However, Chu Xisheng’s escape skill was also exceptional, and he possessed a body as formidable as a First Grade Martial Cultivator.

He actually followed the two into the Void, relentlessly pursuing them with his Sword Intent locked onto them.

Fortunately, the power of Magic traverses the Void and is ultimately more convenient than Martial Cultivation, and Chu Xisheng had not yet mastered the proper Void Skill.

Wan Qi Luohou’s mana flared more and more intensely, gradually leaving Chu Xisheng behind.

When Chu Ming could no longer sense Chu Xisheng’s Sword Intent, her heart slightly relaxed.

They eventually survived due to Chu Xisheng’s carelessness.

But in the next moment, Chu Xisheng’s voice echoed distantly to her ears: "Interesting, you managed to escape today. But Chu Ming, where can you run? Wang’an City? That Dog Emperor can’t protect you. Though the world is vast, there’s no place for you to hide.

Your mother and brother are dead, and now it’s your turn. Cherish your last moments, for within three months at most, I will find you and take your life!"

Chu Ming’s heart sank instantly; it felt like her Five Internal Organs and Six Hollow Organs had turned into ice.

She knew there was no falsehood in Chu Xisheng’s words.

Chu Xisheng’s martial arts had reached such a level that he feared not group attacks and cared not about the consumption of True Yuan.

If this bastard sincerely wanted to kill her, even Daning City might not keep her safe.

Moments later, Chu Xisheng emerged from the Void, returning to the Void Wall.

He stood atop a mountain, looking with a faint smile at the direction where Wan Qi Luohou and Chu Ming had fled.

Soon after, a Golden Light flashed from the horizon, landing beside Chu Xisheng.

It was Lu Luanti, who piloted the Bathing Sun Divine Ship, hovering in mid-air.

"I see you’ve handled things on your side as well?"

Lu Luanti took a measure of Chu Xisheng, glanced south, then shook her head: "I really don’t understand. Why not just kill her outright? Why go through such trouble?"

Chu Xisheng chuckled at her words: "This is my Secret Rite of Vengeance, a Vengeful Blade—those who insult me, betray me, harm me, all shall suffer tenfold in return!"

The original owner of this body had been too narrow-minded, harboring a grudge in his heart for being buried alive back then.

When Chu Xisheng initially broke out of the grave, he often dreamt of the moment he was placed into the coffin, waking up each time in terror.

He still vividly remembers the hatred and wrath he felt in those dreams, unable to let go.

"Besides—"

Chu Xisheng’s voice paused, a slight smile on his lips: "I’m quite intrigued by a First Grade Upper Stage evil corpse with the potential for ascension, and that wields the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade."

"An evil corpse?"

Lu Luanti was taken aback, her eyes wide with shock: "You’re suggesting the Dog Emperor might refine Chu Ming into a malevolent corpse? That’s unlikely, isn’t it? Chu Ming is his niece after all."

"How else could he circumvent the Divine Sect’s forbidden technique to wield the Divine Intent Touch Death Blade?"

Chu Xisheng remained indifferent: "He has slaughtered his own brothers, even capable of killing his Empress and Crown Prince, let alone a niece. I suspect that Dog Emperor has already prepared a grave and coffin for Chu Ming, so she may die in the most painful, unwilling way."

"Would Emperor Jianyuan bury her alive?"

Lu Luanti pondered briefly, suspecting it was highly possible; her eyes flickered: "When exactly will it be? Xisheng, can you control Chu Ming after she transforms? How confident are you?"

Lu Luanti couldn’t help but feel a surge of anticipation.

It’s no wonder Chu Xisheng had ignored Chu Ming for the past few months, seemingly allowing her to escape this time.

Is this his Secret Rite of Vengeance?

Truly, a Vengeful Blade.

"It depends on how deeply Emperor Jianyuan and Chu Ming fear me. The more pressure they feel, the sooner I’ll have my wish."

Chu Xisheng flashed onto the Bathing Sun Divine Ship: "As for controlling Chu Ming, a complete certainty! I won’t let Emperor Jianyuan have his way. By the way, congratulations, Luanyi, on your promotion to Third Grade today!"

Lu Luanti had evidently consumed a Third Grade Secret Medicine, causing her Qi Blood True Essence to spill over significantly.

Yet Lu Luanti merely snorted softly.

Her promotion to Third Grade had been later than Bai Xiaozhao and Little Flat Head, what’s there to congratulate?

"Where do you plan to go next?" Lu Luanti glanced sideways at Chu Xisheng: "You want to go to the Returning Ruins?"

She guessed Chu Xisheng intended to elevate Little Flat Head to the Vengeance True Spirit Position.

And in the Returning Ruins, there stood a ’Vengeance’ statue carved by Pangu in the past.

If they could find this statue, not only would Little Flat Head benefit greatly, but Chu Xisheng could also gain something.

Lu Luanti also wanted to visit the Returning Ruins.

Having completed her cultivation promotion, she now had the patience to accompany Chu Xisheng on his ventures.

"The Returning Ruins is definitely a destination."

Chu Xisheng smiled slightly: "But before that, we must make a trip near Wang’an City to retrieve some things left behind by the Martial Fierce Heavenly King."

Lu Luanti looked puzzled: "You’re planning to seize the Lie King’s Treasure?"

Suddenly, she felt her mood sour.

Lu Luanti knew Chu Xisheng had already acquired the location and Secret Key to Martial Fierce Heavenly King’s treasure.

However, the key to accessing the treasure was in Chu Yunyun’s hands.

"There’s no such thing as the Lie King’s Treasure."

Chu Xisheng shook his head: "There’s only an unbeaten solitary army. You’ll be shocked when you see it. Martial Fierce Heavenly King’s hatred and determination against the Giant Spirit surpasses your imagination."

Originally, he hadn’t intended to enter the place so soon.

However, plans fail to keep pace with changes, and Chu Xisheng was forced to retrieve an item from inside.
