After Qin Shi flew out of the mansion, the afterimage instantly shattered into countless baleful auras. The mansion floated in the cold wind for half a second before it was shattered into powder with a bang.
Seeing this scene, the children of the outer realms were all stunned.
After leaving the mansion, Qin Shi headed straight for the inner realms. The inner realms were in the east of the outer realms. Beyond the fifth district, there was a semi-transparent void formation. Inside that formation was the inner realms.
However, before Qin Shi reached the formation, he suddenly frowned and waved his hand, sending out three lightning bolts behind him.
Seeing the lightning bolts, the expressions of Yu Wenshang and the others darkened. Zhao Xin and the others even trembled slightly in the lightning bolts. A hint of fear appeared on their faces.
Bang!
Yu Wenshang raised his hand, and his personal domain expanded from his body. The power within it was instantly sucked out, and the lightning bolts were shattered.
Zhao Xin and the others immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They looked at Qin Shi strangely. "How did he suddenly become so strong?"
When they saw the five pairs of bloody eyes on Qin Shi's forehead, they were completely flustered.
Qin Shi wasn't surprised that the lightning bolts were blocked. He said sternly, "Why are you following me?"
"The same as you." Yu Wenshang was very direct.
When Qin Shi heard this, he laughed mockingly. "Haha, there's no need. If it weren't for you, Kong Hyun-hui wouldn't have ended up like this. You were the one who harmed her from the beginning. Why are you pretending now?"
"Qin Shi, what nonsense are you spouting?" Wu Ning said angrily.
"I'm spouting nonsense?
Isn't that the case? "
"Of course not. My big brother was also used. He deeply loved my sister-in-law. Do you think he was willing to see something happen to her?" Wu Ning stomped her feet angrily. "Do you know?
Do you know how my big brother used to treat my sister-in-law?
Do you know that ever since my big brother came out of seclusion, he hasn't smiled from the bottom of his heart. Do you know that when he first found out about my sister-in-law's misfortune, he even secretly blamed himself to the point of crying? What right do you have to say that about my big brother …! "
"Enough!" Yu Wenshang reached out to stop Wu Ning.
Wu Ning's heart ached as she shouted, "Big Brother …!"
Yu Wenshang shook his head. The disappointment in his expression was self-evident. "He's right. I've harmed Xianhui."
Qin Shi's expression was a little strange as he stared at Yu Wenshang. He opened and closed his mouth a few times but didn't say a word. Even though he knew that Yu Wenshang was also a pawn, no matter what, without Yu Wenshang, Kong Hyun-hui wouldn't have come to the Chaotic Lands. He still couldn't forgive Yu Wenshang.
He shook his head. "Don't follow me. If you're willing to save them, then you can save them yourselves. Our paths are different."
With that, he turned to leave. However, Yu Wenshang suddenly waved at him and tossed a golden token to Qin Shi.
"Take this. You won't be able to enter the Inner Reaches without the Inner Reaches waist medallion. You won't be able to break the second protective spell formation connecting the Outer Reaches to the Inner Reaches."
Looking at the token falling in a parabola, Qin Shi was stunned for a moment before he caught it.
Then, he hesitated for a moment and left without a word.
Looking at his retreating silhouette, Wu Ningyu's face flushed red. "What an idiot!"
"Big Brother, what should we do?" Zhao Xin asked.
Yu Wenshang squinted and sighed. "No matter what, I can't let anything happen to Xianhui. Since he doesn't want us to be together, then we'll part ways."
Then, he turned to Zhao Xin. "Brothers, this time, I'm begging you. You have to help me save Xianhui."
"Big Brother, what are you saying?
We'll definitely help you. "Zhao Xin and the others panicked.
"Sister Xianhui is not only your woman, she is also our sister-in-law. Besides, if it weren't for Big Brother's kindness, I'm afraid we would still be mere martial artists. How could we have such a glorious life now?"
"Yeah, I haven't lived for long, but I'm still more interesting than those old monsters who are hundreds of years old. Even if I die now, I'd be satisfied," Tianyang said casually.
Yu Wenshang forced a smile as he looked at his brothers. This was probably the greatest consolation for him in such a hopeless situation, right?
"Then I'll have to trouble you brothers." Yu Wenshang took a deep breath and said to the four, "Come, let's return to the Inner Reaches."
The four of them broke through the void formation side by side.
Qin Shi was one step ahead of them. After entering the Inner Reaches, he furrowed his brows. The Inner Reaches and the Outer Reaches were like two different worlds. The pavilions in the Inner Reaches were all suspended in the sky. They had four green tiles and were richly ornamented. Below them, there were misty clouds. Qin Shi felt that this was no longer the human world, but a place where immortals lived.
Most exaggerated of all, there was a natural Spirit Gathering Formation everywhere. The purity of the spiritual energy in the Inner Reaches was nothing compared to it. It was hundreds or even thousands of times purer than the outside world.
Qin Shi took a deep breath and his spirit veins surged. His blood vessels were full.
"Is this the Inner Reaches?"
He couldn't help but exclaim. If he could cultivate here, a mediocre mortal would probably reach the Heaven Realm in less than a year, right?
"No wonder Xing Moyuan wanted to enter the Inner Reaches like a madman. She didn't have to do anything here to help her break through."
