Master, don't tease me, you can't handle three of them.

Just as the golden light was about to shine on Zhang Tianxing, Han Luo moved.

In the blink of an eye, he was in front of Zhang Tianxing and kicked him hard.

"Han Luo!" Zhang Tianxing stopped addressing him as Immortal Venerable and roared in fury.

"Of course, you should make your move when you're about to succeed," Han Luo said calmly.

Han Luo's lips curled into a chilling smile, and Xue Ning pointed her sword directly at Zhang Tianxing, "This way, you'll be at your most desperate."

Zhang Tianxing was furious, but right now, basking in the golden light was more important!

However, every time he was about to touch the golden light, Han Luo would accurately repel him, and he could never touch a single ray of golden light!

Zhang Tianxing understood; Han Luo was determined to fight him to the death!

"Fine! In that case, I'll take your life for now!"

Zhang Tianxing no longer coveted the golden light, but instead desired Han Luo's fate.

But perhaps he forgot why Han Luo was called the Immortal Venerable.

Even though Zhang Tianxing's cultivation level is higher than Han Luo's, he still doesn't have any advantage.

Han Luo did not kill him, but instead left sword wounds on his body as if to humiliate him.

Zhang Tianxing panicked. He came to a conclusion—he couldn't beat Han Luo!

Zhang Tianxing began to beg for mercy.

"Immortal Venerable, I beg you to spare me! I was just one step away, just one step away!" Zhang Tianxing pleaded as he flew recklessly toward the place bathed in golden light.

But each time, Han Luo would kick him back.

Han Luo even stopped using his sword.

"boom--"

Han Luo kicked Zhang Tianxing into the rubble once again, this time less than a meter away from the golden light.

Han Luo stomped hard on Zhang Tianxing's head with her foot, her icy voice whispering like a demon.

"I told you, I'm going to make you despair."

He felt the same despair as when Jing Shu disappeared from his arms.

Time is slowly passing by, and the golden light is gradually fading away.

"No, no—!"

Zhang Tianxing struggled desperately, but Han Luo held him firmly in place, watching helplessly as the golden light vanished completely.

"Now, you can die."

With a single, swift thrust of his sword, Han Luo ended Zhang Tianxing's life.

Zhang Tianxing dared to do this at this time because the cultivation world was about to be destroyed, and the Heavenly Dao had no time to care about him.

But now that he has failed to ascend, the Heavenly Dao will certainly not let him off the hook.

Death was merely his way of surrendering himself to the will of Heaven.

After wiping the blood off Xue Ning's sword, Han Luo returned to the collapsed dungeon.

There, besides Zheng Hongtian, there was another person.

He Hao was holding Jing You's body, carefully laying him down in the center of the blood-stained surface, which was completely undamaged.

Zheng Hongtian held a spirit tablet in his hand, which was clearly pieced together again, and stared straight at Jing You.

"You have a way to save him," Han Luo suddenly said, startling the two of them.

Han Luo had sensed the presence of the two even before entering the dungeon. When he sensed that He Hao was still holding Jing You's body, he roughly guessed Zheng Hongtian and the others' purpose.

That's why Zheng Hongtian was able to so easily take Gu Meng hostage. However, Han Luo truly didn't expect that Zheng Hongtian was Zhang Tianxing's slave.

"Mm," Zheng Hongtian replied softly.

"What exactly are your thoughts about Jingyou?" Han Luo couldn't understand Zheng Hongtian, so she asked.

"I don't know." Zheng Hongtian shook his head.

“I am my master’s slave, so of course I have to obey him. But he is my son, and I want him to come back to life.”

Han Luo looked at Zheng Hongtian quietly for a while, "Without your luck, you will stop at the Mahayana stage and have no possibility of further progress."

"I know."

"You're using your own life to revive Jingyou, aren't you?"

"Ah."

"You don't regret it?"

"not regret."

Han Luo suddenly chuckled, "I wish you success."

"Thank you."

Han Luo turned and left, only to run into Shi Chuan and his two companions.

"Master, are you alright?" Gu Meng asked anxiously, pulling Han Luo around as she looked him over.

Han Luo rubbed Gu Meng's head. "I'm fine. You guys stay here. We'll go to the place where we were in the dark prison later and bring Jing You home."

"Xiaoyou?!"

"go home?!"

Shi Chuan and Gu Meng both exclaimed in surprise.

“Yes, he’s coming back. Zheng Hongtian can save him,” Han Luo nodded and said softly.

"And what about you, Master?" Shi Chuan asked subconsciously.

"Me?" Han Luo slightly curled the corners of her lips. "I'll go and bring Jing Shu back."

"Master, I'll go with you!" Shi Chuan said hurriedly.

Xiao You's sudden resurrection had already given them a huge surprise, but the situation with their junior brother was different.

They witnessed Jing Shu disappear with their own eyes! He feared what price his master would have to pay to bring Jing Shu back.

If that's the case, then let him come!

