"City Lord Zhong?" Wu Qingshan nodded and said, "What brings you here?"
"I saw something was happening here, so I came to take a look."
Zhong Changchang shook his head with a smile, not saying much more.
He swept his gaze over everyone, somewhat surprised, and asked, "Hasn’t Xu Zhou joined up with you?"
"Xu Zhou?" Wu Qingshan’s eyes narrowed, "Have you seen Xu Zhou?"
Zhong Changchang nodded and said, "I passed by here earlier and happened to meet him. He had just fought a battle with Yue Huarong and seemed to have sustained a significant injury, rushing back to heal. I thought he went to find you all."
Wu Qingshan and the others showed expressions of shock.
"So, does that mean Yue Huarong was really killed by Xu Zhou?"
Everyone looked at Yue Huarong, who lay on the ground, reduced to a dried corpse, all feeling a tremor of their spirits.
Even though this was just an avatar of Yue Huarong, it still possessed Fourth Rank strength.
Xu Zhou, being only in the late Second Grade, managed to slay a Fourth Rank? Such a feat would drop the jaw of even a Ninth Grade Expert!
"Where did Xu Zhou go?" Xia Liyue suddenly asked.
Shen Wanchen also said gravely, "City Lord Zhong, which direction did you see Xu Zhou heading?"
This Yue Huarong had strange methods, and Xu Zhou’s ability to kill her likely means he sustained very severe injuries, perhaps even life-threatening!
Zhong Changchang, also understanding the seriousness of the situation, quickly said, "He should be heading southeast."
Shen Wanchen nodded and swiftly flew towards the southeast.
...
A moment earlier.
In a hidden cave, Xu Zhou sat cross-legged.
As the Spiritual Being absorbed Yue Huarong, its level soared.
The Dao Lotus trembled continuously, seemingly unable to suppress the golden Spiritual Being.
A vast spiritual wave erupted.
This spiritual wave was not pure; instead, it was quite chaotic and carried very frightening malevolence.
Under its influence, Xu Zhou’s thoughts became distorted and chaotic, his mind going blank, unable to think about anything else.
Just then, a panel appeared.
A flash of light passed through.
Tens of thousands of miles away in the Thousand Demon Cave.
"Roar——"
The Immortal Dragon Divine Beast suddenly let out a long roar, as a terrifying spirit energy descended, fed back from its main body.
It was actively bearing this evil spiritual pressure!
With the avatar bearing it, Xu Zhou here felt a huge relief.
The vast spiritual wave receded like a tide.
"Phew!"
"I didn’t expect the avatar could bear the spiritual backlash for me." Xu Zhou sighed in relief in his heart.
With the avatar’s help in bearing the pressure, his main body here was much more at ease.
But just as Xu Zhou opened his eyes, he suddenly froze.
Before him was darkness, with an incredibly terrifying giant eye gazing at him.
