Chapter 1378: The Creator
"You should go now and bring the two druids to Ling Yun as quickly as possible." Zhou Yu wanted to argue, but Zhizun Buxiu immediately opened the void and threw her inside. "He still needs your help, so you should leave now. As for me, I will stop those two people."
Zhou Yu didn’t say anything else and led the two druids to leave the area, leaving Zhizun Buxiu behind. "Is this really the end? I’ve lived for so long, and I have no other opponent besides Xie Zuzhou. However, these two uninvited guests are far stronger than us, and they are immortals."
*Crack... Crack...*
*Boom*
The barrier protecting Zhizun Buxiu’s private domain finally shattered, and everything within it instantly merged with the Peach Garden Valley. He didn’t pay attention to the white-haired woman, but he was completely wary of the golden-haired woman. ’Are they really not living beings like Ling Yun said before? I can’t feel their auras or presence.’
"We’re too late, leader." The white-haired woman narrowed her eyes at Zhizun Buxiu. "Are we going to kill this human?"
"Do you think we can kill this human today, Bai Fa?" The white-haired woman was confused by the golden-haired woman’s question, but two gates suddenly appeared before them. Moments later, two men and two women walked out of them. "See? Huang Lingzhu must have gotten information about us from Sheng Ming, and she sent them here to stop us."
Bai Fa sighed softly. "We should have attacked those people earlier, so we wouldn’t have lost that druid and encountered these people."
"Do you think I don’t want to do it?" The golden-haired woman glared at her. "The barrier in the residence was created by the man from another universe, and he was stronger than Huang Lingzhu."
Bai Fa nodded slightly before opening a gate, but it immediately destroyed itself, which shocked her. She looked at one of the men, who was standing at his spot with a faint smile.
The man was none other than Zhe Shouhu. "You don’t have to look at me like that, little girl. Your abilities are similar to mine, but yours are fake ones, and I am the true creator of them. Therefore, it is too easy for me to take away your abilities, and you will never be able to use them again as long as I am here."
"I didn’t believe the information we received at first, but it turned out to be true. You two are not real living beings, especially since you guys don’t have the scent of either one." A well-built, muscular man sitting atop a white lion spoke to the two women.
*Drip... Drip...*
Rainwater suddenly fell from above even though the sky was bright, but it only fell around the two women. However, the rainwater did not wet their bodies, and it continued to penetrate their bodies, which convinced them even more.
"I agree with you, Qin Dongwu." Mu Xianyu then spoke to them. "I don’t know how you were born into this universe or the identity of the person who created you. However, you possess immortal energy within your bodies, so you should be ashamed to attack an old mortal like him."
*Swoosh*
Several red roses suddenly shot towards the two women, but the golden-haired woman casually stretched out her hand and destroyed them instantly, causing all of them to frown. She then looked at the female immortal, who had red hair and was surrounded by several red roses. "Fen Hongyi, right?"
*Snap."
Fen Hongyi was shocked because her red roses withered as soon as the golden-haired woman snapped her fingers, especially since they seemed to have lost their vital energy. ’Is that a destruction ability? How can such an ability exist?’
"You guys are right; we are not real living beings, and we were born for a special reason: the destruction of this universe." Fen Hongyi and the other three frowned at the golden-haired woman. "You are lucky that today is still not the time for us to fight with each other; otherwise, all of you would have died like those roses. I will let the four of you live for now, but you guys will disappear from this universe for good the next time we meet."
"You—" Fen Hongyi stopped talking as the golden walls enveloped the two women. "Lingzhu."
Huang Lingzhu slowly floated down in front of the golden walls, waved her hand, and destroyed the masks of the two women. "I still don’t know who created you, but I’m very familiar with your face."
"Hahaha." The golden-haired woman laughed at that. "Is my face so similar to the deceased Primordial of Destruction, Huang Lingzhu?"
"What?" Zhizun Buxiu, Mu Xianyu, and three others exclaimed in shock after the golden-haired woman said that. "Is she really the Primordial of Destruction, Lingzhu?"
