“After I became the Goddess of the twentieth heaven, the temple had stood for tens of thousands of years, and I had never imprisoned a single Thousand and One Sword Star!”
David looked at him coldly: “Are you lying?”
“I didn’t lie! I really didn’t lie!”
Jin Wuhao’s voice was filled with an urgent sense of imminent destruction, “I am the God Clan’s representative on the Twentieth Heaven, the God Emperor’s elect, but I am not the God Clan’s patriarch. I only oversee the affairs of the God Clan in the lower realms; I have no authority over the entire God Clan!”
David was silent for a moment, the cold look in his eyes did not diminish at all, but he knew that Jin Wuhao was telling the truth.
The once proud and mighty immortal was now kneeling before him, trembling, and had even lost the courage to lie.
Was Wan Jianxing worthy of the Divine Clan Chief’s personal intervention to imprison him?
In that case, isn’t Wan Jianxing’s strength impossible to achieve?
Looking back, David realized that he had no idea how strong Wan Jianxing really was.
That means,”
David’s voice sounded a little disappointed and cold, “You don’t know anything, can’t do anything, and are worthless to me?”
Jin Wuhao’s face immediately turned pale. He nodded and shook his head frantically: “I know some! I know some void points where the gods imprison important figures!”
But Wan Jianxing… I have never heard of that name before! I swear! I swear on my soul! If I lie, may I be damned to eternal hell!
David looked at him and remained silent for a long time.
Then he looked away, his voice very gentle: “Since you’re useless, there’s no point in you living.”
His hand gripped the hilt of the Dragon Slayer Sword. Purple light radiated from the blade, like a sleeping dragon opened its eyes.
Jin Wuhao’s pupils narrowed sharply. He wanted to say something, beg for mercy, explain, but the sword light had gone out.
The purple sword light drew an arc and precisely slashed at Jin Wuhao’s neck.
The head rose, bobbing a few times in the air, and the expression on his face was still frozen in the horror and despair of those final moments.
Golden blood spurted from the severed neck, turning the scorched earth a new dark golden color.
The headless body froze for a moment, then slowly fell to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.
David sheathed his sword, staring at Jin Wuhao’s corpse, his purple eyes seemingly emotionless.
Then he turned to Master Shi, his voice pleading: “Master Shi, Wan Jianxing is my subordinate. I cannot let him continue to be imprisoned in the void passage forever. Can you?”
Mr. Shi looked at him, his gaze remained calm, like a bottomless pool: “You want me to save him?”
David nodded: “Go ahead.”
Mr. Shi did not speak.
He simply raised his right hand, palm facing forward, and pushed gently.
The movement remained relaxed, without any fluctuations in power.
However, a crack slowly appeared in the empty space in front of his palm.
The gap was small, only about ten feet wide, like a gate to an unknown world.
A profound void power emerged from the crack, cold and silent, carrying the aura of eternal sleep.
David held his breath, his gaze focused intently on the crack.
Through the gap, he saw a gray void.
There were no stars or light in the void, only an endless expanse of gray stretching in all directions.
Amidst that gray void, he saw a blurry figure.
The figure was ethereal, almost transparent, like a reflection in water that could disappear at any time.
The shape of the body is still recognizable; He was a middle-aged man, sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed, his face calm but showing deep fatigue.
He was surrounded by dark red flames, which resembled burning chains that wrapped around his limbs and torso, each flare making his image dimmer.
Wan Jianxing.
David’s heart suddenly started beating fast.
He recognized the silhouette. Although Wan Jianxing was only a remnant soul, that face and vague figure were him.
Had Wan Jianxing not risked his own safety to save him, the person who once guided him would not now be just a remaining soul.
But the gap only opened for a few breaths before it closed again without a sound.
The gap closed again, leaving no trace of the crack that once existed.
