Chapter 1837: Seclusion V
In a domain, a woman was fighting dozens of demons. Her movements were as if she were dancing, with dozens of red roses swirling around her, sometimes acting as weapons, sometimes as defense.
Despite being surrounded by so many enemies, she showed no signs of worry; instead, a beautiful smile spread across her lovely face, as if she were enjoying the moment.
She has a delicate, youthful face with a soft, refined complexion. Her red eyes are clear and slightly elongated, giving her a gentle yet captivating expression.
Her shoulder-length hair appears smooth and lustrous, dominated by a rose-red hue. The upper portion is styled neatly around her head, while the remaining hair falls behind her shoulders in flowing strands. A thin red veil covers the lower half of her face, unable to hide her slender nose and soft lips.
She possesses a slender, graceful figure with a naturally feminine silhouette. Her shoulders are delicate, her waist is narrow, her hips are wide, and her legs are long. Her chest is modestly full and naturally shaped, partially covered by the red fabric of her dress.
After a long fight, the woman managed to kill all the devils. Her red eyes looked far away as she pondered. "How could the number of these devils increase so much? The last time I fought them, their numbers weren’t this many. Moreover, Ai Qing and the others told me that they also encountered many devils in several domains they passed through, and they kept coming non-stop."
"Fen Hongyi."
"Hmm?" Feng Hongyi, the rose immortal, turned to the man who called him.
The man has a fairly young face and an upright and muscular body. His jet-black hair is let loose down to his back; his gaze is quite deep, and his black eyes are a little scary to those who see him. Unlike the life goddess, Sheng Ming, a terrifying jet-black aura enveloped his body.
"Why did you come to this domain, Shiwang Zhizhu?" Feng Hongyi asked in surprise.
"When I passed by this domain, I sensed your aura here, so I came to check your situation." Shiwang Zhizhu looked at the pile of devil corpses. "Your situation is pretty bad, huh?"
"Not bad, but not good either," Feng Hongyi sighed. "I’ve spent two weeks in this domain, but these devils keep coming at me, and they’re getting stronger."
Shiwang Zhizhu stretched out her hand, and a giant mouth emerged from the ground before swallowing all the corpses. He pointed his hand upward, and a black light erupted from his palm before spreading throughout the domain, annihilating all the surviving devils.
Feng Hongyi’s lips twitched. "Show off!"
"Haha," Shiwang Zhizhu laughed. "My abilities are different from yours, so you don’t need to be jealous of my abilities."
"I’m not jealous of your freak abilities!" Feng Hongyi retorted. "The nickname ’Lord of Death’ really suits you the best. Does this mean you have killed many devils before?"
"Yes." Shiwang Zhizhu nodded. "I’ve visited more than five domains over the past few months, and I’ve slaughtered countless devils. At first, they kept coming to me, but I kept slaughtering them, and they eventually stopped coming."
Fen Hongyi raised her eyebrows. "I’ve been in this domain for quite some time, and I’m sick of killing those devils, but they never give up and keep coming endlessly."
"I don’t know what Xie Zuzhou has done, but I feel like his subordinates are much more numerous and much stronger than in the past." Feng Hongyi agreed with Shiwang Zhizhu. "By the way, I couldn’t contact Qin Dongwu a week ago, and I couldn’t track his whereabouts either."
"That’s weird." Fen Hongyi frowned. "Do you think something happened to Qin Dongwu? In fact, I tried to contact Yan Xian ten days ago, but I couldn’t reach him, and he hasn’t replied to my messages to this day."
Shiwang Zhizhu fell into contemplation. "I will contact Huang Lingzhu now, and she probably knows their whereabouts."
"Contact her now."
After getting Huang Lingzhu’s answer, Shiwang Zhizhu put on a look of disbelief. "She said that she was busy at Ling Yun’s residence, and she didn’t know the whereabouts of Yan Xian and Qin Dongwu. By the way, she asked us to go there, and she would teach us a new technique."
"A new technique?"
Shiwang Zhizhu nodded. "She said that the technique is related to our soul, and it will help us increase our soul power."
"That’s weird." Fen Hongyi muttered to himself. "Since when did Huang Lingzhu study the soul path?"
"It wasn’t Huang Lingzhu who created that technique, but Ling Yun."
"Oh? Did Ling Yun really create that technique? Did Huang Lingzhu tell you what kind of soul technique it was?"
