Upon hearing True Monarch Xuanyuan's words, Ji Haoyuan and True Monarch Baihua exchanged a glance.

The two almost simultaneously responded.

"Senior Brother Xuan Yuan, I'll go with you."

Seeing this, True Monarch Xuanyuan pondered briefly, then looked at Ji Haoyuan and said:

"Junior Brother Nanhua, if I'm not mistaken, your cultivation level has reached around the third level of Nascent Soul, hasn't it?"

"That's correct."

Ji Haoyuan did not deny it and nodded immediately upon hearing.

"Moreover, compared to thirty years ago, my magical combat ability has improved further."

"Very well."

True Monarch Xuanyuan immediately made a decision.

"Then you, Junior Brother Nanhua, shall accompany me to the place where Junior Brother Fu Guang is."

As he spoke, he looked at True Monarch Baihua.

"Junior Sister Baihua, you should stay here and be in charge of overseeing the sect.

Going to where Junior Brother Fu Guang is this time, I have a premonition that things might not be so simple."

This was also the main reason he decisively chose to have Ji Haoyuan accompany him.

After all, over thirty years ago, Ji Haoyuan personally slew True Monarch Bihai.

Such a battle achievement sufficiently demonstrates his strength in the path of magical combat.

Now, over thirty years have passed.

Ji Haoyuan's cultivation has advanced to the third level of Nascent Soul.

Even if he didn't say it, True Monarch Xuanyuan could guess that his ability in magical combat must have improved compared to before.

In comparison, True Monarch Baihua's combat ability is somewhat weaker.

True Monarch Baihua did not insist further but rather advised True Monarch Xuanyuan and Ji Haoyuan to be cautious.

A short while later.

Ji Haoyuan and True Monarch Xuanyuan did not waste any more time, and their figures quickly vanished into the sky above the Demonstration Sect.

More than ten days later.

In the sky about several thousand miles away from the Sang Country's border.

Several streaks of fourth-level magic light burst in the air.

True Monarch Fuguang transformed into a stream of light, flying rapidly ahead.

Behind him, three escape lights tightly pursued.

The owners of the three escape lights were: one from the Five Elements Demon Sect, True Monarch Mo Huo.

Another was a Loose Cultivator from the Southern Wilderness Realm with a fourth-level Nascent Soul cultivation, True Monarch Shangyuan.

And the last one was not a Human Race True Monarch but a Demon King from the Demon Race, a three-zhang-tall Cyan Mountain Wolf King covered in cyan fur, standing upright like a human cultivator.

Judging by the fluctuations from this demon, the divine soul injured by Ji Haoyuan's God-slaying Treasure Gourd on that day had evidently recovered.

Moreover, although its aura hasn't entered the mid-stage Demon King rank yet, it's incredibly close to reaching it.

At this moment, True Monarch Fuguang, flying swiftly ahead, felt the approach of three auras behind him and felt quite anxious.

He couldn't help but shout angrily.

"Mo Huo, Shangyuan, you act as True Monarchs of my Human Race, yet you join forces with a Demon Race Demon King to chase me; aren't you afraid of being labeled as traitors to our race?"

Upon hearing True Monarch Fuguang's reprimand, True Monarch Mo Huo and True Monarch Shangyuan, who were closing in on him, couldn't help but show a trace of disdainful sneer.

"Fuguang, with your cultivation, how could you say something so ridiculous?

Not to mention that currently, the Human and Demon races are not at war; even if they were, as long as this matter remains unknown, how could we be named as traitors to our race?

I advise you, it's wiser to hand over the Cave Abyss Token you hold.

Perhaps, we might spare you if you do so.

Otherwise, True Monarch Fuguang, you might truly fall here today."

Boom!

With these words, True Monarch Mo Huo, True Monarch Shangyuan, and the Cyan Mountain Wolf King attacked simultaneously.

Instantly, a dark red fire cloud enveloped a hundred miles around.

And within this dark red cloud, black whirlwinds rose and howled.

The combination of the two unleashed extremely terrifying might, sweeping towards True Monarch Fuguang.

"Awoooo!"

At the same time.

The Cyan Mountain Wolf King let out a loud wolf howl.

In the void, a tangible sound wave surged forward in a fan shape, striking towards True Monarch Fuguang.

True Monarch Fuguang's heart sank.

His speed in forward flight was forced to slow as he began to evade the attacks coming from behind.

Especially the Cyan Mountain Wolf King's sound wave attack.

This attack specifically targets the divine soul.

If struck by it, the divine soul might be affected, and worse, it could lead to being caught by the two True Monarchs and one Demon.

Ssshhh—

Just as True Monarch Fuguang transformed into light to dodge the Cyan Mountain Wolf King's sound wave attack and was about to use a fourth-level Defense Magic to fend off the dark red cloud and black whirlwinds, a piercing sound came from not far behind him.

Instantly, a dark-colored scythe traversed the distance between True Monarch Fuguang and the attacker, arriving at his close range in a blink!

"What?"

Upon noticing the sudden turn of events behind him, True Monarch Fuguang was shocked.

How could there be someone hiding there all this time?

He hadn't noticed a thing before.

At this moment of sudden attack, it was evident that True Monarch Fuguang couldn't dodge in time.

Bang!

At the crucial moment, a fourth-level Defense Talisman flew out from True Monarch Fuguang.

In an instant, a radiant shield formed.

However, the light transformed from the talisman clearly exhibited limited power.

It blocked the dark-colored scythe for about half a second before shattering abruptly.

Luckily, with that half-second gap, True Monarch Fuguang's figure blinked another hundred miles away.

Turning to look.

He saw that in the place where he had previously stood, there was now a creature of three to four zhang tall, covered entirely in dark black armor with three pairs of black wings on its back, and with scythe-like forelimbs—a insect-like demon race.

"Black Hidden Mantis King!"

True Monarch Fuguang's pupils contracted rapidly.

No wonder he hadn't detected this demon before.

It turned out to be the Black Hidden Mantis King, known for its expertise in stealth and assassination among the insect-like demon race.

In this moment, True Monarch Fuguang felt his mental pressure sharply increase.

He knew that with the Black Hidden Mantis King and the Cyan Mountain Wolf King, these two Demon Kings adept at tracking and speed, there was little hope of completely escaping their pursuit.

Whish! Whish!

Just then, in the distant sky, two sounds of something tearing through the air suddenly arrived.

Soon, two extremely swift escape lights sped towards True Monarch Fuguang.

"Hmm...?"

Noticing this movement, both True Monarch Fuguang and those nearby, including True Monarch Mo Huo and the Cyan Mountain Wolf King, furrowed their brows.

But quickly, a glimmer of joy appeared in True Monarch Fuguang's eyes.

No wonder, as he discovered that the owners of the two escape lights were his fellow sect disciples.

True Monarch Xuanyuan and Ji Haoyuan!

Swoosh! Swoosh!

With the dispersal of escape lights.

There, on both sides of True Monarch Fuguang, appeared the figures of two Nascent Soul cultivators.

It was none other than True Monarch Xuanyuan and Ji Haoyuan!
