As Demon God Xiao Mang perished, Di Jun, far away in the Heavenly Court, felt a premonition. He immediately took out the Monster Summoning Banner to check the true spirits upon it. He saw an incredibly familiar aura vanish in an instant.

"Xiao Mang is dead?"

"Who did it?"

A surge of anger instantly welled up in Di Jun's heart. Although this time, due to Demon God Xiao Mang, the Demon Clan had lost over ten Great Golden Immortals, a million-strong demon army, and he himself had been severely wounded by Old Ancestor King Pan, he still highly recognized Demon God Xiao Mang's loyalty.

Every Great Golden Immortal was an indispensable existence to the Demon Clan. They were the foundation of the Demon Court and Di Jun's reliance in dealing with the Witch Clan.

The current Demon Clan had suffered significant losses of Great Unity Demon Sages in the previous great battle with the Witch Clan. To evolve the complete Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation, they needed to recruit more Great Unity experts.

But recently, he had first hit a wall with the Dragon Clan, and then encountered the notorious King Pan, making Di Jun feel utterly unlucky!

He had originally thought that Eastern Emperor Taiyi's powerful suppression of King Pan would improve the situation, but he never expected that Demon God Xiao Mang would perish so soon after his return to the Heavenly Court!

Wasn't this a slap in his face?

Thinking of this, he immediately sent for Fuxi to handle the matter.

After he and Eastern Emperor Taiyi founded the Demon Clan, they had invited many Innate Divine Beings to join. Nuwa and Fuxi, the siblings, were among the most outstanding.

To win them over, he had specifically promised them the positions of "Imperial Lord Xi" and "Empress Wa," allowing them to enjoy the same Destiny as he and Eastern Emperor Taiyi.

Unfortunately, Nuwa had always been indifferent to worldly affairs. After becoming a Saint, she had distanced herself from the Great Desolation, establishing Grand Simplicity Heaven in Chaos. Now, she was merely a nominal member of the Demon Clan!

On the other hand, Fuxi, seeing Nuwa become a Saint, felt a surge of ambition. He hoped to advance further by leveraging the Demon Clan's Destiny, at least not falling too far behind Nuwa.

"Fellow Daoist Fuxi, I implore you!"

Di Jun said earnestly, "I am injured, and Taiyi is in seclusion, hoping to sever his third corpse before the next great battle with the Witch Clan! This matter can only trouble you, Fellow Daoist Fuxi!"

In fact, Di Jun was also troubled. The Demon Court was a mixed bag. Xi He was busy teaching their children, Kunpeng was ambitious, Ji Meng had ties with the Dragon Clan, and Guiche often interacted with the Phoenix Clan. Only Bai Ze and Shang Yang could be considered old guards of the Demon Clan.

However, Bai Ze and Shang Yang had barely managed to sever one corpse, their strength far inferior to Kunpeng and Fuxi. He truly did not dare to let them take such risks.

Therefore, the first person he thought of was Fuxi, who had severed two corpses!

With a Saint as his backer, even if he encountered danger, ordinary beings would not dare to kill him. This was an advantage others lacked.

"Don't worry, Fellow Daoist!"

Fuxi nodded upon hearing this, "Xiao Mang was, after all, one of our Heavenly Court's people. As the Imperial Lord Xi of the Heavenly Court, I naturally cannot let him perish without reason!"

He could also see that Di Jun had been under a lot of pressure recently. First, the Great Zhou Tian Star Dou Formation was broken, and then they had suffered significant losses from the Dragon Clan and Old Ancestor King Pan.

He had enjoyed so many benefits; it was time for him to contribute to the Demon Clan and the Heavenly Court!

Meanwhile, Xuan Qing was still refining the King Pan Bead and comprehending Old Ancestor King Pan's Great Dao. Suddenly, he felt an inexplicable palpitation and fear.

"Could it be that a powerful being is deducing my whereabouts?"

During the tribulation, heavenly secrets and karma were obscure, making it difficult to deduce them. However, it was not impossible. Otherwise, Xuan Qing's Innate Eight Trigrams would not be usable!

"I need to leave quickly!"