"Shi Chuan, trust your master."

Han Luo patted Shi Chuan on the shoulder, "You're the senior brother, so it's understandable that you want to protect your junior brothers and sisters. But you're also yourself."

After saying that, Han Luo disappeared from the spot.

Han Luo arrived at the main hall of the Tianyan Sect, where a huge rock stood in the very center.

This stone is indeed the Heavenly Dao Stone.

Han Luo placed his hand on it, and when he opened his eyes again, the surrounding environment had changed, and in front of him stood a person who looked exactly like him.

Seeing that Han Luo remained unmoved and showed no intention of questioning, Tian Dao twitched his lips slightly and offered an explanation.

"I have no form; when others see me, they will only see themselves..."

"Give Jing Shu back to me." Han Luo interrupted Tian Dao's nonsense and got straight to the point.

Tiandao choked for a moment, then said, "I don't know what you're talking about. He is Tianshi, and now he should naturally return to where he belongs."

"If you don't give it to us, we'll calculate your faults."

Because of the people you chose and your negligence, Zhang Tianxing established an evil cultivation organization, harming countless people.

It was because of him again that the cultivation world has once again become a living hell. If Jing Shu hadn't voluntarily returned to his position, you would have died along with him. Just this one stroke, what are you to do about it?

The Heavenly Dao remained silent. "This is my fault. From now on, there will be no more Heavenly Dao Stones. I will personally send those who died to reincarnation to make amends. As for Zhang Tianxing, I will not let him off easily."

"What about Jing Shu? He has already developed an independent consciousness; he is also a living being."

The Heavenly Dao rubbed its temples. "I will send him to be reincarnated. Is that alright?"

"No," Han Luo replied directly.

"I told you, give him to me."

"I've eliminated Zhang Tianxing for you and handed his soul over to you to deal with. In exchange, give me Jing Shu."

Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao laughed in anger, "So what if I gave it to you? He is just a wisp of consciousness, he has no physical body at all. Do you want to share a body with him?"

“He has it.” Han Luo took out Jing Shu’s demon core.

"As long as you provide the energy of heaven and earth, plus the merits I possess, you can use this demon core to reshape Jing Shu's physical body."

You should know better than I how much merit I possess; it is more than enough to revive Jingshu.

The Heavenly Dao, seeing the familiar aura emanating from the demon core, immediately understood. "These were all taught to you by Fox Yuan, weren't they?"

"Yes."

Before Tiandao could speak, Hanluo continued, "If you still don't agree, I will treat you as the second Zhang Tianxing."

Never die.

The Heavenly Dao raised an eyebrow. "Are you threatening me?"

"Yes. I have a strong aura of luck. If I'm not mistaken, I should be the chosen one of destiny you've selected. I have that ability."

Han Luo was right about that.

Even Heaven itself seemed somewhat helpless, and was still making its last struggle.

"It won't be long before he reincarnates, and you'll be able to meet him again. I can guarantee that he won't suffer any hardship."

But if we were to rebuild his physical body now, especially in the form of a nine-tailed celestial fox, you might have to wait even longer, and it might even…”

"I don't care, I just want him back by my side right now." Han Luo interrupted Tian Dao once again.

Tiandao: "..."

This person is really rude!

"Alright! I'll help you right now, how about it!"

"Thank you." Han Luo bowed to the Heavenly Dao.

Heavenly Dao: Actually, it seems he's not entirely lacking in politeness...

A white, transparent soul bead appeared in the palm of the Heavenly Dao, and inside it was a tiny Jing Shu.

The Heavenly Dao handed the Soul Pearl to Han Luo, somewhat moved, "Tian Shi has reincarnated so many times, but in the end, he decided that his soul would be like this. Perhaps this life has had the deepest impact on him..."

Han Luo's eyes were slightly moist as she carefully took Jing Shu's soul and gently touched it to the demon core.

Because the demon core originally belonged to Jing Shu, there was no repulsion between the two, and the soul quickly merged into the demon core.

Immediately afterwards, the Heavenly Dao drew upon some of the Qi of Heaven and Earth, combined with the merits on Han Luo's body, and wrapped the demon core within it, ultimately forming a pure white egg. However, on the egg's shell, there were faint golden patterns—those were the merits of Han Luo and Jing Shu themselves.

Han Luo held the egg in his arms, and in the next instant, he reappeared in the main hall of the Tianyan Sect, while the Heavenly Dao Stone had already disappeared.

Looking at the obedient and quiet egg in her arms, after finally confirming that Jing Shu had returned, Han Luo gently pressed her forehead against the egg, a wisp of demonic energy flashing in her eyes, her low and hoarse voice carrying a hint of morbid possessiveness.

"Jingshu, you're mine alone now..."

When Fan Qingyan rushed to Tianyan Sect and saw the overwhelming demonic energy on Han Luo's body, he felt as if his sky had collapsed.

My uncle has fallen into demonic possession...
