"Have you really thought it through?" The voice of the Heaven and Earth Puppet was flat, and the words he spoke sounded like lines that had been prepared long ago. "I know you have the ability to pass the second trial, but every time a trial begins, there are too many opportunities for mistakes. If you miss this time, you may not be able to trigger the second trial even after hundreds or thousands of years."
"As a candidate for the Divine Emperor, you will become a thorn in the eyes of other Divine Lords. Perhaps before you even trigger the second trial, you will already be dead."
Ji Mingyu looked cold, his eyes were filled with indescribable determination, "I don't want to repeat it for the third time. Send me out of the Yuankong Ancient Realm, otherwise I don't mind tearing the barrier here apart directly."
"Haha, okay, since this is your choice, I will naturally send you away." The Puppet of Heaven and Earth said calmly.
He stretched out his hand and gently drew complex symbol arrays in the air.
As the lights of the talisman array lit up one after another, the complex patterns intertwined together, completely lighting up the dim trial space.
Under Ji Mingyu's feet, a hexagram teleportation array was formed.
As the energy of the teleportation array gathered, Ji Mingyu's figure began to fade slowly.
When he thought about seeing Xi Yue soon, Ji Mingyu couldn't help but get excited and was eager to go home.
Therefore, he did not notice the red energy lines spreading out from under the teleportation array, penetrating into Ji Mingyu's body, and disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The light of the teleportation array slowly engulfed Ji Mingyu. He felt inexplicably sleepy. In a trance, he heard the sighs of the Puppet of Heaven and Earth, which seemed to be of pity and sighing.
"You will regret it. Without sufficient strength, you are not even qualified to protect and possess her."
"Yes, you—are not qualified!"

Qinglong and others had just returned to the Ziwei Mountain Temple when they heard people below report that the subordinates of the Southern King Huoli wanted to see them.
The few of them didn't have time to ask what had happened recently, and hurriedly asked someone to bring Huo Li's subordinates in.
"Lord Qinglong, please save our prince!" The subordinate rushed to Qinglong and the others as soon as he came in, crying in panic, "Our prince has been trapped in the Southern King's Palace for more than a month, and he is also injured. I don't know how he is now!"
"What did you say?!" Qinglong was horrified. "Tell me what happened while we're walking!"
When Qinglong and the others heard from the Southern King's subordinates that the person who attacked the Southern King Huoli was the demon clan's lich guardian Chang Ling, solemn looks appeared on their faces.
Taotie, Taowu, White Tiger and Black Tortoise stayed in the Ziwei Mountain Temple, while the other three followed Qinglong to the Southern King's Palace.
There was indeed a barrier outside the Southern King's palace, and the barrier contained a powerful demonic aura.
However, for Qinglong and others, this barrier was certainly not a problem, so it was quickly broken.
The injury of the Southern King Huoli was not actually serious and he has recovered long ago, but he was trapped in the barrier and couldn't get out. Thinking of the conspiracy of the Eastern King Shaoyang and Xi Yue's situation, he was almost going crazy.
Seeing Qinglong and the others coming, he hurriedly went to greet them and asked anxiously, "You guys are finally back? Is Xiyue okay? Did that bastard Dong Wang succeed?"
"What?! Something happened to Miss Xiyue?!" The expressions of the eight people changed drastically, "What on earth happened?"
The Southern King Huo Li recounted everything that happened before he was imprisoned. (To be continued)
