"I'm really not Long Yu, you've mistaken me for someone else." Zhou Hong was getting a bit annoyed.
"Alright, I don't have time for your nonsense. Come back with me immediately. If you dare to do it, you must face the consequences."
"Go back where?" Zhou Hong asked, confused.
"Nonsense, of course, back to the immortal realm. Li Tianliang commissioned me to arrest you, so naturally, I must bring you before him. How he decides to skin you alive is his business."
Zhou Hong breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he wasn't killed immediately, there was still a chance to survive.
Just as Zhou Hong was about to say something else, the Daoist Tianji reached out and a powerful gravitational force instantly pulled Zhou Hong into his body, or more accurately, into his sub-world.
That's right, this Daoist Tianji actually possessed a sub-world.
The next moment, Zhou Hong felt as if he had traversed dimensions and appeared in a vast desert.
"Where is this?" Zhou Hong asked, looking bewildered.
"Fool, this is the opponent's sub-world." His grandfather's voice echoed in Zhou Hong's mind. He didn't know if his grandfather's presence would be detected by the other party, but he couldn't worry about that now. If Zhou Hong didn't find a way to save himself, he would surely die.
"But why does this sub-world of his feel so small!" Although Zhou Hong hadn't flown into the sky, he could immediately sense how pitifully small this sub-world was.
"His is the smallest sub-world, you could also say... a newly formed sub-world, in its embryonic state. Its area is only a few hundred kilometers."
"So small!"
"Yes, which is why... your luck has arrived." Zhou Hong's grandfather smiled slightly.
"What do you mean?"
"His sub-world is in an embryonic state, which makes it extremely unstable. It wouldn't be so easy to seize from the outside, but if you are inside it, and you yourself possess a more powerful sub-world, then it's very easy to seize."
"Seize?"
"Yes."
Zhou Hong's heart trembled. There was actually a chance to seize it. Even though it was a very small sub-world, a mosquito's leg, however small, is still meat.
"But if I seize it, can I escape? Won't she know that I have a more powerful sub-world, and I'll have no way out?" Zhou Hong suddenly became worried. If his sub-world were exposed, it would be even more dangerous. He might have been taken back before, but if it was exposed, he might be killed on the spot.
"Silly boy, don't worry. After you fuse and take away his sub-world, he will be extremely weak for several days."
"Ah!" Zhou Hong was overjoyed. This was too good to be true.
"Hurry up. Fuse it instantly and unleash all your world power. His embryonic sub-world will be fused and taken by you in one go."
"Okay!" Without a second word, Zhou Hong instantly followed his grandfather's instructions and released his stellar power. Sure enough, in the next second, Zhou Hong's sub-world fused with the opponent's embryonic world.
Simultaneously, Daoist Tianji suddenly let out a scream and fell straight from the sky to the ground. He had been flying back to the immortal realm at maximum speed, but now it was as if his soul had suffered a severe blow.
"How could this be!" After falling from the sky, Daoist Tianji was dizzy and his body felt as if it had suffered a very serious internal injury, or more precisely, a soul injury. It felt as if something vital had been violently ripped from his soul, making him unable to even fly.
Zhou Hong also instantly appeared on the ground.
"Hahaha, my grandfather didn't lie to me!" Zhou Hong burst into laughter. Seeing Daoist Tianji lying on the ground, at his mercy, he laughed heartily. He had thought he was doomed this time, but unexpectedly, heaven had not abandoned him.
"How could this be? Long Yu, what exactly did you do to me?" Daoist Tianji's face was filled with panic. He clearly understood his current predicament.
"Hmph, I've told you, I'm not Long Yu, yet you're still so self-righteous. You can't even tell if I'm Long Yu in disguise. You kept saying I was just to show off and appear strong. What a fool."
Daoist Tianji now had to believe Zhou Hong wasn't Long Yu. Because at this point, if he really were Long Yu, there would be no need to lie anymore.
"You really aren't Long Yu. Who are you, and what did you do to me?"
"Silly fellow, you don't even know what I did to you. You took me into your sub-world. Unfortunately, your sub-world is still in its embryonic state. Coincidentally, I also have a sub-world, and mine has even generated world power. Therefore, I could easily fuse your embryonic world. After I fused it, you would instantly become very weak. It would probably take you three to five days to recover."
"You... you scoundrel, who exactly are you?"
"Hmph, I've already told you my name is Zhou Hong, and I'm from the Demonic Cultivation Realm. I'm a demonic cultivator. How many times do you need me to tell you?"
"No, no!" Daoist Tianji found it hard to accept. Not only had he found the wrong person, but he had also found someone whose heaven-defying nature was no less than Long Yu's, possibly even surpassing him. What kind of luck was this? After finally obtaining a sub-world, not only did he lose it, but he might even lose his life. He was unwilling, truly unwilling!
"Stop shouting. Even if you shout until your throat is raw, no one will come to save you," Zhou Hong snorted lightly.
"Friend Zhou Hong, we have no prior enmity. Can you let me go? After all, you've already obtained the sub-world." Daoist Tianji pleaded.
"Old mystic, you have beautiful fantasies, but reality is cruel. You didn't distinguish between right and wrong, and before even knowing who I was, you wanted to drag me back. Now you want me to let you go. Do you think I, Zhou Hong, am a good person? I am a demonic cultivator. In the world of demonic cultivators, there is no benevolence or morality. We'll do anything to gain benefits."
"What benefits do you want? As long as it's within my power, I will satisfy you," Daoist Tianji said hastily. He seemed to be stalling for time, hoping for an opportunity to turn the tables.
At this moment, Zhou Hong asked his grandfather in his mind whether to kill him or not.
"Grandpa, should I spare his life? Can we find a way to turn him into a puppet?"
"Are you being foolish? You've finally escaped danger, and you want to stir up more trouble? Get rid of him quickly."
"Alright!" Zhou Hong felt a little regretful. After all, he was such a powerful immortal cultivator. If he could be made useful, it would be ideal. But for now, Zhou Hong couldn't handle it.
"Die!" In the next second, Zhou Hong swung his sword, and Daoist Tianji's head instantly rolled to the ground.
