After the defeat of the Huang Tian Daoist, the defenses of the Huang Tian Sect were at their weakest point, making it the perfect time to strike at the fallen enemy.
If this opportunity was missed, it would be difficult to clarify their stance later on, and they might risk being held accountable by Ji Zikong, which would not be worth it.
Therefore, these families did not hesitate to take a side, directly joining in, seizing this chance to make amends and survive as a mere lapdog.
Just moments ago, the Huang Tian Sect seemed to have the upper hand, but with the families joining in, they were quickly defeated like a collapsing mountain.
Seeing this, Shen Qing also did not delay, urging his entire spiritual power, performing the Great Void Movement Technique to delve into the Capital City in search of Huang Furo’s whereabouts.
He stepped across in one stride, transforming into a shadow, traversing several kilometers swiftly, making it hard to catch.
A Huang Tian Sect believer blocked his path, and he simply slapped, turning the obstructing person into a bloody pulp.
Even with a talisman in hand, it was to no avail.
Boom!
Shen Qing heard continuous rumbling from the skies afar, as one Flying Boat after another turned into fireballs, being blasted apart by Ji Zikong on the spot.
The scene nearly turned into a one-sided massacre.
Just as Ji Zikong was about to catch up with the Huang Tian Daoist, two ancient corpse puppets dormant in the city were awakened. They soared into the sky, tightly embracing Ji Zikong.
In the latter’s surprised eyes, they suddenly transformed into a large yellow sphere, tightly enveloping Ji Zikong as if it were a sun forged in flames.
The yellow sphere emitted ominous light, with every strand containing terrifying power capable of shaking mountains and rivers.
With a deafening explosion, the large yellow sphere’s radiance burst forth, unleashing earth-shattering energy, tearing the surrounding void into pieces.
"Ah..."
In this destructive explosion, even Ji Zikong’s immensely powerful body was inevitably left with several ghastly wounds, bleeding profusely, revealing deep bones.
When the smoke cleared, Ji Zikong’s figure appeared.
A cold light flashed in his eyes as he surveyed the surroundings.
However, the figure of the Huang Tian Daoist was nowhere to be seen.
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Ji Zikong unexpectedly saw Shen Qing’s figure and made a light sound of surprise.
He noticed that Shen Qing’s Martial Arts were exceptionally unique, surprisingly hinting of the Great Void Dao.
"This boy indeed has something peculiar about him."
"If I’m not mistaken, he reached the Primordial Spirit realm in just a few short years, which is simply unbelievable."
"Thanks to this opportunity with the Huang Tian Sect, I’ve gathered many of the Ji Family’s secrets that maintain the court, which I no longer need. Just as well, I can take a good look at what great secrets my Marquis Wu’an is hiding."
With that thought, Ji Zikong pointed towards Shen Qing’s location midair.
While still crossing the void, Shen Qing suddenly felt all his hairs stand on end, a strong sense of danger enveloping his heart.
He instinctively rolled to the side.
Swoosh!
A Sword Qi nearly brushed past his cheek, flying by, penetrating the ground.
Shen Qing’s heart pounded wildly.
If he had been even a little slower just now, he would have been split in two by that Sword Qi.
Looking up, Shen Qing saw Ji Zikong watching him from above, a trace of surprise flashing across his face.
Calm and steady, he asked, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?"
Ji Zikong stepped forward, each step causing invisible stairs to condense out of thin air beneath his feet.
As he walked towards Shen Qing, Ji Zikong said, "Marquis Wu’an, tell me. The Saint Body Great Completion Method from the royal armory, have you not cultivated this celestial Martial technique from start to finish?"
Shen Qing remained silent, his hand subconsciously gripping the hilt of his sword.
Ji Zikong sighed deeply, saying, "My seventh prince, upon hearing that you cultivated the Great Completion Saint Body Method without harm, studied this celestial Martial technique as well, but he unexpectedly went berserk and died."
"Because of you, I’ve lost a son," Ji Zikong said, counting on his fingers, "this is the first, the second, the third..."
