Chaos Spirit Field

Inside the Zhao Imperial Palace, Zhao Yunlong sat on the dragon throne, holding in his hands casualty reports from the major Zhao cities. His face was gloomy, veins bulging on his forehead, and his eyes flashed with raging anger. He gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "Heaven and earth are unkind, treating all things as straw dogs. Sages are unkind, treating the people as straw dogs. Those idiots actually used this method to restrict me. How wonderful!"

At this moment, a voice rang out from outside the hall, tinged with a hint of joking: "Pangu created the heavens and the earth, while Hongjun Daozu united himself with the Dao. They appear selfless, but in reality, they are selfish. No matter which of you controls this world, it is not the outcome those saints want to see."

Hearing this voice, Zhao Yunlong's face changed. He stood up suddenly, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and he said coldly: "Master Minghe, you are so brave. You dare to come back? Aren't you afraid that your soul will be scattered?"

Before he finished speaking, a drop of bright red blood suddenly appeared in mid-air, emitting a strong, nauseating stench. Over time, the drop gradually expanded, eventually transforming into a middle-aged man in a red robe. His face was grim, his eyes sharp as a knife, and he exuded a powerful aura. He was the leader of the Styx, who had nearly been killed by the saint.

The Styx leader looked at Zhao Yunlong, his lips curled up slightly in a scornful smile, and said lightly: "As long as the Blood River does not dry up, the Styx will not die. The Taoist Jie Yin is now confined to Xiniu Hezhou and cannot escape. You alone cannot stop me."

Zhao Yunlong knew what the Styx leader said, but he didn't make a move. Instead, he said calmly, "Styx leader, what's the purpose of Wu going to so much trouble to create conditions for you?"

The Styx leader smiled and said, "My master wants to meet your sister Zhao Yunduo. If you can help to make the connection, he can help you control this world."

Zhao Yunlong pondered for a moment, then said coldly, "The offer is indeed tempting, but unfortunately, I am Zhao Yunlong. Wu has miscalculated. Why don't you go find Zhao Yunfei? Perhaps he can help you."

Hearing this, the Styx leader's face twitched involuntarily. In fact, he had just come from the Witch God Temple and was nearly beaten to death by Zhao Yunfei. The violent maniac didn't even give him a chance to speak.

The Styx leader remained undeterred. He continued to seduce him, "Hongjun, the opportunity you carefully planned has been snatched away by Zhao Shanhe, and the world you have protected for so many years is about to be taken away by someone else. Are you willing to accept defeat like this? My master has long admired Miss Zhao Yunduo and holds no ill will towards her. Your chances of controlling this world are slim. If you cooperate with my master, you will surely have the last laugh."

Zhao Yunlong couldn't help but sneer inwardly. He scoffed at the Styx Cult Leader's instigation. If Zhao Shanhe were truly dead, he might have agreed without hesitation. However, now that it was confirmed that his father was still alive, how could he possibly betray his sister? Wouldn't that make him a complete fool? He feigned an interested expression, frowned, and said, "Styx Cult Leader, can you guarantee the safety of my sister, Zhao Yunduo?"

The leader of the Styx said in a positive tone, "A gentleman loves a beautiful lady. My master is deeply in love with Miss Zhao Yunduo. How could he hurt her?"

Zhao Yunlong jokingly said, "If Wu is truly sincere, he should come to the Three Realms himself. Also, my name is Zhao Yunlong now, not Hongjun. Remember this. Third brother, thank you for your help."

As soon as he finished speaking, a bald man appeared in the Zhao Kingdom Palace. The leader of the Styx said in horror: "Hongjun, you actually teamed up with Pangu."

Zhao Yunlong's lips curled up into a smile, and he said softly, "Hongjun and Pangu naturally won't join forces, but Zhao Yunlong and Zhao Yunfei are brothers from the same father. It's easy for the elder brother to ask the younger brother for help, isn't it? Third brother, I'll trouble you to take care of this thing. Don't let him get away."

Just as Zhao Yunlong finished speaking, the Styx leader instantly exploded, transforming into a cloud of blood mist that drifted between heaven and earth. Zhao Yunfei frowned slightly at this and complained in dissatisfaction, "This guy is so slippery! He got away again."

Zhao Yunlong smiled nonchalantly and consoled her, "You can escape for a while, but not forever. The leader of the Styx dared to harbor evil intentions towards our fourth sister. Our father will teach him a lesson. Let's observe three minutes of silence for him."

Zhao Yunfei suddenly thought of something, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "Zhao Yunlong, is father really always with Fourth Sister?"

Zhao Yunlong nodded without hesitation, expressing his certainty: "Third brother, I am sure that father has not left the Three Realms. No matter where he is, Fourth Sister will not be in danger."

Zhao Yunfei frowned, lost in thought, muttering to himself, "In that case, there's no need to worry about Fourth Sister's safety. But what is Wu's motive for going to such great lengths? Could it be as the Styx Cult Leader said? When it comes to conspiracies and subterfuge, you're the most proficient, so you should be able to guess Wu's intentions."

Zhao Yunlong frowned and said, "Third brother, I'm not a worm in Wu's stomach, so how can I know his intentions? Maybe it's really like what the Styx leader said. Thank you so much this time."

Zhao Yunfei said, "A verbal thank you doesn't count. You owe me a favor. Now that the matter is settled, I'm leaving. I advise you not to set your sights on Fourth Sister."

As Zhao Yunfei's departing figure gradually faded from sight, Zhao Yunlong slowly withdrew his gaze, lost in deep thought. He pondered the true purpose of "Wu". Could it be that, as the Styx leader had said, "Wu" wanted to pursue his fourth sister, Zhao Yunduo? How could he have such a thought? It was truly ridiculous.

Zhao Yunlong couldn't help but laugh at himself, "Perhaps the strength Zhao Yunfei displayed was too great, which is why I lost my composure. They are both Zhao Shanhe's children, so why is there such a huge difference in their talents?"

The four Zhao siblings are all gifted, though there are significant differences between them. The most gifted is undoubtedly the youngest, Zhao Yunduo, possessing a congenital Dao body of spatial attributes. Born with innate spatial abilities, she has also comprehended the Law of Space, one of the Supreme Laws. Her future is immeasurable. Next in line is Zhao Yunfei, whose mastery of the Law of Force is unparalleled, and whose combat prowess is the strongest of the group, rivaling even a Saint. Zhao Yunlong and Zhao Yunxiao, on the other hand, are relatively weaker. This is likely due to Zhao Shanhe's involvement. Perhaps due to his previous death, the body nurtured by the Chaos Spirit Field appears to be superior, with relatively stronger genes.
