Chapter 1418: Venerable Descends!

Xun Shuang Xianzi saw his hesitation, then said, "You don't need to follow me; go about your business. I know the direction and can return on my own, no need for your escort."

"There's no need for that."

Xiao Feng felt something was off.

She fell into the void passage to save him; not sending her home would be hard to justify.

Although the journey is far, it doesn't necessarily require flying for over three months.

Don't forget there's still a friend from the Evil Realm!

Qian Sha is currently offline, but he comes every day to dig for treasure, three times a day, and at most you'd wait 24 hours in the real world.

As long as Qian Sha shows up, we can hail a quick ride and open a teleportation gate near the Kyushu Immortal Realm; it's not difficult.

Just the travel fee is a bit steep; we'll have to spend a lot again.

"Let's go back," Xiao Feng suddenly said.

"Go back? Where to?" Xun Shuang Xianzi asked, puzzled.

Xiao Feng explained: "I have a friend who can use the teleportation function to send us near the entrance of the Kyushu Immortal Realm, but I still owe him a good drink; I forgot last time, I can't forget again this time. I'll go back to the Dou Qi God Domain to buy some fine wine for him."

"Well... okay."

Seeing he had a plan, Xun Shuang Xianzi thought it would save her three months of travel and seemed fine, so she agreed.

Her figure flickered, and she returned at extreme speed along the same route.

However, as they neared the teleportation array of the Dou Qi God Domain, a phantom of a god king suddenly appeared.

It was a female knight in light armor, holding a long spear, pointing at Xiao Feng and the others, shouting lowly: "Foreign powerhouses, halt! This is the Dou Qi God Domain; no visitors allowed!"

Those words were aimed at Xun Shuang Xianzi; Xiao Feng has travel privileges and won't be rejected.

Given Xun Shuang Xianzi's strength, she certainly wouldn't fear that phantom; she could win in a direct duel and enter if she wanted.

However, she really dislikes the feeling of being suppressed by realm laws; going to the Dou Qi God Domain would prevent her from using her spiritual power, making her feel awful.

Then she said to Xiao Feng: "You go on your own; I'll wait here."

Xiao Feng understood her thought, didn't insist, and nodded: "Alright, I'll go quickly and return quickly; don't run around, or I won't be able to find you later."

"Mm."

Xun Shuang Xianzi nodded slightly, flicked a wisp of immortal power, and pushed Xiao Feng toward the teleportation array.

Xiao Feng wasn't blocked by the god king phantom and smoothly entered the teleportation array.

Xiao Feng still had plenty of god stones on him, could teleport at will; after paying 10,000 god stones, he returned to the Silver Spear God Kingdom.

Just as Xiao Feng's front foot stepped out, his figure had just left the Myriad Heavens Battlefield.

At that moment, a sudden shout came from all directions.

"Human kid, where do you think you're going!"

Accompanying it was an aura so strong it could be called terrifying!

The sky, already overcast, instantly grew darker; the clouds turned black as ink, with a hint of bloody hue in the darkness.

The snowflakes drifting in the air seemed frozen, completely still.

The cold wind abruptly ceased, and heaven and earth plunged into an eerie silence.

"Who goes there!" Xun Shuang Xianzi felt the terrifying aura and her expression changed instantly.

She clenched her hand in the air, and a Slay Dao Sword she had never used before appeared in her grasp.

Intuition told him that the one appearing now was a Great Luo Realm expert!

Facing such an existence, even she would have to give her all, or she would surely lose!

"Which powerful expert comes to visit again?" the Dou Qi God Domain's guardian god king phantom also questioned, taking a battle stance.

A void vortex opened between them.

The vortex was huge, a hundred times larger than the teleportation passages commonly used by humans!

Under the gaze of Xun Shuang Xianzi and the god king phantom, a pair of ox horns protruded.

Then came a massive head, over twenty meters in size, resembling a bull but with ferocious tusks, and hair as hard as porcupine quills.

Its body also emerged from the void vortex, exceeding a hundred meters in size, dark brown all over, with a pair of massive wings on its back, a very long tail ending in a blade‑like tip.

"The Myriad Demon King… Qiongqi?"

Xun Shuang Xianzi's expression shifted dramatically; her immortal power surged, she had adjusted her condition to the limit, ready to strike with full force at any moment.

Qiongqi stepped out of the void vortex, glanced at Xun Shuang Xianzi, then at the god king phantom on the other side, and asked in a deep, resonant voice: "Have you seen a human named Xiao Feng?"

Xun Shuang Xianzi's face darkened; she knew today would likely not end peacefully.

Reason told her that shaking her head and saying she didn't know Xiao Feng would probably reduce some trouble.

But a cultivator's conviction does not allow her to lie out of fear!

Moreover, she isn't afraid at all!

"He just left," Xun Shuang Xianzi replied.

"Oh? Where did he go? Did he hide in a small world again?" Qiongqi chuckled coldly, saw the teleportation array over there, and guessed the outcome.

Xun Shuang Xianzi didn't reply; there was no need to answer.

She asked: "What do you want with him?"

Qiongqi glanced at her indifferently and replied: "Nothing major; I've been lonely for tens of thousands of years, came to find an immortal junior to kill a few hundred times just to relieve boredom."

Xun Shuang Xianzi furrowed her brows.

Knowing the visitor meant no good, she hadn't expected the purpose to be so vicious.

"Kill him a few hundred times?"

Even an adventurer couldn't bear it; their foundation would shatter, reverting to a mortal body!

"Little girl, you seem quite concerned about him; what's your relationship?" Qiongqi asked with interest.

"Friend." Xun Shuang Xianzi said without hesitation.

"Friend?"

The chaotic beast tasted the word, pondering, said: "Humans value emotions most; you are his friend, and you are not an adventurer, only having one life. If I kill you, it will surely make him more resentful than killing himself."

Xun Shuang Xianzi frowned deeper, but refused to lower her head, saying coldly: "Go ahead and try!"

The chaotic beast did not attack immediately, but laughed: "No rush, no rush; wait for him to come, then kill him in his presence—that will be most satisfying. Oh, don't think of escaping; I have sealed this space, with your True Immortal cultivation, you cannot get away."

Xun Shuang Xianzi's heart sank.

It seems today we will truly have a great battle!

Such a strong being as the chaotic beast would not idle and play with her; if he says he will kill, he surely has murderous intent.

Her thoughts raced like lightning.

Waiting to die is not a cultivator's habit; she will surely resist.

But the gap in realm between them is too great; relying solely on her own strength, it will likely be hard to oppose.

The God King's phantom is even weaker than her, and could not possibly become an aid.

Perhaps... if Xiao Feng comes, the two of them joining forces might have a chance.

But if they lose, not only will she be killed, Xiao Feng will also be slain down to a mortal...

"What to do..."

Xun Shuang felt anxious in her heart.

This was the first time in her life she felt helpless; even when she had previously fallen into the abandoned world, she had never been this anxious.

"If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have saved him... alas, it's too late to say anything now; I can only give it my all."

She sighed inwardly, gripping her sword and moving toward the Teleportation Array.

The chaotic beast did not let her go, but did not directly move to capture her, apparently very confident in his Venerable realm strength.

Xun Shuang Xianzi halted above the Teleportation Array; this time the God King's phantom did not block her, knowing a strong enemy was present, the surrounding space had been sealed, turning the Teleportation Array into one that allows entry but not exit, making interception pointless.
