Across a Thousand Mountains and Rivers, Hunting the Ba Emperor!

"Na'er, if you encounter something like this again, be sure to tell me immediately." To prevent any future mishaps, Jiang Xiu added this reminder.

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll listen to you, boss." Na'er nodded emphatically and said with a big smile.

"Forget it, once Qiangu Dongfeng's Dongfeng Mission is complete, I should hurry up and help Aunt Leng take control of the Spirit Pagoda." Jiang Xiu thought to himself. After all, Qiangu Dongfeng's actions were too unconventional. If he did something unexpected, it would be too late to make amends.

As Na'er finished speaking, a warm silence fell over the car, while outside, the wind was biting and snowflakes were falling heavily.

"Na'er, besides eating, is there anything else you want to do?" Jiang Xiu broke the silence and asked softly.

"Hmm..." Na'er thought for a moment, "I also want to see the mountains and rivers of this continent, and then eat all kinds of local delicacies, hehehe..."

"Of course, I know you're busy, Boss, and you have responsibilities, but it's okay. Na'er can wait. We'll go when you're strong enough in the future..."

As Jiang Xiu listened to Na'er's soft words, ripples appeared in his deep eyes.

"Okay, when we have more free time in the future, I'll take you to see all the beautiful places in the world..."

Na'er may have already been a part of his life.

He wasn't exactly adept at handling relationships either.

"The most important thing is the food..." Na'er added weakly.

"Alright, then let's sample all the delicious food from across the land." Jiang Xiu smiled slightly.

late at night.

Body Sect.

The vermilion gate opened.

Jiang Xiu strolled inside and gently closed the door.

"Slap! Slap! Slap!"

Just as Jiang Xiu entered the main hall, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the courtyard next door, accompanied by low growls.

"Hmm?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was his Grandmaster A Ruheng, who was Body Tempering. His thick muscles bulged, and a rich Bloodline Power swirled around him, with crackling sounds emanating from his body like popping beans.

On a stone seat to one side were Seven-Needle Bloodline Potion...

Hmm... Hmm? Seven needles?!

Jiang Xiu was slightly taken aback when he saw this. His Grandmaster could now administer seven injections at once? That was terrifying.

However, seeing A Ruheng immersed in body training, Jiang Xiu did not disturb him. Instead, he strolled into the main hall and took out a piece of left arm bone that was crystal clear and looked like crystal from the sack.

This Soul Bone is a top-tier Soul Bone with an age of 80,000 years. It comes from a Diamond Mammoth known for its absolute defense. Similarly, the Diamond Mammoth is Soul Beast with immense power. The Soul Skill associated with this Soul Bone is extremely suitable for A Ruheng's fixed Soul Skill.

Fixed Soul Skill are inherent to some top-tier Soul Bone and do not change depending on the Soul Master, just like the Ice Jade Scorpion Soul Bone that Huo Yuhao absorbed ten thousand years ago, which possessed the Ice Explosion divine skill.

After putting the Soul Bone away, Jiang Xiu took out another piece of paper and wrote down the details of the Soul Bone and its Soul Skill. After all, whether or not to absorb it depended on his Grandmaster's decision.

Afterwards, Jiang Xiu wrote down that he would be going into seclusion for the next three days to cultivate and not be disturbed by outsiders.

After doing all this, Jiang Xiu returned to his room. As for the Secret of the Body, he planned to tell his Grandmaster after he subdued Ba Emperor.

Upon entering the room, Jiang Xiu found it as tidy and clean as it had been before he left. His clothes were still in the closet, but thoughtfully covered with a gauze to prevent dust from settling in. The floor was spotless, clearly having been cleaned.

After closing the door and letting Little Black out, Jiang Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing his mind.

"Little Black, stay here and guard this place. No one is allowed to enter my house," Jiang Xiu instructed Dark Night Raven in a deep voice.

"Caw caw caw!" Little Black nodded slightly, its blood-red eyes filled with determination. Then it flapped its wings slightly and landed beside Jiang Xiu Jiang Xiu, Guardian him like a sentry.

It knew its master had important things to do, and it had to Guardian this place.

