"Since Xie Fang came this time to catch up with Shi Qilin, I won't keep you two any longer."
Seeing him flee, Xie Fang didn't say a word. He waited until the other man had completely disappeared from sight, then reached out and grabbed him by the scruff of the neck. Over the past year, he had become extremely adept at using the Law of Space.
"Still trying to run?"
The next second, Xie Fang summoned Samadhi True Fire and set his clothes ablaze. Ancestral Dragon let out a furious roar, and even the clouds in the sky changed shape.
Ancestral Dragon then transformed into his true form. Hearing his agonized cries, Shi Qilin froze.
He watched as the golden figure shot into the clouds, never to be seen again.
But Xie Fang knew full well that Samadhi True Fire couldn't be extinguished unless Ancestral Dragon went to Yuanfeng and she agreed to help him. But if he did that, it would be tantamount to Yuanfeng taking Xie Fang's side as her enemy.
"I'm sure you can see that I came here for revenge. What do you think of what I just proposed?"
Shi Qilin nodded repeatedly in agreement. How could he dare say anything else? He might be one of the leaders of the three clans, but after seeing what had happened to the Dragon Clan, he wasn't foolish enough to insist on going head-to-head with Xie Fang.
Since Xie Fang had already given him a way out, he naturally did everything he could to curry favor with him.
To his surprise, Xie Fang dragged Mo Wu over the next second, pointed casually at someone, and then raised an eyebrow at Shi Qilin. Mo Wu nodded.
"This is the person who offended my mount earlier. Would you be willing to do me a favor?"
Shi Qilin wiped the sweat from his forehead and took a few steps forward. The Qilin were already the smallest of the three clans, and he couldn't afford to do anything that might make things worse.
"I understand what you mean, but he is still a member of my clan. I can't bring myself to lay a hand on him. How about we each take a step back? I'll exile him. What do you think?"
Xie Fang nodded, then pointed in a direction.
"If he's going to be exiled anyway, let me choose where. I think Luohu's place would be perfect."
At those words, the child who had just been dragged out turned deathly pale. Shi Qilin wanted to plead on his behalf, but there were so many others who needed saving. He could save one, but not an entire group.
"Don't worry. He'll leave tonight."
Satisfied with that answer, Xie Fang nodded, climbed onto Mo Wu's back, and went after Ancestral Dragon.
After Xie Fang left, Shi Qilin busied himself giving orders and making sure the people around him were taken care of.
Meanwhile, Yuanfeng stayed by the window, unsure what to think.
But Xie Fang's ability to tear through the void had grown much stronger than before. In just a few moves, he caught up with Ancestral Dragon, who was fleeing in every direction.
Seeing the fear in his eyes and the wounds covering his body gave Xie Fang a sense of satisfaction. He had always thought Ancestral Dragon was a bad person.
He hadn't expected that, at the last moment, Ancestral Dragon would still try to sow discord. Luckily, Xie Fang had prepared thoroughly. Otherwise, wouldn't he have been tricked by that lot?
"Is there anything you want me to tell them?"
Ancestral Dragon didn't answer. His face was filled with pain and fear. Seeing that he couldn't even speak, Xie Fang shrugged and snapped his fingers. Ancestral Dragon vanished before his eyes.
Yuanfeng saw a star fall from the sky. She could only shake her head and sigh; she said nothing more.
Now that Ancestral Dragon had perished, someone would have to manage his subordinates.
Without delay, Yuanfeng found an opportunity to visit Shi Qilin. He hadn't yet figured out what was going on, so for now, he let her say whatever she wanted.
Xie Fang took the opportunity to slip over to Luohu's side. He had his eye on Huang Ni's World-Destroying Millstone, but ever since Huang Ni died, it had vanished without a trace. He figured Luohu had taken it.
He rubbed his chin and surveyed the area. It wouldn't be easy to take care of all these things at once.
He still hadn't gotten the treasure from Buzhou Mountain. He wondered when Shi Qilin would bring it to him.
Just as he thought of it—and before he could even remind Shi Qilin—someone appeared at the door. When Xie Fang saw that it was someone he knew, he smiled at him.
The other person handed over what he was holding. Xie Fang took it and studied the pattern carefully.
It was actually a treasure map, connected to the Yin-Yang Diagram that had been on Yin-Yang Ancestor earlier. Otherwise, Xie Fang wouldn't have chased him so far.
"This is the Wuji Apricot Yellow Banner from before. Since you agreed to work with me, I'll keep my word."
Shi Qilin accepted the banner, still looking somewhat incredulous. It might have been useless to Xie Fang, but to him, it could gather the essence of heaven and earth and greatly enhance his cultivation.
He had also heard one of the younger members of his clan mention what had happened with Ancestral Dragon. It seemed Ancestral Dragon had no chance of surviving this time. He had only himself to blame for being so careless and failing to prepare for so many things.
But now only he and Yuanfeng remained. They certainly wouldn't neglect the necessary preparations, so the next day he went straight to visit her.
"Most of the Dragon Clan's descendants are nearly extinct. How about we leave some of them a territory of their own, and the two of us take charge of the rest?"
Yuanfeng didn't have much to say about it. After obtaining the other half of the Yin-Yang Diagram, Xie Fang headed straight for the border between the Demon Realm and the Divine Realm. As long as he could find those things there, everything that followed would be easy.
Just as he entered, Shi Qilin, Yuanfeng, and the others came under attack. No one knew where those people had come from.
After ten thousand years of training...
When Xie Fang came out again, the mountains outside had disappeared. He thought he had gone to the wrong place, but it turned out Shi Qilin had made some changes. Of all the things that had stood out before, those people had been the most conspicuous.
But this time, Xie Fang hadn't received any news about Yuanfeng. Had they all disappeared?
It was as if they had vanished into thin air. Only after carefully investigating the area did he realize that he had been sealed out of it.
"What is this?"
Xie Fang reached out to touch the barrier before him. It immediately bounced him back, which only made him more interested.
He had thought this border was a place where he could absorb a great deal of energy. Who would have guessed that, after all these years, it would keep him from leaving?
Something had to be wrong. As Xie Fang walked around the place, he noticed something unexpected.
