Chapter 629 - 373: Primordial Chaos Qi (2)
Zou Feng didn’t need to ask to know that as his Cultivation deepened, the Primordial Chaos Qi of this realm would gradually gather together.
Ultimately, it would condense into a... "sphere."
In other words, a Golden Core.
BOOM—
A massive explosion shattered Zou Feng’s thoughts, forcing him out of his sea of consciousness.
Su Qingyu’s "giant foot," so large it blotted out the sky, came stomping down heavily right on top of Zou Feng’s position.
This wasn’t a deliberate attack on Zou Feng. After all, with only one foot inside this space, she still had no idea about the situation within.
She was even less aware that her foot odor had already smoked the Tribulation Cultivators of the Yama Underworld to the point their souls scattered, and had even helped Zou Feng force out Kong Xia.
Seeing this, Zou Feng thought, ’This is bad.’
With such a massive foot coming down, even he would have a hard time withstanding it.
But it was too late to dodge now; he could only take it head-on.
In his haste, Zou Feng unleashed his poison power to its fullest, thrusting both palms upward with all his might!
Almost at the same time, on the second floor of the Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors.
Compared to before, the place was still bustling.
But the nature of the commotion was entirely different.
The bodies of Demon Race members were strewn everywhere, and those still alive were screaming and wailing incessantly.
As for the previous patrons, almost all of them had fled.
The disciples from the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect had turned the entire brothel into something akin to a slaughterhouse.
Even Zhao Feixiong had long since sobered up and personally finished off those few Silken-Fur Rats.
Just as Zou Feng had expected, Su Qingyu was currently struggling with the small Magical Treasure bottle.
She hadn’t intentionally stuck her foot inside. She had merely been trying to kick the bottle to pieces, hoping it would free Zou Feng.
Unexpectedly, though she kicked for quite some time, the bottle only looked like it might shatter at any moment; it never actually broke. Instead, one of Su Qingyu’s most powerful kicks broke straight through the spatial barrier and entered the bottle.
Su Qingyu didn’t know that her foot had appeared in a gigantic state within the bottle’s space, so she could only move it around tentatively.
However, her current situation was very awkward. She couldn’t get her whole body in, nor could she pull her leg out.
In her desperation, she could only resort to stomping down hard.
However, this stomp was immediately met with resistance.
And she immediately identified the source of this resistance: it was definitely Zou Feng’s doing.
After all, she was all too familiar with this foot-rubbing technique and the poison seeping through.
The power unleashed by this collision of her foot and his hands finally caused the Alternate Space within the bottle to collapse completely.
"Ah, this spatial fluctuation is... Not good!"
"It’s going to blow! Let’s go!"
"We absolutely cannot get sucked into a spatial rift!"
The surrounding Immortal Sect Disciples cried out in alarm and warning.
This was especially true for the disciples who had spent a long time in the Northern Domain. The space there was often unstable, so most of them had witnessed spatial collapses and rifts before.
Su Qingyu also sensed the danger, but her foot was stuck. She couldn’t just chop it off and run, could she?
Besides, the familiar aura coming from the sole of her foot gave her an inexplicable sense of security.
RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE...
The next moment, the space collapsed amid continuous explosions.
The main building of the Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors crumbled in response.
But fortunately, this Magical Treasure’s Alternate Space wasn’t very large, so it didn’t produce an overly exaggerated explosion.
Even the spatial rifts were the small, thin kind, not too difficult to avoid.
Finally, the dust scattered. Zou Feng, having successfully escaped the space, was still in the pose of holding up the sole of Su Qingyu’s foot with both hands.
The two of them had just performed what amounted to a Combined Skill. To handle the spatial collapse, they both instinctively activated their Domain Expansion. By using their Domains to counteract the collapse, they avoided being injured by the explosion.
"Huuu—"
It had been a close call, but they were safe. Zou Feng let out a long sigh of relief.
Su Qingyu, also shaken, retracted her foot and asked in confusion, "What... what just happened?"
"It’s all thanks to the Palace Master’s prison guard. Otherwise, I’m afraid I wouldn’t have been able to catch White Impermanence so easily..."
Zou Feng then briefly told Su Qingyu everything that had happened inside the bottle’s space.
At first, Su Qingyu listened very seriously, but soon her brow furrowed. "Wait a minute. You’re saying my foot... smoked them to death, and even made White Impermanence vomit until she had no choice but to show herself?"
