In the eyes of countless people in the city who looked up, streaks of lightning pierced the heavens and the earth.

"Boom!"

The heavens and earth were no longer filled with a single thunderbolt, but rather formed a thunder pool, transforming into a sea of thunder, with thunder snakes dancing wildly everywhere.

Lightning of various colors poured down like Tianhe, some blue and purple, some golden and majestic, some chaotic and still, each possessing its own power, intertwining and tearing the night sky above the entire county city to shreds.

In the end, each flash of lightning seemed to contain a virtual world.

The instant thunder flashes is the instant that world is born and dies.

This scene, witnessed by countless people, deeply moved all who saw it, as if they had glimpsed a glimpse of the True Intention of the workings of the Heavenly Dao.

Chen Xuanjing of the Five Thunder Temple was thrilled to see this scene. Even just watching from afar, he had many insights. The obstacles in his cultivation in the past were now loosening.

However, for Helian Tu and his companion, this barrage of thunder was anything but friendly.

Lightning flashed like a waterfall, with the blue-purple lightning being the most violent. Each blue-purple lightning bolt precisely sliced off large chunks of Helian Tu's flesh, and before the charred areas could heal, the next bolt of lightning would arrive.

The Blood God Son's avatar was even worse. Without a physical body to protect it, every bolt of lightning that swept across it caused its dense blood-red light to tremble violently, with crimson mist constantly rising from its edges before vanishing into nothingness in the lightning.

At this moment, half of the flesh on Helian Tu's face had been cut away, revealing the stark white bones beneath, making him look ferocious and terrifying. However, his gaze had returned to calm as he looked towards the direction of the county city.

Interestingly, this county town actually harbors a guy whom even he misjudged.

Even if he wasn't skilled in Thunder Method, his realm and vision were still there. The fact that the person behind the scenes could hide the lightning-summoning array in the ritual and deceive him meant that their Thunder Method skills had at least reached the peak of the Human Immortal, or even higher.

After a thousand years of silence, such a powerful expert in the Dao of Thunder has still been born in the Mortal Realm. The Human Race is indeed a race favored by the Great Dao and by sages.

If this person had lived before High Antiquity, he would have been able to attain sainthood through Thunder Method!

Helian Tu was covered in blood, large chunks of flesh were shaved off by the lightning, revealing his stark white bones, some of which were cracked. Yet he seemed to feel no pain, looking in the direction of the Blood God Son with a sinister grin.

He still had his physical body to protect his Primordial Spirit. Even though the Blood God Son's divided spirit was stronger than his, without a physical body to protect his Primordial Spirit, he would be destroyed faster than him under this heavenly lightning!

At this moment, both of them almost gave up fighting and resorted to various methods to evade and withstand the attack.

Because the heavenly lightning is endless, representing the primordial power of this world, and none of them have ever returned to their peak, confronting it head-on would be tantamount to throwing an egg against a rock.

The only thing we can do right now is to endure the onslaught and look for that fleeting opportunity to escape the lightning's lock.

"Slay those two idiots!"

Niwan Palace, Huntian shook his feathers with schadenfreude.

It wanted to use the so-called power of the Nine Netherworlds to restore itself, and now it seemed there was an additional surprise. Naturally, it was happy to see this happen and couldn't wait to reveal its true form, control the heavenly thunder, and blast the two guys into dust!

Of course, if its true form were to appear, it would probably get struck by lightning—

Yu Tunzhou asked, "In your opinion, to what extent can this heavenly lightning weaken these two people?"

Huntian laughed and said, "This is different from your tribulation. Tribulations are predetermined, but the heavenly lightning I summoned is for 'exorcising demons,' and I will not stop until I achieve my goal."

"Of course, these two aren't without a chance to fight back. It depends on what trump cards they've prepared and what their true strength is willing to sacrifice."

The Yu Tunzhou, and felt relieved.

Speaking of which, isn't there another term before "exorcising demons"?

Huntian said excitedly, "Fellow Daoist, please lend me your help later. I reckon these two won't expend too much energy on a clone locked by heavenly lightning. When they are close to being completely annihilated, that will be our moment to strike."

