The heavy rain poured.

The wind howled.

Outside the enormous city.

Jiao Yuan looked aggrieved, reluctantly following behind Jiang Shi. His pair of golden yellow eyes occasionally glanced at Ao Tian on one side, filled with bloodshot fury, wishing to tear Ao Tian apart alive.

But under Jiang Shi’s coercion and temptation, he had no choice but to follow Jiang Shi.

The abundant rain fell, flooding the roads into a muddy mess.

"Jiang...my lord, where are we going next? I still know the whereabouts of all the experts. I can take you to visit them one by one."

Ao Tian’s eyes flickered, and he couldn’t help but speak.

"No need."

Jiang Shi’s voice was calm, "I already know my rough strength, and I have lost interest in other experts.

As long as they don’t provoke me, I’m too lazy to deal with them. Moreover, if I keep taking action, it might easily attract unnecessary attention. If the Ancient Saints among your Alien Race find out, it would be greatly disadvantageous for me."

Ao Tian furrowed his brows slightly and immediately fell silent.

Not being able to see more people in trouble was an extremely regrettable thing for him.

"Ao Tian, Jiao Yuan, I have no time to return to the Celestial Demon Headquarters for now. You two go back first and guard the Celestial Demon Headquarters well during this period until I return."

Jiang Shi suddenly said.

"You’re not returning to the Celestial Demon Headquarters?"

Ao Tian’s eyes flashed as he looked up to inquire.

Jiao Yuan also frowned, looking at Jiang Shi.

"Yes, I have other important matters and need to go out for a while."

Jiang Shi turned around, gazing at Ao Tian and Jiao Yuan with a calm demeanor, "Your task is only one, which is to take good care of the Celestial Demon Headquarters. Given your strength, it should be more than enough. Is that clear?"

"I... will try my best!"

Ao Tian’s heart flickered as he responded.

"Not try your best, you must!"

Jiang Shi replied.

"Okay, I must!"

Ao Tian nodded.

"Hmm, Jiao Yuan, did you hear that?"

Jiang Shi focused his gaze on Jiao Yuan.

Jiao Yuan’s face turned ugly as he slowly nodded, "I heard."

"Good, you two should return to the Celestial Demon Headquarters now. Remember, do not fight among yourselves. Whoever initiates trouble first will be executed personally by me!"

Jiang Shi’s tone was cold.

The two felt a weight in their hearts, nodded silently.

Jiang Shi didn’t say more, taking a step forward with his aura hazy, his body like a cloud of smoke, began to slowly disappear from this place.

As soon as he left, Jiao Yuan’s face became unprecedentedly gloomy, clenching his fists, his eyes like sword gang as they scanned Ao Tian.

Ao Tian just smiled slightly, unfazed, and directly walked away.

It seemed he had resigned himself to fate at this moment.

"Damn thing, an utter disgrace!"

Jiao Yuan’s voice was sinister, gritting his teeth.

"Curse as much as you want, I don’t care anyway."

Ao Tian responded carefreely.

Jiao Yuan’s eyes burned with greater fury, grinding his teeth, eager to pounce and kill.

...

The outside world was in an uproar.

The death of Venerable Fire Demon at the Celestial Demon Headquarters quickly spread, causing a sensation everywhere, shocking many from the Alien Race.

Not long ago, to find out if Jiang Shi was dead, more than one Alien Race expert secretly spied on the Celestial Demon Headquarters. Many Alien Race experts even spoke rudely, claiming Jiang Shi was dead and didn’t take him seriously; among them, Venerable Fire Demon was the most severe.

But they didn’t expect Venerable Fire Demon to die so quickly!

And outside the Celestial Demon Headquarters, killed by Jiang Shi alive.

This news undoubtedly indicated that Jiang Shi is absolutely fine now.

Not only is he fine, but he is also alive and well.

This situation once again sparked widespread disbelief, leaving countless perplexed.

Given Ao Tian Dharma King’s character, having challenged Jiang Shi, how could he let Jiang Shi live so well? Even if Jiang Shi feared the battle, Ao Tian Dharma King should have stormed into the Celestial Demon Headquarters?

But now Jiang Shi was safe and sound in the Celestial Demon Headquarters, which didn’t match Ao Tian Dharma King’s character at all.

Doubt flourished quickly among everyone.

But soon.

Another message spread, causing another uproar.

Anyone had seen Jiang Shi and Ao Tian Dharma King leaving the Celestial Demon Headquarters together, with Ao Tian Dharma King trailing behind Jiang Shi like an attendant...

This news was undoubtedly shocking.

Not to mention that the people didn’t believe it, even the Blood War Alliance didn’t believe it.

Just as the Blood War Alliance coldly announced that everything was a rumor, Ao Tian Dharma King suddenly spoke personally.

He claimed to have already reconciled with Jiang Shi Great Success.

From now on, the two will become friends.

All past grievances were misunderstandings, and now the misunderstanding has cleared, no need to fight again.

This message instantly left every faction dumbfounded, as countless discussions and doubts quickly spread...

...

Half a month later.

Distant Arctic.

Bitter cold, numerous icebergs stood tall, glistening and exuding intense cold air, like jade pillars rising to the sky.

Snowflakes fell, covering the world in silver white.

Jiang Shi’s body silently descended onto a massive glacier, furrowing his brows, observing all around.

In the distance, there were the usual many experts sitting serenely, not meddling in the world, focused solely on pursuing the supreme realm of Martial Arts.

The difference this time.

Last time, all those sitting here were humans.

But this time, there were quite a few figures from the Alien Race as well, sitting motionlessly on the snowy mountain, diligently cultivating.
