Gongye Hong looked at Wei Chen with a worried expression, filled with self-reproach and guilt.
Seeing Gongye Hong's anxious demeanor, Wei Chen weakly raised his hand, forcing a smile as he said, "That old fellow had an attack infused with flames; I almost got killed. But don’t worry, I can still hang on for a while."
"Don't talk yet. I’ll take you to the Temple of Martial Arts. There are plenty of Elixirs inside; just hold on."
Gongye Hong whistled, and Snow Eagle came running over. She mounted Snow Eagle and called out to Wei Chen, "Get on! Are you planning to stay tied up?"
Hearing her words, Wei Chen rolled his eyes in resignation. "I don't have any strength left."
Gongye Hong paused for a moment, then jumped off Snow Eagle and landed beside Wei Chen.
Suddenly, her face flushed, and she bit her lip slightly. "Do you want me to carry you?"
Wei Chen was at a loss for words.
Gongye Hong pouted in frustration, squatted down, hesitated for a moment, then steeled herself and picked up Wei Chen, flying onto Snow Eagle's back and securing him with soft cloth.
She suddenly asked, "What do you want to eat right now?"
"Let’s hurry up. If we delay any longer, I might not make it," Wei Chen replied.
Gongye Hong nodded. "Once we reach the Temple of Martial Arts, I'll prepare some venison for you. Just rest well."
Wei Chen softly acknowledged her with a hum, feeling a strange sense of gratitude rising within him.
"This girl still remembers my venison after all this time. I really wonder what she learned at the Temple of Martial Arts; after all, I'm the hostage she kidnapped!"
"Seeing my serious injuries, she didn't ask me what happened afterward, nor did she inquire about how that old man died. Instead, she graciously carried me up the Snow Eagle, regardless of any gender concerns..."
"With such a kind nature, how could her elders trust her to carry out missions?"
Wei Chen pondered for a moment before gently closing his eyes, feeling the surrounding sounds of the wind, his mood gradually settling.
However, the memories of the previous Wei Chen left him with an inexplicable sense of unease.
From those memories, he learned that within the Endless Divine Realm, the Supreme God was not actually the most powerful being. The true strongest entity was known as the Bloodshed Shop!
It seemed that organization was not even a force within the Endless Divine Realm...
This meant that beyond the Endless Divine Realm, there existed an even more formidable Spatial Plane?
How terrifying that was!
Wei Chen gradually felt his insignificance; even if he were not insignificant, his previous pride in the Demon Domain paled in comparison to the emergence of the Bloodshed Shop.
The Bloodshed Shop, the most powerful force in the Endless Divine Realm, was a presence that even the Eighteen Supreme Gods feared!
"Why not ask Gongye Hong? She must have considerable knowledge about the Bloodshed Shop while at the Temple of Martial Arts."
Wei Chen looked at Gongye Hong, her delicate figure evoking sympathy.
A Fifth-Level Deity, attuned to the essence of breath. When Gongye Hong sensed someone watching her from behind, she turned to look at Wei Chen.
"Hello, Wei Chen, are you feeling better?"
"No, I wanted to ask you how much you know about the Bloodshed Shop organization?"
"Bloodshed Shop?"
Gongye Hong's face was filled with shock, mixed with a hint of fear. "Are the people from Bloodshed Shop trying to kill you? Or your father?"
"No, I'm just curious."
Upon hearing this, Gongye Hong secretly sighed in relief. "All I know is that this organization seems to have been established by some big shots from above. They do things for money; as long as the payment is sufficient, they won't hesitate to kill even top-tier experts."
"Above? The world mentioned in legends?"
"Maybe, but it could also be an even higher realm. I don't know much about Bloodshed Shop, and honestly, one can't know too much unless they're part of it. Those who learn too much tend to end up dead."
...
As Wei Chen continued to talk with Gongye Hong, he learned more information.
Above the Endless Divine Realm, there exists a Spatial Plane known as Sanctuary. This world is incredibly powerful, far stronger than the Endless Divine Realm, which is subordinate to that Spatial Plane.
At first, Wei Chen didn't understand. Logically speaking, the Endless Divine Realm should be the most powerful Spatial Plane in this universe; how could there be something even stronger?
But in reality, Sanctuary was not just a legend; it truly existed.
The law of Gongye Hong seemed to suggest that the world, the so-called Sanctuary, and even the stronger Spatial Plane were not part of the Endless Divine Realm universe...
That was a supreme domain of another universe!
Two days later, the Snow Eagle flew into the western region of the Southern Ming Divine Domain, specifically the Snow Ridge Mountains.
The Snow Ridge Mountains were an endless expanse of snow-capped peaks, with occasional valleys where some snow pines grew, rarely visited by humans. However, deep within the Snow Ridge Mountains stood the most powerful force in the Southern Ming Divine Domain: the Temple of Martial Arts!
The Temple of Martial Arts governed the Cloud Spirit Sect within the Southern Ming Divine Domain. Each faction of the Cloud Spirit Sect had its members stationed there long-term. The power of the Temple of Martial Arts was such that even the Supreme God of the Southern Ming Divine Domain treated it with utmost caution, not daring to offend it lightly. Unlike the Privy Hall, the Temple of Martial Arts never interfered in the political affairs of the Southern Ming Divine Domain. The factions of the Cloud Spirit Sect also lived in seclusion, rarely venturing out within the Southern Ming Divine Domain.
"We're almost there; are you alright?" Gongye Hong pointed to the highest perilous peak in the center of the Snow Ridge Mountains and asked Wei Chen with concern. The temperature had dropped so drastically; she feared Wei Chen might not be able to handle it.
