Grandmother Shudou’s hands had been severely injured and her life vitality was now scattered. She could only tremble as she lay on the ground.

Hot Immortal Aunt had managed to escape from death and her supernatural power was still intact but she was so petrified that her mental state had been ruined. She was scared out of her wits as she stood aside rigidly…

The golden monkey had torn the golden-armored warrior into pieces. Its fists and kicks were like a violent storm as it attacked Sir Rust who was as exhausted as an arrow at the end of its flight.

The double doom from Yin’s Error and Yang’s Mistake had combined as one. The weapons had circled Bao Ri and spun around him wildly. The golden light which had covered the sky had dispersed earlier, it was unknown when the old man’s golden wheel had been broken.

Zhui Zi’s face was filled with pity, she looked like she wanted to scoop Wen Leyang up in her palms and blow air onto him.

Chang Li stabbed her demon blades in and out of the earth. After a moment, an agonized scream accompanied by raging shout could be heard as Brother Sang, who had lost a hand, leaped out of the earth in a confounded state. The moment he revealed himself, Chang Li ambushed him and swiftly sliced his other arm off with the demon blade.

Fei Fei was smiling until her eyes were almost squinted shut, she looked unspeakably adorable. Before Bao Ri had feigned his unconsciousness, she had seen through his act at one glance despite him putting a lot of effort to make it convincing. Naturally, Brother Sang’s feigned unconsciousness had not escaped her notice either. Sooner or later, he would have to move. Waiting for him to move was like the act of watching a stump in order to catch a hare and Chang Li enjoyed doing it.

Fei Fei had not informed Wen Leyang about Brother Sang’s feigned situation because she was afraid that Wen Leyang could not act well in accordance…

Chang Li was beaming with joy. She was so charming that one dared not stare straight into her eyes. She then wrapped her hands around Fei Fei’s shoulder joyously while her other hand pulled Wen Leyang to her side as she said, “Marry her!”

Fei Fei was startled and she chuckled as she shook her head strenuously. “He already has a wife! It’s against the law to marry him!”

Chang Li was still reluctant to give up and she looked at Zhui Zi, “What do you think?”

Zhui Zi rubbed the area between her brows and looked like she was in a difficult position. She then asked Chang Li in reply, “If the Pickle Jar had taken another woman as his wife…”

Before her voice could die away, Chang Li had knitted her charming brows and turned green with jealousy as if Tuo Xie has already married somebody else. “If he marries one, I shall kill double!” Upon saying that, she paused for a moment before she added, “I shall kill him as well!”

Zhui Zi laughed soundlessly. “The problem is this, you are angry if the Pickle Jar gets married but I’m actually rather happy if he gets married…” She then sighed as if she was feeling rather troubled herself.

Chang Li blinked and she suddenly had the clarity of an experienced person. “That won’t do, you still don’t think of him as a man.”

Zhui Zi nodded with a distressed expression, “That’s true…”

The Five Blessings’ master cultivators who were gathered behind them both had weird expressions on their faces. The battle has yet to be settled but these two female demons were already discussing something else in all seriousness… Wen Leyang was even blus.h.i.+ng all over as he ran over to the side and greeted the big and small demon rabbits who were standing in their untidy attire.

There was a m.u.f.fled banging sound as Sir Rust was kicked into the air by the golden monkey once again. There was an enormous dent on his chest as he collapsed onto the ground and panted from exhaustion. He has lost all his strength to fight.

The old man Bao Ri too suddenly stopped fighting as the healthy reddish glow on his elderly face turned ashen. Even Wen Shulin who had been hiding all along could tell that out of the five monsters, three had been severely injured while one had been scared out of her wits. Zhui Zi, Chang Li, the golden monkey, and Wen Leyang, however, were still all in good condition. Therefore, the victor and losers have been determined!

