Chapter 2378: Sisters United

Zu An looked at her coldly. "I can take you with me to that time fragment, but once we are there, you must tell me the method of salvation. Otherwise, I will make you suffer a punishment a thousand, even ten thousand times more agonizing than what you just endured, an eternal damnation."

Salome was about to speak when Zu An suddenly extended his hand and made a distant gesture towards her. In that instant, she felt as if her soul was leaving her body. Before she could understand what was happening, she was pulled into a place of utter darkness.

For so many years, the Demon World had conquered countless others, and it possessed innumerable cruel punishments for those who resisted. She considered herself well-versed in such matters. However, what she was witnessing now made all of that seem utterly insignificant. Especially the last place, called the Avici Hell, where countless tormented souls were immersed. Each one suffered a pain countless times more severe than what she had just experienced from the Life-and-Death-Pill. The sight nearly made her spirit shatter.

Her vision blurred, and the next moment, she found herself back in reality. She glanced at Zu An, a mix of shock and fear on her face, a deep sense of dread rising in her heart. She knew that what she had just experienced was no illusion, but a real place. This man actually controlled such a terrifying domain!

She no longer dared to be as arrogant as before. Forcing a smile at Zu An, she said, "If you would just take us there and promise to release Uncle Mo and me, I will naturally tell you the relevant method of salvation, without the slightest deception." Noticing the displeasure on his face, she quickly added, "The reason I need to tell you there is because one of the materials required to cure her Innate Cursed Saint Body can only be found in that world."

Zu An's heart stirred; it didn't seem like she was lying. He then asked, "Would it be faster if I brought Xiao Xi along?"

Salome replied with some hesitation, "It should be."

Zu An nodded and went to Ji Xiao Xi's side. "Xiao Xi, are you brave enough to come with me to that sealed world?"

Ji Xiao Xi hummed in response, her watery eyes gazing at him tenderly. "As long as I'm by Brother Zu's side, I'm not afraid of anything." Seeing her docile appearance, Zu An couldn't resist pinching her cheek. Xiao Xi was so adorable; he had to protect her well.

Jiang Luofu spoke up, "I'll go with you."

Zu An hesitated. Jiang Luofu quickly added, "You'll have other things to do once you reach that world. I can help look after Xiao Xi."

Zu An considered this. She was right. In that world, he not only had to find a cure for Ji Xiao Xi but also address the world's issues, especially preventing others from destroying the World Law Beacons or similar structures. "Very well!" Zu An decided, considering Jiang Luofu's maturity and cultivation were both excellent. He agreed.

At that moment, Pei Mianman also approached. "I'll come too."

Yun Yuqing and Suo Lunshi likewise echoed, "Exactly. How can we stand by when our sister Xiao Xi needs help?"

Zu An hesitated; that world was still too dangerous. At this point, Pei Mianman secretly transmitted a message using vital energy: "This journey involves Salome, Mogad, and the True Demon Tribe elders, plus the enigmatic Historian of Ages. You'll be outnumbered and outmatched alone. It's better if we're together to look out for each other."

Zu An knew she had a point. No matter how powerful one was, there would be times when they couldn't be everywhere at once. But that world was truly too dangerous for them.

Yun Yuqing seemed to guess his thoughts and smiled. "A'Zu, don't treat us like useless vases. Before we met you, we were all quite formidable."

Suo Lunshi also laughed. "While I may not be as powerful as my sisters, I am still one of the most renowned young experts of the Demon Race, often undertaking trials of life and death. Brother Zu, you truly don't need to worry about our safety."

Zu An realized they were right. These were some of the most outstanding women in the world, not his mere subordinates. If he constantly kept them under his protective wing, shielding them from the slightest danger, it might actually hinder their growth.

"In that case, let's work together and venture into that mysterious world!" Zu An's heroic spirit soared.

The women's hands were tightly stacked together. Ji Xiao Xi, moved to tears, rubbed her eyes. "Thank you, sisters!"

The women affectionately ruffled her hair. "Xiao Xi, that's too formal. If we were in a similar situation, would you stand idly by?"

Ji Xiao Xi's cheeks flushed slightly, but she firmly stated, "Of course not!"

"Then there you have it. Sisters united, our strength can sever gold!" Pei Mianman smiled enchantingly.

Jiang Luofu's expression was a little odd. Was her status perhaps unfitting for them to call each other sisters? Did Pei Mianman know something? But swept up in the heightened emotions of those around her, she also called out: "Our strength can sever gold!"

From a distance, the Grand Elder of the True Demon Tribe watched their joyful scene, thinking that Donall was once a renowned playboy, but in this regard, he was far inferior to this Regent King. At least the women around Donall had never been so harmonious. Alas, even in his most accustomed area, he was no match for the Regent King. No wonder Donall was utterly defeated by him.

Salome, wrapped in her spare clothes, stared fixedly at the small group. A touch of regret stirred in her heart. If she had been more genuine with "Donall" initially, instead of just using him and planning to kill these other women, perhaps she could have been with him. Then, how could these women have competed with her? As she thought this, her regret and venom intensified. Why me?! Why is my life always so bitter?! I encounter every misfortune. I won't accept this!

The Historian of Ages looked at Zu An, who had approached him, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Your fortune with women is truly enviable, Your Excellency. I have met many powerful individuals, and indeed they have beautiful women around them, but few possess genuine love like yours, where they can live harmoniously with each other."

These words made Pei Mianman and the other women blush deeply, and they swiftly withdrew their hands. Zu An cleared his throat, clearly not in the mood to discuss this. "You all can rest here with the Demon Tribe for the night. I need to do some preparatory work. We'll depart tomorrow."

The Historian of Ages hesitated. "I recall that activating the Box of Creation requires a blood sacrifice." As he spoke, he looked at Pei Mianman and the other women, implying these Demon Saintesses were the intended sacrifices.

Zu An calmly stated, "I already understand the array's principles. Only the essence blood of some pure-blooded demons is needed; no living sacrifices are required."

The Historian of Ages bowed. "For the Regent King to be so proficient in array formations is truly admirable." He then handed over the Box of Creation. "Returning it to its rightful owner."

From a distance, Salome's eyes nearly shot flames. Was this man blind? She was clearly the original owner!

Zu An was somewhat surprised. He took back the Box of Creation, and after confirming it was correct, he asked doubtfully, "Aren't you worried I might go back on my word later and not take you to that world?"

The Historian of Ages smiled slightly. "I believe Your Excellency is not one to break a promise. Furthermore, having just received your personal pledge, we have already established a pact. Therefore, I'm not afraid you'll go back on your word."

"A pact?" Zu An was wary. Was this another one of the Historian of Ages' strange abilities?

"Your Excellency, there's no need to be nervous. We Historians of Ages are quite unique. You shouldn't think of us as objectively existing humans or living entities. We exist by attaching ourselves to individuals with flourishing destinies. As long as a powerful individual has a strong destiny, we can exist," the Historian of Ages explained with a smile. "Our previous interactions with you, combined with your promise, have already forged a sufficient bond. So even if you were to change your mind and go to that world alone, I would still be able to follow you there myself."

Zu An's pupils constricted. "Does that mean you'll be present by my side at all times from now on?"
