Long before Immortal Wanshou entrusted him with this task, Qin Zheng had a vague premonition.
That was also why he insisted on choosing to confront a Celestial of the Xie Family.
The actions of Immortal Wanshou were like a test.
And after the confrontation, he could directly determine whether the other party had been possessed by Demonic Nature through the Merit Scroll!
At this moment, the result surfaced in his heart.
Qin Zheng only felt that a storm was about to come!
Within the territories of the Human race, an existence of Celestial Immortal Rank, was infiltrated by the Heart Demon, its Demonic Nature taking root, all without a trace!
And the concealment was so impeccable!
Could there be others who had been invaded by the Heart Demon, disguised and remaining undetected?
After all, even Celestials could be infiltrated, could the rest really avoid it?
If that was the case, how many within the Human race were infected, wearing human skins as Great Demons?!
At this moment, the invasion of Wancheng Demon Nation was at its peak, while the Human race was already at a disadvantage.
If these people infiltrated by the Heart Demon were to betray at a critical moment!
Or to say, during a key battle, they suddenly switched sides!
The blow to the Human race would be catastrophic!
Fortunately, it seemed that powerful beings like Immortal Wanshou were already aware of this situation.
Therefore, he should first deal with the Great Demon in front of him, then quickly inform the Human race’s powerhouses in the Lingxu Realm!
All these thoughts flashed through Qin Zheng’s mind in an instant.
Then, with a subtle nod, he kept his expression unreadable to the person opposite him and continued, "I guess you won’t go, will you?"
As soon as these words came out.
Savagery almost burst forth from the eyes of the Celestial of the Xie Family.
However, at this critical moment, he still managed to suppress his emotions, then scoffed coldly and said, "Immortal Wanshou? Heavenly Pond?"
"What is he, that I, a being of the Realm of Celestial Immortal, should heed his call to the Heavenly Pond just because he demands it?"
"Why don’t you turn around, go back, and tell him to take a trip to the Heavenly Pond himself before he says such things!"
Qin Zheng said nothing but slowly extended his right hand, with threads of Open Heaven’s intent entwined around it.
Seeing this posture, the Celestial of the Xie Family frowned and chided, "Since you are here only to deliver a message, I will not hold you accountable. Take your people and leave quickly!"
Without responding, Qin Zheng formed the Heaven-opening Seal with his hand and took a step forward.
At the same time, within the Inner Heaven and Earth, the Tree of Dao swayed gently, and a leaf lightly fell.
The power of this seal increased exponentially in an instant!
Immediately, the Celestial of the Xie Family’s face changed dramatically, and he turned to flee.
But the Heaven-opening Seal was like a force that truly opened the heavens and earth, unstoppable, and struck him on the top of his head in an instant.
In an instant, the world was enveloped in white light!
After what felt like eternity.
Gu Qingyue opened her eyes.
And saw a figure rushing towards her rapidly.
Just as a sense of alertness rose in her heart, she realized the figure was vaguely familiar.
A calm voice sounded in her ear.
There, the figure in the Gold-Patterned Profound Robe was holding a sinister head, walking past her side.
Gu Qingyue’s expression immediately became solemn.
That head... was it the Celestial of the Xie Family?!
In an instant, a feeling called ’absurdity’ completely surrounded her.
Her expression was blank, somewhat at a loss.
A big hand waved in front of her face.
She turned her head in a daze.
To see Qi Yuan grinning smugly, raising an eyebrow, and saying, "Was I not right?"
