The Deputy Governor let out a long sigh and closed his eyes.
The 33 large swords in the surroundings dimmed and were drowned by the endless underworld river. His figure was also drowned and swept into the depths.
In the depths of the underworld river, there was a huge mouth that drooled endlessly as the Deputy Governor got closer and closer.
The Deputy Governor's body was about to be devoured.
At that moment, a bolt of purple lightning suddenly streaked across the sky. It was earth-shatteringly powerful and pierced through more than half of the sky in the Ancient Spirit World.
The sky seemed to be about to be torn into two.
Xu Qing suddenly lifted his head and the Deputy Governor's body trembled.
All the giant eyes above the palaces in the Ancient Spirit World instantly opened in unison and looked at the sky.
More mouths appeared in all directions, and more underworld rivers swept across the world.
The entire Ancient Spirit World was shaken.
The evil souls, corpses, and banners that were dozens of times more numerous than before all appeared at this instant. Giant figures that were a thousand feet, ten thousand feet, or even ten thousand feet crawled out of the depths of the ground with a terrifying aura and roared at the sky.
At this moment, the Ancient Spirit World seemed to have come alive.
The ground churned as though an even larger creature was moving. It used its actions and gaze to warn the lightning in the sky.
This is my food. No one can take it away!
The sky and ground were in a standoff.
A cold glint appeared in Xu Qing's eyes as he stared at the sky. Killing intent rose in his eyes and the god's finger in his body trembled violently.
It was really afraid.
It had thought that after about fifteen minutes, It would be able to plunder this body. Hence, after It realized that the Deputy Governor's fragmented-face wasn't easy to deal with, It didn't use its full strength. It planned to conserve its strength and wait for Xu Qing to die before parasitizing and escaping.
However, It didn't expect Xu Qing to bring It here.
At the moment of arrival, the eye of the Ancient Spirit Emperor didn't only shock the Deputy Governor but also It.
The hungry gaze of the Ancient Spirit Emperor and the sound of Him gulping caused the god's finger to shiver in fear. When It thought of the tragic death of Its main body, It started panicking.
And now, there was another such powerful aura.
"This kid… If I can survive today and not be devoured, I'll definitely stake it all to possess him the instant I get out. I definitely can't let him continue running around!!"
As the finger trembled, the Deputy Governor's expression was filled with excitement. After that, he felt ashamed and knelt down, calling out to his lord.
The purple lightning in the sky became brighter. After a long time, a familiar voice echoed in this world.
"Senior, I want his time."
"Not giving!" The divine sense of the Ancient Spirit Emperor rumbled with domineeringness.
"I've already obtained it." The purple lightning flickered in the sky.
All of the Ancient Spirit Emperor's eyes turned cold.
"Then get lost!"
Purple lightning instantly gathered and finally transformed into a face that was similar to the god's fragmented-face in the sky. It stared at the ground and Xu Qing.
Xu Qing fell silent. He was extremely familiar with that face.
"Brother, you've really grown up."
As soon as these words were spoken, all the eyes of the Ancient Spirit Emperor fluctuated. As for the god's finger in Xu Qing's body, it was trembling to the extreme and didn't even dare to wail.
'I don't want my body anymore! I want to get away from him!'
The god's finger trembled.
Xu Qing was expressionless. His gaze was calm and he didn't speak.
The face in the sky didn't continue speaking. Its deep gaze stared at Xu Qing for a few breaths before it finally dissipated into the sky.
As for the Deputy Governor in the underworld river, he kowtowed respectfully.
"Crown Prince, Xiaozhuo can't follow you anymore. I hope you… stay safe."
After Bai Xiaozhuo finished speaking, he lifted his head and looked at the sky. There was reluctance and reminiscence in his eyes.
After that, he stood up. Without needing the underworld river to stir, he walked toward the mouth of the world. It was as though he was sacrificing himself, and his expression was completely calm.
The moment he got close, he didn't turn his head but a voice rang out.
"Xu Qing, Fenghai County is yours. Treat it well."
With that, Bai Xiaozhuo took a step forward and was drowned in the mouth.
As the sound of chewing rang out, the body and soul of the Purple Green Kingdom's Fenghai County Governor were destroyed.
He was devoured by the Ancient Spirit Emperor.
His life was difficult to describe; different perspectives saw it differently, from loyalty to wickedness, from honesty to cunning, making it hard to summarize in one word.
Very soon, a sigh of satisfaction echoed through the Ancient Spirit World.
Perhaps it was because the taste was too good, or perhaps it had been too long since He had eaten such food, all the huge eyes of the Ancient Spirit Emperor in this world narrowed comfortably.
Very soon, they all looked at Xu Qing.
"Is the one in your body the second sum of interest you prepared for me?"
