"Hey, you! Your clothes are not bad! Take them off and I'll let you live."
That gang of robbers was considered the most difficult herd to deal with in the desert. After they robbed nearby towns, they would retreat into the desert every time. Even the imperial court did not manage to catch them after dozens of sieges.
They were too cunning and were familiar with fighting in the desert. All of them were valiant too.
"Why? Are you so scared that you will lose your tongue?"
The leader of the robber glanced at Baili Jia Jue with disdain, and the group of men who were riding on the horses behind him roared with laughter.
However, before they stopped laughing, they saw countless colossuses behind Baili Jia Jue's black cloak under the strong wind.
All of them had huge figures and their eyes were blood-red, their buckteeth slightly exposed as if they could tear them off any time.
Baili Jia Jue just stood there without lifting his eyelids as he chuckled.
Every robber suffered from a bursting pain in the heart!
The leader's face was distorted. Bang! His body was mangled beyond recognition and fell himself into the sands immediately.
The group of demons was just like the darkness that could engulf all lives, spreading quickly across the whole desert.
In the end, the remaining two robbers who were not riding a horse looked at the scene, trembling. Their legs turned into jelly and they kneeled on the ground at once.
However, that very moment, a gentle and polite chuckle was resounded in the air...
Chapter 881 - Ripping Space And Time Apart
"It's indeed the Emperor! You've solved a big problem for me. I've been looking for this gang of robbers for ages. I hate it when others touch my money. But, it is hard to look for them and take revenge since I'm blind," The voice was very low as if he was brewing laughter from time to time. "However, don't you find that the method you used to make me appear is way too bloody?"
Baili Jia Jue looked back in an indifferent expression on his face. A man appeared behind him, wearing a Chinese traditional costume smartly. Although he was walking in the desert, there was no dust on his clothes. It seemed to be totally blind with his eyes closed, accompanied by his long eyelashes. The bird that perched on his shoulder appeared to be spiritual as it looked daggers at him in hostility.
Other than the bird, there was a little one following behind him. The little one had dark circles below his eyes and was carrying a huge bottle gourd on his back.
The little one was not a stranger to Baili Jia Jue. He was the ghost baby that once followed Jing Wushuang.
However, he was not interested in the reason why the ghost baby followed this man.
Baili Jia Jue looked at the man with his darkened gaze, "Where is she?"
The communication between brilliant people never required a lot of utterances.
Boss Pei smiled, "I need to predict. Even for nature's mystery, it could only be predicted when the anomaly appears."
Upon hearing that, Baili Jia Jue laid his eyes on the Bodhi that was carried by the ghost baby. He looked down and removed the black gloves on his hands with his teeth. Then, he bit his fair wrist. The purest blood of Tian Dao dripped on the root of the Bodhi. "You can predict now, don't you?"
Boss Pei was blind, but he was well-aware of things more than those who could see. "I thought the Emperor is a person who could not tolerate his love rivals at all."
"Indeed, I do not want to see him," Baili Jia Jue twitched his thin lips coldly, running his eyes through the Bodhi tree casually, "So Boss Pei, you'd better have the news that I want now."
Boss Pei did not mind to be threatened. His slender finger pointed at the bird on his shoulder.
Innumerable power formed thin and long threads as his eyes opened. The threads floated in the air and assembled together, interwoven into a vast and ancient imprint.
It was just like the gear of time operating rapidly to make predictions.
The demons around could not sustain this power at all, as a result, their faces became distorted.
However, Baili Jia Jue only focused on the man's calculation.
Finally, he caught his d.e.s.i.r.ed information!
Where is this place?
How can houses be built higher than Tian Dao?
What is the type of large birds that fly around?
Why did she have things like this by her side?
There was a tremor in Baili Jia Jue's pupils. He recalled the words that Helian Wei Wei told him a long time ago.
She had mentioned before that she was not the true Eldest Young Lady of the Helian family.
Instead, she was a cloud of the soul from the millennium later...
"She has returned to where she belongs." Boss Pei closed his eyes and the calculation came to a halt. "Obviously, that place does not belong to the Divine Mainland."
Baili Jia Jue retracted his gaze, "No, that place belongs to the Divine Mainland too. It is the Divine Mainland a thousand years later."
Boss Pei did not deny it. Apparently, it was also included in his calculation, "That's all I can do for you. After this, I need to help the ghost baby to wake his master up. As for the trade this time, please remember to appoint someone to send the money out of Exorcist City. There will be someone coming to collect it."
Fire Qilin laid his eyes on the silhouette that disappeared in the desolate desert. Deep down, he felt faintly uneasy about it.
The Divine Mainland after 1000 years?
How can my Master go there?
Master may not have enough patience to wait till then.
It is even hard to tell what will exactly happen to the princess consort within so many years.
A thousand years - his passing of time was terribly murky even to them.
It was too long that ordinary people could not accept it at all.
There were ways to reach a thousand years later. Perhaps going to the Netherworld and reincarnating as a human would take a thousand years.