Zou Feng quickly coughed a few times and said, "A slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue! It was the poison. The poison killed them!"
Su Qingyu shot him a glare but couldn’t be bothered to argue about it.
After all, no matter how much Zou Feng liked to tease her about her feet, he had never once shown any disgust toward the poisonous qi on them whenever they engaged in their Poison Cultivator exchanges.
"So, how was it? The taste of White Impermanence wasn’t too bad, was it?" This was what Su Qingyu was most concerned about now.
She had just learned from Zou Feng that the recently Refined White Impermanence, Kong Xia, was a Poison Cultivator from the Yama Underworld.
Zou Feng immediately smiled. "As for the taste of White Impermanence, the Palace Master will know for herself soon enough."
Through the "exchanges" between Poison Cultivators, Su Qingyu could indeed personally taste the poison of White Impermanence.
"But it looks like we’re about to get busy again..." After speaking, Su Qingyu glanced at the total mess of ruins nearby.
Without her needing to explain, Zou Feng knew very well that the list of things they needed to deal with had just gotten longer.
The demons of the Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors, and the Great Demons behind them, were all members of the Demon Race who had submitted to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect and were "licensed" to operate.
But the chaos that had just occurred clearly indicated that these members of the Demon Race were actually in league with the Ninefold Celestial Court and the Yama Underworld.
If the Great Demons behind them were unaware of this, it would be one thing. But if the Great Demons *were* aware...
Without a doubt, it would lead to another river of blood.
And so, Zou Feng, Su Qingyu, and the other disciples originally assigned to hunt Tribulation Cultivators would naturally be given an additional task: to investigate and purge the Jade Dragon Marketplace and the surrounding Demon Cultivators.
Thinking about all this, he knew without a doubt that they would be unbelievably busy.
Just then, a sigh came from not far away.
Zou Feng turned his head and only then noticed a melancholic Zhao Feixiong.
"Brother Zhao?"
Zhao Feixiong looked up at him, then gave a bitter smile, looking as if he didn’t want to say much.
The reason for his melancholy wasn’t that he was worried about his pre-marital brothel-visiting antics being exposed.
After all, with such a huge mess, he could openly claim that he had discovered something was amiss and had merely been posing as a customer to investigate.
Strictly speaking, it could even be considered a great service.
Therefore, the reason Zhao Feixiong was melancholic was because he had just been forced to personally finish off those Silken-Fur Rats.
It was clear that Zhao Feixiong had been genuinely fond of those Silken-Fur Rats.
It was just a shame that after he officially married the Ninth Princess, he was afraid he would no longer have the chance to...
Seeing this, Zou Feng suddenly felt the urge to offer a few words of warning, to tell Zhao Feixiong to be careful of Luo Zhenzhen cheating on him.
But on second thought, he decided against it. After all, unless Zhao Feixiong saw it with his own eyes, he probably wouldn’t believe that his beloved Princess Zhenzhen had a huge problem.
And even if Zhao Feixiong did believe him, confronted Luo Zhenzhen, and subsequently tore up the marriage contract...
...he himself would become the main culprit for ruining the marriage alliance between the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race and the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.
After that, he would surely end up in a situation where he was seen as an enemy by both sides.
’But... what if the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race also wants to rebel...?’
The chaos at the Hundred Demons Hundred Flavors had already proven that it wasn’t just the Yama Underworld and the Ninefold Celestial Court that were stirring up trouble. The Demon Race, which had already submitted to the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect, was also getting restless and looking to cause problems.
This sliver of suspicion was quickly dismissed by Zou Feng.
’After all, if the Yu Long Lake Dragon Race really wanted to rebel, there would be no need to arrange a marriage alliance with the Pinnacle Celestial Immortal Sect.’
’Besides, this wasn’t really my business to worry about. Now that the Demon Race’s cooperation with the Tribulation Cultivators has been exposed, Jiang Wanzhao and Yu Lingxiao will naturally investigate the matter thoroughly.’
"Brother Zou, Brother Zhao!"
Behind Zou Feng, an unfamiliar disciple walked up, bowed, and saluted.
"What is it?"
"Jiang Zhenchuan has arrived. She requests that you and Brother Zhao go over..."
"Understood!"
With that said, Zou Feng looked at Zhao Feixiong again.
By now, Zhao Feixiong had recovered from his earlier melancholy. He shrugged and said, "Let’s go. Trouble’s most likely here!"
