Underground, dozens of kilometers away from the Wei Capital, three black-robed men were still maintaining an array formation. A skull was spinning around.
Following that, there was a crisp cracking sound as a crack suddenly appeared on the skull!
The trio was alarmed as they turned pale with fright.
"How can this be!?" One of them roared, filled with horror and panic.
The other two immediately knelt on the ground and shouted, "Sacred Lord, please forgive us. Sacred Lord, please spare our lives."
Phew! Phew!
Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew! Phew! A ghostly aura floated out from the skull, condensing into a blurry human figure. Only a pair of eyes could be seen.
One was as dark as the netherworld, while the other was as resplendent as the stars.
This person's eyes were filled with boundless fury as he roared, "Why did I set up the trap so much earlier?
The item in the Archean Eon Realm has already vanished. The body that I have nurtured for 10,000 years has also been destroyed!
Who disrupted this Sovereign's plan!? "
"W-We don't know. We don't know." The trio trembled as they kowtowed.
So this phantom was Sacred Lord Netherworld!
"After 10,000 years of planning, such an unforeseen event occurred just as I was about to succeed in my reincarnation. Could it be that I am destined to have no fate with the Holy domain?" Sacred Lord Netherworld suddenly felt somewhat lonely.
"Sacred Lord's divine powers are unparalleled." Seeing Sacred Lord Netherworld's attitude change, the trio immediately began to flatter him.
Sacred Lord Netherworld fell silent as his fingers trembled. It was unknown what he was doing. The trio opened their mouths but did not continue speaking.
After a long while, Sacred Lord Netherworld took the initiative to pause as a strange glint flashed in his eyes. "It seems like there is still a chance for a turnaround. Unfortunately, it has to come to that.
Lord of Samsara, what I have done all these years might have been wrong. "
The three of them were confused. Who was the Master of Samsara?
"I don't have a body. It is inconvenient for me to do certain things. The three of you will have to sacrifice your lives."
Just as Sacred Lord Netherworld finished speaking, he ignored the trio's pleas. With a wave of his hand, the trio turned into a pool of black water that was eventually absorbed by Sacred Lord Netherworld.
His body also became much more corporeal. He looked left and right before disappearing from his original spot.
On the other side, Delta Aurigae saw that the Blood Shadow was speaking in human language, and from the tone and gaze, it was clearly Leng Shiqi himself!
For a moment, Delta Aurigae was a little dazed. She thought that she had accidentally caused Blood Shadow to gain consciousness.
However, the Blood Shadow continued, "I am the Leng Shiqi. Now, I only have a remnant soul left. I don't know why I am attached to the Blood Shadow.
Fortunately, I have Blood Shadow. Otherwise, this remnant soul of mine would have been completely destroyed. "
At this point, he could not help but feel a little scared, and the Delta Aurigae could not help but be shocked when they heard this!
"Didn't you go to the Ashen Essence Realm?
How did it become like this? "
Delta Aurigae asked in disbelief. As far as she knew, Leng Shiqi was always able to face any kind of predicament and escape unscathed.
Entering the Ashen Essence Realm was clearly a great opportunity, so how did he end up in such a state?
"It's a long story …" Leng Shiqi roughly explained what had happened in the Ashen Essence Realm.
He told her the first half of the story truthfully, including the fact that Meng Tiantian was Meng Tianzong and that he had the bloodline of the Astral race and the Dark Shadow race.
However, he changed the second half of the story slightly. He only said that he had encountered a spatial storm and had risked his life to escape with a remnant soul.
He did not mention anything about the Heavenly Tribulation, the giant eye, and the Nether Lord. It was not because he wanted to hide it, but because he felt that not only would it not benefit Delta Aurigae, but it would also harm her!
If Delta Aurigae knew that she would have to face the Heavenly Tribulation and the invincible giant eye if she continued cultivating, it would only cause a knot in her heart, and it might even evolve into a mental demon.
It would be detrimental to her cultivation.
Leng Shiqi planned to wait until Delta Aurigae broke through to the Heavenly Origin realm or even the Mystic Enlightening realm in the future.
"I didn't expect such a huge change in the Ashen Essence Realm. I've seen Meng Tiantian from the Myriad Laws Sect a few times. Who would have thought that she was the Heaven Ascension realm expert from ten thousand years ago!?" Even though it was only the first half of the story, it had a great impact on Delta Aurigae.
She then frowned. "Your body has been destroyed, and your soul has been destroyed. Your cultivation no longer exists. What you need to do now is to recover your cultivation as soon as possible.
Otherwise, when the news of your death spreads, the Western Wilderness Monarch's Mansion will definitely be in chaos!
Don't forget that there were many people who opposed you being conferred the title of King. Moreover, you are so powerful in the Western Wilderness Prefecture. There are many people in the Imperial Capital who can't stand you. "
Delta Aurigae was right. Leng Shiqi did not seem to have many enemies on the surface, but there were countless people who wanted to ruin his reputation and kill him!
Once Xuan Haoying and the others came out and announced his death, the Western Wilderness Monarch's Mansion would be the first to bear the brunt. Many people would definitely target them for revenge.
Although Leng Shiqi was not dead, he was only left with a remnant soul. He did not even have a real body.
If he dared to show his face and say that he was still alive, he was afraid that a large number of his enemies would immediately destroy this last remnant of his soul!
Therefore, his top priority was to find a way to recover his cultivation.
"You're right. Fortunately, I can temporarily attach myself to this blood shadow. I'll stay by your side during this period of time.
Help me find some Heaven and Earth treasures that can nourish the soul. Only by stabilizing my soul power can I enter the Underworld. Then, my life will not be in danger, "Leng Shiqi agreed.
Delta Aurigae immediately took out a green lantern from her mustard seed bracelet. "This thing is called the Netherworld Lantern. I obtained it from exterminating an evil sect. It's a seventh-grade treasure. I took it because it's not very useful.
I can give it to you. "
The moment the Netherworld Lantern appeared, Leng Shiqi felt an extremely warm feeling. His body flashed, and the blood shadow instantly shrank before entering the Netherworld Lantern.
"Phew, this thing isn't bad. It can repair my soul power very quickly. I estimate that it will take about half a month to regrow my psyche power." Leng Shiqi secretly heaved a sigh of relief and continued, "As for the Western Wilderness Monarch's Mansion, there's no need to worry for the time being.
First of all, even if Xuan Haoying returns, he might not announce my death directly because he hasn't entered the real Cangyuan Realm.
Even if I don't return, I'll at most go missing.
Prepare for the worst. If news of my death spreads, there's no need to worry about the people in the royal capital for the time being.
Someone will help me protect the Western Wilderness Monarch's Mansion. Although it won't be for long, it'll be enough to stall for some time. "
Delta Aurigae understood. The only thing she was puzzled about was who the person Leng Shiqi was talking about was.
After news of Leng Shiqi's death spread, the number of people who could protect the Western Wilderness Monarch's Mansion could be counted on one hand in the Thunderblaze Dynasty!
However, she didn't ask any further. "Recuperate here. You should be able to find some soul-nourishing treasures in Wei Capital. I'll go find some."
"Okay, sorry to trouble you."
Delta Aurigae walked out of the chamber, feeling wistful.
This time, Leng Shiqi had met with a calamity. It was naturally very difficult for Gu San to accept, but now she could finally do something for Leng Shiqi.