However, that method was not suitable for its Master at all.
Furthermore, no one knew the exact location of the princess consort, and the exact year was not confirmed either.
The King of Hell was the only one who could travel through time in the Netherworld. This was a characteristic that even the Grim Reaper did not possess.
Upon thinking, Fire Qilin fixed his gaze at Baili Jia Jue's facial expression subconsciously.
"A thousand years?" Baili Jia Jue put down his hand which was holding his face earlier. He chuckled, his hoarse voice indulging in his devilish and potent nature, "Did they really think that they can stop me?"
"Master," Fire Qilin stared at him worriedly.
A bigotry gold started to appear in Baili Jia Jue's eyes. Innumerable dust rose under the strong wind. The wraiths from the dead city that were buried underground were s.u.c.k.e.d into this unknown power!
The Netherworld shook vigorously, more turbulent than ever.
Large rocks fell from the first hell to the eighteenth hell. Even the reapers could not stand and fell into the Sea of Blood.
The son of the King of Hell was looking into the mirror when his head was hit and became swollen. He slapped the ground angrily and stood up. "What's going on? Why can they just let me style my hair peacefully! What's wrong with the human world?"
His father would always pass the buck to him and fiddle around!
"You, Your, Your Highness," The judge crawled out laboriously, raising his head. "Someone, someone set up a Blood Formation in the human world!"
Blood Formation?
The King of Hell's son who was adorned with a handsome face was dumbfounded. He did not bother about combing his hair, instead, he stood up promptly. "It must be the Great Demon King! He must have found Phoenix! Isn't the Blood Formation a formation that can rip space and time apart? I want to follow him!"
"Your Highness, dangerous, it's dangerous!" The judge risked his life to put his arms around th
e waist of the King of Hell's son.
The King of Hell's son kicked him off aggressively. "It is not dangerous at all! I'm not the one setting up the formation anyway! In case it works, perhaps I can track Phoenix by following the formation and go to modern times. Don't think my father can prevent my love for Little Hook by placing me in ancient times!"
The judge could not hold back His Highness at all. If it were not for the Grim Reaper who appeared at the door in time, the King of Hell's son would have run away!
"You will only be treated as a sacrificial offering if you tag along." Grim Reaper stood at the doorway with a black notebook in his hand. He reached out his hand as he moved his glasses upward, "Don't forget about your physique, Little Seven."
The King of Hell's son swore in a low voice with his extraordinarily malicious face, "According to what you meant, does it mean that the human world will be completely wrecked off soon?"
Chapter 882 - Passing Through
"The Netherworld is only in charge of the dead. What happens to the human world has nothing to do with us," said the Grim Reaper. He stood at the side, looking indifferently at the black stones that rolled past his feet. He was as cold-blooded as always.
Above the wilderness, a blood-red tactical formation left a complicated and ancient burn mark on the ground.
Numerous magical beasts and ghosts were absorbed into the tactical formation, exploding into blood mist the moment they entered it.
The blood mist would then be transferred rapidly into every line of the tactical formation, lighting them up.
A day and a night elapsed.
The people looked on as the magical beasts on Earth were absorbed by a strange force into a thick layer of clouds.
They had never seen this kind of terrifying power before.
Many of them started to kneel on the stone steps of the Hidden Spirit Temple, burning incense and worshipping the Buddha, in hopes of clearing away the black mist that concealed the light of the day.
However, these powers were still insufficient for Baili Jia Jue!
It was impossible to satisfy the Blood Formation by merely sacrificing magical beasts!
Hence, he started to catch dead souls to make the evil spirits open a way for him!
As a result of this, the black mist that gathered in the sky gradually grew increasingly bigger. The thick and pungent blood aura still ended up causing an adverse effect on the surrounding areas.
The rats, snakes, and worms that were originally hiding in the burrows started crawling out. When the wild animals that usually lived in the jungle started appearing in the Capital, the citizens were so afraid that their faces were deathly pale.
As the saying goes, when the demons show up, misfortune will strike.
When the experienced exorcists saw this scene, they immediately knew something was causing trouble.
As the members of the Exorcising Tribe, they could not just stand by and watch.
Their immediate reaction was to gather a huge group of exorcists and find the assembly point of the Blood Formation in order to stop it.
"Evil creature! You better stop this now! Or else, once we cast the Divine Exorcism Seal, you will not even have a shred of your soul left!"
Baili Jia Jue did not speak, nor did he look back. He stood sinisterly in the middle of the tactical formation, his handsome side profile as cold as ice.
The old exorcists had never been ignored by anyone. They exchanged glances with each other and raised the Mahogany Swords in their hands. "Since you are impertinent, we will enforce justice on behalf of Heaven!"
As the exorcists spoke, they lifted their feet and dashed toward Baili Jia Jue!
Baili Jia Jue still did not turn around. He waved his long sleeves!
All the exorcists were thrown to the ground telekinetically by him!