This had not gone as the rogue cultivators had imagined. A violent battle between top demon immortals and sword immortals should have taken months or years’ worth of time but in fact, the entire battle was even faster than a street vagabond’s fight. It had only just begun for a short while and the victorious side has already emerged. The dazzling radiance which had rippled out from their conjured supernatural powers and had covered the entire mountain has yet to completely disperse yet four out of five of the top sword immortals have been severely injured. They had suffered an overwhelming defeat.

The old man Bao Ri’s gaze swept past the smiling Chang Li, the piteous Zhui Zi, and the innocent and foolish golden monkey before finally stopping on the blus.h.i.+ng Wen Leyang’s. He suddenly felt a gush of raging blood surging in his chest and the old man hated Wen Leyang so much that he gritted his teeth loudly. Under the joined efforts of these three top demon immortals before his eyes, it was difficult for the five on his side to succeed. Yet, here was this Wen Leyang who had messed up the situation for a long while since the beginning.

The rogue cultivators who had been yelling and running everywhere earlier also stopped moving as they calmed down and turned their ears, waiting patiently to eavesdrop on the biggest mystery in the cultivation world to occur during the past few millenniums. However, Zhui Zi and the others soon disappointed all of them. Chang Li waved her hand at Ji Fei and Shui Jing as she instructed, “Both of you, please continue the meeting!” Soon after that, Wen Leyang’s group then carried the five monsters to a giant rock on the mountain’s peak and blocked themselves from the rogue cultivators’ line of sight.

As for Sir Rust, Grandmother Shudou, and Brother Sang who had been so severely injured that they could not move anymore. They were then pulled along and guided by Zhui Zi in the air before being tossed onto the back of the giant rock.

The monsters’ disciples did not portray that they were infuriated or unyielding because of their leaders’ injuries. Instead, they stood together noisily as if they did not possess their own awareness at all. It was almost as if they would only respond to their sect master’s command before they made a move. Other than that, they continued to stand rigidly on the spot. Even after their sect masters have been captured, their disciples had remained completely unmoved.

Of course, the people from the Wen and Miao family, the big and small demon rabbits, Liu Zheng, and the others had followed behind Chang Li immediately.

After they had arrived at the giant rock, the golden monkey clasped his hands behind his back as he spoke to Wen Leyang and the others, “I know all about these people’s cultivation methods! Their first ancestors were all the Kong Nu’er’s subordinates!” Following that, it looked at Chang Li once again as it asked, “So, you have an enmity with Kong Nu’er as well?”

Chang Li pouted her lips but before she could answer, the golden monkey’s gaze suddenly turned sharp and strong as he turned and looked at the monsters who were in surrender. His voice was sinister yet hateful as he said, “Where the h.e.l.l is Kong Nu’er? For heaven’s sake, it’s best that he is still alive!”

The monsters’ faces were perplexed, it was apparent that they had never heard Kong Nu’er’s name before. Zhui Zi patted the monkey’s shoulder gently as she said, “Please stay calm, this matter… I don’t think it’s considered all that complicated.”

The monkey rolled his round eyes as he sn.i.g.g.e.red and sneered but did not say anything else.

Chang Li asked Fei Fei secretly, “Which one do you think is the easiest to be interrogated?”

Fei Fei laughed and was full of confidence as she replied, “That would be Bao Ri. This old man is outwardly tough but inwardly weak so he would be the best to be interrogated!” Chang Li was elated by her reply. Soon after that, she glanced at Wen Leyang and her face was filled with regret as she shook her head. Her gaze conveyed one message – what a waste that you can’t marry this girl who is going to make a good wife for you.

Wen Leyang was at a loss whether to cry or laugh. He then sent a look at Grand Master Chang Li which was filled with the intention of – stop messing with me, I’m not worthy to marry this type of woman…

Bao Ri’s chest was heaving up and down vigorously. He had to inhale a few deep breaths before he could suppress the unwillingness in his heart desperately. He then looked at Chang Li, “So, are you… The demon cat, Chang Li?”

Chang Li nodded unhappily as if her reputation was so famous yet the old man had not recognized her.

