Huang Hao's avatar had arrived above a forest and observed the surrounding area, where she detected sothing unusual. "This aura, I rember for sure that it belongs to that evil guy.
"Hmm? Huang Hao's avatar found a stone altar in the heart of the forest, with a large circle surrounding it, so she hurriedly went there. Although the stone altar had long been destroyed, she could see so familiar things on it. She imdiately approached one of the stones, picked it up, and examined the runes engraved on it.
"Hmm? How could these runes be in this place? Who built this stone altar and engraved these runes? These two are the Soul-Binding Rune and the Soul-Nurturing Rune." Huang Hao's avatar then examined the other stones from the ruins of the stone altar and discovered many different runes engraved on them, which gave her an uneasy feeling. "If I rember correctly, all these runes are used to maintain a soul that is about to perish, nourish it with Qi, and speed up the reshaping of the body."
Huang Hao's avatar tried to examine every corner of the forest more carefully, and she found a path leading underground, hidden behind several powerful formations. She hurriedly went to that place to check it out, and those formations were no real obstacle for her, especially with the chaos abilities she inherited from Long Hun.
A while later, Huang Hao's avatar had arrived deep in the ground, where she found piles of skeletons of humans, demons, and beasts. Additionally, there was a small pool filled with blood, and she saw many runes surrounding its side.
"Who is using them as sacrifices? What is their purpose in using them as sacrifices?" Huang Hao's avatar squatted at the side of the blood pond and touched the surface. "Could it be that they used them as sacrifices to resurrect Jian Xieshen? Huang Lingzhu incinerated his soul at that ti, and his soul should have disappeared forever from this universe, so there's no way they could resurrect him."
"Is that so?"
Huang Hao's avatar was startled to hear that, and she quickly stood up before looking at the owner of the voice. Her eyes trembled as she stared at the man in front of her, and she quickly used her abilities to protect herself.
The man's appearance is similar to that of other humans, but red runes cover his upper body. He has long hair, a tall, stocky body, and bloody red eyes. A blackish-red aura surrounded his body, emanating a bloodthirsty and evil aura. "Are you surprised to see , Huang Hao? How long have we not seen each other? Millions or billions of years, right?"
"Jian Xieshen... How is this possible? How did you co back to life?" Huang Hao's avatar's voice trembled when she asked that.
"Hahaha." Jian Xieshen laughed at that. "You are correct; I should have died when Huang Lingzhu incinerated my soul. However, the heavens were not willing for to die, so they collected all the pieces of my soul and reshaped my soul. Unfortunately, that bitch's actions caused my soul to beco weak and fragile, and the heavens sealed my soul in this underground cave."
"The heavens." Huang Hao's avatar muttered under her breath, but she didn't believe Jian Xieshen and felt that sothing else was involved in his resurrection.
"My soul awakened after Gui Shitian accidentally discovered this cave and opened the seal." Jian Xieshen then looked at the pile of skeletons. "I taught him to carve these runes, mainly because I needed them to keep my soul from dissipating again. I also taught him many things to strengthen his ghost race, and in return, he helped collect these foolish living beings as sacrifices for to reshape my body. Here I am now, standing in front of you, living and breathing."
'This is really troubleso!' Huang Hao's avatar muttered in her heart as she stared at Jian Xieshen with full vigilance. She had never been afraid of anyone before, but she felt afraid of him. "What do you want?"
"Haha." Jian Xieshen softly laughed. "Naturally, I want to take revenge on all of them, especially Huang Lingzhu. As for you, you did not participate in killing , so I have no grudge against you, and I want you to join . With our combined power and abilities, we can kill the other immortals, and we will rule this universe together. Unfortunately, I can't leave this place yet, and I still have to wait so ti before I can leave here."
"Keep dreaming." Huang Hao's avatar said it with a shake of his head. "I don't have any problems with the other immortals, and I don't have as big ambitions as you. Although I didn't participate in the event that day, I still have a responsibility to stop you, especially since I already promised my master."
Jian Xieshen gave a faint smirk before speaking again. "Speaking of your master, I heard that he died a long ti ago, and Huang Lingzhu killed him. Moreover, she chopped up his body, and soone has inherited his bloodline and so parts of his body."
