Chapter 576 - 529 Leaving Three
Two days later.
In the central region of Panguang, on an open grassland between the Faceless Sword Sect and the Suyue Sect.
The plains were covered with ice and snow, the former grasslands long since turned into withered black ash, and the sky still sprinkled dark snowflakes. Deformed monsters, thoroughly made hideous, crawled, tumbled, and fought on the ground.
The once peaceful Panguang had turned into such a purgatorial wasteland overnight, demonstrating just how powerful the pollution from the Evil Soil was.
Li Chengyi walked silently across this land with all the Sealing Spheres in tow.
"Eldest Senior Brother, do you see? This is the evil result of our battles... If it weren’t for my aim to stop you from destroying the world, I would never have wished to wield such a malevolent power... Now that the earth is contaminated, the greatest responsibility lies with you."
Li Chengyi sighed inwardly.
"....." Huo Qingkong had nothing to say. Although the logic was sound, didn’t you play a part in this as well?
"You two are quite something... Now isn’t the time to argue over whose responsibility is greater, right? We should quickly address the trouble that will come when Huo Qingkong breaks his seal in the future," the Demon Emperor said, enjoying the drama from the side.
"Of course, that needs resolving, and the pollution here is also problematic," said Li Chengyi, "because if not handled properly, it will continue to expand and spread, until it completely covers the whole world... turning every living thing into grotesque, mutated creatures."
As the new successor to the Emperor of Flowers, he naturally had the power to control the spread of the Evil Soil, but doing so would require his continuous presence here.
