Chapter 580 Exile, Xu Yan Returns_2
"Taicang, and you, Qing Yu that woman... you all tricked me there, locked me up..."
Tian Zi gritted his teeth in anger as he spoke.
The Witch Demon gave a bitter smile, "We had no choice but to act thus. How would there be a Domain like today's if we hadn't locked you up? What would you have done if not confined, don't you know in your heart?"
Tian Zi was momentarily at a loss for words. Given his temperament back then, if he had realized the battle was turning against them and Taicang was in danger, he would certainly have dragged the entire Taicang Domain into helping Taicang.
He was a spirit of the Domain, capable of such an action.
That was also why Taicang had restrained him—to prevent him from doing just that.
"Your Domain is gone, sparing nothing; is this Taicang Domain truly so important to Taicang?"
Tian Zi angrily said.
"It's not that the Domain is important to Brother Taicang, but rather the myriad creatures, the people of the Domain. Taicang was ultimately not as heartless as us; he is different because he is Taicang!"
The Witch Demon sighed.
Tian Zi fell silent.
"What have you come back for?"
After a long pause, Tian Zi finally spoke.
"To take a look at this Domain, and also at my broken Domain," replied the Witch Demon with a smile.
"Do you want to take back your broken Domain?"
"What use would that be, merging into this Domain, which is quite fine. You would also treat the Seductive Witch and the others well, that's enough. Just don't forget what you once stole from the Seductive Witch."
The Witch Demon said cheerfully.
"Humph!"
Tian Zi scoffed several times, "Now that you have seen it, you should go, the farther the better."
"Why must I? Since I have returned, naturally I intend to battle with the Imperishable Temple. Besides, if this Domain falls, escaping would only delay my capture, so I might as well fight here."
The Witch Demon looked up towards the depths of the Land of Imperishable, "Of the Seven Great Domain Masters, now only myself, Ao Hong and Qing Yu are left. But Qing Yu has returned to her original form and cannot yet recover, while Netherworld..."
Speaking of Netherworld, the Witch Demon paused, sighed, "He is no longer a Master of Domain, everything of the Domain has been stripped from him, otherwise his power wouldn't have dropped so."
Tian Zi stared at him for a long while and said, "Did you encounter Xu Yan!"
"How did you know?" asked the Witch Demon, surprised.
"If you hadn't encountered Xu Yan, how could you know so much, have learned these things?"
Tian Zi looked at him with disdain.
"Where is Xu Yan, why hasn't he returned?"
Tian Zi was puzzled, since the Witch Demon had come to the Great Wilderness, logically Xu Yan should have returned as well?
"Hasn't he returned?"
The Witch Demon was a bit surprised and said, "He is being pursued by Yu Ting, and since he is faster than me, he should have returned by now. If he hasn't, something unexpected might have occurred."
"Maybe he's just delayed by something else, but an encounter with danger, that's definitely not possible."
Tian Zi turned and headed back into the Domain, "Come if you want to, it's also good to see those who follow you. In this battle at Imperishable Temple, don't push too hard, since your power is just so-so, struggle or not, it won't change anything."
The Witch Demon's face darkened, so he was being reproached for weak strength?
This Tian Zi, getting too arrogant!
However, Tian Zi indeed now had the grounds to look down on him; truly speaking, within the Great Wilderness Heavenly Path, he was no match for Tian Zi.
"Now this Great Wilderness Domain is truly profound. The Heavenly Dao, the Yin Yang Reincarnation, compared to the Domain we originally created, ours was quite crude, like only a frame had been constructed. If the Domain we initially created had been like this, our strength would have been much stronger and may not have lost to the Divine Temple."
The Witch Demon stepped into the Great Wilderness, expressing his feelings of marvel.
"This is all thanks to the guidance of the Taoist Ancestor, it's definitely different. It's already quite incredible that Taicang could create a Domain."
"Could I pay a visit to this senior Taoist Ancestor?"
"This depends on whether you have the opportunity," Tian Zi thought for a moment and said, "The Taoist Ancestor rarely meets outsiders, but since you've encountered Xu Yan, he is likely to meet with you."
"That's great, that's great!"
