Return to Heavenly Star City

Judging from the current situation, the Old Wolf Emperor's Lifespan has not naturally run out.

Although they were all filled with doubts about the death of the Old Wolf Emperor, they had no clue what to do about it.

The Old Wolf Emperor's Lifespan was limited to these last few years, and no one in the entire Demon Star City had any reason or motive to harm him.

The Wolf King Cangzhu was even less necessary.

He is the only Demon King among the wolf-type Demon Race.

If the Old Wolf Emperor were to provoke him, even if he were a king of his clan, the Demon King Cang Zhu would kill him without hesitation.

Furthermore, the reason for his arrival tonight is not that the Old Wolf Emperor has run out of Lifespan, but rather that he has committed treason and should be executed according to regulations!

Su Bai had no idea what to do for the time being, so he asked, "What is the Wolf Tribe Sacred Coffin Wolf Venerable mentioned earlier?"

This is a top secret of the Wolf Clan, and should be kept from the Human Race.

But for Eight-Foot Madam, Su Bai was naturally an exception among exceptions.

Without hesitation, he recounted the entire story.

Su Bai then realized that this so-called "Wolf Tribe Sacred Coffin" was somewhat similar to the totem of the Sea Tribe.

Both involve ancestors and the same kind of extraordinary [Origin Spiritual Essence].

The sacred coffin of the Wolf Clan can only generate a small amount of Origin Spiritual Essence by being nourished by the corpses of the Wolf Clan descendants of Demon General or higher.

Furthermore, only the single, supreme Demon King of the Wolf Clan could comprehend and utilize this limited amount of Origin Spiritual Essence.

Therefore, whether or not one enters the Wolf Tribe Sacred Coffin has always been voluntary, not mandatory.

The cohesion among the different Wolf Clan is also limited.

Therefore, most of the Demon General Level's powerful Wolf Clan generals chose to be buried in their clan's territory after their deaths.

Another part involves certain conditions, such as entrusting the Demon King with the care and protection of one's clan's descendants after one's death.

Only then would they willingly transform their physical bodies into their Origin Spiritual Essence.

The corpse of the Old Wolf Emperor of the Moon Wolf Tribe.

According to the Wolf King Cangzhu, it must have been enshrined in the sacred coffin and transformed into its Origin Spiritual Essence.

The suspicious point is right here!

Based on the timing of the break in Bloodline connection, it doesn't match up at all.

If he had truly been placed in Spirit Coffin, the Demon Emperor Cang Zhu would have no reason to lie.

The most important condition for Demon General's corpse to enter the Spirit Coffin is that it entered voluntarily during its lifetime!

Only the Spirit Coffin left by our ancestors can decompose and transform.

Otherwise, becoming Demon King would allow one to indiscriminately Slaughter other Demon General, all for the sake of transforming them into that little bit of Origin Spiritual Essence, something the Wolf Clan ancestors would never have wanted.

Considering all the factors, Su Bai came up with the most likely guess:

"The Old Wolf Emperor did indeed die the day before yesterday, but it wasn't because his Lifespan had run out. There was no conflict or grudge between the Old Wolf Emperor and the Demon King Cang Zhu."

"It's highly likely that the Old Wolf Emperor wasn't placed in Spirit Coffin. The idea of Spirit Coffin is merely a cover-up for Old Wolf Emperor ultimate fate..."

Su Bai did not mention these suspicious points.

He first gave Yinyue more Second Tier Pill to follow up, telling him to put the matter aside for the time being and focus on his cultivation.

Eight-Foot Madam was unaffected by the death of the Old Wolf Emperor, but she couldn't help feeling somewhat horrified by the strange circumstances surrounding it, especially towards the Demon King Cang Zhu.

Fear of the unknown is an instinct of all living things in the universe.

This is normal. After calming him down a bit, Su Bai didn't bring up the doubts he had raised.

Although Su Bai knew that given enough time, either Eight-Foot Madam or Yinyue would figure out the suspicious points themselves.

However, if we were to reveal the possibility behind this suspicion now, it would do them no good whatsoever.

