Hearing Lu Jingfeng’s words, a murderous intent flashed in Devil Emperor Dugu’s eyes.
Their eyes met, and they could see through each other’s thoughts.
”If you were to obstruct me, I will dissipate your soul,” Lu Jingfeng said indifferently. He raised his hand slowly, and a beam of the light shot came from his palm, condensing into a lightsaber.
He walked toward the peak with eyes fixed on Devil Emperor Dugu.
He found Devil Emperor Dugu when he landed in the Northern Wilderness Region and was surprised that Dugu was still alive. Thus, he did not begin the massacre immediately and first met Dugu.
The Northern Wilderness Region had given birth to too many powerful cultivators. It also hid many secrets.
Under the oppression of so many factions previously, it was not pure coincidence that the Northern Wilderness Region had still survived.
”Does the Xuan Court have a grudge against the Northern Wilderness Region? Why should you become a tool for them to use,” Devil Emperor Dugu said casually without losing his composure.
Strands of demonic aura streamed out from his body and formed a demonic cloud that stopped the snow from falling.
Lu Jingfeng stared at him and said, “It’s not a grudge. I just don’t like the Demonic Emperor. Let me give you a chance. Submit to me and I will let you live.”
Devil Emperor Dugu had extraordinary talents and even shocked the entire Center God Province before.
The Xuan Court had wanted to loop him in back then but had no opportunity. Now that the Xuan Court was kicked out of the Center God Province by the Heavenly Saint, Lu Jingfeng began wondering. By chance, he had found the Northern Wilderness Region.
He quickly decided to kill all the Northern Wilderness humans.
He shall then support a new race to take control over the Northern Wilderness Region for his future.
”You are so confident that you can kill me? Even Han Xuzi cannot kill me. Who do you think you are?” Devil Emperor Dugu said coldly. Just when he finished speaking, he leaped down and charged at Lu Jingfeng.

Zhou Xuanji came to the netherworld and found himself not in the territory of Magistrate Cui.
He frowned.
He could not descend into the mortal realm as his cultivation would be restricted by the Heavenly Law. The Divine Cliff had no one to help him resist the power of the Heavenly Law either.
He could only dive into the netherworld straightaway and enter the Northern Wilderness Region through there. Along the way, he could not pass through other mortal realms.
Without much hesitation, he began moving.
Much of the netherworld looked alike. Everywhere was ghastly and he could see no sunlight.
A short while later, he saw a ghost soldier.
The Truth Sword was useful against the ghosts as well. With it, he got to know how far he was from Magistrate Cui’s territory.
He heaved a sigh of relief after knowing the answer.
The territory he was in belonged to Magistrate Zhao, who was a neighbor to Magistrate Cui. The two were well-related, or at least they had no grudge.
He did not go to find Magistrate Zhao immediately but asked the ghost soldier to lead the way. He wanted to head over to Magistrate Cui’s territory straightaway.
The ghost soldier had no choice but to bring him to the edge of the Yellow Spring.
”Head toward this direction, and you will reach Magistrate Cui’s territory.”
The Truth Sword had been in its body, so it could only speak the truth.
”How do I travel on the river?”
Zhou Xuanji asked, “Do I just fly across?”
There were too many legends about the Yellow Spring, so he had to be careful.
The ghost said with a trembling voice, “Either you take the nether boat, or you can fly over. But if you fall into the river by accident, then your spirit will surely be destroyed.”
Zhou Xuanji frowned and asked, “Are there any restrictive mechanisms on the Yellow Spring? How far?”
The ghost replied, “There are no restrictive mechanisms, but it’s very far. I don’t know the exact distance, but it’s within the Impermanence’s reach.”
Having heard that, Zhou Xuanji left the ghost and flew toward the Yellow Spring.
He did not have the time to find a nether boat.
The nether boat was not faster than his flight anyway.
Even though he used the Truth Sword, he still felt uneasy.
But once he thought about his wife and daughter, he became more courageous and had no fear.
He traveled full speed ahead.
After six hours, he reached the other shore and made his way straight to Magistrate Cui.
