Chapter 468 - 419: Unfathomably Deep

Chapter 468: Chapter 419: Unfathomably Deep

"The matter with Xiaohui has been resolved, and I have given you plenty of face."

"Then, Han Wu, you will tell me: Is the Demon Emperor’s successor Cang Qiurou, or not!?"

Mrs. Sen’s expression was icy, like that of a man-eating tigress.

Her fierce aura sent an explosive shockwave through the air, shaking the very foundations of the palace.

At this moment, Sub-Venerable Han Wu met his wife’s icy gaze, his face ashen.

An undeniable fact lay between them.

The Demon Emperor’s successor they encountered that day was, without a doubt, a World Tree Immortal Body.

What made things even more complicated was that the Demon Emperor’s successor seemed to know his Divine Techniques and personal habits inside and out.

Otherwise, the successor would have surely suffered a grievous blow at his hands and would have never escaped into the gateway.

Therefore, under these circumstances, he didn’t blame his wife for questioning him.

Even he himself harbored some doubts.

But...

Recalling what the Demon Emperor’s successor had done that day, his gaze turned cold in an instant.

If he hadn’t kept a trick up his sleeve, both of his children would have fallen!

Of course, this might have also been part of the Demon Emperor’s successor’s plan.

But that didn’t matter anymore!

At this moment, Sub-Venerable Han Wu said firmly, "Xinmi, have you forgotten? Qiurou is already dead. The Demon Emperor’s successor is absolutely not her!"

Xinmi was his intimate name for Mrs. Sen.

In that instant, Mrs. Sen understood her husband’s implication.

She snapped her head up, her expression a mixture of suspicion and uncertainty.

Her original name was Yao Xinmi.

She was once a peerless prodigy of the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.

Before she had become a Saint, she was already famous across two realms. Known by the elegant title of "Fairy," she was admired by countless cultivators.

If she hadn’t been moved by Sub-Venerable Han Wu’s persistence, she might have already become the master of Crane Immortal Villa, a Mansion Master of immense power, just like the Purple Sky Manor Master.

In years past, her master, the Crane Immortal Mansion Master, had fallen, plunging the Crane Immortal Villa into great turmoil.

At that time, the Red Flame Demon Country dispatched seven Ancient Demons in succession, intending to destroy the Crane Immortal Villa.

Hearing of this, Sub-Venerable Han Wu came out of seclusion, crossed the endless ocean alone, arrived at the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life, and stood guard over the Crane Immortal Villa, holding up the sky for her.

Facing the seven Ancient Demons, Sub-Venerable Han Wu stood tall and fearless. He fought his way from one battlefield to the next, undefeated and unstoppable. He crushed the Red Flame Demon Country so thoroughly that the heavens seemed to weep blood, and his actions moved Yao Xinmi’s heart.

He had even defeated every one of the old guards from the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life.

...

"Xinmi." Sub-Venerable Han Wu said softly, taking a step forward and forcefully pulling his wife into his arms.

Mrs. Sen closed her eyes, her voice trembling. "Yue’Er... what do you plan to do about Yue’Er?"

"I will handle everything," Sub-Venerable Han Wu said, gently stroking his wife’s hair.

His gaze was deep and dark.

In his life, there were two women.

One was a righteous fairy from the Daoist Mansion of Eternal Life in the Celestial Realm.

The other was a peerless demoness from a mysterious demonic sect in the Desolate Realm.

...

RUMBLE!

The world thundered as the passage opened.

With the help of Saint Qingkong, the passage to the Carp Eagle Blessed Land opened.

The ruins of the Carp Eagle Blessed Land were desolate. The former sacred land of Flying Fierce Beasts was now nothing but crumbling walls and rubble.

Seeing this, Qingkong’s smile remained gentle.

He didn’t look down on Fang Min, Fang Hao, Fang Lanxi, and the others.

He knew that under Fang Yang’s leadership, the Fang clan was already on the path to rising.

This was a process that no one could stop.

Within the Changkong clan alone, the rise of the Fang had prompted every other family and branch to make preparations.

Some lay dormant, while others tried to ride the tide, but all were acting in their own ways.

But no matter what, no one could ignore the power of the Fang.

White clouds drifted across the azure sky.

Qingkong floated in the air, vigilantly watching his surroundings.

He had a slender figure and a handsome face, like a scholar-general. His temperament was refined, and a shimmering, cyan divine light glowed around him.

But today, the members of the Fang clan were even more dazzling than he was.

"The Carp Eagle Blessed Land... we finally took it back! Waaaah..."

"Hahaha, we’re back! We’re finally back!"

The white-haired elders were either laughing hysterically or wailing their hearts out.

To see this day, they had done far, far too much.

Countless sons of the Fang clan had died full of regret because the Carp Eagle Blessed Land could not be reclaimed.

Now that the Carp Eagle Blessed Land had been returned, they had so much they wanted to say.

"Among you, who will refine the core of the Carp Eagle Blessed Land and take control of the Earth Spirit?"

Qingkong finally asked after a long while.

An Earth Spirit is formed from the residual will of a Saint.

But an Earth Spirit is no longer a Saint. It is merely a fragment of pure obsession, quite rigid in its ways.

As long as one meets the Earth Spirit’s standards, they can gain its acknowledgment and become the master of the Blessed Land.

Of course, given how ruined the Carp Eagle Blessed Land was, one could also just refine it by force.

"Refine the core and control the Earth Spirit?!"

Because Fang Yang looked down on the Carp Eagle Blessed Land, the only people in the Fang clan currently capable of refining the Blessed Land’s core were Fang Min and Fang Hao.

At this moment, Fang Lanxi, the clan elders, and the others all turned their gazes toward Fang Min and Fang Hao.

Fang Min was tall and beautiful, but a longsword hovered around her, shrouded in sharp Sword Qi that made it difficult for anyone to look at her for too long.

Fang Hao wore a simple smile. His eyes were gentle and his temperament was steady, like a Xuanwu. An azure light radiated from him, protecting those around him.

In truth, taking control of the Carp Eagle Blessed Land had both advantages and disadvantages.

The advantage was that its master could use the Carp Eagle Earth Spirit to enter the Void Heaven and conduct various trades.
