After being reborn, the villain comes with a spoiler tag.

Only after the two completely disappeared did that mysterious force that had annihilated everything descend upon this place, and Huangxiao regained his mobility at that moment.

However, their target had vanished without a trace, and the mysterious power had dissipated as well, leaving Huangxiao with only traces of battle everywhere.

Huang Xiao's anger had reached its peak. He hated Huo Yu, he hated Long Yucheng, and he hated the instigator of all this even more—Zi Xiao!

He never expected that Zixiao would leave her natal spirit sword here as the core of the formation, and he never expected that a human at the first level of Qi Refining would be able to take away the Crimson Flame Sword.

What shocked him even more was that Huo Yu had actually mastered the legendary Immortal Body Cloaking Technique!

At the moment it was frozen in place, Huangxiao was not only unable to move its body at all, but its spiritual power also stopped.

His supernatural powers, which he used to imprison this space and distort the power of teleportation, also paused for a moment.

It was in that brief moment that Huo Yu and Long Yucheng were able to escape successfully.

"Zixiao!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Huangxiao roared to the sky, and the entire Demon God Palace trembled violently with a deafening dragon's roar. The annihilating death intent contained in the sound penetrated the stone walls and quickly spread to all the passages.

Not far from where the Zhu Yan Sword had been located, the woman in green who had just regained her freedom due to the failure of the restriction also heard the dragon's roar that resounded from the ground, and her consciousness trembled violently.

However, before Linglong could react, she quickly lost her life force amidst the ensuing deathly aura and turned into a skeleton in no time.

At the entrance to the Nine Star Secret Realm in the valley, half a day has passed since the secret realm opened, and dozens of disciples are still waiting for the best time to enter.

During this time, several disciples emerged from the secret realm. Some were beaming with joy, some were dejected, and some had gloomy expressions.

Among them were many who were injured. Those with serious injuries were given medicine by the elders guarding the entrance to the secret realm, and then retreated to the side to meditate and recover.

They must wait until the secret realm ends before they can return to the sect with the other disciples.

Suddenly, the Jade Ring Water Curtain shone brightly, and then two figures emerged from the light.

The dozens of disciples who were still waiting for their chance in the valley and had not yet entered the secret realm immediately turned their gazes toward that place. Among the disciples who came out of the secret realm, a few also cast curious glances, their eyes flashing with a strange light.

The three elders remained calm as ever. The young man from Beast Taming Valley even had the mood to bet on which family's disciple this was, but the other two ignored him.

However, when everyone saw that what emerged from the water curtain were two bloodied and mangled figures, they were all shocked, one of whom was even at the late Foundation Establishment stage!

These two people were Huo Yu and Long Yucheng.

As soon as Huo Yuyi left the secret realm, a long-lost feeling of weakness welled up in his heart due to the exhaustion of both his spiritual power and divine sense.

He had no external injuries, and all the bloodstains on his body were Long Yucheng's, but the excessive consumption of his spiritual energy also made him feel extremely exhausted.

Within the Nine Star Secret Realm, Huo Yu used the legendary immobilization technique.

Although this immobilization technique is said to be able to freeze everything in the world, the amount of spiritual energy it consumes is astonishing.

Furthermore, the stronger the target's spiritual consciousness, the more the immobilization spell will consume.

In addition, since this immobilization spell lasts for a very short time, Huo Yu has tried it several times since he obtained it, but has never actually used it in battle.

The reason he cultivated this useless technique was entirely because the immobilization technique was the only relic left behind by the Heavenly Mystery Elder after his death.

The old man Tianji left a profound message on the jade slip containing the immobilization technique:

Although the way of Heaven cannot be reversed, this technique alone may be able to change one's destiny.

Huo Yu never had the chance to use this immobilization technique in his previous life, but unexpectedly, after being reborn, he used it to turn the tide of the world.

Before he could even ponder how far the old man had calculated before his death, his consciousness began to fade.

However, just before he was about to fall straight to the ground, he didn't forget to protect Long Yucheng, who was only half alive in his arms.

When Huo Yu opened his eyes again, he was no longer in that secluded valley, but in a pavilion carefully constructed of sandalwood.

A faint, elegant medicinal fragrance lingers in the air, bringing a sense of tranquility.

Inside the room, besides Huo Yu, there was an elderly man with silver hair and beard standing quietly to the side. Seeing Huo Yu wake up, he slowly stepped out of the room, leaving Huo Yu alone to carefully experience the changes in his body.

It seems he has returned to the Qiongshan Sect, and the old man is none other than He Changsheng, another renowned elder of the Qiongshan Sect.

Although this person's cultivation level was only at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, he was quite famous among the elders of the three sects because of his alchemy skills.

He Changsheng had obviously used a lot of pills on Huo Yu, and Huo Yu's spiritual power, which had been almost depleted due to forcibly controlling the Zhu Yan Sword, had been mostly restored.

However, his spiritual condition was still far from optimistic, and his soul was even weaker than when he was first reborn.

In contrast, the Heavenly Dao value above his head had changed from pitch black to a deep gray, which made Huo Yu's mood slightly better.

Before long, Elder He, who had left earlier, entered the room with a dignified-looking middle-aged Taoist priest. This man was none other than the head of the Qiongshan Sect.

The sect leader scanned Huo Yu with his divine sense and couldn't help but frown. Elder He sighed:

"His divine sense has been severely damaged. I have done my best. Now, it is up to fate."

Upon hearing this, the sect leader sighed softly, offered a few words of comfort to Huo Yu, and then inquired about what had happened in the secret realm.

Huo Yu knew that this was his main purpose, so he briefly recounted the matter of the Demon God Palace and Huang Xiao.

He omitted the details of his two encounters with Huang Xiao, only saying that Huang Xiao was held back by others and only managed to catch up with him in the end. Then, he was momentarily blocked by Long Yucheng's Crimson Flame Sword, and took the opportunity to activate the teleportation jade slip, escaping with Long Yucheng.

When asked about Huang Xiao's cultivation level, Huo Yu pretended to think for a moment before answering:

"This disciple cannot fathom it."

The sect leader frowned, told Huo Yu to rest well, and then turned and left.

Huo Yu was not worried that his words would be exposed. After waking up, he had already made contact with the mixed-blood dragon through the slave seal.

When Long Yucheng activated the teleportation jade slip, Gulong was also brought out of the secret realm. To prevent the three elders from noticing, it hid directly on Long Yucheng's body and is still with him at this moment.

Huo Yu learned from the mixed-blood dragon that five days had passed since he left the secret realm.

Long Yucheng woke up earlier than him and had already gone through several rounds of questioning. What Huo Yu said earlier was not much different from Long Yucheng's testimony.
