The strange creature was humanoid, ugly, and pitch-black all over. Its body was covered in boils, and the aura emanating from it belonged to an Imperial Light Giant.
At that moment, it was sprawled on the ground, begging for mercy and coughing up blood nonstop. It felt that if things went on like this, it wasn't far from meeting its end.
Ao Kun, King Yu, Di Tian, and the others surrounding it were each stronger than the last. None was an ordinary Imperial Light Giant. Together, they were far beyond anything it could contend with.
Hua Yunfei walked over. "Answer a few questions for me."
The strange creature nodded repeatedly. "Go ahead."
"Did the last Immortal King of the Phoenix Clan die at your hands?" Hua Yunfei asked.
"Uh..."
The strange creature froze for a moment. Its eyes darted about, then it shook its head. "No. By the time I came to the Ghost Fiend Abyss, he had already been dead for many years."

"All right, I killed him."
Seeing that it couldn't hide the truth, the strange creature admitted it reluctantly. Then it said, "Pillaging opportunities is commonplace in the Cultivation World. He was weaker than me. You can't blame me for killing an innocent person, can you?"
Hua Yunfei nodded. "You can't blame someone for killing an innocent person, but deliberately luring him over before killing him is another matter."
The strange creature's expression changed.
"Have you seen Ancestor Wutong?" Hua Yunfei asked again.
"I haven't... No, I have... seen it."
The strange creature had meant to shake its head, but when it saw Ao Kun and the others' gazes growing colder, it hurriedly admitted the truth.
"Where?" Hua Yunfei asked.
