At the same time.
After a brief exchange of blows, the Guardian of Demon City narrowed his eyes and transmitted his voice: "To think they have a powerhouse of the new realm! You must leave quickly. This is merely a wisp of my consciousness and can only last for a short while; I am no match for him."
"A wisp of consciousness?"
The Inner Demon was startled.
"Right."
"Back when I integrated the Profound Meaning of Law of Life and Death into this little girl's body, I worried that someone might try to seize it in the future, so I left behind a wisp of consciousness,"
the Guardian of Demon City said secretly.
"So that's how it is."
The Inner Demon nodded in sudden realization, then turned to the Guardian of Demon City, bowed deeply, and said gratefully, "Thank you, Senior."
Because the Supreme Profound Truths had been shattered, the oppressive majesty had also vanished, allowing him to move once more.
Dong Yuexian's eyes were likewise filled with gratitude. She quickly looked at Xiaoxi and said, "Xiaoxi, he is the grandfather who gave you the Profound Meaning of Law of Life and Death. Hurry up and call him grandpa."
"Grandpa."
Xiaoxi looked curiously at the Guardian of Demon City.
Although she had seen him back then in Demon City, Xiaoxi was only just born at the time and had virtually no memories of it. Therefore, to Xiaoxi, the Guardian of Demon City was still a complete stranger.
"Good girl."
"Grow up happily, okay!"
The Guardian of Demon City gently ruffled Xiaoxi's little head.
"Okay."
Xiaoxi nodded obediently.
The Guardian of Demon City smiled faintly, then took a step forward, placing himself between the family of three and the Divine Kingdom Master, and shouted, "Go!"
The Inner Demon's Space-Time Eye opened instantly. Waves of divine light surged forth, and a spatial-temporal rift immediately tore open in the void before him.
"Grandpa, stop them!"
Dong Ping cried out.
"Dong Ping, sooner or later I'll come back and slaughter you. You'd better wash your neck and wait for me!"
The Inner Demon shot a chilling glare at Dong Ping before leading the mother and daughter into the spatial-temporal rift.
"In your dreams!"
The Divine Kingdom Master flew into a rage, the Power of Origin soaring into the sky as he lunged at the Guardian of Demon City.
"Do you have any idea who you've offended?"
"Not only have you offended me, the Guardian of Demon City, but also the various Beast Emperors of the Starry Sea. From now on, your Dong family had best never set foot in the Secret Realm again."
"Because for every one of you who enters, one of you will die."
"The Secret Realm no longer has any place for your Dong family!"
The Guardian of Demon City sneered.
"Once I obtain this Profound Meaning of Law of Life and Death, I won't need the Secret Realm anyway."
The Divine Kingdom Master laughed with a chilling sinister edge.
"Let's hope so!"
With that, the Guardian of Demon City's body burst apart, transforming into a terrifying storm that surged into the heavens. With a resounding crash, it collided head-on with the Power of Origin.
The sky-filling Power of Origin immediately scattered and dissolved. But the storm formed by the Guardian of Demon City vanished as well.
Watching this scene, the Emperor and his wife exchanged glances, a wave of relief washing over them.
No matter what, Xian'er and Xiaoxi had escaped. Perhaps they would never see their daughter and granddaughter again, but as long as the two of them were safe and sound, that was enough.
"Grandfather."
"They must have fled to the Four Continents."
"Because Qin Feiyang and the others are currently there, evacuating the people of the Three Clans."
Dong Ping shouted.
"Evacuating the people of the Three Clans?"
The Emperor and his wife were taken aback.
How did this get mixed up with the Three Clans again?
"Yes."
"The people of the Three Clans betrayed our Divine Kingdom long ago and defected to Qin Feiyang and the others."
"I'm talking about the Sovereign, the God Monarch, and the Supreme."
Dong Ping said in a deep voice.
"The Sovereign, the God Monarch, and the Supreme?"
"Weren't they killed all those years ago?"
The Emperor asked in astonishment and doubt.
"That was nothing more than an act they put on in collusion with Qin Feiyang. They never died at all, and they even went with us into the Secret Realm."
Dong Ping said with bitter resentment.
"What?"
