Zeng Laosan's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He never thought that his two companions would be hacked to pieces in just a few breaths.

Scared?
Zeng Lao San was a coward to begin with. He had only managed to survive the tribulation with great luck. Now, he was no match for the two companions who had just died in terms of killing methods. What should he do now? A hairless monkey that appeared out of nowhere was like a killing god!
Are you going to die?
Seeing the wriggling flesh on the half-blown head of the opponent, as well as the rapidly healing wounds and bones, Zeng Laosan couldn't help but think of two words: Monster!

"To die, or to live?"

These words were like the sound of nature, and the last bit of ruthlessness in Zeng Laosan's heart immediately dissipated. Zeng Laosan actually had the courage to fight to the death, but fighting to the death would result in death anyway, so how could it compare to a glimmer of hope?
Dignity? Face? Pah! As long as I'm alive, I don't care about these empty things.

thump!
Zeng Lao San knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Goddess, spare my life! I want to live! I want to live!"

This made Yang Qian stunned, and then he smiled and said, "If you want to live, then speak properly. First, tell me your name and your background."

Yang Qian shook his head. Although he was surprised that the other party knelt down and begged for mercy so cleanly, it was consistent with his understanding of demon cultivators. He just didn't expect that even though he was a demon immortal, he would still behave like this.

"I have lived three lives. My true form is a mink. I am a root of the Huang Yuan Realm. Now I am a disciple of the Huang Yuan Great Immortal. I am honored to be a patrolling immortal. Today I came to the ruins of Taijing City to try my luck and see if I can find any treasures."

Zeng San Li?
Yang Qian smiled and continued to ask: "Is Huang Yuanjie a lower world?"

"Yes, it is a lower world dominated by demon cultivators. It is now one of the forces under the command of Immortal Huang Yuan."

"What is the level of Huang Yuan Daxian? And where is he?"

"In reply to the Immortal, it is said that Immortal Huang Yuan has reached the level of an Immortal Lord and currently controls the area surrounding Feixing City."

Flying Star City?
Yang Qian hurriedly searched for the name in his mind, but there was no sign of this Void City on the star map of the Southern Sky Realm in his hand, not even the lower-level world called Huang Yuan Realm.

"Which domain is it?"

"Ah? Oh! It's the Northern Sky Realm."

"The Northern Sky Realm? So far away? Who is in charge of the Southern Sky Realm now?"

"This Southern Sky Realm is deserted and currently has no owner. I heard that the two Immortal Lords from the East and West are fighting for this place, but neither has won yet. We only dared to come here to plunder because this place is deserted."

Zeng Sanming's words did not sound like they were made up. Not only did he answer quickly, but his sentences were also very clear. Even from Zeng Sanming's expression, it was clear that what he said was not a secret.

An absurd thought suddenly popped up in Yang Qian's mind: Is Tiangang the opposite?
So after a moment of silence, he asked again: "Why aren't you afraid of the erosion of poisonous spiritual energy?"

"Hehe, what Xiao Yao and the others are practicing is the secret method given by Immortal Huang Yuan, which can filter out the poison in the spiritual energy. As long as we don't go to the core area where the poison is particularly concentrated, we can use the secret method to filter the immortal spirit energy in our body regularly to filter out the harm."

".Where are the people from the Heavenly Palace? Where did they go?"

"Heavenly Palace?" Zeng Sanming was very puzzled. In his mind, the hairless monkey in front of him should be a fairy who escaped from the Heavenly Palace, or an unlucky official who came out to investigate.

I didn't expect the other party to say "Where are the people in the Heavenly Palace?" What does this mean? Is he asking knowingly? Or is he setting a trap?

But with the knife at his neck, Zeng Sanming had no right to bargain. Even though Yang Qian's questions seemed very strange and incomprehensible to him, he had no choice but to answer honestly.

"Sir, the Heavenly Palace was shattered five thousand years ago. The four regions of the southeast, northwest and northeast were independent and even fought each other. It is said that many people died! Moreover, many lower worlds were hidden when the fighting was the most brutal, and they are still being dug out and reopened one by one.
As for the Heavenly Palace, no one has seen it now. I heard that in order to avoid the "Five Decaying Diseases", the Heavenly Palace opened the Void Immortal Realm and now hides inside. The entire upper world is now in shambles, full of dangerous traps, and anyone who enters will be in danger of death."

"Not a single one from the Heavenly Palace? Why shouldn't I believe this?" Yang Qian's face turned cold and he moved the knife in his hand closer to the flesh.

Zeng Sanming was so frightened that he trembled all over and dared not move. He hurriedly said, "Please spare my life, Immortal! I dare not make up such stories. Every word is true!"

Yang Qian made a careful analysis, but did not really kill him. Instead, he stopped the knife and continued to ask, "What is the Void Immortal Realm?"

"Ah, this Immortal, I am just an insignificant ant. I only know the name, how can I tell exactly where it is? I just heard that it is the most magical place in the world, and it requires a powerful Immortal Emperor to open it. I really don't know anything else."

Yang Qian shook his head. The doubts in his heart did not decrease because of Zeng Sanming's questions and answers. On the contrary, they increased.

"According to what you said, now that the Heavenly Palace is gone, it has become the world of Xiao Xiu? What about the Xu Ling Clan? Why don't they take the opportunity to attack us?"

Zeng Sanming couldn't understand what the killer god was up to. He didn't even know the basic situation of the middle domain, but he knew about the Void Spirit Clan. It was very strange.

Could it be that the old immortal was made stupid by his seclusion?

While pondering in his heart, Zeng Sanming replied: "My Lord, the Xu Ling clan is almost extinct, how can they come to disturb us?"

"Oh? Wipe out the whole family? How do you do that?"

"I heard about it too. The Void Spirits suffered more serious damage in the Heavenly Fate Tribulation than the mighty ones in the Heavenly Palace. Both the poisonous spiritual energy and the Five Deterioration Diseases were much more ferocious.

Long before the Heavenly Palace was still killing each other, the Void Spirit Clan had already collapsed internally, with some dying and some scattered. Now even the boundaries of the domains have become meaningless, and people can come and go freely without anyone caring.

It's just that the poisonous spiritual energy of the Void Spirit Clan is more corrosive, so we rarely go there unless it's necessary. Even if there are people like Xiao Yao, they just risk their lives to survive."

Is that so?
Yang Qian suddenly felt a chill starting from his feet. The Five Deterioration Diseases sounded more severe than he had imagined.

Looking at Zeng Sanming's mink again, Yang Qian asked curiously, "You have a secret method to filter out the poisonous spiritual energy, is there a secret method that allows you to overcome the five diseases of decline?"

"Hehe, Immortal, you are joking. How can a mere demon have any secret methods? The poisonous spiritual energy is from Immortal Huang Yuan. There is no way to talk about the Five Degenerations. There is no secret method, it's just that the disease doesn't come to us demons. From the Immortal Lord to the lowly like me, no one has ever suffered from the Five Degenerations.

Hehe, I guess God saw how miserable we were, so he took pity on us and didn’t kill us.” (End of this chapter)