Yu Tunzhou nodded. "You may borrow the Vajra Bracelet."

He couldn't help this person anywhere else!

Huntian hesitated, realizing that while the artifact was powerful, it also consumed a lot of resources, and he might even end up fighting it for the spoils—a losing proposition indeed.

"Fellow Daoist, I wish to borrow your Primordial Spirit Inner Form a while," Hun Heavenly Dao revealed his true intention.

Yu Tunzhou was taken aback. "You can lend this?"

"Naturally, this matter will also be of considerable benefit to you, fellow Daoist," Huntian explained. "My Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage naturally possesses divine will that permeates the world. As one of the lineage's patriarchs, I am also qualified to wield divine will, but I lack a physical form. Therefore, I am borrowing your Inner Form to conceal myself."

Divine Will----

This isn't the first time I've heard of "Yu Tunzhou."

Since leaving Luofu Grotto-Heaven, Kunpeng's divine will has never descended again.

"Good."

In just a moment, Yu Tunzhou agreed.

He wanted to see how this person, with his Inner Form, could control the divine will of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan.

Seeing that Yu Tunzhou had agreed, Huntian chuckled and said, "Fellow Daoist, this time you may be able to break free from the lock of the Kunpeng Lineage's divine will by borrowing the divine will of my Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage to cleanse your Primordial Spirit Inner Form."

Yu Tunzhou pondered, "Does the Great Sage think it's a bad thing that I'm being targeted by the divine will of the Kunpeng Lineage?"

"Naturally," Huntian said solemnly, "Fellow Daoist is the eldest disciple of the Daode Lineage, receiving the Heavenly Venerable's inheritance. Although the old man of the Kunpeng Lineage is strong, he is still no match for the Heavenly Venerable. I suspect that the old man's interest in you is mostly malicious!"

Yu Tunzhou thought to himself, "Times have indeed changed."

However, based on his guess, the situation should not be as Huntian said.

In Luofu Grotto-Heaven, the Kunpeng Divine Intent helped him several times. The reason why this thing favored him was firstly because of his fist technique, and secondly because of his Martial Dao will.

It has nothing to Daode Lineage.

In the distance, the lightning intensified. A web of multicolored lightning intertwined, trapping Helian Tu and the Blood God Son within.

The lightning was no longer just the power of thunder; it also contained the mysteries of life and death, the pivot of yin and yang, as if it were a true exposition of the General Principles of the Thunder Dao, which captivated Yu Tunzhou.

With his tacit approval, Huntian came to the top of Little Black's head, looking at the huge guy below and this vast sea and sky. Huntian thought to himself that he should have noticed it sooner.

With Fellow Daoist Yu's current cultivation level, how could his Primordial Spirit Inner Form possibly reach such a scale?

He must be the reincarnation of someone!

This time, Fellow Daoist Fish Inner Form to control the divine will of its lineage. It also had its own thoughts. This is a cause and effect. In the future, whether Fellow Daoist Fish inherits the mantle of the Heavenly Venerable or not, it has formed a good relationship with the Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage.

Having roamed freely for most of the ancient era, it was eventually hunted down by the later Human Emperor, with no one daring to help it. This caused a change in its mindset, making it realize that cultivation was not just about fighting and killing, and that even if it didn't make many friends, it should at least leave itself a few escape routes.

It used to scoff at its predecessor who had become a disciple of Buddhist School and joined the Buddha, but now it seems that this was true wisdom!

Within the sea of thunder, the wills of Helian Tu and the Blood God Son were trapped, unable to move an inch, and even finding it difficult to approach the county town.

At this moment.

Above the nine heavens, the majesty is even greater!

A golden lightning bolt, pure to the extreme, lacked the violent intensity of bluish-purple and the desolate stillness of chaos; it possessed only a magnificent and awe-inspiring grandeur that could not be directly beholded.

--

It transformed into a long spear, drawing a mysterious arc, as if it had already hit its target the moment it was thrown, piercing straight into the depths of the crimson, bringing the Blood God's will to the brink of collapse!

In that instant, the entire world became clear, as if it had been washed clean.