Xuan Qing's brows furrowed, and he thought to himself, "Among the Demon Clan, Di Jun possesses the River Diagram and Luo Shu, two top-grade Innate Spiritual Treasures, both divine artifacts for deduction! Furthermore, Fuxi and Bai Ze are also outstanding in this regard!"

"I must not be careless!"

He had originally intended to refine this poisonous miasma left by King Pan as a protective measure. However, after weighing the pros and cons, he decided to lie low for now.

With a thought, he immediately used his "Other Self" technique, splitting into over a dozen Other Self Incarnations. He activated Soaring Golden Light and fled in different directions.

During this process, he deliberately used the Innate Eight Trigrams to obscure karma and alter heavenly secrets, attempting to lead the deducing entity in the wrong direction.

His true self, however, fully activated the Golden Cloud Crown, concealed his aura, and then used Submerging Abyss Shrinking Earth to flee into the depths of the Great Desolation's earth veins.

These two Spiritual Powers were relatively advanced techniques among the Thirty-Six Heavenly Dipper Techniques of the Mystic Gate. Soaring Golden Light's speed was unparalleled among cultivators of the same level, allowing one to travel from the north sea to the southern regions by dawn. Submerging Abyss Shrinking Earth, on the other hand, was a method of escape underground, capable of covering a million miles with a single thought in areas rich with earth vein energy.

"Strange?"

Shortly after Xuan Qing left, Fuxi arrived at the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. "Although my deduction indicates that Demon God Xiao Mang was killed by King Pan's Remnant Soul, there was another cultivator who played a crucial role! Yet, despite my full deduction, I cannot determine the direction of that person's departure?"

Fuxi's interest was piqued.

In his deduction, the cultivator's realm was not high, at least not stronger than Demon God Xiao Mang. Otherwise, they would not have needed to borrow the power of King Pan's Remnant Soul to kill Demon God Xiao Mang!

"Interesting!"

A startling divine light flashed in his eyes. His Great Unity spiritual light scattered, revealing a corner of the river of time, as if to project the events that had occurred here.

But at that very moment, an invisible force interfered with him. The vast river of time instantly evolved into countless possibilities!

Finally, he removed the interference, but there were still over a dozen possible escape routes!

"Then I'll test them one by one!"

He was a Quasi-Saint expert who had severed two corpses. A single thought could cover a million miles. He had ample time to verify the dozen or so results he had deduced.

In an instant, Fuxi appeared millions of miles away, but as soon as he made a move, the aura he was tracking dissipated into the void like a spiritual light.

"This technique..."

Fuxi's will was firm, far beyond that of ordinary people. One failure was not enough to make him give up. With a thought, he fled in another direction.

Unfortunately, it was still fruitless!

Meanwhile, Nuwa, high in Grand Simplicity Heaven, watched this scene and couldn't help but smile, "Interesting! Even my brother couldn't catch that noisy brat?"

Most people assume that becoming a Saint means transcending all things.

Little do they know, Saints also have many restrictions, unable to truly do as they please.

After Nuwa became a Saint, she originally wanted to do certain things, but the Heavenly Dao told her that Saints are impartial and should not interfere too much with the destinies of the beings in the Great Desolation.

Whether it was the Witch Clan, the Demon Clan, or the Human Race she personally created, they all had predetermined destinies. Forcibly interfering would only bring them disaster.

In fact, she had also advised Fuxi more than once to leave the Demon Clan to avoid entanglement with karma.

However, Fuxi, as a Quasi-Saint mighty being who had severed two corpses, had his own convictions. If he wanted to advance further, he would have to find a way to seize immense destiny!

Calamities often accompany opportunities. Great tribulations are both disasters and fortunes. Some people are passively drawn into tribulations, while others actively seek them out, searching for a breakthrough opportunity!

Fuxi was the latter!

Nuwa watched this scene with great interest, murmuring, "If you can escape your elder brother's pursuit, I will personally bestow a fortune upon you!"

A Saint's words are heaven's decree, and their words are followed by law, representing a certain degree of heavenly will.

She would naturally not go back on her word easily!
