A moment later, the Peng demon withdrew its divine sense.
"It seems there's no problem; I was just being paranoid."
When it left, the Peng demon had a feeling of being watched, so it kept its guard up.
Thinking about it now, it must have been other demons in this ruined city who saw it.
The Peng demon, carrying Gu Jian's corpse, disappeared into the horizon.
Half an hour later.
In a certain part of the abandoned city, space suddenly distorted.
Gu Jian's figure stepped out from the Longevity Demon Palace.
Gu Jian glanced in the direction the Peng Demon had gone, a cold smile appearing on his face, his gaze growing even colder.
Because that's the direction of "Meidu," the capital of the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons.
"All the clues point to Meidu. Once we arrive in Meidu, we're sure to uncover the truth!"
Gu Jian muttered to himself, then quickly headed towards Meidu.
On the other side.
In the side hall of the Misty Sect.
A young man dressed in a black robe stood by the window.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Ye Chen!
To everyone else, he was clearly injured, lying in bed, unconscious.
But at this moment, he showed no signs of injury.
Ye Chen was about twenty years old, with an extraordinary appearance and a refined demeanor, and his eyes gleamed with a sharp light.
He possesses a maturity beyond his years.
At this moment, he held a jade slip for transmitting sound in his hand.
The voice of a demon echoed from the jade slip.
"My lord, I have two pieces of news to report to you. One is good news, and the other is bad news. Which would you like to hear first?"
Ye Chen remained calm and said, "Let's hear the bad news first."
The jade slip vibrated slightly, and the evil voice came through again, "My lord, those two brats, the White Tiger Demon and the Lion Tiger Demon, have gone missing."
Ye Chen nodded and said, "They should be dead."
"Dead?!"
The demonic voice sounded somewhat surprised, but considering that Ye Chen was their master of the contract, it didn't doubt him.
This is because when the White Tiger Demon and the Lion Tiger Demon die, the contract between them and their master will break.
As the master of the contract, Ye Chen was naturally able to sense it immediately.
"They're dead? Did Gu Jian kill them?"
The Peng demon muttered to himself.
Ye Chen remained silent. He ordered his demon servants to hunt down Gu Jian, with the White Tiger Demon and the Lion-Tiger Demon serving as the vanguard to scout ahead.
Although he wasn't very strong, his death was somewhat unexpected.
Ye Chen didn't care about the deaths of the two little demons. Holding the communication jade slip, he asked again, "Peng Hai, what's the good news?"
Upon hearing the good news, Peng Yao perked up and said, "My lord, the good news is that Gu Jian is dead. His body is now in my hands."
Ye Chen's expression changed; it was one of surprise.
But then, he cautiously asked, "Is it true or false? You're not mistaken, it's Gu Jian's corpse?"
Peng Yao said, "I am not mistaken, it is indeed Gu Jian, without a doubt. If Your Majesty does not believe me, I am willing to cut off my head and use it as a stool for Your Majesty to sit on."
"That's not necessary."
Ye Chen spoke, already believing Peng Yao's words, and then his smile deepened.
"My ridiculous senior brother, what kind of self-inflicted injury scheme did he use to run to the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, only to make things worse in the end."
Peng Yao flattered with a smile, "It's all thanks to the master's brilliant strategy, sending his subordinates to hunt down Gu Jian in advance."
"What should we do with Gu Jian's body now? Should we find a way to give it to the sect leader of the Misty Sect?"
Ye Chen began to ponder.
If Ye Qingcheng knew that Gu Jian was dead, she would surely be devastated.
Afterwards, if he pleaded a little, Ye Qingcheng would most likely give him Gu Jian's Supreme Bone.
But this is not what Ye Chen wanted.
What Ye Chen wanted was to completely ruin this senior brother's reputation.
After all, he had disliked this senior brother ever since he was a child.
That was his original plan.
Ye Chen held the communication jade slip in his hand, smiled faintly, and said, "No, doing this would be too easy on him. My master has now entered the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. Since that's the case, let's begin our plan."
"Next, I will become the martial arts champion of the Demon Kingdom and gradually take control of it. By the way, I will also let my dear master see what kind of person his eldest disciple, Gu Jian, really is."
"Peng Hai, wait there for a moment, I will be reborn soon."
"Yes, my lord."
The Peng demon spoke, its eyes brightening.
This is because Ye Chen's plan to control the Demon Kingdom has been brewing for a long time.
Now it's finally time to take action.
He is Ye Chen's demon servant, and once Ye Chen takes control of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, he will be second only to Ye Chen and above all others within the kingdom.
Even the Nine-Tailed Fox King, who reigns supreme in the Kingdom of Ten Thousand Demons, can only sit on equal footing with it.
Thinking of this, the Peng Demon trembled with excitement.
The telepathic transmission ended.
Ye Chen turned to Elder Liang Tongyun beside him and said, "Aunt Yun, I'm going to the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. Do you know what to do next?"
Elder Liang Tongyun nodded and said, "Master, I understand. I will not allow anyone to enter this room. If the Sect Master returns, I will wake you in advance."
"As expected of my dear Aunt Yun."
A smile appeared on Ye Chen's face.
Then, he slowly lay down on the bed.
As Ye Chen lay down, mysterious runes appeared all around him.
A faint power of transmission also emerged.
However, what was transmitted was not Ye Chen's body, but a wisp of his soul.
This is the Heavenly Dao Reincarnation Technique that Ye Chen cultivates, which comes from a magical ring he obtained back then.
The Heavenly Reincarnation Technique allows him to separate a wisp of his soul and then, disregarding space, reincarnate into a puppet clone he created in advance.
