisurely pace, traversing the void. They were truly two Fairy of Lingbo, a pair of sisters, with unparalleled beauty.

As for the other extraordinary individuals such as Mo Si, Gu Mingxi, and Zhou Qinghuang, they also rushed over at breakneck speed.

"Everyone, seniors, I haven't done anything to wrong you, have I?" Wang Xuan felt extremely guilty. Being chased by everyone was unbearable, even for someone as carefree as him, and he felt intensely uneasy.

"You're leaving soon. If we don't leave, and you block the exit and bombard us with warships, who can stand it?" Zhang Daoling said.

Wang Xuan was speechless, and only then did he understand what was going on!

"Am I that kind of person? Would I do such a thing?" he protested, feeling utterly wronged.

A group of people despised him, and many even glared at him with murderous intent. This is exactly what you did when you first entered this space!

"Trust between people..." Wang Xuan couldn't continue. What else could he say? Everyone had come along, but no one believed him.

The main reason is that before entering this strange space, Qing Mu's actions were so fierce that they intimidated many people, resulting in some fairies losing limbs and some Demon Cultivator suffering physical deformities.

Soon after, most people chose to leave the alien world and appear in outer space.

Moreover, when Qing Mu finally came to pick up Wang Xuan and Chen Yongjie, his warship was filled with a group of important figures, all of whom were renowned and unparalleled masters.

For example, Zhang Daoling, the Demon Ancestor, Qi Teng... apart from Zheng Yuantian, who was no longer alive, all the other important figures sat next to Wang Xuan, sharing a boat to return home.

When Qing Mu found out who it was, his scalp tingled. This was a lingering effect of the last firing; even several important figures were afraid of something going wrong and were unwilling to board other ships.

Wang Xuan's body stiffened. To his left sat the Red-clothed Demon Immortal, right next to him, her fragrance wafting through the air. She then leaned closer and began to talk to him.

"Those things from the past are like sand slipping through my fingers, trivial matters, nothing to worry about," she whispered in his ear, her breath sweet as orchids.

Wang Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. How could it be that what happened in the meteorite passage had actually come true? The similarities were striking, especially at such a close distance.

Old Chen remained motionless, his nose closed to his mouth and his mouth closed to his heart. He couldn't help Ancestor Wang at all, and he himself was also very uncomfortable. The Demon Ancestor was sitting next to him, very interested in him.

"Little monk, you've practiced the Shakya True Scripture, do you want to subdue demons and monsters in the future?" The Demon Ancestor asked him, grinning with his full set of snow-white teeth.

The Demon Ancestor, with his thick eyebrows and large eyes, also came over, looked at Chen Yongjie, patted his head, and said, "You have no future like this."

If anyone else dared to touch his head like that, Chen Yongjie would immediately swing his great Black Sword and chop off their claws, but this was the Demon Ancestor, so he decided to pass.

Finally, the warship landed at the spaceship base outside Ancheng, and the bigwigs got up and prepared to disperse.

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal stretched her supple waist languidly, and before getting up, she leaned closer to Wang Xuan and whispered, "The moon will be full soon, so don't close the door at night. Wait for me."

Wang Xuan was in a bind and really wanted to ask, "What are you planning to do?"

"Haven't you been longing to see me perform the fairy dance? You even extorted a crystal from the Little White Tiger to capture my image. I'll come find you on the night of the full moon."

Wang Xuan sat there without moving, his head throbbing. That ungrateful round-faced white tiger had betrayed him so quickly!

The Red-clothed Demon Immortal walked away with light, graceful steps, like a red cloud drifting into the distance.

"Ancestor Zhang, now that we're in Ancheng, this is my territory. I'd like to invite you to be my guest," Wang Xuan quickly transmitted his voice secretly.

Old Zhang scoffed, secretly replying, "Looking for free thugs? No way!"

He left without a word, making Wang Xuan secretly curse him for being disloyal!

"Fairy Fang, Ancheng is my home. Shall I show you around?" Wang Xuan invited Fang Yuzhu.

"Okay," Fang Yuzhu surprisingly nodded with a smile.

This delighted Wang Xuan, who was surprised to find that the most skilled Daoist Master, the renowned Fairy Fang, had agreed to stay!

In the evening, Chen Yongjie simply fled. He couldn't stand it anymore. What kind of people was Ancestor Wang associating with these days? Peerless masters! He'd better avoid them.

After learning Fang Yuzhu's identity, Qing Mu treated her with the utmost reverence, as if she were a deity like the Goddess of the Moon. Old Chen told him that, let alone the Goddess of the Moon, even a hermit might not be able to defeat her.

Then, Qing Mu felt weak. After arranging a separate courtyard and serving various foods, he ran off. He couldn't help it; although Fang Yuzhu possessed Divine Halo and her every smile and gesture was gentle, she still put him under considerable pressure.

Wang Xuan wasn't bothered. Such a peerless beauty, dignified and elegant, wasn't she pleasing to the eye? What was there to run away from?

Then, he was shocked. In the evening, Fang Yuzhu actually wanted to try cooking herself, which he could hardly believe.

"What's the big deal? Who didn't come from the mortal world?" Fang Yuzhu was surprised, then sighed softly, "In the future, myths will be completely gone, the extraordinary will cease to exist, everything will return to the ordinary, and ordinary life in the mortal world will become the norm. Now, let's get used to it and find that feeling from back then."

She Clear and Transcendent, radiant with light, and actually started cooking, searching for old memories and reliving the experiences of her Mortal Period.