Seeing this, Qi Anmei and Wang Chongyi on the city wall were invigorated, never expecting the lightning array to be so effective!

Not only did it cleave and slice Helian Tu, but it also nearly shattered the legendary Blood God!

At this moment, the crimson pillar of light that was constantly shrinking between heaven and earth rose like a tide, as if it were a rebound before destruction. This was the Blood God Son's desperate gamble.

Compared to Helian Tu, the Blood God Son's reaction was extremely cold from beginning to end, as if he had cut off most of his emotions.

After repeated failed attempts to break through, the Blood God Son, pierced by golden lightning, deliberately dispersed himself into countless forms, transforming into a rain of blood that crashed down upon the heavens and earth.

Upon seeing this, Helian Tu's smile froze instantly, and his gaze turned cold.

He snorted coldly, guessing the Blood God Son's intention. If the Blood God succeeds, he will be able to escape in millions of fragments. Even if he wins this battle, he will still need to expend a lot of effort to collect all the fragments of the Blood God Son's spirit!

However, he no longer had the strength to stop the Blood God Son and could only watch helplessly as the blood rain fell.

Soon, golden lightning swept across, erasing a large area of blood rain, but a small number of remnants survived and quickly fell into the distant county town.

Upon seeing this, Qi Anmei and the other person's expressions changed, and they quickly took action to stop the falling blood rain.

No one knew what kind of changes would occur after the blood rain fell into the county town, but when they thought of the infamous reputation of the Blood River Dao, no one dared to gamble!

Wang Chongyi summoned the spear behind him, which transformed into a four-clawed silver dragon, brandishing its claws and swiftly meeting the rain of blood falling from the sky.

Qi Anmei threw a punch, heavy and terrifying, with the power to Tuntian, as if to send the rain of blood back down!

The brilliance contained in that punch made Helian Tu glance at it a couple more times.

At the same time, the martial artists below, led by the two, took the lead in attacking, using their Inner Qi Gang Qi and qi to sweep away any remaining enemies.

However, Qi Anmei and Wang Chongyi, who were at the forefront, soon discovered that the blood rain contained an extremely special Primordial Spirit imprint. In terms of strength alone, it was not particularly powerful, but it was like a bone-deep affliction, and once it clung to them, it was extremely difficult to get rid of.

And this isn't considered powerful, at least not from their perspective!

Ordinary people would have no power to resist it, and even martial artists with Divine Ability abilities would likely find it difficult to escape its corrosive effects!

This made their hearts sink. If this rain of blood were to fall, countless people in the county town would likely be assimilated by this Blood God.

Is this what makes the Great Sage so terrifying?

Just as they were doing their best to stop the blood rain from falling, the sky, which had been illuminated by lightning as bright as day, suddenly darkened.

The winds and clouds of heaven and earth seemed to gather at this moment, together lifting up a colossal figure that blotted out the sky—a Golden-Winged Great Peng Bird!

Its gaze was cold and disdainful; with a flap of its wings, it could summon winds and clouds from all directions, dominating the heavens and earth.

A roc rises with the wind in a single day!

At this moment, Helian Tu in the sea of thunder couldn't help but change color.

Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage?!

He guessed wrong!

Hidden in the county town is not Human Race powerhouse with extremely high attainments in the Dao of Thunder, but an ancient powerhouse who, like them, has been fortunate enough to survive from the ancient times and is far from fully recovered!

Which Golden-Winged Great Peng is this?

Is it the one from Buddhist School, or from the Demon Race?

As he pondered, the Golden-Winged Great Peng opened and closed its hook-like beak, and with a single breath, it swallowed the countless falling drops of blood into its belly with the force to engulf the universe, leaving not a single drop behind!

Qi Anmei and Wang Chongyi, who were still shocked that there was a "master" in the county town, breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this scene.

They were just about to unleash their forbidden life-burning technique in a desperate last stand!

Fortunately, this person doesn't seem to get along with the Blood God!

Is this Demon Race, or the Primordial Spirit Inner Form of some powerful being?

The Huntian, having swallowed the remnant of the Blood God Son in one gulp, flapped its wings and cried out, its voice carrying for miles—it was incredibly exhilarating!

