The atmosphere gradually became tense. At this moment, Ku Lingzi’s origin soul was in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands. Neither Zi Yuan nor the other four from Night Shade dared to act rashly.

As for True Monarchs Ziyu Weilan and Qin Tianzong, although they still didn’t know that the one in True Monarch Xuanxiao’s hands was the Primordial Spirit of the Netherworld Soul Saint a thousand years ago, they thought that they were extremely important to Xiao Chen, so they didn’t dare to act rashly.

“Hahaha …”

True Monarch Xuanxiao let out a cold laugh. He was still holding the blood talisman in his hand. At this moment, any small movement of his would affect Shen Jing’s heart. Master was already dead. No matter what, she wanted to save Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit.

Xiao Chen’s expression never changed. It wasn’t that he wasn’t worried about Ku Lingzi’s life and death. Back then, Ku Lingzi had been captured by True Monarch Xuanxiao to protect him. How could he not be worried about his opponent’s life and death?

However, at this moment, True Monarch Xuanxiao was threatening Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit. The more he acted like this, the less nervous he was.

“True Monarch Xuanxiao can destroy Senior’s primordial spirit, but in this world, only Senior and I know about that ancient forbidden technique. Do you think you can learn about that forbidden technique from me?”

Hearing this, everyone behind them felt their hearts tighten. What kind of ancient taboo technique was it? True Monarch Xuanxiao, who exactly is the origin soul that you captured …

“Hahaha …”

True Monarch Xuanxiao smiled sinisterly and his gaze turned fierce. At this moment, his voice turned into the Blood Demon’s low and terrifying voice, “Are you threatening me? Unfortunately, I no longer need that forbidden technique!”

As soon as he finished speaking, he raised his palm and a layer of blood mist instantly covered the surroundings of the Blood Talisman, as if it was about to devour Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit.

Shen Jing’s expression suddenly changed, “Senior!”

Inside the bloody light, Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit revealed a painful expression. True Monarch Xuanxiao said gloomily, “It only takes half an incense stick of time for his primordial spirit to disappear along with this blood talisman. Now, it depends on whether you have the ability to rescue him from my hands …”

At this instant, a radius of more than ten kilometers, with True Monarch Xuanxiao at the center, was filled with a bloody light and a bone-piercing cold aura. Everyone’s hearts trembled endlessly.

Regardless of whether it was the people of the 72 Realms or the disciples of Xuanxiao Palace, when they saw the demonized True Monarch Xuanxiao at this moment, their faces were filled with panic. They didn’t dare to move, much less make any noise.

Xiao Chen’s eyes turned cold. In almost an instant, he moved in front of True Monarch Xuanxiao, wanting to grab the blood talisman. Unexpectedly, the other party was attacking with a soul-devouring and bone-devouring blood mist. Hua Weiyang was also shocked from afar and shouted, “Be careful!”

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”

The bloody mist that covered the skies instantly enveloped Xiao Chen. He was in the air and had nowhere to borrow his strength. He had no choice but to strike forward with his palm. As the bloody mist scattered, his body also teleported backwards.

“Rakshasa! Shadowless!”

Shen Jing shouted coldly. In an instant, the two herbalists appeared from the void. They were actually fearless of the bloody mist that filled the sky. Their figures were like lightning as they charged towards True Monarch Xuanxiao.

“A mere alchemist dares to be presumptuous.”

True Monarch Xuanxiao waved his sleeve and a burst of strength flew out. “Bang!” Two bangs immediately sent the two alchemists flying.

Even though the two alchemists were immortal and had been refined by Shen Jing to the point that they were invulnerable to fire and knife, their current strength was still unable to contend against True Monarch Xuanxiao, who had entered the Devil Realm.

“Capture all of these people for me!”

True Monarch Xuanxiao’s gaze was cold as he gave the order. The people from Xuanxiao Palace and the 72 Domains finally woke up from their shock and surrounded them.

The situation immediately became tense. Seeing this, True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan did not hesitate. In an instant, they also attacked True Monarch Xuanxiao. As for Qin Tianzong and the others, they confronted the experts of Xuanxiao Palace and the 72 Domains.

As soon as the flames of war between the two sides touched, Xiao Chen inevitably had some misgivings because Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit was in the hands of the other party. However, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s offensive was getting more and more fierce, and his strength was obviously much deeper than that day.

