Chapter 441 - 447: Destroying the Corpse and Erasing All Traces

The Huo Clan Leader’s expression twisted for a moment. He clearly refused to believe he had been played by Huo Jinchuan.

All this time, it had been him making Huo Jinchuan run around in circles.

"You think I’ll believe you?"

His frigid gaze fell upon Song Wanning, filled with the desire to grind her bones to dust.

Song Wanning suddenly broke into a brilliant smile.

"Whether you believe me or not, what does it matter? I just need to clean up this mess and wait for you to abdicate!"

With that, she abruptly raised her Longsword and slashed at the Huo Clan Leader.

The Huo Clan Leader was so amused by her confidence that he laughed in anger.

"How absurdly overconfident!"

’With a single sword strike like that, I could send her flying with a casual wave of my hand.’

’What a blindly arrogant fool.’

However, just as he moved to counter, a small crack appeared in the restrictive barrier.

Baili Shang seized the opportunity, diving straight for the crack and meeting the Huo Clan Leader’s palm strike head-on.

He spat a mouthful of blood, but instead of retreating, he advanced, using the force of the blow to propel himself out of the barrier.

Seeing this, the Huo Clan Leader let out a cruel smile. Just as he was about to strike again, two bolts of Divine Thunder suddenly descended without any warning.

One came straight for him, while the other headed for the ice bed.

His pupils contracted. His eyes filled with disbelief, and before he even had a chance to react, the Divine Thunder struck him squarely.

"BOOM—"

The ice bed was also struck by the Divine Thunder.

Through the majestic Power of thunder and lightning, the Huo Clan Leader watched with his own eyes as the ice bed was utterly destroyed.

He watched as that corpse was blasted into flying ash by the Divine Thunder, scattering into the air.

The Huo Clan Leader’s eyes widened. He was completely stunned, even forgetting to counter-attack.

Only when not a single trace of the corpse remained did he violently accept reality. His eyes turned blood-red as he roared, "NO—"

But it was all over.

Meng’er’s body had completely disintegrated, and along with it, the last remnant of her soul that had been preserved was also obliterated by the Divine Thunder.

"AHH—"

Something deep inside the Huo Clan Leader completely shattered. The obsession he had held for so many years broke in an instant, devastating his mind and spirit and causing him to vomit blood continuously.

His Dao Heart was also affected at this moment, and he nearly suffered a cultivation deviation.

He broke free from the Divine Thunder, his eyes bloodshot with killing intent, ready to grind Song Wanning and the other to dust.

But when he emerged, he found that Song Wanning and Baili Shang were nowhere to be seen.

They had long since fled.

"BITCHES!!!! Just you wait! If I don’t kill you, I’ll renounce my surname, Huo!!!!!!"

He was seething with rage, unconsciously unleashing his power wildly in all directions.

Yet the vile anger in his heart would not dissipate; it was filled to the brim with fury.

It wasn’t until ten minutes had passed that he finally calmed down.

The Huo Clan Leader looked all around, and a single tear slid from the corner of his eye.

The thought of resurrecting Meng’er was now completely severed. For him, it was agony, but also a kind of release.

"Meng’er, rest assured. Whether it’s Huo Jinchuan or those two bastards, I won’t let a single one of them go."

"I will not let you die in vain like this. I will avenge you!"

He snapped his head up, his eyes filled with a turbulent storm.

’Regardless of whether Huo Jinchuan is the true mastermind, he must die.’

...

"BANG—"

Song Wanning, her wrist held tightly by Baili Shang, suddenly plummeted from the sky and crashed to the ground.

"Cough, cough, cough—"

Baili Shang, his injuries not yet healed, couldn’t stop coughing.

Song Wanning thought for a moment, then took out some Elixir Pills and handed them to him.

’We’re partners now, so we should help each other for the time being.’

’If Baili Shang betrays me later, I definitely won’t show any mercy.’

Lifting her head, Song Wanning looked around. They had used the Teleportation Talisman to arrive in a different place, far from the Huo Clan Leader’s reach.

But they would certainly be hunted now, so they had to be extremely careful.

"Thanks."

Baili Shang took the Elixir Pills without hesitation. As he felt the speed at which they repaired his body, a faint light gleamed in his eyes.

’Song Wanning’s unique Alchemy method not only enhances the Elixir Pills’ efficacy but also makes them absorb faster.’

’It’s no wonder I lost to her.’

"Don’t mention it. If it weren’t for your talisman treasure, we would’ve been doomed."

Song Wanning smiled, getting to her feet to survey their surroundings.

They were now in a jungle, surrounded by dense shrubbery, with no sign of any demon beasts.

The Teleportation Talisman’s range was limited, so they were likely still within the Huo Family’s territory.

"Once the Huo Clan Leader comes to his senses, he’ll immediately put a warrant out for our arrest. We have to leave this place as soon as possible and find the Demon God Tomb first."

Baili Shang also got up and took the initiative to speak to Song Wanning.

"As for Huo Jinchuan, if you want revenge, now is not the time..."

He was worried Song Wanning was still thinking about getting revenge on Huo Jinchuan, but Huo Jinchuan had escaped, and they had no idea where he was.

’It would be better to find the Demon God Tomb first. Once I obtain the Demon God’s origin and my power soars, then I can go find Huo Jinchuan and take my revenge.’

Little did he know, his proposal was exactly what Song Wanning wanted.

"Alright!"

She nodded, her heart also filled with curiosity about the Demon God Tomb.

’It’s also a Demon God Tomb, but I wonder what kind of surprises the Spirit Realm’s version will hold.’

’If I could see the Demon God’s remnant soul again, that would be for the best.’

So, the two of them immediately followed the route provided by Baili Shang and headed for the Demon God Tomb.

And this route was indeed different from the map he had initially shown, proving that Baili Shang had indeed hidden the real map.

But Song Wanning could understand. After all, for something like this, who would casually trust an outsider?

The two of them passed through the jungle smoothly and then hurriedly flew towards another mountain.

Worried about being pursued, they didn’t dare enter any cities, constantly traveling through the outskirts instead.

But despite this, they still ran into members of the Huo Family conducting searches.

In just one short day, the Huo Family had already set up checkpoints in every town, and portraits of the two of them were hanging prominently above the city gates.

The bounty was astonishingly high.

It seemed the Huo Clan Leader utterly detested them.

But Baili Shang wasn’t nervous. Instead, he took out two masks and handed one to Song Wanning.

"Put this on. No one will be able to recognize us."

"Unless the Huo Clan Leader shows up in person."

Even the best concealment methods had Cultivation limits; they were useless in front of a truly powerful master.

But against these people, it was more than enough.

"Okay."

Song Wanning put on the mask, changing her appearance to that of a handsome young man, and set her apparent Cultivation to the Nascent Soul Stage.

Meanwhile, Baili Shang changed into a middle-aged man with a Void Refining Stage Cultivation.

The two looked at each other; not a trace of their former selves could be seen. An ordinary person would indeed be unable to tell them apart.

Song Wanning followed behind Baili Shang as they walked toward the city gate.

Their path was now cut off, so their only option was to travel through the city. Fortunately, as the Young Master of the Demon Clan, Baili Shang had plenty of strange and curious items on him.
