“Buzz!”

The void trembled.

As the Hungry Ghost lunged toward Holy Emperor Qilin, there was not even a flicker in the deep blue eyes of the latter, nor any attempt to dodge.

The boundless Gate of Hell suddenly vanished.

The malevolent Hungry Ghost froze in its tracks, his eyes losing its radiance.

“Ah, this…”

Xu Xiaoshou was deeply focused on comprehending the Hungry Ghost Path while treading on the Spirit Dao Disc when he suddenly became bewildered.

He was still pondering how to form a soul contract and summon the Gate of Hell…

The Gate of Hell was gone?

“Swish.”

The figure of the Hungry Ghost flickered in mid-air.

His divine energy dissipated, his form vanished, and The Divine appeared as an illusionary bald figure.

“A virtual image?”

Holy Emperor Qilin spoke human words with a hint of astonishment.

Bei Huai had witnessed a virtual image once before, but even now, he hesitated to believe that what had just given him such pressure was merely a virtual image—this time, The Divine couldn’t disguise himself.

A virtual image of spiritual cultivation, combined with the Six Paths of ancient martial arts, was truly an ingenious idea!

“This guy…”

Stepping on the Spirit Dao Disc, Xu Xiaoshou glanced back and suddenly realized what Bei Huai had done to foil The Divine’s Hungry Ghost Path.

Bei Huai had been waiting for this Hungry Ghost Path all along!

When the energy fluctuation of The Divine’s virtual image appeared, Bei Huai chose to directly strike at the root!

The obstacle was finally shattered.

Holy Emperor Qilin lowered its gaze upon Xu Xiaoshou, who stood alone before him, like a lamb without its protective fence.

As for the little white cat under the protection of the lamb…

Within easy reach!

“Your divine soul is boiling.”

When this mocking voice echoed from the heavens, Xu Xiaoshou was startled, quickly suppressing all emotions.

The way of the spirit and soul, one couldn’t be too cautious!

“Meow…”

Greedy the Cat Spirit lay atop its owner’s head, weakly mewing.

With its spiritual intelligence, it had long realized that the target of this gigantic solitary horned monster was itself.

And its owner was its last line of defense!

“Meow?”

Before Greedy the Cat Spirit could ponder further, it suddenly found itself lifted into the air by its owner.

“Do you want it?”

Xu Xiaoshou grinned, holding the little white cat in his hands.

“Meow!”

Greedy the Cat Spirit’s fur bristled.

What happened to protecting it?

How could he betray it like this?

Holy Emperor Qilin, however, remained calm and silent, its gaze indifferent, merely observing the actions of the insignificant ant below.

Human nature was as such.

After resisting in vain, when one realized they could no longer turn the tide, they would choose to submit.

But this time…

“Xu Xiaoshou, you won’t have another chance.” Holy Emperor Qilin spoke in human tongue, its killing intent palpable.

“What chance? Did I ever say I’d give Greedy the Cat Spirit to you? Are you, Holy Emperor, indulging in daydreams, believing you can simply take whatever you desire?” Xu Xiaoshou laughed heartily, stuffing Greedy the Cat Spirit into his chest.

Qilin was taken aback.

But then, the insignificant ant below reached out and retrieved something…

A communication bead?

At this critical moment, a communication bead?

In the face of imminent death, did he still hold hope of summoning someone to turn the tide?

“Give me a chance?”

Xu Xiaoshou clutched the communication bead, surprised that Holy Emperor Qilin would wait.

He had thought he might need to use the Time Ancestor Shadow Staff again and give this horned Qilin a hard knock.

Holy Emperor Qilin’s four claws moved, quickly halting its actions, and its lips parted:

“Speak.”

His last words…?

It was surprisingly magnanimous at this moment…

Xu Xiaoshou laughed out loud, but without fear, meeting the deep blue eyes of Holy Emperor Qilin:

“Remember this moment.”

“If we meet again in the future, Bei Huai, I will give your true body the time for such ‘last words’.”

But this wasn’t a moment for final words.

Xu Xiaoshou activated the communication.

After all, it was the Holy Emperor Bei Huai, and there was no one left to protect him.

He just wanted to know, before this final counterattack, if there were still people standing behind him.

If there were, why hadn’t they shown up yet?!

“Beep…”

The communication bead connected.

It connected quickly, as if the other side had been waiting for this call, and a hoarse voice, bearing traces of amusement yet not fully, promptly came through:

“Oh? It’s Lord Shou”

In the sky above, Holy Emperor Qilin’s eyes suddenly narrowed, and the energy of the heavens and earth seemed to freeze.

Instinctively, it wanted to pounce down and eliminate all potential threats.

But just in time, it stopped itself, returning to an indifferent demeanor, in control of everything.

Even though they hadn’t seen each other for decades, Bei Huai remembered who this voice belonged to…

“Bazhun’an?”
