Murderer? Adou?!

Seeing that you were about to run away, Jin Hai finally couldn't sit still any longer.

With a single twist of his hand, he closed the opening the Sword Master had created.

"None of you are getting away today!"

[You said to Jin Hai sarcastically.]

["Old ghost Jin Hai, is the blow my Monkey Brother gave you still not healed? How come you're Immortal King and still in a wheelchair?"]

[Ji Wuqing and her friends were very supportive; despite the perilous situation, they deliberately laughed out loud to mock Jin Hai.]

[Jin Hai broke through the defenses and instantly turned red-hot.]

"Shut up! You sharp-tongued Human Race brat! I'll see if your life is as tough as your mouth!"

[Strands of trembling, jagged Interpersonal Silk Thread spread from Ji Wuqing and the others' bodies.]

[No matter what methods they used, they couldn't get rid of it.]

[It's only you who doesn't have it.]

You realize someone is protecting you, but you hope that person doesn't show themselves.

[Ji Baiming sighed.]

"We've fallen into his domain; even if we could find a way to break free from his Principle, we'd still be overwhelmed by him."

[The Jin Hai's Killing Threads have begun to devour you.]

[Besides this Celestial Immortal King, there are thousands more besieging him.]

[The Cultivator who came with Ji Wuqing are falling one after another.]

[You use the <Quantum Ghost Steps> to appear around many people simultaneously, attempting to sever the threads binding them, but to no avail.]

[Just then, another aura of power unique to the Immortal King appeared!]

"Jin Hai, it's been so many years! You've already reached the Domain Mastery Realm! Congratulations!"

[In the distance, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in red robes resembling those of a Song Dynasty official, walks towards you, his feet treading on the void.]

With each step he took, radiant lotus flowers appeared beneath his feet, and each step traversed an immense distance, as if Earth-Shrinking Step!

Upon hearing this voice, Jin Hai's movements visibly stiffened.

The Killing Threads binding Ji Wuqing and the others had become weaker.

He turned incredulously to look at the old man in red, his voice trembling slightly.

"King Zhou! You... are you still alive?"

[The old man, referred to as King Zhou, stroked his beard and smiled.]

"They're still alive and well. Today I want to take these younger generations with me as I depart. I hope you can grant this old man some face."

[As they spoke, King Zhou had already appeared above Haosong City.]

[With a wave of his sleeve, the cages in the city and the threads binding Ji Wuqing and the others all vanished.]

[As you've sensed, the person who has been consistently empowering you with the power of the Principle, preventing you from Interpersonal Index within the Jin Hai, is none other than King Zhou.]

Jin Hai was clearly afraid of King Zhou.

The differences between each rank of Immortal Lord are enormous, not to mention Immortal King.

[A renowned Immortal King and a newly minted recruit are incomparable in strength.]

Jin Hai swallowed hard.

"King Zhou, even if it's you... I can't let you take them away. They're all serious criminals! If you use force, you're going against the Peace Bureau and the Holy Dragon Society!"

King Zhou smiled.

"What are you saying? I certainly made mistakes when I was young, and I'm still alive and well, aren't I?"

"Aren't you afraid of the Heavenly Dragon Emperor?!"

[The Heavenly Dragon Emperor, the chief leader of the Holy Dragon Race Clan, Holy Dragon Society President, honorary leader of the All-Race Alliance, and the only Immortal Emperor in the Tianhe Star System.]

[King Zhou clicked his tongue in disapproval.]

["How many times have I told you, your subordinates, why don't you ever remind Nukang? In this universe, only the Heavenly Emperor is worthy of the title of Emperor. His overstepping of the title will bring him karmic consequences, and he will likely come to a bad end."]

Jin Hai was speechless after being rebuked, unsure of what to say.

With the two Immortal King hovering overhead, the battle within the city was no longer meaningful.

Both sides have stopped fighting.

[Ji Wuqing wiped the enemy's blood off his body and said happily.]

"Grandpa Zhou, didn't you say you wouldn't show your face?"

King Zhou smiled and shook his head.

"Little girl, can you handle this without me showing my face?"

"Hmph, if I were the Immortal King, I could handle this!"

"The problem is you are not."

[You glanced at Li Lingyue; she noticed your gaze and politely returned your smile.]

[You two won't have much interaction in this life, so we can only maintain a polite distance.]

"Li Lingyue, after we leave here, I have many questions I want to ask you."

Li Lingyue glanced at Adou.

"It's about him, isn't it?"

["Yes, and also when we were in the Human World..."]

["Puff!!"]

[A scarlet claw emerges from your chest.]

[Li Lingyue, the Sword Master, Ji Wuqing, Ji Baiming, King Zhou, and everyone else present stared at you and Adou behind you in disbelief.]

[Although Adou still had the same face, one of his hands had transformed into a claw covered in scales, and his expression was extremely ferocious.]

"You're not Adou)..."

You listened to Adou's true feelings.

[The place was empty; it was as if no one there ever existed.]

[Adou forcefully pulled his hand back.]

[You cannot heal because a force is wreaking havoc within you, and your self-healing cannot keep up with the rate at which your body is being destroyed.]

This is... the power of the Immortal King!

[Li Lingyue, stunned, supported your limp body, her lips trembling as she looked at the horrific wounds on your body.]

["Chen Yi, you...I, I don't know, he..."]

"It's not your fault... You were used by him too... It's okay... It's all the same..."

[Adou licked the blood off his hands and sneered.]

"Li Lingyue, thanks to you for guiding me all these years, you've helped me destroy many of the Kindling Society's strongholds. Thank you so much."

[Jin Hai, who had been terrified just moments before, now wore an arrogant expression.]

"The big fish, King Zhou, has taken the bait; it's time for us to reel it in!"

[You heard Ji Wuqing crying, and the sound of her staggering footsteps as she ran towards you.]

[You heard the angry roars of the Sword Master, Ji Baiming, and others, and the sounds of them fighting the enemy.]

Everything before your eyes is turning black, until all returns to silence and nothingness.

[Beneath that boundless, vast starry sky, amidst the veil of starlight, you fell.]

You are dead.

"I never expected it to turn out like this..."

Chen Yi believed that Adou would not betray him, so the fact that he ultimately killed his own Adou must mean that the A Dou had been switched.

When was the data swapped?

How was the data swapped?

It can only be solved in the next simulation.

The fact that this fake Adou) was able to succeed also had an element of luck.

If anyone tries to assassinate Chen Yi, his "Signal Light" Divine Art will give a warning.

But in the final scene of the simulation, they were trapped in Haosong City, surrounded by enemies, and the red vision never disappeared.

At this point, it's difficult to determine which factor caused the change in the red field of vision, whether there's an additional or missing patch.

"And Afterlife Affairs? Let's see what happens next."
