Several seconds later, Fang Jinxiu could no longer hold back.

"Fine fine, I'll just say it." Fang Jinxiu waved her hand, and then carefully looked around to confirm there was absolutely no one else nearby before she leaned closer to Tang Rao, with a mysterious air about her.

"Tang Rao, speaking of which, have you noticed that there's something off about Bai Ze?" Fang Jinxiu said.

"What do you mean?" Tang Rao was somewhat surprised.

Something off about Bai Ze? He had not really noticed anything. He wondered what aspect Fang Jinxiu was referring to.

"I'm not sure if my intuition is correct, but Bai Ze... seems like... seems like he's not a man." Fang Jinxiu said.

Pfft!

Tang Rao almost sprayed out a mouthful of old blood. What? Not a man? You must be joking with me, how could Bai Ze possibly not be a man!

There were no female characteristics on him whatsoever, and Tang Rao had nearly touched his entire body when setting seals on him; Bai Ze was definitely an actual man.

"Maybe his body is male, but his soul is female! I don't know why I feel this way, but I just perceive that he is a woman, or maybe my senses are messed up." Fang Jinxiu shook her head.

Tang Rao looked at Fang Jinxiu and fell silent.

Although Fang Jinxiu was mischievous, she had no reason to spout nonsense about such matters. It wouldn't benefit her at all.

"Don't discuss this with anyone, especially don't mention it to Bai Ze, and certainly don't show any signs that something is off. You should know, Bai Ze's strength far surpasses mine. With a flip of his hand, he could completely destroy the Moon along with Blue Star." Tang Rao said.

Indeed, if Bai Ze were to disregard everything, he truly had that capability.

After all, Tang Rao had not forbidden him from going to Blue Star.

"Alright, I got it." Fang Jinxiu nodded.

...

As evening came, Tang Rao left the Moon alone and went to the Seventy-two Domains of the Nine Realms.

To find Dong Xia.

The war between Soul Capture Pavilion and Central Emperor Realm was still ongoing, and up to this point, countless cultivators had perished. However, such casualties were insignificant compared to the realms' populations, often in the hundreds of billions or even trillions.

In fact, Tang Rao didn't know where to start looking for Dong Xia; it seemed like she was always the one finding him.

"It seems I still understand too little about you." Tang Rao murmured, feeling that the more he wanted to understand Dong Xia, the more mysterious she appeared.

Clearly, Dong Xia was hiding far too much from him.

So much so that Tang Rao felt like he had been a fool in the past.

Every step seemed to be within his calculations, but it might well be that all this was just his wishful thinking. Perhaps everything he did was playing right into a scheme laid out by Dong Xia.

"Damn it..." Tang Rao cursed under his breath, wandering aimlessly on the Prime King Star.

Prime King Star had become the main battlefield between Soul Capture Pavilion and Central Emperor Realm, with battles occurring almost constantly, and, naturally, waves of cultivators dying.

But Tang Rao had little interest in this.

The winner of this war was doomed not to be Soul Capture Pavilion nor Central Emperor Realm, but a few individuals within them.

Whether it was Judge Cui Baiyi who was driving this war or Tang Rao himself, or some other people, their aim was to seize what they needed through the warfare.

The cost was the fall of countless cultivators.

In the Nine Realms and Seventy-two Domains, such things are happening almost all the time. It's just that the conflict between Soul Capture Pavilion and Central Emperor Realm is a particularly big one.

"Bro, you're finally here, my heavens, this place is terrifying, I was almost killed!" Zhou Shengdian appeared before Tang Rao, looking incredibly dirty, as if covered in mud and reeking.

"Did you fall into a cesspool?" Tang Rao stepped away from Zhou Shengdian, unable to bear the stench.

Zhou Shengdian blinked twice, then lifted his arm and sniffed himself all over.

"Bro, I'm still alright, not that ugly," Zhou Shengdian said.

Tang Rao: "..."

"Your strength isn't much to speak of, but your will to survive is truly remarkable," Tang Rao gave Zhou Shengdian a long look.

As far as he knew, Zhou Shengdian had always been active on Blue Star recently. Blue Star was the main battlefield of the conflict, home to many experts and powerful figures.

Although Zhou Shengdian had reached the Spirit Severing Stage, compared to the others, he was still pretty weak.

Nowadays on Blue Star, strolling down any road, one could encounter a group of Cultivators at the Body Integration Realm, and a lot of Mahayana Realm, even Transcendence Tribulation Stage Cultivators could often be seen.

Therefore, the fact that Zhou Shengdian was alive and well was all the more miraculous.

"Heh heh, bro, actually, I should thank you for this. I thought, if I died, I wouldn't be able to serve you anymore. The moment I thought of that, it was as if endless strength burst out from within me, sustaining me to keep living, to make sure I survive. So, I've hung on until now," Zhou Shengdian rattled on.

Regarding Zhou Shengdian's words, Tang Rao directly skipped ninety percent of them.

Yeah right, like hell I believe you.

"Then, did you get any useful information?" Tang Rao asked.

"About that, I was too busy scheming for my own little life, didn't really make a point to gather any information," Zhou Shengdian replied.

"You know about Cui Baiyi, right?" Tang Rao asked.

"That, of course I know, Judge Cui, quite formidable," Zhou Shengdian said.

"Do you know where Cui Baiyi is?" Tang Rao continued.

"Big bro, how about we go have a drink? I haven't had a proper meal in so long, you don't know, Central Emperor Realm is just too dangerous right now. Thankfully you're here, with you around, I can definitely have a meal in peace," Zhou Shengdian said.

"I'm asking you, do you know where Cui Baiyi is!" Tang Rao's eyes turned cold.

He didn't want to play these boring games with Zhou Shengdian, this guy has always pretended to be confused while knowing exactly what he's doing.

Zhou Shengdian definitely had secrets.

It wasn't that Tang Rao liked prying into others' privacies, but he really didn't like having someone so inscrutable around him, it felt very dangerous.

He had always had a great lack of sense of security before, and unexpectedly, even after being reincarnated, that feeling still closely followed him.

It seemed to have gotten even worse.

"I... might know something..."

"Bang!" Tang Rao's right hand shot out, directly seizing Zhou Shengdian's throat, his gaze terrifying, "I'm telling you, Zhou Shengdian, I have no interest in playing those dumb games with you, speak!"

Zhou Shengdian's eyes slightly glazed over, his hands grasping Tang Rao's arm, his face color turning from red to black.

However, he didn't say a word, just staring stubbornly at Tang Rao.

Before long, Zhou Shengdian's body began to convulse, the Spiritual Energy released from Tang Rao's hand now threatening his life.

"Do you freaking not want to live anymore!" Tang Rao violently tossed Zhou Shengdian aside, if he had been two seconds later, Zhou Shengdian might have truly been done for.