The muscles on Bao Ri’s face twitched. “All of you… Who was the one out of you all who had killed my disciples?”

There was a sense of uncertainty between Chang Li’s brows but before she could speak, an agonized scream suddenly broke out from the side. It was ghastly to the utmost extent. The Earth Emperor Brother Sang who had lost one arm to Chang Li was like a catfish with its tail pulled off as he curled up desperately on the ground and rolled about. The blood which had seeped out from his wound covered his entire body and his face was so convoluted that one could not tell which was his nose or mouth!

The rogue cultivators who had been quietly waiting for a long time could not see the situation which was taking place behind the giant rock. They also dared not probe the area with their telegnosis ability. However, when they heard Brother Sang’s howling, they could no longer refrain themselves and burst into an uproar as they started discussing fervently amongst themselves. There was the look of excitement which could not be concealed on their faces as they thought that Chang Li was torturing her prisoner.

Ji Fei and Shui Jing had not followed them to the giant rock but had remained standing before the rogue cultivators. Their expression was not arrogant or agitated. Instead, there was a sense of pride on their faces. It seems like they were already too lazy to speak to the rogue cultivators.

Behind the giant rock, Bao Ri’s old face dimmed and there was unconcealed fear in his eyes. He looked at Chang Li and the others in terror while Hot Immortal Aunt roared sternly as she moved her body and pounced towards the Earth Emperor.

Chang Li shouted in rage, “Are you looking for your own doom?” She immediately swayed her body and blocked Hot Immortal Aunt in midair. At the same time, Zhui Zi’s eyes were filled with astonishment as she looked at Wen Leyang and asked softly, “Did you… Use poison earlier?”

A layer of black and white color was entangled on Brother Sang’s broken wrist. The grayish color which made one feel suffocated and nauseated was crawling downwards inch by inch to his arm. Wherever the gray color touched; whether it was his skin, flesh, or bone, it caused his arm to peel off in layers like a freshly blooming flower. It then turned into a puddle of pus which would not reflect a single point of light despite basking under sunlight.

Wen Leyang was stunned before he was suddenly enlightened and nodded. When Brother Sang had held onto his ankle earlier, it was a life-and-death situation which had made Wen Leyang instinctively expel the Poison of Life and Death, causing Brother Sang to become poisoned.

The Poison of Life and Death which had absorbed the Water Elemental Poison could be expelled from his body while the Poison of Life and Death which had absorbed the Earth Elemental Poison had set down roots in the earth to ensure continuous liveliness! The moment Chang Li’s demon blade had sliced through the Earth Emperor’s wrist, the strong poison on Brother Sang’s palm had pa.s.sed through the wound caused by the demon blade and spread completely into his broken wrist.

Everything had happened in a flash and the act of expelling the poison had not even pa.s.sed through Wen Leyang’s mind. He had reacted instinctively after being ambushed. Even Wen Leyang has just figured out the situation now after he realized how Brother Sang had been poisoned.

Based on the Earth Emperor’s cultivation base, even if he was accidentally tainted by rare poison, he could still dissolve the poison by cultivating his pure and strong life vitality. However, his other arm had been completely amputated, causing severe injuries and his life vitality to become scattered. Therefore, he could no longer resist the Poison of Life and Death which has taken effect at this moment.

Brother Sang could not withstand the strong poison’s invasion and he screamed heart-wrenchingly over and over again. Wen Leyang could only shake his head for his Poison of Life and Death could be considered as the top rare poison in the world and there was utterly no way he could nullify it.

Zhui Zi has an indifferent expression on her face. The Earth Emperor had insulted Tian Shu and others so Zhui Zi was not going to let him live since the beginning. After a moment, a shocked and uncertain expression suddenly appeared on her face. She then looked as if she was deep in thought before her expression changed to a look of realization.

Wen Leyang observed Zhui Zi’s rather unusual expression and he thought that she had been injured during the violent battle. He then asked softly, “What happened?”

