Fatso Huang was truly ashamed. He was too ashamed to show his face. He was Ye Xuan's right-hand man, and Ye Xuan had given him great authority in the Celestial Court. However, he had no clue about this matter at all.
"Sir, please give me some more time. I will definitely find Di Jiang and the Candle Dragon," Fatso Huang pleaded in shame.
"No need. I already have some clues." Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes and murmured.
"Sir, do you know where Di Jiang and the Candle Dragon are?" Fatso Huang asked in surprise.
"I don't know, but someone should know." Ye Xuan smiled.
…
Auspicious clouds were surging in the void.
Luo Hou walked forward briskly, and Gu Beichen followed behind him. The master and disciple did not speak along the way. Gu Beichen did not know where Luo Hou was going either.
Suddenly, Luo Hu stopped in her tracks and turned to look at Gu Beichen.
"Actually, you should return to Ye Xuan's side. You have been following me all this time. If I get bored one day, you will be in big trouble."
"Master, you must be joking. Your disciple has yet to learn all of Master's abilities. The Heavenly Court is too peaceful and it's not a place that your disciple likes. Your disciple can only learn a lot by following you." Gu Beichen said calmly.
"Hahaha."
Luo Hu laughed out loud and said, "Boy, you can be considered a vicious and merciless person. Unfortunately, you are too loyal and honest. You are not suitable to pass on my mantle. Since you want to follow me, then so be it."
"Master, who do you think is qualified to be your disciple?" Gu Beichen asked with a smile.
"There is only one person in this world who is qualified to be my disciple." Luo Hou smiled proudly, and his eyes shone brightly.
"Who?" Gu Beichen asked curiously.
Gu Beichen was not boasting, but he was very talented. Otherwise, he would not have become a Sage-to-be in a hundred thousand years. This was a miracle in the Three Realms. Even he was not qualified to be Luo Hou's disciple. He was really curious who was qualified.
"Ye Xuan. Only Ye Xuan is qualified to be my disciple." Luo Hou smiled and gave an answer that shocked Gu Beichen. Gu Beichen looked at Luo Hou in surprise.
"Do you think that I am too arrogant?"
Luo Hou smiled, and his face showed an unprecedented pride. He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Gu Beichen, you are still too young. Ye Xuan is also too young. Do you know that before the Eldritch World was created, I was already in the Chaos? I even saw the Great God Pangu create the world. Even Dao Ancestor Hongjun saw me as a threat and wanted to kill me."
"There are too many secrets in this world. Whether it is you or Ye Xuan, you are all prisoners of this world. You have never seen the world outside the Three Realms."
"Do you think that I value Ye Xuan's cultivation?"
Luo Hou retracted his gaze from the sky and looked at Gu Beichen. A lonely aura surrounded him.
"What I value is Ye Xuan's temperament. Looking at him is like looking at my past self. He is the only one who can pass on my legacy," Luo Hou said softly.
"Unfortunately, he never believed me in the end, and he was too vigilant against me. But actually, he didn't know that if I wanted to kill him today, then he wouldn't be able to fight back at all." Luo Hou muttered in a low voice.
"Aren't you too arrogant?"
Hearing Luo Hou's words, Gu Beichen was slightly displeased. He knew that Ye Xuan was no longer as weak as before. Although Luo Hou's cultivation was unfathomable, it was impossible for him to kill Ye Xuan.
"Do you think that he is invincible among the Saints just because he defeated Nüwa and extracted Nüwa's Primordial Violet Vapor?"
Luo Hou smiled and said, "He was able to defeat Nüwa and fight against the other Saints because of his black armor. It's a pity that he can't control it at all. He had to plan for a long time before Nüwa gave him the opportunity."
"If I were him, I wouldn't have participated in the Heaven-Mending Banquet. I would have quietly gone to Nüwa's palace and killed Nüwa. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been attacked by all these Saints."
"Although he succeeded in the end, he took a huge risk. Moreover, I saw his battle with Lao Tzu. He was no match for Lao Tzu. He only used that armor to scare Lao Tzu away." Luo Hou spoke frankly with assurance, as if everything was under his control. He had the power to control the world.
"But you just said that you could kill Ye Xuan. What kind of ability do you have?" Gu Beichen narrowed his eyes and probed.
Buzz!
Suddenly, the void collapsed and the wind howled. A demonic light bloomed between Luo Hou's eyebrows, and a hazy, illusory object rippled out.
Ka-cha!
A wisp of demonic light flickered in the void, and the surrounding heaven and earth began to collapse. Just the power released by this item alone was enough to make Gu Beichen extremely terrified. Even his own true spirit was trembling slightly, and he felt the fear of death.
"Come."
Luo Hou said softly. A pitch-black spear appeared in his hand. The spear was as black as ink and exuded a strong demonic aura. However, it was hidden, and only black electric arcs flashed on the spear.
"This is …?"
Gu Beichen's expression changed. He muttered in a trembling voice, as if he had thought of something.
"The God-Slaying Spear!"
Luo Hou said softly. He gently touched the spear, and his eyes were filled with intoxication. It was as if this was his true treasure, and nothing could be more important than this.
"Do you know why Hongjun wanted to kill me after Pan Gu split open the sky?" Luo Hou looked up at Gu Beichen and asked.
"Could it be because of the God-Slaying Spear?" Gu Beichen guessed.
"That's right. It's because of this God-Slaying Spear. This spear can kill a Saint and cut through the rules of the Heavenly Dao. It's my true treasure, and even Hongjun is wary of it."
After Luo Hou finished speaking, the God-Slaying Spear returned to his glabella. The surroundings returned to normal, as if this peerless killing weapon had never appeared.
"Ye Xuan's armor is indeed terrifying. The Heaven-Destroying Halberd in his hand also has unfathomable power. However, it's a pity that he can't use these two treasures at all. I'm different. This God-Slaying Spear has already become one with me. If I wanted to kill him, Ye Xuan would have died under this spear."
"And I'll tell you a big secret. Back then, I was able to escape from Hongjun's hands because the God-Slaying Spear forced Hongjun to retreat," Luo Hou said proudly.
"This …?"
Gu Beichen's back was drenched in cold sweat. He was completely shocked by Luo Hou's words. He stood rooted to the ground, unable to recover for a long time.
"Are you scared?" Luo Hou patted Gu Beichen's shoulder. Then, he smiled and walked into the distance.
"What a pity, what a pity. I wanted to pass on my mantle to Ye Xuan. In the future, when I transcend heaven and earth, I could even leave the God-Slaying Spear to Ye Xuan. However, he's too stubborn. He's always seen me as a great enemy."
Luo Hou sighed and disappeared into the distance. Gu Beichen suddenly woke up. His expression changed rapidly. Then, he formed a seal with both hands and condensed a memory mirror image. He condensed the scene that Luo Hou had just shown into a jade slip and sent it directly to the Celestial Court.
After doing all this secretly, Gu Beichen chased after Luo Hou again. However, the scene just now was too shocking. It made Gu Beichen even more fearful of Luo Hou.
