The Supreme Sea Palace, under the night sky.
“What did you say? Yun Che is back?” This news shocked Poseidon Qu Fengyi.
She had previously noticed the unusual movement of the Moon-Slaying Demon Cave's barrier and sent people to investigate quickly. Unexpectedly, she received such surprising news.
“Yun Che came back with Xia Yuanba from the Holy Land and Princess Xue from the Phoenix Sect. He is currently in the Grand Cloud Palace. Many people have noticed his return. Although no one has come forward, the news will surely spread soon.”
In front of the Sea Emperor, an elder of the Sea Palace dressed in a green robe said respectfully.
“…” The Sea Emperor Qu Fengyi was silent for a while, and whispered: “This Emperor personally summoned Yun Che a few days ago. With his ability, it is absolutely impossible for him to survive in the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave for more than three days, let alone escape from it… From this point of view, the fact that his master is Elder Duotian is more likely to be true.”
"Lord Sea Emperor, this matter involves our Sea Emperor Forbidden Land. Do you need to bring him to see the Sea Emperor immediately?"
“No!” Poseidon Qu Fengyi rejected the suggestion directly, saying calmly, “Although I really want to know how he escaped from the Moon-Slaying Demon Cave, the Demon Sword Conference is approaching and we cannot allow any more trouble. Let’s talk about this matter after the Demon Sword Conference.”
At the same time, in another place in the Supreme Ocean Palace.
“Father, I have something important to report… Yun Che is back! He is now in the Grand Master Yun Palace, I saw it with my own eyes!”
“Oh?” Xuanyuan Wentian, who was resting with his eyes closed, opened his eyes and tilted his head slightly. There was no surprise on his face. He smiled faintly, “That couldn’t be better. I was originally regretful that there would be no big show at tomorrow’s Devil Sword Conference. This way, this regret is fulfilled.”
“Father, aren’t you curious about how he got out of the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave?” Xuanyuan asked with a puzzled look on his face: “More than forty hours have passed since he entered the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave, and he was able to come out alive!? Moreover, even father was helpless against that barrier, but he was able to…”
“No need.” Xuanyuan Wentian said in a deep voice: “In five hours, the Devil Sword Conference will be held. Your father has waited and prepared for this day for a thousand years. At this final moment, there can be no room for error! No matter how big the matter is, we have to put it aside!”
“Yes, I was anxious and reckless.” Xuanyuan asked and bowed his head quickly, then asked carefully: “Do we need to send someone to keep an eye on Yun Che?”
“No need!” Xuanyuan Wentian frowned slightly, his eyes were calm as water, but deep inside they were emitting a chilling cold light: “On the contrary, don’t let him notice anything unusual, and let him safely participate in tomorrow’s Devil Sword Conference. If the Devil Sword Conference is without him… humph, it will be much more boring!”
“Yes!” Xuanyuan asked and answered quickly, then sneered: “Yun Che would never have dreamed that his background has been known to father for a long time! After the magic sword is unsealed, the Samsara Mirror will sooner or later be in father’s pocket.”

"When did it happen? Did anyone else get into trouble? Do you know who did it?"
Yun Che transmitted the message anxiously, and soon, Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul sent a reply.
Three days ago...it's already been three days! ?
Yun Che, who had originally wanted to concentrate on healing his wounds, could no longer sit still. For a moment, he was extremely anxious… Xiao Yun had disappeared three days ago, right after he had entered the Moon Slaughter Devil Cave!
"Jasmine, we..."
As soon as he said this, Yun Che suddenly realized... Jasmine had already started to reshape her body, and she must not be disturbed in any way! He couldn't even discuss it with her.
Moreover, he couldn’t leave Jasmine for more than twenty miles… and therefore couldn’t return to Floating Cloud City right away!
Yun Che took a deep breath and calmed himself down quickly.
What happened? Why did Xiao Yun disappear?
No one was found alive, no body was found dead, no abnormal sounds were heard when the incident happened, and there was no sign of a fight. With the strength of Xiao Yun and the number one in the world, Xiao Yun had no power to resist, and the number one in the world was unaware of anything. The opponent must be at the level of an emperor! !
Looking at the entire Profound Sky Continent, apart from the Four Sacred Places, there is only the Phoenix Divine Sect that has an emperor... and Fen Juechen. With Fen Juechen's personality, he would never do such a thing, and the Phoenix Divine Sect has no reason to do it either, so there are only the Four Sacred Places left!
But why did the four holy places take action against Xiao Yun?
Could it be that the Sun Moon Divine Palace saw through the "Old Man Who Stole the Sky" that I fabricated because of some chance, and took revenge on me by capturing Xiao Yun and threatening me?
No! If that were the case, with the strength of the Sun Moon Palace, it would be easy to deal with me after exposing my "disguise", and there would be no need to do anything unnecessary. Even if they really wanted to catch someone to disgust me, it would be more appropriate for my grandfather or my aunt, and it shouldn't be Xiao Yun anyway.
Oh right...why is it Xiao Yun!?
Yun Che’s brows gradually sank. As he calmed down, he felt the seriousness of the situation even more.
Could it be that Xiao Yun’s identity... has been exposed?
No... there is no reason! Among Xiao Yun, No. 1 Under Heaven, and No. 7 Under Heaven, No. 1 Under Heaven and No. 7 Under Heaven have the characteristics of the elves, so although their disguises are perfect, there may be some risks of revealing flaws. Compared with them, Xiao Yun should not be recognized as coming from the Illusory Demon Realm!
