“It’ll be fine, we’ll be fine, we’re leaving this place soon”

The black-skinned man quickly consoled his son.

The staff member was obviously shocked, quickly bowing to them and left the cabin.

He closed the door behind him.

The air froze for a few minutes.

Everyone silently felt the shivering and shaking of the earth.

The entire Drifting Sand world was currently trembling, this unnatural phenomenon couldn’t be explained with a simple earthquake anymore.

“How many minutes left until we take off?” the Demon Scorpion Empress suddenly asked Gu Qing Shan.

“Half a minute” Gu Qing Shan answered.

“It’s a good thing that we’re leaving” the black-skinned man sighed.

“Wait a minute, I have a question—— there were several thousand people on the port just now, how did you immediately realize it was me?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

The black-skinned man grinned: “Because you’re still carrying my stinger without using it after all this time”

“So that’s why”

The black-skinned man laughed bitterly: “Truthfully, you could’ve just used it without worry”

Gu Qing Shan spoke awkwardly: “Actually, I haven’t touched it at all because I don’t know how to use it”

Now that the cabin door is closed and there was no one else here, he returned to his original appearance.

The man explained: “When you bring my stinger with you, no creature in the desert will try anything against you. Furthermore, any enemy who gets stung by it will definitely die——- trust me, my venom is very hard to cure”

“I understand, thank you” Gu Qing Shan nodded.

The Demon Scorpion Empress suddenly reached her hand out to Gu Qing Shan.

“Yes?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“You killed that black-clothed man, share the spoils” the Demon Scorpion Empress demanded.

“But you weren’t there at the time, did you see me do it?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“I don’t care, I spent quite a bit of effort helping you silently” the Demon Scorpion Empress kept her hand reached out.

Gu Qing Shan chuckled.

A Combatant of her level wouldn’t lie for such a minor thing.

And Gu Qing Shan also knew that she didn’t carry any killing intent when they fought.

“But there’s a problem, I can’t open this bag” Gu Qing Shan honestly said.

“Don’t worry, no one in the entire black market can open that guy’s bag, but my husband can” Demon Scorpion Empress boasted.

The black-skinned man smiled awkwardly.

His wife then glared at him.

“Meaning?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“We’ll help you open it and split the things inside 50/50” the Demon Scorpion Empress offered.

“With your strength, do you really need to care about this little bit of money?” Gu Qing Shan asked, a bit confused.

The Demon Scorpion Empress spoke worriedly: “Now that we’re leaving home, we’ll be using money constantly. Our child will need money for his education as well as for his nourishment, not to mention basic necessities. It’s never going to be enough, so we’ll take any money we can get”

“Make sense, we’ll split then” Gu Qing Shan sighed.

He took out the black bag without hesitation and tossed it to them.

The Demon Scorpion Empress then tossed it to the black-skinned man.

The man caught the bag, estimated it briefly before lightly touching the opening of the bag with his finger.

Bam!

With a tiny noise, the bag opened.

The man was about to offer the bag back to Gu Qing Shan, but the Demon Scorpion Empress glared at him again.

So he reluctantly put the bag on the table instead.

“It’s ok, you can pick out your portion first” Gu Qing Shan said.

“So generous?” the Demon Scorpion Empress smiled.

“Hm, I’m only a single person, after all, I don’t have nearly as much of a pressure on daily necessities as your family does, so you can pick first”

The Demon Scorpion Empress’ smile became a lot more sincere.

Since this youngster doesn’t know what’s in the bag, and I get to pick first, doesn’t that mean I can take more or less what I want?

But since he had offered that so openly, she wasn’t in as much of a hurry to pick anything, since that’ll be lacking manners.

So she directly declared: “I’ve seen how strong you are, by cultivator standard, you should be at Tribulation realm late stage, and quite close to breaking through as well”

“Ah, yes I am” Gu Qing Shan replied.

“As far as I can see, you should have one last karmic adversity to go through”

“Yes”

“If that’s the case, come with us for the time being, we’ll accompany you for a short while”

“Thank you very much!” Gu Qing Shan vigorously clasped his fist immediately.

For him, a karmic adversity was a big deal, but to someone of the Demon Scorpion Empress’ level, as long as she wanted to care, it would be nothing but a walk in the park.

“No need to be so formal, since we’re leaving together, lending a helping hand is nothing big” the Demon Scorpion Empress generously said.

Suddenly——-

Oom!

An intense tremble.

The entire world was shaking.

This time, the magnitude of the quake was several times that of before, the shockwaves were strong enough to even scatter clouds in the sky.

However, the ship was already taking off.

The ship quickly went past the layer of clouds and turned into a blurred white streak as it sped up.

“So we’re finally leaving”

The Demon Scorpion Empress’ expression was a bit pale.

“Hah, I really didn’t want to leave the Abyss of Sin, but what can you do, surviving is more important” the black-skinned man sighed.

Gu Qing Shan couldn’t help but be curious: “Why did you have to leave?”

The Demon Scorpion Empress sighed: “Same reason as you”

“Yeah” the black-skinned man added, “that thing is about to wake up”

He stroked his son’s head.

All of a sudden, a golden rune appeared out of thin air.

This rune formed a string that wrapped around the black-skinned man, pulled him away and disappeared in an instant.

Before the Demon Scorpion Empress could do anything, another glittering golden string had wrapped around her as well.

