At the most critical moment, Zhuang Zi had dodged the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal.
Although Zhuang Zi was not injured physically, in terms of spirit and power, he was slightly inferior.
If Zhuang Zi had dodged without counterattacking, he would not have lost in presence. However, he had used the dragon-headed cane to counterattack. After the cane was shattered, he did not use any other methods to break through the barrier. That was because he had mentally admitted that the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal was unbeatable.
In terms of presence, he had been completely suppressed by Zhong Shan.
Perhaps to a mortal, Zhuang Zi was not injured at all and could just fight again. However, to a peak expert like him, a loss in presence would greatly affect the subsequent battles. At the very least, a flaw would appear in his mind for a short period of time.
Zhong Shan was also an expert in psychological warfare. As soon as a flaw appeared, he would definitely be able to tear it open and continue to break through layer by layer. As a result, both of them understood that the outcome of the battle had already been decided.
In the future, Zhuang Zi might have been able to defeat Zhong Shan if he fixed the flaw perfectly. However, today, Zhong Shan had won!
With a wave of his hand, the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal landed in Zhong Shan's palm.
Holding the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal, Zhong Shan's eyes were sharp as he stared at Zhuang Zi without saying a word!
There was no point in continuing the battle because the Heavenly Profound Sect was already dead. Zhuang Zi and the Heavenly Profound Sect had no relationship at all. He had only disappointed the Huanggu clan. Even if he defeated Zhong Shan now, it would not affect the relationship between Zhuang Zi and the Huanggu clan. As a result, continuing the battle would be an arduous and unrewarding task!
The two of them were well aware that Zhong Shan had put away the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal for the same reason. However, Zhong Shan did not speak first because Zhong Shan wanted to maintain the sharpness of his presence. Now that he had the advantage, if Zhong Shan spoke first, the psychological advantage from before would be gone. If Zhuang Zi was unwilling to leave, then there would be a battle to fight.
One must always be on guard against others. Zhong Shan did not want to give up this psychological advantage for nothing.
Zhuang Zi naturally understood this as well. The two of them stared at each other coldly for a while. Finally, Zhuang Zi revealed an indescribable smile and spoke first, "Alright, Chung Holy King, Zhuang Zi has learned a lot today!"
"Zhuang Zi, you're too polite!" Zhong Shan said lightly.
"Let's part ways here for today. I'll look for Chung Holy King for advice in the future!" Zhuang Zi took a deep breath and said coldly.
"I'm honored!" Zhong Shan said with a solemn expression.
"Goodbye!"
Zhuang Zi left behind a parting sentence and disappeared from where he stood. His Great Dao also collapsed into countless butterflies.
Zhong Shan looked in the direction of the manor in silence.
"Hu!"
The dragon-shaped Great Dao suddenly disappeared. Zhong Shan also slowly put away the Square Heaven Imperial Jade Seal. Turning his head, Zhong Shan looked in the direction of Sorrowful Black Hair.
Outside the Black Tortoise Holy Ground.
"Zhuangzi left in defeat?" An expert exclaimed.
"That's impossible. Zhuangzi is the person closest to becoming a Saint. How could Zhong Shan lose to Zhuangzi? He left on his own! "
"Bullsh * t. If someone weaker than you destroyed the magic treasure that you had refined for hundreds of thousands of years, would you leave without feeling any pain?"
"Uh? No! "
"Zhong Shan is too strong!"
…
…
…
Zhong Shan didn't care about the exclamations of the experts outside. Instead, he looked at Sorrowful Black Hair.
Sorrowful Black Hair was still kneeling outside the Nine Yin Demonic Fire Pool. Her face was tear-stained and she looked a little dazed, as if she couldn't figure out something.
Behind her, a group of Ice God Palace maids knelt respectfully to Sorrowful Black Hair, but Sorrowful Black Hair didn't care at all.
"Girl, what's wrong?" Zhong Shan came closer and whispered.
Hearing Zhong Shan's voice, Sorrowful Black Hair seemed to come back to her senses. Her tears had dried, but her expression was extremely ugly.
"Were we wrong?" Sorrowful Black Hair said sadly.
"What's wrong?"
"I always thought that the ancestor encouraged me to die because she was afraid of death. But now I find that it's not right. She went to die herself. Why did this happen? Was she right? "Sorrowful Black Hair said sadly.
Looking at Sorrowful Black Hair, Zhong Shan sighed slightly. Among the Empresses, although Sorrowful Black Hair was the most silent, she was also the kindest. The ancestor died for her, and in the blink of an eye, Sorrowful Black Hair blamed herself deeply.
"Ice God Palace Master, she wasn't wrong!" Zhong Shan thought and said.
"Huh?" Sorrowful Black Hair looked at Zhong Shan in surprise.
She wasn't wrong? Didn't Zhong Shan always say that her thoughts were extreme?
"In this world, there is no right or wrong. Some people think something is right, while others think it's wrong. It's just that the perspective is different. From her point of view, she was right. She was not wrong. She was compassionate and sacrificed herself for the common people. No one would say that she was wrong. But the same thing is wrong in our eyes. There is no absolute 'right' or 'wrong' in this world. It's enough for us cultivators to be able to stay true to our hearts throughout the long years. "Zhong Shan comforted.
Sorrowful Black Hair's eyes were wide open. Her original sadness seemed to have dissipated a lot.
"She has her own pursuits. You don't have to be too sad for her. She dedicated her life to her pursuits. I think when she left, she should be satisfied." Zhong Shan comforted.
Sorrowful Black Hair's eyes were wide open. Her sadness was gone, and she looked at Zhong Shan with a face of surprise.
