Cang Shi's remnant Soul prostrated on the ground, his heart filled with dread, not daring to harbor any ulterior motives.
He fully revealed all the hidden Demon Race information.
Han Xuanji stood with his hands behind his back, his aura as calm as an abyss. Beneath his Double Pupils, he could almost completely control the changes in the other party's thoughts.
He closed his eyes, and his immense Divine Thought, like an invisible tide, instantly swept across the entire Shenxuan Sect.
Countless Disciples, including the Elders, were all roughly scanned by him. At first glance, there was nothing unusual.
"Hmm?"
Han Xuanji's heart stirred. A cursory investigation had not revealed any clues.
The Demon Race's concealment method indeed had some skill.
However, this was also very reasonable. After all, the Demon Race had invaded various Mortal Realms and Spirit Realms, so they must have many years of experience in the Dao of Survival, and their infiltration and concealment techniques were already perfected.
As far as he knew, the Demon Race wasn't entirely composed of muscle-bound brutes; they also had strategists to plan and advise. For such cross-Realm wars, it was normal for plans to span thousands of years, and they would continuously improve their concealment methods for this purpose.
The next second.
It was as if Chaos flowed in Han Xuanji's eyes. After activating his Double Pupils, this time, he clearly detected a wisp of dark purple Qi entwined deep within the Divine Souls of several seemingly ordinary Disciples.
The number was neither too many nor too few, completely consistent with what Cang Shi had said.
"He didn't lie."
Han Xuanji said indifferently.
The moment his voice fell, his mind stirred.
Han Xuanji naturally wouldn't allow these Demon Race members to continue living in the Shenxuan Sect.
Outside the hall, the mountain wind seemed to pause for a moment.
The few marked Disciples, no matter where they were, all froze.
Immediately, their eyes suddenly became hollow, as if their Souls had been drawn out, and they silently slumped to the ground.
There were no screams, no fluctuations.
In a single thought, their lives were completely erased, returning to nothingness.
This immediately caused panic among the surrounding people, who didn't know what had happened.
However, a Shenxuan Sect Elder quickly came forward to explain. Once everyone knew that the Demon-Slaying Sword Immortal had acted, they no longer felt any panic; instead, they felt a sense of relief.
Cang Shi's heart trembled violently. He clearly sensed the instant annihilation of all his companions' auras.
A chill shot straight to his heart. He felt no hatred, only lingering fear.
Fortunately, he had confessed honestly.
This powerful expert's methods were simply unfathomable!
He complained in his heart that he was too unlucky and too careless.
If he could do it again, he would absolutely not act so rashly.
He would definitely, definitely stay far away from this cursed place!
"Speaking of which, the Demon Race only sent a few of you. Are you here to die?"
Li Taiqing couldn't help but say.
"We are just the vanguard... because this spatial aisle cannot accommodate powerful Demon Race members. We were ordered by the Dark Emperor to investigate intelligence on Human Race powerhouses."
Cang Shi explained.
"No wonder they're so weak."
Li Taiqing muttered.
Cang Shi immediately felt immense humiliation, but he had indeed been defeated by the other party, so he could only remain silent.
Moreover, he was now a prisoner. To save his life, he naturally dared not show any temper.
Han Xuanji asked expressionlessly, "You mean there are other spatial aisles?"
"That's right, the Grand Elder has already predicted that spatial aisles will reappear between the two Realms, and these will be spatial aisles capable of accommodating Advanced True Demons."
Cang Shi said honestly:
"But I truly don't know the specific location."
"Advanced True Demons?"
Everyone only knew that True Demons were existences comparable to Ascended Immortals.
"Advanced True Demons are existences above Ascended Immortals."
Han Xuanji explained indifferently.
"Ah?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's hearts were instantly shocked.
The Ascension Realm was already the top powerhouse in the Spirit Realm, so wouldn't these Advanced True Demons be invincible?
"However, in the Taixu Spirit Realm, they should be suppressed by the heavens and earth, and can only exert the power of the Ascension Realm. But after all, they are Earth Immortal-level existences, and their Physical Bodies and Divine Souls are far stronger than ordinary Ascension Realm Cultivators. Normal Ascension Cultivators should find it very difficult to contend with them."
Han Xuanji said calmly.
This was also why the Primordial Demonic Abyss needed to be guarded at all times, because these Primordial Demonic Abyss were such Advanced spatial aisles, capable of allowing such terrifying Demon Race members to enter. Once they descended, it could be said that no one could stop them.
Of course, at such times, a "Person of Tribulation" would often appear.
The Immortal Rank powerhouses of the Upper Realm would not sit idly by while the Lower Realm was invaded by the Demon Realm.
"Ah? Then what should we do?"
