"Still alive!"

Ao Tian furrowed his brows and snorted coldly:

"Just a head, and you're telling me it's not dead?"

Honestly, Ao Tian wouldn't actually make a move against Yang Yan.

The key was, he couldn't beat him!

So, this guy vented all his anger on that head.

He raised an eyebrow, grabbed the hair on the head, not caring about the dirt, and lifted it to shout a few curses to vent his frustration.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he raised the head, it turned on its own, face towards Ao Tian, sinister and terrifying, eyes glaring at him intensely.

"What the hell!"

Ao Tian shivered, almost threw the head he was holding hard away.

"What is this thing?"

Ao Tian fixed his gaze on Yang Yan, waiting for an answer.

Yang Yan shrugged helplessly, smiling as he explained:

"It's the Demon God's head. I'm telling the truth; it's not dead. Now you've seen it, I wasn't lying to you."

"Is that so? The Demon God's head?"

After hearing Yang Yan, Ao Tian couldn't help but suspiciously ask again.

Without waiting for Yang Yan to reply, he looked down at the head, almost the size of half a person, marveling as he said:

"I'm holding the Demon God's head in my hand? Haha, haha! Interesting, absolutely interesting!"

Seeing Ao Tian laughing so much, Yang Yan disdainfully pouted:

"What's so funny? You weren't the one who chopped off the head."

Ao Tian twisted his neck, lifted his head arrogantly and said:

"So what if I wasn't! Holding the Demon God's head, that's badass!"

Yang Yan couldn't help but roll his eyes, somewhat helplessly saying:

"Come on, I didn't give you this thing to brag about. Besides, who would you brag to anyway?"

After saying this, Yang Yan quickly waved his hand, blocking Ao Tian's words.

He didn't want to engage in any kind of philosophical discussion with this guy.

He had experienced Ao Tian's chatterbox tendencies, and definitely didn't want to try again.

"This thing can no longer be destroyed humanely, but the seal of the Ghostly Abyss is broken. Leaving it there is foolish."

Ao Tian obviously understood what Yang Yan meant, but still asked somewhat uncertainly:

"You mean to leave it with me?"

Yang Yan chuckled lightly:

"Of course! I want to leave it with you."

With Yang Yan's confirmation, Ao Tian's expression instantly became a bit strange.

He looked deeply at Yang Yan, and then at the Demon God's head in his hand, saying somewhat troubled:

"You trust me enough to dump such a big head on me?"

"Mm!"

Yang Yan nodded earnestly:

"Otherwise, why else would I be looking for you? I've been really busy lately."

Ao Tian immediately became disgruntled.

"Your place is so big, can't fit one head? I don't want it!"

While speaking, with a clang, Ao Tian had already disdainfully thrown the large Demon God's head into a wooden box.

Yang Yan seemed to have anticipated this outcome.

So, he smiled and carefully closed the box, then said to Ao Tian:

"You can refuse the head if you want. But, the Demon God's body is missing, I need to find it. Will you preserve the body then?"

Ao Tian seemed to understand something at this point, glaring fiercely at Yang Yan, and shook his head like a rattle:

"No way! Absolutely not! Are you kidding me? My house isn't a graveyard!"

"However, if you want me to find a place to bury it, that might be possible!"

Yang Yan exaggeratedly rolled his eyes and without saying a word, placed the box in front of Ao Tian, seriously saying:

"Whether it's the head or the body, one of us needs to preserve one."

"Because these two things can't be destroyed, and can't be put together. What if they revive?"

Yang Yan's words made sense.

Ao Tian could understand it too.

Outwardly saying no but eventually quietly accepting the box.

What Yang Yan didn't expect was, the Demon God didn't need the head and body together to revive.

As soon as the seal was opened, the body had already used a Secret Technique to escape from the abode without pause.

Even with Yang Yan's power, amidst the explosion of the broken array and the surrounding chaotic and violent energy, no trace was found.

Until a month and a half later…

On this day, Yang Yan was still at home with Zhou Hanyun, enjoying a tender moment, almost about to take things a step further, while another scene unfolded in the Hidden World.

The Eastern part of the Hidden World, where several first-class influences had long entrenched, deeply rooted.

Along with them, many second and third-class influences were subordinate to them.

Usually, while the Hidden World was full of disputes, it barely affected these first-class influences.

However, now Yang Yan had spread the news that the external Demon Race was close.

The seriousness of the situation kept the Hidden World's current high-end influences in check, no one intentionally causing war without incident.

The Yuwen Family in the Hidden World belonged to the Eastern Influence, their power ranking among the top-tier influences.

The other first-class influences in the East essentially looked up to the Yuwen Family.

Yet, the peaceful Yuwen Family surprisingly seemed unusually unremarkable today.

First, one of the Yuwen Family's ancestors suddenly awakened from seclusion, after charging out of the forbidden area heading directly for the towering city walls.

Occupied as a city, the Yuwen Family's walls were ancient and majestic.

Of course, these walls weren't merely for show.

The faintly flowing brilliance atop the walls indicated everything.

The ancestor's sudden appearance, that was a huge event.

The Yuwen Family's high-level members were naturally all alarmed.

They rushed to the city wall immediately.

Except for the Patriarch, who dared to salute the ancestor, others were intimidated by the powerful aura released by the ancestor, rendered silent.

"The skies have changed, the heavens have changed!"

Staring at the distant starry sky, the ancestor suddenly uttered a nonsensical statement.

The Yuwen Family Patriarch asked with a puzzled expression:

"Ancestor, what do you mean?" 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

He didn't understand how this immensely powerful ancestor, who had been in retreat, suddenly charged out and stood on the city wall, talking about changing heavens?

"Why are you all standing around? There's no time left! Hurry up and open the family protection array! Open it!"

The ancestor suddenly turned to scold everyone angrily, his eyes filled with urgency.

Behind him, the Yuwen Family's elders were clueless, standing awkwardly, no one initiating the array.

Finally, the Patriarch asked with reluctance:

"Ancestor, every time we activate the array, the consumption is extraordinarily immense, even briefly would exhaust Yuwen Family's reserves. Currently, we…"

The Patriarch hadn't finished, but the intention was clear.

The Yuwen Family had no surplus, if it's just activating the array for showing off, then… reconsider at least!