After being severely injured by the Human Emperor, it was left with almost only a wisp of its Primordial Spirit imprint. Even after recuperating for so long, it has only slightly improved.

Today, with just one bite, its Primordial Spirit has been nourished and strengthened, regaining some of its power!

The Huntian energy surged, and pressing its advantage, it harnessed the divine will of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage, eyeing Helian Tu, who was still struggling through the tribulation of lightning, as if he were watching prey.

The latter had lost most of its flesh and blood, revealing a horrifying skeleton, with its internal organs still barely functioning.

In any other External Scenery, this kind of injury would basically have been fatal.

Upon sensing the chilling gaze of the Golden-Winged Great Peng, Helian Tu's expression turned cold.

Unexpectedly, today's situation is one of unawareness of the oriole behind.

His voice resonated from the Huntian his mind.

"Fellow Daoist, today you have offended both me and the Blood God Son. Aren't you afraid of being entangled in karma?"

Huntian scoffed, "The more debts you have, the less burden you carry."

Furthermore, a Blood God Son plus an unknown Nine Netherworlds Daoist is not enough to make the Great Sage Huntian wary.

As Great Sage of the Demon Race, the only forces it can fear are top-tier powers like Daoism, Buddhism, and the Heavenly Court.

"Taking a Nine Netherworlds Daoist title, does he really think he's something special?"

Huntian chuckled and opened his mouth again, using the Innate Divine Ability of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Lineage— the ability to devour heaven and earth—to begin separating Helian Tu's physical body and Primordial Spirit, which were currently in obvious conflict.

After his physical body, the vessel for crossing the world, malfunctioned, Helian Tu was exposed to the elements, and the power of the tribulation lightning he encountered became increasingly stronger.

Helian Tu could only offer a final warning. "This world is still the domain of the Human Race. Fellow Daoist, as Demon Race, aren't you afraid of being besieged and annihilated by the Human Race by making enemies everywhere?"

Huntian thought the other person was insane. They were both in the Human Race realm; he was a demon, and the other was a fiend. Who was more "welcomed" by Human Race?

However, it's happy to see the other party waste a few more words.

The opponent was stronger than expected, mainly due to his control over this physical body, which he had almost completely refined.

Fortunately, the heavenly lightning destroyed his physical body and even his Primordial Spirit.

At that moment, Huntian crouched to the side, its golden eyes fixed on Helian Tu. In its eyes, the latter was already a fish on a chopping board, just waiting for the heavenly lightning to strike down and destroy his body and spirit, so that it could take advantage of the situation and divide up the fragments of his Primordial Spirit.

However, the heavenly thunder has not yet dissipated, and rushing in rashly at this moment might result in being caught in the crossfire.

With Huntian watching closely from the sidelines, even if Helian Tu had a backup plan, it would be difficult for him to escape smoothly under the opponent's targeting.

His face contorted with rage as he roared, "Fine, fine, fine! Fellow Daoist, I, Nine Netherworlds, will remember this grudge!"

Huntian watched coldly from the sidelines, unmoved.

Anyone can talk tough, but if it were useful, would the former Human Emperor have shot it down?

Suddenly, Huntian felt a chill run down his spine and looked around. It was as if something had emerged from nothingness and was casting gazes upon this world.

"The Son of Heaven of Great Freedom?!"

This familiar yet strange feeling quickly reminded it of the Lord of the Heaven Beyond Heaven in the ancient times, the leader of the Heavenly Demon who was known as the Son of Heaven of Great Freedom!

"Fellow Daoist Nine Netherworlds, are you going to admit defeat?"

The sudden sound of laughter seemed to fall from the heavens, or perhaps it came from all directions; it was omnipresent yet impossible to find.

Under the thunderous roar, Helian Tu's physical body was nearly destroyed. His bones, which had gleamed with a jade-like luster, were covered with cracks. Residual lightning pulsed and eroded within each crack, producing a faint crackling sound.

Even the core of the Primordial Spirit has suffered significant losses.

But his voice remained cold. "Fellow Daoist Kou, our bet has only just begun."

