Jian Wushuang returned to the surface without alerting anyone.
He simply reminded Immortal Jiu Chen and Xue Yang, who were watching the abyss, and led them away from its edge.
The corridor was wide.
They entered the main city of the ninety-ninth floor corridor and temporarily settled there, waiting for the person they were tracking to appear.
The man from the ancient gate was soone all three of them had t before.
It was none other than Emperor Duobao, the one who had hosted the auction.
He was also a disciple of Emperor Yue Ying.
Yet, he had unclear ties with the Holy Land.
Of course, he didn't have any direct affiliation with the Holy Land.
The reason he ca here was to et soone.
Lingxiao Boy.
After betraying his faction, Lingxiao Boy entered the Holy Land.
A few days later, under the guise of visiting the abyss, he t Emperor Duobao at the ninety-ninth-floor corridor of the abyss world.
Jian Wushuang observed all of this.
However, he had no idea what they discussed.
When they t, the two of them entered the ancient gate.
Jian Wushuang could sense the auras within the gate but couldn't discern what they were saying.
It was clear that they had shielded the ti and space around them.
Such an ability to block ti and space wasn't sothing the ancient gate could achieve on its own. There was likely another treasure inside that Jian Wushuang wasn't aware of.
Based on Lingxiao Boy's respectful attitude during their eting, it was evident that Emperor Duobao held a higher status.
He also possessed the most treasures.
To avoid startling the enemy, Jian Wushuang didn't act imdiately.
Instead, after the eting, he secretly followed Lingxiao Boy back to his residence.
Late at night.
Inside the grand hall where Lingxiao Boy resided, the atmosphere was dark and dense with power.
Tap!
Jian Wushuang made no attempt to conceal himself as he walked directly toward Lingxiao Boy.
Lingxiao Boy imdiately noticed and quickly stood up.
"Who are you?"
"Who I am doesn't matter. Who you are is what's important to !"
With that, Jian Wushuang raised his hand and suppressed the space around them.
Not only did he block Lingxiao Boy's escape route, but he also sealed off all thods of communication using Thought power.
In other words, there was no way for Lingxiao Boy to call for help—not even Emperor Duobao would be alerted.
"What do you want? I'm warning you, you better not act recklessly, or you'll surely die! No one will be able to save you!" Lingxiao Boy backed away, trying to contact Emperor Duobao.
But he quickly realized his voice couldn't reach outside.
With no other choice, he gave up and looked at Jian Wushuang. Taking a deep breath, he threatened, "Do you know who I am? Do you know what kind of power stands behind ? If you dare touch , you'll die a horrible death!"
"I might not touch you if you can show a power capable of threatening my life."
Jian Wushuang stood still, waiting for Lingxiao Boy to invoke the power behind him.
If he presented a strong enough backing, perhaps Jian Wushuang would spare him.
But if he didn't... well, Jian Wushuang wouldn't hesitate to deal with him.
He didn't mind taking Lingxiao Boy's head to confront Emperor Duobao.
Even if Lingxiao Boy had so backup plan, Jian Wushuang had prepared five golden-armored puppets, capable of forcibly taking him down.
The only concern was whether Lingxiao Boy had a final asure, like self-destruction, preventing him from being captured alive.
Since the stakes were high, Jian Wushuang couldn't afford to be careless.
"Go ahead, start your performance," Jian Wushuang said, controlling Lingxiao Boy with ease.
If Lingxiao Boy dared to have any devious thoughts, Jian Wushuang could kill his soul instantly.
Such was the unique power of the soul secret technique.
It allowed him to kill without a trace.
If not for the treasure guarding Lingxiao Boy's soul and the fact that he was under the protection of an Emperor, Jian Wushuang could have used a soul search technique, transford into Lingxiao Boy's likeness, infiltrated the Holy Land, and connected with Emperor Duobao.
That would have been the perfect plan.
"Just kill !"
Suddenly, Lingxiao Boy's expression shifted, seeking death.
This abrupt resolve took Jian Wushuang by surprise.
"What's this? Are you so willing to die for the Divine Eye Clan?"
"Heh, you have no idea what true terror is," Lingxiao Boy sneered coldly.
Jian Wushuang frowned, but this didn't pose much of a challenge to him.
Since Lingxiao Boy wanted to die, Jian Wushuang would grant his wish.
"Soul retraction!"
Buzz!
Ling Xiao's soul suddenly shot out from his divine body, transforming into a small ball, and began to shrink continuously.
During the process of shrinking, Ling Xiao also entered an illusion.
Before his eyes, Jian Wushuang disappeared, only to be replaced by Emperor Duobao.
"Brother Duobao, save !" Ling Xiao, as if sleepwalking, began to plead for help from Jian Wushuang.
Jian Wushuang raised his hand and said, "I have already saved your soul…"
He had exploited the weakness in Ling Xiao's heart and cast an illusion.
Ling Xiao obediently fell into the trap Jian Wushuang had laid.
Through this, Jian Wushuang delved into Ling Xiao's consciousness and uncovered the so-called secret.
Emperor Duobao.
He had long been possessed.
This secret was indeed surprising.
As for the one who possessed him, Ling Xiao wasn't entirely sure, but a new term appeared in Jian Wushuang's mind.
The Void!
Emperor Duobao ca from the Void.
He was a monster from the crevices of the Void.
Jian Wushuang frantically searched his mory, trying to recall anything about the Void.
In this world, he had never heard of it.
But in the Realm God Continent, there had been an old rumor.
When the Realm God Continent shattered, so powerful beings were trapped in fragnts of it.
These fragnts eventually evolved into layers of the Void, becoming part of the Void itself.
Over ti, these people could not escape the shattered fragnts and gradually fell into ruin, becoming fused with the Void.
If that were all, the outside world would not have known that the Void housed a large group of mutated cultivators.
However, after the Realm God Continent was rebuilt, those fallen beings from the Void resurfaced.
They brought quite a bit of trouble to the newly established Realm God Continent.
But it was only minor trouble, as how many strong beings could the crevices of the Void truly contain?
No matter how weak the Realm God Continent beca, it still had the Nine-Star Universe Gods. Dealing with those fallen Void cultivators was not a difficult task.
If the Realm God Continent had Void cultivators, then this world likely did as well.
After all, both were fragnts of the shattered Realm God Continent.
In fact, this world could be said to exist within a crevice of the Void itself.
So the existence of the Void was not surprising!
It was just that this was the first ti he had heard of it since entering this world.
It also differed sowhat from his expectations.
He had initially thought it was related to the Divine Eye Clan.
He hadn't expected the Void to be involved.
Compared to the Divine Eye Clan, the Void had an even more tragic fate.
Back then, they had clearly been victims, but after being absorbed into the fragnts and assimilated by the Void, even if they later managed to break into the Realm God Continent, they were regarded as monsters.
This was because these Void cultivators had already been tainted with the aura of the Realm Beasts.
They devoured cultivators.
They had beco true demons.
Not much different from demonic creatures.
In the end, all the Void cultivators that appeared on the Realm God Continent were slain.
The only difference between them and demonic creatures was that they retained their original mories, but they could no longer control their urge to devour.