"What's wrong?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"When my ancestor left, her soul was really peaceful. How did you know?" Sorrowful Black Hair was surprised.
Smiling faintly, Zhong Shan said, "I've said it before, she is dedicating herself to her pursuit, filling up her psyche world. That's why she will be at peace and content. Even if she is eaten by the first Tianmo, she will still feel at ease."
"I don't understand!" Sorrowful Black Hair shook her head.
"You will understand in the future. Wipe your tears. Many people are watching!" Zhong Shan helped Sorrowful Black Hair up and said.
"Okay!" Sorrowful Black Hair's face turned red. She immediately wiped away the tears on her face.
After comforting Sorrowful Black Hair, Zhong Shan looked up at the starry sky.
Above the starry sky, Nangong Sheng's peerless formation.
Twenty-five Zu Xian entered, and the eight great Zu Xian of Daikon State assisted. Only to persuade the Xuanwu elders for Turtle Snake!
Squinting his eyes, Zhong Shan's eyes flashed with a trace of anticipation.
The formation could trap the Zu Xian for a day, so Zhong Shan was not in a hurry. He lowered his head and looked around.
In the distance, after witnessing Zhong Shan's strength, no one dared to step forward. They only watched from afar.
The Black Tortoise experts quickly stuck their heads out of their turtle shells and turned back into their human forms.
The Black Tortoises recovered and were shocked by the scene in front of them.
The Black Tortoise's central square and a large number of palaces had been razed to the ground. Where was Sovereign? Where were all the elders?
Why was there only Zhong Shan and the people from the Ice God Palace?
"Whoosh!" The Black Tortoise Gu Xian flew toward Zhong Shan.
In the blink of an eye, they surrounded Zhong Shan.
"Where are Chung Holy King, Sovereign, and the elders?" A Gu Xian asked in a deep voice.
"Wait patiently. In a day, your elders will be back!" Zhong Shan said lightly.
The Gu Xian did not know what was going on. They frowned and looked at the group of people in front of them strangely.
Wait! Everyone could only wait patiently. The Black Tortoises did not want to make things difficult for Zhong Shan, so they could only secretly watch from afar.
"Zhong Shan, why didn't Cheng Hou come?" Qing Si asked in confusion.
Zhong Shan looked at the top of the four pillars and smiled. "Because I've already sent people to intercept him."
"Intercept?" Qing Si also looked at the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Realm.
"You mean Huan Ji? Huan Ji went to intercept Cheng Hou? Can she stop him? "Qing Si asked worriedly.
"She's only responsible for delaying him for a while. It shouldn't be difficult. After all, the laws of the Heavenly Demon Realm are different from those of the Great Thousand World. Cheng Hou is not a saint there!" Zhong Shan said in a deep voice. However, a look of worry for Huan Ji flashed in his eyes.
Just as Zhong Shan and Qing Si were talking about Huan Ji, the void in front of Zhong Shan opened. Seven or eight Heavenly Demons suddenly appeared.
The Black Tortoises in the distance immediately grabbed their weapons. The Sovereign and the elders disappeared. They were all in a state of panic.
The seven or eight Heavenly Demons gathered and disappeared. However, a black-robed figure appeared in front of Zhong Shan.
"Huan Ji, you're back!" Qing Si immediately went forward and grabbed Huan Ji's hand.
When Zhong Shan went to the Crystal Clan, Huan Ji wanted to get close to Qing Si. The two of them had a good conversation. Seeing that Huan Ji had returned, Qing Si immediately smiled.
"Huan Ji, you've worked hard this time!" Zhong Shan immediately said.
"No, it's not my credit!" Huan Ji said with a deep frown.
"How is it not your credit? It's because of you that Cheng Hou did not come. This battle was averted. By the way, why hasn't Cheng Hou come out yet? "Zhong Shan asked.
"No, it's not like that!" Huan Ji immediately shook her head.
"Oh?" Zhong Shan was puzzled.
"I, I didn't see Cheng Hou at all in the Heavenly Demon Realm!" Huan Ji said with a strange expression.
"You didn't see Cheng Hou?" Zhong Shan was surprised.
"Yes, the Heavenly Demon Realm is very big. I didn't dare to go too far. I've actually been near the entrance of the Heavenly Demon Realm these days. I was worried that Cheng Hou would return at any time, so I've been guarding nearby. However, there was no sign of Cheng Hou at all. Or rather, Cheng Hou was not prepared to help the Black Heaven Sect! "Huan Ji was puzzled.
"Then where did Cheng Hou go?" Zhong Shan asked in puzzlement.
"I don't know either!" Huan Ji shook her head.
"Didn't you say that you could ask the Heavenly Demons? Didn't the other Heavenly Demons see him? "Zhong Shan was surprised.
"I asked, but those Heavenly Demons don't know. On the first day Cheng Hou entered, there were Heavenly Demons who saw him. However, not long after, Cheng Hou disappeared in the blink of an eye. No one knows where he went. In the past few months, there have been many high-level Heavenly Demons gathered at the entrance. It shouldn't be possible for Cheng Hou to leave their line of sight, but Cheng Hou suddenly disappeared. He hasn't appeared until today!" Huan Ji did not understand.
"Gone?" Zhong Shan was extremely surprised.
"Yes. You're so smart, can you guess what happened? "Huan Ji said expectantly.
Zhong Shan was speechless. What was the use of being smart? How could he guess this bit of information?
"Everyone has their own secrets. Cheng Hou is known as the number one Saint now. He must have some extraordinary methods. Perhaps we will know in the future. Don't worry!" Zhong Shan comforted.
"Yes!" Huan Ji nodded.
Although Zhong Shan comforted Huan Ji, his heart did not relax.
