While it was still foggy outside, the Blood Vine stood outside the city wall of Sea City. He took out the black pill that Li Yuanqing had given him.

His master had spent a lot of effort to refine this thing. He said that after consuming it, his body would temporarily possess the power of a devil. At that time, the Blood Vine would be able to fabricate a story to muddle through.

As long as he could obtain the trust of the Devil King, his safety would naturally be guaranteed.

If not for Li Yuanqing taking out such a thing in the end, the Blood Vine would not have been willing to come over. He had refused to come yesterday no matter what, but was finally sent over by his master.

The Blood Vine threw the black pill into his mouth. He raised his head and swallowed half a fist-sized pill. This time, he could only swallow it with the cooperation of his huge spiritual energy. Otherwise, it would be impossible for such a huge thing to pass his throat.

After swallowing it, the Blood Vine felt as if his abdomen was burning with a very hot flame. It was very hot after that. It was even burning in his stomach like strong wine.

The Blood Vine felt that his body was gradually filled with the warm feeling from his abdomen. The overflowing energy kept accumulating in his body. His body was already half red and half white. He barely looked like a person, and he still looked strange. Now that he was burned by this scorching energy, his entire body suddenly became even redder. It was as if his entire body had returned to its former red color.

However, this was only the beginning. After about ten breaths, his stomach suddenly stopped feeling hot. Instead, he suddenly felt a bone-piercing chill. The cold made the Blood Vine shiver.

What changed was the Blood Vine’s skin. It slowly turned black. It was as if there was a thick layer of black armor covering his red skin. The black energy outside became more and more corporeal.

The Blood Vine stood on the spot, at a loss. His master had only told him that this thing would be useful, but he had not said how it would work. Why was this so strange? Fortunately, he had swallowed it early on. Otherwise, the energy fluctuations that overflowed from his body would be exposed if he was caught.

It was night before the thick fog outside dissipated. Now, the fog had gradually begun to thin, but it had not completely dissipated.

The devils guarding the city suddenly saw a humanoid fellow standing outside the city gate. This thing did not feel like a human or a demon. Instead, it looked like a devil. Its entire body was black.

Only when one looked close could they see that this person’s body was covered in black patterns on his red skin.

“Good lord, a small human dares to deliver himself to our door!”

When the devils guarding the city saw that business had arrived, they were also extremely excited. They turned into a thick fog and instantly arrived below the city wall, enveloping the Blood Vine.

However, the Blood Vine emitted a thick demonic aura. This made them very puzzled.

“Good lord, why does your smell so strange? Are you a human or a devil?”

The three devils appeared. This guy was quite powerful. It would not be easy for the three of them to deal with him.

After guarding the first wave of attacks, the Blood Vine looked at the devils who had revealed their true forms and said loudly, “I’m a guest invited by His Majesty. I want to see His Majesty now.”

“A guest invited by His Majesty?”

Just as one of the devils was puzzled, a person beside him suddenly said, “It seems that there is indeed such a thing. His Majesty instructed us yesterday that someone is actually waiting here early this morning. It must be this person.”

“In that case, it doesn’t seem wrong.”

Under such circumstances, other than special circumstances, no one else dared to appear outside Sea City.

After a simple discussion, the devils sent someone out to bring the Blood Vine into the city.

The Devil King looked at the strange-looking fellow standing in front of him. No one knew what he was thinking.

“Greetings, Your Majesty!”

The Devil King took out the seed of the Blood Vine and looked at the person below. “You are the main body?”

The Blood Vine waved his hand and summoned the vine over, fusing it into his body. “Your Majesty, it’s me.”

“Then you’re the one who came to propose yesterday.”

“Your Majesty is wise and mighty. This plan will definitely not disappoint you.”

This was the first time the Devil King had seen this person, but the confidence emitted by this person still made him trust him more. He said to the Blood Vine, “I didn’t say anything about agreeing to your suggestion.”

The Blood Vine smiled and said, “I remember that I made an appointment with Your Majesty yesterday. When I arrive today, it will be time for the two of us to set off. The devil race is in danger now. If Your Majesty hesitates too much, I’m afraid you will cause the entire race to be in danger.”

“Then how should I believe you? Don’t you know if the underground tunnel you mentioned was created by the Devil Realm?”

The Devil King slowly raised an arm. A huge force lifted the Blood Vine into the air and strangled his throat.

They had already discussed it. Why did something happen now? The Blood Vine was raised high and stared at the Devil King’s face with wide eyes.

“Your Majesty doesn’t believe me?”

“How can I trust you? In my memory, the devils have never reached the Demon Realm through other methods.”

However, at this moment, the Blood Vine suddenly laughed. His smile was very arrogant and confident. It was as if he, who had been caught red-handed, was not flustered at all.

“What are you laughing at? Am I wrong? You told me that the tunnel was created by someone from the Devil Realm, but this thing doesn’t exist at all. It’s just your words!”

The smile was still on the Blood Vine’s face. “Of course I have to laugh. Your Majesty, I didn’t expect a king like you, who claims to be a smart person, to make such a mistake.”

“Why? Do you know more than me about the Devil Realm?”

The Blood Vine said proudly, “At least in this matter, Your Majesty is too ignorant.”

“Are you saying I’m inexperienced?”

“The power of the Devil Realm is complicated. There are many factions, and there are all kinds of sect laws. How can Your Majesty say that you know everything that happened in the entire Devil Realm?”

