NOVPUBWatching Xu Zimei’s figure rushing to kill, the Divine Emperor snorted coldly and directly disappeared into the void.
Xu Zimei glanced towards Lan Ke’er’s position and sighed softly.
"I didn’t expect this either," he said, shaking his head in shame.
"How can I face you in the future?" Lan Ke’er looked at Xu Zimei, her eyes filled with pain as she spoke.
"It was the Divine Emperor who killed your father, not me, but rest assured, I will avenge you in the future," Xu Zimei said.
"But you killed my clansmen," Lan Ke’er crouched on the ground, holding her head and crying.
"They also wanted to kill me," Xu Zimei replied.
"I would like to be alone for a while, is that okay?" Lan Ke’er said softly, shaking her head slightly.
"I will always be with you," Xu Zimei nodded and said.
Then he turned around and headed for the Life and Death Demon Extinguishing Array.
The destruction of the Lan Family was not his wish, but unfortunately, they ultimately stood on the opposite side of him.
The other party had declared war, and naturally, Xu Zimei would not remain indifferent. People yearn for a happy ending, but more often than not, the world is filled with sadness.
He would respect Lan Ke’er’s choices, and no matter what the outcome, Xu Zimei, having made his move, would not regret it.
In front of the Life and Death Demon Extinguishing Array, Xu Zimei held Tyrant Shadow, and endless Blade Intent emanated from the blade.
With a "boom," the sky-filled Blade Intent converged, and finally, it came crashing down with great force.
With that strike, the barrier around the Formation broke, and all ten golden chains shattered as well.
Inside the Formation, Bai Meng roared in anger, his body enveloped in Demonic Qi like a sea of Purgatory.
Bai Meng slowly raised his hands and, reaching back, grasped the golden chains on his arms, pulling them forcefully.
With a "bang bang," the golden chains all broke apart, becoming extremely fragile without the support of the Formation’s power.
After a few more sounds, all the chains on Bai Meng were torn off.
He stepped out of the Formation one by one, his Demonic Qi engulfing half the firmament.
He seemed like a true Demon emerging into the world, and with every step, countless cracks appeared in space beneath his feet.
As Bai Meng walked step by step, the overwhelming Demonic Qi formed a terrifying and fierce giant face that emerged behind him.
Xu Zimei, looking at the trapped ancestors of the Lan Family, turned to Bai Meng and said, "I leave them to you."
Bai Meng nodded, and then his right hand reached out, condensing a sphere of Demonic Qi between his fingers.
The sphere quickly expanded dozens of times in size, swallowing all ten members of Lan Jiulin and their bodies.
At the moment of swallowing, the only female figure, Jiang Wudi, suddenly became blurred.
Then, a shadow emerged from around her, illuminating the nine heavens and the ten earths, transforming into a beam of light, and directly breaking through Bai Meng’s space with Jiang Wudi, fleeing into the distance.
"Emperor Soul?" Bai Meng uttered in light surprise.
"If you dare to leave, I will go and destroy your Invincible Sect right now," Xu Zimei’s voice came from behind.
The escaping light hesitated for a moment and then slowly dissipated, revealing Jiang Wudi’s figure in mid-air.
With a cold look in her eyes, she looked at Xu Zimei and said, "I will take full responsibility for this matter; it has nothing to do with the Sect Gate."
"It seems you and the Invincible Emperor indeed have a special relationship. He was willing to split a part of his Emperor Soul to save your life," Xu Zimei said with a light laugh.
The Emperor Soul is a part of the Great Emperor’s true soul, which, for a Great Emperor, is even more important than the Great Emperor’s True Artifacts.
Usually, unless it’s for someone very important, a Great Emperor would not split their true soul.
"What do you want?" Jiang Wudi looked at Xu Zimei and asked.
"Let’s do this. You help me find someone, and I can consider not destroying your Invincible Sect," Xu Zimei smiled.
"After all, aside from this incident, there hasn’t been much involvement between your Invincible Sect and our Demon Race."
"Find whom?" Jiang Wudi fell silent for a moment before finally asking.
"The current Saint Heir of the Taoist Clan, Dao Tianyun, as well as the whereabouts of the Taoist Clan," Xu Zimei said.
He had previously visited the River of Fate to observe the Reincarnation Elder’s destiny and discovered that he had been reincarnated as the son of the Taoist Clan Leader.
There are accounts from the past that need to be settled, not unreturnable, but when the time comes, they should be slowly repaid.
Be it Baili Xiao or the Reincarnation Elder, Xu Zimei would not let either of them off the hook.
"Fine," Jiang Wudi pondered for a moment before ultimately nodding in agreement.
Because just moments ago, he felt someone locking onto him from the void, the intent to kill so intense.
If he denied the request, he feared he would be executed on the spot.
"One more thing," Xu Zimei said.
"Have the members of your Invincible Sect spread a message outside. Say that the people of the Lan Family are all demonic.
Your Invincible Sect joined forces with Heavenly Sword Mountain to exterminate the Lan Family. Unfortunately, the two ancestors from Heavenly Sword Mountain sacrificed themselves for the greater good by perishing alongside the Ancestor of the Lan Family in this battle."
Upon hearing Xu Zimei’s words, all the elders of the Lan Family beside him were infuriated to the point of bursting.
Looking at Xu Zimei, they shouted, "Demon, you are the true demons! May you never rest in peace."
"Ancestors, we have failed you. I, Lan Jiulin, am unworthy of the Lan Family’s ancestral line."
Seeing everyone’s reaction, Jiang Wudi felt a silent condolence in his heart.
This was a thorough heart-wrenching murder, not only annihilating the Lan Family but also intent on tarnishing their millennia-old reputation by branding them as demonic. 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘱𝘶𝑏.𝑐𝘰𝑚
Once this label becomes established, if no one comes to their defense in future generations, the demonic stigma might haunt this Demon-Slaying Family for eternity.
"You need not be so heartbroken. I am merely returning to the Lan Family what they have done to us," Xu Zimei said indifferently.
"What’s wrong with being demonic? It’s you who branded us, and it’s not like my Demon Race did anything to Yuan Central Continent."
Bai Meng clasped his hands together, and the dark orb enveloped all the members of the Lan Family inside it.
He then shrank the dark orb and swallowed it whole.
"This is my Despair Space. I will let them suffer torments in despair until they die hopelessly," Bai Meng said calmly.
"All right, I will take care of these matters," said Jiang Wudi helplessly as he could only nod in agreement.
Xu Zimei waved his hand, not saying anything further.
Jiang Wudi finally gave Xu Zimei a deep look before stepping into the void and leaving.
......
"My lord, this is a Chaos Crystal," Bai Meng immediately snatched the Chaos Crystal and presented it before Xu Zimei.
Xu Zimei looked at the Chaos Crystal in his hand, a murky grey that prevented him from seeing clearly inside it.
He asked, "Can it still be used now?"
"I’m afraid not. The seal can only surface on the day of the once-in-a-millennium celestial origin," Bai Meng said regretfully.
"Since that time has already passed, to use it again, we might have to wait another thousand years."
