Many of the people who knew about the Ghost Tear Pearl back then are no longer alive. The few who are still alive are all figures like patriarchs from various circles. If Chu Yu and his group want to bring down Luo Yi, they need two things: first, to obtain the real Ghost Tear Pearl, and second, to have witnesses. Without evidence, it will be difficult for them to take action against Luo Yi.
Now that Chu Yu has already clashed with Luo Yi, he has no intention of stopping. Regardless of why Luo Yi escaped trial back then, Chu Yu will not tolerate any wrongdoing. Luo Yi has so much innocent blood on his hands, and he must pay the price for his actions.
Lan Yue, also known as Lan Jiao, provided them with a clue about the Ghost Tear Pearl: Mo Ran, the former Demon King of the Demon Realm and the father of the current Demon King.
After Luo Yi refined the Ghost Tear Pearl, Lan Jiao briefly regained consciousness for a period of time. Her soul saw the scene of Mo Ran holding the Ghost Tear Pearl and handing it to Luo Yi.
In fact, at that time, Lan Jiao's soul had begun to condense thanks to the enormous vitality provided by the Ghost Tear Pearl. However, Lan Jiao later accidentally learned what Luo Yi had done and chose to shatter her own soul. But Luo Yi saved her again. Over the years, she has remained awake, but has never revealed anything to Luo Yi.
She didn't want Luo Yi to know that her soul could move freely, but she also didn't want Luo Yi to continue his massacres, so for many years she had been in a state of weak soul but not yet regained consciousness.
She knew what Chu Yu and his group wanted to do after Chu Yu brought her out this time, and she would do her best to help them. She hoped to atone for her sins, since everything was ultimately her fault, and it would be best if she could end it all.
With the clues provided by Lan Yue, the group did make progress, but the problem was that Mo Ran was already dead.
Tu Er said somewhat resignedly, "The old demon king Mo Ran has been dead for who knows how long, so even if we knew, it wouldn't make a difference."
Chu Yu and Mo Qi exchanged a glance. Mo Qi understood immediately and said in a deep voice, "The Demon King Mo Ran is still alive."
"What?!"
"Mo Qi, you're not joking, are you? Everyone knows that the old demon king failed to ascend to godhood and perished. This kind of joke isn't funny at all."
Tu Er thought Mo Qi was joking, but to her surprise, Chu Yu said seriously, "Mo Qi, please finish."
Mo Qi's expression was very serious. "The Demon King Mo Ran is indeed still alive. After Mo Ran failed to transcend his tribulation, he did not perish. He was seriously injured and has been recuperating in the forbidden area of the demon race. Although so many years have passed, no one knows how well he has recovered, but he is indeed still alive."
Seeing that Mo Qi's expression was not a joke, Tu Er was no less shocked than when he first learned that Chu Yu was the main god. The old demon king of the demon realm was still alive, which was not good news for their demon realm.
Mo Ran was once hailed as the most talented person in the demon realm. What's even more special is that he is a nine-tailed celestial fox. They had always thought that Yin Ji was the last nine-tailed fox in the six realms, but they never expected that there would be an even more troublesome one now.
Even if they hadn't witnessed the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox's fighting prowess firsthand, they had read about it extensively in ancient books. There was a saying in ancient times: "Below all the gods, only the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox reigns supreme."
Standing beside the flower, Wan Ke scrutinized Mo Qi. This was the first time she had examined him so seriously. Wan Ke had lived in the demon realm for nearly 100,000 years, but she had never heard of Mo Ran's affairs. She never expected that Mo Qi would know such a secret. It seemed that they had all underestimated Mo Qi.
Wan Ke then pondered secretly, no wonder Chu Yu could keep Mo Qi by his side, he must have already discovered his extraordinary abilities, after all, to put it bluntly, Mo Qi was just the illegitimate son of the Demon King.
Now that they knew Mo Ran was still alive and in the Demon Realm, the group immediately set off. However, this time they were going to a forbidden area of the Demon Clan, so they couldn't go there in a big way and had to carefully avoid the Demon King's eyes and ears.
Otherwise, if the Demon King finds out what they're up to, there's no guarantee that something won't go wrong. After all, although the Demon King seems to be on the side of the Gods, how could such an old fox like him put all his eggs in one basket? Nobody knows what he's really thinking, so it's always better to be careful.
Instead of entering the demon realm through the main gate, the group secretly slipped in through a weak opening connecting the demon realm to the human world.
Mo Qi discovered this place. He had a hard time in the demon realm before, and he accidentally found this loophole. He often sneaked out to the human world, and now it came in handy. Moreover, this place led directly to the outskirts of the demon realm's imperial city.
The forbidden area they were heading to was located within the imperial city. Everyone in the entire imperial city knew where the forbidden area of the demon race was, but the forbidden area was heavily guarded and surrounded by numerous barriers. Even members of the royal family like them could not enter, because there was a barrier that required the blood of the demon king to open.
"Then how did you know Mo Ran was in here? Did you go inside?"
It's not that Tu Er doubts Mo Qi, but if this forbidden area is really as difficult to enter as Mo Qi said, how would Mo Qi know that Mo Ran is inside, unless he has been inside before!
But... Mo Qi is just the Demon King's illegitimate son, and there's absolutely no way the Demon King would bring him in.
Mo Qi remained expressionless and said, "It's in Yin Ji's legacy." Mo Qi didn't intend to reveal his relationship with Yin Ji, so he addressed her by her name directly.
They all knew that Mo Qi had inherited the legacy of the Nine-Tailed Fox, Yin Ji, so they weren't surprised to hear him say this.
Gu Xi arrived later, so he only just found out. However, he wasn't surprised. After all, since Mo Qi was already working for Chu Yu, Chu Yu wouldn't treat him unfairly. He just didn't expect Chu Yu to be so generous.
The demon realm has always revered the fox clan, and among the fox clan, the nine-tailed fox is the most revered. The nine-tailed fox inheritance is something that many foxes would spend their entire lives trying to obtain, but unexpectedly, it was Mo Qi who obtained it.
The group made their way to the edge of the forbidden area. With Chu Yu around, everything else was easy to handle, but the demon king's blood was a bit of a challenge.
Asking directly is definitely not an option. If they were to take it by force, only Chu Yu could do it, but that would make their purpose too obvious and would definitely arouse the Demon King's suspicion.
At this moment, Hua suddenly said, "I remember that the Demon King was originally not Mo Jie but Huan Yu. It was Huan Yu who had no interest in the position of Demon King that led to Mo Jie's succession. So, does that mean Huan Yu's blood is also acceptable?"
The words made the group suddenly realize that Huan Yu, as the son of the former Demon King, was a shoo-in for the Demon King's position. During the many years his father was in power, he must have come to the forbidden area, and more than once.
Back then, Huan Yu's father didn't know that Huan Yu would give up the throne so easily, so perhaps Huan Yu had already been recognized by the Forbidden Land.
Chu Yu immediately sent a message to Huan Yu, telling him to come quickly. The group of them didn't sit idle either, and began to deal with the demons guarding the outer perimeter and the barrier.