Since he had a completely unfamiliar face, how could anyone recognize that he was from the Fantasy Demon Realm?
Besides, Xiao Yun was cautious by nature, and he hardly even used his profound strength when he was in Floating Cloud City.
They had traveled to and from Floating Cloud City so many times in the past few months, and they had never noticed any signs of being spied on or noticed... They had only occasionally spotted Fen Juechen's presence a few times.
“Could it be that…” A most terrifying possibility, one that also had the most serious consequences, appeared in Yun Che’s mind: “In the Illusory Demon Realm, there are people from the Four Sacred Grounds…”
Yun Che's chest rose and fell, and he took a long breath. Then he raised his right arm and summoned the Frozen Cloud Immortal Soul.
“Master Murong, find a way to tell my aunt and the others that Xiao Yun is safe and sound. I already know roughly where he is and will take him back tomorrow. Let them rest assured. Also…” Yun Che paused briefly and his voice became heavy: “Tell my grandfather, my aunt, and my seventh sister to gather in my grandfather’s courtyard after noon tomorrow. Don’t leave until I show up.”
A blue light flashed, and his voice had been transmitted to Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace hundreds of thousands of miles away. Yun Che looked at the isolation barrier built by Jasmine, and muttered in a depressed tone: "Why did it have to be at this time, huh..."
"It seems that I will have to attend the Demon Sword Conference tomorrow even if I don't want to!"
"I was too careless. I actually overlooked that since the Four Sacred Grounds had a way to break into the Demon King City, they naturally had a way to secretly plant people there... not to mention that there was also the Ming Wang as an insider!"
"Now we can only hope that the matter of the Primordial Profound Ark has not been exposed. Otherwise..."
——————————————
The night faded away and the sky gradually brightened.
The Supreme Ocean Palace, which had been silent all night, was still exceptionally quiet. However, an abnormally strong mysterious energy was stirring above the Ocean Palace, as if foreshadowing that something big was about to happen.
This surge of profound energy also woke Yun Che from his trance. He slowly opened his eyes and then exhaled slightly.
Last night, he just wanted to recover as much as possible from his injuries and condition. But things did not go as he wished. Because Jasmine left and the matter behind Xiao Yun's disappearance was too serious, he was a little uneasy the whole night, and his recovery from injuries was slower than usual.
In the corner of the palace, behind the screen, Jasmine's barrier was still silent. In the past seven years, every time he encountered a major event, he would discuss it with Jasmine. This was the first time that Jasmine was not around, and his heart was filled with a sense of emptiness that was far beyond his expectations... He even felt a little lost.
He stood up, pushed the door open, and walked out of the palace. He immediately saw Feng Xue'er and Xia Yuanba who had been waiting outside.
“Brother Yun, are you feeling better now?” Feng Xue’er came over like a flying flower and asked with concern.
“Yeah, much better.” Yun Che glanced around, only to find that the entire hall was empty, without any other human presence. He immediately asked, “Have your master and the others gone to the Devil Sword Conference?”
“Yes!” Xia Yuanba nodded. “Master and the others left half an hour ago. Master wanted to come and visit my brother-in-law, and other real people and elders also wanted to see my brother-in-law, but I told them that you were injured and needed to heal in peace, so they didn’t force it.”
“Half an hour ago? How long until the Devil Sword Conference begins?” Yun Che raised his brows and asked.
“Less than half an hour left…Brother-in-law, you look a little strange. Did something happen?” Xia Yuanba observed his expression and asked.
“…Let’s go, let’s go to the Devil Sword Conference.” Yun Che did not explain, took Feng Xue’er’s hand and walked out.
After leaving the Grand Cloud Palace, Yun Che wanted to ask Xia Yuanba about the location of the Devil Sword Conference, but he saw Master Gu Cang standing in the courtyard, wearing white clothes and a gentle smile on his face.
“Master, why are you still here? Didn’t you go to the Sea God Platform?” Xia Yuanba asked in surprise.
Master Gu Cang smiled faintly, but his eyes turned to Yun Che: "Master, I think it would be better for me to go with you. Little friend Yun, it looks like you are seriously injured, and your profound strength is also greatly damaged, but fortunately your injuries have stabilized, you just need to rest for a while, and nothing serious will happen. You can just observe this Devil Sword Conference, don't force yourself to take action."
Yun Che stepped forward and said, “Thank you, Senior Gu, for your concern. Due to my injuries, although I am temporarily staying in the Grand Supreme Cloud Pavilion, I have not visited the seniors in the Saint Domain. I hope you can forgive me.”
"No problem." Master Gu Cang smiled and shook his head, but he did not ask why he was injured or how he got out of the Moon Slaughter Demon Cave alive. He raised his head slightly and glanced at the sky: "In another half an hour, the sky will show a strange phenomenon of thirteen stars in a row, which is also the key moment to unlock the secret of the magic sword. Although it is a little early, the heroes of Tianxuan have gathered at the Sea God Platform, and we should set off."
Above the sky, a round sun was shining brightly, with no signs of anything unusual.
The floating sea palace was still quiet, and no one was in sight. In the middle direction, an amazing aura came from afar... That place must be the Sea God Arena where almost all the top masters of Tianxuan Continent gathered, and it was also the place where the Devil Sword Conference was held. The distance was about twelve or thirteen miles away.
This distance also made Yun Che feel a little relieved.
