“Enough, stop being angry here. I told you long ago that this guy has ulterior motives, deliberately leading us to this forbidden place. He has likely harbored such thoughts for a long time.”
Ling Lvling scoffed, “You all are bewitched, blinded by a common woman from the lower realms.”
“Ling Lvling, how can you speak like that? We kept that person because she could lead us here to this forbidden place. Just wait and see how I find that commoner.”
Xiu Chengze shouted angrily, ready to search everywhere.
“Enough.”
Ling Lvling coldly reprimanded, “Just an ant, not worth us making a fuss over. So what if she breaks through to the Holy Realm? An ant is still an ant, it will never be able to turn the heavens. Our priority is to investigate this place, find the source of time, and complete the Lord's task.”
“As for that Shangguan Xier…” Ling Lvling's eyes sparkled with cold light, she said coldly, “From what I understand of her, she won't just disappear like this. She must still be thinking of plotting against us. Just you wait, she will definitely come looking for us eventually.”
“She dares to come?”
Xiu Chengze and the others' eyes shot out killing intent.
“Haha, an ant gains a bit of power and always thinks it can shake the heavens, but unfortunately, an ant is still an ant, it will never know the vastness of the heavens.”
Ling Lvling snorted coldly, not even glancing at Luo Siyuan's corpse, turning to leave.
“Where are you going?”
Xiu Chengze hurriedly asked.
“Of course, to find the source of time.”
“But what about Luo Siyuan's corpse? Do you want to leave it exposed here?”
“What do you want? To find a coffin to collect it? A dignified expert from the Heavenly Realm died at the hands of a lower realm ant, dead is dead.”
Ling Lvling did not look back and left this place.
“You…” Xiu Chengze and the others were furious, bang, they blasted a hole in the ground and buried Luo Siyuan's corpse, then immediately followed Ling Lvling.
Ling Lvling was right, the priority was to complete the task of the Holy Lord, everything else was not important.
At that moment, in a hidden corner of the canyon, Shangguan Xier looked excitedly at Luo Siyuan's storage ring, beside her were a large number of holy crystals.
“Holy crystals, there are actually so many holy crystals.”
Shangguan Xier trembled with excitement. With so many holy crystals, her cultivation would definitely solidify at the fastest speed, and all the true essence in her body could be transformed into holy essence. When facing Ling Lvling and the others, it would be much easier.
“These people from the Heavenly Realm are truly my lucky star.”
Shangguan Xier immediately sat cross-legged, quickly arranging these holy crystals using formation techniques. Suddenly, buzzing, invisible power from the holy crystals was absorbed into her body, her aura rising at an astonishing speed.
Whoosh! Streams of demonic light swirled around her body, forming two completely opposite colors with the holy essence, merging with each other.
She practiced very cautiously, trying not to emit any aura to avoid attracting the attention of savage beasts in this canyon and Ling Lvling and the others.
But still, a trace of demonic energy leaked out.
“Hm?”
Not far away, a black figure quietly entered the canyon, sensing the slight demonic energy.
“Why is there demonic energy from the Demon Tribe here?”
Chen Sisi, having experienced the inheritance of the Abyss Demon Lord, had reached an unprecedented understanding of the demonic path. If Shangguan Xier only possessed holy essence, she naturally would not sense it, but the holy essence emitted by Shangguan Xier also contained the magic essence of the Demon Tribe, which Chen Sisi easily captured.
Whoosh! Chen Sisi's figure flickered and stealthily moved towards the source of the demonic energy.
“This is…” Moments later, Chen Sisi arrived at the place where Shangguan Xier was in seclusion, seeing Shangguan Xier in the midst of her cultivation.
