After they waited for some time, Long Tianhuo directly asked Jing Shen. "Did you send the five immortal spirits to kill my son-in-law's other wives and family? What was your reason for doing that?"
"Yes, I did order them to capture them, and I also ordered them to kill those who resisted." Zhu Ling and the spirit guardians frowned after Jing Shen said that. "I did that to fulfill the third prophecy, so this universe will fall into a long darkness because of him." 'Damn it! I didn't want to say that, but my mouth spoke by itself.'
Feng Huang then asked Zhu Ling in a mocking tone. "Do you realize that you are so naive? Do you still believe that your dear advisor is really innocent?"
Zhu Ling did not say anything to refute Feng Huang, especially since Jing Shen had not said anything about the previous spirit emperor. "Did you get involved in my predecessor's disappearance? How did you do it? Is he still alive now?"
Zhu Ling's question made Jing Shen break out in a cold sweat, and he tried hard to cover his mouth. However, Long Tianhuo smirked slightly and stepped harder on his chest, causing him to scream in pain. "Argh! Yes! I did it! I was the one who caused the previous Spirit Emperor to disappear!
I used an artifact that Vadin gave me, and it could ignore his abilities, including sealing his cultivation. He's still alive, but he's not in the Netherworld Realm, and Hundun took him away to a place in the Supreme Realm called the Desolate Abyss Domain."
The spirit guardians turned furious after hearing Jing Shen's confession about their previous spirit emperor, but Zhu Ling immediately stopped them. In fact, Zhu Ling was also furious about Jing Shen's confession, but his emotions became unstable upon learning that his predecessor was still alive.
As Feng Huang said before, the existence of the spirit emperor was similar to that of the seer, and there could only be one of them in each era. "Do you know anything about the Desolate Abyss Domain?"
"Even though you are the spirit emperor, even if your cultivation has broken through to the three immortal realms, you will still never be able to enter that place." Zhu Ling and the spirit guardians looked at Long Tianhuo with frowns. "The Desolate Abyss Domain is the most dangerous place in the supreme realm, and if you insist on entering it, you will never be able to leave again.
I don't mean to brag, but I'm one of the strongest there, and few can match me. Even so, I was unable to face the evil aura and pressure from that place, and I almost lost control of myself. That's why I canceled my intention, and I never approached that place again. In fact, that domain is small; there is only a dark abyss there, but no one knows its depth."
"The desolate abyss?"
"Yeah." Long Tianhuo nodded to them. "Countless cultivators tried to explore it in the past, including some mythical beasts, but none of them returned, so we assumed that they were dead. I don't understand how your predecessor managed to survive there, but it's probably because Hundun used something to keep him alive."
"Do you think my predecessor is really still alive?" Zhu Ling once again inquired.
"Yeah." Long Tianhuo responded to his question with a soft sigh. "I don't know anything about your predecessor, but I know that the death of a special being like him will cause a catastrophe in the place where he died. However, the spirit of Void told me that she had checked almost all the realms, but she couldn't find any signs of his death, so we concluded that he was indeed still alive."
"I see." In fact, Zhu Ling himself had always suspected that his predecessor was still alive, especially since his life crystal was still shining despite being bleak.
"Anyway, you should forget about your intention to capture my son-in-law and Luxuria, or I will kill these subordinates of yours on the spot, and I will also go to the spirit realm to slaughter all members of your race."
After Long Tianhuo's statement, Lei Zhong and the other spirit guardians subconsciously took a step back; even Zhu Ling himself was shocked by his threat, and he did not doubt that he would actually do it.
Feng Huang suddenly spoke to Zhu Ling. "You might be able to do something to Luxuria, especially since she is of the spirit race and you are her emperor. Unfortunately, you won't be able to do anything to my son-in-law, especially since he already has true immortal energy, and he still has many other advantages that other cultivators don't have.
Moreover, you already know about the three prophecies, all of which relate to him and his women, so you will only bring darkness to this universe if you insist on doing so, especially since I can see that he loves all of his women, and he will not hesitate to do anything to protect them.
If that happens, you will have to bear the lives of countless people, and you will become the enemy of all the residents of these upper realms."
"So Luxuria's decision to sacrifice Invidia really worked, huh?" Zhu Ling muttered in shock as he looked at Feng Huang and Long Tianhuo, and he didn't expect that Ling Yun would manage to obtain true immortal energy. "All right, I will stop chasing them, and I will bring Jing Shen back to the spirit realm to receive his punishment."
Lei Zhong and the spirit guardians were disappointed with Zhu Ling's decision, especially since Luxuria had broken their race's taboo by sacrificing Invidia for Ling Yun. Even so, none of them protested his decision, but Long Tianhuo suddenly crouched down beside Jing Shen and crippled his cultivation. "Argh! No!"
