The pilot's face turned red, his hands gripping his neck tightly, his eyes bloodshot, filled with the agony of pain. He wanted to speak, but his mouth could only open with difficulty, emitting not a single sound. Finally, he died in immense suffering.
The transport plane, lacking human control, plummeted from the sky.
Watching the falling transport plane, Yong Huo nodded with satisfaction, the disgust on his face significantly lessened.
To be honest, as one of the mutated creatures, Yong Huo also hated humans. However, being a highly intelligent mutated creature, Yong Huo was very rational. He knew very well that with humanity's current strength, numbers, and technological level, if mutated creatures were to wage war against humans, the only outcome would be self-destruction.
"Indeed, Father is good to us, with his far-sighted plans."
Thinking this, Yong Huo's body gradually entered the Shadow Kingdom. When he emerged again, the sight before him was a sea of flowers. San Sha stood in the center of the flower sea, while Bai Qi stood far outside.
"Father."
Yong Huo walked forward and said softly.
"Hmm."
Bai Qi nodded.
"These undead gods really went to great lengths to seal Di Kui."
It wasn't unreasonable for Bai Qi to say this. In the past, among the eight demons, Di Kui caused the most damage to the world and humanity.
The eight demons each had their own temperaments. Holy Lord and Xiao Feng were relatively rational. Xi Mu preferred freedom and spent most of his time in his tower palace, having minimal impact on the humans in his territory. Ba Sha and Zhou Lan were even more so, one in the sea, the other on the moon, completely disconnected from the humans on the ground.
Bo Gang, though a bit foolish, loved to eat and would do anything for food.
Zhong Su had a bad temper and enjoyed summoning lightning to strike people for fun.
But in terms of their impact on humans, the other seven demons combined couldn't compare to Di Kui.
Di Kui, known as a stubborn fool among the demons, loved to burrow underground and build his subterranean palaces everywhere.
Wherever Di Kui went, the earth churned, birds and beasts scattered, the land became barren, and nothing could grow, causing the most severe harm to humans.
Therefore, after sealing Di Kui, the undead gods also set up a barrier around his hellgate. These flowers might look ordinary, but each one carried righteous energy. When gathered together, even Bai Qi dared not approach carelessly. Even standing outside, the righteous energy emanating from within made Bai Qi very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, A Fen, in his impulsiveness, walked into the flower sea and inadvertently plucked a crucial flower, thus breaking the original barrier.
"Lord, should we open the hellgate now?"
A Fen called out to Bai Qi from afar.
Before Bai Qi could reply, a familiar voice was heard from the distance.
"Cannot open!"
Looking in the direction of the voice, a convertible off-road vehicle appeared. The driver was none other than Chen Long.
Seeing this, Bai Qi quickly turned his head and ordered San Sha, "Open the gate quickly!"
With that said, he turned and unleashed a dragon's breath towards the off-road vehicle.
"Ah!"
Seeing the surging dragon's breath, Chen Long's face turned pale with fright. He quickly swerved the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to shake violently, narrowly avoiding the attack.
"As expected."
Seeing Chen Long dodge his dragon's breath, Bai Qi was not too surprised. After all, the other party was the protagonist. The barrier behind them had also been damaged, causing righteous energy to leak out and affect him significantly.
But it didn't matter. After blocking a magic wave from his father, Bai Qi exerted force with his legs and shot out like a dragon, instantly appearing before Chen Long. He raised his arm and easily stopped the speeding off-road vehicle.
"Chen Long, you're still as persistent as ever."
Facing the Holy Lord, Chen Long dared not be careless. He quickly shifted gears, stomped on the accelerator, and the off-road vehicle's four wheels spun rapidly as it retreated.
"Go, hold them back."
Seeing Chen Long and the others retreating, Bai Qi didn't pursue. Instead, he summoned a large number of Shadow Ninjas and ordered them to hold back Chen Long, while he himself returned the way he came.
On the other side, San Sha had already taken out the Pan Ku Treasure Box.
Guided by magic, the Pan Ku Treasure Box shot out a green beam of light, directly striking a stubborn rock not far away.
Under the green light, the surface of the rock changed, revealing a keyhole. The Pan Ku Treasure Box then slowly ascended and flew towards the keyhole.
At this moment, a chill ran down La Su's back. He suddenly turned his head and scanned the surroundings, but found nothing amiss.
"What's wrong, La Su?"
"I feel like someone is hiding here."
"A hallucination, brother. Don't be too nervous. It's not like this is our first time doing this."
"Perhaps."
As soon as La Su finished speaking, he felt an intense heat on his back. He turned to see a dragon's breath spraying towards him.
Instantly, La Su was dumbfounded. Not just La Su, but Zhou and A Fen were equally bewildered. Their first reaction was that the Holy Lord was going to silence them, but then it didn't make sense. If he killed them, who would help him find the key to the Pan Ku Treasure Box and the hellgate?
Ultimately, the dragon's breath did not reach the three of them, only sweeping across the flower sea in front of them.
"Come out."
Looking at the bewildered San Sha, Bai Qi's lips curved slightly as he said, "Don't make me do it myself."
A few seconds later, a small figure stood up from amidst the flowers, looking at Bai Qi with a face full of lingering fear.
This person was none other than Xiao Yu.
It turned out that when Bai Qi had approached and stopped the off-road vehicle, he had noticed only Chen Long and Old Man at the car. Xiao Yu was not in the vehicle.
Perhaps feeling that facing the Holy Lord directly was too dangerous, Chen Long hadn't brought Xiao Yu along. But Bai Qi knew that given Xiao Yu's personality, even if she wasn't brought, she would secretly follow. Therefore, as Chen Long and Old Man drove away, Bai Qi dispatched Shadow Ninjas to intercept them while he returned to the outside of the barrier.
As Bai Qi and Xiao Yu made eye contact, several clawed mutated creatures emerged from the shadows behind Bai Qi, entered the flower sea, surrounded Xiao Yu, and quickly subdued her, bringing her before him.
The flower sea barrier was protected by righteous energy magic. Bai Qi, being a son of dark energy, would absolutely be repelled by the barrier. However, mutated creatures were different. They were the product of gene mutation and recombination. Strictly speaking, they had no good or evil alignment, so the barrier did not reject their entry.
"How did you find me?"
Looking at Bai Qi before her, Xiao Yu was filled with confusion.
To avoid being discovered, Xiao Yu had cast multiple spells to conceal her aura. Why was she still spotted by the Holy Lord at a glance? Sudan Novel Network
"I didn't," Bai Qi shook his head and said, "I just breathed fire casually and got lucky."
Well... okay, Xiao Yu had walked right into a trap this time.
Although Xiao Yu had lived under the same roof as Bai Qi for a period, she was not the true Xiao Yu in the end. Facing Bai Qi in his true form, Xiao Yu was now filled with more fear than anything else.
