Chapter 508: Colluding with the Abyss Demon, Anbei Tiancan and Anbei Diqu

Hong Jishi's gaze burned like a torch, fixed on the newcomer, and the murderous intent on his face grew ever stronger.

"Shi Jing Laotou, I won't waste words with you. I'm here today not because of the turmoil in Shadow Transformation Nation," his voice was icy, as if it could freeze the surrounding air.

Shi Jingye heard this and silently breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it wasn't aimed at Shadow Transformation Nation, it would be easy to handle.

He had long heard of Hong Jishi's reputation and methods, and knew that once this God of Killing went berserk, it was no joke.

"Then, may I ask Lord Hong Shen, what exactly has the Black Dragon Society offended you for? I am willing to have them make reparations and apologize to you, to settle the matter."

Shi Jingye tried to negotiate with Hong Jishi in a conciliatory tone.

However, Hong Jishi merely gave him a cold glance, a mocking smile curling at the corner of his mouth, "Reparations and apologies? Do I need those? The Black Dragon Society colluded with the Abyss Demon; that is their capital crime!"

Shi Jingye's complexion changed, and an ominous foreboding rose in his heart.

He hadn't expected this to be the reason. Hong Jishi has always harbored a deep hatred for the Abyss Demon.

"Lord Hong Shen, do you have concrete evidence?" Shi Jingye clung to a sliver of hope, trying to find a way out.

Hong Jishi gave a cold laugh, "Evidence? I never need evidence. The Black Dragon Society colluded with the Abyss Demon; that is a fact, no further words needed."

Shi Jingye's face grew even more sullen; he knew he had no way out. Hong Jishi's overbearing strength left him with nothing to argue.

He fell silent for a moment, then helplessly pointed in a direction, "The Black Dragon Society's manor is right there; Lord Hong Shen, feel free to proceed."

Hong Jishi said nothing more, only bearing

the chilling murderous intent, and flew toward the Black Dragon Society's manor.

The manor lay at the foot of a mountain outside Yingkong City, its surroundings tranquil, originally a peaceful place.

But at this moment, the atmosphere grew tense due to Hong Jishi's arrival.

The mountain was blanketed in white snow, forming a stark contrast with the manor's lush greenery.

Yet this scenery held no appeal for Hong Jishi. In his eyes there was only murderous intent, only hatred toward the Black Dragon Society.

Shi Jingye watched Hong Jishi's departing silhouette and couldn't help but sigh.

He knew this turmoil could no longer be quelled. The fate of the Black Dragon Society was already sealed.

At that moment, within the Black Dragon Society's manor, several figures sensed the commotion outside. They felt Hong Jishi's overwhelming Divine-level aura and the chilling murderous intent. They knew they had nowhere to escape.

Among the Divine-level Strongmen present, every one was of low or middle tier. They were clearly not unfamiliar with Hong Jishi; upon seeing him, terror instantly flashed across their faces.

Hong Jishi's gaze was like a blade; with a single sweep, it left them mute as cold cicadas, daring not a hint of resistance.

Hong Jishi hovered in the air, overlooking the Black Dragon Society's manor below.

Inside the manor, crowds swarmed, including top professionals, yet before this Divine-level Strongman they all seemed insignificant.

"Anbei Tiancan, get out here!" Hong Jishi's voice rolled like thunder, shaking the entire manor.

His gaze fixed on a room within the manor, where a Divine-level Strongman's aura lingered.

Jiang Chen stood aside, his brows slightly furrowed. He sensed that the room contained more than one

Divine-level Strongman's aura, which raised a hint of caution in his heart.

At that moment, the door opened slowly, and two people stepped out side by side. Both exuded a Divine-level Strongman's aura, and astonishingly, their appearances were identical.

Hong Jishi sneered, "Anbei Diqu, you're here too." His tone carried a hint of contempt and mockery.

Anbei Diqu and Anbei Tiancan are twin brothers; their looks and temperament are so alike that they are hard to tell apart.

At this point, Anbei Diqu looked at Hong Jishi, his gaze cold and eerie, as if not a human's.

Jiang Chen felt a chill; he sensed something amiss. He whispered to Hong Jishi, "Master, this guy is problematic."

Hong Jishi nodded, "Indeed there's a problem; this guy is already dead, and now he has become Anbei Tiancan's Shikigami." A trace of murderous intent seeped from his voice.

