Bei Mingzi was also a demon who had attained Dao for many years and thus, it was never easy to defeat him. However, Shen Lian had first destructed his technique, then he sent Fang Yanying and the rest to besiege him. Every step had successfully trapped him. Upon seeing Yi Zhi blocking his way, his mind and spirit were already in a mess.
At this moment, Shen Lian used his Mountain Reversal Illusionary Technique to make Bei Mingzi lose the defense of his mind and spirit. Thus, Yi Zhi could take his time to send the Flying guillotine into Bei Mingzi’s mouth.
Once the Flying guillotine entered into Bei Mingzi’s body, he instantly showed his true form which was a Suparna bird. When he flapped his pair of golden wings, there were boundless aurora rays appearing instantly, dispersing to all directions. However, when it traveled up to three hundred meters away, the rays seemed to have touched an intangible restriction and they instantly disappeared.
He could not be bothered by these at this moment. It could be seen that his pair of sharp eyes looked bloody and he was howling non-stop. He was obviously trying to force the Flying guillotine that diffused into his body to get out of his body.
In spite of that, Shen Lian had made the Flying guillotine from the essence of Asura Blood Sea and it was the most filthy. Once this entered into his demon body, it instantaneously polluted his pure demonic power and also infected his Primordial Spirit.


Although Bei Mingzi was quite powerful, he was lost when he faced this extremely Yin and filthy thing. He was determined to die together with this man. He had the demonic body and he belonged to the bloodline of divines and demons. Thus, his physical body was very sturdy. Although he could not utilize his demonic power at this moment, he could still be invincible, depending solely on his physical body.
A pair of sharp claws approached Yi Zhi and attacked him crazily. Due to its extreme craziness, his attack was even more aggressive than usual. The space was like the window paper, it was instantly being pierced through. The Qi of vitality gushed in madly in all directions, thunderbolt and lightning could be seen vaguely.
Yi Zhi did not move at all. He actually allowed Bei Mingzi’s demon claw to scratch his head. However, the strangest thing had happened. Bei Mingzi’s mystical claws which could pierce through the heaven and earth could not break Yi Zhi’s scalp. Bei Mingzi’s entire demon body was filled with blood veins which drained all his energy and hence, his sole remaining power was easily taken away by Yi Zhi.
After the Flying guillotine polluted Bei Mingzi’s demonic power, his mind, and spirit, it had also polluted his Qi and state of blood. The madder Bei Mingzi got, the stronger the extremely Yin and filthy evil Qi. Thus, the circumstances happened.
At this moment, Yi Zhi calmly took out a net and threw on Bei Mingzi’s demonic body that managed to trap this Underworld Demon Sect’s Path Master who was also a demon with a powerful background. He then became a prisoner.
When he took Bei Mingzi back to the capitol, he did not try to avoid the public. A lot of people had seen that he caught a Suparna bird. After locking Bei Mingzi up, Yi Zhi went to meet Shen Lian.
At this moment, Shen Lian was dressed in the emperor costume which was as though the sun, the moon, and the stars were all within his control, and his majesty was strong. However, upon meeting Yi Zhi, the grandeur on his body immediately disappeared and he was only left with a Daoist’s elegance.
Yi Zhi made an obeisance by cupping one of his hands in the other before his chest and said,
Your humble servant already captured the evil demon and I’m here to report on the task completion.

Shen Lian asked,
Did he mention anything?

Yi Zhi said,
He asked for Your Majesty to set him free or else not only the Underworld Demon Sect will not forgive Your Majesty but also when his ancestor comes, he’d make Your Majesty vanish into ashes.



Shen Lian smiled faintly and said,
Looks like this demon’s background is not simple. Did he mention who his ancestor is?

Yi Zhi said,
He didn’t want to tell.

Shen Lian said without much concern,
The result is going to be the same whether he wants to tell or not. The day after tomorrow, at twelve o’clock, you’ll be the one to execute him. Let his body and spirit all completely vanish in front of everybody.

Yi Zhi hesitated for a second and said,
Although he doesn’t want to tell his background, I can somehow guess a little. This demon might be related to the Demon Master of Kunpeng in tales.

