77: Another incident

The Emperor's expression changed drastically upon hearing this.

Everyone else was somewhat numb; wave after wave, it was endless, wasn't it?

At the edge of the sky, three massive demonic beasts flew rapidly from afar, exuding an aura of looking down upon the world.

The leftmost one was a Golden Lion, its entire body golden, with golden double pupils, and its mane around its neck flew wildly, full of Domineering, with over a dozen strong cultivators standing on its back.

On the far right was a black Sky Serpent with wings, its eyes a dark blue, its entire body covered in scales, its tail forked, burning with a faint nether flame, and similarly, more than ten figures stood on its back.

In the very center was a pitch-black Violent Ape, with two huge fangs exposed to the air, crimson eyes, and a pervasive violent aura, with only one figure on its shoulder.

These demonic beasts were all over a dozen zhang in size, like small mountains, emitting a monstrous malevolent aura from their entire bodies.

Even as mounts, they all possessed the cultivation of the Spirit King Realm peak, a strength that only top sect masters in the Qingxuan Domain would have.

Among them, the black Violent Ape's aura was the most powerful, even reaching the Half-Step God-Emperor Realm.

The leader on the Golden Lion scanned the surroundings, his gaze finally falling on the weakened Emperor.

His tone was sarcastic:"Oh, isn't this Wang Zhen of the Gu Huang Domain? How is it that he can't even take down a God-Emperor Realm early-stage cultivator now?"

Clearly, the relationships among these people were not harmonious, and they naturally wouldn't miss an opportunity to kick someone when they were down.

The leader of the black Sky Serpent also said in a sneering tone:"Wang Zhen is the Emperor of the Gu Huang Domain, how could he possibly lose to a God-Emperor early-stage cultivator? Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

The mocking remark that had been heard before they even appeared was made by this person.

The figure on the black Violent Ape's shoulder did not speak, but a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

He had always looked down on Wang Zhen; despite having a perfectly good name, he acted like a sissy.

Especially this time's operation, trying to monopolize it without a sound, coupled with the other party's current pathetic state, his contempt grew even stronger.

"You!"

Wang Zhen, the Emperor of the Gu Huang Domain, was furious but helpless; these two were strong cultivators on equal footing with him, and neither of them was inferior to him in strength.

The person on the black Violent Ape's shoulder was even more unfathomable; no one knew his specific strength, but Wang Zhen usually dared to mock the other two but never dared to show the slightest disrespect towards him.

The domains where these people resided were also adjacent, all belonging to small domains, but there were still differences between them, especially a domain like Qingxuan Domain, which ostensibly didn't even have a God-Emperor Realm cultivator.

If it weren't for the great distance, it would have been taken down long ago.

The culprits behind the destruction of the Qingxuan Sect were the people from these several domains who had joined forces.

It was all for the divine ability on Mu Yunsong.

If the Gu Huang Domain hadn't had their informants, Wang Zhen might have truly monopolized it.

"Wang Zhen, is the item in the hands of the person who injured you?"

The person on the black Violent Ape's shoulder finally spoke, his tone indifferent.

Upon hearing this, a trace of fear flashed across Wang Zhen's face, and he weakly said:"Indeed, the reason I was injured by him is precisely this."

He was originally about to succeed, but these people appeared again, damn it!

Wang Zhen was very angry in his heart, only hoping that the other party would share it with him according to their previous agreement after obtaining it.

He was still somewhat uneasy in his heart, because he had been the first to violate the agreement between them, and if the other party forcefully refused to give it, he would have no way to stop him.

Hearing Wang Zhen's reply, the three leaders all turned their gazes towards Mu Yunsong, who was meditating and recuperating in mid-air.

A hint of fervor and greed flashed in their eyes.

Feeling their gazes, a trace of despair inevitably arose in Mu Yunsong's heart.

Just dealing with Wang Zhen of the Gu Huang Domain had already taken all his strength and exacted a heavy price.

Now, all the former culprits had appeared, and he could only watch helplessly.

Thoughts raced through his mind, thinking of destroying the divine ability with himself rather than leaving it to the other party.

He just felt somewhat ashamed towards the sect, as he hadn't passed on the divine ability in his hands to a suitable successor.

His gaze inadvertently swept towards Fang Qingshan, who was beside the Chang Sheng Sect, and he secretly sighed.

Under the watchful eyes of the enemy, it was impossible to secretly pass on the inheritance to the other party.

The phantom on the Violent Ape's shoulder was a Ghost-Masked Man wearing a black outfit, who radiated an imposing aura without even getting angry, and his presence was much stronger than that of Wang Zhen and the others.

He came from the Yinshan Domain, ruling the entire domain.

The other two came from the Sky Serpent Domain and the Golden Lion Domain respectively; their domains were adjacent, and they frequently interacted.

The Ghost-Masked Man from the Yinshan Domain was ruthless and had once caused boundless slaughter within the Yinshan Domain.

Even mortal kingdoms had suffered at his hands, and eventually, he killed his way to a point where no one dared oppose him, unifying the domain.

He looked at Mu Yunsong and said indifferently:"Hand over the item, and I can guarantee you a quick death."

His cultivation method was very peculiar, and he had a deep understanding of soul extraction and refinement, seemingly unafraid of the other party's refusal.

Because he was confident that even if the other party wanted to self-destruct, he could control him immediately and extract the memories from his soul.

"Heh heh, a bunch of rats, how can you be worthy of such a treasure? Even if I die, I will not leave it to you to harm the world!"

Mu Yunsong's eyes were calm, his heart set on death, ready to destroy the divine ability with himself at any moment.

But the next moment, a thick, ghost-energy-shrouded hand appeared out of thin air in front of him, gripping his neck and lifting him up.

"Your life and death are not in your hands."

The Ghost-Masked Man said coldly.

As he spoke, a black aura sealed Mu Yunsong's soul, preventing him from ending his own life, and then he was violently thrown out.

Coincidentally, the spot where Mu Yunsong crashed was on the blade of the towering giant sword on Qingxuan Mountain Peak.

He slid down the sword, struggling to support his body on the ground, his eyes full of mockery.

Did the other party think that by sealing his soul, he couldn't destroy the divine ability with himself? When these people appeared, he had already bound his life to the divine ability.

When his life came to an end, the divine ability book would also be destroyed, and the other party, no matter how strong, would not be able to stop it.

As for wanting to search his soul, as long as the other party had that thought, his soul would dissipate and turn to ashes the moment they tried to search it.

The Ghost-Masked Man saw the mockery in the other party's eyes, and his brows couldn't help but furrow.

Just as he was about to say something, the towering giant sword behind Mu Yunsong suddenly shook violently, and iron filings continuously fell from its blade, revealing its rusty bronze blade.

"Alas!"

An aged voice rang out, and a stream of light flew out from the hilt of the bronze giant sword, then transformed into a phantom.

It was an old man in green robes, his eyes full of the vicissitudes of life, and he let out a light sigh.

This sudden change made Mu Yunsong tremble all over, his expression excited, but it caused the Ghost-Masked Man and the others' faces to change drastically, as if facing a formidable enemy.
