Chapter 1233: Chapter 1232: The Goal of the Evil Demon King, Ji Jiuning is Dead (First Update)
After the aftermath of the explosion settled, the figures of Mi Tian the young monk and Wang Nu disappeared into the void.
They directly vanished without a trace, leaving only the faint remnants of the Sea of Blood sweeping through the void.
“Dead… dead?” In the White Emperor’s Tomb, everyone gasped deeply, soone asked in a trembling voice.
“Just… died like that?”
In the next mont, the fragnted images in the void shattered, and the stone stele in the White Emperor’s Tomb tightly sealed shut.
The death of everyone ant the Battlefield of Ultimate Confrontation had concluded, with no one passing through.
For a mont, silence engulfed the tomb, and no one mocked Xu Zii anymore, instead looking at each other in bewildernt.
………
The Hell Sea churned violently, and finally, waves surged high into the sky before splitting apart in the void.
A man dressed in a blood robe sat cross-legged and ascended from within the Sea of Blood towards the space above.
The man’s hair cascaded down his broad shoulders, the sides of his hair were black, but the center was stark white.
His features were resolute, eyes deep, nose straight, and lips carried a slightly purplish hue.
The mont he opened his eyes, the heavens and earth turned upside down, and the Sea of Blood surged in torrents, piercing through the entire void like a tidal force.
“Evil Demon King,” a voice sounded from above him—it was the Moon-picking Fairy.
The man in the blood robe raised his head and glanced at her. The Endless Void seed to press down with imnse pressure, as if it would crush the Moon-picking Fairy’s body into fragnts.
“I am the ssenger,” the Moon-picking Fairy quickly retrieved the sacred token and said.
Seeing the token, the oppressive force surrounding her gradually dissipated. She gasped for air, sweat streaming down her forehead.
It was as though she had just walked through the gates of Hell.
“Speak,” the man in the blood robe replied indifferently.
“Your resurrection is to kill soone,” the Moon-picking Fairy waved her right hand, and Spiritual Energy converged in the void.
Finally, it ford a portrait of a man.
If Xu Zii were present, he would imdiately recognize that the man in the portrait was him.
“And then?” The man in the blood robe glanced at the portrait and asked.
“That’s all,” the Moon-picking Fairy replied.
“That’s all?” The man in the blood robe said with an intrigued smile.
“You brought back just to kill one person?”
“After you kill him, you’ll be free,” the Moon-picking Fairy responded.
“Is that your intention, or…?” The man’s gaze turned sharply as he asked.
“Naturally, it’s the will of those above,” the Moon-picking Fairy said, tossing the token over.
“Deal,” the man in the blood robe stretched out his hand to grab the token. In the next mont, his figure had already vanished.
………
The crowd erged from the White Emperor’s Tomb.
This year, every participant had been completely wiped out, catching everyone off guard.
“Young Master Xu, did you know sothing, and that’s why you left early?” Chu Feiyang, as the person in charge, naturally asked first.
“No, I was just timid, a cowardly turtle,” Xu Zii shook his head and smiled.
The few who had previously mocked Xu Zii turned pale and looked embarrassed upon hearing this.
“This isn’t the ti for petty squabbles,” the abbot from the Monster Temple replied coldly.
“With such an entity appearing in the Battlefield of Ultimate Confrontation, none of us can remain unscathed.”
“Looking at the situation now, even Great Emperors are like ants before him. He must undoubtedly be at the Great Saint level,” a monk from Ciyuan Temple nodded in agreent.
“If we don’t deal with him, we won’t be able to enter the White Emperor Mountain.”
“Patriarch Chu, your Chu Family has always been friendly with the White Emperor. Do you know what that entity is?”
The crowd debated fervently, and Chu Feiyang could only reply, “This matter is ancient. I can only consult the ancestor.”
“Then we shall stay in the White Emperor City for a few days and await an answer,” the group said.
Following Chu Feiyang, they returned to the White Emperor City, where Chu Feiyang ordered accommodations for everyone.
After everyone had dispersed, Jiang Mozi approached Xu Zii.
Smiling, he said, “Young Master Xu, was there sothing inconvenient for you to say before? Can you tell now?
I promise to keep it confidential.”
“There’s nothing inconvenient about it,” Xu Zii said.
“After the White Emperor left, the White Emperor Mountain has actually been under soone’s control,
a remnant left by the White Emperor himself.”
“We’ve long suspected as much,” Jiang Mozi nodded.
“But we’ve never encountered this remnant.”
“The Evil Demon King released this ti is precisely the doing of this remnant. As for his purpose, I don’t know,” Xu Zii shook his head.
“What I do know is his strength must be outstanding among Great Saints. Dean Jiang, it’s better not to intervene recklessly.”
“Thank you for the advice,” Jiang Mozi nodded.
Having this information, he gained a clearer picture.
As the crowd returned from the White Emperor’s Tomb, the sky gradually darkened.
The nights in the Ghost God Realm were known to be dangerous for venturing out, so everyone stayed indoors early.
Xu Zii pondered over the matter of the Evil Demon King but could not find any leads.
He had the persistent feeling that a powerful hand was manipulating everything behind the scenes.
The entire night passed silently,
and as dawn broke the next day, Xu Zii had just stepped out of his room when he heard the commotion outside.
“Ji Jiuning is dead,” Jiang Mozi relayed the news to Xu Zii.
Xu Zii paused for a mont. Yesterday, Ji Jiuning had safely returned to the White Emperor City with him. How did she suddenly die overnight?
He wasn’t grief-stricken, but the situation seed peculiar.
When Xu Zii arrived at the courtyard where Ji Jiuning had rested the previous night, it had already been sealed off.
The major factions had also arrived early on.
Xu Zii didn’t see Ji Jiuning’s corpse.
Only traces of blood remained on the ground.
“What happened? Soone was killed right here in Chu Manor?” Xu Zii approached and asked.
“No idea,” Chu Feiyang shook his head grimly.
“Did she leave her room last night?”
“Leave her room for what? She wouldn’t be foolish enough to defy the rules,” the abbot from the Monster Temple replied.
“If you ask , there are people targeting the Northern Hill’s mbers, hunting them right under our noses.”
“Without any clues, let’s report this to Northern Hill and let them handle it themselves,” soone suggested nearby.
“I’ve already sent word,” Chu Feiyang replied.
“Has Patriarch Chu consulted about last night’s events?” Wu Daozi inquired.
“I did, but the ancestor doesn’t know what that entity is,” Chu Feiyang shook his head.
“Which ancestor did Patriarch Chu consult?” Wu Daozi pressed further.
“What? Dean Wu, you don’t trust ?” Chu Feiyang countered.
“It’s not that. The White Emperor’s matters are ancient, and ordinary people might struggle to know the secrets,”
Wu Daozi smiled. “If it were the Madman Ancestor, we would be speechless, naturally.”
The Madman he referred to was, of course, Crazy Chu.
The Chu Family mber who had a close friendship with the White Emperor in the past.
“Madman Ancestor is in seclusion. I can’t et him,” Chu Feiyang replied bluntly.
“Let’s not create unnecessary tension,” soone interjected humorously.
“In my opinion, we should investigate the White Emperor’s Tomb again and determine the Evil Demon King’s objectives before acting.”
