After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

A few minutes later, Zhou Yan's expression changed several times. Then, he gritted his teeth, opened the box in his hand, and dumped the two immortal plant fruits and three pieces of divine ore onto the ground.

In the dark environment of the abyss, these treasures, whose value was unknown but could be seen by everyone, shone brightly.

Zhou Yan shouted.

"Want my treasure? Take it if you want, I've left all my treasures here."

Zhou Yan shook his pants and clothes to show that he had nothing left.

Then he turned around and ran away.

The awakened ones around Zhou Yan glanced at him as he fled, but none of them moved.

All attention was focused on the treasure that Zhou Yan had dropped.

"Ah……"

A soft chuckle.

A sharp figure flew out from mid-air. Zhang Ye casually slashed in mid-air, and the immortal plants and divine ore that Zhou Yan had thrown down all flew towards Zhang Ye.

Holy crap!

Who are you?!

"Trying to eat all by yourself!?"

The awakened ones below erupted in anger, pulling out guns and weapons to attack Zhang Ye.

Zhang Ye dodged a few times casually, then waved his hand, and countless wind blades scattered outwards from his body. Wherever they passed, trees fell and the earth cracked, and many awakened individuals were blown about by the hurricane.

At this moment, Zhang Ye's three maids moved in the wind. These women, who had cooperated with Zhang Ye countless times before, took advantage of the fact that the other awakened ones had not yet adapted to the wind. They took their weapons and walked between the awakened ones in different positions. Blood lines appeared around the awakened ones, and the three awakened ones were killed on the spot. The rest of the awakened ones immediately ran away when they saw that things were not going well.

After a series of actions, only Zhang Ye was left. Zhang Ye controlled himself to land, then weighed the immortal plant treasure given to him by Zhou Yan in his hand, but his eyes were focused on the fleeing group of Awakened Ones.

A bunch of stupid and incompetent beasts can only swagger and show off in front of their own kind. But when they are in front of us, aren't they just a bunch of useless trash who can only tuck their tails between their legs and run away?

Perhaps this is the difference between superior beings and inferior beasts.

"Step, step..."

A gust of wind blew from behind Zhang Ye, who turned around in confusion.

Turning around, he saw a mountain, a muscular mountain that was only 2.1 meters tall, but whose strength seemed to fill the entire world.

He reached the foot of the mountain, sniffed, and turned his gaze to Zhang Ye before continuing.

"You will definitely be able to give birth to a strong child."

Zhang Ye sneered.

What do you mean by "mentally retarded"?

Chapter Fourteen: Forgiveness

Group 4⑧87④97⑨9

Zhou Yan had previously entered the cave where Chi You had gone. Inside the cave, Zhou Yan used his omniscient abilities to identify several weak points in the cave's structure. He then used the Shengwu Sword to dismantle those weak points one by one, maintaining them in a delicate state of being on the verge of collapse.

Now that Chi You has entered, Zhou Yan controlled a bolt of lightning to strike, which exploded directly on the mountainside. The weak point that Zhou Yan had dug out with the Shengwu Sword instantly lost its fragile balance, and large sections of the mountainside began to collapse.

Zhou Yan then unleashed a second shockwave.

Zhou Yan released several tremors on the roof of Chi You's palace. After that, he quickly ate something to replenish his strength, but replenishing strength also takes time. After two more tremors, Zhou Yan's strength was completely exhausted. Fortunately, the damage from the tremors was enough to make the entire mountain unable to support it, and half of the mountain collapsed and shattered.

A pile of rubble appeared in front of Zhou Yan.

Exhausted, Zhou Yan waved his hand, and the Chongming Bird carried him away.

……

Let's go back five seconds.

Just as Chi You reached the dead end designed by Zhou Yan and saw the opening in the mountain wall that Zhou Yan had slashed with his Shengwu sword, a muffled thud suddenly sounded overhead. Then, large cracks appeared in the dead end where Chi You was, and stones and stone dust fell down in a flurry, causing continuous earthquakes.

Given Chi You's instincts, he should have turned and run away at that moment, but he suppressed those instincts before they took control of his body.

