When news of the disturbance at Chaos Cliff in the Demon Realm reached Demon Emperor Hua Wu, she summoned Xun Kun. After he read the message jade slip, she asked directly:
"Xun Kun, was this disturbance caused by Liao Ziqian?"
Not long ago, Xun Kun had used Liao Ziqian's Soul Lamp to pinpoint the general area where he was hiding, which happened to be near Chaos Cliff. However, so as not to alert him and to allow Liao Ziqian, whose body had been possessed by the Evil God, to gather all of the Evil God's Followers, they had only stationed people outside Chaos Cliff to keep watch and had not investigated further.
Aside from Yunxi and Xun Kun, Hua Wu, Baili Yanque, Menglan Jun, and Ku'e all knew of this matter. Everyone had chosen to silently monitor Liao Ziqian's movements, waiting until the time was ripe to deal him a fatal blow. And now that Liao Ziqian was hiding within the Demon Realm, Demon Emperor Hua Wu had been keeping a close eye on anything related to him.
The moment she received the news today, she was certain that something had gone wrong on Liao Ziqian's end, but she still summoned Xun Kun to confirm it.
After reading the message jade slip, Xun Kun did not immediately give an answer. Instead, he took out Liao Ziqian's Soul Lamp, formed a hand seal, and began a meticulous investigation. Only after five breaths did he withdraw his technique and look toward Hua Wu, seated above.
"Demon Emperor, Liao Ziqian's Soul Power has weakened further. The Evil God must have used a secret technique to strengthen that strand of soul again."
Demon Emperor Hua Wu's gaze darkened when she heard this.
"We cannot continue allowing the Evil God's remnant soul to grow stronger.