Huntian squinted, keenly catching the little fellow surnamed Qi blurting out "Kou Ziling".

Kou Ziling, ranked third on the current Heaven Ranking?

Such characteristics----

It's actually getting quite close to Forming a Heaven of One's Own!

How could someone with only Dharma Aspect, who has just reached the Human Immortal level, actually touch upon this realm?

Furthermore, this person's aura seems to follow the path of [the Beginning of the One Origin], yet it also seems to be the complete opposite.

That's interesting. It seems it has greatly underestimated the Martial Dao of this era!

Suddenly, Huntian's gaze sharpened as he looked towards a certain spot in the Void.

Even it couldn't help but mutter to itself that there was actually a master among them.

The situation in this small Twin Rivers Commandery is surprisingly unpredictable, making it feel as if it has returned to ancient times, giving rise to the feeling that there is something even stronger—no, something even more sinister!

As expected of the Human Race!

Thinking of this, Huntian quietly took a step back.

It is currently only borrowing the power of the divine will of this lineage; if a real fight were to break out, it could not last long.

Most importantly, it didn't want to cause any big trouble for its fellow fish enthusiasts.

Given their current situation, it would be extremely unwise for them to provoke a Human Immortal with the trait of [Forming a Heaven of One's Own]!

With this in mind, Huntian used his divine will as a cover to disperse his Primordial Spirit and Dharma Aspect, returning to the Niwan Palace of Yu Tunzhou without leaving a trace.

Fortunately, the Blood God Son is here to protect us this time.

Huntian felt slightly relieved and quickly said, "Fellow Daoist, there are still powerful figures lurking in the shadows. It's not a good time to fight again! It would be best if we hid!"

Yu Tunzhou pressed further, "Could that voice just now have been the voice of the Heavenly Demon Kou Ziling?"

"Indeed, it must be him." Huntian exclaimed in admiration, "This person has some skill. It seems that Martial Dao in this world Non-Self previously thought."

Yu Tunzhou's expression turned solemn. This Nine Netherworlds was indeed the Great Sage of the remnant race captured by the Heavenly Demon Kou Ziling. Was Kou Ziling watching every move the latter made?

"Is that hidden expert Kou Ziling, or someone else?"

"It's not Kou Ziling," Huntian said in a deep voice. "The aura of this person hiding in the shadows is somewhat like those old bald monks from the Buddhist School!"

These words put Yu Tunzhou at ease.

Buddhist School master would not stand idly by and watch the Twin Rivers Commandery suffer!

He wondered if it was a powerful figure from the Little Thunderclap Temple deep in the Western Desert.

As they pondered, Helian Tu was also close to being annihilated, body and soul.

With Hun Huntian no longer restraining him, Helian Tu finally had a free hand. Under Kou Ziling's guidance, he abandoned his current physical body and entered into a body prepared for him by Kou Ziling as his Primordial Spirit spirit, thereby escaping the lock of the heavenly lightning.

Kou Ziling's voice rang out with a light laugh, "Nine Netherworlds Daoist Jiuyou, you've caused too much trouble this time. Even if you hadn't asked me for help, I would have had to step in, otherwise I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to keep this wisp of your spirit."

Is this causing too much of a stir?

Helian Tu snorted coldly. Using the power of the Blood God Son to reshape a Blood Sea Dao Body was merely the first step in his plan!

If it weren't for that damned "snake" (a metaphor for a cunning oriole), he would have succeeded by now!

Suddenly, Helian Tu's expression changed drastically. Without hesitation, he abandoned the physical body he had just obtained and his Primordial Spirit vanished into nothingness.

Just as he fled, a dark golden palm descended from above, encompassing an area of a hundred feet. The palm pressed down like the heavens, crushing his physical body and the surrounding Void!

This palm strike embodies the profound principles of heaven and earth, possessing a unique Zen-like charm, so unique that Helian Tu recognized the origin of this palm technique at a glance.

This is the Tathagata Divine Palm!

The highest level of Buddhist School Ultimate Art!

A sigh of regret came from the Void.

