Seeing Wu Liang standing there in a daze, the Demon Emperor coldly said, "Don't tell me you can't find the entrance?"

"I can find it, I can find it," Wu Liang replied hastily, as if waking from a dream.

Actually, although he had some guesses, he wasn't entirely sure. But at this point, even if he wasn't sure, he had to be sure.

So he took out a compass and started calculating with his fingers, observing as he led the way.

The Demon Emperor signaled the rest of the people to follow. As for the three women, Yan, Yun, and Yu, he did not place any restrictions on them. They were all seriously injured at the moment, and in front of him, an Earth Immortal, it made no difference whether he placed restrictions on them or not.

On the contrary, he couldn't quite figure out Zuan. Although he had defeated the Crown Prince several times before, the Crown Prince was the Crown Prince, and he was him.

Although Zu An's cultivation level wasn't high, he vaguely sensed a threat emanating from the other party. He didn't understand why a newly-entered Grandmaster-level Heroic Soul Realm cultivator would pose a threat to him, a Earth Immortal. However, he wasn't the type to be careless, so he casually planted a puppet curse on the other party to ensure that nothing went wrong.

At this moment, the three women huddled around Zu An, their faces filled with worry, and whispered, "What should we do?"

Zuan glanced at the Demon Emperor's retreating figure and said, "Just follow him to the unknown land."

The girls were somewhat surprised by his composure. They saw no hope in the current situation and were feeling anxious, but they were infected by his calmness and gradually calmed down.

Even Yun Jianyue was somewhat impressed by him. He was truly a rare hero in the world, and the man chosen by Hong Lei was indeed outstanding.

Yan Xuehen looked at Zu An with a somewhat absent-minded expression. She didn't know what she was thinking about, but suddenly her face flushed slightly, and she quickly looked away.

At this moment, the Demon Emperor's voice came: "Sect Leader Yun, I heard that you fought with Zhao Hao some time ago? Are the injuries on your body from that time?"

Even though Yun Jianyue was usually arrogant and often boasted in front of Yan Xuehen, her face flushed slightly when asked by a true Earth Immortal: "Talking about fighting is too self-important. Zhao Hao didn't even show his face at the time; he injured me with a single move from a distance..."

As for how she got injured, she didn't bother to explain, letting him misunderstand that she was injured by Zhao Hao.

Prince Jinwu secretly curled his lip. This so-called leader of the Demonic Sect sounded so powerful, but it turned out to be such a weakling.

Wu Liang, who was scouting ahead, clicked his tongue in amazement, thinking to himself that it was no wonder he had always thought this woman was somewhat fierce; it turned out she had such an experience. He admired Zu An even more.

"To be able to survive Zhao Hao's attack, Master Yun's cultivation is something to be proud of." The Demon Emperor did not show disdain; on the contrary, his tone was full of praise.

Crown Prince Jinwu was somewhat dismissive. He couldn't even withstand a single move, so what was there to brag about? He took it as just empty words from his father.

Over the years, he has been hailed as the number one young demon in the demon race, with his cultivation level approaching that of the previous generation of masters. In addition, he is recognized as the next generation of demon emperor, so his ambition is exceptionally high. Apart from suffering a few major losses at the hands of Zu'an, he has enough confidence when facing others.

Next, the Demon Emperor began to question Yun Jianyue about the details of that battle. Yun Jianyue frowned slightly, knowing that he wanted to take the opportunity to find out Zhao Hao's current strength.

I originally wanted to make up some things to avoid leaking information, but then I thought that this might not be able to fool the immortal, and what reason did that dog emperor have for me to show favoritism?

So he described the situation in detail.

The Demon Emperor listened very carefully, even interrupting her to ask about some details. After listening, he remained silent for a long time before sighing, "It's been many years, and Zhao Hao's cultivation has improved quite a bit."

The Golden Crow Prince was startled. Why did his father's tone sound like he was boosting the morale of others while diminishing his own? Did he think he couldn't defeat the human emperor?

At this moment, the Demon Emperor sighed deeply: "It's a pity that I don't live long enough. I'm afraid I won't have the chance to fight Zhao Hao again in this lifetime."

His tone was full of the feeling of a hero in his twilight years.

Although they were on opposing sides, Yan Xuehen and Yun Jianyue, as Grandmasters, could well understand that feeling of loneliness.

"Father is in the prime of his life and will surely live a long and healthy life," the demon prince hurriedly flattered.

"Do you really want me to live a long and healthy life?" The Demon Emperor gave him a half-smile.

Crown Prince Jinwu was startled: "Father, what are you saying? You have been so kind to me, I would naturally wish for you to live as long as possible."

The Demon Emperor remained silent. Since ancient times, the relationship between the emperor and the crown prince has been one of father and son, ruler and subject, and also a competitive one.

Ensuring that the crown prince has the ability and a capable team to take over the country, while also preventing him from threatening the throne prematurely, is an enormous challenge.

Therefore, the relationship between emperors and crown princes in different dynasties was not always very good.

However, there were some exceptions between him and the Crown Prince. Firstly, his cultivation was too high, and the Crown Prince was always very respectful. Secondly, he was old, and the days of the five signs of decay for a celestial being were coming soon, so the father and son did not need to scheme against each other so much.

But if he were to obtain the secret to immortality in some unknown place, the relationship between father and son would certainly not be the same as before.

Crown Prince Jinwu was also uneasy. This unknown land might not hold the secret to immortality. If he offended his father now, it would be a huge loss if he had to pass the throne to his second brother. The atmosphere was somewhat tense, but fortunately, Wu Liang's voice came at this moment: "We...we've found the entrance."

The group had now arrived at a pond or lake.

“It should be underwater.” Seeing the Demon Emperor frown, Wu Liang quickly added.

Zuan asked doubtfully, "Are you sure this is the place? We just checked underwater."
