The two elders of the Xia Family supported each other and left Sheep Street without looking back.
Xia Canghai awoke as if from a dream, hurriedly following the two elders. Xia Yihang said, "We are fine. Canghai, quickly go find Xuanming!"
Xia Canghai swiftly flew away.
Not long after, Xia Canghai, Xia Yihang, Xia Min, and Xia Xuanming arrived at the study of the Xia residence. Xia Min sat down with difficulty and saw Xia Xuanming's transcription of the Posthumous Manifesto on the desk.
What is difficult to resolve is the matter itself.
For some reason, these words seemed so glaringly eye-catching.
"Who exactly are these people?"
Xia Yihang's eyes revealed a look of fear as he murmured, "Why have we never heard of such a group before? Their strength is probably no less than our ancestors!"
"They should be Evil Transformed Independents."
Xia Min pondered for a moment and said, "I once heard that seven hundred years ago, a genius disciple appeared in the Xia Family, with outstanding qualifications, but he was not valued because he was an external child. This person later left the Xia Family and became an Independent. At that time, the Sect Master of the Xia Family had a grudge against him, and later this person came back for revenge, severely injuring the Sect Master to avenge the humiliation of the past. Another hundred years passed, the Sect Master passed away, and he came to pay respects, looking exactly the same as when he left, showing no signs of aging. Two hundred years later, someone saw him in Qing Province, claiming to be an Independent Immortal. Over several hundred years, many people in the Xia Family have also seen him. My father said this person is extreme in his actions, practicing Evil Skills, entered the Demon Path, and is now an Evil Spirit, no longer human."
The crowd was alarmed upon hearing this.
Xia Xuanming tentatively asked, "You mean to say that those who came looking for Chen Shi are all Evil Transformed Independents?"
"Quite possibly."
Xia Min said, "Perhaps seeking the forces of the Underworld might be the only way to deal with these people. But now the Xia family's power is not as great as before, so we can't afford such troubles. Since Chen Shi went to Beilai City to buy shoes, let him do so and send this Plague God away as soon as possible, to avoid further complications."
Everyone nodded, but a feeling of frustration lingered in their hearts.
As one of the Thirteen Families, the Xia Family had been a mighty power since the True King Era. When had they ever been blocked at their doorstep and dared not say anything?
Feng Ruotong and the Great Sacrificial Wine still sat at the table, motionless.
Both felt a sense of being trapped. They'd once clashed without a decisive victory, both seriously injured. Over the years, neither was sure of entirely defeating the other. Both had slight advantages, but the differences weren't significant, and neither could guarantee a win if they acted rashly.
Meanwhile, in a nearby teahouse, the Demon Qi was intensifying.
Both even sensed a peculiar Daoist Field spreading from the teahouse, gradually expanding outward.
This Daoist Field was similar to a Demon Domain formed by Demon Transformation. A Demon Domain assimilates everything into the Demon Path, usually taking a hundred days to complete the Demon Transformation, yet this Demon Path Dojo affected the Heaven and Earth Great Dao in just a few moments.
The Black Pot, originally a half-demon half-ghost peculiar creature, felt most acutely, feeling at ease in this Daoist Field without any discomfort.
Previously, when it stayed in the Mortal World, it could only act as a regular dog, at most affecting others' consciousness. In the underworld, it could turn into a Huo Dou and wreak havoc. But in this Demon Path Dojo, it felt it could unleash more than its full potential, even more!
The people in the Divine Capital also sensed the anomaly.
They felt the restless Evil Qi within their bodies suddenly becoming incredibly lively but not as evil and chaotic as before. Instead of growing without order, the Evil Qi seemed to follow some unique rule, becoming orderly and obedient.
For the first time, they felt a sense of mastering the Demon Path!
Previously, they had always struggled to control their Evil Qi and nature, lest they be completely overpowered by it and become monsters of pure slaughter. They could only stay in the underworld and not often go to the Mortal World, lest the Mortal World's Sun Qi provoke an involuntary Evil Transformation.
But now, they felt an incredibly free and comfortable sense of breathing.
"This is the true Demon Path," a Daoist sighed.
Others nodded in agreement, looking at Chen Shi in the teahouse, unable to hide their excitement.
True Demon Technique could solve the hidden dangers within each of them, how could they not be excited?
Feng Ruotong snorted coldly, and behind him, a blast of Immortal Light shot skyward, aiming to break Chen Shi's Demon Path Dojo!
He also sensed the impact of Chen Shi's Demon Path Dojo on these disasters, understanding that Chen Shi's establishment of Demon Technique was extraordinary, so he disregarded the stalemate with the Great Sacrificial Wine, intending to break Chen Shi's Dojo and kill him!
But at the instant the Immortal Light erupted behind him, the Great Sacrificial Wine laughed loudly, the tea table soared up, with the two men and a dog still sitting by the table, flying into the sky!
The Great Sacrificial Wine cast a burst of finger strength, piercing through Feng Ruotong's heart!
At the same time, Immortal Light burst from Feng Ruotong's left hand fingers, striking the Great Sacrificial Wine's throat!
Both seized that fleeting opportunity, no longer holding back. Feng Ruotong initially tried to kill Chen Shi, putting himself at a disadvantage, getting his heart pierced by the Great Sacrificial Wine, but because the Great Sacrificial Wine aimed to save Chen Shi by moving the tea table, he wasted that slight chance.
Both struck almost simultaneously, both injured!
However, as the Great Sacrificial Wine struck while within Chen Shi's Demon Path Dojo, aided by Chen Shi's Dojo to soothe internal Evil Qi, he inadvertently took a significant advantage. With a crack, he broke one of Feng Ruotong's ribs, and his finger strength pierced straight into his heart, nearly shattering it!
Feng Ruotong's two fingers' Immortal Light pierced the Great Sacrificial Wine's throat, which should have decapitated him. However, it merely sliced a large opening in his neck.