"Huang Lingzhu told me that Ling Yun was the creator of the soul technique, but she didn’t explain the details to me, and she asked us to meet her there." Shiwang Zhizhu looked around them. "I have already left a trace of my aura in this domain; I believe those devils will not dare to set foot here again, so you don’t need to worry about the residents anymore."
"What about the others?"
"Huang Lingzhu also asked them to go there, and Mu Xianyu’s location is closest to Ling Yun’s domain."
"What about those devils?"
"She wants us to stop hunting them for now; she wants us to master the soul technique first." Fen Hongyi found Huang Lingzhu’s decision a bit strange. "She said the soul technique isn’t easy to learn, and since she has already set up a time formation at Ling Yun’s residence, she wants us to go there to learn it."
Fen Hongyi nodded. "Let’s go there now."
"Ling Yun’s domain is quite far from this domain, and we might need two weeks of travel to get there."
"That’s not a problem."
"Let’s go."
Feng Hongyi and Shiwang Zhizhu immediately flew away from the domain at high speed, and their next destination was the Forgotten Starfall Domain.

In another domain, Ai Qing, the beauty immortal, was lying relaxed on the branch of a massive tree. Her beautiful eyes watched the devils below, her lips curled up as she watched them kill each other.
Compared to Huang Lingxu and Sheng Ming, Ai Qing was less stunning, but she was still beautiful in the eyes of her worshippers; otherwise, she wouldn’t have earned that title.
Unlike Feng Hongyi, Ai Qing didn’t need to waste her qi fighting those devils. She used her charm to influence them, and they immediately attacked each other.
Ai Qing furrowed her brows; she listened to the voice transmission she had just received. "Hmm? Ling Yun created a new soul technique? Why didn’t Hua Xianren tell me about it when she contacted me last time? Since Huang Lingzhu asked me to go there as soon as possible, the soul technique must have a tremendous effect on our soul power."
Ai Qing stood up, stretched her body, and used her technique. In an instant, all the devils below died on their own, followed by the devils in other areas of the domain.
After ensuring all the devils in the domain were dead, Ai Qing immediately flew away, using her top speed to head to the Forgotten Starfall Domain.

In the third domain, a tall and muscular man stood among the crowd of bloodthirsty devils. He tapped the back end of his spear on the ground, and dozens of spearheads emerged, killing all his enemies.
The man frowned as he felt quite a strong aura heading towards him from behind, and he immediately prepared to face its owner. However, a black crescent sword qi suddenly descended from the sky and killed its owner, leaving him dumbfounded.
"Long time no see, Xing Jiangjun." A young man suddenly greeted him.
The battle immortal, Xing Jiangjun, looked at the man in surprise. "What brings you here, Ling Yun? This is your clone, right?"
"You’re right." Ling Yun landed in front of him. "I intended to check this domain to clear out those devils, but I didn’t expect to find you here."
Xing Jiangjun nodded in understanding. "These devils are troublesome, and their numbers seem endless."
"You shouldn’t be surprised by that, because someone helped Xie Zuzhou create these devils." Ling Yun looked at the corpses around them. "As long as we don’t stop him, these devils will continue to emerge, and their strength will continue to increase."
"Who helped Xie Zuzhou to create these devils?"
"Her name is Shijian, and she is as powerful as Huang Lingzhu." Xing Jiangjun couldn’t believe it. "I’ve seen that woman before, so I’m not lying to you. By the way, has she contacted you?"
Xing Jiangjun nodded. "Huang Lingzhu just contacted me and asked me to go to your domain, but these devils kept me busy before. Why did she ask me to go there?"
"This." Ling Yun touched Xing Jiangjun’s forehead and imparted the new soul technique into his mind. "She wants you to learn it to increase your soul power, and my residence is the most suitable place for that."
Xing Jiangjun took a deep breath after reading the technique. "Did you create it?"
"Yes." Ling Yun nodded. "I created it a few months ago, and I have succeeded in forming my soul world. As for my soul power, the increase is quite significant, and it has surpassed yours."
Xing Jiangjun was overjoyed to hear that. "However, I feel uncomfortable going to your residence, Ling Yun."
"Haha." Ling Yun laughed and pointed in a certain direction. "You don’t need to feel uncomfortable, you know? All my wives have entered seclusion and won’t be coming out anytime soon, so you won’t meet them. By the way, I’ve installed a teleportation portal in that area, and you will arrive directly at my residence."
Xing Jiangjun nodded in understanding. "In that case, I will go to your residence right now, and I will leave once I have successfully mastered the technique."
"Okay."
