"Not good, Young Master, we must leave now!"
In the courtyard, Uncle Fu's expression changed drastically.
Without hesitation, he grabbed Chu Xia and Chu Xiao'er, who were still in a daze, and prepared to tear through the void to escape.
The overwhelming demonic aura of the approaching demonic powerhouse, who didn't even bother to conceal his presence, was undoubtedly targeting Chu Xia.
Currently, the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Demon Court were locked in a fierce and intense war.
The Ninth Prince of the Demon Court, Di Wen, had been brutally killed by a powerhouse from the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
The Immortal Chu Dynasty had taken an extremely tough stance, refusing to hand over the perpetrator, which had enraged the entire Demon Court.
Many demonic powerhouses had gathered at the border of the Immortal Chu Dynasty, confronting them.
Chu Xia's identity being exposed would likely draw the attention of the Demon Court's powerhouses.
Uncle Fu had long harbored such suspicions and concerns.
However, he hadn't expected the Demon Court's powerhouse to arrive so quickly—so fast that it felt almost unbelievable, as if they had been waiting in the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain all along.
Otherwise, how could they have arrived so swiftly?
"Uncle Fu, what's happening?"
Chu Xia, still unaware of the impending danger, looked somewhat confused.
The void before them blurred as a massive rift appeared. Uncle Fu grabbed Chu Xia and Chu Xiao'er, stepping into it.
"To think there's such a terrifying Dao Realm powerhouse here..."
"The Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain and the Endless Demon Domain are separated by an immense distance, billions of light-years apart. How did they receive this news so quickly?"
Uncle Fu's expression was grave. He had no time to explain anything to Chu Xia.
He had a strange feeling, as if some unseen force was watching and scheming against them.
Chu Xia had just caused a commotion in Purple Return City, and before the night was even over, a demonic powerhouse had arrived.
There was no doubt—they were here for Chu Xia.
"The Young Master's fate has been obscured by the ruler's intervention. He also carries a mysterious Primordial Chaos Jade, which would show anomalies if someone tried to scheme against him."
"Moreover, with me by his side, if anyone tried to plot against him, I would have noticed."
"Could this really just be a coincidence?"
Nothing is absolute, and Uncle Fu wasn't skilled in divination. At this moment, he had no time to think further and could only focus on helping Chu Xia escape.
*Boom!!!*
The boundless demonic energy blotted out the sky, pushing in from the distant horizon, completely obscuring the stars.
The world was plunged into darkness, with only those cold, blood-like eyes towering high, as if they filled the entire heavens and earth.
Demonic mist churned as Di Kun stood within it, his figure towering and majestic, his faint outline comparable to a mountain range.
"I've already sensed your aura. Where do you think you can escape to?"
"Chu Gucheng has underestimated the Demon Court, allowing the Immortal Chu Dynasty to kill my ninth brother. Today, they must pay the price."
He spoke coldly, his tone devoid of emotion, as if pronouncing judgment on some living being.
Countless cultivators and beings trembled in fear, the entire Purple Return City shaking.
Even the ancient Immortal Emperors who had been in seclusion for years were filled with terror, their backs drenched in cold sweat. The moment those eyes swept over them, their bodies turned cold, and their souls trembled.
This was the might of a Dao Realm existence—a single glance could cleanse the past and present, piercing through all secrets. Nothing could remain hidden from those eyes.
No one had expected a powerhouse from the Demon Court to arrive at this moment, and his identity was likely one of the Demon Court's princes.
The war between the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Demon Court had shaken the world.
Even in the distant Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain, almost all cultivators and beings knew about it.
Now, Di Kun had revealed himself, descending upon Purple Return City to locate and kill Chu Xia, shocking and terrifying everyone.
On the jade boat floating in the center of Purple Return River, wisps of mist rose, creating a hazy atmosphere.
Gu Changge stood at the bow, his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering as if he were about to ride the wind.
He gazed at the distant scene, a faint smile playing on his lips.
Di Kun had indeed not disappointed him, arriving in Purple Return City at the first opportunity. It hadn't been a waste of effort.
The Immortal Chu Dynasty was determined to avoid the calamity, but Gu Changge wouldn't let them have their way.
The chaos engulfing the Prime-Origin Civilization should have originated from the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
Although the Demon Court and the Immortal Chu Dynasty were at war, the scale of destruction and karmic debt was far from enough.
Neither side had truly escalated the conflict, so a catalyst was needed.
The Demon Ancestor had lost a son and was furious, mobilizing numerous demonic armies to confront the Immortal Chu Dynasty.
If Chu Gucheng's son were to die here, the already fragile balance would collapse completely.
At that point, the war between the Immortal Chu Dynasty and the Demon Court would inevitably spread to the other forces of the Prime-Origin Civilization. No one would be able to remain neutral.
Once the Prime-Origin Civilization descended into chaos, it would be like carving a massive breach in a long dam for Gu Changge.
Taking control of the entire Prime-Origin Civilization would only be a matter of time.
The Prime-Origin Civilization was different from the Immortal Spirit Civilization. Once he controlled this supreme civilization, it would mean he had placed the most crucial and stable move on the chessboard.
Many of his plans and schemes would become much easier to execute.
Those cold, blood-like eyes loomed high in the sky.
Strands of crimson light intertwined, as if constructing a supreme law. The entire world and space-time seemed to freeze.
Di Kun could pinpoint Chu Xia and Uncle Fu's location. Although he wasn't the strongest among the Demon Ancestor's children, he was still formidable, having survived six Heavenly Tribulations and nearing the Ancestral Dao Realm.
Although the Southern Wilderness Ancient Domain was vast, with his strength, his divine sense could locate Chu Xia in an instant.
In the next moment, the sky trembled like thin paper. Endless demonic energy surged as Di Kun raised his hand, pressing down on a specific area, intending to obliterate it.
The entire universe seemed to blur as chains of Great Dao laws rose and fell like lone boats in a storm, becoming transparent under Di Kun's power.
A certain area suddenly became illuminated, its space-time seemingly imprisoned.
Uncle Fu, who was fleeing with Chu Xia, was revealed.
His expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected the newcomer to be a prince of the Demon Court, a powerhouse whose strength far surpassed his own.
All the cultivators and beings in Purple Return City watched in shock.
Such god-like methods could only be performed by a Dao Realm existence.
The heavens and earth in that area were collapsing and trembling under Di Kun's gaze, the entire sky shaking in response.