“An ant shakes a tree!”

With a cold shout, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s body was shrouded in a bloody light. He didn’t know what evil technique he had used, but for a moment, he saw a bloody mist churning, and wild sand filled the sky. Before everyone could react, a hundred zhang bloody light had already slashed towards him horizontally.

“Watch out!”

Even though True Monarch Zi Yu and True Monarch Wei Lan were already prepared, they were still sent flying backwards by this sudden bloody light.

Only Xiao Chen had thirty-six strands of Heavenly Dipper Profound Qi in his body that could resist True Monarch Xuanxiao’s power. However, at this moment, he was so concerned about Ku Lingzi’s life and death that it was difficult for him to do his best. After a long time, he couldn’t help but be at a disadvantage.

“Looks like the Lord of Lustless Heaven … can’t save him today.”

Suddenly, True Monarch Xuanxiao’s voice became abnormally low. As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his left sleeve towards the sky. “Fiend Fiend Fiend Fiend!” A bloody mist immediately filled the air. When the bloody mist dispersed, a blood-colored soul flag appeared in the sky.

However, upon closer inspection, this soul flag was even more terrifying. It looked like there were countless evil spirits inside. The shrill and gloomy howls could be heard continuously, causing people to feel their scalps go numb.

“That’s the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner …”

True Monarch Zi Yu’s face turned pale as he pointed at True Monarch Xuanxiao and said, “Xuan Xiao, I didn’t expect you to be so unscrupulous. You refined all those people who were devoured by you into the evil spirits in this banner!”

“Hahaha!”

True Monarch Xuanxiao raised his head and smiled. Then, his gaze turned fierce, “Very soon, the two of you will also become the evil spirits in this banner.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed at the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner and shot out a streak of bloody light. The sky was filled with blood, and the sound of yin howls could not stop.

What was even more terrifying was that the evil ghosts within the banner had actually transformed into black gas that gathered around the banner. Anyone who approached the banner would be bitten to the point that not even their bones were left by the banner in an instant.

At this moment, Qin Tianzong and the others were all shocked. Even the people of Xuanxiao Palace and the 72 Domains were stunned by the ghosts flying everywhere.

Just as everyone was shocked, True Monarch Xuanxiao waved his right hand and suddenly threw the blood talisman that trapped Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit towards the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner.

“Senior … don’t!”

Shen Jing’s eyes were about to split open as she flew over, but how resentful was the Myriad Ghost Banner? Not to mention that the moment she approached, she would be devoured by all ghosts. Even if she was able to resist all ghosts, she would still have to be corroded by this terrifying resentment. At that time, her entire cultivation would be crippled!

In that instant, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Chen unfolded the Ling Xian Step and rushed in front of Shen Jing, flying towards the Ten Thousand Ghost Banner.

“Yi Chen!”

Seeing him rush towards the Thousand Ghost Banner, Hua Weiyang’s expression changed. Zi Yuan and the others were equally shocked, but at this moment, it was impossible for them to catch up.

“Fiendish fiendish fiendish fiendish!”

Blood mist immediately surged in the sky, and miserable ghost howls could be heard from all around the banner. The vengeful ghosts in the sky swallowed the blood talisman that trapped Ku Lingzi’s primordial spirit.

At this moment, everyone held their breath. No matter how high one’s cultivation level was, they would not be able to block the devouring souls of these ten thousand ghosts, let alone an extremely weak primordial spirit. Almost instantly, they would be devoured by these vengeful ghosts …

The vengeful ghosts in the Myriad Ghost Banner were all refined by living people. One could imagine how heavy their resentment was. Once they were devoured by these vengeful ghosts, the only result would be that they would never be able to surpass their lives. They would never be able to enter reincarnation again, and would be equivalent to completely disappearing from this world …

This time, True Monarch Xuanxiao was too ruthless! Even the people of Xuanxiao Palace and the Seventy-Two Regions felt a chill run down their spines at this moment.

Just as the blood talisman was about to fly into the group of ten thousand ghosts, Xiao Chen finally arrived in an instant. He reached out and grabbed the blood talisman tightly before it flew in.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him grab the blood talisman. However, at this moment, Xiao Chen suddenly noticed something was amiss. No, inside this blood talisman …

Not Ku Lingzi! It was a Blood Demon!