Zhui Zi realized that Wen Leyang was showing concern for her and her expression turned into the appearance of a little girl who was surprised and joyous all at once. She immediately shook her head strenuously and turned towards the Earth Emperor Brother Sang who was still struggling and screaming on his own. She then said irrelevantly, “This strong poison has no antidote, it’s best for you to reveal yourself now!”

Before her voice could die away, Brother Sang’s agonized scream suddenly turned into a strange giggle. Soon after that, his body straightened as a puff of faint green-colored smoke slowly coiled out of his ear. It then gradually condensed into a dark green-colored shadow beneath the sunlight.

Brother Sang’s body had stopped moving. His corpse was subsequently corroded by the Poison of Life and Death and turned into a puddle of thick and murky purging fluid in the blink of an eye.

Hot Immortal Aunt who had been trying to charge at Chang Li with great effort in order to save the Earth Emperor cried out in alarm. She staggered back and fell onto the ground as she pointed at the green-colored shadow, “What… What are you?”

The green-colored primordial soul was surprisingly in the shape of a strange nine-headed snake. However, all the nine heads on Xiang Liu’s true body was of the same size while this primordial soul has one particularly large head. The other eight heads were the size of grapes and were hanging limply from the neck in an askew manner. This made the snake appear ghastly and hideous.

No one had expected the Earth Emperor Brother Sang’s primordial spirit to be a demon snake and they were all greatly startled. They hastily spread out in all directions but Wen Leyang could not help but tug Zhui Zi’s arm. “What is this?”

Zhui Zi’s face did not show her usual sorrowful expression nor was she showing her cold and infuriated expression. She only replied dully, “This is one of Xiang Liu’s nine-headed evil soul!”

Wen Leyang’s heart thudded loudly and there was only one thing on his mind – has another evil soul escaped? This signifies that another of the Heaven’s Cone Nail on Black and White Island has been broken!

Xiang Liu has nine heads but ten souls. There was one evil soul in each of the nine heads and at the same time, there was an additional true soul in his body who controls the overall situation. The eight evil soul’s life vitality force was far weaker than the true soul. The true soul was capable of possessing the dharma body of the Enlightened Tian Yin while the evil souls were far inferior to it. The Water Elemental evil soul which had been imprisoned in Guo Huan’s body had only managed to possess the Taoist priest San Wei who was not well-known and had a poor cultivation base back then.

Under Chang Li, Zhui Zi, and the others’ vigilance, it was naturally not an easy task for this evil soul to try and possess anyone else.

Since this evil soul was incapable of possessing a body, it would not be able to harm the other cultivators. However, the same applies to them as well and whether it was Chang Li, Zhui Zi, Bao Ri, or the Hot Immortal Aunt, they were all helpless when it comes to dealing with the evil soul. Other than Black and White Island’s orthodox cultivation method, there was only one other method which had been proposed by Mi Xu back then which was effective when it comes to dealing with the evil soul. Nevertheless, even if Mi Xu could be resurrected, they would not be able to find another person like Fifth Brother Hanba.

The green-colored evil soul was aware that not one person in the crowd was able to deal with it so it was not in a hurry to escape. It looked at Zhui Zi with interest, “I had brought along the treasured weapon which could isolate my soul power with me and yet you were still able to recognize me?”

There was a very human expression on the snake’s face and that made Wen Leyang feel tight and uneasy in his chest.

Zhui Zi laughed joyously, “I had not recognized you initially but the moment you had become tainted by the strong poison and started struggling, that treasured weapon could no longer conceal your stench anymore.” Zhui Zi had suppressed Xiang Liu on the Black and White Island for countless years so she was extremely familiar when it comes to Xiang Liu’s smell. She then paused for a moment before continuing, “Which element of the snake’s soul do you belong to? How did you even possibly come to possess Brother Sang’s body?”

The Earth Emperor’s cultivation base was profound while his primordial spirit was full and plump. Even if the true soul were to exercise control over him, it would take the true soul another century or millennium before the true soul could completely succeed. It would have been quite an impossible task for this evil soul here.

