Red Sleevesā face changed slightly, and she immediately teleported over to solemnly support the burly Shura Emperor:
"Clan Leader!"
The Shura Emperor before them was none other than the Clan Leader of the Forgotten God Shura Clan, an Emperor of the First Prison!
At this moment, his headās cyclone was dissipating, and there was a pitch-black mark on his body struck by a stone tablet. The strong aura of resentment continuously eroded his body, making it impossible for his injuries to heal.
Red Sleeves was secretly shocked.
What on earth did the Clan Leader encounter to suffer such severe injuries? His cultivation nearly fell.
The Young Master Xue Cheng was taken aback, quickly teleporting over: "Father, what happened?"
The old Shura Emperor was anxious and said, "Quick... go quickly..."
"The Ten Sins of Central Earth have betrayed us and are slaughtering the Asura Clan on a large scale. Our nine divisionās Shura Emperors have been betrayed, and the casualties are heavy!"
What?
The Young Master Xue Cheng and many Shura Clan members of the nine divisions were shocked and turned pale.
Red Sleevesā gaze was heavy.
She had been worried ever since learning that the Ten Sins of Central Earth joined them.
This group of people was not benign.
Unexpectedly, her worries came true.
She immediately grasped the Yin Marrow Tiger Talisman and reissued orders: "The army, listen to orders, head to..."
"Central Earth!"
Since the war between Central Earth and the Hell Realm had ceased, it meant that both parties temporarily reconciled, and the Ten Sins of Central Earth were their common enemy.
The sages of Central Earth would probably be willing to join forces with the Hell Realm to annihilate the former ten traitors.
Thus, they needed to return beneath the Attic World, where the sages of Central Earth gatheredāit was the safest place!
The army immediately moved, and Red Sleeves, along with the heavily injured Shura Emperor, quickly set off with Young Master Xue Cheng.
Jiang Fan reluctantly glanced at Young Master Xue Chengāhe was about to kill him.
Damn the Ten Sins of Central Earth for disrupting.
He had no time to bother with Young Master Xue Cheng and loudly commanded: "Central Earth Army, converge on the Attic World Device, avoid the Shura Clan along the way!"
The sudden betrayal by the Ten Sins of Central Earth did not surprise him in the slightest.
Because inferior sages, to advance, needed to absorb the hatred from the souls of Heaven and Earth against them.
The war between the Hell Realm and Central Earth had stopped; they had no hatred to absorb, so naturally, they would bite back at the Hell Realm, inciting its hatred.
Everyone immediately followed orders, bypassing the Shura Clan, maneuvering towards the entrance of the Attic World.
Jiang Fan quickly packed up the things on site, not daring to linger.
If the Ten Sins of Central Earth found him, they might also harbor murderous intent.
He put away the Space-Time Hourglass, with only a quarter of the sand left, to use at a critical moment.
Then he stored away the Angel Blade, whose light had dimmed some.
Finally, Jiang Fan cast a meaningful glance at the Undying Divine Tree before ascending into the crowd.
"Jiang Fan~" Yue Mingzhu, in a pink silhouette like a bird returning to its nest, dashed into his arms, her eyes full of grievance.
"I thought you were dead!"
Jiang Fan somewhat regretted letting her know about the Oracle Elderās prophecy.
Since then, Yue Mingzhu had been mulling over it day and night, filled with worry and fear.
Over time, it would become a knot in her heart, a hindrance to her Divinity Transformation.
Patting her head, Jiang Fan said:
"Donāt worry needlessly. Did you forget the precondition of the Oracle Elderās prophecy?"
"He said I would die at the hands of the person I trust the most."
"As long as thereās no one by my side, or no one I trust most, Iāll be safe and sound."
Only then did Yue Mingzhu realize, yes, she was so worried about Jiang Fan dying that she overlooked this precondition.
She wiped her tears, breaking into a smile: "Alright, alright, Iām being melodramatic again. Letās go back to Central Earth and discuss your fate slowly."
"Together, weāll help you get through this ordeal."
Saying so, she cheerfully linked arms with him, half of her body leaning on him.
But as they walked, she stepped on something, twisting her foot.
Looking down, it was a yellow-furred rabbit, licking the undried drizzle on the ground.
Yue Mingzhu, both amused and annoyed, kicked it away with a laugh: "Good bunny, get out of the way, move along!"
