He Took Action Again

"Cough cough!"

"The old man didn't die unjustly."

"To die at the hands of such a being is his good fortune."

Within the Grand Void, surging blood energy emerged, and drops of blood swirled and congealed in the void.

In a short while, the Old Fiend in Red Robes reappeared in the Grand Void.

However, an unnatural flush appeared on his face, and a faint glimmer of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Clearly, he escaped with his life even amidst the sword light emitted from that Willow Leaf.

The price paid was also considerable.

'What a pity for this Death Substitute Puppet.'

'This was something I obtained from the Great Freedom Heavenly Son.'

'The price paid was considerable.'

The Old Fiend in Red Robes twitched slightly at the corner of his mouth, a dull ache in his heart.

In exchange for this Death Substitute Puppet, he served as a beast of burden for the Great Freedom Heavenly Son for several eons.

But the next moment, the old demon laughed.

'But compared to what was gained from this trip.'

'It was all worth it.'

A crimson glint flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at Hundred Flowers Valley.

His master, a powerful Dao Lord level expert in the Devil Dao, perished in this very area.

'And after the old man died.'

'The sword light has flickered here ceaselessly for a full ten thousand years.'

This clearly shows that the old man died at the hands of a sword-wielding Dao Lord.

However, according to calculations made by important figures in the palace.

That one won.

But he doesn't seem to be in good shape either.

'I waited for more than ten cycles.'

Millions of years.

'The day has finally come.'

The Old Fiend in Red Robes was absolutely certain.

That being must be in extremely poor condition.

It might even have simply Nirvana Gui Xu.

Otherwise, he would have already made his move when he attacked Hundred Flowers Valley.

'This is a Dao Lord!'

'If we could obtain his remains...'

'Seize his treasures.'

'Then there is hope for Dao Lord.'

'The Great Dao is within reach.'

The thought filled the Old Fiend in Red Robes's eyes with fanaticism.

His body trembled with excitement.

In the Devil Dao, strength reigns supreme.

The cruelty involved far surpasses that of any other Dao lineage in the Primordial World.

An existence that has not yet attained the Great Luo Dao Lord status.

For the old masters of the Demonic Sect, they were all consumables.

Only those who attain the Great Luo are qualified to establish their own sect within the Western Demonic Cult and become the founder of a new path.

To become an entity capable of sharing in the fortune of the Western Demonic Cult.

'Therefore, this Dao Lord's legacy is how I escaped my fate of being a consumable resource.'

'An opportunity to escape endless cause and effect.'

Thinking about this...

A towering wave of blood suddenly surged behind the Old Fiend in Red Robes, obscuring the entire universe.

He looked at the old woman not far away and said sternly:

"Quickly tell the ancestor."

"Where exactly is that being?"

"If you tell the truth, the Ancestor may spare the lives of everyone in Hundred Flowers Valley."

"But if anyone dares to conceal even the slightest thing..."

"Today, I will make your Hundred Flowers Valley vanish completely from the Primordial World."

Blood surged to the heavens, and malevolent energy rolled across the Yunxiao.

A murderous intent had already locked onto every living being in and around Hundred Flowers Valley.

If Granny Huai hesitated even slightly.

This old demon will then strike without hesitation.

Then proceed with the extraction and refinement of the soul.

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the void.

Granny Huai looked around, a hint of guilt in her eyes.

"The being you speak of has long since departed."

"It's not in Hundred Flowers Valley."

"We have nothing to say to a demon like you."

"Okay, okay."

Upon hearing this, the Old Fiend in Red Robes was so angry that he laughed instead.

"It seems you won't shed a tear until you see the coffin."

"Today I will let you all experience the power of your ancestor."

The demon's eyes were bloodshot, and his gaze was filled with murderous intent.

With a flick of his sleeve, a blood-red gourd spun rapidly.

Then a blood-red divine light, capable of stealing souls and captivating spirits, pierced through the Grand Void and rushed straight towards Granny Huai.

"If you refuse a toast, you'll have to drink a forfeit."

"I, your ancestor, would like to see if you can still be as tough as you are now amidst this Soul-Chasing Divine Light."

The Old Fiend in Red Robes cackled wickedly.

His expression was utterly indifferent.

The methods of Devil Dao cultivation are unpredictable.

This Soul-Chasing Divine Light is a method specifically designed to suppress the souls of living beings.

Once illuminated by this divine light, no matter if you are the Grand Unity Great Sage or a true god or demon, you will inevitably become a puppet and lose your will.

"No!"

It was clear that Granny Huai was about to be struck by the Soul-Chasing Divine Light.

The many plant and tree spirits in Hundred Flowers Valley all changed color.

And just then...

Suddenly, a Daoist priest in a green robe riding a Divine Beast emerged from the Grand Void.

The Daoist priest had just appeared.

This realm was instantly filled with boundless energy.

In an instant, the terrifying Dao essence froze everything in time.

The entire Grand Void seemed to freeze.

Everything in the universe neither increases nor decreases, seemingly eternal, and no longer changes.

That wisp of Soul-Chasing Divine Light also froze in the void.

Then it vanishes into nothingness.

Zhou Yuan didn't even glance at the Old Fiend in Red Robes.

He nodded slightly to Granny Huai:

"Young friend, it's been a long time."

Granny Huai led all the creatures of Hundred Flowers Valley forward to pay their respects:

"We pay our respects to our senior."

"Thank you so much for saving my life, senior."

Zhou Yuan laughed:

"It was nothing."

The moment Zhou Yuan appeared.

The Old Fiend in Red Robes froze on the spot.

He stared blankly at the scene.

'Great Luo Dao Lord.'

'It was actually a Great Luo Dao Lord personally who intervened.'

He didn't even dare to run away on his own initiative.

The gap between Taiyi and Great Luo is too great.

This disparity filled him with despair and terror.

"I will deal with this demon once I have done so."

"May I ask my young friend for another cup of tea?"

Zhou Yuan smiled slightly.

He only turned his head to glance at the Old Fiend in Red Robes.

This cultivator, at the level of a Great Grand Unity Great Sage, transformed from head to toe, from bones to blood, into a pale blue, shimmering liquid.

"Spare me..."

He couldn't even manage a complete cry for mercy.

This being was seen by everyone in Hundred Flowers Valley as incredibly powerful and irresistible.

The old demon, who filled them with despair and fear, instantly transformed into a cloud of water vapor.

It vanished completely.

'This...'

Granny Huai bowed her head deeply.

Suppressing the shock in my heart.

What immense power this is!

The other Plant Spirits were already stunned.

What exactly is the background of this senior?

Even the Heavenly Emperor Di Jun, who reigns Grand Void over the vast universe, is no more than this.

Zhou Yuan gazed at the Grand Void with a nonchalant expression.

Cause and effect are intertwined in my hands.

It acquired strands of information.

'Turns out, I was just a pawn after all.'

He looked westward, a strange look flashing in his eyes.
