*Boom*
A massive explosion occurred some distance away in Yan Wansheng’s city, followed by Qian Yan’s scream of agony. "Argh!"
"Heh!" Huo Ling snorted, making a gesture with one hand. In an instant, four layers of flames shot out from the ground and enclosed Qian Yan within.
Qian Yan tried to escape into the sky, but Huo Ling wouldn’t give her the chance. As soon as she made a move, waves of flames shot from the sky and rained down on the area below.
"Shit!"
Qian Yan transformed into his beast form, but his current form was not as big as the one Zhang Fei encountered in the soul challenge, which was the size of a gigantic mountain.
"Roar!"
.
.
.
Qian Yan’s roar could be heard from almost throughout the domain, which attracted the attention of all demon gods.
Since Zhang Fei had warned him about Qian Yan, Mo Qingwen had also warned all the demon gods on her side, and they chose not to move according to his orders.
Mo Qingwen was actually curious about Qian Yan and wanted to try fighting him. However, he trusted Zhang Fei more because Feng Yao and Huo Ling were by his side.
Gui Ye, Chang Moyu, and Zuo Hentian hurried over to check the situation.
Another group, including Hou Wuyan and several other demon gods, was also interested in checking out the situation.

Meanwhile, Zhang Fei [5], along with three female gods, watched Huo Ling’s fight from a distance far enough to avoid Qian Yan’s detection.
Zhang Fei [5] sent his Demon’s Eye Orb to the battle location so they could watch the battle between Huo Ling and Qian Yan more clearly.
"That demon beast god is truly terrifying." Tang Zhiyao said with a trembling voice. "I’ve never been afraid of anyone, including Mo Qingwen. However, Qian Yan gave me a bad feeling, so I immediately fled the city."
"Qian Yan should have already locked onto your aura, but he couldn’t track your real body because you hid it in your dream space." Zhang Fei [5] only realized this after he observed the demon beast god’s expression when he searched for Tang Zhiyao’s whereabouts. He has the Dream Lordship ability, but his ability is different from hers, and he can only use it if he has touched his opponent’s body beforehand. "Your dream ability is much more useful than mine, since you can use it from a distance, and you can also hide your real body in your dream space."
"Before I escaped, I already used my dream technique on that demon beast god. However, I hesitated to use it because of the ability of his eyes, and I was afraid that he could break free from there." Tang Zhiyao looked at him. "You can also hide your real body in your dream space, right?"
"I do." Zhang Fei [5] nodded. "It’s just that I don’t dare approach him, or he’ll lock onto my aura, and he’ll know all my secret places."
Tang Zhiyao herself felt fear towards Qian Yan, so she was not surprised to see Zhang Fei [5] being cautious of the demon beast god.
"Do you think my poison will have any effect on him?" Gongsun Zhilan asked him.
Zhang Fei [5] shook his head. "I don’t have detailed information about Qian Yan’s abilities, but Feng Yao told me that his eyes have various abilities. According to her, the person who has the ability to counteract his eyes’ abilities is Jiu Tou Sen."
"Jiu Tou Sen is a beast god like him, and he is the strongest beast in this Ancient Realm. If I’m not mistaken, his true form is the Nine-Headed Serpent Beast." Hua Qianmei added.
"You are right, Jiu Tou Sen is the Nine-Headed Serpent Beast, and he is semi-immortal."
"What? Jiu Tou Sen is a semi-immortal?" The three female demon gods screamed in shock.
Zhang Fei [5] smiled wryly at their frantic expressions. "Jiu Tou Sen isn’t a true immortal, but he’s incredibly difficult to kill because one of his heads has the ability to regenerate. Every time he is injured, the injury will heal itself, even if you cut off one of his heads."
"Even if we cut off his head with the ability to regenerate?"
"That’s right." Zhang Fei [5] nodded. "If we want to kill Jiu Tou Sen, we must decapitate all nine of its heads and destroy its beast core. However, killing it isn’t as easy as turning over our hands because each head has a different ability; otherwise, he wouldn’t be crowned the strongest cultivator in this Ancient Realm, right?"
The three female demon gods nodded in agreement. "Even the Nightmare Lord and Mo Qingwen don’t dare to face Jiu Tou Sen because he once defeated both of them."
"I’m curious about the Nightmare Lord, Meng Zhou." Then, Zhang Fei [5] asked Tang Zhiyao. "Have you fought him before? I heard he has a dream ability like us, and he slaughtered Yuan Xiajie’s entire family through dreams."