Wei Chen focused his gaze on a straight peak that pierced into the clouds, its summit shrouded in mist, resembling a realm of immortals. He couldn't help but admire it silently; no wonder the Temple of Martial Arts located at Snow Peak was so hard to attack—it was easy to defend and difficult to conquer. It made sense why it was a thorn in the side of the Supreme God of Southern Ming Divine Domain!
"I'm fine; I just wonder if your people from the Temple of Martial Arts will expend effort to save me," Wei Chen replied with a smile.
Seeing Wei Chen's smile and his handsome face still striking despite being burned by fire poison, Gongye Hong nodded heavily. "Don't worry; I will ask the Master of the Hall to personally heal you."
Wei Chen gently nodded, his face filled with a relaxed expression.
What occupied his mind was how to incite chaos within the Southern Ming Divine Domain, from which he could benefit and obtain the Kunlun Mirror to leave as soon as possible. As for Bloodshed Shop or another universe, he couldn't care less; he only wanted to return to the Ancient World and seal off the Ancient World Spatial Dimension System to protect his family.
The path of cultivation is endless, and one grows stronger step by step. Now, facing those legendary powerhouses, there is only one word: death.
As Wei Chen's spirit wandered outside his body, Snow Eagle carried him through layers of scrutiny, slipping into the clouds and landing atop Snow Peak.
Before him stood the most powerful Temple of Martial Arts in the Southern Ming Divine Domain.
He had yet to admire the intricately carved pavilions of the Temple of Martial Arts when an old man, accompanied by a group of people, surrounded him. "Take this bastard away!"
"Elder Liu, what do you mean by this? He is clearly my guest, and it is only right that I take him to meet the Master of the Hall!" Gongye Hong shouted angrily.
"Presumptuous! Gongye Hong, you are merely a junior; where is your respect? Is this how your grandfather taught you?" Elder Liu sneered, gathering his hands into claws and generating a force that pulled Wei Chen toward him.
When Wei Chen was brought before him, he saw a pair of icy eyes filled with a fierce murderous intent—blood-red eyes!
"Bastard, what are you looking at? I'll gouge out your eyes!" Elder Liu was startled by Wei Chen's gaze and couldn't help but fly into a rage. He extended two fingers from his right hand and viciously jabbed toward Wei Chen's eyes.
"Don't!" Gongye Hong shouted as she stepped forward, ready to draw her sword. However, she saw Wei Chen's body retreating like a ghost. His hand shot to his waist, swiftly drawing a slender soft sword.
"You old bastard, you're asking for death!"
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Wei Chen raised his hand and struck swiftly!
The soft sword moved like a venomous snake striking out, producing a series of sharp sounds as dozens of sword shadows erupted, making it impossible to discern which strike was real!
Elder Liu swung his blade to block, but his eyes were filled with horror. He realized he could not distinguish which was the Phantom and which was the real sword!
In that instant, he felt disoriented.
"Ah!"
Elder Liu let out a chilling scream as everyone watched Wei Chen's sword, moving at an impossibly strange angle, evade Elder Liu's blade and strike at his shoulder, severing his right arm completely!
"You dare!"
What a sight Elder Liu was! Ignoring the fact that his right arm was entirely gone, he roared furiously. Suddenly, his left arm trembled violently, causing his robe to shred apart. The veins on his left arm bulged out, turning blood-red in an instant, resembling a massive crimson serpent emanating a terrifying aura.
"I will kill you!"
Elder Liu shouted angrily, leaning slightly back as the strength from his waist and abdomen surged through his muscles into his arm. He gathered all his power and Divine Power into a single punch aimed directly at Wei Chen.
A fist imbued with the venomous essence of Divine Power shot from Elder Liu's arm, instantly crashing into Wei Chen's abdomen. Despite Wei Chen swinging dozens of swords at that moment, he could not counter the force of that powerful punch. His body’s Divine Realm was simply not high enough.
The full-force strike from the Fifth Level Divine Pinnacle Realm gathered an unimaginable amount of power, sending Wei Chen flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth. He soared several hundred meters like a cannonball before crashing into a stone pillar in front of the Temple of Martial Arts, collapsing amidst the rubble and twitching for a few moments.
"Elder Liu, just wait until I report this to the Master of the Hall and strip you of your elder position!" Gongye Hong roared at Elder Liu. Seeing the mocking disdain on Elder Liu's face made her lose her composure. She quickly flew to Wei Chen's side and reached out to check his neck.
Gongye Hong paused for a moment before reaching to the other side of Wei Chen's neck, feeling for the carotid artery.
Is he dead?
Gongye Hong sat down on the ground, staring blankly at Wei Chen, her eyes suddenly turning red as she recalled all the times he had ordered her around during their journey.
"How could you just die so casually? I haven't even cooked deer meat for you yet!"
"The people from Privy Hall, it must have been you who killed them, right? Your swordsmanship is so strong. Why didn't you resist when I captured you?"
Gongye Hong's mind echoed with the memory of the Duke Sui's Residence, where she had knocked out Wei Chen's guard and rushed into his room, witnessing everything.
She remembered a young boy, with a pair of eyes that held a hint of laughter and scrutiny, yet were clear and pure.
"Miss, are you here to kidnap me? Let me make this clear: I live in luxury at Duke Sui's Residence. If you take me away, according to the recognized terms for captives in Dalu, you must meet my demands for food and lodging."
"Miss, I want to eat tiger meat. Can you kill one for me?"
"Miss, I sense a bear nearby. Can you kill it for me?"
"Sister, I want to eat deer meat, but it seems there isn't any around. Could you go buy some for me?"
...
Wei Chen's voice and smile seemed to linger before her. Gongye Hong suddenly realized that the boy before her, now devoid of life, had been so unassuming. No wonder he could sense the approach of Privy Hall's people ahead of time and detect the presence of tigers and bears.
"I almost got killed by the people from Privy Hall; it was you who saved my life!"