The reason was simple: he suspected that Zhou Yan was also in this cave.

His own wife was also in such a dangerous environment.

I want to rescue him.

He was her husband and couldn't abandon his wife.

I'm a real man, a true man, and I will never allow my wife to die before I do!

Chi You's pride as a man dominated everything. He rushed out of the cave, intending to go elsewhere to find Zhou Yan, who might still be in danger. However, after running only a few steps, a rock weighing at least three tons came crashing down on his head, causing Chi You, who was on all fours, to stumble.

With Chi You's physical abilities being five thousand times greater than those of a normal person, this stone should have been nothing more than a drizzle. However, after this stone fell, tons and tons of stones rained down on him.

Ten tons, fifty tons, one hundred tons, five hundred tons. Chi You was still able to stand tall, but as more and more stones piled up on him, even to the point of being equivalent to a mountain pressing down on him, the newly resurrected ancestor of witches was finally crushed.

Stone dust and the deafening roar of collapsing mountains obscured everything that Chi You could perceive.

Chi You was unable to move.

……

The Chongming bird carried Zhou Yan to a clean place and then put him on the ground.

As soon as he landed on the ground, Zhou Yan took out the energy bar with trembling hands and began to eat it.

It wasn't until he ate two energy bars that Zhou Yan's physical strength recovered somewhat.

The young man let out a sigh of relief and looked in the direction of Chi You again.

I no longer feel a sense of crisis.

It seems that Chi You was crushed by tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks from that collapsed mountain, and may have even been crushed to death.

It's a bit unexpected, isn't it? The first true god you killed in your life was actually Chi You, the ancestor of witches, whose bloodline might even be stronger than the Four Divine Beasts during the era of Little Yama.

and also.

Zhou Yan took out the sheepskin map given to him by Dou Xingjun from his bosom.

"You're waiting?"

Zhou Yan's eyes were practically spitting fire.

“Zhongdou Star Lord, don’t fall into my hands again, or I’ll find twenty-eight Brother Jie to teach you how to climb Dalang.”

The pattern on the sheepskin map Zhou Yan was holding changed, and a line of text appeared on it.

"Chi You has retreated. We can return to the Greedy Palace and enter the Netherworld Palace to save Little Yama."

Zhou Yan tossed the parchment aside.

"You fucking think I'd believe you?!"

Another passage appears on the lost parchment.

"Chi You isn't dead. If he reappears without Little Yama's help... are you prepared to have a boy or a girl?"

Zhou Yan: "..."

In fact, from the moment Zhongdou Xingjun began speaking, Zhou Yan had already seen clearly that Zhongdou Xingjun had a superior mentality, the kind of superior who treats people as data, ranks them according to their importance and urgency, and can abandon the less important parts when necessary.

Therefore, Zhongdou Xingjun could easily look at the girl who was raped by the Awakened and the civilians who were killed by the Awakened and say that it was nothing to worry about. This is not an act; this is what he really thinks.

He was a true villainous fascist.

But why did I become so foolish as to suddenly believe this fascist?

Oh no, I don't believe.

Zhou Yan came with the intention of saving Xiao Yanjun, and based on his sense of danger, the entire Abyss Underworld was not actually dangerous.

The only danger is this inexplicably appearing Chi You.

With the appearance of Chi You, all of Zhou Yan's plans were thrown into chaos. At least Zhou Yan couldn't think of a way to deal with Chi You. Even if he asked Zhu Que for help, it would probably take one or two days to get here (the eighth level of the Abyss Underworld) from Zhu Que's city.

By then, Chi You will be able to turn all the powerful creatures in the eighth level of hell into watermelon bellies.

Zhou Yan definitely didn't want to be one of those people with watermelon bellies, so...

Zhou Yan gritted his teeth and picked up the parchment.

Zhou Yan didn't know how long it would take for Chi You to emerge from the collapsed mountain, but considering that it would take him at least half a day to get back now, while it would only take him ten minutes to get to the Greedy Palace.

Zhongdou Xingjun used Chiyou to tie himself to the pirate ship.

