My Wife Divorced me At the Start but I Gained a Billionfold Repayment System

Chapter 48: Stopping the Bone Demon Immortal King

In the Myriad Demons Mountain Range, Feng Qingyu’s expression was extremely unsightly as she looked at the completely empty residence before her.

“Niece Feng, are you certain it was here?”

At the side, Wu Wuji carefully examined the surrounding area. At the very least, no one had lived here for more than three years.

Feng Qingyu’s expression turned grave as she nodded.

“There is no way I could forget this place. It was here.”

“In that case, once Fu Qitian learned back then that you and Elder Chen came from Qingfeng Sacred Land, he must have grown fearful and left the Myriad Demons Mountain Range.”

After a brief moment of thought, Wu Wuji quickly arrived at that conclusion.

Hearing that, Feng Qingyu immediately grew anxious and hurriedly asked, “Then, Fifth Elder, what should we do now?”

“Let us return first and discuss it with your master.”

Wu Wuji did not have any good suggestions either. He was not Feng Qingyu’s master, after all.

Hearing that, Feng Qingyu could only agree. But as she turned around, the more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She struck out with a backhanded palm, intending to shatter the residence.

Yet with her Monarch Realm cultivation, she could not even destroy a single residence.

“It is only natural that you cannot damage it. Fu Qitian likely built this residence using his own Saintly Resonance. Since your cultivation is beneath his, naturally you cannot shatter it.”

After saying that, Wu Wuji personally made his move. With a single palm, he smashed apart the residence where Lu Xunxian and the others had once lived.

At the same moment they destroyed the residence, Lu Xunxian, who was within the Myriad Dao Academy, sensed it as well.

A slight frown appeared between Lu Xunxian’s brows. He closed his eyes, and in an instant, he saw what had happened in the Myriad Demons Mountain Range.

“Feng Qingyu again. What exactly is she trying to do?”

But he did not make a move against Feng Qingyu.

First, Feng Qingyu was currently his Dao Companion bound to the system. If she died, he would no longer be able to find another Dao Companion with a Saint Grade Spiritual Root.

Second, no matter what, she was still the children’s mother. If he killed Feng Qingyu, he also worried that the two children might come to resent him.

As for that residence, if it was destroyed, then so be it.

He did not bother with it any further, because the two children had already returned.

In the Immortal Realm, at the Ascension Node of Tiansheng Continent, the two True Immortal elders from the Primordial Sect had already arrived at the Ascension Node and had been waiting there for quite some time.

Not long after they reached the Ascension Node of Tiansheng Continent, two figures wreathed in dense demonic power came from afar. In no more than an instant, they appeared before them.

The two elders’ expressions immediately turned grave, because they could sense that the newcomers were no weaker than they were.

Very soon, the two figures stopped before the two True Immortal elders of the Primordial Sect, their expressions far from pleasant.

“We come on behalf of the Bone Demon Immortal King. We ask that you two step aside.”

They were none other than Tuntian and Shidi, whose cultivation was likewise at the Peak of the True Immortal Realm.

With the Bone Demon Immortal King standing behind them, they naturally had no need to fear most people in the Immortal Realm. Still, just to be safe, their tone toward the two elders of the Primordial Sect remained relatively courteous.

But the two elders of the Primordial Sect had come precisely under orders to stop them. How could they possibly step aside?

“Apologies. We have come under our Sect Master’s orders to forbid anyone from entering Tiansheng Continent.”

The moment those words fell, Tuntian and Shidi’s expressions darkened at once, and they asked,

“And your Sect Master is?”

“The Primordial Immortal King.”

When they spoke their Sect Master’s title, pride was plainly written across their faces.

Tuntian and Shidi’s expressions grew even uglier. After exchanging a glance, Tuntian flicked his hand and took out a pitch-black jade talisman the size of a palm, then crushed it with a slight exertion of force.

In the next moment, dense Demonic Qi surged out of the jade talisman and condensed into the form of the Bone Demon Immortal King.

“What happened?”

“Master, the Primordial Sect has intervened.”