"What a pity, what a pity----"

Emerging from the Void was an old beggar, dressed in patched, coarse linen clothes, ragged and shabby. Yet, standing there with his hands behind his back, he exuded an aura of authority that caused the heavens to change color.

His eyes were sharp, constantly trying to detect and lock onto Helian Tu's Primordial Spirit movements.

Looking at that figure, Qi Anmei and Wang Chongyi exchanged a glance, their smiles a mixture of bitterness and relief.

Today's situation is incredibly volatile. I never expected that besides the Blood God and the Great Sage of the Nine Netherworlds, there are other hidden experts in the county city. Now, even the Heavenly Demon Kou Ziling and Old Gang Leader Su have appeared!

With the seemingly cold but warm-hearted Old Gang Leader Su around, Twin Rivers Commandery should be safe!

From the Void came Helian Tu's shocked and furious voice. "Old beggar, do you want to die?"

In today's situation, whether it's the Blood God Son or that powerful member of the Golden-Winged Great Peng Clan, even if they are the ones unaware of the hidden danger, it's still a contest between people of the same level.

But the old beggar in front of him was just a minor Human Immortal nearing the end of his lifespan. In terms of the height of the Great Dao, he was far inferior to Kou Ziling, a later generation hero who even made him take notice.

Old Gang Leader Su narrowed his eyes slightly and chuckled, "This old beggar is easily frightened, so don't try to scare me."

Helian Tu roared in fury, "Kou Ziling, return my true form!"

"Old Master, if I, Kou, and Fellow Nine Netherworlds Jiuyou were to join forces today, do you think we could kill you within ten moves?"

From the Void came Kou Ziling's laughing voice.

He seemed both far away and yet also as if he could appear here at any moment.

Upon hearing this, the old gang leader sighed, "How terrifying! Are all young people these days so frightening?"

But the next moment, a white lotus platform appeared behind him, upon which lay a Golden Body Arhat, hundreds of feet tall, now awake. He stood tall and imposing, emitting a thunderous Thunderclap that seemed to subdue demons. "You wicked creature! Why don't Turn Back and Reach the Shore!"

The third move of the Tathagata Divine Palm: Turn Back and Reach the Shore!

At this moment, the Arhats were like Buddhas, their voices like Thunderclap. The condensed Buddha light transformed into a boundless sea of suffering, pulling Helian Tu into it. Even Kou Ziling, unaware of his surroundings, was shaken, feeling the scene before him shatter, returning to the past, back to those days—

This palm strike was only aimed at Helian Tu and his companion, but the majestic figure of the Golden Body Arhat standing tall between heaven and earth was imprinted in the hearts of all beings, teaching them to cherish the present and the moment.

Huntian, who was struggling to digest the fragments of the Blood God Son's soul, was distracted by this palm strike and couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation.

Although this old man did not possess the characteristics of Kou Ziling's "Forming a Heaven of One's Own," his understanding of the Tathagata Divine Palm was almost on par with the Dao, and he showed a faint tendency to transcend the body of an Arhat!

It couldn't help but mutter to itself, "This old beggar is really something, always saying 'How terrifying,' and 'One palm strike at a time, Tathagata Divine Palm.'"

As Yu Tunzhou looked up and saw this scene, he couldn't help but recall the past of this Old Gang Leader Su.

He was born into wealth and extravagance, but his family fell into ruin and he ended up on the streets. From then on, he strived to improve himself, overcoming various martial arts bottlenecks and eventually reaching the top. However, he refused the court's and other parties' attempts to win him over, giving up his riches and honors to enter the Mortal World and endure all the hardships he encountered.

This person's life seems to be summed up in these four words:

Turn Back and Reach the Shore!

However, in the very next moment...

A cheerful voice shattered everyone's reverie.

"May I ask, venerable leader, where is the shore?"

Old Gang Leader Su laughed heartily, his Dharma Aspect standing tall and majestic, his divine aura filling the heavens and earth. He took a step forward and unleashed another Tathagata Divine Palm!

"Kou brat, wait until I crush you with one palm, then you'll know where the shore is!"

The second move of the Tathagata Divine Palm: The Four Elements Are All Empty!