"To think they would dare betray our Divine Kingdom!"
The Emperor was furious.
He could tolerate the matter of Dong Yuexian, but the betrayal of the Three Clans was absolutely unforgivable.
"Is that true?"
Ji Suyi looked toward the Heaven and Earth Bronze Furnace.
"Yes, as early as when they were in the Four Continents, the Sovereign and the others had already joined forces with Qin Feiyang's side."
The Heaven and Earth Bronze Furnace said.
"Damn them!"
Ji Suyi was also filled with sudden, boiling rage.
"That's right, they all deserve to die!"
The Divine Kingdom Master spoke coldly, then closed his eyes, his perception expanding infinitely outward.
...
Meanwhile.
The Four Continents.
Supreme Mountain.
At this moment, it was a sea of people here as well. The Human clan Supreme and the various venerable masters stood high in the air, their expressions extremely grave.
"Supreme, why are we suddenly evacuating?"
Everyone looked at the Human clan Supreme, filled with confusion and incomprehension.
The Human clan Supreme remained silent. For the moment, he didn't even know how to explain this matter.
Swish!
At that very moment, four figures appeared—none other than Qin Feiyang, Long Chen, Mo Xiaoke, the Sovereign, and the God Monarch.
"Qin Feiyang, Long Chen!"
The moment they laid eyes on the two, the people of Supreme Mountain reacted just like the Dragon clan originally had, their expressions changing drastically as if facing a formidable enemy.
"Have you finished evacuating everyone?"
The Supreme looked at the Sovereign and the God Monarch and asked.
"My Purple-Gold Divine Dragon Clan has fewer members, so our evacuation was faster, but the God clan hasn't finished quite as quickly."
The Sovereign shook his head.
The Supreme frowned and turned his gaze to the God Monarch.
The God Monarch said, "The direct bloodline members of the God clan have all been evacuated; only the collateral and branch lineages are still packing up. We'll go evacuate them shortly."
"A sudden evacuation like this must have caused quite a bit of turmoil, right!"
The Human clan Supreme sighed.
"Yes."
The God Monarch nodded.
With a matter this huge, how could it not cause turmoil? But there was no time to explain right now; evacuation came first.
"Are the people of Supreme Mountain mostly all gathered here?"
The Sovereign asked.
"Yes."
"But our Human clan is simply too numerous."
"If we are to evacuate everyone, it will probably take several days."
"I'm afraid time won't permit it!"
The Human clan Supreme was heavy with worry.
"We can only evacuate as many as we can!"
The Sovereign sighed.
"Right."
"Let's move the people of Supreme Mountain into the True Martial World first."
The God Monarch nodded.
"That's all we can do."
The Human clan Supreme let out a single sigh, only hoping the Inner Demon could buy them a bit more time. He then turned to Qin Feiyang and said, "Begin!"
Qin Feiyang waved his hand, and an invisible force immediately surged down toward Supreme Mountain below.
"Supreme, what is the meaning of this?"
"Why are you with Qin Feiyang?"
"And also, what was that you said just now about moving us to the True Martial World? Is that true?"
The people were filled with suspicion and shock.
"We'll explain everything to you afterward."
"For now, do not resist."
The Human clan Supreme said.
"That's right."
"Trust the Supreme; the Supreme would never harm us."
The various venerable masters also spoke up one after another.
Only then did the crowd quiet down.
Qin Feiyang executed a thought, and the people before his eyes, including the various venerable masters, vanished entirely in an instant.
"Qin Feiyang, bad news."
"The Inner Demon has already opened the Space-Time Eye and fled with Dong Yuexian and Xiaoxi."
"And the Divine Kingdom Master already knows everything; he is currently searching for our whereabouts."
At that moment, Mu Qing's voice suddenly rang in Qin Feiyang's mind.
This was the task Qin Feiyang had entrusted to Mu Qing—to open the Heaven-Connecting Eye within the True Martial World and keep watch on the Inner Demon's movements. Therefore, everything that had transpired at Emperor Capital Mountain was known to Mu Qing.
Hearing this, Qin Feiyang's expression stiffened, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did they flee to?"
"Great Qin."
Mu Qing replied.
