As the warship shot straight into the sky, Baili Tunji and the other Fallen Cloud Sect disciples, who were still below, were about to leave when they were blocked by a barrier.
This barrier was immediately set up by Black Dog after the Heavenly Severance Manor people left, precisely to prevent these Fallen Cloud Sect members from escaping.
After being knocked back by that invisible barrier, Baili Tunji knew that it would not be so easy to leave today.
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, and he instantly moved to Yu Zhendong, who was being held by Fallen Cloud Sect disciples.
"Sect Master Yu, if you don't let us go, then your Ancestor will have to be buried with us."
When these words came out, the Azure Spirit Sect disciples were furious.
"Baili Tunji, I didn't expect you to be such a despicable and shameless person. You tried to kill a bandit but ended up losing your wealth." Yu Xuzi said.
"Enough nonsense, let's see how you choose."
At this moment, Yu Mingkong stepped forward.
"We don't need to choose. Since you treat our Ancestor this way, you are doomed to die."
"Girl, do you know that the bodies of your sect's two old men are still lying in your sect's square? Go back and take a look, man? Even if my Fallen Cloud Sect perishes today, I will take your Ancestor with me."
"Ahahahaha. Ahhh."
Before Baili Tunji could finish speaking, a piercing shriek came from his mouth.
"Ah. Old dog, you ambushed me. You've got no shame."
Under everyone's gaze, a black shadow directly shot out from within Baili Tunji's body.
The black shadow had two horns on its head, and two eyes like small lanterns glowed red.
Black Dog's divine sense transmitted towards the black shadow.
"Hehehe, I didn't expect that in this tiny barren land, there would be a Demon Race member lurking inside a human body. Tell me, which tribe are you from?"
Hearing this, the black shadow was stunned.
"You actually know my Demon Race? My tribe has been gone for nearly tens of thousands of years. I didn't expect anyone to remember. Who exactly are you?"
Black Dog was too lazy to bother anymore. If it didn't answer his question, then he would just destroy it.
Instantly, a surge of power erupted from Black Dog's divine soul and rushed directly into the black shadow.
"What, ahhh. This is just my clone. You'll regret killing me. No-no you're already a Transcendent." Before it could finish speaking, it dissipated directly.
While Baili Tunji was in a daze, Yu Mingkong had already swiftly approached Yu Zhendong and rescued him.
By the time Baili Tunji reacted, it was already too late. The mysterious person inside him had disappeared. That was his biggest secret, and his greatest reliance.
Thus, without any suspense, after Black Dog severely injured Baili Tunji, the Azure Spirit Sect members swarmed forward and annihilated all of them. Yu Xuzi personally dealt with Baili Tunji.
After seeing them safe, Black Dog knew this was the last time he would help them. There would be no next time. Yu Mingkong wanted to ask Black Dog to save her Ancestor, but Black Dog refused.
In this way, the Azure Spirit Sect group, with less than half of their disciples, returned to their sect. On the sect square lay the bodies of Bai Hesheng and Zhuge Jin. Many Azure Spirit Sect disciples shed tears.
Looking at the ruined sect, Yu Mingkong's belief in the cultivation became even stronger. She believed that one day she would become someone like Young Master Yufan. She would wait for this time's Central Spirit State genius selection competition and stand out.
In the following days, Yu Xuzi announced the reconstruction of the Azure Spirit Sect and began recruiting disciples again from Southern Desolate Barren.
Dragon Phoenix Mountain.
After Black Dog dealt with the Azure Spirit Sect's matters, he roamed the mountain for most of the day. When he returned, he saw his master watching him from the courtyard entrance.
Black Dog shivered. Was his master angry?
Wang Yufan just quietly watched Black Dog, not saying a word.
Black Dog was nervous and scared. Finally, he decided to act cute and spoiled. He wagged his tail, his eyes curved into crescents, and he slowly shuffled back and forth, moving closer until he lay down at Wang Yufan's feet, forcefully rubbing his large head against Wang Yufan's leg.
Seeing Black Dog like this, he had originally intended to slightly scold the dog for meddling in everything.
"Little Black, remember, don't get involved in things that don't concern us. Last time, that woman came here by chance, so I allowed your actions. If there's a next time, and you meddle without my instruction, then go back to where you came from."
After Wang Yufan finished speaking, he lay down on the rocking chair and fell asleep.
Black Dog was overjoyed by the words. As long as his master kept him, he would definitely not actively help others next time.
However, for today's meal, Black Dog looked at the nearby table and saw only a large bowl, completely empty. Although he had long since entered the state where he can live without eating and drinking, his master's cooking was simply too delicious.
Black Dog entered his doghouse with his big head drooping. Looking at the large bone next to the doghouse, he bit it and closed his eyes, waiting for the next meal.
However, Wang Yufan was not asleep. He opened his eyes again, and the entire starry universe was reflected in them. These eyes seemed to be able to see through all things and perceive everything.
Three days later, Heavenly Severance Manor in Central Spirit State.
"Feng Shang, have you brought back the method to break through to the Central Domain?" Feng Jue asked.
Feng Shang shook his head.
"What? Did the Fallen Cloud Sect in Southern Desolate Barren go back on their word? No, if they did that, we could just destroy their sect and then take it." Feng Jue said.
"Senior Brother, things aren't as you think. Here's what happened."
Feng Shang then recounted everything he had seen and heard during his trip to Southern Desolate Barren to Feng Jue.
"What? You said that Black Dog's strength has reached the Ten-Ranked Demon Beast realm? How is that possible? That's a Ten-Ranked Demon Beast. Even the Center Domain doesn't have one. Only sect masters and above in the upper domain have matching strength. How could it appear in my barren lands?"
"Senior Brother, you seem to have forgotten one more thing."
"Oh, what thing?"
"The master of this Black Dog. A person who can keep a Ten-Ranked Demon Beast as a pet, what realm do you think his strength can reach?"
"Could he already be the legendary Immortal?"
"It's not impossible. Although I didn't see Black Dog's master this time, I know that Black Dog is untamed. To subdue it, either one's realm is higher than its, or it's a Guardian Demon Beast."
