In a deserted area of the Soul Burying Abyss, a flash of white light streaked through the void, and the silhouettes of Ni Mu and the two others appeared there, surrounded by the bright light.

"What happened? Why did we suddenly come out?" Wu Yuezhi looked around and frowned.

"Someone is controlling the Forbidden of the Shura Palace, moving us outside. The Six-winged Butterfly King just sensed the fluctuation of the Space Restriction. It was a very powerful space restriction," the glamorous woman said as she raised her arm, the bright butterfly tattoo on it squirming slightly.

"It's Xi Ying," Ni Mu said slowly.

"Xi Ying! So, does that mean the Six Desires Venerable's main soul has also been extinguished?" the glamorous woman exclaimed in shock.

"All of Six Desires Venerable's soul leeches have also been killed. Xi Ying has instructed us to quickly execute the residual souls outside," Ni Mu said, taking out a flickering Sound Transmission Talisman.

"She killed the main soul of the Six Desires Venerable so quickly? How is that possible!" The glamorous woman's eyes widened in disbelief.

To deal with the Six Desires Venerable, they had prepared for many years and were very aware of the terrifying Divine Skills of the Six Desires Venerable, especially those soul leeches, whose ability to hide and escape was astonishing. Even the Shura Master had missed one in the past.

The reason they chose to strike at the Six Desires Venerable within the Shura Palace was because it was a completely enclosed environment, where the Six Desires Venerable's soul leeches couldn't escape.

To ensure that not a single soul leech was missed, the Dawn Alliance prepared a massive sensing array, planning to search the entire Shura Palace bit by bit.

But before anything could start, Xi Ying had already declared that she had killed all the soul leeches of the Six Desires Venerable, how could the glamorous woman believe this.

"Xi Ying always plans thoroughly before acting. Perhaps she had already prepared a way to deal with the soul leeches," Ni Mu said thoughtfully.

"Big brother, you really think highly of Xi Ying," the glamorous woman said with a light snort.

Ni Mu smiled slightly, offering no explanation.

He also found it unbelievable, but the message from Xi Ying was very clear, and based on his understanding of her, she wasn't someone to boast without basis.

Moreover, since a while ago, Ni Mu's intuition had been echoing within him—the main soul of the Six Desires Venerable had indeed completely fallen.

Seeing the smiling face of Ni Mu, jealousy surged in the glamorous woman's heart, a hint of murderous intent flashing deep in her eyes.

"Xi Ying is too domineering. We just helped her deal with the Six Desires Venerable, and she immediately drove us out of the Shura Palace. She must want to monopolize the treasures inside! She hasn't even given us the promised Spirit God Pills yet, does she plan to repudiate the debt?" Wu Yuezhi said gravely.

"We have already achieved our goal. There's no need to dispute over trivial benefits with Xi Ying. As for the Spirit God Pills, we have several of the Six Desires Venerable's clones in our hands; Xi Ying won't dare act rashly. The trade for these pills was already scheduled to happen half a month later," Ni Mu shook his head and said.

"Big brother is right. Xi Ying must already have control of the Shura Palace. Staying there wouldn't bring us any good," the glamorous woman agreed.

"Since you both say so, I won't say much more. But it's such a pity. Now that the Six Desires Venerable, Dugu Feng, and Old Monster Lei Ming have all fallen, only Xi Ying, the Golden Dawn Fairy of the Spirit Talisman Sect, and a few others remain in the Shura Palace. If we kill them, everything would belong to us," Wu Yuezhi lamented.

The glamorous woman, upon hearing this, felt her previously suppressed thoughts stirring once again.

Though they had been expelled from the Shura Palace, it didn't mean they had no way to return. The Dawn Alliance had influence spread across the Yunhuang Continent, including a hidden branch in the Black Wind Desert that could provide assistance at any moment.

"Don't be rash! Xi Ying has cunning Divine Skills and even more formidable intelligence, not so easy to deal with," Ni Mu frowned and chided.

"I actually think the third brother's words make sense. Now that only a few big and small cats remain in the Shura Palace, it's not impossible for us to take it down if we give it our all," the glamorous woman said.

"If Xi Ying's methods were only this simple, how could she ever have dealt with the main soul of the Six Desires Venerable?" Ni Mu said coldly, scolding her.

"Big brother, do you think Xi Ying has other trump cards up her sleeve?" the glamorous woman asked in surprise.

"Most of the Divine Skills of a Soul Cultivator lie within the Divine Soul. We struggled so much just dealing with the Six Desires Venerable's body and soul splitting, let alone his main soul's abilities. Although Xi Ying is formidable, if it was just her alone, surviving under the main soul of the Six Desires Venerable would be good enough, let alone killing him. From my repeated observations, there seems to be a Sleeping Witch level Soul Cultivator lurking beside Xi Ying, likely her final trump card," Ni Mu speculated thoughtfully.

"There's such a person! How come I never noticed?" Wu Yuezhi exclaimed in surprise.

"I haven't detected this person's traces either, but that further proves how formidable this individual is," Ni Mu added.

"If that's the case, then let's forget about it," Wu Yuezhi concluded.

A hint of resignation flickered in the glamorous woman's eyes, but she remained silent.

The three of them then transformed into three beams of tunneling light and disappeared into the distant horizon.

...

Inside the Shura Palace, Yuan Ming and Xi Ying didn't linger at the original spot but were flying towards the Black Tower.

"Yuan Ming, the matters of the Shura Palace have finally concluded. Withdraw the radiance of the Forbidden around the Cave Mansion. The commotion here is quite large. If another expert comes along, another troublesome fight is inevitable," Xi Ying mentioned.

