The black ring passed through normally, but the huge hand that was like a dark cloud, with fingers transformed into giant snakes slapping over. The black ring pierced through swiftly, without any wounds on this divine and demonic hand, as if the black ring was another kind of power, as if it were nothingness, just passing by in an alternating manner.

  "What is this?" Xiang Liu Fang was shocked.

  "Kill him." At this moment, Shao Yan Nong's eyes were full of murderous intent, but he also looked at the black ring that had appeared above in shock.

  What looks like an ordinary black ring actually makes Shao Yan Nong and Xiang Liu Fang Xin apprehensive, because they don't understand what kind of treasure this is.

  They were two ancient demons with vast knowledge and experience.

  Almost the next Yu Shen Gong, with a similar vision of shock and awe, having seen countless treasures. However, neither of them could recognize what this treasure was, nor could they even tell it apart.

  "How could this black ring easily pass through Xiang Liu Fang's divine demon hand, and yet Xiang Liu Fang's palm doesn't have a single wound?" Mu Zi Shuo was also shocked beyond measure.

  It's as if a mortal and a ghost collided, and the ghost would pass through.

  The willow branches collided with the circular ring, and so did the circular ring, shuttling back and forth.

  But the divine power of Shenmo Xiangliu Fang is so powerful that if it were a ghost, it would have been directly scattered.

  "What is this strange thing?" exclaimed Jiulian, who came from Dongyanshi and had never heard of such a treasure.

  "Huh?" Cangjiang Zhen had already woken up some fragmented memories and felt puzzled.

  Yu Wei first looked puzzled and then revealed a shocked expression: "Could it be... how is this possible..."

  When the black ring flew to the front of Shao Yan Nong and Xiang Liu Fang, a hazy light suddenly appeared, making the black ring seem even more illusory.

  "Shatter!" Xiang Liu Fang roared, his hand suddenly materializing a long arrow, the arrow filled with endless killing intent, fiercely piercing towards that empty black circular ring.

  "Protect."

  Shao Yan Nong also felt that the black-colored ring was strange. Previously, because of the black-colored armor man and other puppets' sneak attack, he had pinched a leaf-like talisman, which he now crushed directly. Suddenly, a hazy golden light enveloped him, protecting him tightly: "Even if a scattered immortal attacks with all his might, I can hold on for a moment."

  Sigh.

  The sharp and fierce thrust of the spear, however, struck empty air, as if that black circular ring did not exist, or existed in another space.

  A black ring emitted a hazy glow, and instantly an invisible suction force was generated.

  "This is..."

  Shao Yan Nong and Xiang Liu Fang's faces suddenly changed color.

  They all felt an invisible force of attraction, and this force was specifically aimed at their White Spoon God Soul.

  "Ah, no——" Shao Yan Nong's face turned pale with terror, and he let out a shrill cry. His soul directly left his body, twisting and contorting as it was sucked into the black circular hole. As Shao Yan Nong had achieved the state of perfecting all phenomena and had extremely high observational skills from a young age, his soul was almost tangible, like a real object. Everyone present could see with their own eyes the twisted soul being sucked into the black circular hole while letting out a blood-curdling scream.

  "What treasure is this, how can it be absorbing my divine soul? How could this happen, how could I end up like this, how could I die at the hands of Ji Ning?! Am I to scatter and disappear?! Ji Ning, Ji Ning, spare me, spare me!" Shaoyan Nong's divine soul let out a silent scream as it was twisted and absorbed.

  "I, I..." Xiang Liu Fang also struggled frantically.

  However, a powerful divine soul was suddenly torn out of his demonic body in an instant. As a primordial demon at the level of yuan, he could already split into two bodies. Apparently, his divine soul had long been fully merged with his demonic body, but now it was forcibly torn apart.

  The massive divine soul let out a loud howl, the sound of which even echoed throughout the entire grand hall, and was directly absorbed by the black circular ring.

  It's just that... Shao Yan Nong and Xiang Liu Fang, no matter how powerful their divine bodies were or what protective treasures they possessed. But in the face of this terrifying and eerie treasure, their souls were forcibly absorbed.

  "Bang." The black ring emitted a crisp sound, as if it were an ice cube, and suddenly shattered into pieces, disappearing into thin air without a trace. Even the souls of Ding Shao Yan and Xiang Liu Fang completely vanished.

  Hmph.

  Shao Yan Nong's **Dependent** stood there, his eyes dull and lifeless, before collapsing to the ground. The powerful Xiang Liu Fang also stood there, following which he too fell to the ground, never to make a sound again. This ancient demon who had lived since the era of the gods, later enslaved by the Shao Yan clan, finally met its demise today.

  "Shao Yan Nong and Xiang Liu Fang, just...just...died like this?" Mu Zi Shuo's eyes widened in shock, his throat dry with astonishment.

  "Dead, this...this..." Jiang Chen was also shocked.

  Jiulian and Yu Wei also looked at the master and servant who had fallen to the ground, silent and still, feeling as if everything was like a dream.

  How powerful is Xiang Liu! The ancient divine demon!

  The Flame Emperor's background and status were indeed strong, previously when responding to the demon tribe's Taoist soldiers, the fixed character scrolls and the star-changing plate that he took out made them feel that the next Feather God of this ancient clan was truly extraordinary, with many life-saving objects. However, in the end, both of them died.