This possibility is that, besides the Old Wolf Emperor and the Wolf King Cangzhu, there exists a third party who, under certain conditions, exchanged the Old Wolf Emperor's life for his!

But this was just a fleeting thought that crossed Su Bai's mind after he had sorted out his thoughts.

That being said...

The death of the Old Wolf King was merely a minor incident in Su Bai's trip to Demon Star City.

He certainly wouldn't risk his life to uncover the secrets of a Demon King.

Since Yinyue has strong emotions, he can only hope that he will be qualified to know the truth after his cultivation improves in the future.

After several days of appeasing Eight-Foot Madam, a month had passed.

After organizing the intelligence on Demon Star City he had gathered, Su Bai pondered the death of the Old Wolf Emperor one last time.

They eventually left Demon Star City, reunited with Ancestor Tian Xing, and boarded Spirit Boat to return directly to Heavenly Star City.

On the way, the Ancestor Tian Xing's glances at Su Bai revealed an undisguised admiration.

As an envoy of the Heavenly Star Alliance, he not only successfully facilitated trade with the Merfolk Race, but also resolved the issue of the spirit medicine needed in Heavenly Star City during the transition period.

The Demon Race's targeted attack on the Heavenly Star Alliance was naturally and perfectly neutralized.

Logically speaking, with such a remarkable achievement, the Heavenly Star Alliance should naturally host a banquet to welcome Su Bai back.

In reality, Su Bai was transported directly to the Heavenly Star City, to the Star Gazing Platform, atop the Star Tower, on the Spirit Boat of the Ancestor Tian Xing!

They were preparing to meet with Old Ancestor Heavenly Star directly to report back in person.

"The Alliance Leader will determine your reward this time, but he is currently at a crucial stage in his cultivation, so please wait."

These were the last words the Ancestor Tian Xing spoke when he sent him to the Star Gazing Platform; he left as soon as he finished speaking.

Su Bai returned from his long journey, and waited patiently.

Regarding the elixir of spirit medicine in Demon Star City.

Throughout the entire Heavenly Star Alliance, only a group of Nascent Soul Cultivator and Su Bai's Master True Man He, knew the truth.

The rest of the group had no idea where these suddenly appearing spirit medicine from the Heavenly Star Alliance came from.

There are also rumors that the Heavenly Star Alliance had anticipated that the Demon Race would resort to despicable means and stockpiled the spirit medicine in advance.

Moreover, this rumor seems to be escalating, as if an unseen force is stirring it up behind the scenes.

In reality, these invisible hands were none other than the Ancestor Tian Xing, who carried Su Bai back to Heavenly Star City and took charge of the Heavenly Punishment Platform!

It's not about burying Su Bai's credit; it's entirely about protecting Su Bai.

Lu Jiu of Star Luo Pill Pavilion, as an envoy of the Heavenly Star Alliance, was sent to the Sea Tribe. Those whose cultivation level is close to the Golden Core would know about this.

How could the Demon Race be without news?

During the previous South Sea Alchemy Exchange Conference, Lu Jiu's name had already caught the attention of the Demon Race Higher-Ups, even attracting the Demon King's assassination attempt.

The fact that a pact was made with the Merfolk Race will eventually be known to the Demon Race Higher-Ups Clan.

If the credit for acquiring such a massive quantity of spirit medicine is indeed due to Su Bai's efforts...

The retaliation from the Demon Race that Su Bai will face will be unimaginable.

Even if four or five Demon King were to infiltrate Heavenly Star City to forcibly kill Su Bai, it would be entirely reasonable!

No matter how powerful the Old Ancestor Heavenly Star was in Heavenly Star City, he would eventually make a mistake when facing a large number of Demon King.

When that time comes, the Demon Star Sea will also face a true war between the two races.

This is something Heavenly Star City is unwilling to see for the time being.

Given the combination of various reasons, including the need for Su Bai's safety, this level of secrecy, coupled with a certain degree of misleading rumors, is all necessary.

Su Bai himself naturally didn't care about fame or fortune in this regard.

He was just wondering what kind of reward the Heavenly Star Alliance would offer this time.
