The atmosphere became more and more tense, the atmosphere became more and more strange. Zhong Lijin clearly felt it, but she did not understand why she did not feel anything. The only thing she could feel was that the thing in the abyss was especially strong, so strong that her body could not accept it.
"Be careful, there … might be something here!" Lin Ray's voice transmitted to Zhong Lijin's second middle school.
She turned her head and looked at Lin Ray. A strange light flashed through her eyes. She nodded heavily and replied, "Understood, senior!"
After saying that, the two of them fell into silence. Because Lin Ray was there, Zhong Lijin felt extremely safe and at ease.
At the bottom of the abyss, the Scarlet Flame Tiger had returned to its original size. Its body was a hundred zhang tall, but even so, it still had not reached the bottom.
"What exactly is this place, to think that …"
"Roar!"
Suddenly, a bestial roar came from below. Along with the appearance of the bestial roar, a blazing energy rushed out from below.
"Fuck."
The Scarlet Flame Tiger lowered its head and looked down. That blazing energy made it feel extremely uncomfortable, especially the suppression from its bloodline, which made it extremely angry.
It did not expect that in such a remote place, there would be a demonic beast with a bloodline purer than its own.
"Who are you? Get out here!" The Scarlet Flame Tiger roared furiously. Suddenly, it rushed down with a surge of energy. Suddenly, the fog that was originally enveloping it dissipated for a moment and recovered.
"That is …"
The moment the fog separated, the Scarlet Flame Tiger's gaze locked on. Although it was only for a moment, it was still able to see it clearly.
"Zhu."
"How is this possible?"
Four thousand years had not only allowed the Scarlet Flame Tiger's cultivation to increase greatly, it had also increased its knowledge by a lot. When it saw the thing in the abyss just now, it was completely stunned.
Zhu, a ferocious beast that had existed since an unknown time. It was as if it had existed since the beginning of the world. When the world was created, it had already appeared in the Desolate Era. Of course, it had only appeared once and did not leave much behind.
However, that mere instant was enough for everyone to remember his existence. There was no other reason than his ferocity. When Zhu appeared, the sky changed color. Everything that Zhu did not like would be mercilessly erased by him.
Not long after the beginning of the chaotic era, Zhu's figure disappeared from everyone's sight. Not necessarily, he had left behind a few words in the book, as well as …
A portrait of a candle.
Unfortunately, the Scarlet Flame Tiger happened to be looking at the existence of Fang Zhu in the System's library.
However, he did not dare to believe that the infamous Zhu would actually exist in such a desolate place.
"Holy shit, that's not right. If that guy is really Zhu, not to mention me, even if Brother Lei were to come, he would likely not be a match for Zhu."
The Scarlet Flame Tiger's death was fine, but … he didn't want anything to happen to Lin Ray.
"Brother Lei, Brother Lei?"
His Divine Sense and Spiritual Power instantly turned left and released Dao Extremity in an attempt to contact Lin Ray.
Time slowly passed. In the blink of an eye, half a minute had passed. However, there was still no reply from Lin Ray. The Scarlet Flame Tiger was truly anxious.
"Brother Lei, Brother Lei …"
He called out again, but … Lin Ray's voice still did not resound in his mind.
"Forget it!"
Seeing that Lin Ray did not give any response, he understood that he could only resign himself to fate this time.
The sense of danger that emerged from below grew even stronger. The Scarlet Flame Tiger even felt as if he could see the arrival of the Grim Reaper.
"Zhu, although your inheritance is mysterious, this king does not believe in evil," Even though he said those words, his heart was trembling.
Zhu, that was Zhu, not an ordinary monstrous beast. He did not have the slightest idea of how to defeat Zhu.
"You … where did you come from? Why does this Emperor sense a familiar aura from you?!"
Zhu's voice sounded from below and landed on the Scarlet Flame Tiger Second Middle School. He frowned and lowered his head to look.
A familiar aura. Other than the Holy Spiritual Aura, there shouldn't be anything else.
As he thought about this, he released his cultivation. Instantly, it extended downward. He believed that this was the energy that Zhu was talking about.
"Chaotic Era?"
"You came from the Chaotic Era?" The muffled voice sounded again.
"You …"
Previously, he had only guessed. Now, he was certain that the person who spoke was really Zhu.
However, this name seemed to be a very distant thing in the Untainted Age.
