Ape Devil Domain, Immortal Ape Village.
At this moment, outside the ancestral home of Immortal Ape Village.
Everyone in Immortal Ape Village, including the village chief, Yuan Shou, and Xiao Hei, gathered here.
Whether they were villagers going out to gain experience or those who were in seclusion for cultivation, they all gathered here.
The village chief looked at Yuan Shou and asked, "Is everything ready?"
Yuan Shou nodded, but his expression still showed some hesitation. He asked, "Are you really not going to wait any longer?"
"After all, activating the Progenitor Blood Pool now might not be able to fully activate it for others..."
The village chief shook his head gravely and said solemnly, "We have no time left. After the Devil Master merged with the soul fragments in Severed Soul City, his aura is so powerful and the commotion so great."
"I'm afraid it's impossible to hide it any longer; they might come knocking on our door at any time."
"Even if some cultivators are not at a high enough level to fully activate the Ape Devil Bloodline, we can only wait until later..."
Hearing this, Yuan Shou could only nod.
Beside him, Xiao Hei's expression hardened slightly, and he said, "There's no need to go to such lengths for me. Just proceed according to your original plan."
"No." The village chief shook his head and said solemnly, "Lord Devil Master Lord, I hope you understand that the fate of the Ape Devil Clan rests entirely on your shoulders."
"If you can regain power in the Demon King Domain, then our Ape Devil Clan will be able to return to its peak!"
"However, if you, Devil Master, fail, then our Ape Devil Clan will have no reason to continue existing, and will be killed one by one by those rebels!"
This was the first time the village chief had so formally rejected Xiao Hei.
After hearing this, Xiao Hei could only nod solemnly. "Once I regain control of the Demon King Domain, I will certainly make amends to everyone."
Upon hearing this, the village chief, Yuan Shou, and even the other members of the Ape Devil Clan all nodded with smiles.
"With the Devil Master's words, our Ape Devil Clan is content."
"Alright, everyone, enter the Ancestral Lineage and step into the Progenitor Blood Pool!"
That's all.
Everyone nodded.
Even the village chief was the first to enter!
Xiao Hei watched the group's retreating figures with a serious expression.
Countless people have already paid the price for him.
Even if it's not for myself, but for them, for the person in my memory, I must take back the Demon King Domain!
All those who participated in the siege of the Demon King Domain, and all that force, must be wiped out!
That's what I've been thinking about.
Xiao Hei then headed towards the cultivation grounds.
His current strength is far from sufficient...
On the other side, Heavenly Sword Peak.
Ye Qiubai received a telepathic message from Mu Fusheng's jade pendant.
"My eldest brother, second sister, Senior Brother Ning, Shi Sheng, and Wan'er have arrived."
Ye Qiubai nodded and said, "Okay, I still have some things to take care of. I'll come over after I've finished."
The jade pendant's light went out.
He looked at Huo Zhengheng and the three sword-guarding elders in front of him.
Huo Zhengheng said solemnly, "Now, the Avici Purgatory has its eyes on you and your fellow disciples Qiubai, you need to speed up your cultivation."
One of the elders guarding the sword nodded and said, "The feud between Qi Shadao and our Heavenly Sword Peak is irreconcilable. At that time, our Heavenly Sword Peak will be your support."
"However, one must be strong to forge iron. Ye Qiubai, even if you have already stepped into the Half-Step Immortal Sword Realm, it is still far from enough."
Ye Qiubai nodded and said seriously, "I understand."
The remaining elder guarding the sword patted Ye Qiubai on the shoulder and said, "Go, go to the ancestral land. You might be able to comprehend something else there from the ancestral statue."
Upon hearing this, Ye Qiubai entered the ancestral palace.
After Ye Qiubai entered the ancestral land, Huo Zhengheng turned around and stood on the highest peak of Heavenly Sword Peak.
Looking at the devastated Heavenly Sword Peak, his eyes revealed a boundless killing intent!
His eyes blazed with murderous intent as he clenched his fists and said, " Qi Shadao, you dare to do this so soon after you've come out; you truly haven't changed your wicked heart!"
Heavenly Sword Peak today.
Apart from the ancestral land and the Sword Repository Pavilion, which have not yet been destroyed.
The rest have been completely destroyed by Qi Shadao!
Even all the disciples of Heavenly Sword Peak had become desiccated corpses.
Some of the bodies were not even intact.
Among those piles of rubble, collapsed cave abode, and courtyards.
Mutilated remains were scattered everywhere.
Blood stained the rubble.
Several days have already passed.
The blood had already stained the gravel a dark red.
The stench of blood permeated the entire Heavenly Sword Peak!
" Heavenly Sword Peak, just like that, was destroyed in my hands..." Huo Zhengheng clenched his fists, his Sword Intent soaring into the sky, and within it, killing intent completely enveloped the Sword Intent!
One of the elders guarding the sword frowned slightly as he watched this scene and placed his hand on Huo Zhengheng's shoulder.
" Huo Zhengheng, calm down!"
"As a swordsman, you cannot let hatred corrupt your Sword Dao!"
"In this way, your realm, your Sword Heart, and even your Sword Dao will undergo an irreversible transformation!"
Huo Zhengheng gritted his teeth and said, "But Elder, how can I calm down like this?"
" Qi Shadao destroyed my sect and slaughtered all the disciples and elders within it!"
How can I not hate this?
Another elder guarding the sword sighed softly and said, "Now, what you need to do is calm down, restore your Sword Heart, and protect Ye Qiubai."
"This child's talent is limitless. As long as he can grow stronger, what can a Avici Purgatory or a mere Qi Shadao do to him?"
"That's right." One of the elders guarding the sword nodded and said, " Ye Qiubai is the hope of our Heavenly Sword Peak."
"Don't you think that this boy's aura, or even his Sword Dao, is quite similar to that of our ancestor?"
"Is it possible that he can't reach the same level as our ancestor?"
After hearing these words, Huo Zhengheng calmed down slightly, his Sword Intent began to dissipate, and his killing intent began to subside.
"As long as Ye Qiubai comprehends the Immortal Sword and reaches the Peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm, how could Qi Shadao possibly be his match?"
Huo Zhengheng nodded.
That's right.
Ye Qiubai's talent is truly top-notch.
Even at the Blood Transformation Realm, one can fight across realms.
The same applies now that we've reached the Turbid Immortal Realm.
If Ye Qiubai can reach the Peak of the Heaven Immortal Realm and stand on the same level as Qi Shadao, how could Qi Shadao be his match?
Huo Zhengheng sighed softly, "But perhaps it will take a very long time..."
"During this time, we don't know if we can withstand the onslaught of the Avici Purgatory and the Qi Shadao."
"There's no other way. Let's see if the Holy Talisman Sect and those hidden forces can unite the forces in the Mid-Latitude Realm..."
"But as things stand at the moment..." Huo Zhengheng hesitated for a moment, then smiled wryly, "I'm afraid it will be somewhat difficult."
Those forces had no intention of getting involved from the outset.
Still observing!
But little did they know.
Once Qi Shadao regains his strength, what a disaster he will bring!
P. S.: I'm still writing one more chapter. I'll continue while I make some instant noodles.
