The surrounding crowd trembled, cold sweat beading on their foreheads.
They felt enveloped by an endless dread.
The scent of blood permeated the air, the cultivator's body torn to shreds.
"This old geezer is quite ruthless," Jiang Li murmured, observing the scene not far away.
These cultivators were mostly at the Great Sage realm.
To casually kill a subordinate at the Great Sage realm, this Hegemon Body lineage was truly formidable.
Following this, Jiang Li examined the life scripts of the others.
He discovered many useful opportunities on them.
Jiang Li secretly noted down all the opportunities he could acquire.
Beside him, Li Qin leaned close, a slight blush on her cheeks.
Jiang Li's ethereal and detached aura had always captivated Li Qin.
"Elder Zhou, it's true, we clearly sensed their presence here just moments ago!" a cultivator clad in black and white striped robes said fearfully.
The other cultivators nodded in agreement, explaining further.
Zhou Lie Wu's expression was extremely grim, a deep sense of annoyance bubbling within him.
He was so close to finding Jiang Li, yet the person had vanished.
"Search, continue searching. If you don't find him, you know the consequences!" Zhou Lie Wu said sternly, his voice laced with chilling coldness.
The surrounding cultivators nodded like pecking chicks.
Following this, they quickly departed the area, continuing to search for the whereabouts of Jiang Li and Li Qin.
After Zhou Lie Wu and his group left, Jiang Li confirmed multiple times that they were truly gone before telling Li Qin to dismantle the formation.
"They've left, let's go back!" Jiang Li said to Li Qin in his arms.
The various major powers of the Heavenly Star Sea were now mostly gathered in Lin Xing City.
The elders and disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect were also there.
As long as they returned to Lin Xing City, their safety would be guaranteed.
Li Qin nodded, and the two of them quickly sped towards Lin Xing City.
...
Lin Xing City.
Within a large garden, rich with spiritual energy.
Fragrant, elegant spiritual plants were cultivated everywhere.
A rich fragrance and spiritual energy reverberated around, making the large garden exceptionally exquisite.
Within the garden, many cultivators wore the uniforms of the Primordial Demon Sect.
These cultivators were gathered in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.
"I didn't expect Heavenly Star to have discovered a new passage for the Evil Spirit Race, it's truly terrifying..."
"Yes, I also saw the Evil Spirit Race. They exuded extremely terrifying Evil Spirit energy, looking ferocious. If not for the elders saving me, I fear I would have died there too..."
"Will those Evil Spirit Race members come out again to invade our entire Desolate Ancient Continent?"
"Definitely not. The entire Heavenly Star Sea is now sealed by an Emperor-grade formation. Without special means, one cannot enter..."
"I heard the elders are even preparing to open a special passage for cultivators from the Central Continent to go inside and fight the Evil Spirit Race..."
"If you kill Evil Spirit Race members, the sect will provide a large amount of Saint Crystal rewards..."
"..."
These disciples of the Primordial Demon Sect chattered on, discussing the matter of the Evil Spirit Race appearing in the Heavenly Star Sea.
At this moment, the Emperor-grade formation of the Heavenly Star Sea had been fully activated.
The entire Heavenly Star Sea was completely sealed.
A large number of Evil Spirit Race members were rampaging within, slaughtering everything in their path.
The elders of the various powers were deliberating on how to deal with the Evil Spirit Race.
After all, this Emperor-grade formation could not seal the Heavenly Star Sea forever.
Measures would need to be taken to suppress and kill these Evil Spirit Race members.
Deep within the garden.
A peerlessly beautiful woman, wearing a thin veil, with a graceful figure and an imposing aura.
Beside the woman was an exceptionally handsome young man.
The young man was Jiang Li. After Zhou Lie Wu and his group left, Jiang Li had immediately returned to Lin Xing City.
Li Qin had also returned to their gathering place for the Supreme Clarity Holy Land.
"They've already taken action so quickly?" the veiled, peerless beauty's brows furrowed slightly.
A gentle breeze blew, lifting the woman's veil.
It revealed her fair and moving cherry lips, looking incredibly captivating.
It was hard to imagine the breathtaking beauty hidden beneath the veil.
Jiang Li nodded, then informed Xia Qingying of his encounter with Zhou Lie Wu and his group outside Lin Xing City.
Currently, the high-ranking officials of the Primordial Demon Sect were deliberating on how to counter the Evil Spirit Race.
Xia Qingying was handling the affairs of the Primordial Demon Sect in Lin Xing City.
Since Jiang Li was now a member of the Primordial Demon Sect, he did not need to fight the Hegemon Body lineage alone.
By leveraging the power of the Primordial Demon Sect, problems could be resolved more effectively.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, take this." Xia Qingying's cherry lips parted, and she took out two ancient talismans from her spatial ring.
These talismans were inscribed with extremely mysterious runes.
The mysterious runes were dense, like tiny tadpoles.
Jiang Li could feel a faint, profound aura emanating from them.
"This is the Nine Venerable Town Origin Talisman. When activated with spiritual energy, it can unleash a full-power strike from the ninth heaven of the Supreme realm!" Xia Qingying then explained.
Jiang Li's eyes lit up. Nine Venerable Town Origin Talisman.
With these two talismans, his safety outside would be greatly increased.
Following this, Jiang Li accepted the two talismans and stored them in his spatial ring.
The two then strolled leisurely through the garden.
Xia Qingying continued to tell Jiang Li much about the Heavenly Star Sea and the situation in the Central Continent.
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, even with the Nine Venerable Town Origin Talismans, you cannot be careless. The people of the Hegemon Body lineage are not to be feared, but you must be extremely wary of the people from the Chaos Holy Land, especially their Divine Son, Xiao Yun!" Xia Qingying seemed to recall something and then spoke.
Jiang Li's heart stirred. That Divine Son of the Chaos Holy Land...
He was the protagonist of [Chaos Emperor].
Jiang Li had not yet had the chance to meet Xiao Yun.
He wondered about his strength.
"You killed Zhou Tong. That Zhou Tong is, after all, a disciple of the Chaos Holy Land, and it is said that he had a good relationship with that Xiao Yun. Xiao Yun might very well take action against you!" Xia Qingying continued.
Upon hearing Xia Qingying's words, Jiang Li understood.
He had killed Zhou Tong, and the matter was far from over.
Aside from the Hegemon Body lineage, the Chaos Holy Land would surely target him.
Furthermore, there was the faction behind the Hegemon Body, the Inverse Immortal Cult.
The Samsara Divine Hall also frequently caused trouble.
And now, there was a new script, [Evil Emperor's Nine Heavens].
