"oh?"

Bingqing's eyes flickered, and she asked calmly, "What does she look like?"

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen immediately used his divine sense to draw Ning Yao's appearance in front of Bing Qing.

"It was her!"

Bing Qing was stunned for a moment, then sneered. "This woman is the Empress Ning Yao!"

"What?"

Mu Chen was shocked. "It's...it's her! She's at the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm. No wonder I couldn't see through her cultivation."

Bing Qing glanced at Mu Chen and chuckled. "She's no longer at the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm, but at the early stage of the Ancient Emperor Realm!"

"What?" Mu Chen stared in disbelief, dumbfounded. "How...how could she possibly have broken through to the Ancient Emperor Realm?"

"Isn't it impossible for an Ancient Emperor to appear in the Celestial Realm?"

Bing Qing looked at him with disdain. "Who told you that ancient emperors can't appear in the Heavenly Realm?"

"The Celestial Realm is actually infinitely close to a higher realm. Not to mention the Ancient Emperor Realm, even the Ancestral Emperor Realm is possible!"

"However, such an opportunity is rare, and some people never get it in their entire lives!"

Mu Chen was shocked; Bing Qing's words broadened his horizons.

Before this, he had always thought that the peak of the Heavenly Emperor Realm was the limit that cultivators in the Heavenly Realm could reach.

"Oh, right!" Bingqing suddenly remembered something, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Is there a human with Ning Yao?"

Mu Chen took a deep breath, suppressing his shock, and nodded. "There is indeed a human!"

"But that person gave me the feeling of being an ordinary person, so I simply ignored him at the time."

"An ordinary person?" Bing Qing sneered. "Do you know who he is?"

"He is the famous human Qin Feng, who is now Ning Yao's master!"

"He single-handedly killed a puppet at the peak of the Ancient Emperor realm some time ago!"

"Ice Soul's three clones have been destroyed!"

"You call someone like that an ordinary person? How incredibly stupid must you be to say such a thing?"

Mu Chen's expression froze, his pupils dilated. "Wh...what? I...I..."

Mu Chen stammered, feeling as if he had just walked through the gates of hell.

Cold sweat poured down his forehead, and his body involuntarily shivered.

Bing Qing glanced at Mu Chen and smiled. "But don't worry, as long as I activate the demonic seeds within you, Qin Feng and Ning Yao are nothing."

Upon hearing this, Mu Chen frowned slightly. He naturally knew what benefits would come from activating the demonic seed.

Their strength will increase dramatically, but they will be reduced to demons.

Moreover, they were among the lowest-ranking members of the demon race, or to put it bluntly, demon slaves.

"What? You don't mean you want to back out, do you?"

Bing Qing looked at Mu Chen with a forced smile, her killing intent completely undisguised.

Mu Chen's expression changed slightly, and he quickly denied it. "Absolutely not!"

"That's good!" Bingqing said teasingly. "If you had changed your mind, I would have erased your consciousness and turned you into a puppet without any independent will!"

Mu Chen felt incredibly bitter. From the moment Bing Qing planted the demonic seed in him, he had no choice or right to regret it.

"Lord Bingqing, how could I possibly go back on my word?"

"I will swear allegiance to you, even to the death!"

Bing Qing glanced at Mu Chen and said seriously, "I will activate your demonic seed and draw demonic energy from the Demon Realm to empower you, helping you advance to the mid-to-late stage of the Ancient Emperor Realm!"

"Summon all your men here. I'll help them awaken their demonic seeds and guide them to receive demonic energy!"

Mu Chen nodded and immediately took out his communication artifact to contact his subordinates who had been implanted with demonic seeds.

...

Black Phoenix Mountain to the east of Wushuang City.

The other city lord of Wushuang City, Yao Yue, a member of the demon race, stood atop Black Phoenix Mountain, her expression shifting between light and shadow as she gazed towards the city lord's mansion.

She sensed Bingqing's appearance the moment she appeared.

She was unaware that Mu Chen had been implanted with a demonic seed by Bing Qing, but she had discovered a long time ago that Mu Chen had a connection with the demon race.

It was around that time that she left the city lord's mansion and, with a few of her trusted demon clan subordinates, arrived at Black Phoenix Mountain.

"What exactly are Mu Chen and the Demon Clan plotting?"

Yao Yue muttered something to herself, then took out a communication artifact to contact several trusted confidants, asking them to come see her.

Soon after, four men and three women arrived.

Yao Yue didn't waste any words and asked directly, "How's the investigation I asked you to do going?"

One of the women, a voluptuous woman with a captivating figure and alluring demeanor, replied.

"There has been no progress so far!"

"Mu Chen's men are all too wary; we have no way to make a move!"

"I suspect they must have received instructions from Mu Chen to be on guard against our demon race."

Yao Yue frowned slightly and said coldly, "What use are you? You can't even do this little thing right?"

"Can't you just arrest someone and search their soul?"

Don't tell me there's no chance!

The alluring woman smiled bitterly. "There really is no chance!"

"It's difficult to make a move inside the city, and they usually have six or seven people outside the city, so it's equally difficult to make a move there!"

Yao Yue's brows furrowed, her expression shifting between light and shadow. "So wary?"

"It seems that Mu Chen and the Demon Clan have a grand scheme!"

“Oh, right!” the alluring woman said, her eyes sparkling. “Not long ago, a couple from beyond the Asura Sea…”

"One is a god, the other is a human!"

"That goddess killed a Celestial King in the street. Later, Mu Chen disguised himself and made a move, but in the end, he left in a sorry state!"

"The couple has already left Wushuang City!"

Yao Yue looked surprised. "Mu Chen actually chickened out?"

"It seems that the couple must be someone important!"

The alluring woman nodded. "Indeed!"

Yao Yue pondered for a moment, then asked, "Which direction did they go?"

The alluring woman pointed south. "This way!"

Yao Yue's eyes flickered as she looked south. "Come with me and meet them!"

...

Qin Feng and Ning Yao had just arrived at the agreed location when the informant from the Myriad Realms Chamber of Commerce arrived.

The informant was a young man, but he looked much older than his age; he was probably at least several hundred!

"Qi Feng greets the President!"

Qi Feng bowed deeply to Qin Feng with a respectful expression.

Qin Feng smiled and said, "No need for such formalities!"

"I've called you here because I have something to ask you: who was the person who saw my wife and children heading to the Outer Heavens?"

This message was passed on to Li Qingyuan by Qi Feng, but Qi Feng was not the one who saw Liu Ruyan and her son heading to Tianwaitian.

Qi Feng replied, "It's the Immortal Poisonous Bee from Shura City!"

"Shura City is the royal city of the Shura clan; outsiders are forbidden from entering!"

"The only way to get into the city is by force, so I suggest we send out the Poison Bees!"

Qin Feng nodded. "I'll consider it!"

"By the way, tell me about the overall situation of the Asura Sea!"

"How many more Heavenly Emperor Realm cultivators are there?"

Qi Feng nodded and immediately began to speak.

Besides the Asura race, there are other races in the Asura Sea.

Humans, gods, demons, yakshas, ​​and so on, but the Asura race has always held the dominant position in the Asura Sea.
