Unless he never went out again-but that was impossible.

Because once he left the space this time, he would have to pack up and run. If he waited any longer and the Nihility Devouring Flame discovered him, he was one hundred percent dead as a doornail.

Right now, he was agonizing over whether to kill Xiao Yan after all.

If he did not kill him, would taking Xiao Yan as his disciple get him anywhere?

But all of that had one prerequisite: first, he had to find out where Xiao Yan was.

"Brother Hun, I won't tell you."

Gu Yuan did not know what Hun Tiandi was thinking. Even if he did, he would not tell him Xiao Yan's whereabouts. Every day he could keep it hidden was another day gained.

Even if he could no longer hide it one day, perhaps Hun Tiandi's cultivation would have fallen to Dou Emperor by then. In that case, it would not matter if he found out.

"Tch, keep it to yourself, then. I'll find him myself." Hun Tiandi curled his lip.

As his strength declined, his temper grew better and better.

"Hehe, suit yourself." Gu Yuan smiled faintly.

A mere Seven-Star Dou Saint-he did not believe Hun Tiandi would still dare show his face.

"Question four!"

"The world of 'Battle Through the Heavens' became so famous that it spawned many secondary worlds. In one of these secondary worlds, the Dou Sheng Hun Tiandi encountered the Dou Zhe Xiao Yan, but could not catch up to him no matter what. Why was this?

a, Dou Qi Turns into a Horse, b, he did not want to kill him, c, he did not see him, d, insufficient strength.

"Please answer!"

"Secondary worlds?"

"What does that mean?"

When the fourth question appeared, the Dou Shengs did not immediately choose an answer. Instead, they frowned and pondered what "secondary worlds" meant.

Although they were very powerful, none of them had much education, because all they had learned since birth was fighting and killing. So, even after pondering for quite a while, they still could not figure out what "secondary worlds" meant.

"Forget it. Let's just answer the question." Xiao Xuan shook his head indifferently, then smiled at Hun Tiandi. "Hun, you bastard, to think you couldn't even catch my descendant in some secondary world. Could your strength have fallen to the Dou Qi stage?"

At this, Hun Tiandi sneered and replied, "Xiao Xuan, don't get cocky. I'm not necessarily the loser here. Besides, me, unable to catch a Dou Zhe? What a joke."

"What are you arguing about? Rather than wasting time arguing, why don't we work out how to pick the right answer? I don't want the points already in my hands taken back," Zhu Kun said irritably.

Trapped for thousands of years, he had finally tasted meat and did not want his mouth growing so bland that birds could nest in it again.

These words made Hun Tiandi's eyes light up, and he immediately agreed. "Brother Zhu Kun is right. Let's put our heads together. If our strength keeps falling, it won't do any of us any good."

Gu Yuan nodded in agreement as well. He had already fallen to Mid-Stage Eight-Star Dou Sheng. If he fell further, he would be just like Hun Tiandi. Once that enormous advantage was gone, it would be his Gu Clan that suffered.

Of course, someone objected: Xiao Xuan.

Strength was of little use to him. He would love nothing more than to see Hun Tiandi fall again and again.

He could refuse to join, but his objections were useless, because Gu Yuan and Zhu Kun would not listen to him.

Zhu Kun did not care whether Xiao Xuan joined. The one he really had his sights on was Xiao Han. Beaming, he invited him, "Young Xiao Han, why don't you join us too?"

"That's right, Brother Xiao Han. Join us, and we'll strike it rich together." Hun Tiandi also looked expectant.

Although Gu Yuan said nothing, his expression showed that he, too, was eager for Xiao Han to join.

Xiao Han was no fool. Just like Xiao Xuan, he would love nothing more than for these men to fall to the Dou Qi stage.

He immediately curled one corner of his mouth and sneered. "Gentlemen, do I look like an idiot?"

At those words, the three understood what Xiao Han meant. Each sighed inwardly and said no more.

Without Xiao Han joining them, there was little point in the three putting their heads together. They might as well each work on their own.

Hmph, three idiots.

Seeing them all sink into thought, Xiao Han cursed inwardly and chose Dou Qi Turns into a Horse without hesitation.

Seeing Xiao Han press the button again made the faces of Hun Tiandi and the others twitch. They inwardly cursed him for not knowing what was good for him, but inward curses were all they dared. They did not dare say it aloud.

Because as far as they knew, Xiao Han was the only Nine-Star Dou Sheng. If they truly angered him and he went to the Central Plains to block their front gates, the losses would outweigh the gains.

But if they had to choose for themselves, they did not know what to pick. They could only agonize and waver back and forth, until the countdown sounded.

"Countdown: 3, 2, 1."

"Forget it." Hun Tiandi let out a long sigh, gritted his teeth, stamped his foot, and chose insufficient strength.

Zhu Kun chose that he did not want to kill him.

Gu Yuan wavered between not wanting to kill him and insufficient strength, then chose insufficient strength.

As for Dou Qi Turns into a Horse and not seeing him, no normal person would choose either.

How powerful was a Dou Sheng's soul power? A single sweep would reveal every detail within a hundred li.

How could he possibly fail to see him?

Dou Qi Turns into a Horse was even more absurd. Did they not know what a horse was?

Why would anyone need to transform into that thing?!

"Beep, countdown complete. Everyone has made their choice. Evaluating. Evaluation complete."

"Xiao Han, Xiao Xuan, and the Nascent Pill chose correctly and gain one point."

"Hun Tiandi, Gu Yuan, and Zhu Kun chose incorrectly and lose one point."

"It was actually Dou Qi Turns into a Horse?"

Xiao Xuan could not help blurting out, his expression peculiar. He had not expected his random choice to actually be correct.

Compared with Xiao Xuan's surprise, the three who had chosen incorrectly looked grim. The points they had gained with such difficulty had once again slipped away from them.

Gu Yuan in particular looked as though he had eaten shit, because if his cultivation fell any further, he would catch up with Hun Tiandi.

If Hun Tiandi really found Xiao Yan then, with their cultivation equal, he would not dare risk his life fighting Hun Tiandi.

Zhu Kun spat several times and looked at Hun Tiandi with displeasure. "What rotten luck. What the hell is this Dou Qi Turns into a Horse?"

"How would I know?!" Hun Tiandi laughed in anger.

He had finally realized that this Answering Space, which had appeared out of nowhere, existed specifically to counter him.

"Hehe, two points. How am I ever going to spend them?" Xiao Xuan beamed, his words nearly making Hun Tiandi cough up blood.

But Hun Tiandi was not made of clay either. He immediately retorted, "Xiao Xuan, don't get cocky. So what if you have points? You're just a remnant soul. Do you think you can overturn the heavens?"

"That's true." Xiao Xuan rubbed his chin, a thoughtful look flashing through his eyes, and asked tentatively, "May I ask, esteemed Space, can points be transferred to someone else?"

He had only meant to test it and had never expected a reply. Yet the next second, the space answered.

"They may be transferred to people within the space."

"What?"

"A living thing?"

"Conscious?"

The moment those words appeared, several faces changed drastically.

They had never expected Xiao Xuan's question to actually receive an answer either.

Hun Tiandi in particular stared fixedly at the space, his mouth opening and closing. In the end, he flung his hand dejectedly, folded his arms, and resigned himself to his fate.
