Chapter 804: Let You Be a Witness

In the vast world, deep within a dark underground realm.

Before Feng Wanxi, a massive array's luminous barrier appeared.

The barrier displayed a map of the entire vast world, and on that map, a tiny red light point moved incessantly.

Seeing the position of the light point, Feng Wanxi immediately exhaled in relief.

Yes, that light point was He Pingsheng's location.

As long as she monitored He Pingsheng's position, she could ensure her own safety.

Because once He Pingsheng's light point came within a day's distance of her, Feng Wanxi would leave this place, continuing to evade while searching for a new refuge.

By this method, He Pingsheng would surely never find her.

The facts proved this tactic worked well.

But He Pingsheng did not care whether he found her or not.

At this moment, He Pingsheng had landed atop a snowy peak on a certain plateau.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Then, like a hawk, he suddenly opened his eyes and gazed toward the valley between the two snowy peaks ahead.

Whoosh…

He Pingsheng's body shot upward, transforming into a streak of light as it landed in the valley.

Standing in empty space, he looked around.

All around were snow-capped peaks.

Yet within this valley, the air was warm and damp, trees lush and verdant, and spiritual energy remarkably abundant.

Without saying it, one knew this place at least hid a spiritual vein deep underground.

"Come out…" He Pingsheng regarded a certain direction coolly: "Come out yourself, and I'll grant you a path to life; if I drag you out, you'll die without doubt!"

The direction He Pingsheng observed was a small cave.

Here, he smelled a familiar scent.

After a few breaths, a rustling sound emerged as the Huoming Daoist stepped out of the cave.

His face was ashen.

He never expected that even here, he would still be found.

He Pingsheng originally could not have found him, but earlier he had launched a spiritual sense attack on Huoming; though Huoming dodged the attack, He Pingsheng's toxin had remained on Huoming's skin.

This faint, almost imperceptible toxin emitted a subtle scent—others could not detect it, but He Pingsheng's internal poison Dao method could resonate with it.

Of course, this range was limited—only within ten thousand li.

At first, He Pingsheng could not sense this tiny scent; later, he chased along Huoming's escape route, having nearly given up hope, when unexpectedly, atop this snowy peak, he rediscovered his target.

"Killing me won't help!" Huoming said: "I have a clone—I sent it elsewhere!"

He Pingsheng sneered: "I left traces on both you and your clone."

"I can find you now—I can find your clone too!"

"Worst case, I kill them one by one—it's just more trouble."

He Pingsheng's expression remained calm, then he waved his hand!

Boom… boom boom boom…

Ten phoenix corpses were tossed by him from empty space into the valley below.

"This…" Seeing the corpses below, Huoming's body trembled uncontrollably.

Earlier, twelve formed the great array—now had this bastard killed the other ten?

Not one left alive?

He Pingsheng stared at Huoming, then gripped the purple-red staff in his hand: "Now, I say I can kill you—and your clone too!"

"Do you believe me?"

"But… I still offer you one chance!"

"Now, surrender your Heavenly Dao Slave Seal!"

"Otherwise, die…"

"You have no third choice!"

Boom…

The Hongmeng Purple Gold Staff in He Pingsheng's hand suddenly expanded, growing to five hundred zhang in size, hovering in empty space.

Waves of terrifying pressure descended from the staff.

Simultaneously, eight poison spikes sealed Huoming's body.

"I give you ten breaths to decide!"

"After ten breaths, I'll decide for you!"

He Pingsheng stared at Huoming, counting slowly: "Ten… nine… eight… seven…"

Huoming had no choice.

He knew his clone still existed in this vast world—if He Pingsheng truly found it, he would be dead for sure!

"Five…"

"Four…"

"Three…"

Huoming took a deep breath: "Stop counting… I agree!"

"But I have a condition!"

He was a Body Integration cultivator—even as another's slave, he had conditions.

He Pingsheng said: "You have no right to make demands of me, but I'm still willing to hear your condition!"

"If it's not troublesome, I may accept it."

"Good!" Huoming said: "The fact that I've become your slave must not be revealed to anyone, nor must the Phoenix Clan know!"

"No third member of the Phoenix Clan may know—except you and me!"

"Otherwise, I'd rather die than agree!"

Huoming stared at He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng nodded: "No problem… I made you my slave only to have you serve as a witness!"

"You're of little use to me!"

"In fact, I may even remove your slave seal someday!"

As he spoke, He Pingsheng retrieved the ten Phoenix corpses from the ground.

"I hope you keep your word!" Huoming extended both hands, forming the Heavenly Dao Slave Seal before him, then flung it through the air toward He Pingsheng.

He Pingsheng directly absorbed the Heavenly Dao Slave Seal into his spiritual sea.

A master-servant bond formed between them.

"After we leave this vast world, I fear the Kongkong Demon Emperor will panic!" He Pingsheng said coolly: "So once we emerge, you must immediately help me defuse the crisis!"

Huoming asked: "How?"

He Pingsheng said: "Say that Feng Wu betrayed the Phoenix Clan—that at the critical moment, he killed Kongkong Crown Prince and seized the Emperor Artifact, causing the great array to fail!"

"Then the Kongkong Demon Emperor and the Phoenix Clan will quarrel—by then, the Demon Emperors won't have time to bother me!"

"Understood!" Huoming said: "This is the truth!"

"Hmm!" He Pingsheng nodded, then transformed into a streak of light and departed.

He left Huoming still inside the cave.

…

The Emperor Artifact Silver River Flying Shuttle fully activated; less than half a day later, He Pingsheng arrived at the very center of the vast world!

Four people sat atop five stone steles: Wang Dun, Nan Qiqi, Bai Zhiting, and Zhu Xuanlun.

The fifth stele remained empty.

Though the fifth stele was empty, at least two hundred prodigies surrounded its base.

"Young Master He has arrived…" Wang Dun beamed upon seeing He Pingsheng: "Have you seen your sister-in-law?"

"Sister-in-law?" He Pingsheng frowned: "Which one?"

Wang Dun said: "Feng Wanxi…"

He Pingsheng shook his head: "No."

"Then that's perfect!" Wang Dun pointed to the fifth stele: "Brother, I saved this one for you—go sit down!"