As he counted, he grew a bit impatient, "Forget it, anyway he’s dead, but he can’t die in vain. What do you think I should do?"
At this point, Shen Qing finally realized that the monarch of the Great Zhou had turned the table and set his sights on him.
"I think, Your Majesty, with your vigorous health, you could easily father another prince." Shen Qing involuntarily took two steps back.
Ji Zikong shook his head, saying, "No need to trouble yourself, I have a way to exempt him from punishment."
"What?"
"Surrender your Primordial Spirit to me, and this matter will be written off."
Primordial Spirit?!
Shen Qing’s expression instantly darkened.
The Primordial Spirit is profound and can be refined by others.
Once his Primordial Spirit fell into Ji Zikong’s hands, it would be akin to being at his mercy. Ji Zikong sought to uncover all the secrets of his cultivation.
"I’m afraid I cannot comply with Your Majesty’s request!"
"Sigh, then I’ll have to do it myself!"
Upon saying that, without moving his body, Ji Zikong raised a single finger.
Instantly, a long sword imbued with a cold halo shot through the air, bearing immense majesty as it aimed directly at Shen Qing.
Shen Qing’s expression hardened, a resolute gleam flashing in his eyes, as he pushed the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique to its utmost, causing the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to completely boil, madly pouring into his body, coalescing into immense power.
He abruptly drew the "Thunder Abyss" treasure blade, infusing it with all his spiritual power.
The blade emitted intense lightning, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long lightning edge, slashing at Ji Zikong’s long sword.
Heaven’s Wrath Void Slash!
In this moment of life and death, Shen Qing disregarded everything, directly unleashing the Martial technique he had learned from Xue Zhao.
The blade and sword energies intersected in the air, bursting with a heart-wrenching energy fluctuation, resembling a falling star, overturning mountains and rivers.
"Treasure!"
Staring at the scene before him, Ji Zikong was momentarily stunned.
He knew Shen Qing had many secrets; he didn’t expect to be surprised just at the first engagement.
Seeing the familiar technique in the void, a playful smile emerged on his face.
"Interesting, my Marquis Wu’an is becoming more interesting. Hahaha..."
Ji Zikong laughed aloud in the void, his finger continued to point forward, increasing the force.
The unmatched Heaven’s Wrath Void Slash, augmented by the Thunder Abyss treasure blade, was tremendously powerful.
Yet when facing Ji Zikong’s cold light Flying Sword, it seemed lacking.
At the moment of clash, the edge of Heaven’s Wrath Void Slash seemed to melt like ice under a scorching sun, swiftly dissipating, completely defeated in the blink of an eye.
Ji Zikong’s spiritual power surged around him; he casually pointed forward, the white Sword Intent transformed into a crescent, sweeping past Shen Qing’s body.
Shen Qing had no time to react, only sensing a sudden blur; the Sword Qi severed his body at the waist.
Golden and crimson blood splattered out.
Shen Qing’s eyes widened, filled with disbelief.
He sensed the life force within rapidly draining away, his Primordial Spirit trembling, seemingly compelled to burst out as if sensing the danger within his mortal shell, instinctively fleeing.
Stay calm!
At this moment, one must stay calm!
Shen Qing did not give in, refusing to accept fate.
He clenched his teeth and decisively retrieved a jade tablet, fully releasing the spiritual essence hidden within.
Moreover, countless elixirs and pills were taken out, consumed in one go.

Around Shen Qing, crystalline and splendid vortices quietly emerged, like black holes in the deep cosmos, devouring all surrounding spiritual energy.
In this life-and-death moment, he suddenly had a special insight into the Path of Hell.
Rebirth through transformation, break before establishment!
Serenely, Shen Qing seemed to cross a threshold, feeling a roaring in his ears as the Six Paths of Reincarnation technique was pushed to the limit.
The golden blood strewn across the void suddenly linked into a sparkling chain of light, miraculously connecting Shen Qing’s severed upper and lower body.
Amid the rumbling, his body, like shattered porcelain, began to be reassembled, astonishingly starting to repair and heal.
In mid-air, seeing this scene, Ji Zikong’s eyes suddenly changed.