Tuntian and Shidi hurriedly dropped to their knees and answered respectfully.

Only then did the Bone Demon Immortal King take notice of the two elders of the Primordial Sect in the distance.

And the expressions of those two elders became even more wary as the Bone Demon Immortal King’s projection descended.

“Oh? Your Primordial Sect intends to interfere? If you leave now, This Venerable One can choose not to hold it against your Primordial Sect. Otherwise, your Primordial Sect’s disciples had best forget about going outside again in the future.”

The Bone Demon Immortal King’s threat was completely naked. He was, after all, a solitary figure with no burdens. If he truly set his sights on the Primordial Sect, the Primordial Sect would likely have no way to deal with him at all.

The expressions of the Primordial Sect elders turned extremely ugly. They wanted to say something, but the Bone Demon Immortal King cut them off.

“This Venerable One knows that fellow Primordial has ties to Tiansheng Continent, so This Venerable One can guarantee that I will not wipe out the entirety of Tiansheng Continent. That is the only concession I will make.”

“If you are unwilling to accept even that, then This Venerable One would not mind going to your Primordial Sect and having a little discussion of the Dao with your Sect Master.”

Just then, two more figures came rushing over from the distance.

“Oh? If the Primordial Sect alone is not enough, then how about adding our Ancient Wood Sect as well?”

The newcomers wore green robes embroidered with a towering tree. They were the elders of the Ancient Wood Sect.

The moment the elders of the Ancient Wood Sect arrived, they took their stand beside the elders of the Primordial Sect, joining them in confronting the Bone Demon Immortal King.

The Bone Demon Immortal King’s expression also grew exceedingly ugly with the arrival of the elders of the Ancient Wood Sect.

If it were only the Primordial Sect, naturally he would not fear them.

But now that the Ancient Wood Sect had been added as well, he had to weigh the matter carefully.

If these two major powers joined forces, then by paying a certain price, they might truly be able to take him down.

For the sake of a furnace vessel that had not yet fully matured, taking such a risk did not seem worthwhile.

At that thought, the Bone Demon Immortal King let out a cold snort and said,

“You may be able to protect him for a time, but you cannot protect him forever.”

“When he Ascends, I will personally take his life!”

“For today, I will give face to your Ancient Wood Sect and Primordial Sect and refrain from acting for now.”

“We’re leaving!”

With that, the Bone Demon Immortal King’s projection dissipated, and Tuntian and Shidi did not linger either, hurrying away.

After they left, the two elders of the Primordial Sect turned to the elders of the Ancient Wood Sect and thanked them.

“Many thanks to you both for coming to help.”

“There is no need for thanks. If the Bone Demon Immortal King were allowed to descend to the Lower Realm, it would only damage our Ancient Wood Sect’s Dao Lineage in Tiansheng Continent.”

The elders of the Ancient Wood Sect waved their hands as they spoke.

They did not mention Lu Xunxian, nor did they bring up the Holy Maiden of their Ancient Wood Sect in the Lower Realm.

The elders of the Primordial Sect did the same.

Although the two sects were on good terms, there was no need to share such important information.

After a round of pleasantries, they each left the Ascension Node.

Of course, they also left measures behind at the Ascension Node, in case the Bone Demon Immortal King went back on his word and suddenly turned around to come back and kill his way through.

At Bone Demon Mountain, the Bone Demon Immortal King abruptly opened his eyes, which were filled with fury.

“Damn it. I did not expect that brat to have ties to both the Ancient Wood Sect and the Primordial Sect.”

“This old man miscalculated.”

“But it does not matter. Another furnace vessel is about to mature. Once this old man absorbs that one’s power, I can attempt to break into the Immortal Monarch Realm.”

“Once this old man breaks through to the Immortal Monarch Realm, it will not matter whether you are the Primordial Immortal King or the Ancient Wood Immortal King. You will both die by this old man’s hand!”

“Heh heh... Heh heh heh!”

The Bone Demon Immortal King’s shrill laughter echoed throughout Bone Demon Mountain, eerie beyond words.