Tang Zhiyao sighed. "Meng Zhuo’s dream ability is different from ours, Zhang Fei. In fact, he was the one who injured me, and my injuries were quite severe, although not life-threatening."
"Huh?" Zhang Fei, Hua Qianmei, and Gongsun Zhilan were shocked by Tang Zhiyao’s confession. "What exactly happened between you two? Why did he injure you?"
Tang Zhiyao glanced sideways. "What do you think a man wants most from a woman?
"Hahaha!" Hua Qianmei laughed. "I didn’t expect your beauty to attract Meng Zhuo!"
"Did Meng Zhuo hurt you because you rejected his love?" Gongsun Zhilan asked, but her tone was slightly mocking.
Tang Zhiyao gritted her teeth. "We’ll talk about that later! By the way, what will your wife do to Qian Yan?"
"What else?" Zhang Fei [5] shrugged. "I forbade Huo Ling from killing Qian Yan, but I can’t forbid her from injuring him. Besides, he plans to attack the Dragon-Soaring Divine Domain at the request of Xu Yuanzhi and Huang Yuanzhi, and his injuries will buy me more time to prepare myself."
.

Qian Yan stared at Huo Ling furiously; even all the eyes on his body were open.
Huo Ling picked her nose while staring at him in disgust. "In my life, I’ve seen many disgusting beasts, but your disgusting appearance is on a godly level."
Qian Yan didn’t take Huo Ling’s provocation to heart and focused on the flames raining down on him from the sky. Some of his eyes turned pitch-black, and darkness shot out towards those flames.
"Haish." Huo Ling revealed a disappointed expression. "You already used that technique when my master beat you in the past, and you know it’s useless, yet you foolishly used it again."
Ten thousand small fire arrows appeared above Huo Ling as she raised her hand up, which caused Qian Yan to panic and bee agitated.
"Hehe." Huo Ling chuckled. "You seem to still remember my technique, huh?"
’Damn it!’ Qian Yan cursed inwardly, but then Huo Ling launched those arrows at him, targeting his ten thousand eyes, especially his middle eye. After considering the risks, he closed all his eyes; otherwise, he would suffer grave injuries.
Qian Yan also activated all his defenses to protect himself, but Huo Ling’s flames were not ordinary flames; they were primordial flames, rendering all his defenses useless.
In a split second, Huo Ling’s flames shattered Qian Yan’s defenses and struck his body. The flames instantly spread throughout his body, and his pain-filled roar echoed in the domain.
All demons within the radius of their battle area were forced to seal their senses of hearing, as Qian Yan’s roar deafened their ears and caused their heads to grow heavy.
"Hmm?" Huo Ling looked at the gate that opened behind Qian Yan, so she wasted no time and blasted him into it. After that, she removed her flames before looking at Zhang Fei [5] with a pout. "Why are you in such a rush to send him back to the Paradise Realm, husband?"
Zhang Fei [5] smiled bitterly. "If I didn’t do that, Qian Yan would definitely die at your hands, and I would lose a formidable opponent. By the way, how serious is his injury? How long will it take him to recover?"
"Since you forbade me from killing him and needed him to be your opponent, I only used five percent of my strength when I attacked him just now." Gongsun Zhilan, Hua Qianmei, and Tang Zhiyao were dumbfounded after Huo Ling said this. "According to my estimation, his injuries won’t recover for ten years, but my estimation might be wrong if the two primordial beasts are helping him recover."
"Ten years, huh?" Zhang Fei [5] nodded in understanding. "I think that’s enough to buy time, and I’ll be ready to fight him then."
Huo Ling’s eyes lit up. "Does that mean you will be in seclusion again?"
"After I get those demon materials and defeat Mo Shentian, I will take them all into seclusion again, and we won’t e out for the next ten years." Huo Ling immediately hugged Zhang Fei [5], and her eyes showed impatience. "Are you this happy that we are going into seclusion?"
"That’s for sure!" Huo Ling replied with excitement. "It’s been almost a year since we came out of our seclusion, and you’ve been busy with so many things during this time. I didn’t say anything to you before, but I’m disappointed with your decision. I want you to reach the Celestial God Realm as soon as possible, and I’ll take you to the Primordial Realm afterward so you can break through to the God King Realm."
"Where did you send Qian Yan, Zhang Fei?"
"The Jiangshen Domain."
"One of the domains in the Paradise Realm?"
Zhang Fei [5] nodded. "Another name for the Jiangshen Domain is the Ghost Domain, and the Ghost Emperor reigns there."
