As Xiao Zheng delivered the final blow, the Saintess of the Demon God Sect finally closed her eyes.
On her face, a trace of relief appeared.
Perhaps in her dying monts, the Saintess had regrets, but the cold poison had entered her body, even if Xiao Zheng did not kill her, she wouldn’t have survived. The cold poison had already destroyed her internal organs, and the imnse energy had burst all the ridians in her body.
Facing such a situation, even if gods descended, she couldn’t be saved.
"In the next life, rember to be born into a better family."
Xiao Zheng looked at the Saintess’s body gradually being covered by ice, his expression revealed so sighs.
Then, to completely release her, Xiao Zheng used Gang Qi to transform a fla, which he then threw onto her body. The blazing fla lted the ice while turning her body into ashes, which then scattered with the wind.
Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth.
Everything has settled...
After standing still in the ruins for a mont, Xiao Zheng was ready to leave.
However, at that mont, he felt a sudden, inexplicable unease in his heart.
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly, and his gaze fell to the ground.
Right at his feet lay a fragnt of the recently exploded Demon God Statue, pitch-black but lightly covered with frost. Strangely, there seed to be an eerie power continuously growing from this fragnt.
It was as if it was summoning sothing.
Soon after, more fragnts began to respond.
The fragnts covered in frost, like blue gemstones, lay on the dark ground, resembling stars shining in the night sky. They glowed, illuminating one another.
"Unexpectedly, the power of this Demon God Statue wasn’t fully absorbed by the Saintess."
"The remnant power seems to show signs of revival."
Xiao Zheng squatted down and picked up one of the fragnts.
To his surprise, the fragnt was incredibly cold, as if he was holding a thousand-year-old ice. But at that mont, a strange feeling suddenly surged in his heart.
It was as if he was connected to this fragnt, able to sense the locations of other fragnts through it.
To verify his hypothesis, Xiao Zheng slowly closed his eyes.
Then, to his excitent and curiosity, he could indeed sense the locations of the other fragnts. These fragnts were scattered everywhere, gradually forming a pattern resembling a starry sky in his mind.
A total of one hundred and eight fragnts.
Not one more, not one less.
When Xiao Zheng used the fragnt in his hand to locate other fragnts, a phenonon occurred again. The fragnts automatically joined together, restoring the statue’s original appearance seamlessly, without any signs of past damage.
"How miraculous is this?"
"After shattering, it can still heal itself? What material is this thing made of?"
Looking at the reford Demon God Statue before him, Xiao Zheng remained uncertain and suspicious in his heart.
The statue was clearly only one ter high, yet it gave him the illusion of towering over everything, appearing very divine.
After observing the statue for a few monts, Xiao Zheng began to form a new hypothesis.
If the statue’s fragnts can sense other fragnts, then shouldn’t this statue be able to sense the locations of other statues?
This hypothesis, once ford, lingered like a nightmare in Xiao Zheng’s mind.
He was sowhat excited, thinking that if his guess was correct, he could use this statue to sense other statues’ locations and pinpoint all of the Demon God Sect’s power distribution points!
This includes the main altar’s location!
Xiao Zheng was excited, then quickly began experinting.
Like the Saintess, he slowly placed his hands on the statue and began to sense. As ti passed and he was about to give up, the strange feeling he had while holding the fragnt finally appeared!
The energy released by the Demon God Statue pointed further south!
Xiao Zheng opened his eyes and looked as if he could see the Demon God Sect’s hidden main altar among the hundred thousand mountains of Cloud Border!
"It worked!"
"I can’t believe my hypothesis was correct!"
"The energy released by this statue indeed guided to the direction of other Demon God Statues, but all the energies uniformly point towards Cloud Border! Although it’s not vague, it’s very broad and doesn’t tell the precise location!"
"Could the long distance have weakened the statue’s sensing ability?"
Despite his excitent, Xiao Zheng felt a bit regretful.
He was excited that the statue did reveal the direction of the Demon God Sect’s main altar. Regretful as he only obtained a general direction, without a more specific address.
"Looks like I need to find ti to head to the Southern Border."
Xiao Zheng thought quietly to himself.
Before heading south, he must not lose this statue. Perhaps, once he reaches the Southern Border, the statue could provide him with more assistance.
Having made up his mind, Xiao Zheng hoisted the statue, then left the battlefield that had beco ruins.
His speed was swift, and within a few minutes, he arrived at the Sky Net headquarters.
Upon seeing Xiao Zheng carrying an oddly shaped statue, the Sky Net mbers who were training and patrolling couldn’t help but pause. Xiao Zheng ignored the bewildered gazes and walked straight into Long Qie’s office.
However, to his surprise, Long Qie wasn’t there.
As Xiao Zheng hesitated over where to place the statue, Evil Eyes, who had received the news, hurried over: "Mr. Xiao, I heard you brought back a statue... Just what is this thing?"
Seeing the Demon God Statue, Evil Eyes couldn’t help but frown.
He sensed a sinister aura emanating from the statue.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng recounted his recent encounter to Evil Eyes.
Upon learning the details, a look of surprise appeared on Evil Eyes’ face: "The Saintess of the Demon God Sect actively sought you? Looks like our recent assault has made the Demon God Sect feel threatened."
"It’s normal for them to feel threatened," Xiao Zheng said. "My only concern now is if they’ll act desperately. After all, their Saintess died by my hand."
"If the Demon God Sect lashes out recklessly in retaliation, I’m worried it might lead to uncontrollable catastrophes."
Evil Eyes nodded in agreent and added, "The Demon God Sect’s issue truly needs to be resolved quickly. If we keep delaying, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"Mr. Xiao, didn’t you say you sensed the general direction of the Demon God Sect’s main altar through the statue? Why don’t I set out for the Southern Border tonight?"
Upon hearing the suggestion, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but ponder.
