Three Immortals Dao Territory—Escape

"Since it is Heart Gun Devil's invitation, we would be rude to refuse." Wind God nodded with a smile.

At this moment, Luo Feng also sent a voice transmission to Wind God, asking him to release Hong from the Palace Supreme Treasure.

As Heart Gun Devil's junior brother, Hong should naturally join them as well.

With a thought from Wind God, Hong was immediately summoned out. When Hong appeared outside and saw Heart Gun Devil, he respectfully said, "Greetings, Senior Brother."

Heart Gun Devil smiled and nodded. He genuinely liked both Luo Feng and Hong. As for Hong, he had completed the Lian Xin Road and was now his junior brother. Moreover, he had emerged from one of the Lian Xin Towers Heart Gun Devil had left behind, making him essentially part of Heart Gun Devil's lineage. Naturally, he liked him.

Completing the Lian Xin Road while still in the God Heaven Realm meant immense potential. He was fully capable of seizing the Dao.

As for Luo Feng, they had both fallen to demonhood, and Heart Gun Devil felt a sense of mutual appreciation. Beyond that, Luo Feng was also a rare Emperor Blade cultivator. If an Emperor Blade cultivator could control the Demon Blade, his strength might become the greatest in history. He might even succeed in seizing the Dao because of it.

When the time came, the birth of a second Great God Heaven of the Emperor Way would surely be enough to alter the balance of Primordial Chaos Space.

"Let's go."

Wrapped in Heart Gun Devil's power, the group immediately flew toward Crimson Capital.

They chose an upscale restaurant, sampling fine wine and enjoying some of Crimson Capital's high-end delicacies.

During this time, news of what had happened outside Crimson Capital swept through the entire Dao Territory at a terrifying speed. Heart Gun Devil had saved Lord of Fire Devourment and the others. Although he had not explicitly said that he intended to befriend Wind God and Lord of Fire Devourment, his actions alone showed his recognition of them.

This also meant that anyone wishing to attack these people for treasures in the future would have to take Heart Gun Devil into consideration.

In particular, certain figures in the second or even first tier had to consider the threat posed by Heart Gun Devil.

Although only Taihun Island Master had acted so far, that did not mean the others had no such thoughts. It could only be said that after this incident, they might no longer dare to entertain them.

With Heart Gun Devil's deterrence, Wind God, Lord of Fire Devourment, and the others had already built up great momentum. Before long, even those who still had designs on them might not be able to do anything to them.

Dao Territory, Crimson Bright City.

Crimson Bright Tian Lin returned to the City Lord Manor. Accompanying him was his friend, Overlord Cudgel.

Crimson Bright Tian Lin's expression was exceptionally grim.

"This time, the trouble is huge." Crimson Bright Tian Lin spoke in a low voice. He could even sense an enormous crisis approaching.

During this period, he had also noticed something unusual. The surviving remnant of the Qi Family, Qi Zheng, had returned. More importantly, there were Karma threads connected to the Emperor Blade, as well as that Great God Heaven called Wind God.

This meant that Qi Zheng was highly connected to Wind God's group, who were currently the talk of the Dao Territory. Just thinking about it made him realize how terrifying the situation was... The Crimson Bright Family had never provoked the Emperor Blade, yet everything the Emperor Blade had done—first suppressing and killing Crimson Bright White Bank, then destroying their stronghold in Battle Sky Land—all of it seemed to point toward the Qi Family.

Combined with the information he had obtained, the matter was confirmed.

The Qi Family's vengeance was coming back.

He had never expected that letting a core remnant escape back then would put him in such a situation today.

"What do you mean? You think they will come after us for further revenge?" Overlord Cudgel looked at Crimson Bright Tian Lin.

"That is entirely possible. Why else would the Emperor Blade destroy our Battle Sky Land stronghold for no reason?" Crimson Bright Tian Lin sighed faintly and looked at Overlord Cudgel. "There is something I need to trouble you with next, brother. I will be leaving the Dao Territory, and I would like you to preserve some of the Crimson Bright Family's bloodline."

Overlord Cudgel narrowed his eyes.

Hearing Crimson Bright Tian Lin's reminder, he seemed to think of something as well. "You mean the Emperor Blade is very likely connected to the remnants Qi Haiwang left behind?"

"That's right. Another old friend of mine sensed some related Karma and told me about it. Because of this, I need to go outside and lie low for a while. Primordial Chaos Space is vast. It will not be easy for them to find me. As long as I remain alive, my strength can continue to improve. Only by becoming stronger can I possibly keep living," Crimson Bright Tian Lin said.

In his estimation, there should only be a few people in Primordial Chaos Space related to the Qi Family.

But now, they had joined forces with Lord of Fire Devourment, Ice God, and others. This was equivalent to the Qi Family remnants receiving the aid of Great God Heavens from the Dao Territory. If he wanted to continue living, merely surviving this Annihilation Epoch would not be enough. He also needed to increase his strength.

"Simply hiding in Primordial Chaos Space is not a solution. Are you planning to go to the Heaven of Annihilation?" Overlord Cudgel asked again.

The Heaven of Annihilation was rumored to contain all kinds of secrets. For those at the Great God Heaven Realm who wished to improve their strength, the best method was undoubtedly to enter the Heaven of Annihilation, especially its Abyss World. Though it held great dangers, it also contained countless opportunities and treasures. As for those old monsters in the Dao Territory's first tier, unless they relied on Innate Primordial Chaos Spiritual Treasures, the reason they had reached their current level was all related to the Heaven of Annihilation.

