"Ancestor, still no luck?"
Xuan Kongzi looked solemnly at the Pill Tower Ancestor, who shook his head slightly and answered in a deep voice.
"I can't sense the existence of the Demonic Flame Space at all."
Hearing the Pill Tower Ancestor's answer, not only Xuan Kongzi but everyone else's expressions turned ugly as well. Cai Lin stood silently where she was, raising her head to stare at the empty sky. Her fists tightened slightly, her heart filled with worry.
At that moment, the Pill Tower Ancestor continued.
"But you needn't worry too much. Little Friend Xiao Yan has the Fragmented Map left behind by the Netherworld Demon Sage. He should be alright."
As he spoke, the Pill Tower Ancestor lifted his head and murmured quietly in his heart.
Old friend. I wonder whether this junior can make you feel at ease?
Just as Xiao Yan and the others had guessed, the Pill Tower Ancestor's appearance before them when they were about to enter the Demonic Flame Space had not been a coincidence. It had been deliberate.
Every time Demon Fire Descent occurred, the Pill Tower Ancestor had watched from the sidelines. Yet every person he had seen had acted solely for the power of the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
Only Xiao Yan—only Xiao Yan this time—was an exception. It was precisely because of Xiao Yan's extraordinary character that the Pill Tower Ancestor had appeared in person and guided him step by step before the Purifying Demonic Lotus Flame.
Hopefully, this time, it can truly end. The Pill Tower Ancestor narrowed his eyes slightly, sorrow filling them. I can no longer wait another ten thousand years for this promise.
At this moment, Xun'er was also filled with hesitation as she prayed inwardly.
Brother Xiao Yan. You all must return safely.
