Unlike Qiao Mo and Qiao Zu who hadn’t returned for several days, this time Tan Hui, who had only just been sent to the mortal world, returned immediately with a report.“It turns out that Xiao Chen managed to escape and is hiding on Earth, Your Majesty,” Tan Hui reported.The response instantly shocked the Demon King, who sprang up from his throne. Every demon present in the hall shared the same shock.“That’s impossible!” the Demon King retorted, his eyes filled with disbelief. “Then who is the one imprisoned?”“I do not know, Your Majesty. That is exactly what I intend to find out.”The Demon King slowly sat back down on his throne, his expression still showing deep astonishment. He occasionally shook his head while mumbling softly.“Are you sure of your report, Tan Hui?”“I am absolutely certain, Your Majesty,” Tan Hui replied firmly.“And what of Qiao Mo and Qiao Zu? Did you encounter them?”“I did not, and I will never see them again, Your Majesty.”The frown on the Demon King’s f

In a short time, they arrived at the village. Li Jie saw four grown men laughing loudly in the middle of the road as they watched the chaos unfold.The young man frowned when one of them conjured fire from his hand and hurled it toward houses that had not yet caught fire. The others followed suit, launching flames just like their companion.They burst into laughter every time their fire hit a target."Stop what you're doing!" shouted Li Jie loudly.The four men halted their laughter and immediately turned around. They were shocked to find a young man standing there, glaring at them. What surprised them even more was that both of the young man’s hands were also glowing with fireballs—just like theirs."Who are you!? Stay out of our business!" one of them snapped."When you make humans suffer, then you’re making it my business, you damn demons!" Li Jie snapped back firmly. His eyes blazed with intense fury.The four men were stunned that the young man had seen through their true identit

 Meanwhile, in a place completely enveloped in blackness, Mao Tung laid Li Jie’s body onto a mat woven.The old man glanced at Jian Ying, who looked devastated by Li Jie's condition. Tears continuously streamed from the corners of her long lashes.“Undress him and clean the blood off his body.”Thud! Mao Tung’s command startled Jian Ying. If she obeyed the elderly man who had just saved Li Jie's life, it would mean she would have to see the young man’s private parts.“Do I have to undress him, Grandpa?” Jian Ying asked hesitantly.“Yes. Why do you look reluctant? Isn’t he your husband?”“All right, Grandpa.” Jian Ying nodded slowly, her heart pounding wildly in anticipation of what she was about to experience.Her long-lashed eyes looked at Li Jie, who lay unconscious on the floor of the small hut. Then she knelt and slowly removed the clothes clingin

 After the pain and heat tormenting his throat subsided, the handsome 20-year-old young man turned his head toward Jian Ying. The pale expression on the beautiful girl’s face had now disappeared, and that gave him a sense of relief.“Let’s rest here for a while! I’m still so curious why all the plants in this place are black,” said Li Jie. He placed both his hands behind his head, using them as a pillow.“There must be something that makes all these plants black. I’m sure there’s a reason behind it,” he continued.Jian Ying could only let out a long sigh. Adventuring with the handsome young man beside her had truly given her an unforgettable experience. The feeling of being so close to death, along with the joy of helping others, had become part of the journey’s seasoning.“Why didn’t you answer my question yesterday?” asked Li Jie, still staring up at the tree abov

 "Who committed this massacre?" Tan Hui asked, his tone sharp enough to terrify the remaining demon soldiers."A young man, Commander," replied the closest demon soldier."A young man? Did he have long white hair and a handsome face?" Tan Hui continued."Yes, Commander. And he wielded a sword of energy that could emit black flames!""How could that be?" Tan Hui was surprised. Could it really be the same young man who had nearly died by his hand?The demon war commander knelt and scooped up a handful of ash from one of his fallen soldiers before rising to his feet again. His expression shifted dramatically as soon as he realized who was behind the slaughter."Mao Tung...! So he really is on Earth," he muttered to himself.Confusion swirled in Tan Hui’s mind. If that young man was indeed Mao Tung in disguise, why had he nearly perished under the pressure of his energy before? Or perhaps... was the young man merely a f
