"Quick, follow the Path Master!"
The Immortal Generals of the Interception Path were filled with anger, but they had nowhere to vent their anger. They did not expect Fang Xing to have such a magical power that could actually find the two missing Immortal Generals. After a moment of shock, they immediately followed. As for Fang Xing himself, he did not fall behind and followed closely behind the two flies. He had borrowed the power of the Prodigal Pen and used the laws in his realm of consciousness to make the imprints left by the two Immortal Soldiers on his Interception Path Life Chart have the instinct to return to the origin. This was a technique of the Primordial Unity realm, but it was very tricky to use. Without the Prodigal Pen, it would be very difficult for him to use it successfully. He was just giving it a try. He did not know if he could use this method to find them, but after all, they were his subordinates. No matter how confident he was, he still had to give it a try!
"Haha, may I know where Your Highness is going in such a hurry?"
As soon as they left the divine temple, before they had even traveled seven or eight miles, a Divine Clan living being greeted them with a face full of smiles and asked.
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, get out of the way!"
Fang Xing flicked his sleeve and the few Divine Clan living beings were thrown to the side. They were shocked and angry at the same time.
As for Fang Xing, he didn't even look at them. He just followed behind the flies, blindly following them. Behind him were the three hundred Dao disciples. Everyone stayed close to them, and wherever they passed, they alarmed many living beings of the Celestial Race. Some were curious, some were in awe. They watched from afar with complicated expressions and pointed at them. There were even people who sensed that something was wrong and had long since reported to the various Godly Kings …
Following the two flies, the immortals flew close to the ground. After traveling for hundreds of miles, they arrived at the side of a black swamp. It was about ten miles wide, and there was a black mountain in the middle. The two flies flew towards the black mountain. Fang Xing and the others walked on the swamp. Not long after, they arrived at the mountain. The mountain was about a thousand feet tall, and it was filled with holes like a beehive. It looked very strange.
Fang Xing sized up the cave abode with a sinister look. Just as he was about to dive in, he suddenly heard a rumble from the mountain, and a huge creature emerged. When he looked closely, he saw that it was a black crocodile-like creature. It was huge, covered in refined iron, and exuded a terrifying aura that reeked of blood. On its head, three clear eyes stared at the sky. When they swept their gaze across the area, all the immortals were shocked and subconsciously took a few steps back!
"Xiu!"
When the two flies saw it, they immediately became happy. They buzzed around it a few times and then burrowed into its body.
"What are you doing?"
The giant crocodile asked. It buzzed, but it was also startled by the two flies.
"There's no mistaking it. This is it!"
Seeing this, how could the immortals not understand?
They had already sensed the auras of the two missing Immortal Soldiers from the two flies. They knew that it was some sort of Divine Power that the Dao Master had used to trace the source of the Immortal Soldiers. The two flies would only go to the location of the Immortal Soldiers' remains. They would only be at a loss if the two Immortal Soldiers' souls were destroyed and turned into ashes. Now that they were heading straight for the black mountain and burrowing into the crocodile's body, they could be sure that the two missing Immortal Soldiers were probably there at the very beginning …
… in the giant crocodile's stomach!
"Demon, return my comrade's life!"
Behind Fang Xing, the hot-tempered Immortal General Xia Kui's eyes were bloodshot. He roared and charged at the giant crocodile.
At this time, Fang Xing's eyes were cold, and he had no intention of stopping him.
"How dare you bully me, the Crocodile God?"
The giant crocodile was both shocked and angry when it saw this. It opened its mouth and spat out a sky full of magma. The magma burned the sky red as it flew toward Xia Kui. Xia Kui's figure flashed a few times, then he circled behind the crocodile and was about to stab it with his sword!
"Calm down for now. Don't use force!"
It was also at this moment that a voice suddenly rang out from the Nine Heavens, and a figure swiftly flew over.
When the immortals looked up, they saw that it was the Primeval Celestial King, whom they had not seen for days. He had heard that Fang Xing had led an army out of the temple and was heading straight for the black mountain, so he hurried over with two Celestial Generals. While he was still in the air, he waved his hand and three black shadows flew out from his sleeves. They landed in the black swamp with a loud rumble and turned into three gigantic statues of gods that were hundreds of feet tall. They were clad in black armor and wielded a broadsword in one hand, a saber in the other, and a broadsword in the other. They separated the two immortals from each other …
"Sigh, Your Highness, why didn't you stay in the temple and wait for the Master God to summon you? What are you doing here?"
Ancient God King Tong had stunned the immortals with his spell, but he didn't show off. Instead, he looked at Fang Xing with a bitter smile.
"Ancient God King Tong, you came so quickly …"
Fang Xing glanced at him and said calmly without batting an eyelid, "That's fine. This prince has something to report to the Divine King …"
As he spoke, he calmly told them about the disappearance of the two Immortal Soldiers.
"Hehe, they're gone?"
Ancient God King Tong's reaction was unexpected when he heard Fang Xing's words. He was startled for a moment before he smiled and said, "Be careful. Your Highness, please tell your subordinates that the Celestial Realm can't be compared to the Immortal Realm. It's best if you don't run around …"
"Our people are missing. We're talking to you nicely, and you're telling us this?"