The yellow little rabbit, aggrieved, was kicked away, rolling several times on the ground before dejectedly scampering off.
Jiang Fan looked on, amused: "You, picking a fight with a wild rabbit..."
Hmm?
Wait!
How could there be a wild rabbit at such a desolate root of Hell?
Yue Mingzhu also came to a realization and said, "Could it be a Heaven and Earth Spirit Seed?"
The two exchanged a glance and quickly went back to investigate, but the little yellow rabbit seemed to have disappeared; neither Jiang Fan with his Divinity Transformation sense nor Yue Mingzhu with her Emperorās Gaze Technique could find it.
"Being able to evade our search, it seems to be a Heaven and Earth Exotic Beast after all."
Jiang Fan, speechless, said: "You even stepped on it, and still you kicked it away."
Since Yue Mingzhu had practiced the Emperorās Gaze Technique, she had also attracted a lot of good fortune.
Hence, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Objects were particularly fond of her, so much so that they gathered at her feet for her to step on!
Yue Mingzhu stuck out her tongue, embarrassed: "The old must go for the new to come. Whatās meant to be mine will let itself be stepped on by me. Letās go."
Jiang Fan found it both funny and helpless; only Yue Mingzhu, the Spirit of Heaven and Earth, who lacked nothing, would be indifferent to such a chance.
Shaking his head, he followed the army in retreat.
But somehow, he felt as if he had forgotten something very important on this journey.
Half a day later.
They reached the Attic World, having encountered no dangers along the way.
Red Sleeves had already led the Shura Clan army to arrive first, but the armyās number had reduced by over two thousand, and many were injured.
In a battle near the Abyss, they hadnāt suffered such severe casualties.
Looking at their expressions, each bore hatred.
Clearly, they had encountered one of the Ten Sins of Central Earth, who had brutally killed a group of their clansmen.
The people of Central Earth secretly felt a chill, thankful that Jiang Fan had the foresight to command them not to travel with the Shura Clan, lest they be dragged down when the Shura Clanās misfortune struck.
"Youāve finally returned."
The Great Wine Sacrifice from Taicang State approached, looking at the noticeably reduced army, his face showing sorrow.
No need to think to know; their journey was exceptionally perilous.
Jiang Fan said, "Great Wine Sacrifice, weāll talk back in Central Earth."
"I worry something big is going to happen at the Hell level."
The Ten Sins of Central Earth couldnāt wait for the Hell Realm to be thrown into chaos; they wouldnāt be satisfied with just killing a few Shura Emperors.
The Great Wine Sacrifice and the Jiangshan First-class Building Owner and other sages were guarding the Attic World entrance, preventing the Ten Sins of Central Earth or the Shura army from infiltrating it.
Upon hearing this, they didnāt dare to delay.
Immediately, they opened the passage, allowing the Central Earth army to enter one after another.
Red Sleeves pondered briefly; once the sages of Central Earth withdrew, the Shura Nine Divisions would be left unprotected.
This place was unsuitable for a prolonged stay.
"Hell army, divide into a hundred small squads, scatter towards Fengdu."
They could only resort to this strategy; if any squad encountered the Ten Sins of Central Earth, then it would be just their bad luck.
The Shura Clan army quickly disbanded and departed, with Red Sleeves and Young Master Xue Cheng staying at the rear with the Shura Emperor.
At that time, the Central Earth army had almost fully retreated.
Only about a thousand troops remained outside.
Once they completely returned, the Hell Realmās expedition would be officially over.
However.
Suddenly, Heaven and Earth trembled.
The groundās volcanoes erupted ferociously with the tremor, and the sky showed countless folds, overlaying towards this location.
This momentum was only second to the arrival of the Undying Divine Tree!
The eight Great Wine Sacrifices seemed to sense something, simultaneously teleporting, forming a line shoulder to shoulder to block before the army.
The Great Wine Sacrifice of Taicang State, his gaze was extremely solemn.
"Go! Quickly go!"
They had never been this tense before, not even when facing the Eight Prisons Shura Emperor and several of their own Shura Emperorsā factions.
Jiang Fan swallowed hard; his worries had come true.
He knew what was coming.
Under the gaze of his eyes.
Incredibly far on the horizon, nine suns were slowly rising!