"No." Huang Lingzhu shook her head as she stared at the golden-haired woman. "Shen Huimie died long ago, and I killed her myself. Her face, figure, and abilities are indeed similar to hers, but she is not her. I think your creator was too cowardly, especially since he or she only dared to hide in the shadows."
The golden-haired woman shook her head at her. "Our creator does not need to be present in person to know everything, and she can monitor all of your movements from afar."
"A woman, huh?" The golden-haired woman immediately closed her mouth after realizing her mistake, but she said nothing and waited for Huang Lingzhu to speak. "Your creator is a true immortal, but she is not an ordinary immortal, and she is beyond immortal. In this universe, there are only two women who can surpass immortality, and I am one of them. Therefore, your creator is Yuan Shijia, right?"
"Tch!" The golden-haired woman tried to break Huang Lingzhu’s golden walls, but her abilities were useless. ’Shit!’
Huang Lingzhu just shook her head, stretched her arms forward, and used her time abilities.
"Time Reversal." As soon as Huang Lingzhu said that, the golden walls immediately disappeared, and so did the two women. "I’ll go check on something."
"Wait a minute, you—" Before Zhe Shouhu could stop her, Huang Lingzhu had already disappeared from their sight first. "Have any of you ever heard the name Yuan Shijia before?"
"No." Mu Xianyu shook her head at Zhe Shouhu, as did Qin Dongwu and Fen Hongyi, especially since it was their first time to hear the name. "Since Lingzhu said that Yuan Shijia had surpassed us immortals, I thought she was a primordial like her and Long Hun, and we are not her opponents."
Fen Hongyi nodded. "I agree with you, but I’m also confused about her. If Yuan Shijia really is a primordial being like those two, then why does she want to destroy this universe? Why doesn’t she act herself? If she acts on her own, none of us will be able to fight her, and her plans to kidnap Jia Yuyan and Lu Yi will definitely have succeeded."
"There’s no point in guessing, right?" Qin Dongwu looked in the direction Huang Lingzhu had disappeared. "For now, we just need to wait for Lingzhu to return, and then we’ll ask her the truth."
Zhe Shouhu immediately created a gate and spoke to Zhizun Buxiu. "This gate will take you directly to the Thousand Beast Realm, and those demon race members will arrive there in a week."
"A week?" Zhe Shouhu nodded to Zhizun Buxiu. "Do you know their current location?"
Zhe Shouhu created another gate. "This gate will take you to the location of the devils, but I don’t recommend you meet them directly. You should wait for them in the Thousand Beast Realm, or the devil’s babies will kill you."
"I see." Zhizun Buxiu nodded in understanding and immediately entered the gate, which took him to the Thousand Beast Realm. "Where should we go now?"
Fen Hongyi looked into the distance before answering him. "Even though we already know the identity of the leader of those fake immortals, we haven’t managed to find Jian Xieshen, so we have to continue our search to find him."
"Let’s go then." All of them immediately disappeared from the Peach Garden Valley.

*Tap... Tap...*
Shen Ming walked into the bedroom at the top of the tower to find Ling Yun’s clone accompanying Xue Jing. "Lingzhu just contacted me, and she’s already discovered the identity of their creator."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun’s clone released Xue Jing from his arms and sat on the side of the bed. "What is the identity of their creator?"
"You definitely wouldn’t expect this, especially since the creator of those fake immortals is Yuan Shijia." Ling Yun’s clone was shocked to hear that name from Sheng Ming. "Their leader let it slip that their creator is a woman, and no other woman can surpass us immortals, except for her and Huang Lingzhu. By the way, she is on her way to the Primordial Realm, and your other clones should meet her later."
Ling Yun’s clone nodded to her. "Xiao Yin, how long will it take us to reach the Chaos Dragon Domain?"
{If we depend on the speed of this fortress, we will reach our destination in two months, Master. If you want to go faster, you’ll have to use your real body to pull this fortress, or you can ask Zhou Yu to do it.}
"Then—" Ling Yun’s clone stopped talking as a void opened in front of them, and Zhou Yu flew out, taking Lu Yi and Lu Shen with him.
"Ling Yun!"