Witch Demon let out a sigh of relief.
This trip to the Great Wilderness, aside from participating in the great battle, had another purpose—to visit the master of Xu Yan, the enigmatic Taoist Ancestor.
Hoping to receive some guidance!
"The Seductive Witch and the others are in the Yin Realm, go see your old friends first."
Tian Zi took Witch Demon to the border between Yin and Yang.
"Alright!"
Witch Demon nodded and slowly walked towards the Yin Realm, feeling the differences at the border of Yin and Yang, and becoming increasingly astonished by the mystique of the Great Wilderness' Domain; even he could not fully comprehend it.
Boom!
As Witch Demon arrived, the Yin Realm trembled slightly. After all, this was the Witch Demon Domain he once opened. His arrival was bound to cause some reactions.
"Brother Witch Demon!"
Seductive Witch appeared, her excitement palpable at the sight of this figure.
"It's Seductive Witch!"
Witch Demon looked at Seductive Witch, Duowu, Flame Demon, and the seven others, sighing emotionally. They were once his followers and the pillars of the Witch Demon lineage he had established.
After a major battle, only these seven old friends remained.
In the Yin Realm, Witch Demon and the seven Seductive Witches reminisced.
Li Xuan was leisurely drinking tea brewed by Cai Ling'er, guiding her cultivation while observing the changes in the Land of Imperishable. The Master of Domain level True Spirits began to gather at the sight that met his gaze.
In the Land of Imperishable, Xu Yan was heading back to the Great Wilderness. He used his "One Thought Traceless" Divine Ability to its extreme, feeling a vague sense of crisis. Inside the Prime Tortoise Carapace, Ming Yu remained in a certain state, her body glowing faintly, with characters flashing continuously in her eyes.
Some essence of the Exquisite Jade Token, that even the Prime Tortoise Carapace couldn't completely conceal, meant that some Supreme Experts could track his whereabouts using it.
"Is Ming Yu recovering her lost memories?"
Xu Yan's figure almost fused with Chaos. Even though he could avoid the Master of Heaven and Earth level True Spirits, he still couldn't completely conceal his whereabouts and was easily traceable.
"Are these Master of Heaven and Earth level True Spirits gathering here because King Chi Ni is coming?"

Along the way, Xu Yan noticed that Master of Heaven and Earth level True Spirits were continuously converging towards the Great Wilderness. Even the normally hostile True Spirit Tribes maintained restraint, not erupting into conflict.
All these signs clearly indicated that these True Spirits had received orders from the King of True Spirits, who dared not defy their bloodline.
"Hmm, what is that?"
Suddenly, Xu Yan saw a massive mountain ahead, which was unusual, seemingly not transformed just from a single True Spirit. Instead, it seemed to be made from several True Spirits, containing the Origin powers of these True Spirits.
It was evident that this mountain was artificially created, keeping the True Spirit Origin intact; moreover, it seemed to contain Qi of Heaven and Earth.
On top of the mountain sat two strong figures, both at the Master of Domain level, with remarkable strength.
Clearly, these mountains, arrangements of the Imperishable Temple, were consuming Qi of Heaven and Earth to inject into the mountains, and there were certainly more than one of these mountains.
"A kind of Great Formation? What is the purpose of the Unchanging Divine Master?"
Xu Yan wondered.
He had no intent to destroy this mountain, as doing so would alert the other mountains and even attract more powerful opponents to intercept.
Xu Yan avoided this mountain and continued on his journey. Sure enough, further on, he saw another similar mountain, manned by two figures, Netherworld and Blood Demon.
In the mist of Chaos, a tiny but magnificent Treasure Bead appeared, extremely distant yet finally bringing the Great Wilderness Domain into view. Xu Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief as he made his return.
"What's that?"
Suddenly, Xu Yan's heart tightened as he saw to the left a mountain larger than the previous ones. The mountain was composed of even more types of True Spirits, each carefully selected, gathering their Origins within the mountain.
Inside the mountain was an even larger Qi of Heaven and Earth!
The figures guarding the mountain were beyond the Master of Domain level, and Xu Yan was secretly startled by the unexpected profound depth of the Imperishable Temple!
