Zhou Chengyun left a military order instructing Qin Hao to continue leading the army to purge the Demon Race. He dared not delay further and left with a powerful elder who had been secretly protecting him.

When Qin Hao brought Ren Yong to find Zhou Chengyun, he was already gone.

"Commander Qin, Zhou Chengyun, as the battlefield commander, abandoned his troops and fled. This further proves that he is the mastermind behind instructing Liu Chuantian and others!" Ren Yong said.

Qin Hao frowned and said, "Once the battle at Demon Suppression Valley is settled, I will return to the Capital City and report all of this truthfully to Emperor Zhou."

"General Qin, what if Emperor Zhou does nothing?" Ren Yong countered.

The frown on Qin Hao's face relaxed as he said, "Then we will handle it according to the regulations of the Dragon Guard."

On the other side.

He Dong's expression was anxious.

"Dean, still no findings?"

Ouyang Shang was surrounded by brilliant starlight emitted by the stars, continuously using the Taiyin Star Technique and Yu Sheng's Heaven Concealing Secret Technique to deduce Ye Chen's whereabouts.

Ouyang Shang did not immediately respond to He Dong's question.

A moment later.

The starlight around Ouyang Shang dissipated, and he said, "The person... is very likely still alive, possibly having entered the Demon Lair!"

He Dong's eyes widened.

Demon Lair?

How is that possible!

The passage to the Demon Lair has long been blocked by a large number of the Demon Race, and the human race has paid a great price but still could not break in.

Even a few days ago, the legendary powerhouse Ouyang Shang, forcibly led a group of Sect Alliance powerhouses but still failed to enter the Demon Lair.

Ouyang Shang bitterly smiled and said, "At that time, a legendary-level being rescued those from the Celestial Sword Sect, and immediately after, the Demon Emperor couldn't resist entering the fray.

Although I have the assurance of protecting Ye Chen.

But I hadn't told him about these things in advance.

It's very likely, Ye Chen felt his safety was completely unguaranteed, so he used his final trump card to try to leave here.

At that time, the space had shattered.

He should have directly rushed into the void.

The force that shattered the space came from the Demon Emperor, who struck from inside the Demon Lair, thus connecting the void between here and the Demon Lair, Ye Chen very likely accidentally rushed over."

Listening to Ouyang Shang's analysis.

He Dong was dumbfounded!

Ye Chen actually had such a fast trump card?

Rushing into the Demon Lair... It's over, how's that different from death?

In the passage where humans fight to enter the Demon Lair, their strength is somewhat suppressed, difficult to exert fully.

Inside the Demon Lair... human strength is even more severely suppressed!

The Demonic Qi inside the Demon Lair is so dense that even legendary powerhouses are inhibited; Ye Chen entering the Demon Lair, likely can't exert even half his strength.

Even if Ye Chen were in peak condition, entering the Demon Lair is nearly suicidal, not to mention with suppressed strength...

At this moment.

Even Ouyang Shang had a headache.

All along, he, Ouyang Shang, had calculated every move precisely, but this time... he miscalculated!

He could force his way into the Demon Lair, but it would be pointless. The Demon Lair is actually very large; he doesn't know where Ye Chen is and can't rescue him. His Taiyin Star Technique and Yu Sheng's Heaven Concealing Secret Technique cannot deduce Ye Chen's whereabouts inside the Demon Lair.

Searching from place to place... this method is even more impractical, no matter how powerful Ouyang Shang is, especially with the incredibly powerful Demon Emperor within.

"Dean, what can we do now?" He Dong asked powerlessly.

Ouyang Shang said, "Spread the word about what's happened here, make everyone know!

Qin Hao from the Dragon Guard is a tough man; he will investigate thoroughly but will only handle things by the rules. With the methods of the royal family, this event could easily be brushed aside.

Therefore, we must let everyone in the Great Zhou Dynasty know about this, forcing the royal family to act!

Additionally, I will station myself at the entrance to the Demon Lair.

With me there, the Demon Emperor of the Demon Race is bound to guard the passage to the Demon Lair with a large number of powerhouses.

This way, if Ye Chen has indeed entered the Demon Lair, his burden will be much lighter.

Calculating the time.

Yang Tianji should be back soon.

At that time, with Yang Tianji, I will enter the Demon Lair with him to search for Ye Chen!"

......

Demon Lair.

A world beneath the surface.

Everywhere is teeming with rolling, thick Demonic Qi.

A black 'sun' hangs in the air as if an eye watching everything that occurs within the Demon Lair.

A burly Demon Emperor, clad in black armor with a vertical eye on his forehead, had now opened the Nine Nether Demon Pupil!

From the Nine Nether Demon Pupil, a black beam shot out, scanning in all directions.

Just now.

He seemed to sense something passing by him.

He now wants to find that strange thing but cannot find it at all.

"Could it be a delusion?"

The Demon Emperor murmured in the demonic language.

But at his level, he shouldn't have such delusions.

To further confirm, the Demon Emperor suddenly flew toward the black 'sun' hanging high in the sky, merging into it.

Using the black 'sun', the Demon Emperor directly viewed the whole Demon Lair, still finding nothing amiss.

Then immediately.

Some powerful demons flew to the spot where the Demon Emperor was, kneeling on the ground, shouting in the demon race's language: "Emperor, bad news, the human race's Cangxing Martial Arts Academy Dean Ouyang Shang, as well as the Grand Commander of the Dragon Guard Qin Hao, and all those powerhouses, are attempting to invade the Demon Lair."

The Demon Emperor's figure shot out from the black 'sun' in the sky, rushing straight towards the entrance of the Demon Lair!

......

In a small valley within the Demon Lair.

A sword-shaped pendant slowly appeared.

From the sword-shaped pendant, Demonic Qi continuously poured out, completely blending with the environment of the Demon Lair.

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Ye Chen stared at two withered, tree-like legs beside him... somewhat bewildered.

Master Legs is in a miserable state.

The two legs lay on the ground, even the hair on them gone bald.

Usually chattering incessantly when he found the chance, Master Legs now couldn't even utter a whimper.

"Elder Qingyi... Master Legs he..."

Luo Qingyi said, "Overconfident, thought he could escape the erosion of time, but still got corroded by it."

"Will Master Legs die?" Ye Chen asked worriedly.

Though Master Legs was often unreliable, he was actually a good person, with two warm-hearted legs.

"Can't be saved, bury him," Luo Qingyi said.

At that moment.

The two legs on the ground emitted a weak voice: "Still saveable... don't bury..."

Luo Qingyi stepped forward and kicked Master Legs' two legs flying, then looked at Ye Chen and said, "This guy's Heaven-Ascending Step indeed has greatly improved, almost able to contend with time.

He was eroded by time, but not too severely and can recover with some rest.

But you, what do you plan to do now?"

Ye Chen said, "Those people from the Celestial Sword Sect and some pests within the Dragon Guard have been exposed. It's easy enough to trace this back to Zhou Chengyun, but it won't go smoothly, so I'll act accordingly. No matter what, I have to kill that old dog Gu Yue and that little bastard Zhou Chengyun!"

Luo Qingyi glanced at Ye Chen, with a somewhat peculiar look, and said lightly, "First, see where that idiot Tian Can brought you!"

As the words fell.

Luo Qingyi waved a hand.

A special scene appeared before Ye Chen's eyes!
