When the 'Infinite Summoning' timed out, Luo Xiu found himself back at his original location. He slammed his fist on the ground and cursed.

Master Ping suddenly flew out from the Holy Lotus Jade Pendant. "Kid, that's enough. You should be glad you were summoned at a critical moment to save your daughter."

Luo Xiu took a deep breath to calm himself and asked, "You said before that there was a way to break this barrier. What is it?"

Master Ping replied, "Hua Muyan."

"Hua Muyan?"

"Actually, the first time I saw that Flower Demon, I had my suspicions," Master Ping said. "She must be the Construct Wood."

Hearing this, Luo Xiu's eyes widened slightly. "I remember reading in the myths… that the Construct Wood was a type of ladder the ancient emperors used to travel between the mortal realm and the heavens."

"That's more or less right," Master Ping said. "The Construct Wood is exceedingly rare, seen once in a millennium. It's a divine object nurtured by heaven and earth, capable of traversing the void between planes and even shattering the Void itself."

Luo Xiu stroked his chin, pondering. "Speaking of which, Yan'er mentioned she was brought down from the Upper Realm by Chu Yiguan. His ability to travel between the two realms was likely due to him harnessing Yan'er's power."

"That's why I thought we should let Hua Muyan give it a try," Master Ping said. "It might just work."

Without another word, Luo Xiu immediately opened the spatial entrance to the Land of Lawlessness.

「After a long while.」

Hua Muyan withdrew her hands from the barrier's surface. She looked slightly exhausted as she said to Luo Xiu, "Master, Yan'er feels it can be broken, but it will take some time."

Luo Xiu asked, "How long?"

"Yan'er cannot make a guarantee, but I will be as fast as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work."

Just then, Master Ping suddenly remembered something. "By the way, kid, didn't you capture that little old man's soul? Revive him. We might get some useful information out of him."

A look of realization appeared on Luo Xiu's face. He then said to Hua Muyan, "Give me a Flower Demon Clone."

Moments later, as the Body of the Dark Land took shape, Zhan Wushen, who had been beaten to death by Luo Xiu, appeared alive before him once more.

Upon seeing Hua Muyan, Zhan Wushen's expression turned strange.

"Demonic Flower God, I didn't expect to find you by Luo Xiu's side."

Hua Muyan smiled sweetly. "Senior, it has been a while."

Luo Xiu looked at Zhan Wushen and said coolly, "You should be well aware of your current situation."

Zhan Wushen remained silent. If he could do it all over again, he never would have come to Henghai Provincial City to capture Lin Shanshan, and he wouldn't have fallen into Luo Xiu's hands.

Luo Xiu asked, "How do I break the Forbidden Heavenly Barrier?"

At his words, Zhan Wushen frowned and began to mount some kind of mental resistance.

Luo Xiu said, "Everything about you is under my control now. Unless your Divine Sense far surpasses mine, all resistance is futile."

Zhan Wushen sighed, forced to compromise. "My apologies, I cannot break this barrier. At most, I can only use a spell to enter and leave freely." He then glanced at Hua Muyan and added, "But perhaps the Demonic Flower God can break it."

Hua Muyan was rendered speechless. So the pressure is on me after all.

「After a long time.」

Using the spell he obtained from Zhan Wushen, Luo Xiu opened a gap in the barrier wall just large enough for one person to pass through.

"Master Ping, you're in charge of interrogating this old man."

"Da Qian, you will be Yan'er's protector. Also, follow the plan when the time comes."

After giving his instructions, Luo Xiu flew through the gap in the barrier.

"BOOM!"

"BOOM!"

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"

With each thunderous impact, monstrous Shu Demons shrieked as they were sent flying.

Since all spatial techniques failed within the Forbidden Heavenly Barrier, Little Pouch couldn't absorb the Shu Demons into the tower to refine them. It could only resort to the simplest, most brutal method: ramming into them.

During its time with Luo Xiu, Little Pouch had refined many Demon Beasts and Heaven and Earth Treasures, which had enhanced its own strength. While it still couldn't kill the Shu Demons easily, protecting Lin Shanshan was no problem at all.

Yun Wanzhou held Lin Shanshan's small hand, watching the small tower crash about wildly, feeling both shocked and speechless.

She was shocked because Little Pouch was powerful enough to send even those terrifying Shu Demons flying.

And she was speechless because Little Pouch loved to curse. Every sentence it uttered was heavily laced with the word "mother."

Earlier, not long after the 'Infinite Summoning' had ended and Luo Xiu had vanished, Yun Wanzhou had made her way from another city block to reunite with Lin Shanshan. Not long after, Lin Shanshan led Yun Wanzhou back to the small supermarket from before.

Looking at the corpse on the floor, Yun Wanzhou's lovely eyes trembled. Tears streamed down her face like a bursting dam, unstoppable.

The once peerlessly elegant young lady of the Su family was now just a mutilated corpse. The body was as cold as ice.

"Auntie Liyu..."

Lin Shanshan knelt beside Su Hongli's body, her head bowed as she sobbed heartbrokenly.

Beside her, Yun Wanzhou wiped her tears and helped Lin Shanshan to her feet. She couldn't bear to imagine what kind of impact witnessing such a cruel, hellish scene would have on a four-year-old girl's future.

"Shanshan, we have to go."

"Okay."

Lin Shanshan stopped crying and nodded obediently. She knew perfectly well there was nothing she could do in this situation. Despite her grief, what had happened could not be changed.

"Auntie Liyu, after you become a star, you have to watch over Shanshan from the sky... Shanshan will defeat all the monsters and bad guys."

"Why don't you become a little star yourself and go join your auntie?"

Just then, a man's mocking voice came from the supermarket entrance.

Yun Wanzhou tensed. She whipped around, pulling Lin Shanshan behind her.

At some point, a large crowd had gathered at the supermarket's entrance—at least ten people!

They were a group of Special Ability Warriors cultivated by the Holy Boi Religion!

"I can't believe a woman and a little girl took down so many of our Shu Demons," the leader, a middle-aged man, said, his eyes filled with undisguised lechery as he scrutinized Yun Wanzhou's curvaceous figure.

Yun Wanzhou glared back at him, her expression full of disgust.

The middle-aged man suddenly laughed. "This chick's not bad. She could be a bit of fun for the boys."

At that moment, Yun Wanzhou's heart filled with despair. Facing such a large group of Special Ability Warriors, she knew she didn't even have a chance to escape. And besides, she couldn't run.

"BOOM!"

However, just as despair consumed Yun Wanzhou, a figure suddenly flew into the ruined supermarket, landing forcefully in front of her and Lin Shanshan.

Yun Wanzhou looked at the somewhat blurry back, her eyes gradually moistening.

"Mister Luo... is that you?"

Luo Xiu glanced back at Yun Wanzhou with a faint smile, then turned his gaze to the Special Ability Warriors. "I just wonder," he said indifferently, "if you lab rats can provide me with some fun as well."