Yuan Ming nodded in surprise, taking out the Shura Stone Tablet and channeling Mana into it.

He raised an eyebrow, finding that activating the Shura Stone Tablet was much easier than before, with various Forbiddens ready at his command, feeling as if he were directing them with his own limbs.

"Could it be because the Residual Soul of the Shura Master has completely dissipated?" Yuan Ming silently pondered, yet he didn't concern himself too deeply, locating the Forbidden outside the Shura Palace and suppressing it.

Outside the Shura Palace, the dazzling Spirit Light surrounding the entire Cave Mansion rapidly extinguished, and the Spirit Light Sky Pillar also vanished without a trace.

"What's going on?"

The cultivators around the Cave Mansion were shocked, and they discussed fervently. Some, feeling bold, even flew toward the Cave Mansion attempting to enter while the Spirit Light Sky Pillar no longer obstructed them.

However, at that moment, the enormous Shura Palace suddenly shrank and swiftly sank into the Abyss.

In just two or three breaths' time, the Shura Palace had completely vanished without a trace.

The nearby cultivators were in an uproar, and some, still not giving up, fell into the Abyss trying to find the Shura Palace, but to no avail.

The crowd clamored for a while, and many began to leave, but a few, still harboring a sliver of hope, stayed behind, continuing their search in the Abyss.

...

Meanwhile, Yuan Ming was casting with both hands toward the Shura Stone Tablet, with Mana flowing continuously into it.

The gigantic Shura Palace had now transformed into a mini Mansion about a foot in size, tunneling into the void and rapidly departing from the bottom of the Abyss.

The location of the Shura Palace had already been exposed; even sinking into the ground, it was difficult to escape the Divine Sense of a powerful cultivator. Only by moving elsewhere could he ensure safety.

What Yuan Ming hadn't anticipated was that moving the Shura Palace was excruciatingly difficult, and with his current level of Mana and Divine Sense, he found it overwhelming.

After merely persisting for half an hour, Yuan Ming felt too weary to continue.

He paused his casting and, while gasping for air, felt nearly drained, and yet the Shura Palace Mansion had barely moved a hundred li.

"I hadn't expected moving the Shura Palace to be this difficult," Yuan Ming said, exhaling deeply.

"Of course, the Shura Palace houses a vast space. Moving such a large space naturally consumes a lot of energy. Your Mana is still somewhat shallow. Once you reach the Nascent Soul Stage, controlling the Shura Palace will be much easier," Xi Ying said nonchalantly.

Yuan Ming nodded, closed his eyes for Breathing Control to restore his Mana, and then continued moving the Shura Palace.

It took him the better part of a day to move the Shura Palace a thousand li to a spot underground, where he finally stopped.

Yuan Ming and Xi Ying's figures flickered and appeared in the space beneath the Black Tower.

The blood-colored coffin lay quietly there, the Void Stone emitting dazzling silver light.

Yuan Ming pinched a spell and pointed at the blood-colored coffin; the coffin lid slowly opened.

A dense Blood Light spread out, turning the entire Stone Chamber into a blood-red world.

Yuan Ming, already aware of what was inside the coffin, was not surprised.

The body of the Shura Master had skin white yet flush with red, and aside from the lack of breathing and heartbeat, it seemed no different from a living person. The red light contained blazing Qi-Blood Power, as if a blood-colored sun was rising, rapidly increasing the temperature of the entire chamber.

Yuan Ming felt a painful stinging on his skin and hastily opened a Mana Shield, which alleviated the discomfort.

The body of the Shura Master slowly floated up from the coffin, pores all over the body emitting fine rays of star-like light, seemingly communicating with something.

"What's going on here?" Yuan Ming expressed the puzzlement in his eyes.

He had completely refined the Shura Stone Tablet and could easily sense all the restrictive arrays inside the Shura Palace. There were definitely no arrays near the blood-colored coffin, yet the body started floating up on its own?

Seeing this, Xi Ying raised her hand and shot a golden light pillar toward the Shura Master, but before it could get close, the starlight cut it into several pieces.

A dull roar erupted from within the Blood Light, and a giant elephant phantom appeared, lifting its foot to completely crush the fragmented golden light.

The extremely thick leg of the elephant did not stop, continuing its stomp toward Xi Ying, shaking the entire Stone Chamber with its majesty, causing it to tremble incessantly.

Yuan Ming, shocked, immediately activated the Shura Stone Tablet. Three thick yellow light screens blocked in front of the elephant leg's phantom.

Simultaneously, a beam of white light emerged, enveloping him and Xi Ying.

"Bang," "Bang," "Bang," three muffled explosive sounds followed, and the three yellow light screens shattered on cue, the elephant leg's phantom paused briefly and then continued stomping toward Yuan Ming and Xi Ying.

"Quick!"

Yuan Ming shouted lowly, the white light around them surged, teleporting them away at the critical moment.

The elephant leg's phantom hit empty space, stomping fiercely on the stone wall behind.

Yuan Ming and Xi Ying flashed out as distortions in the void above the Black Tower occurred.

A dull huge sound came from underground, the ground shook, and the Black Tower swayed as if an earthquake had occurred.

"Are you okay?" Yuan Ming looked downward, asking with lingering fear.

"It's nothing." Xi Ying's face was pale, yet her eyes were unusually bright as she spoke.

Although they had just avoided the strike from the elephant leg's phantom, they were still swept by the aftershocks. Xi Ying was closer to the elephant leg and sustained dark injuries that were not light.
