Practitioners at the Martial Emperor level can travel in the endless universe. If they do not take the initiative to go to some dangerous star fields and just travel normally, they will be very safe unless they are fighting for treasures.
Yang Qi himself was quite strong, and he seldom encountered any major dangers while traveling in the endless universe. After a while, he was inevitably lax, especially when facing practitioners who were not as strong as himself. Now, the Black Wind Demon had taught him a lesson. Although strength was the foundation of a practitioner, he had to remain vigilant enough when facing anyone, so as not to capsize in the gutter.
Yang Qi's eyes fell on the location where the Black Wind Demon exploded, and he muttered to himself, "Although the Black Wind Demon is a member of the Immortal Temple, it seems that he is only a peripheral member."
The reason for this judgment is mainly because the Black Wind Demon has basically never used any means related to the Immortal Temple, and his own aura is different from the practitioners of the Immortal Temple. Although this does not completely prove that the Black Wind Demon is not a formal member of the Immortal Temple, the Black Wind Demon has also established a force of his own, and there are many practitioners under his command, including those at the Martial Emperor level. If he is a core member, it is not so easy to conceal it.
Through this information, Yang Qi deduced that the Black Wind Demon was only a peripheral member of the Immortal Temple, not an official member. However, in order to confirm this, some verification is needed!
Whoosh~
Yang Qi's figure flashed and came in front of the two surviving two-star Martial Emperors. The two two-star Martial Emperors had lost consciousness under the suppression of the virtual world.
Buzz~
Yang Qi moved his hand, and a soul force surged into the body of the two-star early Martial Emperor practitioner, exploring his soul.
After a moment, Yang Qi opened his eyes slightly and said slowly, "There is no restriction, and there is no information about the Immortal Temple in my memory!"
If the Black Wind Demon is really an official member of the Immortal Temple, then the practitioners under his command are also very suspicious. Even if they are not practitioners of the Immortal Temple, they will probably be restricted to prevent the news from leaking. Now there is no discovery, which also proves from the side that the Black Wind Demon is not an official member of the Immortal Temple.
Yang Qi moved his hands and immediately began to investigate the soul of another cultivator. There were no restrictions in the other party's soul either, nor were there any memories related to the Immortal Temple.
“According to their memories, they were only responsible for slaughtering living beings, using special gems to collect blood evil spirits, and then handing them over to the Black Wind Demon. The Black Wind Demon would leave his lair every once in a while and disappear without a trace.” Yang Qi quickly recalled the memories he had found, then frowned and said in a deep voice, “The time when the Black Wind Demon disappeared should be when he handed over the collected things to the strong men behind the Immortal Temple.”
“According to their memories, the Black Wind Demon never leaves for long each time. The Immortal Temple experts hiding in the dark shouldn’t be too far away.” Yang Qi’s expression condensed, and his eyes looked towards the depths of the Chaotic Dark Star Sea. Then he slowly said, “If nothing unexpected happens, the experts from the Immortal Temple should be in the Chaotic Dark Star Sea!”
The Dark Sea of Chaos itself is extremely chaotic, and with its vast territory, hiding in the Dark Sea of Chaos is undoubtedly easier to hide one's identity. If it were Yang Qi himself, he would also choose to hide in the Dark Sea of Chaos.
"The environment of the dark star sea is really complicated." Yang Qi said with emotion.
There were already three major forces in the Chaotic Dark Star Sea, and now there was the Immortal Temple hidden in the dark, so the environment of the Chaotic Dark Star Sea undoubtedly became more complicated. Especially the Immortal Temple, the three major forces were at least in the open, and it was easy to understand, but the Immortal Temple in the dark was not so easy to understand.
Being able to recruit three-star Martial Emperors like Black Wind Old Demon as peripheral members, the Immortal Temple must have quite a few practitioners hidden in the Dark Star Sea, and their strength is not weak. They are at least at the mid-level Martial Emperor level, or even at the high-level Martial Emperor level.
Ever since he was hunted down by a high-ranking martial emperor from the Immortal Temple in the Ancient Thunder Region, Yang Qi has been very careful. In the endless universe, in addition to hiding his identity, he will no longer actively look for practitioners from the Immortal Temple. After such a long time, he has never had any conflicts with the Immortal Temple. Unexpectedly, he encountered someone from the Immortal Temple just after entering the Dark Star Sea.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi showed a helpless look on his face, and sighed softly, "Perhaps this is the case of enemies meeting on a narrow road."
His conflicts with the Immortal Temple were not the first or second. The practitioners of the Immortal Temple wanted to kill him, and he also wanted to seek revenge on the practitioners of the Immortal Temple.
Yang Qi's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself, "But I can't afford to provoke the Immortal Temple right now, so I'd better leave first."
The practitioners of the Immortal Temple may have noticed the death of the Black Wind Demon. According to Yang Qi's original plan, he was going to kill the Black Wind Demon and then wipe out all of his clan in one go. However, he does not plan to do so now.
Because he didn't know whether there were any practitioners from the Immortal Temple in the lair of the Black Wind Demon's lineage. If he rashly went there to kill them, he would most likely be noticed by the practitioners of the Immortal Temple. Even if his identity as Yang Qi was not exposed, the Immortal Temple in the dark would probably not let him go easily just because he had killed the Black Wind Demon.
Thinking of this, Yang Qi moved the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand, and was about to kill the two two-star Martial Emperors in front of him.
Whoosh~
At this moment, a dark grey light flashed out from Yang Qi's body. It was the dark beetle.
"You want to devour them?" Feeling the thoughts conveyed by the dark beetle, Yang Qi was stunned. He hesitated slightly and finally nodded.
Dark beetles devour cultivators, but they devour their essence, blood, and souls together. If it was an ordinary cultivator, Yang Qi would not let the dark beetles devour him alive. However, thinking that the cultivators of the Black Wind Demon lineage had committed many evil deeds and were demons themselves, he naturally did not have so many scruples.
Poof!
The dark beetle flashed and drilled directly into the body of a practitioner. In an instant, the practitioner's body shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a moment, only the skin and bones were left, which turned into powder and dissipated, revealing the dark beetle's body.
The dark beetle flashed and went straight back into Yang Qi's body, devouring the two-star late-stage Martial Emperor practitioner. He was already a little full, so how could he have the ability to devour the remaining two-star early-stage Martial Emperor practitioner.
“You’re quite good at picking!” Yang Qi shook his head and smiled, then swung the Black Phoenix Sword in his hand. The sharp sword light fell on the body of the two-star Martial Emperor early stage practitioner, quickly destroying his vitality.
After killing the two-star Martial Emperor cultivator in the early stage, Yang Qi collected the remaining treasures and flew towards the depths of the void. After leaving the battlefield, he shuttled through space and left. (To be continued)