Jiang Chen finally understood: years ago Anbei Diqu had been killed by Hong Jishi, but the killing was not thorough; Anbei Tiancan had turned his own brother into a Shikigami to continue controlling him.

This method was extremely vile, sending chills down one's spine. After becoming a Shikigami, Anbei Diqu was no longer human, but a half‑person, half‑soul entity.

He lost his own consciousness and thoughts, able only to obey Anbei Tiancan's commands, becoming his puppet.

Hong Jishi said coldly, "It seems my hand was light back then, the killing not thorough enough." His tone brimmed with murderous intent and resolve, clearly displeased and angry at Anbei Tiancan's method.

Generally speaking, the existence of a Shikigami does not carry

pre‑death memories and thoughts; they are like empty vessels cleared of memory, obeying only their master's commands.

However, Anbei Diqu is an exception.

He retains his memories and hatred from life; his hatred toward Hong Jishi burns like an ever‑flaming flame, scorching his soul at all times.

He longs to take revenge personally, to shred Hong Jishi's body into countless pieces.

Anbei Diqu coldly opened his mouth, his voice filled with chill and viciousness, "The killing grudge from back then, Anbei Diqu will never forget. Today, I will make you repay tenfold!"

Hong Jishi laughed heartily after hearing that, his voice dripping with contempt and mockery, "You've become a Shikigami; did your brain turn stupid too? With you, you still dare seek revenge on me?"

Anbei Diqu said nothing more, but his mouth corner

curved a strange smile, as if brewing some plot.

At this moment, Anbei Tiancan's voice sounded beside them, low and chilling, "You are the Shenlong Empire's youngest Divine General, Jiang Chen, aren't you?"

Jiang Chen's fame now soars; few people do not know his name.

Anbei Tiancan continued, "My son Anbei Jiyu sent some information before his death; the one who killed him was you, right?"

"To erase my son's soul, the Jiang Divine General truly has fine methods," Anbei Tiancan's voice carried a hint of coldness.

Jiang Chen felt a stir; he understood that Anbei Jiyu must have been the one the Black Dragon Society sent to besiege Huo Lieyang. And as the head of the Black Dragon Society, Anbei Tiancan was naturally the mastermind behind it.

Jiang Chen and Hong Jishi came this time to avenge Huo Lieyang and completely eradicate the Black Dragon Society as a scourge.

Anbei Tiancan's voice sounded again, low

and eerie, "You killed my son, yet still want to destroy my Black Dragon Society, Hong Jishi, you are being too much."

His words hung in the air, and the manor suddenly burst into dazzling light. An invisible Barrier instantly formed around the manor, enveloping everyone and everything inside.

"Barrier!" Hong Jishi muttered, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, "Sure enough, colluding with the Abyss Demon."

The Barrier's appearance alone proved the Black Dragon Society's collusion with the Abyss Demon. Their journey here was not in vain.

【61】 Abyss Demons excel at using Barriers, while the Dragon Race excels at formations. The Human Race, building on both, gradually developed the profession of formation master.

As the Barrier appeared, a single Shikigami suddenly manifested behind Anbei Tiancan. As a Divine Level Yinyang Master, he can possess many powerful Shikigami.

Jiang Chen examined the Shikigami closely, and suddenly his eyes narrowed. "Demon King!" he shouted.

Among Anbei Tiancan's eight Shikigami, besides Anbei Di Que, there were two Abyss Demon Kings.

The aura of these two Demon King Shikigami was ancient and powerful, clearly not recently deceased.

Anbei Tiancan whispered, "That's right, they are Demon Kings. I have a deep friendship with the Abyss Demons, and these two ancient dead Demon Kings were given to me by them."

Hong Jishi said coldly, "Using Demon Kings as Shikigami, you're truly bold. It seems your collusion with the Abyss Demons has reached an unspeakable level. Otherwise, how could they possibly give you a freshly deceased Demon King?"

Hong Jishi naturally would not believe that Anbei Tiancan personally killed the Demon Kings and turned them into Shikigami. These two

The aura of the Demon King Shikigami is too ancient; they were likely naturally old‑deceased and then given to Anbei Tiancan.

Anbei Tiancan gave no explanation; he simply performed a Shadow Transformation Nation‑specific courtesy toward Hong Jishi and Jiang Chen.

"I am a 93rd‑level Yinyang Master, Anbei Tiancan. Today, I shall send you both on your way!" His voice was deep and cold, revealing an air of unrivaled sinister ferocity.
