The three women standing nearby were both shocked and furious: "What are you doing!"
"Don't be nervous, just let him scout ahead." The Demon Emperor said calmly. This kind of time-space tunnel, especially one related to the unknown, is far too risky. Even as an Earth Immortal, he wouldn't dare to risk his life.
However, they dared not let anyone go in to investigate first, because it involved unknown places, and if he obtained treasures of immortality in advance, it would be a huge loss.
So they tied the other person up with a rope, so they could pull them back at any time.
The three women were also aware of the risks involved. They gritted their teeth and decided to go in as well. After all, they had come to the unknown land this time. Even if they died in there with Zu'an, it would be a case of getting what they wanted. It was better than being a prisoner in the hands of the Demon Emperor.
However, they were stopped by the Demon Emperor as soon as they made a move. He looked at them with a strange expression and said, "I didn't expect you to be so loyal to that kid."
Yu Yanluo didn't care, but Yan Xuehen felt extremely guilty upon hearing this. Yun Jianyue retorted directly, "What nonsense are you talking about? We're just friends and we don't want him to bear the danger alone. Do you think everyone is as scheming and backstabbing as you demons?"
The Demon Emperor sneered, "When it comes to scheming and killing each other, your human race is far more adept."
Looking at the deep vortex, Yun Jianyue had no interest in discussing these matters with him and replied directly, "Instead of worrying about us, you should think about whether your beautiful little demon queen will follow you if you die."
The Demon Emperor's smiling face froze instantly, as if he had been dealt a critical blow.
He lost interest in chatting, snorted, and pulled the rope, quickly bringing Zuan back to the crowd.
Seeing that he was unharmed, the three women breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went over to ask him if he had suffered any hidden injuries.
Wu Liang watched with envy. This guy was incredible. He could take on all three of them—Queen Medusa, the leader of the Demonic Sect, and the leader of the Righteous Path—and they all got along so well.
Prince Jinwu's face was gloomy. He was so jealous that he was going crazy. How could all the most beautiful women in the world have a relationship with this guy? The Snow Princess of the Elf Clan was like that before, and now Queen Medusa is like that. Even the leader of the Demonic Sect and the abbot of Baiyujing Temple seem to have close relationships with him.
He became increasingly determined to humiliate his woman in front of him after he ascended the throne, so that he could finally vent the frustration he had been suffering these past few days. Otherwise, he would always feel like a loser in front of him for the rest of his life.
The Demon Emperor had no time to concern himself with their petty squabbles; instead, he stared at Zu'an and asked, "What's the situation inside?"
Zuan replied, "Although the passage inside is not very stable, it is not too dangerous. After passing through the passage, there is also a large lake, but it is tied with ropes, so I cannot go far to investigate."
"Wonderful, wonderful!" Wu Liang exclaimed. "There's a lake here and a lake there, one yin and one yang, like a mirror turned upside down. This design is truly ingenious."
He had been robbing tombs his whole life, but this was the first time he had ever seen such an ingenious design.
The Demon Emperor ignored him and instead gave Zu'an a strange look: "You don't seem afraid at all, nor do you seem to have any resentment towards my actions just now."
“Why be afraid?” Zuan replied calmly. “Besides, I’m not as skilled as you, and I’ve been captured by you, so I should be prepared to be a prisoner.”
The three women exchanged glances, their eyes filled with admiration but also a hint of unease. Knowing Zu'an as they did, they knew he was far from honest; he was definitely up to something.
The Demon Emperor laughed and said, "You really are a remarkable person. No wonder you are so highly regarded by the human race. Even I have grown to like you."
Zu'an thought to himself, "It's more like it's my wife, Little Demon Queen, who likes me. What good is it if you, an old geezer, like me?"
Having confirmed that there was no danger over there, the Demon Emperor waved his sleeve, pulling everyone into it, and then walked straight towards the vortex, disappearing into it.
Inside their sleeves, the group looked at each other in bewilderment. They were as if they were in a state of chaos, surrounded by a misty fog, unable to see the sky or the ground, and feeling as if they were standing on clouds.
Yun Jianyue sighed, "The technique of 'hiding the universe in one's sleeve' is truly astonishing. I used to think that my cultivation was not too far from that of an Earth Immortal, but now I realize that I was far too arrogant back then."
Yan Xuehen rolled her eyes: "Last time in the capital palace, you were defeated by Zhao Hao without even showing his face. Didn't that wake you up yet? You only start to sigh now."
"Ice Stone Woman, are you deliberately trying to argue with me?" Yun Jianyue glared at her fiercely.
Seeing the two women arguing, Wu Liang felt relieved, thinking that this was more like it; having multiple wives wasn't something to be enjoyed so easily.
Only the Golden Crow Prince in the distance coldly watched all of this, a wicked smile on his face.
Yu Yanluo leaned closer to Zu An: "Zu An, what do we do next?"
“Don’t worry, I have similar experience,” Zuan reassured her.
The Demon Emperor probably never dreamed that he was also forced to explore the secret realm by another Earth Immortal, Zhao Hao, and ultimately turned the tide in a desperate situation.
If I had known this, I would never have dared to spare Zu'an's life.
His biggest worry now is the puppet curse cast by the demon emperor. Although it hasn't been activated yet, the huge eye in his mind constantly reminds him that he can't disobey the other party's orders.
Originally, the scissors that Moxi conjured from "Farewell to Nanchao" were just right to counter this kind of contract, but her cultivation level was too low to meet the conditions for use.
Seeing the worry in his eyes, Yu Yanluo sighed softly. "Azu probably said that to comfort me. What can he do against the Demon Emperor?"
