"The young lady asked me to hold off that demon. Later, he ran into the empty shadow box, so I followed him in."

Yu Shiqie truthfully replied, "When I returned, I could no longer find Miss."

"This is terrible! This is the realm of gods, unlike the mortal realm. It's extremely dangerous!"

The middle-aged man in the yellow jacket said anxiously, "This old servant has always been by Miss's side. Now that Miss is all alone, what will happen if something happens to her!"

"No rush, with her here, Yin'er won't get lost."

What did the girl do to Yu Shi Qie before the Night King? The two of them are now connected, so it won't be difficult to find her.

"Yes, yes, you see, this old servant was so concerned that he forgot for a moment."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket finally let out a deep breath. "But Your Highness, the evil spirit who led us has also disappeared. How are we supposed to see the Demon God now?"

"Where did it disappear to?"

At this moment, Protector Litang said, "He should have run into the Nine Netherworld to temporarily avoid being hunted down. Wait a while, and he will come out if he feels there is no danger. After all, he still has a mission to complete."

"Alright then, take her to find Yin'er."

Having obtained the location of the Empty Shadow Box from Yu Shi Qie, Ye Wang said to the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket, "It would be inconvenient for her to follow us; she would be easily exposed."

"yes."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket immediately knelt down and assured him, "I'm at ease. This old servant will definitely bring Miss back safely."

"Finally, otherwise, you should know the consequences."

Actually, the Night King was somewhat resentful of the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket for neglecting his duty and not staying by the girl's side the whole time. However, considering that finding someone wouldn't be difficult and that the man was indeed his most trusted confidant who had been by his side the longest, he decided to let it go.

"This old servant understands."

The middle-aged man in the yellow jacket kowtowed three times in a state of fear and trepidation, and then immediately left with Yu Shiqie and Xiong Yujie.

Just as Protector Litang had predicted, Ye Lin emerged from the Void Box after half a day.

"Greetings, Your Excellency Protector."

Upon emerging and seeing Protector Litang, Ye Lin immediately knelt down and apologized, saying, "I was just being chased by an ancient god and only managed to escape with my life. I have kept you waiting, Protector. Please punish me."

"You were being hunted by the ancient gods, and I was unable to help you in time. It's a miracle you returned safely. How can you talk about punishment?"

Protector Litang said calmly, "Get up. It's important to hurry on our way and not keep His Majesty waiting."

"yes."

Ye Lin said no more and immediately continued to lead the way.

Finally, the coffins containing the young girl and the middle-aged man in the yellow jacket disappeared. Those things were outside Ye Lin's scope of concern; he always only did what was within his duty.

After traveling for about three more days, the group finally arrived at the place where the demon god was temporarily staying.

Upon arriving at their destination, to prevent revealing any flaws, the Night King instructed Protector Litang and Ye Lin to go see Ming Huashang first.

As for whether the identity of the Protector of the Power Hall will be exposed, the Night King is not worried at all.

Because, apart from having an extra drop of zombie king's blood, nothing else about him had changed.

Inside the palace, Ming Huashang, dressed in a long black robe, sat at his desk, quietly looking at the painting in front of him.

The scroll contained three images: one of Li Qingyi in white, one of Jun Feijue in black, and the last one of Jun Feijue as a child.

He has been gazing at the painting like this for several days.
