As Jiang Li unleashed the Void Great Hand Seal, Li Hongwang felt an overwhelming sense of oppression engulfing him.
It was as if something had completely locked onto him, intent on obliterating him.
This was an ultimate divine ability, and Li Hongwang’s heart sank.
He immediately channeled the Saint Yuan within his body with all his might.
Li Hongwang's entire being was enveloped in an infinite golden radiance.
The golden Saint Yuan acted like an armor, tightly protecting Li Hongwang's body.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Just then, the Void Great Hand Seal had fully condensed, tearing through space.
It slammed into Li Hongwang’s body.
Li Hongwang was struck by the Great Hand Seal that suddenly appeared from the void, and the golden Saint Yuan armor on his body was easily rent asunder.
After tearing through Li Hongwang's armor, the Void Great Hand Seal severely wounded his body.
Golden blood splattered everywhere, and Li Hongwang immediately became listless.
The numerous disciples watching from outside were dumbfounded.
They hadn't expected Jiang Li to be so powerful without even using a supreme spiritual treasure.
The sheer might of his divine ability alone was astonishing.
Upon seeing Li Hongwang's blood, the many Blood Gods within the Blood God Domain began an even more ferocious assault, incessantly tearing at Li Hongwang's body.
"I truly have to admit my age. I never thought I'd fall to a junior!" Li Hongwang said with a smile, completely ignoring the surrounding Blood Gods devouring his flesh and blood.
There was no trace of fear or dread in his eyes, only a calm composure.
Faint, dark clouds loomed in the sky.
The entire sky seemed to be brewing something.
Within the Blood God Domain, Jiang Li’s body was filled with surging vital energy.
Looking at Li Hongwang, who, despite being in what seemed like a desperate situation, showed no fear, Jiang Li couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.
"Next, I have another divine ability. Please, try to withstand it!" Jiang Li took a deep breath and continued.
Li Hongwang nodded, his gaze steady, and said, "Then please proceed!"
"Nether God's Spear!!!"
Jiang Li channeled the power of the [Divine Elephant Suppression Prison Force] within him. Tremendous vital energy and the power of divine elephants flowed through Jiang Li's body.
"Swish swish swish!!!"
Immediately, a blood-red spear appeared around Jiang Li.
The spear emanated a sharp, fierce aura.
Li Hongwang, not far away, became extremely solemn. He clearly felt the terrifying power contained within the spear beside Jiang Li.
It was a divine ability imbued with unparalleled divine elephant power, containing horrifying destructive force.
"Boom!!!"
Then, the Nether God's Spear pierced through everything and shot towards Li Hongwang.
Li Hongwang channeled the last of his strength, attempting to resist this powerful divine ability.
Fierce explosions erupted within the Blood God Domain.
Blood and shredded flesh flew everywhere.
The surrounding clouds seemed to be blown apart by this power, stirring up turbulent mist.
"Whether you live or die now depends on you!" Jiang Li thought.
Given his bearing, Jiang Li didn't mind leaving him a sliver of hope.
He had killed Li Wuxue, and it was right. If Li Hongwang came for revenge, that was also understandable...
Following that, Jiang Li boarded a flying boat and left the battlefield, speeding towards the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
He left behind only the surging clouds and the scent of blood above the plain.
...
Eastern Wasteland.
Yellow Springs Demonic Sect.
Spiritual Yuan Peak.
Within the palace of Spiritual Yuan Peak, Li Yuanxiao and Shen Qingshan were seated on the main hall.
Most of the black-clad figures below the hall had already left and were waiting outside.
Only Li Jinghui remained by the side of the hall, waiting quietly.
"Elder Shen, you should understand our position. Although you are an outer sect elder of the Primeval Demonic Sect, if we were to truly harden our hearts and do something unpleasant, I believe everyone would be unhappy..." Li Jinghui took a deep breath and continued.
If this matter wasn't so critically important, he wouldn't have to tread so carefully.
If something were truly done here, not to mention the wrath of the Primeval Demonic Sect.
It would be impossible to thoroughly investigate that other matter.
And then, they would all face a dead end.
"Are you threatening me?" Shen Qingshan smiled and asked.
Li Jinghui did not deny it. "I am not, I am merely stating some facts to Elder Shen. Wang Zhongyang's death must be accounted for, and this accounting is not for me. Do you understand what I mean?"
"Accounted for? You want an accounting from me? I killed that old dog. Do you have a problem with that?" Shen Qingshan's gaze turned icy.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense within a few exchanges.
A faint aura began to circulate around Shen Qingshan, and the air flickered with violent energies.
"If Elder Shen killed him, then of course there's no problem. However, according to our investigation, it was someone from the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect who killed Wang Zhongyang that day. The people of the Yellow Springs Demonic Sect are still somewhat different from your Primeval Demonic Sect, aren't they..." Li Jinghui's gaze also turned cold.
As soon as Li Jinghui spoke, Shen Qingshan and Li Yuanxiao both felt a sense of foreboding.
The matter of killing Wang Zhongyang could be big or small. If no one pursued it, it would be insignificant.
However, once it escalated to a certain level...
"Although I also found some of Wang Zhongyang's actions disgraceful, he was, after all, our fellow disciple..." Li Jinghui continued, as if he were genuinely close to Wang Zhongyang.
Shen Qingshan and Li Yuanxiao's expressions grew increasingly grim.
"Then what do you want?" Shen Qingshan asked.
He knew, of course, that Li Jinghui’s words were merely a pretext.
But if they set their sights on Jiang Li, who had killed Wang Zhongyang...
"What I mean is, we can make a deal..." Li Jinghui smiled, finally revealing his ultimate objective.
A deal... Shen Qingshan's gaze turned cold. Did this fellow think he could control him with this?
He was underestimating him.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
Just then, a violent roar suddenly erupted from outside the hall.
The entire Spiritual Yuan Peak began to shake, and the air was filled with violent energy.
What was happening... Li Yuanxiao and Shen Qingshan exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
Li Yuanxiao had already evacuated all the disciples of Spiritual Yuan Peak.
Outside, there were only these outer members of the Reincarnation Divine Palace.
"Audacious! We are the Reincarnation Di..."
"Stop! No, don't!"
"No..."
Immediately after, another wave of heart-wrenching screams echoed.
