"Ahhhhh."

A shrill scream suddenly rang out. The Black-robed Youth felt a powerful, immense force explode from his abdomen, instantly sweeping through his entire body.

His face twisted and contorted from the excruciating pain, his eyes rolled back, and his body curled up, nearly collapsing on the spot.

The power of Fang Hong’s punch was just right; it directly shattered all of the Black-robed Youth’s Demonic power, leaving him not even a sliver of room to resist.

"Little thing, obediently turn into a dao pill to assist this seat in cultivate, and it can be considered your good fortune," Fang Hong said with a smile.

"You... who exactly are you?!" the Black-robed Youth roared, his voice trembling as he endured the intense pain, his face filled with terror.

"I... I am the grandson of Great Emperor Jiuyuan from the Nine-Headed Serpent Clan! You dare to kill me? My grandfather will never let you off!"

The Black-robed Youth truly had not expected that this ordinary-looking Black Bear before him would possess such terrifying strength!

With just a single punch, he had completely lost his ability to fight; this level of pressure far exceeded his understanding.

Hearing this, Fang Hong didn’t even pay him any mind.

Fang Hong flicked his finger, and a surge of immortal power gushed out, directly extracting the Black-robed Youth’s soul from his physical body.

With his soul forcibly extracted from his body, the intense pain caused the Black-robed Youth to once again let out bursts of shrill screams.

"Then let me see what kind of strength your grandfather has. If he only has the cultivation of an Early Stage Immortal Emperor, I’ll slaughter your grandfather along with you!"

Fang Hong wiped the smile from his face and said in a cold tone.

"My grandfather was already a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor a thousand years ago. You had better let me go now!"

"If you kill me, you will absolutely not be able to escape!"

"I already used a soul secret technique just now to transmit your appearance! My grandfather will be able to find you very soon!" the Black-robed Youth’s soul threatened viciously.

"A Middle Stage Immortal Emperor? That is a bit troublesome..."

Fang Hong muttered to himself upon hearing this, but his expression remained calm, without the slightest panic.

With his current strength, even if he truly came face-to-face with a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor, even if he couldn’t defeat them, he was fully confident in being able to escape safely.

Therefore, this small threat was simply not enough to make Fang Hong feel any dread.

Since he had already made a move, Fang Hong naturally could not let this Nine-Headed Serpent go.

Fang Hong locked the Black-robed Youth’s soul into the demon soul banner, then put away his corpse, and quickly left Divine Thunder Mountain...

Not long after, Fang Hong carved out a hidden cave in a valley near Divine Thunder Mountain.

Fang Hong flashed into the cave, set up a simple restriction at the entrance, and then began to perform a soul search on the Black-robed Youth...

After some soul searching, Fang Hong finally figured out the other party’s background.

The Black-robed Youth was named "Jiuyi" and was indeed the grandson of "Great Emperor Jiuyuan."

And that Great Emperor Jiuyuan was the only Old Ancestor of the entire Nine-Headed Serpent Clan, possessing the genuine cultivation of a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor.

Moreover, Jiuyi had not lied; the moment Fang Hong had made his move, he had indeed used a soul secret technique from his clan’s inheritance to transmit Fang Hong’s appearance to his grandfather, Great Emperor Jiuyuan, waiting for his grandfather to come and avenge him.

Facing this situation, Fang Hong was not panicked in the slightest.

What Jiuyi had transmitted was the appearance of a Black Bear; what did that have to do with him, Fang Hong?

As long as he changed his appearance afterward—whether by restoring his original form or transforming into another member of the demon race—Great Emperor Jiuyuan would not necessarily be able to recognize him.

Unless Great Emperor Jiuyuan had cultivated some sort of profound ocular technique.

For the sake of safety, Fang Hong decided to completely eliminate the hidden danger and refined Jiuyi’s soul into the demon soul banner bit by bit.

In this way, even if Great Emperor Jiuyuan had some special soul sensing secret technique, it would be extremely difficult for him to find his location based on Jiuyi’s soul aura...

Time flew by, and soon it was the thirtieth day since entering the Ancient Demon Realm.

There was only one hour left until the Ancient Demon Realm closed completely. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

By this time, Fang Hong had successfully completely refined Jiuyi’s soul, causing it to thoroughly merge into the demon soul banner.

And Jiuyi’s physical body had already been refined by the Demon Gourd into an Immortal Emperor Peak dao pill, just waiting for a future opportunity to be absorbed and refined.

Besides this, Fang Hong also carefully searched through Jiuyi’s storage device.

Unfortunately, there were no particularly precious treasures inside.

There were only some immortal herbs of decent age, and a sixth-grade dao artifact that Jiuyi used daily; it could be considered a small harvest.

That sixth-grade dao artifact was of no great use to Fang Hong, so he fed it to the fire cloud gourd.

Seeing that there was only a little time left, Fang Hong was too lazy to run around looking for immortal herbs.

He simply sat quietly in the cave, waiting for the Ancient Demon Realm to close; at that time, he would naturally be teleported out.

Before being teleported, Fang Hong once again used a transformation Dao Techniques to completely change his Black Bear appearance, turning into the likeness of a Tiger-Headed Person.

At the same time, Fang Hong suppressed his aura down to the Early Stage Immortal Emperor level; this way, even if Great Emperor Jiuyuan were right in front of him, it would be very difficult for him to recognize him.

Not long after, the Ancient Demon Realm closed completely.

Space fluctuated violently, and the entire realm slowly moved away from the Immortal Realm.

All outsiders from the Immortal Realm were wrapped in a force of space and forcibly teleported back to Ancient Demon Mountain.

At this moment, on the outskirts of Ancient Demon Mountain, a Black-Clothed Old Man stood to the side, his expression extremely gloomy, his entire body radiating a terrifying Killing Intent.

A pair of bloodshot eyes were fixed intently on the Demonic cultivators being teleported out one after another, as if wanting to devour someone alive!

This Black-Clothed Old Man was none other than the Great Emperor Jiuyuan, who had rushed over in a hurry.

The moment he sensed that his grandson Jiuyi’s soul had completely dissipated, he knew that his beloved grandson had met with disaster and immediately rushed to Ancient Demon Mountain.

Great Emperor Jiuyuan now had only one thought in his mind: to find that black bear demon who killed his grandson, extract its bones, refine its soul, and avenge his beloved grandson!

"Jiuyuan? Why are you here?"

The golden-robed Immortal Emperor Elder from the Dragon Clan saw Jiuyuan’s figure, walked up, and asked curiously.

"Elder Wu, my beloved grandson met with disaster in the Ancient Demon Realm. I have come here specially today to apprehend the murderer who killed my grandson."

Great Emperor Jiuyuan suppressed the raging fire in his heart and responded politely to Elder Wu.

"The murderer? Could it be that one of our Dragon Clan’s disciples did it?" Elder Wu frowned, his tone becoming serious.

"No, no, Elder Wu has misunderstood. It is not one of your noble clan’s disciples, but a damned black bear demon." Great Emperor Jiuyuan hurriedly waved his hands.

The Dragon Clan was powerful; if it had truly been a Dragon Clan disciple who killed his grandson, he would have had no choice but to accept his fate, and he would never have dared to come here to seek revenge.