This evil soul’s voice was rough and heroic. That voice sounded like it would belong to a burly fellow with a mustache. “The Wood Element!” It then laughed out loud. “That Wood Element Heaven’s Cone Nail had suddenly withered by itself. I had been a little puzzled in the beginning but I finally understood after then that this old father’s luck was still on his side!”

The Wood Elemental evil soul did not even look at the rest of the cultivators as it continued to speak on its own accord, “The Wood Element Heaven’s Cone Nail had been condensed from the utmost Wood Essence of the Gou Mang’s spiritual seed’s immortal root. The Wood Element dominates growth and the spiritual seed’s immortal’s root would constantly absorb the spiritual primordial energy of the world at all times. Therefore, it should continue to grow stronger and bigger and was supposed to be the hardest to destroy amongst the nine Heaven’s Cone Nail. However… it had a fatal flaw. The immortal’s root and the devil’s spell in the spiritual seed were from the same root and would grow together!”

The golden monkey Qian Ren suddenly erupted into a series of desolated yet aggrieved laugher, “Kong Nu’er had harmed me so that he could condense this nonsense Wood Element Heaven’s Cone Nail! It’s all good, very good!”

Even though the evil soul had not told them about the entire sequence of event, Qian Ren had understood how it all played out at this moment. Out of the nine demon-suppressing Heaven’s Cone Nail on the Black and White Island, the Wood Element Heaven’s Cone Nail had been refined from the immortal’s root within Gou Mang’s spiritual seed. Qian Ren had been betrayed by Kong Nu’er back then because his good friend had wanted to use Qian Ren’s body as the catalyst so that the Gou Mang’s immortal’s root could be fused with the Ending Cave’s wood spirit and condensed into the Wood Element Cone Nail.

The immortal’s root and devil’s spell within the Gou Mang’s seed were entangled with one another. They share the same root and would grow together so when one died, the other would soon follow. If Kong Nuer was attempting to use the Wood Element Heaven’s Cone Nail to suppress Xiang Liu eternally, he could not allow the devil’s spell to die. This was why he had used the star chart protective circle to change Ending Cave’s circulation of spirit primordial energy, turning the land of Wood Spirit into an area of Yin energy on the huge mountain and had used it to grow the devil’s spell.

Kong Nu’er had been growing the devil’s spell but not the devil fetus! He had been growing the spiritual seed with only the devil’s spell in it to ensure the survival of the immortal’s root.

Without the mutual complementation of vital fire, the Gou Mang’s seed with only the devil’s spell could never transform into the devil fetus despite being buried for another million years. However, one man’s scheme was inferior to those made by heaven, all sorts of causes and effects had been predetermined in the unseen world since earlier. The Gou Mang’s seed had stolen Guo Huan’s split body and taken his vital fire. It was then incubated into the devil fetus which then grew into the stone tower before it had been finally killed by Wen Leyang and his group.

The moment the devil fetus died, the Wood Element Cone Nail had withered as well. Following the escape of the Water Element evil soul and Xiang Liu’s evil soul, the Wood Element evil soul too managed to struggle free from its shackles and could see the light of the day once again.

The Water Element evil soul had been trapped by Hanba earlier so the nine-headed evil souls had lost one of their comrades and could not unite their efforts to break the formation. They could only free themselves one by one and the Wood Element evil soul was of no help even if it were to remain in the snake’s head.

Hot Immortal Aunt’s voice sounded hoa.r.s.e and contained a heartfelt rage. There seems to be almost no friendly relations.h.i.+p between the old monsters but the Earth Emperor and Hot Immortal Aunt appear to have an intimate friends.h.i.+p. “How… How had you killed Brother Sang?”

The event had taken place only one to two days ago. As the Wood Element evil soul was making its escape, the true soul Tian Yin was recuperating from his injuries on the Black and White Island. Tian Yin had been recently injured by the firecrackers’ Water Elemental Poison on the Snowy Peak. He had then fought ferociously against the cultivators who had been rus.h.i.+ng over to suppress the dog-headed eagle on the highland. At that point, he has yet to regain his full health.

