Chapter 2892: Refusing the Summons
Quan Yingyang had always believed that the death of Quan Xizai was orchestrated by either the Yu Family or the Ape Family. He was unable to produce evidence, and with the Spider Family mediating, the matter had to be left unresolved.
His uproar in Mo Yun City was not just a chance to voice grievances; it was also to execute the will of the Heavenly Demon Lu Ximing and probe the reality of The Sky Sloth Wilderness. However, his anger at that time was indeed genuine.
Later, through Quan Shouzeng’s investigation, it was discovered that the Five Zhu Emperor’s Coins carried by Quan Xizai’s personal guard had circulated into Chai Asi’s hands. Chai Asi bore a blood feud with the Dog Family.
This setup for a story of a Canine Clan youth silently plotting revenge for years began to subtly come together.
He didn’t possess the direct ability to intervene in the Shenxiao World like some Heavenly Demons, nor did anyone patiently explain the situation inside to him, like who Jiang Wang was hiding behind, under what identity he was exposed, or how he was revealed…
After Wu Xie beyond the heavens, the methods of the Heavenly Demons had to withdraw. He was utterly in the dark about the situation in the Shenxiao World.
When he was summoned near God Enthronement Platform to enter the Shenxiao World, he first learned of the name Jiang Wang.
Lu Ximing could not secretly pass any information to him in front of other Heavenly Demons. It had to be implied without spoken words.
Immediately upon entering the Shenxiao World, he was ambushed by Xiong Sansi of the newly formed Spirit Clan. Soon after, he discovered Chai Asi, but hastened to chase Jiang Wang to protect Lu Qilang, choosing not to immediately punish this demon, but left some small measures on this Gale Killing Sword for later torment.
He never imagined that in Jiang Wang, he would encounter Quan Xizai’s Demon Mark!
This vertical eye representing Quan Xizai’s innate Divine Skills, this eye demonstrating Quan Xizai’s potential, was used as a hidden weapon by Jiang Wang, wrapped with Divine Skills, attacked… only to be shattered by his own hand.
The last trace of Quan Xizai in this world disappeared like that.
And in addition to his fury, he had to remain wary of the “Curse Killing” Jiang Wang spoke of!
Quan Xizai was Quan Yingyang’s blood descendant; there were many ways to implicate him using Quan Xizai’s remains.
Given Jiang Wang’s fame as a human genius, who knows what hidden techniques he might possess that could threaten a True Monster—it was partly why he opted for pressure over direct confrontation in previous battles.
His insight into this vertical eye might have been completed almost instantly. It turned out he had done unnecessary work; there was nothing affixed to this vertical eye capable of affecting him.
But this unnecessary step caused him to miss the opportunity to stop Jiang Wang’s escape!
Jiang Wang, with the help of the Knowledge and Hearing Bell, had grasped the possibility of reaching The Other Shore, stepping onto the bridge extending from Shenxiao Wu An City to Civilization Basin Wu An City.
That was a unique connection between the two cities, a certain possibility within the Shenxiao World.
Now Jiang Wang stood within the profound [possibility], not in the tangible [space-time].
Even a True Monster like Quan Xizai could only watch helplessly!
But in the Shenxiao World, there wasn’t only the True Monster of contemporary times, not just Quan Xizai.
Upon that Divine Mountain, the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar’s flames reached the sky. A phantom of that mighty city was about to transition from illusion to reality—constructing a majestic city wasn’t so simple. But if this phantom truly descended, then the laws of the current world would find root here!
Much like the Civilization Basin to the Monster Realm.
Moreover, if Shenxiao Wu An City and Civilization Basin Wu An City established a link, human experts would have an entrance to influence the Shenxiao World. Jiang Wang, dwelling in possibilities, could be escorted away by human experts.
Yet at this moment…
Tiger Taisui, engaged in never-ending carnage of the Gods challenge, suddenly twisted back! A God Slayer needing merely a glance swept over him, he deliberately reached into obscurities, grasping that trajectory within the shadows, clutching the bridge… about to reach The Other Shore.
And forcibly tore it back, wiping it away!
Though it cannot be measured in distance, for comparative description, this bridge extended from Shenxiao World Wu An City to Civilization Basin Wu An City, possibly lacking only a few thousand yards. The long bridge was near completion, but the beam broke here, never to be restored.
Pursuing the hidden possibilities discovered by Knowledge and Hearing Bell, immediately intervening and forcibly erasing that possibility—such a task could not be accomplished without the vision befitting a Heavenly Demon.
And even with the vision of a Heavenly Demon, Tiger Taisui’s mere grasp caused the body he manipulated through Zhu Xuan to sharply weaken, wrinkles even forming at the corner of his eyes!
Internal conflicts within the Demon clan stay contained. Involving the human race complicates matters.
This was why he postponed God Slaying to sever the bridge.
Simultaneously as he acted, the Gods of the Sea of Ten Thousand Gods tacitly paused their attacks upon him, surging towards the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar, instantly rending the Faceless God asunder, extinguishing the burning flames of the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar once more.
The city phantom suspended above the Heaven Demon Dharma Altar, like bubbles shattered by the wind.
Human civilization failed to take root in this world.
“Uh… ho… ah…”
Almost neglected, Xiong Sansi, collapsed amid the sea of clouds, yet due to Tiger Taisui’s force couldn’t fall down, curled into a ball, spasming incessantly. But with one right eye, he fixedly stared at the city’s disappearance, issuing sounds of extreme anguish from his throat…