But in this celestial realm, he found that there were terrifying energy waves all around him. Each wave was no weaker than the Eight Heavens Realm. Heaven Realm experts were everywhere.
"This must be the pinnacle of the human world."
Qin Shi narrowed his eyes. After almost five years, he had finally reached this place. He just hadn't expected that his first time would be like this.
"Little fellow, the little girl you're looking for is in that direction. There are six Initial Domain Realm old fellows and one Phenomenal Domain Realm old fellow there."
"Advanced Domain Realm?"
Qin Shi clicked his tongue. This lineup was a little too terrifying.
The Domain Realm was divided into three stages: Initial Domain Realm, Advanced Domain Realm, and Perfected Domain Realm.
This was what Qin Shi had learned from the Nefarious Demon. The three stages were not to be underestimated. The difference between an Initial Domain Realm and an Advanced Domain Realm was like the difference between a Heaven Realm and a Domain Realm. One was like the difference between heaven and earth.
However, even though he was shocked, Qin Shi did not cower. He flew in the direction that the demon had pointed. He was extremely careful along the way, because in the inner region, any one of them could take his life.
The Inner Reaches was very vast. It took six hours for Qin Shi to get close to the place the Nefarious Demon had pointed out. The first rays of the morning sun had dispelled the darkness.
From tens of thousands of meters away, Qin Shi could clearly see the scene in front of him with his extraordinary eyesight. In the center of the Inner Reaches, there was a huge demonic disc floating 90,000 meters in the air. Clear streams flowed around the demonic disc. The streams seemed to come from the sky and went deep into the center of the demonic disc.
The 3,000 Milky Way had fallen into a huge altar that was as dark as the night of a lunar eclipse. There was no light coming from it at all.
Behind the altar was a mysterious cave. This cave appeared out of nowhere and floated in the crack between heaven and earth. Qin Shi looked at the cave from afar and could feel an invisible piercing pain from it. It was a deep pain that pierced through his soul.
"Is that the Living Void Cave?"
Qin Shi exclaimed in shock. After that, he turned his gaze towards the altar. There were a hundred steps on the altar, and on every step, rows of resounding Sanskrit words were imprinted. The shapes of the Sanskrit words were strange, and they exuded a majestic aura.
At the end of the Sanskrit characters was a prison chain that seemed to lead to Hell. The chain was surrounded by a strong corrosive aura. On the left and right sides of the chain were the heads of two evil dragons. They rose high on the altar's wings and intertwined with each other.
At the highest point of the chain was a petite figure. She was like a willow branch in the wind, and her head was drooping. It was heartbreaking to see her like this.
"Virtuous!"
Qin Shi's eyes narrowed into a single point.
"Little fellow, be careful. Those old fellows have sensed you."
Hearing this, Qin Shi was shocked and hurriedly dodged to the left. The evil demon purposely lowered its voice and said, "Don't be nervous. They don't have time for you. The altar array is about to be activated. It's the final Bloodstain Ceremony. After the blood sacrifice begins, I will help you find the blind spot of the array outside. Attack with all your might. You only have one chance."
Qin Shi nodded. These old fellows were really arrogant, but it was also because of this that he had the opportunity to take advantage of them.
Inside the array, seven old men surrounded the black altar. These seven old men had extraordinary auras, especially the one in the middle. He should be the one who had achieved the phenomenal Domain Realm as mentioned by the Nefarious Devil. His ancient body exuded the aura of a king, and he was an untouchable existence.
"Old Chu, get ready for the blood sacrifice," said the six old men next to him respectfully.
The old man called Old Chu was called Chu Deyu. He was one of the three Protector Elders of the Chaotic Lands. He had a high status. His eyebrows flashed with sharpness. He glanced at Kong Hyun-hui's petite figure and nodded. "Yes, prepare for three years. Don't delay anymore. Otherwise, when Yu Wenshang breaks through and that force comes to visit, the entire Eight Zones will be alerted. Then, it will be troublesome."
When he mentioned that force, the other six old men's eyes flashed with fear.
"What about Yu Wenshang?"
"To be honest, that little fellow is really talented. Unfortunately, he showed up at the wrong time. The Zone Master and the other two old men aren't here. If that force finds out, the Chaotic Lands will be in big trouble. After we open the Living Void Cave, if he doesn't know his place, just kill him," said Chu Deyu indifferently. To him, Yu Wenshang wasn't a living being, but a strand of grass.
"Take your positions," said Chu Deyu again.
The six old men nodded and took their positions. The six of them floated in the air with their hands clasped behind their backs. With Chu Deyu as the center, they formed a Big Dipper Formation. Starlight suddenly surged up and shot up to the sky.
The seven starlight seemed to connect to the sky. In the early morning, stars appeared in the sky. The seven spoonfuls of starlight were especially dazzling. Even the rising sun in the east was covered by them. The Chaotic Lands became dark.
The seven beams of starlight intersected on Kong Xianhui's delicate body, causing her to tremble violently. Her delicate eyebrows furrowed in pain, but there was not the slightest trace of fear on her jade-like face. Instead, there was a sense of freedom, as if she had been liberated.
"Seven Star Blood Sacrifice!"
Chu Deyu raised his withered hand and pointed his five fingers at Kong Hyun-hui's willowy eyebrows. Kong Hyun-hui's Blood Qi was instantly shattered. Her soul was forcefully pulled out of her body by a powerful force.