The old man Bao Ri exclaimed in surprise as he gazed into the eyes of the other. “The nine-headed Xiang Liu… Still has another true soul?” His tone of speaking then turned incredulous, “Other than the evil souls in the nine heads, there’s one more true soul still?!”

Chang Li huffed in reply to his question. Following that, she looked at the Wood Element evil soul and said, “Keep talking!”

The true soul and the evil soul were like blood brothers, they were naturally overjoyed when they met again. The Wood Element evil soul received its Big Brother’s care who had already refined his dharma body’s the moment the evil soul had entered the mortal world. The Wood Element evil soul’s luck was better than the Water Element evil soul back then by many folds.

In the evil soul’s perception, the most urgent matter on hand was naturally for it to look for a suitable dharma body so Tian Yin had immediately brought it back to the land of the east. Tian Yin then only needed to probe around before he learned that all the sect’s cultivators were rus.h.i.+ng towards Mount Hua’s G.o.ddess Peak in preparation to attend the meeting so he too had rushed over.

At this point, Wen Leyang’s expression changed drastically as he examined his surroundings vigilantly. The Wood Element evil soul burst out into laughter, saying, “The First Brother isn’t here. Otherwise, how would he have allowed all of you to act rashly like this!”

When Tian Yin and the Wood Element evil soul had arrived on Mount Hua, Wen Leyang was still anxiously waiting for the divine punishment.

Tian Yin had felt even more overjoyed when he discovered a body that was exceptionally fine which belonged to the Earth Emperor Brother Sang.

Even though he has already dissolved into pus, Wen Leyang, Chang Li, and the others could not help but peek at the real Brother Sang in a pitying manner. The real Brother Sand had been targeted by Tian Yin so his only ending was death.

Tian Yin’s personal cultivation base was stronger than the Earth Emperor’s. Whether it had been intentional or not, Brother Sang had almost no chance to even resist before he was captured. Prior to that violent battle, Hot Immortal Aunt had cried out in alarm that Brother Sang had been injured beforehand. Those injuries had been sustained when Tian Yin had ambushed him.

Soon after that, Tian Yin brought Brother Sang and the Wood Element evil soul as they traveled for over a thousand kilometers. They then returned to the highland’s Snow Peak and entered the ore cave above the Jianggendiru Glacier.

Even though Wen Leyang could already make a rough guess on the course of events in this matter, he still could not help but sigh. The crystal ore cave was protected by the ‘Thirteen Shall Not Pa.s.s’ prohibition spell which had been created specially to target one’s primordial spirit. The real Earth Emperor’s primordial spirit and soul were then erased by domineering prohibition spell until the Wood Element evil soul only needed to exert a little bit of power before it occupied this dharma body with profound Earth Elemental cultivation method.

The golden monkey Qian Ren was slightly puzzled as it asked, “The ore cave? ‘Thirteen Shall Not Pa.s.s’?” It has yet to be informed about that prohibition spell.

Wen Leyang then explained the situation to it simply. Only then did Qian Ren exhale a long breath and laughed bitterly, “These prohibition spells had been virtually made for the evil soul to seize new abodes!” It then frowned once again. “How had Tian Yin brought the human into the prohibition spell? Was he not afraid that he could be injured too?”

Wen Leyang burst out laughing as he had once asked a question which was similar to Qian Ren’s. This time, Wen Leyang did not wait for Zhui Zi and Guo Huan to speak before he answered, “You tie a rope around the person’s waist, toss them into the cave and then pull them out!”

Qian Ren was suddenly enlightened, “That’s a good idea!”

After the Wood Element evil soul had occupied Brother Sang’s body, Xiang Liu had then sent it back to Mount Hua again. He was exhausted by all the work so he returned to the Black and White Island alone to recuperate. At this point, Chang Li shook her head gently. “Wait, the timing is incorrect, the Gou Mang’s devil fetus had died only one or two days ago!”

