Chapter 461: 461

Hearing Lu Jingfeng’s words, a murderous intent flashed in Devil Emperor Dugu’s eyes .

Their eyes met, and they could see through each other’s thoughts .

”If you were to obstruct me, I will dissipate your soul,” Lu Jingfeng said indifferently . He raised his hand slowly, and a beam of the light shot came from his palm, condensing into a lightsaber .

He walked toward the peak with eyes fixed on Devil Emperor Dugu .

He found Devil Emperor Dugu when he landed in the Northern Wilderness Region and was surprised that Dugu was still alive . Thus, he did not begin the massacre immediately and first met Dugu .

The Northern Wilderness Region had given birth to too many powerful cultivators . It also hid many secrets .

Under the oppression of so many factions previously, it was not pure coincidence that the Northern Wilderness Region had still survived .

”Does the Xuan Court have a grudge against the Northern Wilderness Region? Why should you become a tool for them to use,” Devil Emperor Dugu said casually without losing his composure .

Strands of demonic aura streamed out from his body and formed a demonic cloud that stopped the snow from falling .

Lu Jingfeng stared at him and said, “It’s not a grudge . I just don’t like the Demonic Emperor . Let me give you a chance . Submit to me and I will let you live . ”

Devil Emperor Dugu had extraordinary talents and even shocked the entire Center God Province before .

The Xuan Court had wanted to loop him in back then but had no opportunity . Now that the Xuan Court was kicked out of the Center God Province by the Heavenly Saint, Lu Jingfeng began wondering . By chance, he had found the Northern Wilderness Region .

He quickly decided to kill all the Northern Wilderness humans .

He shall then support a new race to take control over the Northern Wilderness Region for his future .

”You are so confident that you can kill me? Even Han Xuzi cannot kill me . Who do you think you are?” Devil Emperor Dugu said coldly . Just when he finished speaking, he leaped down and charged at Lu Jingfeng .

…

Zhou Xuanji came to the netherworld and found himself not in the territory of Magistrate Cui .

He frowned .

He could not descend into the mortal realm as his cultivation would be restricted by the Heavenly Law . The Divine Cliff had no one to help him resist the power of the Heavenly Law either .

He could only dive into the netherworld straightaway and enter the Northern Wilderness Region through there . Along the way, he could not pass through other mortal realms .

Without much hesitation, he began moving .

Much of the netherworld looked alike . Everywhere was ghastly and he could see no sunlight .

A short while later, he saw a ghost soldier .

The Truth Sword was useful against the ghosts as well . With it, he got to know how far he was from Magistrate Cui’s territory .

He heaved a sigh of relief after knowing the answer .

The territory he was in belonged to Magistrate Zhao, who was a neighbor to Magistrate Cui . The two were well-related, or at least they had no grudge .

He did not go to find Magistrate Zhao immediately but asked the ghost soldier to lead the way . He wanted to head over to Magistrate Cui’s territory straightaway .

The ghost soldier had no choice but to bring him to the edge of the Yellow Spring .

”Head toward this direction, and you will reach Magistrate Cui’s territory . ”

The Truth Sword had been in its body, so it could only speak the truth .

”How do I travel on the river?”

Zhou Xuanji asked, “Do I just fly across?”

There were too many legends about the Yellow Spring, so he had to be careful .

The ghost said with a trembling voice, “Either you take the nether boat, or you can fly over . But if you fall into the river by accident, then your spirit will surely be destroyed . ”

Zhou Xuanji frowned and asked, “Are there any restrictive mechanisms on the Yellow Spring? How far?”

The ghost replied, “There are no restrictive mechanisms, but it’s very far . I don’t know the exact distance, but it’s within the Impermanence’s reach . ”

Having heard that, Zhou Xuanji left the ghost and flew toward the Yellow Spring .

He did not have the time to find a nether boat .

The nether boat was not faster than his flight anyway .

Even though he used the Truth Sword, he still felt uneasy .

