Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing folded his wings and, taking cover in the black smoke among the mountains, circled once in silence.

Inside the cave mouth of that ring-shaped mountain below, the Mo Family's Array Masters still surrounded the stone slab, completely unaware that something existed above their heads.

At this moment, Xu Zhangqing was calculating whether to infiltrate the cave first to investigate, or go to Blue Stone Stream to find Han Xin, when unexpectedly, a commotion suddenly erupted below.

A black shadow actually shot out violently from the mountain's rock wall, its speed so fast that even the air was compressed into a sonic boom.

Everyone's Divine Sense swept over and discovered it was an emaciated man clad in a tattered black robe.

His beard and hair were gray-white, tangled into dreadlocks; his face was withered, resembling a skeleton.

Only a pair of eyes shone with astonishing brightness in the darkness.

The moment he appeared, a ring of eerie green spiritual light exploded around him.

The pressure of a Nascent Soul Peak cultivator poured out without the slightest concealment, pressing those few Mo Family Array Masters with slightly lower cultivation to the ground on the spot, each trembling violently.

Two Demon Kings covered entirely in scale armor simultaneously rushed forward, their bone sabers crossing as they slashed.

Only to see the emaciated man casually wave a hand, and a giant palm condensed from green light manifested in midair; its five fingers were knobby like withered branches, and each finger was wound with dense, dense dark red blood threads, within which countless twisted human faces could be faintly seen howling silently.

That palm gently clenched, and the two bone sabers shattered simultaneously; the two Demon Kings sprayed demon blood and flew backward, smashing two deep pits into the rock wall, dying violently on the spot.

Among all the people and demons present, not a single one could withstand even a single exchange.

"Wan Ku Zhenjun!"

"This is the Wan Ku Zhenjun who disappeared a hundred years ago?"

"Heavens, he not only didn't die, but was hiding here?!"

At this time, a Mo Family Array Master cried out in alarm, having recognized him.

No one had expected the emaciated man to actually be Wan Ku Zhenjun.

In the Central Region, this person was one of the most notoriously infamous Evil Cultivators below the Spirit Severing stage.

It is said that a hundred years ago, because he cultivated evil techniques, he was hunted down by the orthodox path; unexpectedly, not only did he survive, he even lurked inside these ruins.

Perhaps it was even them who released him.

Seeing he had been recognized, Wan Ku Zhenjun let out a ferocious laugh: "Thanks to you all; if you hadn't blasted open the seal, this Venerable knows not how many more years I would have been trapped, hahaha!"

Originally thought I would be trapped here forever, never expected there would truly be a day to come out.

And the moment I came out, I ran into such a delightful treasure.

Therefore, he did not kill the Mo Family Array Masters paralyzed on the ground; instead, his withered fingers grasped at the void, and that wailing Dharma Aspect lifted the stone slab from the ground, holding it steadily in his palm.

Immediately afterward, his figure rose from the ground, carrying the stone slab as he fled toward the outside of the mountain.

But just as he emerged, he saw Xu Zhangqing circling above the cave mouth.

"Demon Emperor?"

Wan Ku Zhenjun's Divine Sense swept over Xu Zhangqing once; seeing his five-colored rosy light, peacock body, and the aura of a Demon Emperor emanating from him.

Instantly, on that withered, skeleton-like face, a ferocious smile was squeezed out.

"A mere peacock dares block this Venerable's path?"

"Just happens this Venerable lacks a few tail feathers for artifact refining; your plumage is top-grade material!"

"How about you hand your life over to this Venerable!"

Before his words fell, the Wan Ku Dharma Aspect behind him struck ruthlessly.

That green giant palm spread its five fingers wide; the blood threads on each finger exploded simultaneously, transforming into countless fine blood lines that rushed toward Xu Zhangqing to strangle and kill.

The tip of every blood line bore a twisted human face silently shrieking.

These are all the souls Wan Ku Zhenjun has refined with forbidden arts over hundreds of years.

They not only specifically defile the Divine Soul and erode magic power, but ordinary cultivators touched by even a strand can be refined alive into a puddle of pus.

However, Xu Zhangqing couldn't even be bothered to lift an eyelid.

The five-colored rosy light on his tail screen flashed lightly; red, blue, white, black, yellow — five colors intertwined into a light curtain thin as a cicada's wing, drifting lightly to meet that sky-covering, earth-covering mass of blood lines.

No loud boom, no explosion, no fierce clash of laws.

Those death-on-contact vengeful soul blood lines slammed into the five-colored rosy light like snow hitting lava; without even a sliver of room to struggle, they were uniformly melted away.

The Wan Ku Dharma Aspect's giant palm was also enveloped by the five-colored rosy light at the same time; the blood threads on its five fingers snapped inch by inch, and the vengeful human faces densely covering the palm's surface simultaneously let out silent, miserable screams.

Immediately, the entire palm was compressed by an irresistible force, rapidly shrinking from a giant palm that blotted out the sky and sun, hard-pressed into a fist-sized ball of green light.

The next second, Xu Zhangqing opened his mouth and inhaled, swallowing it just like that into his belly.

The Impure Earth Power circulated slightly, and that ball of Dharma Aspect fragments was thoroughly decomposed, leaving not even dregs.

"What?"

The ferocious smile on Wan Ku Zhenjun's face froze on the spot.

He had lived eight hundred years and seen countless experts, yet those who could so lightly swallow half his Dharma Aspect in one gulp — whether human or demon — are few enough to count on one's fingers.

He reacted extremely fast; without a second word, he turned and fled, not even wanting the stone slab anymore.

His whole person turned into a streak of green escape light, racing toward the depths of the Central Region.

Xu Zhangqing did not pursue to kill, merely saying lightly: "Forget it, spare your life for now."

Having an Evil Cultivator like this stirring up trouble in the depths of the Central Region isn't bad at all.

At least for a short time, it will attract the attention of the vast majority of demons.

In this way, the attention on the Mo Family's side will decrease even further.

Next, he rolled up his tail feather, stowing the stone tablet away, then the five-colored rosy light converged, and he flapped his wings, about to leave this place of trouble.

Picking up a stone tablet for no reason at all—this luck even he found surprising.

But before he could fly far, a large expanse of dark-red demon clouds surged from the distance.

Amidst the surging demon Qi, they gathered from all directions above Ring Mountain.

Immediately afterward, hundreds of demons descended from the clouds, surrounding this area on all sides, among them no few Demon King-level existences.

Not only that, a demon covered head to toe in Bone Armor suddenly stepped out from the clouds, and was then hailed by the demons as "Bone Emperor."

Bone Emperor glanced at the two Demon Kings slain by Wan Ku Zhenjun, then at the Mo Family Array Masters overturned on the ground, trembling, and finally fixed his gaze on the Five-Colored Peacock about to leave.

Then, it paused.

Five-Colored Peacock, Demon Emperor aura, carrying a faint superior pressure.

All demons in the Central Region know that any peacock-type creature has countless ties to Demon God Kong Fang.

This Five-Colored Peacock before him, though he had never seen it, its five-colored rosy light and Demon Emperor aura made it impossible for it to be a wild demon.

Perhaps it was a collateral descendant of Demon God Sir who rarely appeared, or even a direct bloodline just arrived from the Demon Realm.

Therefore, Bone Emperor dared not slight it, hastily stepping forward, pressing his right hand against the Bone Armor on his chest, and bowing to Xu Zhangqing: "You... are you here by Demon God Sir's order to inspect the territory?"
