"Oh, Emperor Demon, you died such a horrible death!" Wu Liang suddenly knelt down with a thud, wailing as if his father had died, holding a clump of what looked like internal organs or minced meat.
Zu An couldn't help but say, "Uh, there's no one else here. You don't need to show loyalty. Tone it down a bit."
"Where's Crown Prince Golden Crow?" Wu Liang didn't get up; instead, he looked around.
"The Demon Emperor sent him away from this unknown land first," Zu An replied.
"Oh." Wu Liang instantly scrambled to his feet, his tear stains already gone. He casually tossed away the minced meat in his hand. "Is the Demon Emperor really dead?"
Zu An was somewhat speechless. "Do you think he could still be alive in this state?"
Wu Liang: "..."
He sidled closer with a fawning expression. "Brother, how did the Demon Emperor die? And such a terrible death?"
The others' hearts sank. They had just been discussing this very question and hadn't reached an agreement yet.
At that moment, Yun Jianyue pointed to the sky. "Heavenly retribution suddenly descended just now, and that's what happened to the Demon Emperor."
"Heavenly retribution?" Wu Liang's eyes nearly popped out.
Yun Jianyue sneered, "What else could it be? Do you think we killed him?"
Wu Liang rubbed his hands and chuckled, "You must be joking, Cult Master."
Given the Demon Emperor's cultivation, even if they had ten more people, they would only be severely beaten. There was no way he would have died such a terrible death at their hands.
Yan Xuehen and the others had strange expressions, but they inwardly breathed a sigh of relief. They had indeed been too focused on their own perspective. Given the vast power disparity between them and the Demon Emperor, no one would believe them even if they told the truth that Zu An had killed him.
"Was that terrifying explosion just now heavenly retribution?" Wu Liang looked towards the direction of the explosion with lingering fear. In all his years of cultivation, he had never witnessed such destructive power.
"Yes, at the time, we saw several meteors suddenly descend from the horizon, and then a massive mushroom cloud rose up," Zu An said, lying through his teeth.
"No wonder it was so powerful; it was heavenly retribution after all." Wu Liang swallowed hard. He had previously witnessed higher-level powers with the Demon Emperor and his son. The Sun-shooting Bow on Crown Prince Golden Crow had been taken away by an inexplicable force, and even the Demon Emperor couldn't stop it.
If such a power brought down heavenly retribution, it would indeed possess such immense might.
"Oh, right, I think I saw two such terrifying explosions just now. The second one was even more powerful than the first. Did heaven send down two rounds of retribution?" Wu Liang suddenly remembered something and asked.
"Yes, that's right. During the first heavenly retribution, the Demon Emperor successfully fended it off and escaped, which is why it triggered the second round," Zu An said without batting an eyelid. The three women found it strange but understood the gravity of the situation and showed no hint of amusement.
Wu Liang exclaimed, "As expected of the Demon Emperor, truly unparalleled in skill! He even managed to withstand one heavenly retribution."
"Yes, yes," Zu An echoed, "The Demon Emperor was already invincible in this world, but unfortunately, he encountered visitors from above."
Wu Liang's expression was peculiar. "This world... from above... can it be explained like that?"
"By the way, why did the Demon Emperor incur heavenly retribution?" This was the most puzzling question for him.
"How should I know? Maybe he was too arrogant, or perhaps his ugliness made heaven despise him," Zu An said casually.
Wu Liang: "..."
Listen to that, is that how a normal person talks?
Yan Xuehen also knew that such an explanation was too absurd. She quickly interjected, "It's likely because the Demon Emperor coveted the elixir of immortality, which the will of heaven and earth could not tolerate."
Upon hearing this, Wu Liang immediately understood and couldn't help but sigh, "Following the Demon Emperor all this way, I learned quite a bit about the elixir of immortality. It seems such an elixir really exists in this world, but unfortunately, it's not meant for us."
"Aren't you going to look for it?" Zu An was somewhat surprised. Wu Liang was usually greedy for wealth, yet he seemed indifferent to this.
"Even the Demon Emperor was utterly destroyed. Why would I go and court death?" Wu Liang's cheeks flushed. In truth, after narrowly escaping from Gonggong's grasp earlier, he had indeed searched for the elixir of immortality, but unfortunately, found nothing.
