Chong Jiu and Shu Jianyue exchanged a glance.
It seems that this invincible force is determined not to let them leave.
"It seems you're not interested in that so-called divine object."
Ni Tian smiled and shook his head. "No, who wouldn't be interested in a divine object? But I know that divine objects always choose their own masters."
"Even if I wanted it, it might not choose me."
Shu Jianyue pursed her lips. If they see things so clearly, why force them to stay here for the sake of Xiao Shitou?
Chong Jiu gently patted Shu Jianyue's back and looked at Ni Tian, asking, "When does the Demon Emperor plan to go to Mount Jinyan?"
Ni Tian pondered for a moment and said, "Let's go tomorrow. I still have some things to take care of today."
Chong Jiu's eyebrows twitched slightly. He looked down at Shu Jianyue, who was playing with her fingers, and nodded. "Alright, you can go ahead and get busy."
The commanding tone made Ni Tian narrow his eyes, suppress the anger that was about to surge up in his heart, nod, bow, and leave.
Upon returning to the main hall, he summoned his subordinates to begin planning, devising a strategy to keep the two men in the Demon Realm.
So what if the God of Jiuze perished here? Who would even know?
Chong Jiu naturally knew that he would definitely take some action, but he didn't take it to heart.
Shu Jianyue wouldn't take it lightly. There's a saying that goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Knowing the other party's plans is the only way to respond in time.
So her mental energy defied the heavens, and she carefully examined his plan, then relayed it to Chong Jiu one by one.
Chong Jiu looked at her with a smile, and responded to each of her words to show that he had heard her.
After listening to Ni Tian's entire plan, Shu Jianyue withdrew her mental energy and looked at Chong Jiu, saying, "He's quite confident; he actually wants to keep us all here."
"I can tell." Chong Jiu pulled her into his arms, kissed the top of her head, and said, "Rest for a bit. No matter what, I will take my wife out with me tomorrow."
Shu Jianyue snuggled against him and said, "Let's go inside and rest. We still have to deal with that demon king tomorrow."
Chong Jiu chuckled softly, "Alright, let's go in."
Shu Jianyue used her spiritual power to scan the surroundings and, after confirming that no one was monitoring them, took Chong Jiu into the space.
She glanced at Yuchuan and saw him quietly nestled in his bed, then she and Chongjiu returned to their own room.
The two of them rested quietly in their private space for a night, feeling comfortable, while Ni Tian outside thought they had left.
He doesn't care if they leave, but they can't take the Ganges Stone with them.
What he tried so hard to keep wasn't just the Ganges stone; they were unwilling to give it up, so he had no choice but to keep it as well.
Upon receiving the news, Ni Tian immediately dispatched many demons to search for him. Without his guidance, they would have no chance of finding the teleportation array to leave.
The person they searched for all night reappeared in the Demon Emperor's Palace early the next morning.
Ni Tian felt that the couple was deliberately picking a fight with him, but he couldn't do anything about it, so he smashed a lot of things in his bedroom.
After venting his anger, he composed himself and approached the couple who had infuriated him. "Venerable ones, did you rest well last night?"
Shu Jianyue yawned and said, "It's fine, just a bit noisy."
Ni Tian's lips twitched. They had been looking for them all night, but they thought it was too noisy.
I really wanted to ask them where they rested last night and why I couldn't smell them, but I couldn't ask, because asking would imply that they were being monitored.
Ni Tian exhaled a breath of stale air and smiled, "Something happened last night, so I apologize for disturbing you two."
Shu Jianyue waved her hand casually, "It's fine, it's just for one night anyway."
"Now it's time to set off, right? Let's hurry up and go. I can't wait."
Ni Tian glanced at Chong Jiu, nodded and gave his subordinates a wink, then led them outside.
Chong Jiu grasped Shu Jianyue's hand and squeezed it.
Shu Jianyue shook her hand in return, indicating that she had received it.
The group arrived at the foot of Mount Jinyan. Looking at the scorching heat above, Shu Jianyue frowned.
Why does she feel uncomfortable?
Chong Jiu sensed it too and tightened his grip on her hand.
Ni Tian, seemingly unaware of anything, pointed upwards and said, "This Jin Yan Mountain has been dormant for tens of thousands of years. Its awakening now must be due to the birth of some divine object. Let's go up and take a look."
Chong Jiu raised his hand and said, "Let's go together."
Ni Tian chuckled lightly and took the lead in walking upstairs.
Chong Jiu led Shu Jianyue and followed.
The higher you go, the more intense that uncomfortable feeling becomes.
Shu Jianyue glanced back and saw that none of Ni Tian's subordinates had followed. She raised an eyebrow; this was different from what she had heard yesterday.
Chong Jiu gripped her hand tightly, gesturing for her to look up.
Shu Jianyue looked up and saw a dark red cloud of mist appearing in the crater.
Dark red!
This color looks rather sinister.
It doesn't look like a good thing no matter how you look at it. I hope it's not some sealed evil object.
Ni Tian frowned as he looked at the dark red cloud, as he found it unsettling.
The group walked to the crater and looked down. They saw that the lava below was churning violently, as if something was about to burst out from below.
Shu Jianyue found that once she arrived here, she no longer felt uncomfortable.
Looking at Chao Chongjiu, one could see that he was frowning the whole time.
"What's wrong?"
Chong Jiu shook his head and transmitted his voice, saying, "[There's a familiar aura down there, but I can't quite place it.]"
A familiar scent?
Shu Jianyue looked down again, but could see nothing but lava.
He glanced sideways at Ni Tian and saw that Ni Tian was looking right at him.
Shu Jianyue smiled and asked, "The Demon Emperor might be able to tell what's down there, given how strange the aura is."
Ni Tian was stunned for a moment and said, "How could we possibly tell? But the temperature of the lava is decreasing, so we should be able to go down and take a look later."
Shu Jianyue naturally sensed it too, but didn't think it was safe to go down.
The surging lava didn't look like it was about to go out, so the drop in temperature seemed more like a deceptive tactic.
Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a while, Ni Tian couldn't help but ask, "What, Venerable Shu, do you have other opinions?"
Shu Jianyue chuckled and shook her head, saying, "I don't have any insights, after all, I've never seen this situation before. However, I wish the Demon Emperor a resounding victory."
"What does Venerable Shu mean?" Wishing him a successful start implies that they do not intend to go down.
How will his plan be implemented?
As Shu Jianyue saw the raging inferno gradually calm down, her brows twitched, and she glanced sideways at Ni Tian, wondering if he could control it.
Thinking about it, it was impossible. Shu Jianyue smiled and said, "Seeing that the Demon Emperor is determined to obtain the divine object below, then I must give the Demon Emperor my blessing."
Even Ni Tian's lips twitched involuntarily upon hearing this.
