In the eyes of the Demon Emperor, the dark light swirled like an unfathomable abyss.

"Chen Ye... Chen Ye... Ye Chen!"

"This must be the doing of Ouyang Shang, the head of the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy!"

"At that time, I saw how fierce the internal struggle among the humans was and planned to kill Ye Chen, but he suddenly disappeared, and I noticed a faint aura passing by in the Demon Abyss."

"Now it seems, Ouyang Shang had long guessed I would take action. He took the opportunity to send Ye Chen in, and then personally applied pressure on us at the Demon Abyss passageway. His purpose in doing so was to create an opportunity for Ye Chen!"

"And Ye Chen must be carrying something given by Ouyang Shang to interfere with the operation of the magic source. The anomaly in the magic source started only after Ye Chen entered the Demon Abyss!"

The Demon Emperor deduced many things in an instant.

But he attributed all these to Ouyang Shang.

After all, no matter how great Ye Chen's talent, he couldn't achieve these alone. Only Ouyang Shang, the Legendary Powerhouse of the human race, the deepest-hidden old fox, could have such means!

At this moment.

Ouyang Shang and Yang Tianji had already found Hu Wenhui.

After hearing Hu Wenhui's account of Ye Chen, Ouyang Shang looked at Yang Tianji and said, "Elder Yang, it's not that I didn't take care... it's that Ye Chen, this lad, has too many ideas... It's even possible that his entering the Demon Abyss wasn't accidental, but that he planned it all along."

Yang Tianji said, "I left a restriction in his sea of consciousness, but unfortunately, the interference of the magic source in the Demon Abyss prevents me from accurately locating him."

"Since the lad knows you're in the Demon Abyss too, he should find a way to meet up. Elder Yang, you also heard from Hu Wenhui, Ye Chen has gone to the Demon City. I suspect he's planning something big. Since we're here, let's cooperate with him this once."

Saying this, Ouyang Shang turned to Hu Wenhui and said, "The Demon Race has fully withdrawn their troops. You can leave safely now. Once outside, say nothing about Ye Chen, as if you never encountered him, understood?"

"Yes, Headmaster."

Then Hu Wenhui left alone.

Ouyang Shang looked at Yang Tianji and asked, "Elder Yang, under this magic source suppression, how much are you suppressed?"

"Thirty percent," Yang Tianji replied.

The magic source was unique and fundamental to the Demon Abyss. Even though Yang Tianji combined spiritual and martial efforts, he was still greatly suppressed upon entering.

"Thirty percent, not bad. I'm suppressed by forty percent." Ouyang Shang said.

Yang Tianji looked at Ouyang Shang in surprise.

Usually, a Heaven-Reaching Realm expert would be suppressed by fifty percent, yet Ouyang Shang was only suppressed by forty percent—quite impressive.

"There should be two Heaven-Reaching Realm figures here, one is the Demon Emperor, the other is the former Demon Emperor, who most likely isn't dead. We're under no pressure; one of us can face one Heaven-Reaching Realm each. However, if Ye Chen truly stirs trouble, his pressure will be significant."

Whether it's Yang Tianji or Ouyang Shang, they're not simple characters. Even if greatly suppressed, they aren't worried about suppressing the Heaven-Reaching Realm of the Demon Race.

But if each of them faces one Heaven-Reaching Realm of the Demon Race, they won't be able to support Ye Chen.

In the Demon Abyss, there are at least dozens of Unity Realm demons.

There are definitely over a hundred Mortal Transformation Realm demons.

Below the Mortal Transformation Realm, there are nearly ten thousand in number!

This pressure is all Ye Chen needs to face.

Yang Tianji snorted and said, "Ye Chen is young, and he messes around, you mess around with him? The priority now is to find him, send him out first, then we come and kill these two Heaven-Reaching Realm demons.

Once those two Heaven-Reaching Realm demons are dealt with, eradicating this Demon Abyss will be much easier."

Ouyang Shang shook his head and said, "I don't think Ye Chen is fooling around. Even Hu Wenhui mentioned that there's something wrong with the magic source in the Demon Abyss. I suspect it's Ye Chen's doing."

"Ouyang Shang, don't talk recklessly about things without basis. Isn't Ye Chen facing enough trouble already?!" Yang Tianji's face darkened, and his tone was icy cold!

This is a serious matter!

If Ye Chen can indeed interfere with the operation of the magic source, publicizing it wouldn't be favorable. For Ye Chen, it would be a disaster!

Within the Great Zhou Dynasty, there's more than one Demon Abyss.

Every Demon Abyss exists based on its magic source.

If Ye Chen can disrupt the operation of the magic source, the Demon Race would go mad trying to kill him.

Moreover, the Great Zhou Dynasty would continually pressure Ye Chen, demanding he join the army to enter each Demon Abyss.

Ouyang Shang chuckled and said, "Elder Yang, don't be so tense. The problem with the magic source here is normal. It's the result of my Taiyin Star Technique combined with Elder Yang's spiritual and martial unity, along with the right time and place. In the end, it's our issue, not to involve Ye Chen.

If we can truly eradicate this Demon Abyss, the credit must be attributed to Ye Chen.

He has too many troubles!

Getting him a great military merit as a badge of protection.

You know, the Zhou Emperor, though seemingly obstinate, has his limits. He might let some chaos happen now, but he's actually keeping tabs on everything.

With Ye Chen bearing military merits, gaining the people's support, even the Zhou Emperor won't be able to play dumb anymore.

Of course, this depends on whether Ye Chen can truly affect the magic source. Otherwise, creating military achievements out of thin air could backfire."

Just as Ouyang Shang finished speaking.

Yang Tianji suddenly looked into the distance, his eyes flashing with cold light!

Towards the direction of the Demon City.

A gigantic figure stood towering.

The demonic power was extraordinarily strong, enveloping the entire Demon Abyss!

"Stop immediately, anyone who continues will die!"

The Demon Emperor, exerting his might, personally stepped out to stop the chaos in the Demon City.

Ye Chen, hidden in the shadows, felt a wave of relief, thankful that he hadn't acted further, otherwise he might have been discovered.

When acting, power tends to spill, while when inactive, it's much safer.

Ye Chen noticed a powerful spiritual force sweeping over him.

Clearly, the Demon Emperor was searching for him!

Moments later.

This spiritual force dissipated.

Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that even the strongest of the Demon Race couldn't see through his disguise without close proximity.

However.

Ye Chen's heart tensed up again immediately.

He saw the Demon Emperor's figure suddenly shrink, transforming into a height of over two meters, then heading toward the magic source in the sky.

The other demons had to pass through the palace restriction in the Demon City to enter the magic source, but the Demon Emperor didn't. He could freely enter the magic source, using its power to monitor the entire Demon Abyss!

If the Demon Emperor uses the power of the magic source to search, Ye Chen wasn't confident he'd avoid detection. Just as Ye Chen planned to hide in the Sword Tomb, suddenly, in the sky of the Demon Race, appeared a Great Sun and a Bright Moon!

The Great Sun radiating splendor, flames blazing.

The Bright Moon radiant, illuminating like Jianghai.

Then, in the light of the sun and moon, Ye Chen saw the silhouette of Yang Tianji!

His mentor, a Legendary Powerhouse of spiritual and martial unity, clasping the sun and moon with both hands, bearing immense brilliance, instantly charging to the Demon Emperor who was about to enter the magic source, with the sun and moon in his hands, striking the Demon Emperor!
