The talisman arrow unleashed devastating power, fiercely striking the Firmament Demon Emperor!
*Boom!*
In the earth-shattering explosion, the Firmament Demon Emperor was blown to smithereens, his handsome face reduced to bare bone, and his eyeballs dangled out, a horrifyingly grotesque sight.
His body was even more mangled; his stomach had a large hole blown through it, and his intestines spilled out with a wet gurgle, trailing on the ground.
But this was where the powerful vitality of the demon race truly showed itself.
He was still alive!
"Ahhh! Jiang Fan!!!" The Firmament Demon Emperor's face was beyond recognition, yet he still unleashed terrifying combat power.
He ignored his horrific injuries.
With a contorted face, he lunged at Jiang Fan, clearly intending to take him down with him.
Jiang Fan calmly retreated, widening the distance while taking out his last talisman arrow.
Upon seeing this from afar, the Thousand Corpses Reverend's expression changed.
The Firmament Demon Emperor had completely lost his mind!
If he took another hit from a talisman arrow in this state, he would surely die!
And once the Firmament Demon Emperor died, Jiang Fan would be free to drop stones and join the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets in fighting him.
That would be...
"Still daring to be distracted?"
The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets' eyes flashed with a sharp glint, and his long-stored Black Heaven Pupils suddenly activated!
During the fierce battle with the Firmament Demon Emperor earlier, he hadn't used his Black Heaven Pupils again.
This made the Firmament Demon Emperor mistakenly believe that his lightning power was exhausted and he couldn't restrain the Thousand Corpses Reverend, which was why he had switched to having the Thousand Corpses Reverend hold him back.
But the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets was always one to plan before acting.
With a powerful expert from the Grand Yin Sect present, how could he not save some lightning power for a crucial moment?
Now was the time!
Two beams of lightning instantly pierced through the corpse horde and penetrated the sinister aura around the Thousand Corpses Reverend.
By the time he reacted, the lightning beams were already upon him.
He was horrified, his face drained of color; it was too late to dodge.
With a *whoosh*, he was struck through the chest by the lightning, revealing a bloody hole burning with lightning fire.
The organs within his chest were all scorched to charcoal.
Especially his heart, which was precisely incinerated to ash by the lightning beam.
Since the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets had seized the opportunity, it was certainly a fatal blow!
The Thousand Corpses Reverend's eyes were filled with unwillingness. "How could... this be..."
*Thud!*
The Thousand Corpses Reverend fell straight down.
Before the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets could step forward, a fist-sized soul body, clutching a spatial storage artifact and surrounded by a dense sinister aura, appeared.
It was none other than the Thousand Corpses Reverend's soul!
His face was filled with malevolence. "Yun Tianzhou! Do you know who you're making an enemy of?"
"I am acting on behalf of Reverend Bai Yu, searching for this Concubine Yunxia for him!"
"You actually obstructed me and even destroyed my cultivation body!"
"I see your Heavenly Secrets Pavilion no longer wishes to rely on Reverend Bai Yu, and no longer wishes to rely on the Myriad Calamities Holy Temple!"
The slightly relaxed expression on the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets' face suddenly froze.
His pupils trembled, filled with astonishment.
The Thousand Corpses Reverend working for someone else would not have surprised him.
But Reverend Bai Yu was the person from the Myriad Calamities Holy Temple responsible for liaising with him!
He was also a venerated senior from the Tai Cang Grand State, at the fifth layer of the Nascent Soul realm.
He was actually interested in Jiang Fan's woman?
He couldn't let the Thousand Corpses Reverend return!
Otherwise, if Reverend Bai Yu knew the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had ruined his plans, it would be extremely troublesome.
He gathered his remaining lightning power, attempting to strike the Thousand Corpses Reverend.
"Hmph! You want to keep me?"
"Dream on!"
With a *whoosh*, he vanished into the void, the two beams of lightning striking empty air.
The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets' expression darkened.
Things instantly became extremely tricky!
Just as he was pondering.
The Thousand Corpses Reverend's soul body suddenly emerged from the void again!
