Chapter 896: Great Dao Oath, Descent of the Immortal Emperor

Beyond the shock, the expression on Qi Yuan's face became uncertain, and he secretly weighed whether to kill this brat in front of him right now.

However, he quickly dismissed this thought. After finally managing to temporarily Seal the Devilish Qi within the other party, heaven knows what terrible things might be triggered if he acted now.

After all, as one of the most powerful existences among the three thousand Chaos Heavenly Demons, Luo Hou possessed the immortal characteristic shared by all Chaos Heavenly Demons.

In other words, until this Great Desolation Tribulation ended, Luo Hou would remain in a state where he could not be killed.

Even if he risked the backlash of Humanity Imperial Qi to execute Xuanyuan Hao on the spot, it wouldn't be long before the other party resurrected, becoming even more terrifying than before.

Rather than facing unpredictable consequences, it was better to maintain the status quo for now; at least until the purity and desirelessness pill lost its effect, the other party would not pose a threat to him.

As for the future, he could only take it one step at a time and wait until he returned to later generations.

Thinking of this, Qi Yuan took a deep breath, suppressed the wariness in his heart, and quietly explained the matter of the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus to the other party…

Not long after, in the Spirit Treasure Space.

"Boss Luo Hou, was I really the World-Purifying White Lotus in the past?"

Having received confirmation from Xuanyuan Hao, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus couldn't help but exclaim, its thirty-two lotus petals trembling incessantly, clearly in a state of agitation.

If it had been somewhat skeptical of someone's deception before, now with the personal confirmation from the Chaos Heavenly Demon leader "Luo Hou," it completely believed that it was the World-Purifying White Lotus.

"Hmm, the sea of suffering is boundless; turn back and the shore is near."

Xuanyuan Hao nodded calmly, persuading with a peaceful expression:

"The disturbances of the secular world have nothing to do with me, but I must give you one piece of advice: slaughter and destruction are not good. You must work hard for the Heaven and Earth Society and strive to be a lotus of virtue."

"Uh…"

Seeing that the once ferociously violent "Boss Luo Hou" actually wanted to guide it toward goodness, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus fell into a state of utter bewilderment, and even the dark Devilish Qi surrounding it dimmed a little.

After a long silence, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus trembled, slowly floated in front of Qi Yuan, and said with deep emotion:

"So that's how it is! Many thanks, Chief Helmsman, for your guidance. Otherwise, I would have been deceived by those evil demons, led astray, and committed countless sinful deeds."

As it spoke, it shook its lotus body and guaranteed resolutely:

"From now on, I will surely follow the lead of the Heaven and Earth Society and will never let those damned Chaos Heavenly Demons succeed!"

From this moment on, it completely considered itself the World-Purifying White Lotus, while viewing its former partners—with whom it had once agreed to destroy the world—as its greatest mortal enemies, the kind that could not coexist.

Watching the loyalty value of the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus rise at a visible speed, even reaching 90 points, Qi Yuan was already overjoyed in his heart, but on the surface, he praised it solemnly:

"As expected of the World-Purifying White Lotus, your spirituality remains intact, you understand righteousness, and you emerge from the mud unstained. This is truly a blessing for all living beings in the world."

The World-Extinguishing Black Lotus retracted its thirty-two petals and spoke solemnly:

"I, a loyal servant of the Heaven and Earth Society Grand Helmsman, swear by the Great Dao that from now on, I will pledge my life to the Heaven and Earth Society, go through fire and water, and never betray you!"

As this oath was issued, it seemed to trigger some kind of resonance in the unseen.

At the same time, a pure white halo appeared on the originally pitch-black body of the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus, giving it a sense of holiness and solemnity.

Although the phenomenon flashed and disappeared, and the lotus petals returned to black, perhaps due to a psychological effect, the black lotus seemed less black than before.

If the Chaos Black Lotus had previously looked like a dark and deep black hole, now it was at best comparable to a lump of black coal…

On the other side, hearing this bizarre name that broke through the heavens, even the purity and desirelessness-filled Xuanyuan Hao couldn't help but look sideways, a trace of astonishment appearing on his face.

As the instigator of all this, Qi Yuan suppressed the urge to laugh out loud, coughed lightly, and nodded with a gratified expression:

"Good! With those words from you, this Chief Helmsman can rest easy!"

At this moment, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus seemed to have found its purpose in life, and its mood became extremely excited:

"Chief Helmsman, whatever you want me to do, please give the order!"

Qi Yuan smiled slightly and soothed it with feigned seriousness, "Little Black, you should rest and recuperate here for now. When the time comes, this Chief Helmsman will have an important mission to entrust to you."

Now, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus had been completely swindled by him; it had even sworn an oath to the Great Dao, becoming one of the most loyal members of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Even if Luo Hou recovered his Devilish nature in the future and denied today's words, due to the first impression, the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus would not believe a single bit of it and would only think it was a trick by the Chaos Heavenly Demons.

With the protection of the World-Extinguishing Black Lotus, the safety of Wu Miaozhen would be greatly increased; at least she wouldn't easily fall in the upcoming Great Tribulation, and he could safely return to later generations…

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel great, and he took Xuanyuan Hao out of the Spirit Treasure Space.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a flash of white light, Qi Yuan and Xuanyuan Hao appeared in the outside world.

Immediately after, before he could react, the scene before his eyes changed abruptly. What came into view was a familiar vast mist, and at the same time, a rich Spiritual Qi rushed towards him.

This is… the myriad manifestations exquisite pagoda?!

Unsure of what he thought of, Qi Yuan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked around with a face full of suspicion and uncertainty.

In an instant, he saw a familiar figure dressed in cloth clothes walking towards him unhurriedly; it was none other than Duanmu Xi, whom he had sent to wait outside the courtyard.

At this moment, the corner of this Great Desolation youth's mouth hung with a faint smile, and his whole body was surrounded by a profound aura of the Great Dao, looking completely different from usual.

Just as Qi Yuan was stunned, "Duanmu Xi" had already arrived close by and said indifferently:

"You have come."

His voice was flawless, containing a certain peculiar Dao resonance, as if the three thousand great daos and the ages of time were all contained within it.

Seeing this, a terrifying thought unconsciously emerged in Qi Yuan's heart. His pupils suddenly shrank, and without hesitation, he stepped forward and bowed:

"Junior Qi Yuan greets Your Majesty the Immortal Emperor!"

To be able to collect him into the myriad manifestations exquisite pagoda right under Xia Hanjun's nose, and even possess Duanmu Xi's body—besides that legendary Supreme of the Immortal Realm, no other existence could possibly do it.

And as the owner of the mingxiao mirror, spacetime compass, and myriad manifestations exquisite pagoda, the Immortal Emperor could see his origins at a glance. Attempting to fool the other party with a fake identity at such a time was purely a suicidal act!

At this moment, sweat broke out on Qi Yuan's forehead, and his heart was pounding wildly, constantly guessing the other party's intentions.

He never expected that, having only arrived in the Great Desolation for half a month, he would actually attract the personal descent of the Immortal Emperor…
