Minghe Laozu listened to Xu Fang's words, not understanding their meaning. He looked towards Xu Fang, even more bewildered.
Xu Fang's magical treasure had not been put away since it appeared. What was he trying to do?
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, why do you have such thoughts?"
Minghe Laozu was filled with grievance, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"I sincerely invited you to be a guest in the Blood Sea, do you really think I wanted to kill you?"
"Even if that were the case, would the price I paid be too high?"
Minghe Laozu couldn't comprehend Xu Fang's train of thought. The continuous explosions in the Blood Sea were all because he, Minghe, was willing to sacrifice his entire clan just to kill Xu Fang?
"I also don't think you, Minghe, are such an idiot that you'd give up your entire clan just to kill me, Xu Fang."
Seeing Minghe Laozu's appearance, Xu Fang was sure this matter wasn't his doing. He then fixed his gaze back on the man at the forefront.
"Fellow Daoist Minghe, don't you find it strange?"
"What's strange? Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, stop talking. Let's quickly go to the Blood Sea and resolve this matter!"
Minghe Laozu had no intention of wasting time. He just wanted to quickly rush to the Blood Sea, investigate the situation, and restore peace to his Blood Sea.
Seeing this, Xu Fang didn't mind. He understood Minghe's eagerness to save his home.
So, Xu Fang patiently began to explain to Minghe Laozu.
"Fellow Daoist Minghe, think about it. Why haven't we seen any living beings after descending into the Blood Sea for so long?"
As Xu Fang spoke, he pointed to the dozens of figures standing opposite them.
"Why did these individuals appear only when we revealed the great formation?"
"As the supreme being in the Blood Sea, shouldn't they have welcomed you immediately upon your return?"
These words did indeed alert Minghe Laozu. He immediately looked towards those figures and questioned them.
"Speak! Why are you so late to greet me? Such negligence!"
Upon hearing this, the beings' gazes remained fixed on the nameless man at the front. As expected, the nameless man cupped his hands in greeting to Minghe Laozu and replied.
"Ancestor, please forgive us. The Blood Sea experienced a sudden变故, and we were caught off guard. We truly didn't notice your return."
As he spoke, the nameless man urged them on.
"Please, Ancestor, hurry into the Blood Sea and resolve this变故!"
Minghe Laozu felt that what the nameless man said was reasonable. He immediately prepared to leave.
Xu Fang, with quick hands, grabbed him and looked at the nameless man who was bowing.
"Forget it. Since you're all so good at pretending, I'll just be direct!"
"I just want to ask, where did that treasure you're wearing come from!"
As Xu Fang spoke, he moved his mind. The aura of spiritual treasures spread out, and the Ruyi Jingu Bang instantly lengthened, extending directly towards the nameless man.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, you!"
Minghe Laozu was shocked. Looking at the momentum, the Ruyi Jingu Bang would pierce through the nameless man in an instant!
Just as he was about to make a move, he saw black energy surge from the nameless man, instantly forming a protective shield. The Ruyi Jingu Bang, which was ferociously advancing, immediately struck the shield.
Boom!
After a loud bang, the Ruyi Jingu Bang was repelled and recoiled. Looking at the nameless man, he was completely unharmed.
"That was close, I almost..."
Minghe Laozu was about to exclaim in relief, thinking they had narrowly avoided disaster. He stopped mid-sentence, staring blankly at the nameless man.
At this moment, black energy permeated the nameless man, and killing intent surged over the black energy, reflecting each other and intertwining. A black lotus also slowly rose behind the nameless man.
"Twelve-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus!"
Minghe Laozu, being a powerful being, immediately recognized the origin of this black lotus. Wasn't this the World-Destroying Black Lotus that the Demon Ancestor Luohu had lost without a trace after his defeat?
"See? With the World-Destroying Black Lotus appearing, Fellow Daoist Minghe, do you still think this person is your loyal subordinate?"
Xu Fang seized the opportunity to speak. As soon as this group of figures appeared earlier, he had detected the World-Destroying Black Lotus on the nameless man through the treasure map.
Therefore, after his own treasure appeared, Xu Fang had never recalled it, always remaining vigilant for a sudden attack from the opposite side.
He hadn't expected this nameless man to be so skilled at pretending, intending to lure them in and kill them.
And now, with the black lotus revealed, the nameless man remained unchanged in his ambition, smiling calmly.
"Fellow Daoist Xu Fang, you must be the master of Penglai Immortal Island who displayed great power in the battle of Penglai Immortal Island."
"Island Master Xu Fang, we are remnants of the demonic path. It is not unusual for us to possess some of the Demon Ancestor's magical treasures, is it?"
As the nameless man spoke, he looked at Minghe Laozu and said.
"Ancestor, do not worry. Please return to the Blood Sea immediately and resolve the turmoil there!"
Minghe Laozu looked at the smiling nameless man and then at the World-Destroying Black Lotus floating above his head. He was instantly enraged.
"Wuming, do you have to insult me like this!"
Minghe Laozu was extremely angry, pointing his finger at Wuming, trembling.
"Tell me, what do you mean by 'normal'? How is possessing the World-Destroying Black Lotus normal?"
All normal cultivators knew that the World-Destroying Black Lotus was formed from an immature lotus seed of the Primordial Green Lotus, a treasure that was hard to come by.
The Primordial Green Lotus was the supreme magical treasure that nurtured the great god Pangu. How could the treasures formed from its lotus seeds be underestimated? They were things that all living beings yearned for and had always been in the hands of powerful beings.
In the past, this World-Destroying Black Lotus was in the hands of the Demon Ancestor Luohu. As the Demon Ancestor Luohu conquered in all directions and his fame was immense, you tell me inheriting the World-Destroying Black Lotus is normal? Aren't you bullying the honest Minghe?
Minghe Laozu looked at the smiling Wuming, his face growing increasingly grim. He coldly demanded.
"Who exactly are you? Did you cause the unrest above the Blood Sea!"
"Enough, enough. I originally wanted to let you leave with dignity out of gratitude for you taking me in. Now, that is impossible."
Upon hearing this, Wuming knew he could no longer deceive Minghe Laozu. He shook his head and said.
"Since that's the case, Minghe Laozu, I will let you die with understanding. I am..."
"Oh, he is the Demon Luo Wutian, a subordinate of the Demon Ancestor Luohu!"
Wuming's aura erupted, and killing intent flowed and circulated. He was about to loudly announce his name, but at this moment, Xu Fang interjected.
Since the World-Destroying Black Lotus had appeared, it was very easy for Xu Fang to know who its owner was. He just needed to check the description of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
This greatly demoralized Wuming, whose aura had been surging. He cast a cold glance at Xu Fang.
"Island Master Xu Fang, that's not honorable of you!"
"If I'm not honorable, are you any more honorable? Minghe took you in, and you still planned to kill him and usurp his nest? And you have the nerve to talk about honor? Heh heh!"
Xu Fang retorted forcefully. Wasn't this bullying the honest Minghe?
Meanwhile, Minghe Laozu was shocked beyond words, his mouth agape.
He could never have imagined that the demonic cultivator he had taken in back then was actually Wutian, one of the four Demon Luos under the Demon Ancestor Luohu!
