At this moment, Demon Lord Jiu Yue was also leaving the inner palace of the court, preparing to go to the sleeping quarters of Chaoyang Palace to spend his wedding night with the little bandit girl.

As for the banquet in the Imperial Garden, let that puppet Shang Dongyang handle it.

But as soon as he entered the inner hall, Xiao Jianzi came to report, saying, "Your Majesty, that good-for-nothing Shang Dongyang has disappeared."

"When did you disappear?" Jiu Yue frowned slightly.

He had just finished his coronation ceremony with his beloved daughter, and now all that was left was to consummate their marriage. He didn't want anything to go wrong at this crucial moment.

"After the ancestral worship ceremony," Xiao Shunzi said confidently, "originally, we were going to have him stay at the Hibiscus Palace, but after he entered the Hibiscus Palace, no one has seen him since. Your Majesty, I think that the Ninth Prince most likely went to the palace. This must have been done by the Ninth Prince."

“They rescued Ji Fengxiao, so they must be looking for Ji Fenghua.” Jiu Yue’s face was gloomy. After a moment of silence, he said, “Gather everyone in Chaoyang Palace. No matter what, we must buy myself two hours. If necessary, have Meng Qi use Ji Fenghua to lure them out of the palace. After I have married the Demon Queen, I will deal with them personally.”

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Little Cocoon accepted the order with his hands behind his back.

Xiao Shunzi, who had always followed the "Emperor," listened in utter disbelief.

Isn't this the eunuch serving the Third Prince?

What are the Emperor and the Third Prince's eunuchs talking about? He can't understand a word they're saying.

Jiu Yue took two steps, then turned back and peeled off his human skin mask. He said to Xiao Shunzi, "Go and gather a few trusted eunuchs and search all over the palace for that good-for-nothing emperor. See where the Ninth Prince has thrown him. If he's dead, just dump him in a dry well. If he's still alive, make him hurry to the Imperial Garden to deal with his ministers. After today, this world will still be his."

"Three, three..." Xiao Shunzi's face contorted in shock, his soul nearly leaving his body. But before he could finish saying "three," Jiu Yue calmly and confidently left the court, his figure quickly disappearing from Xiao Shunzi's sight.

Little Cocoon followed Jiu Yue out of the court.

As soon as he stepped outside, he took out a bone whistle and blew out a sharp and eerie sound.

Upon hearing the whistle, almost all the demonic cultivators in the palace converged on Chaoyang Hall.

At this moment, Shang Xiye, Ji Fengming, Hei Xiao, and Ji Fengyao entered the Chaoyang Palace bedchamber one after the other.

Upon hearing the bone whistle, the men's expressions immediately changed:

"Oh no, they're gathering people to head towards Chaoyang Palace!" Ji Fengyao had seen the bone whistle with Lin Shuang and knew what it was.

"Could they have already discovered us?" Even though Black Owl had never seen them, he had guessed it.

“The Heaven-Covering Stone on our bodies can even conceal the secrets of heaven. We are keeping a low profile and have disguised ourselves, so it is unlikely that they will find us.” Shang Xiye looked down at his wife and said in a deep voice, “It should be that the great demon has transferred everyone here to ensure that his marriage with Yao Yao does not go wrong. If nothing unexpected happens, he should also arrange for someone to bring Feng Hua out as a hostage at the critical moment.”

"Shameless! He even dared to lay a finger on my sister! I'll curse him out! If you ask me, we should have come straight for him from the beginning. The four of us should have gone through our tribulations together, unleashing our full power and blasting him to death!" Ji Fengming violently waved his fists, cursing through gritted teeth.

Even without the affair between Black Owl and the Ji family, he didn't really have any good feelings towards these demons.

Some hatreds seem to be etched into one's bones and are innate.

Once peeled, it will take root and sprout without watering, and slowly grow into a towering tree.
