The deeds of the Great Demon left Ji Fenglie thoroughly shocked.
Back then, he too provoked the Ten Great Families to act, resulting in his current predicant. However, the Ten Great Families only dispatched their own strong mbers to besiege him, without sending the Celestial Kings.
Yet the Great Demon truly conquered the Ancestral Court, compelling the Celestial Kings to personally hunt him down — an act of madness far surpassing anything he himself had done.
Perhaps it was the shared experience of being besieged by the Ten Great Families, perhaps it was the confinent in the Ancestral Court, but sothing stirred in him—a certain inexplicable sympathy for the Great Demon.
When Ji Fenglie re-entered the Great Cave Heaven and arrived at the Tear Luo Desert, he suddenly found Chen Guan, clad in armor, not far behind him.
"Now you understand, killing one Celestial King is simply not enough for ," Chen Guan said lightly.
"How do I know if you’re truly the Great Demon Qing Bai?" Ji Fenglie asked.
"Whether I am Qing Bai or not doesn’t matter. In this world, anything can be false except one thing," Chen Guan responded calmly.
"What thing?" Ji Fenglie inquired.
"Strength," Chen Guan replied indifferently. "I’m now an enemy of the Ten Great Families. Although I have the capability to kill a Celestial King, if I were to target one, the other Celestial Kings would surely co to their aid. Without the strength to defeat the Ten Celestial Kings, proving my power by killing a single Celestial King would be quite difficult."
"So essentially, you’re just boasting," Ji Fenglie countered, though his tone was less harsh than before.
"Is it difficult to prove my strength? Within this Great Cave Heaven, there are Secret Spirits with power matching the Celestial Kings. Simply point one out, and I’ll kill it to show you," Chen Guan asserted.
Ji Fenglie was taken aback, even though Chen Guan’s statent seed overly presumptuous.
Many formidable Secret Spirits lurk within the Great Cave Heaven. Even the Ten Great Families, despite their Celestial Kings, occupy only a small territory within.
For example, the Ji Family could only vanquish the Celestial Eye Evil God after Ji Changsheng’s breakthrough, claiming the Evil God Mountain.
And there are nurous Secret Spirits akin to the Celestial Eye Evil God within the Great Cave Heaven.
Chen Guan asked Ji Fenglie to point out one he could slay, a claim that seed utterly arrogant.
Not to ntion the abilities of those Secret Spirits, which Chen Guan might not fully understand — let alone counter.
The Great Cave Heaven’s top-tier Secret Spirits are beings of high wisdom, commanding nurous powerful Secret Spirits. An individual confronting such odds could easily et their downfall, even a Celestial King wouldn’t make such claims lightly.
"If I ask you to kill the Tearless Asura, could you do it?" Ji Fenglie asked casually.
The Tearless Asura was as formidable as the Celestial Eye Evil God, soone even Ji Changsheng would avoid provoking, let alone slaying.
"A re Tearless Asura, an easy kill — what’s difficult about that?" Chen Guan said, turning away, vanishing instantly like a phantom.
Ji Fenglie’s ntion of the Tearless Asura was within Chen Guan’s expectations.
Near the Ji Family territory, besides the Celestial Eye Evil God, there was only the Tearless Asura — these were the ones Ji Fenglie should be aware of.
Thus, when Ji Fenglie spoke of the Tearless Asura, Chen Guan turning to leave fitted perfectly with his plans.
The Book Hall left by Ji Changsheng contains records of so capabilities of the Tearless Asura.
In fact, Chen Guan had contemplated targeting the Tearless Asura before. Besides potentially acquiring pets, Secret Skills, Secret Techniques, and other benefits from killing the Tearless Asura, there was another key advantage: the subordinates of the Tearless Asura resided in Hundred Herbs Valley, a place Chen Guan had long coveted.
Yet there was no record of the Hundred Herbs Monk in the Book Hall.
Even as the Tearless Asura is docunted, the abilities of the Hundred Herbs Monk were absent — a revelation that forced Chen Guan to suppress his greed, refraining from assaulting Hundred Herbs Valley directly.
Conversely, upon knowing the Secret Law and one Secret Collection of the Tearless Asura, only two Secret Collections and secret treasures remained unknown, posing a lesser threat to Chen Guan.
Chen Guan had long devised plans to eliminate the Tearless Asura, then use Zhao Cai to perform Petification.
After transforming it into a pet, he would venture into Hundred Herbs Valley alongside the Tearless Asura to subdue the Hundred Herbs Monk — thus minimizing risk.
Utilizing this to provoke Ji Fenglie could achieve dual objectives.
Seeing Chen Guan leaving abruptly, Ji Fenglie promptly set off toward the Tearless Asura’s domain.
He wanted to see if Qing Bai, the Great Demon, truly dared to battle the Tearless Asura or was rely fooling him.
Ji Fenglie resolved that if Chen Guan truly dared to engage the Tearless Asura, regardless of the outco, he might consider collaborating with him.
Soone as arrogant and unyielding as Ji Fenglie was unlikely to submit to others — even if aware of Chen Guan’s superior strength and shared enemy, he would choose collaboration over subordination.
From a distance, Ji Fenglie saw a torrent of blood-red light at Tearless Abyss — the battle had evidently comnced — accelerating toward Tearless Abyss.
This epic confrontation was one he wasn’t about to miss.
Such a battle not only aided his realm ascension and combat skills but also provided a chance to asure Chen Guan’s capabilities.
By discerning his abilities, he could find ways to counter him.
No power is invincible; every strength and ability has counterasures.
But when Ji Fenglie entered Tearless Abyss, he was utterly dumbfounded.
Having sighted blood-red bursts within Tearless Abyss, triggering intense waves, he presud the battle had erupted.
He thought he could casually watch within Tearless Abyss.
Yet within Tearless Abyss, there was no combat occurring, but rather the Tearless Asura leading a crowd of powerful Secret Spirits, hovering above, all glaring angrily at him.
Below, the gates of the grottoes lay shattered.
"Damn... That bastard tricked ... He’s after my life..." Not seeing Chen Guan, Ji Fenglie instantly realized, wanting to employ the Thunder Escape Technique in flight.
But it was too late; as his Thunder Escape Technique activated, he sensed an enormous suction force behind him, pulling him, rendering him to move through the air at a snail’s pace, unable to escape Tearless Abyss.
Turning to see the enraged Tearless Asura and nurous Secret Spirits, Ji Fenglie’s forehead beaded with sweat.
