I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"Senior Brother Li, are you still you?"

Shen Ming examined Li Yingyi's condition, which was not optimistic. The demonic transformation had overdrawn his life force, and although his body had returned to its original state, his skin was still bleeding continuously.

Two bloody holes appeared on the forehead of the horned creature, clearly revealing its skull.

Shen Ming didn't know where Li Yingyi's inexplicable hostility came from, but he couldn't rule out the possibility that he was bewitched by evil spirits.

If possible, Shen Ming was thinking of taking it back and handing it over to the sect or the Jiang family for disposal.

Judging from the conversation just now, Li Yingyi seems to have some connection with the Jiang family.

"you……"

Li Ying opened his eyes and saw the innocent face of the Jiang family's heir, and suddenly wanted to burst out laughing.

He felt that his life was a joke and all his resistance was in vain.

If that's the case, why was I brought into this world?

Li Yingyi thought about how he had been all alone from beginning to end, without any support or warmth.

Suddenly, Li Yingyi saw Li Xiaoluo slowly walking over.

At that moment, he thought of Li Xiaoluo's complete obedience, her unconditional protection of him.

It turns out that what I wanted had always been right beside me!

Li Yingyi resigned himself to his fate.

Even if they become the shadow of the Jiang family, they can still be guaranteed a life of luxury and will no longer have to suffer like when they were orphans.

With a lovely and obedient junior sister by his side, he is already happier than many others.

At that moment, for the first time in his life, Li Ying felt a sense of gratitude.

"Junior sister..."

He opened his mouth, wanting to beg for Li Xiaoluo's forgiveness.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiaolu pounced on him like a mad dog, her face completely devoid of its usual gentleness and affection, instead contorted into a ferocious and terrifying expression, her eyes burning with hatred.

"You lied to me! How dare you lie to me!"

Li Xiaoluo gripped the sharp blade with both hands in reverse and frantically stabbed it repeatedly through Li Yingyi's chest.

Li Yingyi was shocked, but he also realized that his junior sister did not love him. She only loved the illusion and the feeling she imagined.

After everything is destroyed, there is only endless hatred.

At the end of his life, Li Yingyi wore a self-deprecating smile.

Shen Ming shook his head. He could have stopped Li Xiaoluo, but he didn't.

He didn't intervene because he didn't understand Li Yingyi's situation.

Li Xiaoluo was betrayed and struck by Jue Wuchen's Ice and Fire Poison Palm, all under the instructions of Li Yingyi.

Li Xiaoluo has the right to seek revenge.

Li Xiaoluo didn't know how many times she had stabbed him; her own hands were covered in blood, while Li Yingyi's body had turned into a pile of mud.

Indeed, a woman's vengeful nature should not be underestimated.

This scene solidified Shen Ming's idea.

At this moment, Li Xiaolu searched Li Yingyi's body and found the dragon ball and the scriptures.

Without saying a word, she walked up to Shen Ming and handed him the things.

"You can keep it."

Shen Ming didn't know what it was, and since Li Xiaoluo's hands were covered in blood, he didn't really want it.

However, under the continuous stimulation, Li Xiaoluo seemed to have become a different person, exhibiting a detached state.

He stood there stubbornly, with his hands raised.

"Ok."

Shen Ming reluctantly accepted the beads and scriptures, and asked what they were.

Li Xiaolu shook her head blankly. She didn't know what it was, only that it was a treasure that Li Yingyi and Jue Wuchen had stolen by killing everyone else.

She gave it to Shen Ming as an apology for offending the Xuan Emperor earlier because of Li Yingyi.

Jue Wuchen and the other demonic cultivators died at the hands of Li Yingyi, who had just become demonic. No one told Shen Ming what this was.

Shen Ming didn't care much. He walked to Zhou Lingyun's body and sighed.

He quite liked this senior, who, despite being a Supreme Realm expert, had no airs and was very kind.

It's a pity; if he hadn't been the first target, he might have survived.

"Xuan, Xuan Tianzi, what do we do now?"

There were still a few sect disciples remaining in the treasure room.

They witnessed a grand spectacle, completely baffled, unable to comprehend what was going on with Li Yingyi, or how the demonization was accomplished.

What I saw was a ground littered with bones, and Li Xiaoluo had gone mad and was stabbing people.

"A forbidden zone for life, it's terrifying!"

In the end, they all considered this to be the indescribable horror of Zang Tianhai.

"wait."

Shen Mingzhen didn't know what to do. In this situation, all he could do was wait for someone to come and rescue him.

However, the Taiyi Treasure Vault is the size of a city. It has fallen to the bottom of the Burial Sea. Even if the sect leader came, he might not be able to rescue the people.

This is a disaster, beyond the limits of human capability.

……

In the Northern Region, there is a territory that does not belong to the Thirteen Provinces, nor to any particular power.

Kowloon City!

Known as the oldest city in history, it has stood in the world since ancient times and is also the place where the annual Qianlong List is held.

The city walls soared into the clouds, as if they were about to reach the sky.

Huge black stones are tightly stacked, each one bearing witness to the weight of time and history.

The city wall is devoid of any decoration, yet its sheer height and grandeur are awe-inspiring.

Outside the city, nine undulating mountain ranges resemble nine giant dragons winding and coiling, majestic and magnificent with towering peaks shrouded in clouds and mist.

The mountain range's outline resembles the shape of a giant dragon, its head held high and its eyes majestic.

Against the backdrop of the Nine Dragon Mountains, it appears even more majestic and solemn, as if it were an eternal presence between heaven and earth.

Suddenly, a deafening roar resounded, and the dragon shape in the mountain range gradually solidified.

It was as if a giant dragon had truly awakened.

With a resounding dragon roar, the nine-headed dragon soared into the sky, its massive body instantly breaking through layers of clouds.

The weather is changing rapidly, and the wind is howling.

In Kowloon City, people looked up at the giant dragon soaring in the sky, their eyes filled with shock and fear. Some people's legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, muttering to themselves, whether in prayer or amazement, it was unclear.

Nine dragons flew over the northern region, causing countless disturbances.

Traveling thousands of miles a day, they arrived at the sea in less than a few minutes, heading straight for the Burial Sky Sea.

As it approached the outer edge of the Burial Sea, the nine-headed dragon stopped, its powerful and violent energy surging around it.

Amidst the flashes of light, enormous runes slowly coalesced and took shape in the sky.

The runes then transformed into thick chains that snaked out like serpents.

The chains emanated a cold, eerie light, as if they were crafted from a mysterious metal.

They danced in the air, making a series of clanging sounds.

Then, these chains stretched rapidly down into the sea with lightning speed, instantly disappearing into the unfathomable depths of the ocean.

The impact of the chains churned up huge waves on the sea, creating a turbulent scene.

The chains relentlessly probed the seabed, stirring the deep, dark waters.

Suddenly, the chains seemed to touch something enormous, paused slightly, and then tightly wrapped around it.

The nine dragons felt the pulling force and roared in unison, exerting their strength together.

The chains were taut under the dragon's power, slowly dragging the behemoth upward from the seabed.

As time went by, the giant object on the seabed gradually approached the surface.

The sea began to churn violently, and a huge whirlpool spun continuously.

Finally, the top of the giant object broke through the sea surface.

A huge column of water shot into the sky, shimmering brilliantly in the sunlight.

The colossal object slowly revealed its true form; it was none other than the Taiyi Treasure Vault!

Dark clouds loomed overhead over the Burial Sea, and countless bolts of lightning were brewing.

The nine-headed dragon dared not slacken its efforts and carried the Taiyi Treasure Vault back the way it came.