This palm strike pierced through the Void and the mortal world, seemingly dissolving the earth, fire, wind, and water, reenacting the creation of heaven and earth, and turning the hundred miles in front of the palm into nothingness.

The next moment, his figure flashed and disappeared into the Void.

"Come, come, kid, let me see how much you've improved over the years, using the Great Sage of the Remnant Clan as proof!"

"As Old Gang Leader Su wishes."

A phantom figure seemed to walk from afar, holding a pitch-black sword three feet, three inches, and three-tenths of an inch long. The sword was completely devoid of any patterns, displaying only the purest killing and destruction.

"Nine Netherworlds Daoist Jiuyou, please return."

With a soft command, Helian Tu's remaining Primordial Spirit snorted coldly and, whether willingly or unwillingly, vanished into the black sword.

In an instant, the sword's aura surged, tearing through the surrounding Void, and everything in its path was reduced to annihilation!

Fortunately, as Old Gang Leader Su took the initiative to enter the Void, his figure, carrying a sword, also stepped into the depths of the Void.

Yu Tunzhou gazed at the Void rift that was closing on its own, regretting that he hadn't witnessed the battle. He also knew that if the battle had broken out near Twin Rivers Commandery, the entire Twin Rivers Commandery would have been destroyed by the aftershocks of the battle between the Dharma Aspect.

According to records, battles Dharma Aspect could affect areas thousands of miles away!

At this moment, Wang Chongyi and Qi Anmei also arrived near the Yu Tunzhou.

The three exchanged a glance and smiled simultaneously.

With this, the crisis in Twin Rivers Commandery has finally come to an end!

Before they could say anything, a figure traversed the sky like a shooting star, landing in front of the three of them. His aura was even stronger than that of the Blood God's split spirit not long ago.

Upon seeing this person, Qi Anmei quickly cupped his hands and said, "Your subordinate greets the Marquis Who Guards the West!"

The newcomer waved his hand, his gaze sweeping over Yu Tunzhou, and said in a deep voice, "You are Yu Tunzhou? The young man from the Luo Household, are you here on your behalf to seek help from elsewhere?"

Yu Tunzhou understood immediately. This must be Qin Zang, the Marquis Who Guards the West, the strongest person of the imperial court in the Western Desert, and Grandmaster ranked eighteenth on the Earth Ranking.

"Are you referring to Brother Luo Zichuan, senior?"

"That's right." Qin Zang nodded. "I ran into the siblings on my way here and learned what happened, but unfortunately, I was too late."

"You are all excellent, with chivalrous hearts. After this, I, Qin, will recommend you for commendation!"

His eyes showed appreciation, and he was generous with his praise.

Qi Anmei's lips twitched slightly. She wondered if this man would still be so composed after hearing about the Commandery Prince Qingyang.

We'll discuss the specifics later.

Qin Zang's expression was solemn. "The Heavenly Demon has descended. I must go to the depths of the Void to see if I can assist Old Gang Leader Su. You all continue to oversee the overall situation in Twin Rivers Commandery."

Having said that, he left decisively.

After Qin Zang left, Wang Chongyi cupped his hands and said, "I will return to my residence for the time being."

Qi Anmei nodded and said, "I also have matters to attend to in the county seat. Young Hero Yu, please feel free to come and find me if you need anything!"

At this point, his expression suddenly turned serious. "You two should be careful; I'm afraid this matter is not over yet."

Yu Tunzhou was just about to go find Hua Nongying to chat about life and have a late-night snack when he heard this and couldn't help but frown.

Is there still a chance for things to change today?

Wang Chongyi whispered, "Brother Qi, are you referring to the Golden-Winged Great Peng's Dharma Aspect from earlier?"

Qi Anmei said in a deep voice, "That's right, this one is not to be underestimated. In today's situation, it is the real mantis stalking the cicada, having devoured the Blood God's sliver of consciousness. If it weren't for the Heavenly Demon's descent, even the Great Sage of the Nine Netherworlds would have fallen into its clutches!"

Yu Tunzhou: "----"

Huntian in the Niwan Palace deeply agreed, feeling quite indignant, and secretly made a note of Kou Ziling.