After Wen Leyang and the others had killed the devil fetus and returned to the ground level, they had waited for the ‘G.o.d’s punishment’ for one day before they rushed over to G.o.ddess Peak. Everything else had happened in one short day yet Tian Yin had managed to bring the evil soul to Mount Hua from the Black and White Island. He had then traveled from Mount Hua to the Snow Peak before finally rus.h.i.+ng back from the Snowy Peak to Mount Hua… Wen Buzuo stuck his tongue out from the side and started talking garrulously, “How many kilometers had Tian Yin been driving in an hour!”

No one acknowledged him as everyone’s eyes remained rooted on the evil soul.

The evil soul’s laughter was prideful as it said, “Black and White Island’s three eminent persons Tian Yin, Tian Shu, and Tian Hua’s powers have been acc.u.mulated in First Brother’s body! Even though he had been slightly injured recently, he has made a new level of advancement in the comprehension of his orthodox cultivation method and refined the Distance Talisman!”

Those who were less competent such as Wen Leyang, little Chi Maojiu, Wen Bushuo, and Wen Buzuo felt that the name sounded slightly peculiar. However, the knowledgeable cultivators’ faces were all shocked without exception – the Distance Talisman allows one to travel a great distance instantly when the talisman was broken!

If one were to refine such a talisman, from then on one could travel a thousand kilometers in a flash. One could even breach the void and travel through the void. There would be no place in the world that one would be incapable of going anymore! However, such a talisman would exhaust a good amount of spirit primordial energy from a person. The act of capturing the Earth Emperor alive was naturally not an easy task. No wonder Tian Yin had been too weak to partic.i.p.ate in Mount Hua’s meeting. He had left the Wood Element evil soul behind before he desperately returned to the Black and White Island to recuperate.

The old rabbit Bu Le managed to suppress the fear in his heart with great effort as he spoke in a trembling voice, “No wonder… Tian Yin could travel over such a great distance in one day…”

Unexpectedly, the Wood Element evil soul suddenly shook its head with a maniacal smile as it corrected, “Half a day! It had only taken the First Brother half a day’s time to complete all these tasks. I’ve been here since earlier, that old dog Bao Ri’s disciples had been killed by this old father. Haha!”

The evil soul had first ascended the mountain to slaughter Bao Ri’s disciples. It had then left and rushed back again to create the impression that he had been late to the meeting.

Chang Li then exhaled a long breath. She smiled as she looked at the evil soul and said, “Looks like you’ve really messed up the situation!”

Wen Leyang too laughed bitterly as he shook his head. To his surprise, the Earth Emperor Brother Sang had been possessed by the evil soul all along. Everything has become clearer now, no wonder it had acted like a b*stard the moment it had ascended the mountain. It mocked the cultivation world before insulting the Black and White Island. In addition, aside from its plot against Bao Ri’s disciples, as long as it was there, sooner or later everyone would have been incited to fight.

The evil soul widened its sharp and pointy mouth as it laughed as well. “Still, I never expected all of you to be on G.o.ddess Peak too. Haha, this bustling scene is truly too decadent! What a waste that First Brother can’t witness this!” Upon saying that, it looked left and right as if it was trying to confirm if there was anything else it needed to do. It then burst out into laughter again. “I’ll be returning to the Black and White Island now. Take care, perhaps one of you will be captured by First Brother and dragged into the ore cave. By then, everything will become very interesting!”

The Wood Element evil soul was helpless against the crowd but they were equally helpless against it. In comparison, the person with the least burden and worry on the G.o.ddess Peak right now was this evil soul. Its laughter echoed through the mountain as its translucent green-colored body shook once in preparation to leave. Whether it was Zhui Zi, Chang Li, Qian Ren, or even Bao Ri and the Hot Immortal Aunt, a sense of unwillingness and helplessness floated onto their faces. None of them expected at this moment for a series of ululations to burst out from Wen Leyang’s chest.