"Chaotic Era?" The Scarlet Flame Tiger frowned. He recalled the records of Zhu's disappearance from the Chaotic Era and seemed to have thought of something. He continued, "Senior, you left the Chaotic Era for too long. Now, the Chaotic Era is no longer called the Chaotic Era!"
"Oh!"
Zhu replied indifferently. Then, he fell into silence. He seemed to be thinking about something. No one knew what it was exactly.
"Yes."
The Scarlet Flame Tiger did not stop. He did not dare to act rashly in front of Zhu. After all, Zhu's existence was a supreme existence. Of course, that was in his heart. As for what other people thought, it was their business.
"Senior. The current Chaotic Era is no longer the same as in your memory. It has become the current Sacred World. The energy that you feel might be the energy of a Saint. "
As he spoke, he raised his hand. Half Holy Spiritual Aura instantly gushed out from his palm and rushed downward.
"As expected!"
A soft sigh sounded from below. Then, a declining voice sounded again. "Liu Mei … Fellow Daoist Liu Mei, are you well?"
"Fellow … Fellow Daoist Liu Mei?"
The Scarlet Flame Tiger was unfamiliar with this name. He did not know who Liu Mei was. After all, he did not know all the people, things, and things of the Chaotic Era.
It was not easy to read a few introductions from books. Moreover … there were many books in the Scripture Pavilion in the system. He could not read all of them.
"It seems like there are not many old friends left!" The voice sighed. A regretful voice sounded from below. Then, the shadow of a huge creature suddenly appeared in the fog.
"You …"
No matter how stupid the Scarlet Flame Tiger was, he knew that it was going to rush out and be proud!
As he thought about it, his body tensed up. He looked down vigilantly. The Spiritual Qi in his body circulated to the left. He was ready to fight at any time.
Below, the huge shadow grew bigger and bigger. Soon, a huge shadow appeared in front of the Scarlet Flame Tiger.
A strange Zhu appeared in front of Lin Ray and the others.
Zhu had the head of a dragon, the body of a Qilin, and the tail of a dragon. Its cultivation was extremely high and unfathomable. The Scarlet Flame Tiger felt like an ignorant child in front of Zhu. It did not have the slightest intention of fighting to the death.
"Little guy, the bloodline of the Scarlet Flame Tiger has been cultivated to this level by you. It seems like you did not work hard in private!"
"Uh …"
Looking at Zhu, the Scarlet Flame Tiger scratched its head awkwardly. If it was said that it worked hard in cultivation, hehe, then it was true that it did not.
In Lin Ray's body, it did not need to deliberately cultivate. Spiritual Qi would enter its body at every moment. Its cultivation was increasing at every moment.
Of course, if the Scarlet Flame Tiger had a high-grade bloodline, it might not only be in the Divine Venerable Realm.
"Sigh!"
Looking at the Scarlet Flame Tiger, Zhu sighed. Its face showed a sad expression. It recalled its charm in the Chaotic Era.
It thought of the carefree journey with its best friends. It was so beautiful, so cool, and so happy.
Unfortunately, ever since it came here, it did not have the chance to go back. It was not that it did not want to, but it did not know how to go back. It did not have the ability to go back.
"No …"
As if it thought of something, its eyes lit up. It raised its head and looked at the Scarlet Flame Tiger anxiously. "Little guy, can you tell the Emperor how you came to this place?"
Once those words were spoken, the Scarlet Flame Tiger was stunned. He truly did not know how to answer Zhu's question.
After all, it … also came out when it came to this place. So …
"Senior, it's a long story. Actually, it's also …"
"Little Tiger!"
Just as the Scarlet Flame Tiger was speaking, Lin Ray's voice came from above and entered the Scarlet Flame Tiger and Zhu's ears.
"Hmm?"
Zhu raised its head and locked its gaze on Lin Ray. When it sensed Lin Ray's cultivation, a smile flashed across its face.
It raised its head and looked at Lin Ray. "Little kid, are you with this little guy?"
Lin Ray noticed Zhu's existence the moment he arrived. However, he was a little stunned by the existence in front of him that did not look like anything.
"Ding! Host, please be careful. The cultivation of the thing in front of you is very good. It is estimated to be at the Dao Integration Stage."
"Dao Integration Stage, this is also …"
"What? Dao Integration Stage? "
Lin Ray was dumbfounded. He did not react earlier. However, when he did, he was shocked by Zhu's cultivation.
What kind of level was the Dao Integration Stage? It was the peak existence in the Sacred World. Back then, Hong Jun was only at the Dao Integration Stage.