Fortunately, he later found some other good items, so this trip wasn't entirely in vain. Of course, he couldn't tell Zu An any of this. They had more people, and if they harbored ill intentions, the Fatty would be in trouble.
Just then, Yun Jianyue suddenly exclaimed, "Oh no, the exit passage is probably about to close!"
It was unclear if it was due to the immense power of the previous nuclear explosions, but the spatial elements throughout the entire world had become quite unstable. The spatial vortex in the distant sky was also beginning to show signs of collapse.
The group's hearts tightened. If the exit closed, they would be trapped in this world permanently.
Although the spiritual energy here was more abundant, they all had too many ties in the outside world and didn't wish to be trapped here.
Moreover, if they truly remained here, no one could guarantee whether this world would be destroyed once the passage closed.
With a whoosh, Wu Liang was already rushing towards the distant spatial vortex.
Unexpectedly, his chubby body was so agile. What was even more surprising was that a pair of small wings had appeared on his back.
His corpulent body and the tiny wings looked completely mismatched, and it was a mystery how he managed to fly.
"It's a magical artifact. This fat old man really has a lot of good stuff," Yun Jianyue remarked.
Zu An didn't have the energy to transform the Golden Chariot again at this point. Instead, he summoned his Wind and Fire Wheels, embraced the three women, and hastily followed.
The Wind and Fire Wheels were faster, and even while carrying the three women, they quickly caught up to Wu Liang.
Wu Liang frantically flapped the small wings on his back, beads of sweat rolling down his chubby cheeks. Hearing the movement behind him, he turned his head just in time to see Zu An and his companions.
His eyes almost popped out of their sockets.
What was he seeing? Zu An had the Human Race's foremost beauty on his back, the Cult Master of the Demonic Sect in his left arm, and the White Jade Capital Temple Master in his right. Crucially, there wasn't a trace of shyness on any of the women's faces, as if they had long grown accustomed to all of this.
A man who could embrace two women was already enviable, let alone one who was handling three at once. Each one was a stunning beauty, and not merely playthings serving men with their looks; these women were all formidable figures in their own right!
How did this damned Zu An manage all of this? Was there no justice in the world?
If heavenly retribution truly existed, it should strike this guy dead! How were other men supposed to live?
"What are you looking at?" Zu An noticed his strange expression and couldn't help but ask.
"Hehe, I'm just envious of Brother Zu enjoying the blessings of having multiple wives. Do you have any tricks you could teach a brother?" Wu Liang chuckled.
These words immediately made the three women blush deeply. Yu Yanluo was fine, being an official girlfriend, but Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue instantly felt the hand on their waists become especially hot.
However, their bodies had just been drained, and they couldn't fly at the moment, so they could only let Zu An hold them.
Yun Jianyue glared fiercely at Wu Liang. "You dead fatty, if I hear any rumors after we get out of here, I will surely pull out your tongue."
The Demonic Cult Master's killing intent was palpable. Wu Liang shivered and meekly asked, "That's not fair. What if one of them leaks it?"
Yun Jianyue said flatly, "I will still pull out your tongue."
Wu Liang: "..."
He also noticed the coldness in Yan Xuehen's eyes, knowing she likely shared the same thought. He felt a bit indignant, thinking these women had already done it, yet didn't want others to speak of it.
His previous envy instantly vanished. Such overbearing and fierce women should remain Brother Zu's burden. They definitely shouldn't be let loose to harm other men.
"Don't worry, Cult Master Yun, I promise I won't tell a third person about your affairs once we get out." Wu Liang raised a finger and guaranteed.
At the same time, he added mentally, "Unless they pay more."
The dignified Cult Master of the Demonic Sect and the White Jade Capital Temple Master, two famous arch-rivals, now acting like sisters sharing one man. Tsk tsk tsk, this explosive piece of information would surely fetch a good price if released.
"I only promised not to tell a third person, not a fourth or fifth, right? Hahaha, Fatty is so clever!"
The group flew at top speed. Fortunately, they weren't too far from the exit, and they finally caught up.
Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, their expressions suddenly changed. The spatial vortex ahead was rapidly shrinking. It had originally been about ten zhang in size, but in that instant, it was less than one zhang.
At this rate of contraction, it might completely disappear in the next second.
