"Ming Ri, what are you doing?"
Finally, the Asura King and the many Asura evil spirits, who had been immersed in joy and excitement, came to their senses.
But it was already too late. Chu Feng and Yaoyao had already fallen into those terrifying hellfires.
In a fit of rage, the Asura King descended directly onto the Royal Platform and seized Prince Ming Ri with one hand.
"Father, can't you see?"
"Your daughter has already become that Chu Feng's lapdog. She acknowledges Chu Feng, but she doesn't acknowledge you."
"If you let her succeed—if you let her command our Asura Spirit Army—then what difference would there be between our Asura Spirit Army and a pack of dogs?"
Prince Ming Ri declared the reason behind his attack on Yaoyao.
"What are you saying? That's your sister."
"She is the hope that can lead us out of this place."
As the Asura King spoke, he raised his hand. If that palm were to strike down, Prince Ming Ri would undoubtedly die.
"Your Majesty, look!!!"
Just then, the higher-ranking Asura evil spirits rushed forward and arrived atop the platform.
And following their urging, the Asura King looked toward the platform—only then did he realize the Royal Platform was still transforming!!!
Although Yaoyao was gone, her blood seemed capable of infinite replication.
It continued to spread across the platform, gradually filling the entire Royal Platform.
"So only a single drop of blood was needed?"
"Our Asura Spirit Army is saved! It's saved!"
Seeing this, the Asura King was overjoyed. He directly hurled Prince Ming Ri away.
Everyone once again turned their gazes toward the Royal Platform.
Extreme joy surfaced on their faces once more.
They sank into that intoxicated excitement all over again.
Almost no one felt sadness or grief over Yaoyao's death.
Finally, the entire Royal Platform was filled with Yaoyao's blood.
The platform blazed with an even more sacred radiance.
However, that radiance did not last long before it dissipated immediately, and then the blood began to dry up.
Everything returned to normal.
"Why is this happening?"
"Your Majesty, what's going on?"
The evil spirits questioned the Asura King.
But the Asura King simply stared at the scene, utterly silent. His expression of despair, however, spoke volumes.
Clearly, this outcome was not what they had hoped for.
"Ha ha ha..."
Suddenly, a feeble yet joyful laugh rang out.
It turned out that Lord Yun Liang had awakened at some point. He must have witnessed everything that had just transpired.
"I told you long ago—our master could only be an Asura Spirit World Master, never ourselves."
"Therefore, the only one who can lead us out of here is a great Asura Spirit World Master, not any of us Asura spirits."
"You refused to believe it. You schemed and plotted, stopped at nothing, and even sacrificed your own people—all to leave this place."
"And in the end, what was the result?"
"Someone did indeed betray us—but it was not I who betrayed Lord Shalu. It was you."
"You are all the traitors."
Lord Yun Liang laughed with bitter mockery.
But at that moment, everyone—including the Asura King—wore expressions of utter despair, and no one paid any attention to Lord Yun Liang.
Hummm— "It seems you will remain trapped here forever."
"But that's fine. At least I can leave this place."
"My Master will guide me to the pinnacle of this vast cultivation world."
"Father, farewell. I shall surpass you."
Seeing this, Prince Ming Ri suddenly smiled, as though this outcome was exactly what he had wished for as well.
Then he produced a teleportation talisman from his hand. He crushed the paper, and a teleportation array materialized, enveloping him.
The moment the array vanished, Prince Ming Ri was gone as well.
"Your Majesty, that was the work of a Spirit World Master."
"When did Prince Ming Ri establish contact with a Spirit World Master?"
The Asura evil spirits questioned the Asura King.
But the Asura King, his face ashen as death, had no heart to deal with any of it.
Thud— The Asura King collapsed to his knees on the Royal Platform as though he had lost all his strength.
Soon, people noticed that tears were actually welling up in his eyes.
He wept. The lofty, incomparably powerful Asura King had actually wept.
