Chapter 1706: Chapter 145 Sky Rift_3

“Shen Fu! This traitorous wretch!”

Wang Ba no longer hesitated, wielding the Skyfall Blade to strike thrice.

Frost-white blade lights fell consecutively.

The first two strikes resulted in nothing, but on the third, Han Yanzi’s body shattered into countless ice shards.

In the sky, a torrential blood rain poured down as Han Yanzi’s silhouette slowly emerged, his face seemingly filled with lament.

Wang Ba glanced around, his hand reaching into the pile of ice shards, retrieving a stone pearl into his palm.

“Class VI Sea Pearl?”

Yet, his face showed no joy of defeating an enemy or acquiring a prized treasure, only a continued heaviness.

He raised his hand and struck several times at the Blood Sacrifice Array, but the array remained completely unmoved, seemingly unaffected!

Wang Ba’s expression slightly darkened.

He lingered not even for a moment.

As his thoughts moved, Divine Patterns appeared, and he vanished instantly from the spot.

…

Primitive Demonic Sect.

In mid-air, a Dungeon opened its entrance, thick blood energy poured out like a stream from the entrance.

All around, the Demon Sect cultivators showed greed, fear, hesitation, surrounding the Dungeon entrance.

Cautiously peering inside the Dungeon.

Yet only vaguely seeing a stern figure in black clothing, blocking the entrance of the Dungeon.

“What is the Sect Master planning here?”

“There’s actually a Dungeon hidden here, I’ve never heard of it.”

“This blood energy is truly rare, this top-grade energy, even a whiff makes me feel it’s extraordinary!”

“Shh! Keep it down! The Sect Master is not in a good mood!”

“The Sect Master just had someone seal the array, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving at will. It seems something big is happening.”

Voices chattered.

Inside the Dungeon.

Shen Fu looked at the figure standing beside the Blood Pool, his expression unknowingly filled with sorrow.

The figure’s face could no longer be seen, entirely enveloped by blood water.

Only the three eyes differed from a normal person.

“Xi Yin…”

Beside him, the Yuan Mother True Instrument Cauldron gently rotated, slowly emitting radiance.

From the three-eyed body, a dark hue wooden talisman flew out, landing lightly in Shen Fu’s palm.

He had always been wary of Gong Xiyin, never believing there could be a virtuous person within this Demonic Sect.

His thoughts were correct.

Gong Xiyin was indeed not a good person, committing murder and arson, massacring sects, despite having no choice but to follow, deep down he never truly accepted him.

Yet until the moment Gong Xiyin was captured and refined by Han Yanzi, he never used the Yin Talisman to ask him for help.

He finally understood certain truths.

Prejudice is a mountain, a barrier he ultimately could not cross.

And for a cultivator, perhaps morality, good and evil… those things mortals care about deeply, really mean nothing.

The Dao, inherently lacks distinction between good and evil.

Though within the Demonic Sect, he insisted on judging his environment by worldly morals, which naturally was his mistake.

And subsequently, it was merely one mistake after another.

“So… this world ultimately respects power above all.”

“With enough strength, one can change those around according to one’s desires, if my heart is kind, then all must be kind, if my heart is evil, then all must be evil…”

He looked at the three-eyed body before him, slowly closing his eyes.

In the next instant, countless Magic Tools flew from the Treasure Cauldron, crashing violently into the three-eyed body.

The Dungeon, instantly covered by the light of explosion.

The magic cultivators around the Dungeon entrance failed to escape and were taken instantly by the explosion as well.

Not only that, throughout the entire Demonic Sect, numerous Magic Tools simultaneously surfaced, each detonated at that moment.

Boom!

Flames roared across the skies!

The entire blood-red ground trembled violently.

Due to the Formation’s closure, no figure could leave the Demonic Sect.

The brilliance from the explosion gradually faded.

Wearing all black, faced stoically, Shen Fu stepped out slowly.

Then, without hesitation, he raised the Treasure Cauldron, covering it down upon himself!

Only after covering did he calmly speak:

“Supreme Elder, now that no one survives in the Demonic Sect, should you not come out?”

Moments later.

One side of Shen Fu’s face began to flow like soft mud, faintly transforming into Han Yanzi’s visage, carrying a hint of shocked anger:

“How did you know?!”

Shen Fu’s expression remained tranquil, with just a faint mocking smirk at the corner of his mouth:

“Guessed.”

“With your disposition, investigating my injuries before was simply to take advantage of rebirth through borrowed body, was it not?”

“You… Fine! Fine!”

Han Yanzi gritted his teeth:

“Indeed, I didn’t expect you to have such capability, not only finding my Ghost location but also predicting I would borrow your body, but it matters not, once I take over your body, I will battle against your senior brother!”

Shen Fu’s gaze intensified, his heart shook:

“You know?”

“Heh, did you truly think your relationship with your senior brother is unknown to anyone? When I dispatched you to Wanxiang Sect, Shangguan Renci’s incarnation at Wanxiang Sect long since perceived it, but suppressed by me, keeping you around was for today’s sake!”

Half of his face, Han Yanzi sneered.

As he spoke, the other half of Shen Fu’s face rapidly transformed to resemble Han Yanzi.

Upon hearing Han Yanzi’s words, Shen Fu’s heart resolved many past ambiguities.

Why in the past during the Sky Rift, upon Han Yanzi’s awakening, he immediately chose him.

Why thereafter, wherever he went, he brought him along, taking utmost care.

Why earlier promised a surprise attack on Jin’s capital but ended up assaulting Longevity Sect, even he was kept in the dark…

Perhaps Han Yanzi may not have necessarily foreseen today, but had prepared thoroughly for the worst.