"I will probably go there. Though the risks are great, so are the potential gains. I have no other path left." Crimson Bright Tian Lin shook his head.

At present, the entire Crimson Bright Family could be sacrificed.

His own life was far more important than the family's survival.

Once he fell, the Crimson Bright Family would cease to exist anyway. Since that was the case, why should he not leave? Letting the Crimson Bright Family fend for itself might be the only way out. As for certain key bloodlines, he only needed his friend to protect them. As long as they did not expose themselves, they could still survive within the Dao Territory.

Overlord Cudgel nodded. "I can help you. I have no attachments and make my home wherever I go. I can also travel more through the worlds beyond. When the time comes, I will leave some of your clansmen in the Dao Territory, some in Primordial Chaos Space, and some in the other two Dao Territories to preserve your family line."

Back when they had hunted Qi Haiwang, he had contributed as well. If the Qi Family remnants truly came to settle old scores, they might include him in the reckoning.

After Crimson Bright Tian Lin and Overlord Cudgel discussed things briefly, Crimson Bright Tian Lin immediately made his decision.

As for selecting clansmen, he made the arrangements in complete secrecy. He only took away those with little connection to that battle back then. The other God Heaven Realm cultivators, as long as they had too much Karma with the Qi Family, were left behind as scapegoats. The entire process did not alarm the city at all. Crimson Bright City continued to live as it always had, utterly peaceful.

However, Crimson Bright Tian Lin had already quietly left Crimson Bright City and departed from the Three Immortals Dao Territory.

Elsewhere.

In the error-free version, read it one by one!

Within the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, Sword Devil and Heavenly Void Devil looked equally grim. Having just returned to the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, they immediately became agitated and furious.

"That woman Bewitching Heart Demon is definitely a menace. Now that she has strength, she will surely come after us again," Sword Devil said irritably.

Back then, their only son had played Bewitching Heart Demon's daughter to death. Bewitching Heart Demon had then killed their son as well. Later, however, in their rage, they had completely wiped out Bewitching Heart Demon's family, forced her into Battle Sky Land, and pursued her relentlessly. The hatred that had accumulated between them was impossible to resolve.

Putting themselves in her place, if they were Bewitching Heart Demon, they would naturally destroy the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom as well.

"So, we plan to leave the Dao Territory?" Heavenly Void Devil's expression darkened, though they still retained their basic rationality.

Their failed attack this time meant that they might be the ones facing retaliation next.

"There is no other way. We can only leave. This time, we originally could have wiped them out in one stroke. Who would have thought that damned Heart Gun Devil would interfere? Once he intervened, even if Heart Gun Devil does not continue protecting them, we no longer have an opportunity. As long as they are not fools, the next time they show themselves, their strength will already be beyond our ability to shake." Sword Devil felt exhausted as well.

There were not many members of the ancient kingdom who shared blood ties with them. As long as they scattered those people across different places, they should still be able to preserve some of their bloodline.

After a brief discussion, the two immediately took action.

At their level, they did not wish to make more mistakes. What needed to be cut off had to be cut off, and what needed to be abandoned had to be abandoned. As for the entire Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, as long as they took away some core bloodlines, they could let the rest develop naturally.

Besides the Heavenly Demon Ancient Kingdom, the most unwilling to accept this was the Ten Thousand Spirits God Race.

Within the Ten Thousand Spirits God Race, Dai Jinse had completely fallen. Zha Erxi's true body had perished, and his weak avatar had only recovered to the God Heaven Realm Limit. Piao Xian's true body had been suppressed, while her weak avatar did not dare appear and could not grow stronger. The Ten Thousand Spirits God Race only had three Great God Heaven combatants left, having completely lost its former glory.

If their enemies joined forces against them, that alone would be enough to make them suffer.

Someone like Undying Star Demon was immensely powerful, no weaker than any of the few they had left.

"Accept it. Do not provoke those people anymore. We cannot beat them. If this continues, I am afraid our Ten Thousand Spirits God Race will be completely exterminated." Jin Nado was extremely unwilling.

They had once been connected to the Dao Territory's ruling powers, yet they had fallen to this point. They had never imagined it.

"Accept it, accept it. In the time ahead, I will do everything I can to help Old Five recover, striving to restore him to the state of his true body." Fei Qisi spoke. He followed the Way of Life and was naturally the most skilled at restoration.

"As for Old Six, we must also find a way to let him sense his true body. It would be best if his true body could self-destruct. Otherwise, he cannot restore himself. In the future, once they gain Karma methods, Old Six will be in danger through the influence of Karma," Fei Qisi added.

Jin Nado nodded. "I will find a way. I have also informed Old Two that he no longer needs to remain in Purple Heart City. The deeper we get involved in this matter, the greater the harm to us will become. Cutting our losses in time and preserving our foundation is the correct choice!"

"As for Old Six, we can try again after Old Two returns. Perhaps with Old Two's abilities, he can still make an attempt," Jin Nado added.

There was no choice. While they still had some strength, stabilizing their situation was best. If they continued seeking ways to retaliate, their losses might become even greater. By then, the entire Ten Thousand Spirits God Race could truly face extermination.
