The black light fell upon the ruins of the Demon Tower, transforming into a Nine-Headed Black Phoenix. After a sorrowful and furious cry, a man clad in phoenix robes and wearing a black and gold crown appeared atop the wreckage, glaring angrily at the giant axe hovering in the void above, his eyes filled with resentment.
"Brother, can't you spare me just this once? The Silver Luan has already taken his own life. Can you really bear to drag me into the Underworld with you?" The man shouted hoarsely.
"Ghost Car! The moment you struck down eighty-one Fenglong Fengding for me, you ceased to be my brother!" The massive axe blade transformed into a giant dragon lying across the void, blocking the rift torn open by the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower.
"Brother, I was raised by you! Are you really going to let me perish?" The man struggled in despair.
In the void, Pangu's voice did not respond immediately. After a long silence, there came a deep sigh, followed by Pangu's words: "You bring up the past, but I need not retaliate with it. From the moment you were born, you were exiled in the Dimension's quicksand. I raised you, taught you to cultivate, helped you reclaim the Fenglong Fengding of the Black Phoenix clan. Yet in the end, the phoenix nail I helped you retrieve has been driven into my own body."
As Ghost Car looked at the dragon in the sky, his heart, which had been struggling against fate, gave up at those words. Watching the dragon soul gradually dissipate in the void, memories of his brother's earnest teachings flooded back to him. He recalled how he had plotted against his brother for the sake of rewards from their organization. A tear finally appeared at the corner of Ghost Car's eye as he bowed his head and said, "Brother, I was wrong!"
This apology came too late; however, Pangu accepted it graciously. The dragon formed from Pangu vanished from the void, leaving behind one last message: "I accept your apology; as your brother, I can forgive everything! You may go!" With that, the dragon disappeared. At this moment, the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower was nearing its final obliteration. Ghost Car had prepared himself to die there; however, Pangu's words ignited his desire to survive.
A black arrow pierced through the only rift in Dimension, and Ghost Car darted out. Yet just as he emerged, his body was hurled back faster than he had escaped. The eight heads of the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix were severed, and only one head hung weakly by its wings. Meanwhile, a sharp sword wound pierced through Ghost Car's chest, cutting through his heart.
"Why? Why?" Ghost Car murmured helplessly as his head drooped in defeat. He died and transformed into a dark Beast Core; upon closer inspection, one could still see his phantom flickering within it.
At that moment, as the space of the Nine-Tiered Demon Tower shattered, the Beast Core of the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix fell into the void. Just then, a hand covered in crimson scales reached for this Beast Core accompanied by a deep voice muttering to itself.
"The Demon Crystal of the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix is indeed a rare treasure!" As this hand grasped the Demon Crystal, a massive axe blade fell from above in the fading void—just like when it had severed An Bei Luo Yu's hand. The scaled hand was also cut off by the axe blade; as it lost its grip on the Demon Crystal, it slipped away and fell into nothingness. After a scream echoed through the void, that deep voice declared: "Pangu, you truly are something! But our Gecko clan fears not losing an arm! You can keep this person's Demon Crystal!"
Then this space was forcibly shattered ahead of time. The half-suspended axe blade cradled the Demon Crystal of the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix as if saving Ghost Car when he was just born. Thus ended any remaining breath between these two brothers in that void as this realm of Nine-Tiered Demon Suppression Tower vanished.
However, everyone could imagine that at that very moment when the Demon Crystal of the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix was swept away by Dimension's quicksand river, it was caught by a strange wind and disappeared into that chaotic void.
Ignoring the whereabouts of the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix's Demon Crystal for now, countless figures on Taiyu Island were fixated on a narrow passage. It had been two hours since Xiao Yefeng and the others disappeared. Reinforcements from Huaxia had already arrived, and Liu Entai, who had been injured by Abe Rōyu, had been sent back to Beijing North for treatment. However, the global outbreak of Gene Warrior riots was severe, especially in Huaxia, which had the second-largest population in the world.
Members of the Metaphysics Society were almost all deployed, and in nearly every city, there were incidents involving Beastification Gene Warriors causing casualties among ordinary people. In the face of these Beastification Gene Warriors, regular police officers could no longer hold their ground. Consequently, various countries had dispatched units composed of Gene Warriors to suppress the chaos.
At this moment, there weren't many people guarding this location. However, what was problematic was that three factions had gathered here: the Metaphysics Society, the Yin Yang Master of Wa Country, and a unit from Perfect World. Upon encountering each other, they immediately engaged in combat. The three sides were evenly matched, leading to a stalemate as they all focused on the entrance.
