"Kill him. He deceived my mother and caused her miserable death. He deserves to go to hell!" Chao Yangzi said coldly.
"Hahaha, hell? Hahahaha! You will all become food for this Lord's demonic bird!" Dongfang Taiyi brushed past the slight pain he felt upon hearing of Zhu Zhijing's death. Women die, they die, foolish woman.
*Puff!* The sound of a sharp object entering flesh was heard. Chao Xiangzi's Azure Hidden Sword unhesitatingly pierced the location of Dongfang Taiyi's heart. Dongfang Taiyi looked at Chao Xiangzi, his lips twitching. As expected, karma repaid itself; this sword had finally been returned. At the time, he had felt a pang of regret when he stabbed Chao Xiangzi, still holding onto the thought that Xiang'er might be his son. It was indeed a delusion!
Once the Azure Hidden Sword was drawn, the soul was locked, unable to escape.
Ju Que immediately locked onto Dongfang Taiyi's soul. As expected, this person came from the upper realm, but only a phantom image was seen. This was a strand of a clone. Ju Que annihilated it without hesitation. Dongfang Taiyi's corpse turned to ashes before everyone's eyes.
High in the Nine Heavens, the man in black robes, who was drinking tea, felt a stir in his divine consciousness, and a puppet token on his body fell. The person sitting opposite picked up the token:
"Failed? The puppet token for the clone is cracked."
"It matters not. This clone actually developed self-awareness and became entangled with a mortal woman!" The man in black robes, Saint Qing Niu, sneered. He had only separated a wisp of consciousness and refined it into the puppet token. He did not expect this puppet clone to have such a fortuitous encounter!
"Oh, this is quite interesting!"
"Interesting? Unfortunately, the mission still failed. That person seems to be returning!"
"It matters not, it matters not. This Lord wishes to meet this legendary goddess, renowned throughout the God Realm! To see what her demeanor is like! Millions of years have passed, and the God Realm is too boring!"
Ju Que suddenly sneezed. Who was thinking of her? Ju Que muttered to herself. Dongfang Taiyi was dead; all that remained was to deal with Gui Che. Although she still hadn't figured out who was plotting against her, they were all people from the upper realm. Her memories were not fully restored; perhaps she would only know what happened after ascending.
The last time she spoke with Senior Hei Hun, he suddenly reminded her that there was a seal deep within her soul. She didn't even know about this. Her divine consciousness's deep sea was sealed. How much trust must one have to be sealed like that?
"Perhaps you sealed it yourself." This was what Senior Hei Hun reminded her of before falling into a deep slumber.
"Sister, what are you thinking about?" Xiao Bai asked curiously, seeing Ju Que lost in thought.
Ju Que snapped back to reality and smiled sheepishly at the gazes of everyone looking at her.
"I'm thinking about how to kill this Gui Che!" Ju Que gave an excuse.
"That's not advisable!" Tian Ji and the Old Man with Double Pupils suddenly appeared.
"Little fairy, although this Gui Che has committed evil deeds in this world, it was once a divine beast in the underworld that guided mortal souls. It possesses great fortune and great merit. Whoever kills it will bear the karma," the Old Man with Double Pupils said sternly.
"Venerable One, Senior is right! We must help Gui Che release its demonic power, restore its clarity, or seal it," Tian Ji said with a grave expression.
"Ha! This ugly thing, it has eaten so many cultivators, and its evil deeds are not enough to kill it? We can't kill it, and can only seal it? But if the seal breaks, and we are not here, and it comes out to commit more evil, then whose fault will it be!" Xiao Bai said indignantly. That ugly thing even wanted to eat this young lady! Everyone knew that she, Long Hu Hu, held grudges! Back then, when that stinky fish Qi Mo offended her, she had fought him for tens of thousands of years!
"Kill it!" Qi Mo suddenly spoke!
Ju Que rubbed her forehead. These two guys were super vengeful!
"Hu Hu! I'll help you!" Ji Wu Ye could no longer stand Gui Che's intentions towards Long Hu Hu.
"Brother Wu Ye, you are the best!" Xiao Bai said with a smile, holding Ji Wu Ye's hand.
Ju Que looked at Xiao Bai, who was acting so coquettishly in an instant, and felt speechless. Then she thought that killing it would be fine. Having devoured so many mortals and children, its merits and demerits had long since balanced out. But the problem now was that she couldn't kill it. Her strength was insufficient unless she stopped suppressing her cultivation. While she was contemplating a strategy, someone suddenly appeared from the void.
"Master, your subordinate is late!" a pleasant male voice rang out.
Ju Que looked at the newcomer in surprise: "Xuanyuan Che, you are out of seclusion?"
"Yes. Che's aptitude is dull, and it took me so long to cultivate the Xuanyuan clan's techniques. It is all thanks to the Dragon God's assistance," Xuanyuan Che said with a clear and grateful smile.
"Good! Congratulations! Why don't I see Xue Niang?" Ju Que asked curiously. When they first met these two, they were deeply in love, inseparable.
"Xue Niang has not yet come out of seclusion. In a few more days, Master will surely be able to see her."
As they were speaking, Gui Che, within the formation, suddenly struggled violently, and the golden runes vibrated intensely.
"Not good, Venerable One! This formation can no longer restrain it. With Dongfang Taiyi dead and no one to suppress it, its ferocity has greatly increased!"
Chao Xiangzi looked at the formation, which was like a net cast across the sky, with a grave expression.
As soon as he finished speaking, the formation shattered with a loud roar, and countless golden runes broke into pieces and disappeared.
Gui Che's black and gold cocoon split open, revealing a pair of enormous black wings that spread to cover the sky and the sun. Then, nine heads appeared. Yes, the head that Ju Que had cut off had grown back. It seemed to have evolved now. Suddenly, dark clouds churned in the sky, thick layers of clouds gathered, and thunder rumbled. The Heavenly Dao seemed to have been offended by this ferocious beast. Streaks of heavenly lightning descended from the sky.
"This sinful beast is undergoing tribulation!" Patriarch Chao Tian exclaimed.
"That's right, it has advanced. It's unexpected that with Dongfang Taiyi's death, it has benefited from disaster. Its ghost wings have grown, the wings it uses to transport souls have taken shape, and it will be able to fly. At that time, it will directly shatter the void and ascend, and no one will be able to deal with it," Bi Fang never expected this beast to gain such fortune. He had sealed it here, thinking no one knew, but who knew that Dongfang Taiyi had secretly lifted the seal and kept it for many years! Now this beast was tainted with impurities, its divine nature defiled, and it had indeed become troublesome!
After he came to this world, his cultivation was suppressed, and his spiritual vision's range was greatly limited, which led to the disaster of today!
"It matters not. This Gui Che will be weakened during the heavenly tribulation. This is our opportunity," Ju Que said, having calmed down now.
"Venerable One is right, strike it while it's down!" Feng Chu thought the same as Ju Que.