The exorcists did not give in. They held their c.h.e.s.ts, throbbing with pain, and then prepared to cast another spell.
Baili Jia Jue squinted and reached his hand out in a certain direction, making a catching motion. Suddenly, he had his hand around the throat of a very high-level exorcist, choking him!
"Since you want to die so much, I will fulfill your wish!"
Upon speaking, Baili Jia Jue threw the exorcist into the tactical formation!
The facial expression on everyone's faces changed when they saw this. They immediately cast the Nine Word Mantra, intending to use the Light of Dharma to trap Baili Jia Jue in place, in order to shatter his soul.
However, they did not expect that the Light of Dharma had no effect whatsoever on the man standing opposite them!
It was too late to fall back and retreat now because every time he reached out with his arm, he would catch an exorcist. No matter what level the exorcists were, they were like ants in his hand, all of them were thrown into the Blood Formation.
In Baili Jia Jue's eyes, without Helian Wei Wei, humans were just something to play with when he was bored.
Demons do not have hearts.
Surprisingly, with the addition of the exorcists, the black mist of the Blood Formation became increasingly thicker. Lightning flashed and thunder rumbled in the sky above as if the end of the world was approaching soon!
However, faced with this strange phenomenon, Baili Jia Jue did not show any signs of restraint. Instead, his deep eyes turned brighter, and extraordinary magic flowed through his handsome features.
Once the Blood Formation was formed, all living creatures in the surrounding area would be drawn toward it.
Fresh blood and spiritual aura were the essential nutrients for a tactical formation!
The exorcists did not even have the chance to regret it. As the last body disappeared, a tuft of black feathers suddenly exploded in the middle of the Blood Formation. It looked like a pair of wings flapping, flying up to the sky!
The next moment, Baili Jia Jue walked out of the tactical formation, the black feathers followed his movement, falling around his feet as he walked.
His entire body looked like it was covered in feathers. His face was as handsome as the devil, startling everyone.
This was because a black hole had appeared above Baili Jia Jue's head. No one knew where the black hole led. A gust of wind was blowing out of the black hole, but instead, it felt like it could suck everything in!
Fire Qilin widened his eyes as he looked at the scene before him.
What, what is that?
Unbelievable!
Even though I'm an ancient mythical beast, I have never seen anything like this before!
Master has really ripped a crack in time and space, right in the air!
However, that world was too strange, so much so that it exceeded Fire Qilin's whole knowledge of the world!
After the crack in time and space appeared, Baili Jia Jue did not take action immediately. He looked like he was searching for something, confirming it over and over again. The more certain he was, the redder his eyes became.
The earth started to shake vigorously. The black feathers were like sharp knives that could pierce through everything, stabbing into the bodies of the magical beasts one by one!
The vibrations could be felt in the Capital too. It appeared as though all the magical beasts in the entire Divine Mainland went berserk at the same moment!
Amidst the billowing dust, Baili Jia Jue's gaze finally fixed at a point within the infinite phantom of clouds and mist!
Fire Qilin knew that even though he could rip a crack in time and space if the right person was not found, his master would still be unable to meet the Princess Consort.
Therefore, every try was a gamble.
The expression on Baili Jia Jue's side profile did not change as his eyes squinted!
All of a sudden, the black mist that gathered in the sky rushed downward rapidly, enshrouding him entirely. Besides him, numerous demons were drawn into it as well!
Low growls could be heard all around, their voices trembling as they were about to face the unknown.
&
nbsp; The elder one was the smartest, having wrapped his arms around Baili Jia Jue's left leg from the start. There was not a single trace of fear on his handsome little face that resembled an angel. Instead, he could not hide his excitement.
He was a demon after all.
Ever since he was born, he had a strong sense of pursuing blood and destruction.
The black mist grew bigger over time until it covered the entire Ancient Desert City.
Chapter 883 - Little Baby Qingchen
The violent wind, formed by an deadly aura, whirled and raged in Desert City, only stopping after the black hole in the sky disappeared completely.
Meanwhile, Boss Pei, who was standing in the distance, suddenly recalled a scene that happened in Buddhism many years ago.
Back then, even under the Shield of Vajra, the youngster stood tall and upright.
Gautama Buddha had asked him if he wanted to convert.
However, he replied with a mere snicker, appearing elegant yet defiant.
It was as though no one could make him surrender.
No matter what hardsh.i.p.s and perils were awaiting him ahead, he would conquer them all.
Regardless of how his destiny threatened him, he would never yield.
As the person he was today, he wanted nothing more than to overbearingly trample everything under his foot.
What exactly grants him a faith that is more powerful and complete?
Is Phoenix the reason behind this?
Boss Pei lowered his head while his thin lips curved into a smile. He was still blind, but a meaningful smile was painted across the corners of his mouth.
As a demon, will the Emperor be able to get used to the Divine Mainland of the modern era...?
Three years later.
Fifth Ring Road had been upgraded to Sixth Ring Road.
There were cars everywhere and the prices of properties multiplied very quickly, almost by folds.
