Tang Longfei would naturally not die. Xiang Shaoyun's arrival was enough to guarantee that the man-eating devil wouldn't be able to do much. Even the Devil Gods in the area could be killed with a mere snap of his fingers. When Tang Longfei woke up, he found that he had fully healed from his injuries. When he saw Xiang Shaoyun beside him, he asked, "Overlord, am I dreaming?"
"Big Brother Tang, did something really happen to Uncle Tang?" asked Xiang Shaoyun.
At that question, Tang Longfei gripped his hair and said painfully, "Damn those devils! A day will come when I destroy all of them!"
The answer was clear.
Xiang Shaoyun sighed. "My condolences. Uncle Tang's biggest wish is for you to become stronger than him. You need to survive and stay strong."
"Don't worry. I will live on. Without my father, I would have been killed already. Damn the Celestial Alliance. They did not even bother sending any help, yet my father was foolishly trying to protect this place. How hateful!" roared Tang Longfei indignantly.
"Just stay with me from now on," said Xiang Shaoyun calmly.
Tang Longfei did not have any other choice. He was taken into Xiang Shaoyun's astral cosmos sea. Next, Xiang Shaoyun headed to the Peach Blossom Island. He wasn't in the mood to clear all the devils in the area. He still had many other things to do.
He wanted to persuade Wu Xie to leave seclusion. He also wanted to get an update on Ye Chaomu's current condition. When he arrived, he found that the Peach Blossom Island had been sealed by layer upon layer of defenses. Not even he could easily enter.
He shouted loudly but got no reply. He was certain that Wu Xie was probably not around. Of course, he did not think that anything could happen to Wu Xie. As for Ye Chaomu, she was probably with Wu Xie already. His next destination was the Dusk Dynasty. At the same time, he released Huang Baiwu from his astral cosmos sea.
Huang Baiwu had followed him all these years and had maintained a very low profile. It wasn't because of his weak strength but because he shouldered an important mission. He was in charge of protecting Xiang Shaoyun's followers. Without him, people like Xia Liuhui, Liang Zhuangmin, and Lady Shura would probably have perished on the outside domain battlefield.
Huang Baiwu's silent sacrifice had allowed them to survive. That was a command Xiang Shaoyun had given him, and he had done his job faithfully. In the numerous battles, Huang Baiwu had encountered many situations where aliens had nearly killed him. Fortunately, he was able to survive.
Some time ago, Xiang Shaoyun had taken Huang Baiwu into the astral cosmos sea to cultivate. Huang Baiwu lived up to his reputation as someone previously listed on the Saintly Forest Ranking. He grew rapidly, entering ninth-stage God Realm before Xiang Yangzhan.
One could say that Huang Baiwu had turned into Xiang Shaoyun's hidden left hand. His position was already equal to that of Purple Lightning Marquis. Xiang Shaoyun brought Huang Baiwu back to the Dusk Dynasty because he was worried about the emperor emeritus and Huang Xiaoyue. He wondered if they had survived the devils' onslaught.
When they arrived at the Dusk Dynasty's former territory, they saw that the area was filled with devilish energy. Countless devils roamed the place, turning the place into their land.
"The realm boundary has truly been broken. We can no longer stop the devils from living in the dominion," said Xiang Shaoyun with a sigh.
"Emperor emeritus and the others..." Huang Baiwu clenched his fists furiously.
"The Saintly Forest Courtyard has deep and unmeasurable strength. They even have Old Xie there. I believe they will be fine," said Xiang Shaoyun.
"No matter what, I must go down there and take a look myself," said Huang Baiwu.
"Go, then," said Xiang Shaoyun.
Huang Baiwu rushed over rapidly. Immediately, some devils appeared and attacked him. Huang Baiwu did not hold back and speedily destroyed the group of devils before heading toward the Saintly Forest Courtyard.
His rash charge had naturally attracted the more powerful devils. After all, this place had turned into the devils' headquarters. Huang Baiwu proved his prowess and valor in battle by killing more than ten Devil Gods all by himself. Only a ninth-stage Devil God was able to pose some threat to him.
While Huang Baiwu was battling the devils, Xiang Shaoyun noiselessly headed toward the Saintly Forest Courtyard while in concealment. As a One Revolution expert, when Xiang Shaoyun concealed himself, he could hide from even some devils with unique eye abilities. He was able to stay undetected as he approached.
Soon, he arrived at the Saintly Forest Courtyard's location only to find that the spatial seal had gone missing. In fact, everything seemed to have gone missing. With a frown, Xiang Shaoyun placed a random Devil God in the area under his control.
That eighth-stage Devil God stood no chance against him. In fact, the devil was transformed into Xiang Shaoyun's puppet without even realizing it. From the devil, Xiang Shaoyun learned that the Saintly Forest Courtyard had vanished after the devils had conquered this territory.
When it was clear that the devil didn't know much either, Xiang Shaoyun decided to stop thinking about it. He believed that the Saintly Forest Courtyard would be able to survive this disaster.
He then sent a Devil God to where Huang Baiwu was fighting the other Devil Gods. He also transmitted to Huang Baiwu, "Retreat immediately."
Huang Baiwu obeyed unconditionally and retreated rapidly. Instantly, the devil under Xiang Shaoyun's control self-detonated beside Huang Baiwu's previous opponents.
The terrifying explosion caught the devils by complete surprise. Some were outright killed, while some were seriously injured. The explosion was so massive that the experts battling on other battlefields noticed it.
After witnessing the strength of Baili Xiongshi and Kong Pingfan, Xiang Shaoyun no longer thought himself undefeatable. With Huang Baiwu in tow, he rushed toward the human territory.
A large number of humans had gathered near the devil territory. Gongsun Yingxiong himself had personally come to hold the line. They did not dare to look down on the devils. As for Lu Jiang, who had once assisted Xiang Shaoyun, the devils had killed him during their initial invasion.
When Xiang Shaoyun reached the human territory, he sensed many powerful auras. Many Gods were stationed there, and he could even vaguely sense the auras of some super expert.
Xiang Shaoyun and Huang Baiwu were discovered the moment they arrived. Nobody stopped them as everyone knew who Xiang Shaoyun was by now. Tales of his feats during his years on the outside domain battlefield had spread throughout the dominion. Of course, there were still some blind imbeciles looking for trouble with him.
"This is an important military camp. How dare you intrude on us as you wish? Leave!"