The most powerful ones among the demons were the Great Demon Kings, however, the mortal world was not aware that there was another powerful character among the demons named the
Demon Master
. There was only one person with such title after countless years, that person was Kunpeng. There were rumors saying that he had already attained Dao during the Emperor’s time immemorial. Besides, his mana was only second to the Emperor. He was being given differential treatment by the Emperor to teach the immemorial demon tribe and he was favored by thousands of generations of the demons. Then, the disappearance of the Emperor and the dictatorship of the Lord Emperor made all the deities worship him and even The Three Pristine Daoist Masters from the thirty-three heavens on the Elysium also transformed to start their duties in the Heaven Courtyard to exhibit their support towards the legally constituted authority of Heaven Courtyard except for Kunpeng. He did not obey the rules of the Heaven Courtyard. He was the few powerful ones that could stay independent from the Heaven Courtyard.
However, the tragedy of the world which happened later on and there were rumors that he had disappeared, thus, some of the things gradually became unknown to people. However, Shen Lian was not surprised that Yi Zhi knew something about the ancient secrets since Yi Zhi’s background was mysterious and his mother was also the deity of Yi river.
Shen Lian smiled and said,
So what? If the Demon Master of Kunpeng really wants to fight for him, the result will be the same whether we release him or not. Moreover, I can predict that in the future the Demon Master of Kunpeng definitely will not appear. To be precise, he might not appear for a very long time.
Yi Zhi asked with doubt,
Why does Your Majesty make such a judgment?

Shen Lian said,
Previously, I got the Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha Dao fruit from the Netherworld’s old tree and I managed to find out some secrets about the Netherworld. In this world, Taiyi was already the strongest, technically there shouldn’t be character better than Taiyi. Besides, this world is involved in a huge secret. Now I’ve managed to guess about something but it’s not time for me to tell you now. As for the demon who dares to offend me, he must have the realization of the annihilation of his spirit and body. I also want to take this opportunity to warn the future enemies.

Yi Zhi was aware that although he had started serving Shen Lian long ago, he was still not someone who Shen Lian trusted. It was normal for Shen Lian to choose to be selective in telling him things. However, ever since Shen Lian appeared again, he could not see through Shen Lian anymore. Hence, when Shen Lian recalled him from Youshen, he did not hesitate as he was afraid that Shen Lian might have any suspicions about him.



Your humble servant will act according to Your Majesty’s command,
his thoughts were in a complication but still, he obeyed to Shen Lian’s order.
When Yi Zhi left the palace, Fang Yanying and Song Qingyi were on their way into the palace.
Song Qingyi smirked and said,
Brother Shen, your Dao of Yi is really extraordinary. I’d really like to know if you can see through my past and future one day when you’ve improved.

Shen Lian smiled faintly and said,
The past can’t be changed and so, it’s actually not too hard to calculate. As for future, aside from Daoist Master Buddha, who has the courage to say that they can predict accurately? What I can do is only finding out the changes which may happen in the future and give some guidance using this advantage.

Song Qingyi sighed,
That’s already considered very rare and precious. But from what I see, that demon’s background is something big, how are you going to handle this?

Shen Lian said,
I’ve already ordered Yi Zhi to carry out the execution on the day after tomorrow.

Song Qingyi said,
I’m afraid that there may be some troubles.

Shen Lian laughed inexplicably and said,
Actually I’ve already had a lot of troubles.

Fang Yanying did not agree with Shen Lian,
This demon attempted to destroy your establishment. If you let him go so easily, I’m afraid that other people in the Netherworld would look down on you. By then you’d have even more troubles.

Song Qingyi thought to himself for a second and said,
I’ve not thought more deeply about this matter. Niece Yanying seems to understand the entire picture.



Shen Lian said,
Alright, it’s been a tiring day for you, Yanying and Qingyi. However, I’ve got one more favor to ask.

Song Qingyi said,
You can just ask us, Brother Shen.

Fang Yanying did not respond. Since her master was not around anymore, she considered her uncle-master as her own master. She will listen to any of Shen Lian’s instructions.
