"You actually figured it out?!"

A look of surprise appeared on Ye Chen's face.

But then he gave a strange smile.

"Indeed, I am not Ye Chen, and you cannot catch me!"

His figure slowly disappeared from Gu Jian's sight, then transformed into a strange spatial fluctuation and fled into the distance.

"You think you can leave? No way!"

Mo Qiao snorted coldly, his powerful divine sense locking onto the figure of "Ye Chen".

Azure energy appeared in her palm, the ultimate water attribute and chaotic power condensed together, and she threw it towards the phantom in the air.

boom!

Aww!

With a scream, "Ye Chen's" figure was blasted out.

However, both Gu Jian and Mo Qiao showed expressions of surprise.

The reason was that the figure that was struck out was jet black.

Then, it splattered on the ground like black mud.

A moment later, the black mud seemed to come alive as it merged and reformed, transforming into the shape of a large black dog, which collapsed to the ground and howled in pain.

"Master, why has Ye Chen turned into a dog?!"

Rabbit Xiaowu let out a surprised sound.

Feng Yantong, sporting a pig's head, was also puzzled.

Gu Jian shook his head, looked at the wailing black dog, and asked, "What are you?"

The big black dog howled, "What? What? I'm not a thing... No, I am a thing..."

At this point, the big black dog paused for a moment, then seemed to break down. With a howl, it got up from the ground and continued to say to Gu Jian, "Can you please not ask such questions? I can't answer you. Such questions make me look very low-class."

Gu Jian asked, "Then tell me, where did Ye Chen go?"

"Oh, well, I can't answer that either."

The King of Demons cried out again; how could he betray his master?

Feng Yantong frowned and transmitted her voice to Gu Jian: "Jian'er, Ye Chen should have gone to another fork in the road. Quickly contact that Hua Sao, maybe we can catch up with him."

Flowery?

Gu Jian was taken aback, and after thinking for a moment, he realized that the "flowery beauty" Feng Yantong mentioned was actually the peony.

I don't know why Feng Yantong calls her that.

However, now is clearly not the time to think about these things.

Thinking this, the real Ye Chen headed towards another fork in the road.

Gu Jian immediately took out his identity token, which belonged to the martial arts champion of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, and contacted Hua Mudan.

A moment later, he put the token away again.

Feng Yantong immediately turned to Gu Jian and asked, "What did she say?"

Gu Jian said, "She hasn't caught up yet, but she can sense that the other party seems to have entered the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel."

Feng Yantong said angrily, "It's all because of this big black dog that we chased in the wrong direction. We have to hurry, we can't let him get away."

Along the way, Feng Yantong secretly recorded a lot of information using the audio-visual jade slip.

She would show all this information to his mentally challenged junior sister.

But it would be even better if Ye Chen could be killed on the spot.

"Okay, let's go!"

Gu Jian nodded and, with Feng Yantong in tow, headed towards the direction where Hua Mudan was.

As for the big black dog that refused to reveal Ye Chen's whereabouts, Gu Jian also ordered the demon army to capture it.

Gu Jian moved incredibly fast.

A quarter of an hour later, Gu Jian stepped onto the ninth floor of the Tower of Babel.

He caught up with Hua Mudan.

Peony is leading her demon army in a fierce battle against the beings of the Tower of Babel who are blocking her way.

"That guy is still up ahead."

When Hua Mudan opened her mouth, she felt both depressed and embarrassed.

The Flower Demon Commander of the mighty Demon Kingdom couldn't even catch up with Ye Chen.

Gu Jian nodded, ordered Mo Qiao to bombard the Tower of Babel creatures blocking their way, and then quickly gave chase.

They walked for about another fifteen minutes.

Gu Jian scanned the area with his divine sense and spotted a figure.

The figure then leaped onto an altar.

The altar looked like a teleportation array, and he seemed to be about to activate it.

"Ye Chen is just ahead. He's trying to leave, but Mo Qiao is stopping him."

Gu Jian spoke coldly and quickened his pace.

"Yes, Master!"

Mo Qiao's figure flashed and he immediately flew away.

Along the way, there were still many creatures from the Tower of Babel, but they were all destroyed by Mo Qiao.

Finally, Mo Qiao saw Ye Chen.

"Where do you think you're going!"

Mo Qiao spoke, his voice sorrowful yet filled with murderous intent.

The terrifying killing intent made Ye Chen turn pale, and he almost fell to the ground.

However, he still activated the teleportation array as quickly as possible, causing it to glow.

"I'm leaving, and nobody can stop me!"

Ye Chen spoke harshly, his heart pounding wildly, his eyes filled with worry and fear.

Mo Qiao's eyes turned cold, and he struck out with a palm, unleashing a chaotic spell.

boom!

The altar shook violently.

Mo Qiao's power pierced through the altar's light barrier and struck Ye Chen.

ah!

puff!

Ye Chen coughed up blood as his back slammed against the edge of the altar.

It made a cracking sound.

The pain terrified Ye Chen.

The next instant, the swaying altar emitted an even more intense light.

There are spatial laws governing fluctuations.

The altar is collapsing after being damaged.

Then, with a loud bang, the altar exploded...

When Gu Jian and his men caught up with Mo Qiao and arrived at the ruins of the altar...

Ye Chen was nowhere to be seen.

However, there was blood in the ruins, left by Ye Chen.

"Is that guy dead?"

Feng Yantong, sporting a pig's head, spoke.

Just now, she used her divine sense to see the altar explode.

As for whether Ye Chen was killed in the explosion, she wasn't sure.