As soon as the Blood Vine said this, the Devil King’s entire body seemed to tremble slightly. Unless one was from the Devil Realm, it was impossible for them to know about this.

The impression these people in the Demon Realm had of the Devil Realm was only a group of evil devils. Among them, the sects and clans were exactly the same.

However, this guy in front of him knew so much in detail. How did he know? Could it be that this person had been to the Devil Realm before?

“Maybe you did put in some effort. Tell me, where did you find out about this?”

“Your Majesty, you don’t have to worry about this. Thousands of years ago, the Netherworld Race suddenly disappeared without a trace.”

“What?” The Devil King’s body suddenly trembled. The invisible hand on the Blood Vine’s neck gradually loosened and threw him to the ground.

The Blood Vine rubbed his neck and looked up at the Devil King.

“Who are you?”

The Blood Vine did not answer. He only said to him, “Your Majesty, you only need to know that I’m the person who can bring you out of here. Is there a need for you to know too much?”

The Devil King suddenly realized that he could not see the person in front of him at all. How should he categorize this person? He had the characteristics of a human, a demon, and even a devil.

Which side was a very complicated fusion like him on? How was he born, and how did he know so much?

The Devil King was filled with doubts, but it was a race against time. In essence, he still did not trust this person, but after these two questions, the knowledge this fellow had displayed far exceeded the Devil King’s expectations.

If this guy really knew about the hidden path, he had to find the passageway with him as soon as possible and bring the clansmen up. Only then could he really unify the Demon Realm. Otherwise, there would only be a dead end for him.

A large dark cloud suddenly appeared above the City Lord Manor. This dark cloud slowly gathered the surrounding power and continuously gathered the demonic aura that filled the entire Sea City.

The devils below Sea City felt their bodies become weaker and weaker. All their strength was drawn out and gathered in the vortex above along with this huge suction force.

The vortex gradually took shape and grew larger. Slowly, it turned into a very powerful tornado. The tornado was more than ten thousand meters in diameter.

Such a tornado enveloped the entire Sea City.

In the center of the tornado stood two figures. One was a circular Devil King, and the other was the Blood Vine.

Just as the entire tornado reached its peak state, the Blood Vine suddenly felt that the space in front of him seemed to have changed. When he opened his eyes again, there was no City Lord Manor or city under his feet. The two of them had teleported to a desolate wasteland.

The Devil King mobilized a huge amount of power and used their devil race’s secret technique. He could teleport thousands of meters away. Only a big shot above the Formation Arrangement Realm had the chance to learn such a divine teleportation.

The Blood Vine felt a lingering fear. The Devil King cooperated with him and kept searching and adjusting according to the direction he gave.

Just like that, the two of them went on their way. The Blood Vine had completely won the trust of the Devil King. When the Devil King left, he gathered all the devils in Sea City in the City Lord Manor. Moreover, there was a very thick barrier outside. If anyone wanted to take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, these devils could resist the invaders.

However, that human did not intend to ambush them. He only carefully followed behind the two of them and looked at the huge tornado from afar.

This person appeared on a small hill and stood on the treetop of an ancient tree at the top of the hill, quietly looking at the constantly shifting tornado in the distance.

He was Li Yuanqing.

The speed that the Devil King instantly displayed shocked even him. He did not expect the Devil King to really have some ability.

However, what made him most curious was how many secrets were hidden on the Blood Vine? Why was it that the Blood Vine could always do something that surprised him?

Li Yuanqing had heard the conversation between the Blood Vine and the Devil King in the City Lord Manor clearly. It seemed that the Blood Vine knew a lot about the Devil Realm. He might even be from the Devil Realm.

However, how was that possible? The devils of the Devil Realm could not survive independently in the Demon Realm. Only by constantly absorbing the devilish aura emitted by the Devil Realm could he replenish his strength. If he was really a devil, how could he survive in the Demon Realm calmly?

Moreover, the Blood Vine revealed a very rich human aura. In terms of thinking, he was more like a human.

All of this made Li Yuanqing extremely puzzled. He kept feeling that this lackey of his was covered by a very thick veil that he could not see clearly.

While Li Yuanqing was thinking, the huge tornado was about to disappear from his sight. He did not dare to be negligent and continued to follow.

Although the Blood Vine hid many secrets, at least he had no intention of harming him now. The two of them were still in the same boat. Since they were going to cooperate, they had to give each other considerable trust. If the Blood Vine was killed by the Devil King, it would be a huge loss to Li Yuanqing.

Li Yuanqing quickened his pace and hurriedly chased after the violent wind on the horizon. He did not know how long he had been chasing.

The entire Demon Realm’s huge ground was blown by this violent wind. Under the guidance of the Blood Vine, the Devil King traveled tens of thousands of kilometers.

There was a deserted valley here. The valley was surrounded on three sides, and one side was open on four sides that were roughly equal in length, about ten kilometers long. The stones in the valley were all black, and there was not even a single plant. Even the surrounding mountains outside the valley did not have anything alive.

All of this was lifeless in the valley.

After arriving here, the violent wind dissipated, revealing two figures. The Blood Vine ran forward excitedly and arrived under a withered tree at the entrance of the valley.

There was only this charred dead tree that looked like it had been struck by lightning. The other protruding things were only rocks.
