urple Flame Palace all those years ago.Just the thought... it makes me feel suffocated.This was also the reason why Zhan Changtian's eyes were full of relief when he was finally defeated by Fang Yu.Wh...Fang Yu didn't speak, and Su Lengyun remained silent as well.

"Brother Yu, no matter what you do in the future... please take care of your health and absolutely don't put yourself in danger again." Su Lengyun said.

"Don't worry, after this... even if I wanted to get into danger, it would be hard." Fang Yu scratched his head and said.

"...Hmm." Su Lengyun seemed to want to say something, but after taking a deep breath, she didn't speak. Instead, she lowered her head, her ears turning red.

Fang Yu looked at Su Lengyun and said, "Tomorrow morning, I'll send you back."

"Alright, then I'll head back first..." Su Lengyun gently nodded, turning to leave.

……

The next morning, Fang Yu used the Kongling Ring to bring Su Lengyun back to Huaibei Shuang Hanguang Palace.

Then, he immediately returned to Beidu.

Because he had just woken up, he received a message from Su Changge, saying he had to go to the Kui Tian Bureau.

At ten in the morning, Fang Yu brought Violet to the Sky-Gazing Bureau.

Su Changge and Murong Jian were already waiting at the entrance of the Peeking Heaven Bureau.

"Boss, why did you bring this person here" Su Changge asked.

"Do you know her" Fang Yu asked.

"I saw her a few times when I visited you before, and said hello... But she doesn't seem very polite," Su Changge whispered.

Fang Yu looked at Murong Jian and said, "This is Zi Lan. From today on, she will take your place in the Kuidian Bureau... You can go back to cultivating."

"Mr. Fang, may I continue…" Murong Jian immediately said.

"There's no need, your cultivation talent is very good. You should go for the rankings now and bring glory to your Zhanlong Pavilion." Fang Yu said.

Murong Jian, hearing Fang Yu's words, could only nod and then turned to Violet, bowing: "After this, I shall have to trouble Miss Violet."

Fang Yu walked into the Qitian Bureau. There weren't many people in the square, because today wasn't the day the rankings were updated.

Fang Yu stood quickly and glanced around roughly.

The top spot on the Heavenly Rankings remains Dragon Slayer's. As for the rest... all the names have changed.

The second place is called Jiang Hao, and the third place is Shen Dong...

All the names were unfamiliar to me.

As for the saintly list, when he saw the first place, Fang Yu glanced at Murong Jian.

The first-place winner is Yuan Sanquan, who is precisely Murong Jian's master.

The second place is Li Yuan, and the third place is Shen Tianlong.

As for the name Huixu, it is now ranked fourth.

"Your master is back at the top of the rankings, huh" Fang Yu said.

"Yes," Murong Jian replied, "Master has returned to Zhalong Pavilion. He'd always wanted to meet you, but Mr. Fang is in seclusion, so..."

"I'll go see him at Zhanlong Pavilion when I have time later." Fang Yu said.

The current number one on the saintly list, their realm is definitely above the Great Vehicle stage.

Such a person, Fang Yu would still be interested in meeting.

After checking out the rankings, Fang Yu and Su Changge walked into the inner courtyard and soon met Bai Konggu.

"What do you want" Fang Yu asked.

"Here, take a look at these fragments first." A subordinate trailed behind Bai Konggu.

A subordinate walked forward, holding in his hand a fist-sized transparent glass ball.

With a muttered incantation, the young man's hand glowed. A shimmering light curtain materialized within the glass sphere.

The screen displays a village.

In the village, there were many villagers working in the fields as usual, or sitting at their doorsteps chatting.

At that moment, a black shadow flashed across the sky above the village.

"Boom!"

A black light covered the sky, and gravel flew everywhere.

When the light and dust settled, the former village... had become a gaping chasm.

No one survived.

At this moment, the light screen's image changed.

This time it should be somewhere in the mountains, with only rolling hills and rugged peaks visible in the frame.

Another shadow appeared in the picture.

"

Boom..."

This shadow lingered in the air, its outline faintly visible. It looked much like a human.

"Boom!"

The next second, the black shadow spread its arms wide.

The screen was once again engulfed in darkness.

After several seconds, the black light dissipated.

The original mountains... have been leveled.

"My god... this place covers at least over five hundred acres, and it's just gone..." Su Changge on the side widened his eyes and said incredulously.

"There's still a lot to come after this," Bai Konggu said, his face grim. "Over the past three months, this strange and ferocious spirit has rampaged from the Jiangnan region to the southwest, from the central region to Huaibei... wherever it goes, it brings destruction."