"Master, you must have a way, right?"
Li Taiqing looked at Han Xuanji. He found that his Master's emotions had always been very stable, unlike their shouting and screaming. He figured that his Master was not afraid of these Demon Race powerhouses.
"Hard to say, we'll see. If we really can't defeat them, I'll take you all and run."
Han Xuanji said indifferently.
After all, they were powerhouses whose Realm was even higher than his, so he didn't have 100% certainty.
Just 99%... And maybe he wouldn't even need to act?
"Work hard on your Cultivation. That way, perhaps when a crisis arises, you can resolve it yourselves."
After Han Xuanji dropped this sentence, he took a step and his figure disappeared.
He also took Cang Shi with him.
After Han Xuanji left, Li Taiqing, Lu Fan, and others remained, falling into silence.
Lu Fan chuckled playfully:
"I feel that Elder Han isn't flustered at all."
"Hmph, my Master is naturally the number one in the world."
Li Taiqing said, looking up.
"Let's go, to Cultivate."
"Mm."
Although the few of them felt that Han Xuanji could handle things, they also realized that time waited for no one. They still needed to become stronger to protect everything they wanted to protect.
They didn't want to always be protected by others.
Of course, they hadn't slackened in their Cultivation over the years either.
Lu Fan and Lin Potian had both successively entered the Returning to Void Realm, while Li Taiqing and Nangong Wenjian were both in the Body Integration Realm... Along the way, they were all discussing how strong Han Xuanji truly was.
In their eyes, the so-called Dark Emperor was nothing more than a clown before Han Xuanji... Han Xuanji first had Cang Shi lead him to the Demon Race's spatial aisle.
Soon, the two arrived in a deep mountain.
"Sir, it's here."
Cang Shi had already decided to betray, so he naturally wouldn't deceive Han Xuanji.
Han Xuanji looked at the spatial aisle before him, which was actually a cave. However, passing through this cave would lead to the Dark Demon Realm.
He had no curiosity and directly sealed this space. If any Demon Race beings were to step into the aisle, they would inevitably get lost in the spatial turbulence.
Then, Han Xuanji quietly looked at Cang Shi and said:
"I'll give you two choices."
"Please speak, Sir."
Cang Shi was respectful, his heart filled with joy.
He felt that his life should be saved.
"One, I send you into Reincarnation."
"..."
Cang Shi trembled all over.
"Two, I spare your life, but you need to obey my arrangements for ten thousand years."
Han Xuanji said indifferently, his face expressionless.
"I choose two. I am willing to serve you as my Master, to be at your command for ten thousand years! I will never have second thoughts!"
Cang Shi didn't hesitate and spoke decisively.
Sent into Reincarnation?
Wouldn't that be killing him?
He had Cultivated to this day, not knowing how much effort he had put in or how many hardships he had endured. How could he be willing to enter Reincarnation just like that? What if he was reborn as a pig, dog, or beast in his next life?
Han Xuanji nodded slightly, having anticipated this. He pointed two fingers like a sword towards the other party:
"I hope you don't disappoint me."
As his voice fell, Cang Shi felt an irresistible force descend, instantly losing all ability to resist.
Deep within his Soul, there seemed to be nine invisible chains, sealing off any possibility of his betrayal, preventing even the thought of betrayal from arising.
He could clearly feel that as long as he harbored even a trace of malice towards Han Xuanji, these nine Restrictions would instantly erupt, making his life worse than death.
"This is the 'Nine Nether Soul Lock Seal'. After ten thousand years, you will be free, but if you do evil, the Restriction within you will still erupt."
Han Xuanji said indifferently.
This Restriction was also a secret art he had obtained by signing in at the Devouring Heaven Demonic Sect.
Unless a great power from the Upper Realm acted, even an Earth Immortal-level powerhouse would be unable to break it.
Cang Shi's Divine Soul trembled violently, and he quickly prostrated himself, saying, "This subordinate understands! I would never dare to disobey your command, Sir!"
Han Xuanji nodded. After thinking for a moment, he created a Physical Body for him.
This was a Physical Body with the appearance of a young man.
"This body will be your Physical Body from now on."
Han Xuanji said.
Cang Shi dared not be negligent. His remnant Soul transformed into a stream of light and instantly merged into the young man's glabella.
He subconsciously clenched his fist. This body didn't make him feel uncomfortable; it was as if it had been tailor-made for him.
Although this body had no Cultivation, its talent was excellent, its Meridians were clear, and its bone structure was extraordinary.
With his past experience, it wouldn't be difficult for him to return to his Peak.
"Thank you, Sir, for the grace of recreation!"
Cang Shi knelt on the ground excitedly, his voice tinged with a sob.
He was alive!
