Great Demon Sun Wukong

```

However, when Xi Zhao returned, he found that not only had his Formless Vanishing disappeared, but Zhibei was missing as well. Before he left, he sensed that Zhibei had almost become no different from an ordinary person, so Xi Zhao did not pay him much attention. After all, his relationship with Zhibei was somewhat pretentious. Although Zhibei had now become an enemy due to the first Zhibei, Xi Zhao had no intention of killing him. After searching carefully again, he still came up empty-handed and couldn't help feeling a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Because Formless Vanishing had been severely damaged, and in order to reduce the backlash on himself, he had severed the connection with Formless Vanishing. Now, to his dismay, Formless Vanishing had gone missing. Without the connection of Divine Sense, even if Xi Zhao wanted to search for it, he didn't know where to start. Moreover, there wasn't even a moment's time between his departure and return. Formless Vanishing couldn't run away on its own, and Zhibei, who had become almost a cripple, where could he have fled to with Formless Vanishing in such a short time? Yet under his Divine Sense, there was no trace of Zhibei's aura.

Therefore, there was only one explanation: there were others here while he was fighting with Sun Wukong. Moreover, that person was extremely adept at concealment. After Xi Zhao left with Sun Wukong, that person appeared, took the damaged Formless Vanishing and Zhibei, and fled, using some unknown method to shield their presence from his Divine Sense. So who could this person be? One thing was certain, this person must be very familiar with Xi Zhao, otherwise, they would not have taken the Formless Vanishing.

Aside from the very few who knew Xi Zhao's Formless Vanishing was a part of the former Formless Divine Sword, why would outsiders care about a broken weapon nearly reduced to scrap iron? But among those who were familiar with Xi Zhao and had come to the Patrolling Celestial World, there were only so few. The people of the Annihilation Demon Nation had all been sent back. Could it be someone from the Myriad Demons Country? Unable to conjure any lead and pressed for time, Xi Zhao had to put this matter aside and return to find Ling Weiyang and the Spirit Controller as a priority.

Leaving that underground space and sensing the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent sealed in the air by Dao Zhun, Xi Zhao knew there wasn't much time. Based on the current situation, in at most a quarter of an hour, the Annihilation Nine Headed Serpent would definitely break free from Dao Zhun's seal and begin its destruction. What made Xi Zhao uneasy was whether the Spirit Controller had encountered some trouble or truly planned to abandon him and Ling Weiyang? Otherwise, why hadn't he come to find him and then leave together?

With a sense of unease and a hint of impatience, Xi Zhao flew at full speed toward the place where Ling Weiyang and Sha Wujing had battled before. Meanwhile, Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Sha Wujing, along with the body of Ling Weiyang, returned to where Ye Zi and others were. Defeating Ling Weiyang was definitely a significant victory for them. At this moment, Po Jun and the others, under the earnest healing of Ye Zi, had recovered a bit. Although some of the very serious injuries couldn't be healed in a short time, at least their lives were mostly safe.

When Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Sha Wujing arrived at the group's location with Ling Weiyang's body, everyone was shocked to see Ling Weiyang's body, carried on Sha Wujing's back, and couldn't believe it. Ling Weiyang was dead just like that? Rogue Heart Sword Hero did not explain much, stepped forward, saw Wan Jun lying on the ground still unconscious, smiled, and then placed a hand on Wan Jun's forehead. Soon, Wan Jun gradually woke up. Before he could utter a word of shock, he already saw Rogue Heart Sword Hero sitting in front of him. Wanting to say something, he found himself at a loss for words.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero patted Wan Jun's shoulder and said, "Junior brother, I've avenged the grudge you and master had. I hope the knot in your heart can be untied. And from now on, the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss will no longer be a Demonic Device." With that, Rogue Heart Sword Hero handed the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, radiating brilliant starlight, to Wan Jun. Holding the sword in his hands, Wan Jun's first words were, "Senior brother, I was wrong!" How many years had Rogue Heart Sword Hero waited to hear that sentence?

"It's okay, making mistakes is not the end as long as you correct them. Alright, let's talk about our affairs later, there are more important matters now." Wan Jun nodded earnestly, but he extended his hand and offered the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss back to Rogue Heart Sword Hero, saying, "Senior brother, this sword is more suitable for you now. Take it, and find me a new one later." Rogue Heart Sword Hero did not decline, took the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss, and then pulled Wan Jun to stand up.

