Chapter 1245: Chapter 1245: The Layout of the Nefarious Demon Region! (4/4)
Tranquility.
Sometimes, being calm during an inspection doesn’t make a person void of suspicion, as it depends on the individual’s circumstances.
For others, that might not be incorrect.
But for the Yin Yang Divine Master and the Huang Master under such circumstances, it would be impossible for them to appear overly calm.
Both hold irreconcilable deadly grudges against Blackie.
Seeing Ye Qiubai and his people, including Blackie, have now become so powerful and unrestrictable, their hearts would inevitably be filled with extreme panic.
For instance, when they went to seek peace with Blackie on top of the city wall but were refused, the two Divine Masters actually appeared somewhat flustered.
Now, being inspected by the Dark Domain, it was inevitable they would show some panic or other nervous emotions.
At the very least, they would definitely not appear to be very calm.
Under such circumstances, there were only two possibilities.
First, the Yin Yang Divine Master and the Huang Master had found a stronger backer, someone capable of preserving their lives and their power after the battle ended.
Second… they had something to hide, so they had to feign calmness!
Whichever it was, it was enough to make them suspicious!
Hearing Ning Chenxin’s reminder, Liu Ziru and the Dark Lord exchanged a sudden glance.
A breakthrough had been found!
The Immortal Emperor said with a grave tone, “Take them down immediately! Old Yang, Dark Lord, I’ll leave it in your hands.”
As someone on the brink of the Immortal Ancestor realm, Old Yang capturing two late-stage Divine Masters was still manageable.
Old Yang and the Dark Lord nodded, and in an instant, they vanished from their original spot.
However, before long, they returned to the group.
Seeing Old Yang and the Dark Lord with grim expressions,
The Immortal Emperor immediately guessed and said with a dark face, “They’ve escaped?”
Old Yang nodded, “Judging from the aura in the tent, they left not long ago.”
The Dark Lord speculated, “It seems they are being guided by another mastermind; otherwise, they wouldn’t have left immediately after pretending to be calm. This very act confirms that they have something to hide.”
At the side, the mentor spoke solemnly, “During ancient times, a large reason for the Mortal Realm’s defeat was the Nefarious Demon Region’s subversion of numerous forces. We must not repeat the same mistake in this respect!”
The Dark Lord immediately said, “I will mobilize the entire resources of the Dark Domain to search for clues on the Yin Yang Divine Master and the Huang Master.”
The Immortal Emperor said earnestly, “Find them as soon as possible. If it truly was the mystical imperial guards from the Nefarious Demon Region, they might have already infiltrated the Mortal Realm.”
Liu Ziru expressed his confusion, “But how did they infiltrate?”
Ye Qiubai suddenly thought of Xin Hongyi and said solemnly, “Chess pieces… the Nefarious Demon Region’s hidden pieces in the Mortal Realm. Perhaps among them, there are some mystical imperial guards.”
Once the direction was confirmed, the intelligence forces led by the Dark Domain immediately began searching for clues.
The Yin Yang Sect and the Eight Desolates Divine Sect had by now completely evacuated; whether it was their resources or disciples, all had vanished as if evaporated from the face of the earth.
Simultaneously, a voice spread within the Mortal Realm.
Although the Mortal Realm and the Immortal Realm had successfully withstood four battles, causing the Nefarious Demon Region to suffer, the surviving forces had been depleted too much and were likely incapable of continuing the fight!
This news was fatal to the current state of the Mortal Realm.
The hope that had been accumulated would begin to waver at this moment!
Sometimes, having a glimmer of hope can be terrifying.
But at certain moments, when that glimmer of hope starts to waver… when it even begins to crumble and fall apart, that’s when it becomes truly terrifying!
However, because of the spread of this news, the Dark Domain was also able to pinpoint the existence of several forces.
Among them, there were the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect and the Eight Desolates Divine Sect.
As well as the entity known as the number one chamber of commerce in the Mortal Realm, the Tian Jin Chamber of Commerce…
When they learned of this news, even Ye Qiubai and the others were taken aback.
Shi Sheng’s face was a mask of complexity as he took out a purple-gold token, seemingly lost in thought.
“But now that I think about it, it does indeed seem a bit strange.” Mu Fusheng glanced at Shi Sheng, then said with knitted brows, “After entering the high-latitude region, we stopped hearing anything about the Tian Jin Chamber of Commerce.”
Logically, as the number one chamber of commerce in The Mortal Realm, controlling many resources, the Tian Jin Chamber of Commerce couldn’t possibly have no presence at all in the high-latitude region.
Moreover, after Ye Qiubai and others entered the high-latitude region, they had not seen any trace of the Tian Jin Chamber of Commerce either.
This also rendered the Purple Gold Token useless.
The Dark Lord shook his head and forced a wry smile, “It seems their preparation started earlier than we imagined. Even the Dark Domain failed to notice this.”
Ye Qiubai now asked, “So, where are they now?”
Next to him, Liu Ziru said with a complex expression, “The exact location is unknown, but based on the information we’ve received, it seems that now the Yin Yang Divine Master, Huang Master, and the Tian Jin Chamber of Commerce are all under the command of a lady in red.”
The lady in red.
Ye Qiubai blurted out, “Xin Hongyi?!”
Liu Ziru nodded, “Very likely so.”
While speaking, Liu Ziru spread out a map, “Although there are no definite clues, there are indeed some traces found.”
He then pointed to several red-marked locations on the map, “It’s reported that they have left traces in these star regions recently. We might follow these locations to find where they are now.”
Firstly, there are the Yin and Yang star region and the Eight Desolates star region in the high-latitude region.
Then, there are traces of them in the Demon King Domain as well!
Seeing this, Blackie’s expression tightened slightly.
And then, the trail goes downward.
To the Sky Domain in the Middle Latitude Region and so on…
Apart from the Yin and Yang star region and the Eight Desolates star region, the places where these traces were left seem to be all the places Ye Qiubai and his company had been to before.
Upon this realization.
Ye Qiubai’s expression changed dramatically, suddenly turning to look at Mu Fusheng!
Mu Fusheng’s expression also darkened. “It seems their next target is the low-latitude region.”
Hong Ying nodded, “And it’s very likely in the Boundless Region.”
The Boundless Region.
Once the strongest region of the low-latitude realm.
It was also the homeland of Mu Fusheng, the location of the Boundless Dynasty!
“So, what do you plan to do now?” Liu Ziru asked. “If you go, when the Nefarious Demon Region attacks again, it will likely be hard to defend.”
Ye Qiubai shook his head, “We must go, but we can’t all go together.”
Mu Fusheng said, “I’ll go.”
Blackie and Shi Sheng also stood up.
Seeing this, Ye Qiubai nodded, “Alright then, since that’s the case, the three of you will go.”
By the side, Huang Qian spoke up, “In that case, I might as well go too. I can’t do anything if I stay here anyway; I might as well follow you and see what those remnants from the Nefarious Demon Region are up to.”
The Dark Lord glanced at Liu Ziru only to find that Liu Ziru had already positioned himself next to Mu Fusheng and the others, eliciting a speechless reaction from him.
At that moment, the mentor came forward and said, “Remember to be careful. Their goal might be you… or one of you.”
Mu Fusheng and the others nodded, then quietly departed.