  Kei Nishikori, who was blown away and vomiting blood, also showed a look of astonishment.

  He didn't expect the black ring to be so powerful either.

  "When I first held the black ring, Huang Mao Da Xiong said: 'Ji Ning, I didn't want to give you this treasure at first. However, when your strength becomes stronger, this treasure will not be of much use to you either. When you become a Yuan Shen, you can directly carry this Shui Fu with you. The Wanxiang True Entry Period is also the easiest stage for you to fall, this treasure was personally refined by me back then, although it was just casually refined, it's enough to protect yourself, it can save your life once."

  "Even if it's casually refined, the three-life dao enters personally and refines it. Collecting a yuan-shen level demon god and a great noble son of the Wanxiang realm is easy as can be." Ji Ning's heart was not surprised.

  He had previously only known that this black ring was specifically for collecting and destroying souls, but as for its actual power, he had never used it before and didn't have a good grasp of it. He just acknowledged that the yellow-haired big bear dared to say that it could save his life, so it must be extraordinary.

  Ji Ning was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that he had already embarked on a path of no return.

  Actually, after Shao Yan Nong recognized himself as Wei Chi Shi, he had already walked on the road of no return. He either got killed by Shao Yan Nong or killed Shao Yan Nong. There were only two paths! And killing Shao Yan Nong would undoubtedly make him the next successor to the position of Yu Shen Gong, with a background that was extremely shocking.

  Just like how I was almost destined to be the master of the Western Castle from the start because I had the backing of the castle master, the strongest in the Western Castle, my father.

  Shao Yan Nong is almost certain to be the next Feather God of the Shao Yan clan, and he will definitely have a very powerful backing!

  Shao Yan Nong is dead. Out of sentiment, the powerful existence will also take revenge! For the sake of maintaining Shao Yan's face, Shao Yan Nong must be avenged!

  "Hahaha……" Ji Ning burst out laughing, waving his hand and sending a stream of fire flying out to incinerate Xue Hongyi's corpse, then collecting all the magical artifacts left behind by Xue. Since he was going to flee for his life anyway, the more treasures he had, the better.

  Wow.

  Ji Ning took a step forward and arrived beside Shao Yan Nong and Shen Mo Xiang Liu Fang. A wave of flames burned, directly turning Shao Yan Nong into ashes, but Shen Mo Xiang Liu Fang's body was unscathed by the flames, causing Ji Ning to furrow his brow.

  "Received." Qian Cui put away this divine demon's body and all the treasures.

  Ji Ning flipped his hand and the Key of the Immortal Mansion appeared.

  Ji Ning began his refinement, and the key to the immortal mansion was just a token. Refining it would be much easier.

  Mu Zi Shuo, Jiu Lian, Yu Wei and Cang Jiang Zhen watched in shock as Ji Ning incinerated Xue Hong's corpse and Xiao Yan's body, sweeping away all the treasures, each of them still reeling from the endless shock.

  "Senior brother, you...you killed Shao Yen Nong?" Mu Zi Xiao's mouth opened and closed, still somewhat dazed.

  Around them were more than a dozen Purple Mansion cultivators still alive, all of whom stared fixedly at Ji Ning, especially the two female attendants who had always followed Xiao Yan.

  "Whoosh!"

  Ji Ning's gaze swept across, and suddenly a faint sword aura appeared out of thin air, the sword aura whistling.

  These warriors all died instantly.

  "The dead live on, but will only expose everything." Ji Ning was very clear that these dead men were 100% loyal to Shao Yan Nong, they witnessed all of this, and once Shao Yan's people found these dead men, then everything would be exposed.

  "Ji Ning." Jiulian's face was filled with urgency, and even had tears in her eyes. "How could you kill Shao Yan Nong? This... this is going to be a disaster! The Shao Yan family will definitely hunt you down, there's no way to stop them. He's one of the four princes of the Great Xia Kingdom, his reputation is well-known outside, and even if it means sacrificing their own reputation, the Shao Yan family will not hesitate to hunt you down at all costs."

  Ji Ning looked at Jiu Lian: "I have no choice, there are only two paths for me. One is that Shao Yan Nong kills me, and the other is that I kill him! Either he dies or I die. What do you think I should do?"

  Jiulian also rushed to tears.

  She didn't want to make an enemy of Ji Ning and Shao Yan Nong, but the final result was even worse than she had feared. The next heir apparent of the illustrious Shao Yan clan, the almost certain successor to the title of Feather God 'Shao Yan Nong', died here.

  "There's no need to panic." Ji Ning said calmly, "I killed Shao Yan Nong, but I believe you won't actively report me. So the Shao Yan family naturally won't know who killed Shao Yan Nong for a short time. They'll need time to investigate. I'll let you leave this immortal mansion immediately and return to your respective homes in Dong Yan Shi and An Cang City's Hei Bai Xue Gong. This has nothing to do with you, the murderer is me, the Shao Yan family won't take action against you. By the time the Shao Yan family investigates everything clearly, I'll have already made arrangements to escape."

  "Ji Ning, you're wrong." Yu Wei was also getting anxious and said repeatedly, "It's said that some super existences, like the Xiao Xian, can completely reverse time, making everything that happened before reappear, and through this, it can be directly discovered that you are the murderer."

  Ji Ning's heart suddenly tightened.
