Ze Ming clearly sensed that his authority was shackled.
Within the divine, the Divine Fire that represented Bai Suxi's life was entwined and bound by a pale light flow chain, slowly tightening as if it would extinguish the Divine Fire at any moment, depriving Bai Suxi of her life.
And upon the chain flowed densely packed ancient characters, gathering at the central Divine Fire to form an indiscernible mysterious character.
Is this... a Slave Mark? Ze's heart was shocked, unbelievable.
How could this world possibly possess the ability to enslave gods?
Ze's thoughts were momentarily chaotic, fear arising in his heart. Was this the deed of an Evil Demon?
At the same time, the Slave Mark's light form shifted, the stream splitting in two.
The second mysterious Slave Mark transformed into a crossed-command sword, flying directly in front of His Divine Fire, hovering.
Ze instantly understood, Xu's Divine Fire was threatened by the gradually tightening Slave Mark, and the second Slave Mark flying before Him was clearly a threat—accept the Slave Mark, or Bai Suxi would be killed!
Damn Evil Demon! Rage surged from within, but He knew that now was not the time for rash actions.
He still didn't know Xu's condition and couldn't act recklessly.
However, He also couldn't simply allow Himself to be captured. This ability to enslave gods, even for the Evil Demon, would not be wasted lightly, so the Evil Demon wouldn't really kill Bai Suxi.
For an isolated Evil Demon, a living god was far more valuable than a dead one.
Therefore, the situation wasn't the worst; there was still room for negotiation.
His thoughts racing, He lifted His massive skull, noticing the gazes of the gods upon Him; His voice slightly heavy, "I can't reach Xu, I'll go in personally to see."

"Dragon God, I leave her to you for training; I'll go out first."
After completing the enslavement, Xia Feng didn't delay, allowing Evil Dragon Miss to continue beating Bai Suxi, while he returned to the Refining God Tower.
Now, a problem that needed solving was the uncontrollable factor of another Bone-Faced Evil God—how to control Ze as well was a challenge.
If Ze wasn't enslaved too, then the enslavement effect of the Dragon God Order would be incomplete, only fulfilled by 1/2.
Bai Suxi still had the possibility to counter and escape.
Thus, he had just used the Dragon God Order to threaten Ze, believing that this existence would soon appear.
Returning to the Refining God Tower, Xia Feng looked around.
He Jianzhu's hands floated numerous red threads, condensing into a classical scissors with a carved handle.
The scissors darted into Ri Nuo's brow, flying out from the back of his head, bringing out a red light orb, suspended over He Jianzhu's palm.
On the Blood Throne, the man's Nuom face lifted slightly, his gaze resting on the returning Xia Feng, and he said with a light laugh in a soft voice, "Under the Evil Demon, I hope the next time we meet, we will not be enemies."
With that, his black-suited figure, like a paper burned by candles, split into charred black holes, along with the Blood Throne beneath him, quickly burned entirely, turning to ashes.
The breath of life extinguished.
Damn, did he... run away? Or did he kill himself? Xia Feng raised an eyebrow, looking at He Jianzhu, puzzled, "What's going on?"
"Ri Nuo, like me, has many Diversion Bodies; this Diversion Body knew that staying would mean being refined by you, so it killed itself."
"After the suicide, the memory of the Diversion Body will return to the main body."
He Jianzhu quietly explained, taking the red light orb into his palm, "This light orb contains his memories of the last hour, which I have cut off, so you can rest assured, at least for the next year or so, he won't be aware of your existence."
"Of course, if he ever finds out about your existence in the future, he'll 100% come looking for trouble," Miss Jianzhu explained. "And if I'm not by your side then, you'll have to deal with Ri Nuo, this big problem, by yourself."
"Just to remind you though, Sir Ri Nuo is not as simple as a Seventh Rank Sage. His Diversion Body is not so strong, which is why I was able to seal him easily back then."
Listening to Miss Jianzhu's explanation, Xia Feng felt overwhelmed. Good heavens, a Diversion Body with the strength of a Seventh Rank Sage? And that's considered not strong?
How formidable must the real body of Ri Nuo be?
"Oh, right, Ri Nuo has a keen interest in Evil Demons. He might have already figured out a way to imprison them."
"But well, since you're clinging to Dragon God's coattails, you don't have to panic too much."
He Jianzhu patted his shoulder with a reassuring, gentle smile. "If you really can't beat Ri Nuo, just take refuge in the Sealed Land."
".....!" Thanks a lot! Xia Feng rolled his eyes—never had he anticipated that this eerie man with the Nuom mask could be so much more troublesome than he'd imagined.
Especially possessing a Diversion Body like He Jianzhu, that alone was disgustingly annoying!
"So, what exactly is a Diversion Body? Is it an S-rank Spiritual Clothes?" Xia Feng suppressed the helplessness of provoking a great enemy and asked curiously.
"It's not Spiritual Clothes."
Seeing his curiosity, He Jianzhu did not hide the truth and explained, "It's one of the functions of the Divine Relics from the Three Saint Star Gods·Sanqing Holy Spirit."
Three Saint Star Gods? Xia Feng was startled. He naturally had heard of this Star God.
The strongest Star God in the Star Realm!
"After the demise of the Three Saints, some of their authority transformed into Divine Relics. The Sanqing Holy Spirit split into three pieces and scattered across the world."
"Ri Nuo and I each obtained one piece, and the remaining Holy Spirit is unaccounted for."
"However, based on my speculation, this Holy Spirit is likely hidden within the Holy Spirit Temple, guarded by the three religions of the Empire."
The Holy Spirit Temple was located in Saint Roy City, also known as Holy City, the sacred religious site of the Empire's 41st zone.
Xia Feng naturally knew of this place; after all, Holy City was adjacent to East Victory Fortress. At that time, Lord Yeli Dong, Angel Yophiel, Red Bishop Obrian, and Tian Yuan had surrounded him and Miss Mu, coming from the Holy Spirit Temple.
The deep enmity of his near-death experience was not something he could easily forget.
As he contemplated, Xia Feng cast his gaze toward the not-too-distant light. seaʀᴄh thё nôvelFire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
The Light Form of Lord Peach Blossom flickered uncertainly, fully succumbing to unconsciousness now.
As for She Pan, his face showed sheer terror as he struggled within the prison constructed by the Blood Beasts.
The moment She Pan saw Xia Feng emerge, he knew his only hope for survival was entirely shattered...
"Ah, Evil Demon! I wish to serve you as—" She Pan's trembling voice cut short as he screamed in agony, his soul disintegrating as Blood Beasts flooded into his mouth and nose.
His eyes dimmed, death ensued.
She Pan, just as weak as Xia Feng himself, didn't even qualify to be refined by the Refining God Tower; thus, Xia Feng killed him swiftly and decisively.
Meanwhile, space subtly fluctuated, and a pale light flashed by.
A woman in a tattered white dress, revealing large patches of pale skin, tumbled out of the space.
Her long white hair hung over her slender waist, lips wet and sticky, her beautiful face sweat-drenched, bearing colors of humiliation and anger.
Clearly, she had been terribly mistreated by Evil Dragon Miss.
Upon returning here and seeing Xia Feng, the cold woman's vertical pupils sharpened, filled with chilling ferocity as she hissed and charged directly at Xia Feng!
"I will kill you!!"