“Damn it, this is the God’s—–”

The Demon Scorpion Empress angrily cursed before disappearing as well.

Right after that, when their son had only just started crying, he was also brought away by a golden flash.

Almost instantaneously, all three of them disappeared without a trace.

All Gu Qing Shan saw were three flashes of golden light, and it was already over.

On the table, the four cups of tea were still steaming.

He was the only person left in the cabin.

Gu Qing Shan slowly stood up.

The current situation was already beyond his imagination.

Both the Demon Scorpion Empress and the black-skinned man were considerable powerful existences.

But both of them were taken away without even a chance to retaliate.

Even though Gu Qing Shan knew that whatever force took them was more than even the Demon Scorpion Empress could handle, he still instinctively drew the Six Paths Great Mountain sword.

Oom!!!

The tremor was getting worse.

An intense omen of death descended from above, tightly gripping Gu Qing Shan’s body and mind.

The karmic adversity is here!

Gu Qing Shan calmed himself down and silently prepared.

Then, he looked outside the wall of glass meant for sight-seeing.

He saw ship after ship burning as they fell from the sky.

Gu Qing Shan glanced at those ships’ number plates.

…a match.

These are all the ships that took off not too long before mine.

Why are they falling?

Gu Qing Shan released his inner sight to search the sky.

Countless ships were burning, falling from their flight, as if the end of the world was coming.

All of a sudden, the ship that Gu Qing Shan was riding on also began to shake uncontrollably, with various of the ship’s own magical signatures reacting all at once.

Not good—–

Gu Qing Shan immediately felt heavy.

He put the black bag on the table away, raised his sword, and thrusted the sword with all his might towards the outer wall of the ship.

Secret Art, [Water Flow Severance]

Dong dong dong dong dong!

No matter how sturdy the wall of the ship was, it couldn’t handle his full strength and a large hole was immediately formed as intense cold winds began to rush inside.

Gu Qing Shan lightly leapt out, turned into a blurred shadow as he escaped through the hole.

Boom!

As soon as he leapt out, the ship exploded into a giant fireball, quickly falling down like the rest of the ships before it.

While hovering in the air, Gu Qing Shan looked up.

A faint layer of golden runes was slowly manifesting.

This layer of runes encompassed the entire sky.

Gu Qing Shan stood still for a few moments, watching as more and more powerful Combatants escaped their various burning ships.

But no one seemed to know why that happened at all.

Everyone was confused and panicked.

As they looked up, they could clearly see that various ships still managed to enter the Drifting Sand world’s atmosphere through the runes without accidents.

But on the contrary, as soon as a ship attempted to leave this world, they would explode and burn as soon as they touched the runes.

——–it was very clear, entry was allowed, exit was not.

Gu Qing Shan squinted his eyes at the golden runes and muttered: “These are Divine Script…”

Back in Triste’s collection world, on top of the snow peak of the Gods, he witnessed similar runes in action once.

But he didn’t expect to see them again in the Strife Zones.

In hindsight, the thing that took the scorpion empress’ family away was most likely something left behind by Divinity as well.

For some reason, Gu Qing Shan’s heart started to beat faster and he shivered.

What are Divinities trying to do?

Aren’t they already dead?

Could it be they managed to predict that the Angel of Condemnation – Xi would one day escape the seal, and so they prepared something else to trap the sinful creature inside this world?

A few moments later, a resounding echo came from the Divine Script that encompassed the world.

「 Summon, Desolate World Eater Demon Bug? 」

As soon as that was heard, the golden runes in the sky slowly faded away.

——they disappeared because they had just used up all their powers for the summoning.

A layer of fleshy red substance suddenly enveloped the sky to form a new barrier.

The fleshy barrier slowly moved.

Quite a few tried flying upwards, wanting to go through the red fleshy substance, but they were all attacked by some sort of invisible force and pummeled to a pulp while they were still in the air.

Gu Qing Shan saw with his own eyes how a Combatant with a presence similar to that of a Lord got squished into a ball of flesh and blood by some invisible force as they tried to fly up.

When this Combatant died, they were still several meters away from reaching the flesh barrier.

Several long and thin fleshy tentacles came out from the flesh barrier and quickly absorbed what remained of the Combatant through them.

—– obviously, from this point onwards, the flesh barrier would be the obstruction for anyone trying to leave.

Gu Qing Shan gritted his teeth, silently thinking of how to go through that barrier.

Suddenly, a female voice complained from inside his sleeves.

“Hahhh, so noisy~”

Gu Qing Shan took out a card.

Within the lapis-colored card, Little Dusk was still sitting on her bed as she yawned: “What’s going on? Can’t I even get a good night’s sleep?”

“Look at the sky” Gu Qing Shan told her.

Little Dusk glanced upward and completely woke up.

“Oh no, this is a demonic bug that can eat an entire world whole, Drifting Sand world was already swallowed by it!” Little Dusk exclaimed.

“Are there any ways to get out?” Gu Qing Shan asked.

“This demonic bug was born even before Divinities, it’s extremely powerful. My current strength is nowhere near enough to deal with it” Little Dusk answered.

The two of them exchanged glances, feeling heavy in their hearts.

On the other side.

To be exact, on the other side of the world, a ship had just entered Drifting Sand world’s orbit.

Aboard the ship.

Sky Eye opened his eyes and reported: “Boss, I found our wanted man”
