Chapter 454: Chapter 451: The Fall of Huangfu Zhong
"You understand what I mean, don’t you?" the young man asked.
The giant wolf wasn’t stupid. It understood immediately.
’Yes, yes, of course I understand!’
Overjoyed, it nodded its head repeatedly.
Often, you don’t have to kill someone with your own hands.
She was just a little girl at the Void Realm. No matter how talented she was, her Cultivation was what it was. What kind of trouble could she possibly stir up?
A dead genius is no longer a genius.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Bai!" The giant wolf stood upright, brought its two paws together, and bowed to the young man like a human clasping their hands in respect.
"Remember, do not overstep the rules set by the Queen. Otherwise, you’ll have to bear the consequences. Now, get lost!"
After saying this, the young man waved his hand. The giant wolf suddenly felt the ground disappear from beneath it and plummeted from the clouds, struggling to stabilize itself.
It first nodded respectfully toward the clouds before its figure flickered and vanished.
High above the Nine Heavens, the young man looked down, his gaze piercing through layers of space to land on Mo Qi.
’Her Majesty the Queen abandoned her people and charged into the Immortal Realm alone for your sake. If you don’t grow up faster, how can you ever be worthy of her? Romantic entanglements are a great taboo on the path of the Martial Dao. Let me help you prune these useless branches!’
The young man murmured to himself, "Her Majesty the Queen, before you left, you asked me to ensure Mo Qi’s safety in the Mortal District, but you never said I had to guarantee his women’s safety. Besides, Ah Bai is only doing this for your own good. You won’t blame me, will you?"
「At that same moment, on the island.」
Mo Qi suddenly felt the hair on his body stand on end, as if some hidden danger was watching him.
"Pig Emperor, did you feel anything?" Mo Qi focused his senses for a long time but couldn’t find the source of the danger.
The Pig Emperor shook his head. "Whether it was that wolf or the Ah Bai who appeared later, their power is far beyond ours. If they’re targeting us, it would be very difficult to defend ourselves."
Just then, a harsh, mocking laugh rang out.
"Hahaha! A bunch of naive, pitiful fools. You don’t actually think you can contend with my master’s Dharma Body, do you?"
Huangfu Zhong roared with laughter. To him, this was an absolute joke.
Even if a Dharma Body’s power was limited, the gap in Realms couldn’t always be overcome by sheer numbers.
"You old coot, you’re getting full of yourself again. Do you dare look at your Grandmaster Pig?" Without another word, the Pig Emperor wrapped the "Yin Yang Primordial Qi Egg" scroll around his body.
Huangfu Zhong: "..."
The other Immortals: "..."
"You damned pig-head! Just you wait! I’ll slaughter you sooner or later, eat your flesh, and skin you to make shoes!" Huangfu Zhong snarled through clenched teeth, his eyes shut and head lowered.
If you asked who he hated most right now, it wasn’t Mo Qi, but the Pig Emperor.
Hearing about eating his flesh and skinning him for shoes, the Pig Emperor’s face instantly darkened.
"Hey everyone," the Pig Emperor proposed. "This old geezer has clearly betrayed the Hall of Envoys and become a lackey for the Demon Race. Why don’t we take advantage of the fact that the wolf isn’t back yet and finish this bastard off? What do you say?"
The Pig Emperor’s proposal immediately gained a great deal of support.
Huangfu Zhong hadn’t just incurred public outrage; to put it mildly, he had betrayed the Hall of Envoys. To put it more seriously, he had betrayed the entire Human Race!
If they didn’t kill him, it would be an offense against heaven and earth!
"You dare!" Huangfu Zhong roared. "If you touch me, the Lord Wolf Demon won’t let you off!"
"Tch!" The Pig Emperor sneered. "Let’s not even talk about how little you matter to your master. As for the wolf itself, it’s not even certain if it can make it back."
"All together now! Kill this traitor to the Human Race!"
The ancestors of the Feng and Liu Families certainly weren’t going to pass up this opportunity. Huangfu Zhong was their old rival.
Some of the Immortals who had been freed from the curse of pregnancy and had their hidden injuries healed also joined the attack.
Killing a traitor was a great merit that could be reported to the Immortal Realm in the future!
It would be a terrible shame to miss this chance.
"You think you can hurt me?" Huangfu Zhong snorted coldly. Since he dared to mock them in front of so many people, he naturally had the confidence to protect himself.
The Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact reappeared, and Huangfu Zhong stood fearlessly.
Just as he was about to use his old trick and activate the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact, he was horrified to discover that it had malfunctioned!
"Impossible!"
Huangfu Zhong’s face drained of color in shock.
At this moment, the army of Immortals, led by the Feng Family and Liu Family Immortals, had arrived.
To ensure Huangfu Zhong’s death, everyone used their full power.
It was too late for Huangfu Zhong to defend or dodge. Without the protection of the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact, he was completely exposed to everyone’s attacks.
A torrent of violent Energy instantly overwhelmed Huangfu Zhong.
Before his body and soul were torn to shreds, Huangfu Zhong realized something.
The Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact had been bestowed upon him by the Lord Wolf Demon.
The only one who could bypass his authority to directly influence and control the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact was the Wolf Demon itself.
It was self-evident why the Treasure Tower Immortal Artifact had suddenly failed.
Huangfu Zhong just didn’t understand why his master would do this. What good would his death do the demon?
In the final second of his life, Huangfu Zhong’s expression was uglier than if he were crying.
He had toiled for most of his life, risked universal condemnation to side with the Demon Race, exhausted himself for the Demon Race’s grand plan, and even cultivated Huangfu Yu, only to end up like this.
Huangfu Zhong could not accept it.
But what could he do even if he couldn’t?
Once you choose the wrong path in life, there’s no turning back.
CRACK!
The chaotic streams of Energy converged, producing a crisp sound, almost like a clap of hands.
Looking at Huangfu Zhong now, he was like a swatted fly—a mangled mess of flesh and blood. It was as if his bones had been removed, and he hung limply in the void.
His soul was annihilated, his Life Aura completely gone.
If he hadn’t already cultivated an Immortal Body, that last wave of attacks would have been enough to obliterate him without a single trace.
"He’s dead?"
Mo Qi frowned as he looked at Huangfu Zhong’s corpse.
He felt that things weren’t that simple. Huangfu Zhong’s death had been far too clean, without even a hint of resistance.
It was illogical.
Just then, Huangfu Zhong’s corpse suddenly began to change. Like melting wax, the surface of the body collapsed inward, transforming into a stream of red fluid.
"What is this?" Mo Qi’s perception of life far surpassed others. He could feel an incredibly dense Life Aura from the red fluid, mixed with an unsettling fluctuation of Energy.
’Rebirth from the jaws of death? No, that’s not right!’
Mo Qi rejected that guess.
’Huangfu Zhong is definitely dead; my senses wouldn’t be wrong. So where did this Life Force come from? And where is it going?’
’Whatever it is, it can’t be good. I’ll attack it first and ask questions later!’
Without a second thought, Mo Qi pointed at the red fluid and shouted, "Quick, attack it!"
The other Immortals had also noticed that something was off with the fluid. They attacked without hesitation.
However, that familiar white wolf’s claw appeared once again. It scooped up the red fluid in its grasp and, with a gentle flick, deflected all of the attacks.