"We originally thought its goal was to kill... but we later found out..."

"This vengeful spirit's target isn't humans, it merely seeks destruction... One moment of displeasure from it, and everything in sight will be reduced to ashes."

Fang Yu looked at this pitch-black creature, feeling like he had seen it somewhere before.

"The reason I called you here is because in a recent footage we captured, the voice of this malevolent spirit was picked up..." Bai Konggu said, looking at his subordinate beside him.

The subordinate nodded and chanted the incantation again.

The screen displays flicker again.

This time, the creature of darkness appeared on the surface of the sea.

"I'm going to kill you, Fang Yu…"

A clear, raspy voice spoke.

Su Changge was greatly surprised, rubbed his ears, and asked, "Did I hear that right…"

"You heard right, we confirmed it repeatedly, the fierce spirit's mouth said...it was indeed Fang Yu." Bai Konggu said solemnly.

"Why did he have to find the leader" Su Changge said, "The leader hasn't left the house for the past three months. Where did he meet the leader"

"I know who it is," Fang Yu said, his eyes narrowing.

Hearing this, Bai Konggu and Su Changge both looked at Fang Yu.

"It's a being that obliterates life...short for Obliterator. It was sealed away by the Phoenix Clan for many years." Fang Yu said.

These two names, Bai Konggu and Su Changge, were both completely unfamiliar to them.

"Guess I didn't kill it back then..." Fang Yu muttered to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Fang Yu, could you explain this extermination of spirits in detail" Bai Konggu asked.

"To put it simply, it's a being formed from infinite annihilation power, existing for... an untold number of years," Fang Yu said. "According to its own words, it is immortal."

"I once fought it at some ruins."

As for other information, I don't know either.

"The power of annihilation…" Bai Konggu's eyes widened in shock.

"Where is it now" Fangyu asked.

"I don't know yet... Its trajectory is very strange, it doesn't appear all the time, but once it does, destruction follows inevitably." Baikonggu replied, "In the last three months, the number of innocent lives lost to it has been extremely high..."

"The last time it went to Huaibei, a team of several Nascent Soul cultivators and over a dozen Divine Transformation cultivators from Huaibei was sent to exterminate it..."

"How did it go!" Su Changge asked.

"This group of cultivators... were instantly annihilated." Bai Konggu said solemnly, "Not a single bone remained."

Su Changge's face changed, and she didn't speak any more.

"Recently, with the unveiling of our Skywatchers' Bureau, more and more people have become aware of the existence of the Demonic Spirit," Bai Konggu said. "My intention was to unite everyone's strength and eradicate this malevolent spirit... But no faction is willing to send anyone to help, so..."

"What they're doing isn't wrong," Fang Yu said. "Anyone who goes there is going to die."

Bai Konggu's face changed slightly, and he looked at Fang Yu.

"After all, its target is me anyway," Fang Yu said. "Besides me, no one should have the chance to kill it completely."

"When it appears again, please notify me immediately."

"...Good," Bai Konggu replied.

"About the other races, is there really no movement" Fang Yu asked again.

Bái Kǒng Gǔ shook his head and said, “According to these months of observation, there has indeed been no movement.”

"That's strange," Fang Yu frowned, saying, "It doesn't make sense..."

Fang Yu's intuition told him that the alien races must still exist in some dark places.

They are not appearing now, possibly waiting for a certain moment.

As for what kind of timing that would be, it's hard to say.

……

After leaving the Violet at the Peaking Bureau, Fang Yu returned to the mansion.

On the bamboo pavilion, he took out the jade ring that Xutuo had given him before his death.

Now, he could take his time to study how to get into the Holy Institution.

Fang Yu took out the jade ring and once again tried to infuse it with true qi.

He hadn't held out much hope, but to his astonishment... the ring began to glow!

"Whoosh!"

The jade ring left the finger, hovering in mid-air, emitting a beam of light.

Wherever the beam of light reached, it condensed into a rectangular object.

The glow gradually faded.

This is a wooden door.

It's exactly like the wooden door I saved Daoko from before!

This is the Gate of the Holy Institution!

"Is it really that simple" Fang Yu looked at the wooden door, stood up, and walked forward.

Before the wooden door, Fang Yu raised his right hand and gently pushed it open.

"Creak..."

The wooden door was pushed open directly.

The light was blindingly bright.

Fang Yu was enveloped by an invisible force, swept into the room.er, his footsteps echoed loudly.Soon, he arrived at the second floor.And at this moment, the original slashing sound also came to an abrupt halt.Fang Yu stood at the top of the stairs, looking down at...