"Hmm?" Huang Hao's avatar was shocked to hear that, and she wondered how Jian Xieshen could know that much.
"Are you surprised that I know all that?" Jian Xieshen turned toward the stairs. "Your master's successor is in this domain right now, and I have ordered Gui Shitian and his subordinates to capture him. After they bring him to , I will extract your master's bloodline from his body and implant it into my body, and I will devour him alive. This way, I will obtain your master's abilities, and that bitch won't be able to stop from taking over and spreading evil in this universe."
"Heh." Huang Hao's avatar snorted at him. "You can try, but your ambition will end with the death of my master's successor."
Jian Xieshen looked at her with narrowed eyes. "What do you an by that?"
"Don't you already know everything?" Huang Hao's avatar turned the question around in a sarcastic tone. "Moreover, you don't know anything about my master's successor, and he is not as weak as you think. Even if you send Gui Shitian and his subordinates to him, you will never be able to capture him; instead, they will die and beco nutrients for him."
A very long black sword suddenly appeared in Jian Xieshen's right hand, and he pointed it at Huang Hao's avatar. "Since you are unwilling to join , I will force you to submit to . My strength is more than sufficient to defeat you, even though it hasn't reached its peak anymore."
"Hahaha." Huang Hao's avatar laughed with a mocking expression. "Being dead and sealed for so long has made you senile, Jian Xieshen. Back then, I was indeed weaker than you, but millions of years have passed since your death, and many things have changed. If you think you can subdue , you can attack now."
"Hmm?" Jian Xieshen imdiately slashed his sword toward Huang Hao's avatar, but his expression changed as soon as his attack disappeared by itself. "No wonder you are so confident; it turns out that Long Hun passed on his chaos abilities to you. Since I can't subdue you directly, I will use other ans to subdue you, and you will be completely loyal to at that ti."
Huang Hao's avatar raised her eyebrows, but the blood in the pond suddenly moved, binding her hands and feet before pulling her to the center of the pond. Jian Xieshen imdiately activated the runes on the side of the pond, and a thin, transparent do confined her directly.
"Hmm?" Huang Hao's avatar suddenly sensed that the blood entered her body, but she remained calm and spoke to him again. "As I said before, being dead and sealed for so long has made you senile, and you forgot my past habits."
"What are you—" Jian Xieshen stopped talking because Huang Hao's avatar suddenly disappeared from his confinent. "Shit! She's just her avatar!"
"Hahaha." Huang Hao's avatar laughed triumphantly. "You are still as overconfident as in the past, Jian Xieshen. If you had not shown yourself in front of , you might have succeeded in fulfilling your ambitions in the future, but you've made a fatal mistake by appearing in front of . My avatar's strength is not enough to fight you, but I assure you that you will disappear forever soon."
Jian Xieshen clenched his fists tightly, and the muscles on his face bulged out. "Fuck! I underestimated her."
A portal suddenly appeared behind Jian Xieshen, and a veiled woman walked out from within. "What a foolish guy! I had already forbidden you from acting rashly, but you made a fatal mistake by appearing in front of her, and your recklessness disrupted my plans."
Jian Xieshen imdiately turned to her. "Why did you co here?"
"If I didn't co here, you will die soon, especially since Huang Hao's real body and Huang Lingzhu are on their way to this domain." Jian Xieshen frowned at that, but the woman flicked her fingers, and a faint aura enveloped him. "It's not ti for us to face them yet, and I'm still trying to free so people from 'hell', so I'll take you away from here. Once I manage to free them and your strength has been fully recovered, we'll descend to the upper realms and slaughter those arrogant immortals."
The veiled woman imdiately pulled Jian Xieshen into the portal and disappeared from that place.
Before long, Huang Hao's avatar appeared in that place again, and her expression was extrely serious. "Who is that woman? Why do I feel a familiar aura from her? Is she the one who revived Jian Xieshen? Who were the people she was referring to earlier?"
Huang Hao's avatar imdiately walked out and destroyed the underground cave, so Jian Xieshen would not be able to use it again.