The ones who had blocked the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon for Dao Zhun had suffered deeply. The Dragon Emperor and Wu Ming had suddenly left for some reasons, and Hidden Mountain died in the battle. Po Jun's Twin Swords were broken and he was seriously injured, and Ming Tiekuang had taken the Thunder Fire Scorching Flame Cannon and disappeared. Although Po Jun and Hei Kui were gravely injured, their conditions had stabilized by Ye Zi's healing. Wan Jun was slightly wounded, but was now basically untroubled. Yu Fan Taoist Monk was the most seriously hurt, with Ye Zi still providing him healing. Ye Wu's condition was also fairly good; after all, he had attached himself to Hidden Mountain, rather than directly engaging in battle. The little monkey was extremely weak, but was not unconscious. Flame God's condition was relatively good, being from the Burst Phoenix Clan, his recovery ability was also exceptionally formidable.

There were the Nine Decisions Vajra Apes, who were now holding the Wasteland Soil Stele and leaning against a large tree, gasping for breath. The chest of the Nine Decisions Vajra Ape had shattered, but relying on its robust life force, Ye Zi had managed to heal him enough that he was no longer in grave danger.

"Sword Hero, did the two of you kill this Ling Weiyang? This, this..." Flame God asked in astonishment when he saw the Rogue Heart Sword Hero. Although they hadn't participated in the subsequent battle, they were acutely aware of the formidable aura emanating from Ling Weiyang's evolution into the Purple Gold Kirin and Sha Wujing's fusion with the Ultimate Water No. 8. Given the Rogue Heart Sword Hero's prior actions, they had harbored little hope due to the vast gap in levels, which couldn't simply be bridged by a Domain Instrument.

So, seeing the corpse of Ling Weiyang genuinely shocked them.

Sha Wujing dropped the corpse of Ling Weiyang he was holding and said in a deep voice, "It wasn't much to do with me, mainly the Sword Hero. I just played a distracting role. Right, where's my eldest brother? I've been feeling uneasy. Has something happened to my eldest brother?" No one could answer Sha Wujing's question. They also didn't know where Sun Wukong had gone. In fact, the situation had become very chaotic.

"I'll go find my eldest brother; you all wait here," said Sha Wujing as he prepared to stand up. Normally, because of their connection through the World Suppressing Stele, he had a subtle sense of contact with Sun Wukong, but ever since he emerged from the ocean formed by the Nine Heavens Pure Water, he could no longer feel that connection. Just as Sha Wujing was about to ride the clouds away, he was stopped by the Rogue Heart Sword Hero. "Sha Wujing, don't act rashly. We need to consolidate all our strength at the moment. I believe the Monkey won't be defeated so easily. Now that we've taken out Ling Weiyang, that's our biggest advantage."

Flame God also persuaded, "The Sword Hero is right, the current situation is indeed very chaotic, we need to plan carefully. Otherwise, all our efforts may come to nothing." Seeing Flame God and the Rogue Heart Sword Hero saying so, Sha Wujing suppressed the unease in his heart. However, just as everyone was about to discuss their next move, an unexpected change arose.

The first to notice was Sha Wujing. "Look quickly, it's Xi Zhao. Elder... Eldest brother?" Utilizing the faint resonance with the World Suppressing Stele within Sun Wukong's body, Sha Wujing was the first to spot Xi Zhao flying rapidly towards them, and saw Sun Wukong being held by Xi Zhao's hand. But Sha Wujing couldn't believe it—his eldest brother, the all-powerful, fearsome eldest brother was being carried behind Xi Zhao like a dead dog.

Hearing Sha Wujing's exclamation, the rest of them also turned their heads and immediately noticed Xi Zhao, who was getting closer and closer. Rogue Heart Sword Hero patted Sha Wujing on the shoulder and whispered, "Stay calm, follow me." With that, he soared into the air with Sha Wujing closely behind. Among those present, only Sha Wujing and Rogue Heart Sword Hero had reached the strength of a Half-step Heavenly Venerate, the only ones capable of contending with Xi Zhao. The others were mostly injured and even if they weren't, they were no match for Xi Zhao, who was at the Heavenly Venerate Realm.

Rogue Heart Sword Hero was not stupid either. As he took to the air, he had signaled to Flame God and Wan Jun to prepare for the destruction of Ling Weiyang's body. After Rogue Heart Sword Hero and Sha Wujing ascended, they stood right in front of Xi Zhao. The Sword Hero had been about to say something, but before he could even speak, Sha Wujing had already charged forward.

At this moment, Sha Wujing felt like he was being consumed by rage. The audacity to harm Sun Wukong was more infuriating and painful to him than if they had killed him. The most evident result of Sha Wujing's complete fury was that the skies of the Patrolling Celestial World suddenly became covered with dark clouds, and thunder roared with furious flashes.