Ancient God King Tong's reaction angered the immortal generals. They were all angry, but they couldn't do anything about it.
"Ancient God King Tong, shouldn't you investigate this?"
Fang Xing looked down and didn't say anything. He was so honest that he didn't look like a King God at all.
"Okay, I'll get someone to check it out for you. If they can be found, send them back!"
Ancient God King Tong agreed without hesitation, but anyone could tell that this was just a perfunctory answer.
"It's impossible to find them. I have my own way of knowing if they're dead or alive. I've even used the soul imprint they left here to trace their remains. I found out that their remains are in this celestial friend's stomach …"
Fang Xing's face was devoid of emotion. He merely raised his head and suppressed his anger as he looked at Ancient God King Tong calmly.
"Oh?"
Ancient God King Tong was a little surprised. He shook his head and smiled, "Your Highness, do you have any proof?"
"The two strands of soul are the proof!"
"Err … where are the souls?"
Ancient God King Tong looked around and chuckled, "I don't see any divine souls here …"
"You … so many of us saw it with our own eyes. How can you lie?"
Hearing these words, the Immortal Generals behind Fang Xing were filled with righteous indignation, and they shouted loudly.
"This …"
Ancient God King Tong hesitated and turned to glare at the giant crocodile, "Have you ever been disrespectful to His Highness' subordinates?"
The giant crocodile snickered, "I've always been sleeping at the foot of the mountain. How am I disrespectful? When have I done anything disrespectful? Just now, I suddenly felt a murderous intent and thought it was an enemy attack. That's why I hurriedly came out to check and saw these rude people. One of them accused me of eating his people, and the other attacked me. Isn't this bullying? "
As he spoke, the giant crocodile's expression changed to one of anger and it spat on the ground, "So skinny that there's not much meat on them. Their bones are so hard that they can't fit in my teeth. They aren't anything good. Do you think I want to eat them?"
Hua!
Many people's expressions turned strange when they heard this.
Was this a denial or an admission?
"Ai, this is difficult. One says yes, the other says no. What a headache …"
Ancient God King Tong smiled bitterly and interrupted, "Even if we cut open this black crocodile's stomach, we probably won't find anything. The Ze Qu Tribe has strong physiques and powerful arts. No matter what they eat, they'll immediately refine it. They're even more powerful than cauldrons. Otherwise, I would've been able to use my arts to probe …"
"Moreover, I know this Ze Qu Crocodile God. He's a divine general who's made great contributions to the Divine Lord. He's always been cautious and never lies. If Your Highness doesn't have concrete evidence, then it's hard to blame him. How about this, I'll bring this crocodile back and interrogate him. If I can find any evidence, I'll definitely seek justice for Your Highness …"
"What?"
Hearing this, the immortals behind Fang Xing were all shocked and angered.
"So many people saw the soul returning to origin. Can't that be used as evidence?"
"A murderer must pay with his life. What's more, it ate one of our comrades. How can we let it go so easily?"
Originally, Fang Xing had already used his mystique to prove that the giant crocodile was the man-eater, but this Ancient God King actually said that he didn't have any evidence. In the end, he even said that he wanted to bring him back for interrogation. But as long as one wasn't blind, they could see that he was just being perfunctory!
But at this moment, the surrounding celestials snickered.
"Haha, what soul returning to origin? We didn't see anything …"
"That's right. We only saw Your Highness suddenly run over to Ze Qu Crocodile God with his men …"
"Without any evidence, how can you insist that it was the crocodile god who killed?"
The attitudes of these divine beings towards Immortals could be said to be incomparably complicated. Before this, when Fang Xing and the others had just arrived at the Divine Realm, they were all respectful and fearful. But after a few days, they actually became cold, arrogant, and cruel again. At this time, it was as if they were taking pleasure in Fang Xing's misfortune. Each and every one of them deliberately added insult to injury. There were even some people who jeered and hid far away, teasing each other with words …
"Haha, Your Highness, you should be careful. In our Divine Realm, there are many who don't like immortals at all. Some even like to eat immortals … There's nothing we can do about it. Who knows how many celestials have lived in their ancestral lands for countless years, but they've all been taken away by you immortals? The resources they rely on for sustenance and cultivation have also been taken away by you immortals. They need to fill their stomachs, don't they?"
Ancient Godking Tong sighed and shook his head helplessly. "Your Highness, you've come to the Divine Realm on a diplomatic mission, but two immortal soldiers have gone missing. I won't ignore this and will do my best to investigate it. However, you can't slander someone who's done a meritorious deed without any evidence, can you? Your Highness, please listen to me and return first. I'll take this black servant with me. When I get the results, I'll definitely give you an explanation. Your Highness, don't worry. It's just two immortal soldiers, what's the big deal? I'm sure Your Highness isn't a petty person. You can't ruin an important mission for two immortal soldiers, can you? "
Ancient Godking Tong said softly, a faint smile on his face as he looked at Fang Xing.