But once he thought about his wife and daughter, he became more courageous and had no fear .

He traveled full speed ahead .

After six hours, he reached the other shore and made his way straight to Magistrate Cui .

At the same time .

In the Magistrate Palace, Magistrate Cui had driven out everyone and was by himself .

With a deep frown, he was in deep thought .

He sighed faintly, “Zhou Xuanji, Zhou Xuanji, I still underestimated you . There are too many people fighting to get you . How long can I protect you?”

Zhou Xuanji’s potential made him worth protecting, but other more powerful beings wanted to snatch Zhou Xuanji away . This made him very passive .

After a long while .

Zhou Xuanji dashed into the Magistrate Palace urgently .

”Magistrate Cui, the Northern Wilderness Region is in danger . Send me back immediately!” he urged .

Magistrate Cui was not surprised but looked at him calmly .

”The Northern Wilderness Region was found by Lu Jingfeng from the Xuan Court . Putting aside the Xuan Court, factions that are even more powerful will find the Northern Wilderness Region . How long can you protect them?” Magistrate Cui asked with a serious tone, and his eyes were locked onto Zhou XUanji’s .

Zhou Xuanji’s heart sank .

”Someone threatened you?” He asked .

The Xuan Court?

How was it related to Xuan Daoya?

Xuan Daoya had been to the Northern Wilderness Region before . It was not difficult for him to find it again .

To prevent the Demonic Emperor from becoming more powerful, he had the motive to massacre the Northern Wilderness humans .

Magistrate Cui sighed, “Zhou Xuanji, I took an interest in your potential and have been under unimaginable pressure for you . Don’t disappoint me . ”

After he spoke, he got up and prepared himself to send Zhou Xuanji back to the Northern Wilderness Region .

Zhou Xuanji was silent . He looked at Magistrate Cui with a complex expression .

Magistrate Cui’s support could be considered life-saving . He had never required Zhou Xuanji to pay the favor back but only hoped that Zhou Xuanji would raise his position when he had grown more powerful .

He seemed to have an ulterior motive, but how could such a motive be compared to the cost he had paid for Zhou Xuanji?

”I will not make further promises, but you are already more than a friend in my heart,” Zhou Xuanji said softly . Having heard that, Magistrate Cui smiled .

The two walked out of the Magistrate Palace .

They were silent along the way .

They came to a cliff .

Zhou Xuanji smiled and said, “This is the second time that you are sending me off . ”

Magistrate Cui shook his head with a smile and said, “Since things turned out like this, I will not advise you further . Follow your heart, and I hope you will always be determined like you are right now . I also hope that I will continue to send you off the third time, fourth time, or more . ”

Magistrate Cui waved his hand . Before he could reply to him, Zhou Xuanji was swept away by a powerful force and disappeared into the billowing mist .

Everything turned dark before his eyes, and he could only feel that everything around him was revolving .

He did not faint since he was not the same as before .

Northern Wilderness Region!

I’m back!

…

At Skyfall .

Jiang Xue sat under a giant tree and was weaving a shirt . Under the starry night sky, she was so beautiful .

Zhou Xiaoxuan squatted down beside her and said with her curled lip, “Mum, you are weaving again . These shirts are not very useful for dad . Why do you have to weave one for him every year . ”

Jiang Xue smiled in reply and said, “I want him to remember his age . ”

She had watched Zhou Xuanji grow up since he was two years old . She wove clothes for Zhou Xuanji every year, and this was a habit that she wanted to maintain .

Zhou Xiaoxuan pouted . She could only sigh whenever she remembered her father .

She always went out on adventures in the world . Those genius and famous people were even older than her father . While they were still fighting in the Northern Wilderness Region, her father had already ascended .

While she was proud, it was a form of pressure as well .

She did not want to embarrass Zhou Xuanji .

”Who said they are not useful . I only like the clothes your mother wove for me . ”

Zhou Xuanji’s voice came suddenly . Jiang Xue and Zhou Xiaoxuan opened their eyes in disbelief .