"Come on, let my Shadow Legion gain another legion commander today!" Jiang Xiu took a deep breath, his purple eyes suddenly turning into Blood Pupil.

"Buzz!" A buzzing sound rang out, and in the next instant, the towering Shadow Monarch Martial Soul appeared. Jiang Xiu's consciousness instantly sank into the Martial Soul, and he seemed to sit still.

Its dark red gaze swept across the area, and Little Black's sharp claws slightly extended, its eyes fixed on everything around it.

Silence fell over the room once more.

In the courtyard outside the room, A Ruheng had just finished his practice and was heading towards the main hall.

The Abyss Plane.

The 32nd Layer.

"Old Ant, hasn't our the Master arrived yet?" The Six-Claw Demon Emperor paced back and forth anxiously within the Blood River God-Slaying Array.

"Don't worry, the Master will come," the Ant Emperor replied calmly, as steady as an old dog, but his heart was in turmoil.

Because they received information that Ba Emperor might return ahead of schedule.

"Besides, the Blood River God-Slaying Array is right here, what are you panicking for? At worst, we can activate the array together and still annihilate Ba Emperor." The Ant Emperor didn't know whether he was comforting himself or the Six-Claw Demon Emperor.

"That makes sense, but Ba Emperor has Regeneration abilities, and this is still his territory. I'm still a little nervous, since neither of us has the ability to suppress Ba Emperor," the Six-Claw Demon Emperor said, his brows furrowed.

The reason they were so confident in their ability to hunt down Ba Emperor was not only because of this weakened version of the Blood River God-Slaying Array, but also because their the Master possessed something that could absolutely suppress Ba Emperor's bloodline.

Although they were curious about what could suppress the bloodline of the Ba Emperor, they still trusted their the Master implicitly. However, things were getting a little bad now that their the Master hadn't arrived yet.

"Look at you two, always in such a hurry."

Just as the two were feeling anxious, a voice reached their ears, instantly jolting them awake. They both looked towards a spot in the space, where a tall, imposing figure slowly rose from the ground, its eyes gleaming with bloodlust. Wasn't this the Master they had been waiting for?

"Greetings, the Master!" The Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor exchanged a glance and said respectfully in unison, both able to see the unease in each other's eyes dissipate.

The Master, they had a clear sky!

"The setup is quite nice."

Jiang Xiu surveyed the vast Blood River God-Slaying Array, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his Blood Pupil.

The entire Blood River God-Slaying Array was like a blood-red domain, exuding a dense aura of ferocity. The numerous intricate and menacing arrays were embedded in the earth, each displaying its formidable and malevolent power.

Jiang Xiu was naturally familiar with the Blood River God-Slaying Array. The complete version of the Blood River God-Slaying Array set up by the Demon Empress and the Holy Spirit Cult could even withstand the strongest of the Level 12 Fixed Soul Guidance Shell, the Eternal Heaven.

Although their Blood River God-Slaying Array is a weakened version, with the Golden Dragon King Origin present, it should still be relatively easy to kill Ba Emperor.

"Is the Ba Emperor almost here?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.

"Your the Master, according to the clansmen I have placed here, the Ba Emperor will pass through this place in at most two hours. According to the Ba Emperor's custom, he always stops here to bathe after sparring with the Fierce Emperor."

The Six-Claw Demon Emperor replied respectfully, while "bathing" referred to the lake that had long since become Blood River God-Slaying Array.

"Very good. Have everyone get ready. The upcoming battle won't be easy," Jiang Xiu ordered solemnly.

"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, the Shadow Soldiers who had been lying in ambush all slipped underground to make their final preparations.

Jiang Xiu, on the other hand, always held the power of [Advent].

After an unknown amount of time, a loud dragon roar suddenly echoed from the distant horizon, causing the space above to tremble. A terrifying figure, hundreds of feet tall, hurtled towards the area like a falling comet.

Upon hearing the dragon's roar, the Ant Emperor and the Six-Claw Demon Emperor's expressions changed, while Jiang Xiu slowly rose from his throne, his Blood Pupil gleaming Sisi crimson light.
