Just as he was about to return to Xiandu, he was surrounded by a group of demon cultivators.
The demon cultivators looked sinister.
"Immortal Emperor, you want to run away before you give us a satisfactory answer?"
Xukong sneered and activated his divine power: "Get lost!"
Dozens of demon cultivators who had reached the level of fusion were completely powerless to fight back and could only watch as the enemy escaped into the void.
As soon as the man left, other demon cultivators surrounded him.
"Red Wind Demon Lord, what should we do? We are dozens of people in the Fusion Stage and we can't even shake him. If we hadn't set up many ambushes before and the things we mentioned attracted the attention of the Immortal Emperor, even if we mobilized the entire Netherworld Continent, we probably wouldn't be able to move him at all! He is really too terrifying!"
The other monsters also echoed their concerns.
"What are you afraid of?" Chi Feng, who was dressed in red and surrounded by demonic aura, narrowed his eyes slightly, "It's not just us in the Netherworld Continent who are against him."
"But if even our Netherworld Continent can't shake him, won't it be the same even if there are people from other continents?"
"That's not necessarily true."
"What do you mean, Demon Lord?"
The Red Wind Demon King’s dark eyes turned.
"Do you know the Five Spirits?"
"Five spirits, didn't the demon king say that even if all five spirits were gathered, it would be useless?"
The Netherworld Continent naturally knew about the Five Spirits, but they also knew that they were not of much use. There was once a demon king who spent almost half of his life using his magical powers, and finally learned that the Five Spirits that claimed to be able to save the world had failed thousands of times.
Even if I try again, the final result will only be failure.
"no the same."
"Different? How is it different?"
"Of course people are different."
The other demon cultivators still didn't quite understand, but the Red Wind Demon King didn't intend to explain it any more clearly.
"Okay, we've already done it. Send the demon to notify Chi Tong."
"Yes, Demon Lord."
On the other side, Xu Qiuqian put Xiaoxian, Xiqiu and Achun into the space of the Hunling Jade Pendant and quickly returned to the hall.
When he sensed the figure of Void approaching, he restrained his breath and spiritual awareness, and silently counted dozens of numbers in his mind.
Then he set out to the big tree.
Seeing the void, she hurried over.
"Immortal Emperor, why are you here too?"
Hearing this, Xukong turned around and looked at her: "What are you doing here?"
"Just now I sensed an unusual fluctuation coming from this side, so I came here to investigate. Did the Immortal Emperor also sense it?"
Her expression was natural, and she looked like someone who had just arrived.
But the Immortal Emperor did not let down his guard and looked at her with his eyes.
"What were you doing?"
"Before? I was managing Hejie according to your instructions. If you don't believe me, you can go to Hejie and take a look."
Then, she looked at the tree again, "Is there something wrong with this tree?"
The Immortal Emperor then withdrew his scrutiny of her and sneered, "Someone has touched it."
Xu Qiuqian felt a little depressed.
How did you notice something was wrong so quickly?
But he still pretended to be surprised.
"Did you move it? But it seems to be fine and there is nothing wrong with it."
"You naturally can't feel that it's wrong because the tree is no longer the same tree."
Although he had expected it, Xu Qiuqian still felt heavier in his heart.
She was surprised and asked, "How could it be? It's not the same tree as before?" She reached out her hand to touch the tree, closed her eyes and felt it for a while, then murmured to herself, "It does seem to be a little different, but who could do such a thing?"
As she spoke, she kept thinking about how to solve this problem.
First of all, the most likely ones are the three Immortal Emperors under the seat of Void. Her identity must not be discovered by Void, and neither can Xuanbing. Now she and Xuanbing are in the same group. Once Xuanbing is discovered, he is likely to expose her.
It would be even worse if Xukong started to suspect Wu Ling. It would be bad if he discovered Wu Ling's current situation and took action to resolve it.
Then there is only one option left.
Land Shadow.
Lu Ying happened to be related to this so-called soul transfer, and was the best candidate.
Although her previous plan was to pull Lu Ying into her camp, someone had to take the blame now. There was no choice but to sacrifice Lu Ying.
At this moment, a cold voice came from the void beside him.
"Whoever it is, if I catch him, I will make him suffer a fate worse than death."
Xu Qiuqian withdrew his hand: "I can feel traces of a formation here. Could it be that someone set up a formation and stole the real tree?"
"Oh? You know the formation?"
Void looked at Xu Qiuqian again.
Xu Qiuqian was not at all flustered, and nodded, saying: "Since I became the Heavenly Dao of the He Realm and received the divine power you bestowed upon me, some of my previously forgotten memories have gradually come back to me, especially those related to the formation.
However, I am not very good at formations, so whether or not I remember it does not have a big impact on me, but it is still possible to sense the fluctuations of the formation."
These words dispelled Xukong's doubts.
Xukong nodded and said, "There are indeed traces of formation fluctuations, but they are not from this world. In addition, I also sensed a tiny trace of divine power."
Xu Qiuqian's heart trembled, and he said in surprise, "The only ones who possess divine power here are the Immortal Emperor and the three Immortal Emperors, right?"
"More than that." Void narrowed his eyes slightly.
In addition to him and the three Immortal Emperors, there were a few others, including Shen En and Yuan Shan, to whom he had also endowed divine powers.
Yuanshan is in Guiyang Continent and should not have time to do such things, and he is also more confident in Yuanshan.
The remaining ones are the three Immortal Emperors and Shen En.
Although Chen En had rebellious intentions, with the Nine-tailed Fox Clan around, it was impossible for Chen En to do such a thing.
As for the remaining three Immortal Emperors.
The Immortal Emperor's eyes fell on Xu Qiuqian.
Qiu He should be ruled out for the time being, so only Xuan Bing and Lu Ying are left.
Thinking of this, the Immortal Emperor closed his eyes and sensed the location of the divine power.
Xuan Bing and Lu Ying were both in their respective halls. Xuan Bing was practicing, while Lu Ying... he frowned slightly.
"What's wrong?" Xu Qiuqian asked from the side.
The Immortal Emperor opened his eyes with a cold look.
Then he ordered Xu Qiuqian: "Go check Lu Ying's recent movements."
Xu Qiuqian responded.
Only after the Immortal Emperor left did she slowly breathe a sigh of relief.
She originally wanted to draw Xukong's suspicion to Lu Ying, but she didn't expect that Xukong would suspect Lu Ying without her leading. It might be that Lu Ying happened to do something just now that aroused Xukong's suspicion.
Then the next step will be easy.
She just needed to find the evidence related to Lu Ying and the soul-transferring, because she had known about the relationship between Lu Ying and the soul-transferring. Therefore, she only needed to work backwards to find the evidence related to the contact between Lu Ying and Ling Yang thirty years ago and the sealing of Ling Yang's memory alone.
If we find out this, it will be enough to convict Lu Ying and put all the blame on him.
But before that, she had one thing to confirm.
That is what was the reason why Lu Ying sealed the Seven Stars Great Shift alone.
If it was just to protect herself or to replace the Void like Xuan Bing did, she would have done it without any hesitation.
But if it weren't...
