Another sword light rose in the starry sky.
It crossed the star river at great speed and stopped above.
Chen Xia's expression changed slightly, looking closely at the figure in front of him with some surprise and joy, shouting:
"Big Yellow..."
Big Yellow Dog turned his head and looked back at him with his hands behind his back. The corners of his protruding mouth grinned into a very big smile, full of joy at the reunion after a long separation, and responded:
"I calculated that you were in the Great Death Realm, so I hurried over. The cultivators of this realm really do not know life and death. I had left threatening words before, yet they still dared to let you get involved in the muddy waters of the Great Death Realm. When I return to the realm, I will definitely make them pay the corresponding price!"
"It's fine, I wanted to come by myself. Some things just have to be done. But I support making those old guys in the realm pay the price."
Chen Xia nodded in response.
Big Yellow Dog looked at him again, his eyes scanning for a moment, murmured in wonder, and asked doubtfully: "Possessed by the heart devil, but also somewhat unlike, have you reconciled with your inner devil?"
"No, we're just not fighting now." Chen Xia shook his head and replied.
"Mm." Big Yellow Dog nodded lightly, then spoke worriedly, "Being possessed by the heart devil is ultimately a big deal on the path of cultivation for cultivators. In the future when you have the opportunity, you must slay the heart devil. Otherwise, if you let it become deeper and deeper, it will have an extremely great impact on your future cultivation."
One of the big reasons why he had been successfully plotted against in the past was because of the heart devil.
Chen Xia's inner devil didn't react at all to Big Yellow Dog's words.
Chen Xia smiled and said, "We'll see when the opportunity comes in the future, there's no rush."
He and Big Yellow Dog looked at each other again.
The pure white pupils and pitch-black eyes reflected each other.
Neither of them were the same as before. Even though they had imagined meeting each other many times, when they truly met, they didn't know what to say.
Words of concern and greeting were just the basics.
After these words were finished, what else could be said?
Big Yellow Dog had his hands behind his back, his head lowered slightly. He really wasn't the same as before. He glanced at Chen Xia again, hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said,
"When this matter is over, let's go back to Blue Sky Sword Sea and take a look together. I wonder how Chi Yu is doing. He should be doing quite well since he is the descendant of a great family."
"He should be doing well." Chen Xia replied with a sentence, opened his mouth as if to say something more, but he really didn't know where to start. Should they talk about chess?
"When the portal to leave opens, you guys should go back first. This time the Great Death Realm is going to be extremely chaotic, too many are involved, no one below Great Saint has the qualifications to meddle."
Big Yellow Dog added and then waved his hand with a laugh.
"Also help me say hi to Old Zhang. He probably doesn't have many years left, I wonder if I can see him again in the future..."
Big Yellow Dog fell silent for a long while, then shook his head.
"It's out of my control."
It wasn't until he stood at the outer barrier of the Great Death Realm that he figured some things out.
Regarding that old Daoist above the Great Profound Capital.
The old Daoist sits above the Great Heaven, but he is not a cultivator of the Great Heaven. Big Yellow Dog had heard this news long ago when he was at the Zhun Di stage.
As for where the old Daoist came from, there was never any accurate account. Some said he was the son of heaven and earth, popped out from a rock, not subject to any jurisdiction.
Others said he was a true celestial from heaven who fell here as a false immortal.
Yet everyone knew that above the Great Heaven was the Heavenly Dao, and there were no so-called true immortals.
The origin of the old Daoist was very illusory, leaving one unable to figure it out clearly.
But Big Yellow Dog had a guess.
The old Daoist was a cultivator from the Great Death Realm!
He was a cultivator who had lived and left the Great Death Realm when it was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago.
Now that the Gray Emperor Opportunity of the Great Death Realm had opened, was it suggesting that the old Daoist would also appear in the Great Death Realm?
If calculated this way, then no one below Great Saint was qualified to participate in the battle in the Great Death Realm this time.
The previous battles between various young geniuses from heaven were just small scuffles to warm up, they couldn't even count as anything.
Even the Gray Emperor Opportunity was just bait for fishing.
They who came as Great Saints and Zhun Di were the fish.
Although he didn't know how things would develop afterwards, Big Yellow Dog was not thinking about running away either. After being dormant for two great eras, if he ran away again now, then he would have severed his path to become a Great Emperor.
Now that he was only one step away from becoming a Great Emperor, why not take this opportunity to kick open that door and stand at the highest point of all heaven to look down on all other mountains.
Chen Xia naturally also wanted to run away. Now that everything he came to do in the Great Death Realm was done, he had seen Xu Zhen and also obtained great fortune and opportunity, there was no reason for him to continue staying. It was just that the portal to leave still hadn't opened, so Chen Xia could only wait first.
Not far away, another light lit up and approached swiftly, stopping beside Chen Xia. It was Wang Yangzi's figure. He stood in midair, surveying his surroundings with an expression, and his gaze stopped on Big Yellow Dog. First he was puzzled, then grinned happily.
"Hahaha, whose spiritual beast is this?"
He laughed happily.
Everyone present fell silent.
Wang Yangzi was not stupid. Seeing the silent atmosphere on the scene, he stopped smiling, looked at Big Yellow Dog again, and suddenly raised his eyebrows as he recalled the Zhun Di named Cang Mang who had fought against two Great Saints in the realm.
It seemed that the Zhun Di named Cang Mang was a dog who was on good terms with Chen Xia?
Then the atmosphere completely lost all cheer and laughter, leaving only silence.
Chen Xia shook his head, feeling the atmosphere was a bit off, so he went up and patted Wang Yangzi on the neck.
"It's fine, not being able to speak isn't your fault. Apologize to Dog Brother and compensate a few hundred thousand spiritual stones, that will do. It's not like it's a big deal that deserves to viciously beat you and string you up for whipping."
"Of course it's understandable. As Dog Brother, right?" He blinked at Big Yellow Dog with a smile and asked.
Big Yellow Dog naturally understood and started standing with his hands behind his back, a fierce light flashing in his eyes as he nodded and answered:
"Naturally it's not that simple."
Damn!
Wang Yangzi was so frightened his face turned pale. Recalling his previous words, he hated that he couldn't slap himself for really having no judgement to actually dare say such things in front of a Zhun Di.
That was equivalent to a son hitting his father, defying the natural order.
Wang Yangzi quickly nodded in agreement.
"Of course I will compensate, not just a few hundred thousand spiritual stones, I will also take out some top quality pills. Please forgive me, senior."
A few hundred thousand spiritual stones and few pills were no big deal for him. As a Saint of Alchemy, he earned money extremely quickly.
Chen Xia also didn't scam him too hard, just took some money symbolically.
Who told him to have no judgement and not know how to speak properly?
After Wang Yangzi agreed, the fierce look in Big Yellow Dog's eyes disappeared. He lowered his head looking at something.
Chen Xia shook his head, patted Wang Yangzi on the shoulder, and said in a meaningful way: "Little Wang, pay more attention to what you say in the future. My Dog Brother and I are sworn brothers. Only because of that was I able to persuade him, otherwise if it were someone else, it wouldn't work so smoothly. Don't worry, nothing will happen, he won't violently beat you and string you up for a whipping."
"I understand, I understand, Brother Xia." Wang Yangzi's eyes were full of gratitude towards Chen Xia for helping him smooth things over.
"A child can be taught." Chen Xia nodded with importance, smiling lightly with his hands behind his back.
This pose was exactly the same as Big Yellow Dog's.
Wang Yangzi secretly nodded.
As expected of sworn brothers.
So alike.
