140: Chapter 140 Bai Fangqian Offers a Helping Hand

One must never linger in battle here and invite trouble upon oneself.

One must know that Dark Temptation Castle does not merely imply the existence of a single strongest combatant at the Peak.

Behind it lies the resource and troop reserve of an entire castle.

There are endless abyssal demons, as well as strange aberrations that human Cultivators have fallen into becoming.

Even if he possessed the overwhelming strength of the Venerable Realm during his lifetime, he would not dare to provoke it recklessly.

Because that would be like a hornet's nest; once poked, it is equivalent to inviting endless trouble for oneself.

Moreover, the enemy is in the dark while I am in the light, and there is a constant possibility of being blindsided by them at any moment.

And thus, sink into the Yellow Springs alongside one's own life.

However, today is different from the past; Dark Temptation Castle has already been extinguished.

The stunning woman before him is merely lingering on in her final breaths.

Even if she possesses Dark Temptation Castle, how much combat power can she really have?

At most, they are just the stragglers that slipped through the net back then, a few small fries accumulated over time.

How could they possibly withstand a fierce strike from him, a powerhouse of the Venerable Realm who has escaped ascension?!

In a flash of a thousand thoughts, his inner sense of trepidation vanished completely.

"You are merely someone attempting to chase a shadow from the past."

Although he has been sealed here for a long time, he has not been cut off from contact with the outside world.

Through those who have intruded into the Secret Realm, he can roughly obtain relevant information about the outside world.

He knows that in times of chaos across the continents, there is often someone who enters the fray to take advantage of the situation.

Presumably, this person is Bai Fangqian.

"Giggle! I didn't expect you to know quite a lot."

Bai Fangqian immediately developed a bit of interest in the identity of the demon before her.

However, among those who have ever piqued her interest in this way, none have had a good ending so far.

They all met their end in absolute misery, departing from this world.

"It seems you are not some demon who was wiped out right after emerging into the world."

"Your Physical Body is currently dead, and your spiritual Realm is nearing the point where you cannot even save yourself."

"In that case, it suits my intentions perfectly."

Bai Fangqian thought to herself that if she wanted to construct a space-time tunnel to create a short-term connection between this place and the Ancient Battlefield of Heavenly Demons on the Nine Heavens God-Demon Continent, she would inevitably need to use the power of a demon.

And right now, this is a once-in-a-thousand-years opportunity!

This demon, without her having to hunt for it, has already delivered itself to her doorstep.

It truly fits the saying: 'Searching high and low, only to find it without any effort.'

Everything seemed to move according to her will.

"Ignorant woman, do you truly think you can manipulate me?"

"Let me show you what it means to possess the surging and majestic strength of one who was once at the Peak of the Venerable Realm."

In an instant, the surrounding Spiritual Qi rose from the ground out of thin air like a tornado.

Carrying an unrivaled Aura, it rushed toward Mangtian Luanmo's body.

And his body suddenly split open with a large crack.

It resembled a spatial tear, like a river stained with blood.

From that huge gap, a monster's head, resembling a gaping abyss, grew out.

At the same time, that monster's head was not simple; it was filled with faces of all shapes and sizes.

There were men and women, old and young, from the Human Race, the Yao Race, the God Race, the Demon Race, and even other races of various forms.

They flickered on and off, appearing and disappearing.

"It seems you are a demon who has cultivated the Soul-Devouring Scripture?"

After seeing that incredibly terrifying scene, Bai Fangqian felt no fear in her heart; instead, it was as if she had seen something very familiar.

"How do you know the secret of the Soul-Devouring Scripture?" A look of astonishment appeared on Mangtian Luanmo's face.

The Soul-Devouring Scripture is not actually a Cultivation Technique, but rather a secret art.

Moreover, this secret art has quite massive side effects.

Even these side effects can affect all races.

The God Race and the Demon Race are no exceptions.

Do not be fooled by Mangtian Luanmo's current appearance, filled with sinister Devilish Qi; in the past, he was far from the evil and malevolent entity he is today.

It was precisely to pursue the path of becoming stronger that he cultivated the Soul-Devouring Scripture, which he obtained by chance.

This also allowed him to take a giant step forward in his cultivation Realm at the Venerable Realm.

"Guess why I know your identity as a demon and why I would insist on descending here?"

At this moment, Bai Fangqian looked at Gu Qingge with a charming smile, while the corner of her eye glanced casually at Mangtian Luanmo.

This was a form of undisguised contempt!

"You, you are simply bullying this demon too much!"

Mangtian Luanmo was nearly enraged with shame, and the violent Qi in his heart surged, almost reaching a tangible level.

He had a premonition that the appearance of this woman gave him a profound sense of crisis.

If the situation continued to stalemate like this, he would very likely be buried here.

Consequently, he could not help but think about the key to breaking the deadlock.

"It seems that being sealed here has not increased your intelligence much!"

Turning her head, Bai Fangqian revealed a rather regretful and coquettish expression.

Her tone was like that of a compassionate person feeling heartbroken.

It was also like the rising momentum of a slaughtering soul on a rainy night, a single thought spanning a hundred Reincarnations.

As the person involved in causing this turmoil, Gu Qingge did not express much.

Mangtian Luanmo, needless to say, is definitely not a good bird.

As for Bai Fangqian, he had quite a thoughtful mind regarding her.

This woman is beautiful and alluring, by no means comparable to the ordinary women of this world.

Now that she has actually stood up for him, presumably there must be a deeper secret or scheme hidden behind this.

As a Cultivator who has not yet risen to the Peak, sometimes, one must have the necessary awareness.

Just like now, minimizing his presence as much as possible, to avoid being indirectly taken out by the two of them when they unleash their strongest killing moves with their Spiritual Qi.

"Hmph, I hope you can still laugh in a moment."

Mangtian Luanmo used the fluctuations of Spiritual Qi in the air as a murderous blade.

After inciting a riot of Spiritual Qi and creating a chaotic situation filled with the smoke of war, he watched from afar as the two were about to sink and perish under this powerful killing move that combined both form and spirit.

...

"This place is truly lively."

"Or should I say, is this what is called the legendary 'luring the snake out of its hole'?"

In Beiming Qiuzhi's heart, although it was impossible for Gu Qingge to be completely unharmed, at the very least, he would be able to retreat unscathed for the time being.

As for why she said "for the time being," it was mainly because his fate had already gone from the end of one Reincarnation to the beginning of another.

Since Bai Fangqian could appear here and even actively block a fatal blow for him, it must mean that what she is plotting is no small matter.

Therefore, although Gu Qingge's situation has changed, in reality, he has just left the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.

"Young Miss, that woman is very difficult to provoke. We must not be enemies with her or oppose her."

"Oh? Is that so?" This was the first time Beiming Qiuzhi had seen Liusu be so frightened by someone.

Since that was the case, it was enough to prove that the other party's identity was not simple or that her strength was at an extremely high Realm.

"Can you see her approximate strength?"

"Cannot say, cannot say." Liusu shook her head, repeating these two phrases in a low, delicate voice.

Her eyes were filled with horror and fear.

As if she had seen a great terrifying event in the human world!
