Chapter 2306: Mutual Suspicion!

Chapter 2306: Chapter 2306: Mutual Suspicion!

The inner core of the Gold-devouring Rat, carrying the Primordial Spirit, left a fierce remark and was about to escape into the void.

However, just at that moment.

A streak of gray light instantly pierced through the space.

Directly hitting that inner core.

The Gold-devouring Rat let out a piercing scream, and then, the inner core was completely destroyed, and its Primordial Spirit instantly became void.

This streak of gray light was the Devouring Spirit Evil Light shot by the Divine Soul Firebird.

At this moment, the Gold-devouring Rat was completely obliterated, both in form and spirit.

After dealing with the Gold-devouring Rat, Zhou Yu breathed a sigh of relief, his face unable to suppress the excitement.

Unexpectedly, the first time he used the Heavenly Punishment Slash, it turned out to have such formidable power.

This way, he had gained another ace up his sleeve.

Of course, at this moment, Zhou Yu didn’t stay here any longer.

After all, there were still over a hundred High Rank Demon Beasts, and one of them was equally powerful as the Gold-devouring Rat.

Zhou Yu did not want to be besieged by them.

Just as Zhou Yu was about to leave, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes.

"Hmm?"

Zhou Yu extended his hand, grasping through the air.

Only to see a gemstone-like object caught in Zhou Yu’s hand.

Zhou Yu was about to sense this object.

This gemstone surprisingly tried to fly away instantly.

Naturally, Zhou Yu wouldn’t let it succeed.

In Zhou Yu’s palm, several Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunders transformed into rays of Thunder Light, completely sealing the surrounding void.

The gemstone charged around for a while but couldn’t break through the seal of the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder, and was eventually forcefully sealed by Zhou Yu.

At this moment, he didn’t have time to study this object closely.

Zhou Yu directly threw it into the Four Directions Realm, then activated the Thunder Banner, and continued to escape into the distance.

And just as Zhou Yu killed the Gold-devouring Rat, in a huge structure deep within the Black Gold Canyon.

Three figures stood atop a high tower, hands behind their backs.

At that moment, one of the men in a dark blue robe suddenly frowned.

Seeing this, the man with a gold eye in the center of his forehead asked:

"Tie Kuang, what’s wrong."

Tie Kuang squinted, eyes gleaming coldly.

"My subordinate, the Gold-devouring Rat’s aura suddenly disappeared."

"It seems it was killed!"

"The Gold-devouring Rat?"

"If I recall correctly, its power had reached the Integration Realm Early Stage Peak."

"With his cultivation, within the Black Gold Canyon, apart from the Demon Ancestor and the three of us, no one should be able to kill him, right?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Kuang looked at the golden-eyed man, his tone unfriendly.

"Red Eye, you seem to know my subordinates well."

"Could it be that the situation with the Gold-devouring Rat was your doing?"

The Red-eyed Tai Sui snorted coldly.

"You think I have that spare time?"

"My son was killed by a foreigner, and I dispatched Jiucheng to find him, only to discover she was killed too."

"Do you think I’m not anxious?"

Tie Kuang heard this, doubt flashed across his eyes.

"If your people weren’t causing trouble, how could the Gold-devouring Rat meet an accident?"

At that moment, an elder covered in bloody runes suddenly spoke:

"Tie Kuang, you seem to forget, there’s someone else in the Black Gold Canyon who has the power to do this!"

Tie Kuang heard this, frowning.

"Blood Eyes, are you referring to that Beastman?"

Blood Eyes replied indifferently:

"That Beastman came across realms with us initially."

"It is said that the Beastman suffered some injuries, but after hundreds of years, those injuries are likely healed."

"It’s definitely not one of us."

Upon hearing this, Tie Kuang’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"That damned Beastman actually snatched the Plane Treasure Fragment bestowed by the Demon Ancestor."

"Really despicable."

Tie Kuang suddenly turned to Blood Eyes, saying:

"Blood Eyes, you mentioned the Beastman deliberately; you’re not trying to guide me to deal with it, are you?"

"I warn you, put away your little calculating."

"Don’t let me find out you’re involved in this!"

Upon hearing this, Blood Eyes frowned.

"Tie Kuang, what do you mean?"

"I’ve never met your subordinates; are you trying to pick a fight?"

Tie Kuang snorted coldly.

"Previously, the Gold-devouring Rat relayed a message that he’d encountered your apprentice Xue Ying."

"And shortly after this encounter, he was in trouble; could it just be coincidence?"

Faced with Tie Kuang’s icy gaze, Blood Eyes snorted coldly:

"My apprentice Xue Ying is merely in the Void Refinement Realm; how could she handle the Gold-devouring Rat?"

Tie Kuang coldly replied:

"Best if that’s the case!"

At that moment, the Red-eyed Tai Sui suddenly spoke:

"This is odd, Tie Kuang, Blood Eyes, you both dispatched the Gold-devouring Rat and Xue Ying; for what purpose?"

Upon hearing this, Tie Kuang and Blood Eyes were both startled.

Then, Blood Eyes smirked at the Red-eyed Tai Sui.

"Red Eye, what do you mean?"

"Don’t you know about the Cannibal Immortal situation and didn’t you also send Jiucheng and Wu Long?"

The Red-eyed Tai Sui looked surprised.

"Cannibal Immortal?"

"Are you saying Cannibal Immortal appeared in the Black Gold Canyon?"

"Of course!" Blood Eyes sneered coldly:

"What? You truly didn’t know?"

"Then why did you send out Jiucheng and Wu Long?"

The Red-eyed Tai Sui said solemnly:

"My son was killed by a foreigner, and I dispatched them to pursue this person."

"If it weren’t for the Demon Ancestor about to descend, and fearing delaying his matters, I would have gone myself long ago."

Upon hearing this, Blood Eyes sized up the Red-eyed Tai Sui.

"Your son was really killed by a foreigner?"

"We were unaware of this?"

The Red-eyed Tai Sui’s eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"These days, have we not all been busy with the Demon Ancestor’s matters?"

"This is too important, no one dares delay."

"I sent out two subordinates to deal with the one who killed my son."

"But you two, shouldn’t you tell me about the Cannibal Immortal situation?"

Blood Eyes cast a glance at Tie Kuang.

Tie Kuang casually laughed, saying:

"There’s not much to say about this."

"People reported seeing Cannibal Immortal around the outskirts of Black Gold Canyon, but no one has found it yet."

"Whether this information is accurate is still uncertain."

The Red-eyed Tai Sui instantly saw through Tie Kuang’s reluctance to share the truth.

Actually, although the three of them were Demon Ancestor’s subordinates, and outwardly cooperative in preparing for the Demon Ancestor’s arrival.

Privately, the three often schemed against each other.

Such good news regarding Cannibal Immortal, they naturally wouldn’t share willingly.

The Red-eyed Tai Sui snorted coldly.

"Is it really so simple?"

"I’ll see what this Cannibal Immortal truly is."

He then gestured, and a Jade Talisman floated before him.

The Red-eyed Tai Sui coldly said:

"Go, investigate the matter of the Cannibal Immortal for me."

After speaking, he waved his hand, and the Jade Talisman instantly vanished.

Witnessing this, Tie Kuang and Blood Eyes smiled insincerely and said:

"Well, whether it’s Cannibal Immortal or your son’s issue, both must be set aside for now."

"Now, we need to discuss the real business."