No, it wasn't him coming out!
Instead, it was a strand of thread, wrapped around him, pulling him back from the void.
The other end of this thread extended into a cloud in the sky.
As the wind blew, the cloud drifted, faintly revealing a daoist in a white robe who looked like an immortal.
That thread was a strand from the whisk in his hand.
The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets only caught a glimpse of the figure, but his pupils constricted to pinpricks.
His heart plunged into a bottomless abyss.
His vision went black!
Because this person was none other than...
...Reverend Bai Yu!
He had actually been on the continent all this time!
And at the scene of the great battle?
The Thousand Corpses Reverend was both surprised and delighted, yet also somewhat uneasy, saying, "Senior Bai Yu!"
"Is that you?"
The cloud suddenly dispersed.
Revealing Reverend Bai Yu's immortal-like appearance.
He stepped through the air expressionlessly, slowly arriving before the Thousand Corpses Reverend and lightly patted his soul body.
"You've worked hard. Your cultivation body is gone."
The Thousand Corpses Reverend relaxed slightly, bowing and saying, "It is this junior's honor to serve Reverend Bai Yu."
"It's just a pity that the matter was ruined by the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets, whom you protect."
Reverend Bai Yu nodded slightly, saying, "Mm, I'll handle it from now on."
"You may go rest."
The Thousand Corpses Reverend was about to nod, but then froze.
Go rest?
Did that mean...
Suddenly, excruciating pain struck!
The part of his soul that Reverend Bai Yu had patted scattered like a dandelion with a mere breath of wind.
And it was still spreading to other parts of his body.
The Thousand Corpses Reverend was terrified. "Senior Bai Yu, Senior, what are you doing?"
He never expected Reverend Bai Yu to try and kill him.
Reverend Bai Yu said blandly, "If the Tai Cang Grand State knew that I, Reverend Bai Yu, coveted a fox demon woman, where would I put my face?"
"You shouldn't have said my name."
"Alas, go on!"
He waved his sleeve, and the Thousand Corpses Reverend's soul body instantly disintegrated.
"No!!!"
"Reverend Bai Yu, you are so cruel..."
His voice, along with the fragments of his soul, vanished into the heavens and earth.
Reverend Bai Yu was someone who highly valued his reputation.
Even if he was interested in Concubine Yunxia, he wouldn't lower himself to claim her directly; instead, he gave benefits to the Thousand Corpses Reverend to handle it.
Unexpectedly, the Thousand Corpses Reverend had actually revealed his name.
It was now difficult for him not to appear.
And since he had appeared, could anyone present who knew about this matter survive?
Reverend Bai Yu turned and looked at the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets, sighing faintly, "Tianzhou, I still value you quite a lot."
"But you shouldn't have ruined my plans."
He twirled his whisk and slowly walked towards the Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets.
The Pavilion Master of Heavenly Secrets knew that he, too, would end up like the Thousand Corpses Reverend, silenced.
He said bitterly, "Reverend Bai Yu, is it worth it?"
"For a woman, you've remained on the continent until now?"
He couldn't understand.
Concubine Yunxia was indeed beautiful; no man could remain unmoved.
But was she worth Reverend Bai Yu going to such great lengths?
"Why would I be here for her?"
Reverend Bai Yu chuckled, "The reason I secretly remained was by the Temple Master's order, to find the lost final volume of the 'Six Heavenly Thunder Books': 'Yin-Yang Heaven'."
"While cultivating recently, he sensed that someone on this continent was cultivating 'Yin-Yang Heaven'."
"That's why he told me to stay and investigate discreetly."
He raised his eyes, looked at Concubine Yunxia not far away, and smiled, shaking his head.
"Today, I noticed someone undergoing tribulation here, so I came to take a look."
"Luckily I came."
"Otherwise, my reputation would be ruined."
After speaking.
He sighed faintly and said, "Tianzhou, I don't want today's events to spread."
"Therefore, I can only make you suffer a little."
He spoke the most understated words, but performed the most callous and ruthless actions.
