"well……"
Three days later, Yan Quan looked at the Immortal Puppet Robe and the invitation in his hand and sighed softly.
"Boss, this is really strange. Three candidates for the throne are holding a grand banquet at the Water Heaven Palace at the same time. Is this a sign that they are forming an alliance?"
Fox Heli, who was practicing with her long sword in the clear courtyard, noticed Yan Quan's unusual behavior and stopped to ask him a question.
"Hmm... there must be some clues, but that's not what I'm sighing about."
"So, can you still recognize me?"
As Yan Quan changed into his immortal puppet robes, he spoke. The next moment, his aura changed completely, and even his appearance changed. Hu Heli, who was standing to the side, was shocked to see Yan Quan transform into someone she could not recognize at all.
"Yeah, although I know the boss is still the boss, it's just that his aura and the outside world are completely different..."
"That's fine then."
Yan Quan nodded, then his figure changed again, transforming into the appearance of a cat demon with two gray cat ears on his head.
"Pfft... Hahaha, boss, you, how did you become like this?"
"What are you laughing at? It's more convenient this way. Let's go to the Water Heaven Palace; we should be able to make it to the banquet."
Yan Quan said helplessly, and after Hu Heli changed into the clothes of the Tianji Pavilion, he took her on a water boat and dived into the huge whirlpool in the center of Shuitian City.
After a winding stream, they arrived at a huge underwater cavern.
It is surrounded by numerous fluorite formations, and a unique palace stretches for hundreds of miles within them.
"I had only heard about it before, I never imagined it would actually be so glorious."
As they flew into the watership at the palace entrance, Hu Heli stood in front of Yan Quan and exclaimed in surprise.
"Xi Wu Ri, a candidate for the Water Demon Clan's imperial throne, is ranked fourth... He seems to be a very capable fellow."
As for Lang Tianheng, he's ranked seventh, and his reputation seems to be the worst among the candidates.
Yan Quan didn't seem to have any particular feelings. Instead, he sat quietly in his seat, analyzing the intelligence he had gathered from the Tianji Pavilion.
In contrast, around the watership, there were many other waterships constantly entering the area, all belonging to invited demon nobles or special individuals.
"Cough cough..."
With a dull thud, Yan Quan and his companion disembarked from the boat along with the Tianji Pavilion cultivators who had come with them. After being checked by the guards, they slowly followed the flow of people into the Water Heaven Palace.
"Boss, where are we going?"
Hu Heli tilted her head and asked Yan Quan, who was studying a map.
"Um……"
"He Li...?!"
Why are you here? You've been missing for so many years, where have you been?
Suddenly, a figure flashed past behind them. When Yan Quan saw it clearly, he realized it was a tall fox cultivator with the same fur color as Hu Heli.
"Cousin? You, what are you doing here?"
Several years ago, I accidentally wandered into an unusual secret realm and was trapped there for several years. I was only able to escape and return thanks to the help of this old... fellow Daoist Chu.
Hu Heli exclaimed with delight, it seemed that she had a pretty good relationship with this cousin in front of her.
"And what brings you here?"
Seeing that Yan Quan tactfully bypassed her, Hu Heli quickly continued to ask.
"Oh, by the way, I'm now working under Princess Yunxi, who is a candidate for the throne of our fox clan. I've been looking for you all these years because I wanted to introduce you to that person so that we could both serve Her Highness the princess."
The fox-man nodded repeatedly, speaking excitedly.
"What...?! Princess Yunxi, she... she's been chosen as a candidate for the throne?... That's wonderful, but..."
Hu Heli thought for a moment, then looked around hesitantly, only to find that Yan Quan was nowhere to be seen...
Several miles away, Yan Quan was holding a map and searching for the location of the cat demon clan, but he found that he seemed to have walked into a place that was not marked on the map.
"I really can't understand the map of this demon realm, and there are restrictions here that prevent us from flying."
He sighed softly and decided to turn around and walk back.
As for Hu Heli, she should understand what I mean, so I might as well let her go back to the fox clan first.
Anyway, he had made a promise with her not to reveal his identity, and he had also placed a restriction on her body... and maybe he could even be used by the fox clan in the future.
"Fellow Daoist, please wait a moment."
Suddenly, a tall, gray-haired man appeared behind Yan Quan. He was handsome, with erect ears and eyes that gleamed slightly blue.
"What is it?"
Yan Quan said calmly, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.
"I've never seen such a unique cat clan member as you in recent days... Heavenly Mystery Pavilion...?"
Fellow Daoist, are you aware of what's happening to your own body?
The man looked at Yan Quan, then asked another question.
"Perhaps it's due to a cultivation technique I practice... Fellow Daoist Wu Ri, do you know where my master is right now?"
Yan Quan remained calm and composed, and asked the man a question in return.