Suddenly, four figures appeared at the cave's mouth and were swiftly enveloped by Perfect World's team and taken away. These four were none other than the Masked Man and his companions. However, their expressions were grim; although they had made some gains during this mission, they had failed to acquire the core of the Demon Emperor. Aside from the Masked Man and the one wearing a straw hat whose expression was hidden, both Lu Zhan and the bald man looked extremely tense.
In a flash of light, the injured Abe Rōyu was brought back by Kazama Tadao along with two others to join the Yin Yang Master of Wa Country's team. Both sides breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing their members return. Only the members of the Metaphysics Society grew anxious as they noticed Xiao Yefeng's figure had yet to appear.
After a brief discussion, both Perfect World and Onmyoji decided to retreat simultaneously, ultimately jumping into the sea and disappearing before the eyes of the Metaphysics Society members. At this moment, Xiao Ling, with her long red hair flowing behind her, looked at the departing factions and asked, "Shouldn't we pursue them?"
"No need! From their appearance, it seems they didn't obtain what they wanted. They also don't look like they succeeded in dealing with Feng; it appears Ming Feng has emerged victorious. Their retreat indicates they want to protect themselves while also observing our actions within the Metaphysics Society. I suspect this mysterious relic is extraordinary. Abe Rōyu is a key target for cultivation by the Abe Family; returning with a severed arm suggests he suffered a significant loss!" Mo Fei replied while carrying two straight swords.
"Yes! You're right! Then we can only wait for Master Xiao!" Xiao Ling said admiringly as she looked at her husband.
Over these past few years, Mo Fei had transformed from a simple martial artist into an important member of the military. Whether it was combat command or overall analysis, he had evolved from a warrior into a competent leader.
Just then, Xiao Yefeng's voice echoed out: "Fei Ge's analysis is spot on. Leave all troops here to continue guarding this area. Fei Ge, let's go; we’ll take a helicopter back to Beijing North!"
Though surprised by Xiao Yefeng's voice without seeing him, Mo Fei exchanged glances with Xiao Ling before saying, "Everyone continue waiting for Xiao Yefeng's appearance. I've received instructions from above and need to return to Beijing North first. Major Fan, I leave everything here under your command!"
With that, Mo Fei personally piloted the helicopter away with Xiao Ling beside him. Meanwhile, not far away in the sea, the Masked Man led his Perfect World team as they kept watch over Taiyu Island. Noticing the helicopter's departure, he touched the pendant on his chest and said, "Let's go; we missed our chance to seize the Demon Emperor's core this time—Xiao Yefeng has already left!"
"What? How are we going to explain this to Master? Are we just going to go back and face death?" Lu Zhan said anxiously.
"He's on that plane right now. If you have the ability, shoot down that plane a thousand meters away. If not, just come back with me and accept your punishment!" the Masked Man replied irritably.
"You! Don't think just because Master favors you, you can command me. Who do you think you are, popping up out of nowhere and trying to replace our contributions in the organization? I tell you, the failure of this mission is entirely your responsibility!" Lu Zhan said as he pulled the bald man and stepped into a submarine first. Meanwhile, the Masked Man and the mysterious figure in the straw hat remained behind. The Masked Man shrugged and said, "Hypocrite! Aren't you just afraid of being punished by Master?"
He then entered another submarine, leaving the mysterious figure behind. After glancing at the disappearing helicopter, he climbed into the last submarine. The three submarines submerged into the deep sea, vanishing from this area. Meanwhile, in Wa Country, Kazama Tadao was carrying Abe Royu as they hurriedly returned to Wa Country.
Abe Royu had long lost consciousness, and Kazama Tadao wore a worried expression. He couldn't understand why the Demon Tower Master had suddenly disappeared, along with Abe Royu's severed right arm. How would he explain this when they returned?
Although Abe Royu had sealed several vengeful spirits in the flower sea on the ninth level, it was nothing compared to the Demon Tower Master or the Nine-Headed Black Phoenix. This time they had completely offended Huaxia and sacrificed so many excellent Onmyoji; it seemed like a huge loss. Just thinking about it made Kazama Tadao's head ache.
He could only hope that whatever they obtained from the Demon Tower would appease Abe-sama's anger! With that thought, Kazama Tadao glanced at the Fur bag behind the unconscious Abe Royu. It contained all the treasures acquired from the Demon Tower, including that strange item.
At this moment, Mo Fei was piloting the helicopter while Xiao Ling sat in the co-pilot seat. In the back seat, Xiao Yefeng's figure gradually became visible in his tattered clothes!
"Wow! Feng, it's really you! Invisibility? That's interesting; even this thermal imaging device didn't detect you!" Mo Fei teased nonchalantly as he flew the helicopter.
Xiao Ling, however, looked at Xiao Yefeng in shock. After all, very few people could evade thermal detection! Especially in such a cramped space as a helicopter; she hadn't sensed anything before Xiao Yefeng appeared.
