"Sun True Fire? No, it was fire Killing Intent formed when something like Sun True Fire had been contaminated by some dark, Killing Intent. It also seemed to contain a power capable of turning black into white and twisting truth into falsehood." True Lord Tongxuan's expression turned slightly solemn. He could see that this thing was similar to Abaddon's locusts; if it spread, the harm it could cause would be immense. He tossed out his fisher drum, which transformed into an acre-wide lotus of azure light and blocked layer upon layer of fiery Killing Intent.
But just as True Lord Tongxuan's defensive line took shape, a monster with a wolf's body and a serpent's tail lunged out of the flames and bit at True Lord Tongxuan.
The donkey beneath him raised a hoof and was about to flee, but after the wolf-bodied, serpent-tailed monster glanced at it, it paused, then carried True Lord Tongxuan forward to meet it.
No one had anticipated such an unexpected turn. Just as True Lord Tongxuan hesitated, a curtain of night carrying the aura of the Western Ocean descended slowly amid specks of starlight, wrapping around the wolf-bodied, serpent-tailed monster.
Although the monster tore open the night curtain and rushed out the next instant, that brief delay was enough for True Lord Tongxuan to evade its killing move. As he awakened his donkey, he suppressed the surrounding fiery Killing Intent.
Finding a moment, True Lord Tongxuan also smiled at the woman who had arrived with the night curtain. "I never expected you to cast aside the status and power of the Western Ocean so readily."
"There must be giving before there can be gain. If I had not abandoned the Western Ocean's power, how could I have accelerated my integration into the Central Plains?" Jin