Furthermore, it was only a preliminary estimate. What was the point of this? If it went deeper, the other party's cultivation would gradually increase.
"That is possible because the aura that Zhu is emitting right now is only at the Dao Integration Stage. Since you have not activated the probing ability, the system can only make a preliminary estimate."
Lin Ray, "…"
Hearing these words, Linley was dumbfounded. So it really was as he had thought.
As he thought about it, his shocked gaze locked onto Zhu. It was really unbelievable that such an existence would guard such a desolate place.
"Zhong Li, is this the strange … beast you were talking about?"
"Er …" Zhu turned to look at Lin Ray and nodded awkwardly. "Yes, senior. This is the strange beast that guards the Underworld. However, when I came here previously, it was not like this. It was just an ordinary cliff. This …"
He looked around at the gray, misty surroundings, and was completely dumbfounded by what he saw.
She had no idea what was going on.
"What the f * ck is going on?" She felt terrible. Previously, she thought that the strange beasts here were nothing to them. Now, she looked at this guy who was estimated to be at the Dao Integration Stage. Wasn't this a blatant slap to her face?
"Kid, the Emperor is asking you if you are with Little Tiger?" An impatient voice sounded and entered Lin Ray's ears, instantly waking him up.
He looked at Zhu and nodded subconsciously. "Yes, I did come with Little Tiger!"
It was up to him to say that a wise man submits to circumstances. When facing an opponent who was stronger than him, it was better not to keep up appearances and suffer. A real man should know when to yield and when to stand tall. Wasn't that better?
"Brother Lei, what should we do next?" Little Tiger's voice sounded in his mind.
Looking at Little Tiger, Lin Ray hesitated for a moment. When he looked at Zhu again, a smile flashed across his face.
He clasped his hands and asked shamelessly, "Senior, can we enter the Underworld from here?"
"The Underworld?"
Lin Ray's question instantly attracted everyone's attention.
"Yes, the Underworld." Lin Ray nodded heavily.
Zhu's relaxed face instantly became serious. She stared at Lin Ray with vigilance.
"Kid, you are not from this world. Therefore, the Emperor still advises you to return to where you came from. Be a good person and do things steadily. Don't do things that you can't handle."
As she spoke, her gaze fell on Zhong Li, who was trapped by Lin Ray. She shook her head helplessly and raised her claws, slashing at the energy barrier that trapped Zhong Li.
"Bang!"
In an instant, just an instant, Zhong Li, who was trapped by Lin Ray's energy barrier, was shattered by Zhu's gentle words. His energy dissipated into the air.
"You …"
Seeing that his energy barrier was broken, Lin Ray was furious. However, when he thought of his opponent's cultivation level, the surging atmosphere instantly calmed down.
"Senior, don't you think this is a little …"
Swoosh!
A piercing sound rang out as Zhong Li, who had been standing tall in the air, instantly disappeared from his original spot. He turned around and appeared beside Zhu as he stared blankly at the scene before him. His horizons had widened. Sigh, it was a pity that he could not buy the Call the Wind and Summon the Rain during this period of time.
"This person is from the Underworld. I recognize his aura. Please return. With the Emperor's protection, you won't be able to pass."
As he spoke, he turned around and led Zhong Li away, disappearing from Lin Ray and Zhong Li's line of sight.
…???
The slaughter continued in Hongtian City. Fan Jun did not let the matter rest after killing Liu Wei. In the blink of an eye, he slaughtered the Imperial Uncle's residence, and then the officials of the various empires. Other than those who were on good terms with Li Zhiping, the other officials were all killed by Fan Jun. Those who were too important to be useful were all killed without exception.
Of course, they were basically the main members of those officials' families. The rest of the servants and maids were all dismissed.
In contrast, in the palace, Hong Zhi had already been killed. He sat on the ground, paralyzed. His face was filled with pain and malevolence.
Previously, he was worried about Li Zhiping and thought that it would be a pity to use the three empires to kill Li Zhiping. However, he did not expect that there would be such a plaything in the capital.
With 30,000 soldiers, they were able to suppress all the military forces in the capital. The other party did not even have a chance to retaliate.
"Li Zhiping, I didn't expect that after you died, your subordinate would still do this. What is he trying to do? Does he really want my Hongtian Empire to be destroyed before he stops?"
On the road back to the Capital City, Li Zhiping was galloping on horseback, hurrying along without stopping. If Hong Zhi saw Li Zhiping, he would probably jump up in fright and ask him a question.
"Didn't you get up?!"
