Xue Fei's consciousness was already starting to blur.
His body wasn't the only thing that had turned into stone. Even his soul had dissipated within, returning to a state of decay.
Scenes seemed to flash before his eyes, one after another.
Entering the Broad Creed Mountain, becoming Shi Tie's direct disciple, receiving Shi Songtao's guidance when he was young, getting to know Xie Youchan for the first time, the rise of his junior apprentice-brother Yan Zhaoge, his first time in the World beyond Worlds, the rise of the Broad Creed Mountain, etc.
Other than that, there was also Shi Songtao falling to the dark side and perishing, his master Shi Tie perishing, him accepting Shi Jun as his disciple and marrying Xie Youchan …
Countless scenes flashed past his mind. Every scene and every event was so unforgettable.
Xue Fei was slightly dazed. Then, he saw a figure suddenly appearing in front of him.
"Senior apprentice-brother Xu!" Yan Zhaoge approached him. However, Xue Fei's body was already about to turn into stone.
Seeing Yan Zhaoge, Xue Fei's lips moved slightly, and he tried his best to pull out a smile.
"I can't finish the wine in my cup, yet my sorrow of parting has dissipated. Don't ask where we're going. Let's meet again and get drunk."
He murmured softly. His gaze finally looked at Shi Jun, Ying Yuzhen, Yan Zhaoge, and everyone else. Then, he smiled and closed his eyes.
Xue Fei's entire body was enveloped by a greenish-gray color, turning into a stone statue.
His facial features were lifelike, while his surface was rough and dry.
"Freeze!" Yan Zhaoge yelled in a deep voice, and a scroll appeared in his hand.
It originated from the Earth Queen's handwriting.
After being used repeatedly, the concept of the handwriting had become very weak.
Yan Zhaoge couldn't care less about that. He opened up the handwriting scroll and pasted it on Xue Fei who had already turned into a stone statue.
Under the nourishment of the warm radiance, the greenish-gray stone statue seemed to have gained some luster of life, and did not completely turn into a dead object.
Only, the luster of life was still slowly dissipating.
If this continued, it would soon completely dissipate, and the Later Earth Text wouldn't be able to maintain it forever.
"What exactly happened?" Yan Zhaoge only cared about asking about the specific situation now.
While checking on Shi Jun and Ying Yuzhen's situation and listening to everyone's narration, Yan Zhaoge's expression was gloomy. He seemed like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Back in the Eight Extremities World that year, Xue Fei had been his best junior apprentice-brother.
Back in the Eight Extremities World, the death of his eldest apprentice-uncle Shi Tie had always been a source of pain within Yan Zhaoge's heart.
As Xu Fei collapsed before Yan Zhaoge at this moment, even as a new wound was added to his heart, the old wounds of the past were also reopened once more.
Shi Tie and Shi Songtao's tragedy seemed to have continued to this day.
"Earth Splitting Pearl, Earth Splitting Pearl …"
Yan Zhaoge forced himself to calm down, pondering unceasingly.
"Swallowing the Earth Splitting Pearl … swallowing the Earth Splitting Pearl, circulating the Anti-Devil Countering Rune …" Yan Zhaoge's heart suddenly jolted, "Maybe …"
He rushed forward and picked up the stone statue that Xue Fei had turned into. He turned to Feng Yunsheng and said, "Yunsheng, come with me!"
Feng Yunsheng was taken aback, but she didn't ask any questions. She just nodded and said, "Alright!"
"Please bring my martial nephew and his mother back to the Awakened Sky Cosmos." Yan Zhaoge quickly said, "When I was on my way here, I've already contacted my father and senior apprentice-uncle Long. They'll be here very soon. You can travel together then."
"Although most of our previous enemies were wiped out by us, there might still be some that slipped through the net. Some might even be external reinforcements. Please be careful."
Although the Liberal Emperor and the Tranquility Emperor didn't understand, they still agreed, "Don't worry."
"Senior apprentice-uncle Yan …" Shi Jun looked at Yan Zhaoge anxiously.
Yan Zhaoge said, "Little Jun, return to the mountain first. Don't ask too much and take care of your injuries. I'll help you think of a way. When sister-in-law Yuzhen wakes up, you should accompany her more."
"After this tribulation, the devilish mark on you and your mother would be cleansed. As long as the Evil Devils don't plant another devilish mark on you, you'll be fine."
Shi Jun answered, "Yes, senior apprentice-uncle Yan."
He was reluctant to leave. However, he was still brought away by the Tranquility Emperor and the Liberal Emperor along with Ying Yuzhen.
"Let's go!" Yan Zhaoge and Feng Yunsheng left together.
On their way, Yan Zhaoge asked, "Where's that trash?"
Feng Yunsheng opened her palm, revealing a cube of bluish-black flames that resembled a cage.
She asked, "Where are we going?"
After Yan Zhaoge told her a location, he immediately dived into the cage of black flames and disappeared.
Feng Yunsheng took a deep breath and retracted her fingers, keeping the cage. She didn't stop and continued walking forward.
Within the cage of black flames, it was as if it was an independent world.
Between the heavens and earth, bluish-black devilish flames danced about, intersecting with each other as if they were chains.
Many chains converged at the center and landed on a single person, restraining him to the point that he couldn't move.
Yan Zhaoge coldly stared at this person.
The other party raised his head, revealing a pale face.
It was Chen Qianhua.
Chen Qianhua looked at Yan Zhaoge. Although his aura was weak, he still smiled and said, "You're here?"
"Just now, the Earth Devil's aura seemed to have weakened. What happened? Was he still killed?"
He shook his head, "It's about the Earth Devil. His cultivation was too high, and I couldn't see through his future. Now that he's being suppressed, I can't use the Origin Heavenly Scripture anymore, which makes it even harder for me to see through his future."
Due to the Earth Devil's cultivation being too high, Chen Qianhua couldn't see through his future. As such, he didn't mind it that much.
If Chen Qianhua's cultivation could increase, many things wouldn't be a secret anymore.
In comparison, he was more interested in existences like Yan Zhaoge, Yan Di, and Nie Jingshen.
"What a pity. I wonder how you'll deal with that mother-son duo if they become Devils?" He sighed.
Yan Zhaoge looked at him coldly and suddenly smiled.
Chen Qianhua's vision blurred, and Yan Zhaoge was already right in front of him.
A long radiance extended out from his fingertip, resembling a dagger. With a wave of his finger, a wound was slashed open on Chen Qianhua's body.
Then, a second, a third …
"Are you trying to slice me into pieces?" Although Chen Qianhua was in pain, he didn't seem to mind, "I've tried it before. It's not that interesting."
Yan Zhaoge didn't answer. Instead, he continued slashing downwards.
Very quickly, Chen Qianhua's entire body was filled with wounds, and he was on the verge of death.
"You're furious? Haha … "Chen Qianhua laughed weakly.
However, in the next moment, he couldn't laugh anymore.
Because he realized that the thousands of wounds he received had all disappeared as if it was an illusion.
Then, Yan Zhaoge's expressionless face continued slashing downwards.
Chen Qianhua opened his eyes wide.
This first slash was exactly the same as the previous slash, be it landing point, angle, strength, length, or depth!
"What are you trying to do?!"
Chen Qianhua, who seemed to be unperturbed by anything, suddenly roared fiercely.
Yan Zhaoge plainly replied, "What's the rush? It's only just begun."