If I can't go down, I can't go down. In any case, I'll be more careful in the future. I'll never trust someone like Zhongdou Xingjun again, except for myself.

Even if Zhongdou Xingjun uses the name of righteousness to involve himself.

After tidying up the parchment, Zhou Yan, taking advantage of his newly recovered strength, ran towards the Greedy Palace, ten kilometers away, at a speed of 100 meters per second.

In just two minutes, Zhou Yan arrived at the foot of the mountain where the Greedy Palace was located. Several corpses lay at the foot of the mountain, and Zhou Yan recognized three of them. They were the three women that Zhang Ye had brought with him when he came earlier.

One of them had spoken earlier, while the other two were hiding secretly. Zhou Yan saw them but didn't say anything. Now, all three women were lying on the ground, their faces calm, with a black cut on their necks.

According to the omniscient commentary, the wound was caused by a dagger, and the person died from poisoning.

This wasn't done by Chi You. Although Chi You also used weapons, Zhou Yan didn't think Chi You would bother to snatch daggers and kill these three women; he could have just punched them one by one.

and so……

Zhou Yan walked to a muddy area, where there was an indescribable fishy smell.

Zhou Yan's expression was complicated.

It seems that Zhang Ye's feminine instincts were truly awakened by Chi You. Zhang Ye's three teammates must have witnessed the process of Chi You awakening Zhang Ye's feminine instincts. After Chi You left, these three teammates were killed.

Zhang Ye's reputation is more important than their three lives.

Zhou Yan suddenly thought of his ex-girlfriend Mi Qing. After entering the Vermilion Bird Academy, Zhou Yan also investigated Bai Yuan, who had come to kill him, and then learned that Mi Qing was studying at the First Academy where Bai Yuan worked.

Zhou Yan could figure out even with his toes that the assassination attempt on him was most likely carried out by his ex-girlfriend, Mi Qing.

However, he himself, as Bai Ze, escaped this calamity, while these three women of Zhang Ye...

Zhou Yan scanned the corpses of the three women. Yes, they all had their eyes closed and their faces were peaceful. They probably felt that their own lives were not as important as Zhang Ye's, and that dying would preserve Zhang Ye's reputation.

That's not right.

Six months later, Zhou Yan will participate in the Four Schools Competition. If nothing unexpected happens, Mi Qing will also come to the Four Schools Competition. At that time, Zhou Yan will ask Mi Qing if she regrets what she did back then.

Of course, there's no need to kill Mi Qing; death would be too easy. Zhou Yan figured that once he became stronger and revealed that he was Bai Ze, Mi Qing, who had once tried to assassinate him, would definitely be ostracized and bullied by the Awakened Ones.

Living isn't necessarily easier than dying.

Of course, that's in the future.

Zhou Yan went up to the foot of the mountain where the Chi You Palace was located, then to the mountainside, and finally to the Greedy Palace where the statue of Chi You resurrecting the Minotaur had been placed.

The statues that were originally in the Greed Hall are now all broken, and a large hole has been opened in the ground, revealing a downward staircase.

When Zhou Yan left the Greedy Palace, he only noticed that the higher Chi You's resurrection level, the more the surrounding sculptures shattered. He didn't notice that after Chi You was fully resurrected, there was actually a downward staircase in the palace.

After Zhou Yan checked himself and confirmed that he did not sense any danger, he walked down the stairs.

……

A ray of light pierced the darkness.

Chi You, trapped under tens of thousands of tons of rocks, tried to twist his body slightly, but could not move.

Of course, this is nothing.

In Chi You's attribute panel, there is an attribute that no other divine beast, immortal beast, or even the Heavenly Emperor has: ∞ physical strength.

This physical ability allows Chi You to increase his strength, speed, and agility without limit when needed in battle, making him more and more ferocious and stronger in battle, with inexhaustible energy.

So what does it matter if he's being crushed by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of tons of rocks? Chi You breathes and exhales. If Zhou Yan were to observe Chi You's attributes at this moment, he would find that Chi You's power is starting to jump up by thousands.

A minute later, Chi You dug a hole in the ground, put his body into the hole, and then followed the direction he remembered, digging a tunnel all the way.