"Great Qin?"
Qin Feiyang was slightly taken aback.
How could they flee to Great Qin?
"The Inner Demon did this to protect Dong Yuexian and Xiaoxi."
"Because whether they fled to the Four Continents or the Tianyun World, true safety would be impossible."
"Besides, the Inner Demon has never been to the Tianyun World, so he doesn't have its coordinates."
Mu Qing said.
"So that's how it is."
Qin Feiyang came to a sudden understanding.
"Not good, the Divine Kingdom Master is coming!"
Mu Qing roared.
"So fast?"
Qin Feiyang's expression shifted, and he hastily raised his head to look up into the sky.
"What are you looking at?"
Long Chen, the Sovereign, and the others looked on in doubt.
"The Divine Kingdom Master is here."
Qin Feiyang's gaze turned solemn.
"What?"
"Then what about the Inner Demon?"
Long Chen asked.
"The Inner Demon is fine; he opened the Space-Time Eye and fled to Great Qin with Xiaoxi and Dong Yuexian."
"We must leave quickly as well."
Qin Feiyang said in a deep voice.
"Leave right now?"
The Sovereign was startled and asked, "What about the rest of the Human clan and the God clan?"
"There's no time to worry about all that anymore."
"I also agree that we must leave the Divine Kingdom immediately."
Long Chen said.
"But..."
The Human clan Supreme and the God Monarch frowned.
The humans and gods in the Four Continents numbered far beyond hundreds of millions. If they were left behind to fend for themselves, they might all perish at the hands of the Divine Kingdom Master.
"They won't."
"The others have no idea about our alliance, so the Divine Kingdom Master won't go on a massive slaughter."
Qin Feiyang shook his head.
Swish!
Right at that moment—
Boom!
High above, a terrifying aura descended.
A group of people looked up and saw several figures materialize out of thin air in the sky above.
It was none other than the Divine Kingdom Master, the Emperor and his wife, Dong Ping, and Dong Xin!
"So you really aren't dead!"
Catching sight of the Sovereign and the other two, a towering rage instantly surged throughout the Emperor's entire body.
The Sovereign and the other two felt their bodies and minds tighten.
The Divine Kingdom Master glanced briefly at the Sovereign trio, then locked his gaze directly onto Qin Feiyang, sneering, "Qin Feiyang, it's been many years. Trust you have been well since we last met?"
"Thanks to you, I'm doing just fine."
Qin Feiyang smiled faintly.
"Hmph!"
The Divine Kingdom Master let out a cold snort and asked, "Where is the Inner Demon? Why can I no longer sense his presence within the Divine Kingdom?"
"Aren't you quite formidable? How come you couldn't even stop the Inner Demon?"
Qin Feiyang mocked.
"You're courting death!"
The Divine Kingdom Master waved his hand, and the Power of Origin cascaded down from the heavens, lunging to slaughter the group.
"All of you scum, go to hell!"
Dong Ping laughed wildly and derisively.
Qin Feiyang cast a calm glance at Dong Ping, then looked at Mo Xiaoke and said, "Xiaoke, we need time."
"Meaning I can go wild and mess things up however I want?"
Mo Xiaoke stared at the rolling torrent of descending Power of Origin and giggled.
"Of course."
Qin Feiyang nodded.
"I've been waiting impatiently for a long time."
Mo Xiaoke took a step forward, her tiny figure undergoing an abrupt and dramatic shift in temperament, instantly suffused with a heaven-shaking murderous intent.
"What?"
The Divine Kingdom Master's expression shifted drastically.
This aura...
Why does it feel like a powerhouse of the new realm?
The Emperor and his wife also stared at Mo Xiaoke with faces full of shock and suspicion.
"Grandfather, you must be careful—she is a powerhouse of the new realm."
"Furthermore, she is the Skeleton King of Seven Star Island. Qin Feiyang and the others helped her break free of her undead body, which is why she left the Secret Realm with them."
Dong Ping shouted.
"The Skeleton King, a powerhouse of the new realm!"
The Divine Kingdom Master was utterly shocked.
Never had he imagined that these people would actually go to the Starry Sea and fish out such a terrifying helper.
