Seeing the intelligence from the Ascendant Faction once more, Chu Xuan suddenly became alert. "The queen believes that the strife between the Slaughter Faction and the Husbandry Faction is an opportunity for the Ascendant Faction to rise. Having bided their time, they are now prepared to seize a major city from the Husbandry Faction." Chu Xuan perused this report with keen interest and chuckled with intrigue."The Ascendant Faction!" Chu Xuan exclaimed. "It is precisely this Ascendant Faction! No matter how fiercely the Slaughter Faction and the Husbandry Faction fight, it remains an internal matter of the soul clans. But if the Ascendant Faction were to suddenly rise and their strength surge significantly, it would certainly alarm the Slaughter King and the Greedy King. If the Ascendant Faction becomes strong enough that even the specter kings under their command cannot handle them, and if they even threaten their so-called palaces, then the Slaughter King and the Greedy King would d

The queen was left speechless as Yun Qi and Ma Nanshan wiped away their facial disguises, revealing their true identities. The sight of those familiar faces struck terror into her heart as if she were seeing the dead rise from hell to claim her life.Yun Qi stated calmly, "The queen's orders are mistaken; the Dark Cloud Squad refuses to comply."Ma Nanshan followed suit, and soon, other members of the Ascendant Faction echoed their sentiment. One after another, the squads declared their defiance: "The queen's orders are mistaken! The Hundred Leaves Squad refuses to comply!" "The queen's orders are mistaken! The Black Bird Squad refuses to comply!" Each declaration was like a dagger to the queen's heart. At that moment, she felt as if the whole world was distancing itself from her.Yun Qi, expressionless, declared, "The queen's mind is impaired. The Dark Cloud Squad has decided to respectfully ask the queen to retire to her chambers to rest. Does anyone object?"Ma Nanshan was the firs

Despite the black light's speed, the Sky-Tearing Cold Palm was faster. In the blink of an eye, Chu Xuan had grasped the black light in his hand, which then transformed into a grotesque, bloated human face. The face exhaled a cloud of dark mist, catching Chu Xuan off guard and momentarily clouding his senses. Still, Chu Xuan's soul, refined through the heavenly dew of the Dao and extraordinarily solid, quickly recovered from the confusion."You think to devour me? Watch as I devour you!" The face cackled menacingly and charged towards Chu Xuan's soul body, colliding with it and causing havoc inside.Two Arms watched anxiously, exclaiming, "Father! Are you alright?"Chu Xuan displayed a curious expression. "It's fine, just wait on the side." Initially, this fragment of his soul was only a tenth of his original self. After consuming numerous specter kings, it had grown to approximately a third of his original soul's strength. The essence of his soul was extraordinarily robust. To compare

Meanwhile, Hun Tan used this brief respite to launch another assault on Chu Xuan, reigniting his Great Devouring Palm with full force. He knew his window was closing rapidly. His only chance to tip the scales was to eliminate this peculiar spirit and reclaim his other half.Chu Xuan, wearing a cryptic smile, responded, "You want to take back your half? I'm sorry, I've already devoured it."With those words, he suddenly concentrated his consciousness, and in the blink of an eye, he too manifested a Great Devouring Palm, striking towards Hun Tan. Hun Tan's eyes widened in disbelief. The Great Devouring Palm was his creation, a secret technique known only to him. How had this spirit learned it?The clash of the Great Devouring Palms created a vortex of terrifying absorption power. As Hun Tan and Chu Xuan's palms met, their soul bodies began to rapidly transform into one another's substance. Moments later, Hun Tan, in horror, realized his Great Devouring Palm couldn't match Chu Xuan's. Ch

Chu Xuan's frown deepened. What madness had overtaken this woman? "Very well, lead me to the main hall," he said, striding out of the cultivation chamber.In the grand hall of Black Devil Peak, Zhong Yan sat on a rosewood chair, sipping spiritual tea, her eyebrows deeply furrowed in concern over some matter. Bai Jinkun, on the other hand, dared not sit nor even drink the tea, pacing back and forth instead.Zhong Yan frowned. "Senior brother, stop pacing; you're making me dizzy. Sit down."Bai Jinkun shook his head. "No, I cannot sit, I must not sit."Zhong Yan looked puzzled. "Why? What's stopping you from sitting? This is Black Devil Peak, not the main peak where our master resides."Bai Jinkun forced a smile and couldn't help but advise, "Junior sister, I've said it before, just leave now. Do not start a feud with junior brother Lin over this matter."Zhong Yan massaged her temples. "I just wanted to swap some of my holdings for those of junior brother Lin. How is that picking a fig
