Someone else has arrived.

Lu Jian, Su Sheng, Ghost Husband, and Wu Kuang were all sect leaders from top sects in the mortal realm.

They could be considered the four most powerful cultivators in the human world!

They were just one step away from breaking through their current realm and ascending to become immortals!

There was only one reason that could gather these four individuals in one place: a promise made to them by a certain Excellency from the upper realm.

If they could capture Luo Ruying and her daughter, who had escaped from the Celestial Realm, not only would they be helped to ascend to the Celestial Realm, but they would also be directly invited to join them!

Being able to join such a powerful force immediately after ascending to the Celestial Realm was the best temptation imaginable.

They had already obtained information about Luo Ruying and her daughter.

Luo Ruying was once an empress in the Celestial Realm, but she was now severely injured, and her cultivation had fallen below the Human-Celestial Realm.

To the four of them, who were the top powers in the mortal realm, this was an easy task with no difficulty at all.

"Let's go, let's finish this quickly."

"It would be best if the target cooperates, but if she doesn't, we'll just kill her."

"Remember, that girl cannot be killed. She needs to be brought back alive."

Lu Jian's expression was stern, and he was the first to transform into a divine rainbow, speeding towards the depths of the Demon Realm forest.

Dealing with someone in the Human-Celestial Realm was incredibly simple for him.

The other three exchanged glances, revealing smug smiles, and transformed into divine rainbows to chase after him.

A moment later, Lu Jian and the other three arrived at the depths of the Demon Realm forest.

Even on the outskirts of the Demon Realm forest, they could sense a large number of demonic beasts, and from time to time, some suicidal demonic beasts would attack them.

Strangely, after reaching the depths of the Demon Realm forest, they didn't find a single demonic beast.

The depths of the Demon Realm forest were known as the territory of a hundred Demon Kings, and anyone who entered would surely die!

Yet, now, they hadn't even seen a single Demon King.

The silence was too abnormal...

Lu Jian and the other three hovered in mid-air, their gazes scanning the surroundings of the Demon Realm forest, but there was no sign of anyone.

"Old Ghost, quickly use your Ghost Infant Puppet to track the target's specific location."

Lu Jian frowned and requested of Ghost Husband beside him.

Without a specific location, it would be extremely difficult to find two people in the depths of the Demon Realm forest.

Ghost Husband's ugly face contorted into a fawning smile, and he said sheepishly:

"My Ghost Infant Puppet can only sense the general vicinity; I don't know the exact location..."

"Tsk! The Ghost Infant Puppet, which is said to be able to track souls for thousands of miles, is nothing more than this."

Su Sheng clicked his tongue and said disdainfully.

Ghost Husband merely offered a wry smile and didn't retort.

Wu Kuang ignored the others. Seemingly having discovered something, he flew down into the forest and found a patch of dry blood on some leaves.

He was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood. Even the slightest scent of blood could not escape his nostrils!

As soon as he arrived, he had vaguely smelled a different kind of blood scent.

Wu Kuang directly plucked the blood-stained leaves and put them into his mouth to savor them carefully, his expression gradually becoming excited.

"As expected of the blood of an upper realm celestial maiden, it tastes so different!"

"This taste truly makes me thirsty and restless!"

Seeing Wu Kuang's excited and fanatical appearance, Lu Jian and the others all showed looks of disgust.

It was rumored that this guy was addicted to drinking blood, especially the blood of the strong. Every time he killed someone, he would drink their blood...

However, it was precisely because of him that they finally found Luo Ruying's trace!

At least one thing was certain: that woman was definitely hiding in this Demon Realm forest.

Once this was confirmed, finding her would only be a matter of time!

"Let's split up and search!"

"Whoever finds her first will release a signal."

Lu Jian said to the other three.

Although the other three were displeased with Lu Jian giving them orders, they didn't say much and silently separated.

After all, the command from the Excellency in the upper realm was more important.

If they failed to bring Luo Ruying and her daughter back, not only would they be unable to ascend to the Celestial Realm, but they might even be annihilated for angering that Excellency from the upper realm!

In a certain cave, Chaos Bull Demon, Titan Giant Ape, and Sky Swallowing Python silently watched as Lu Jian and the other three separated.

"More people have arrived..."

"To be so brazen and charge through my Demon Realm forest like this, it's simply too much!"

"Should we go deal with those people?"

The Titan Giant Ape resentfully suggested to the other two.

"Are you crazy?!"

"What if they're also people of that Excellency?"

"How Xuan Lin died, you saw it yourself...!"

The Sky Swallowing Python said with a look of terror.

Every time she recalled Ning Yechen's face, she couldn't help but tremble all over...

The Chaos Bull Demon and the Titan Giant Ape also fell silent.

If it were a hundred years ago, they would have definitely gone up and killed those people without hesitation!

But now, they didn't dare to take the risk...

It wasn't because they feared those four, but because they feared that Excellency...

"Never mind, let's just pretend we didn't see anything..."

"Exactly, come on, let's play cards!"

"Mhm, okay..."

The Chaos Bull Demon and the other two, in complete agreement, slung their arms around each other and walked back into the cave.

Demon Kings were always at odds with each other when competing for territory, who would have thought that three Demon Kings would be able to get along so harmoniously...

Meanwhile

After parting ways with Lu Jian and the others, the Ghost Husband flashed a cunning smile, immediately and secretly took out the Ghost Infant Puppet, and sped off in the direction indicated by the puppet's gaze.

His Ghost Infant Puppet could naturally track the specific location!

The reason he didn't tell Lu Jian and the other two was, of course, to monopolize the credit!

If he could capture Luo Ruying and her daughter by himself and hand them over to that Excellency from the upper realm, he would definitely receive generous additional rewards!

He might even get to enjoy the dream of ascending to the Celestial Realm all by himself!

At that time, destroying the other three major sects would be as easy as turning his hand!

Thinking of this, the Ghost Husband couldn't help but feel his mouth splitting into a grin.

Not long after, the Ghost Husband's expression tensed, and he stopped in his tracks, looking ahead, slowly extending his withered palm.

His palm seemed to press against a completely transparent and invisible pane of glass, unable to advance an inch further.

A barrier...!

"Jie jie jie, found you~"

The Ghost Husband tilted his head, a smile of excited joy appearing on his face.

Since a barrier was set up here, it meant she was inside!

This small barrier wouldn't be able to stop this old man's progress~

Thick black liquid surged from the Ghost Husband's palm pressed against the barrier.

The black liquid flowed down the barrier, and the barrier screen was instantly eroded by the black liquid as if it were melting, creating a large hole!

The Ghost Husband crossed the barrier without any effort, not even making a sound.

He had to hurry before those idiots Lu Jian and the others discovered him!

At this moment, Ning Yechen, who was playfully teasing Luo Hongye in the wooden house, suddenly frowned, revealing an unhappy expression.

Why are more people coming...!

And they even damaged the barrier my wife painstakingly set up!

Doesn't he know the thing he hates most right now is people disturbing his time with his wife and children!
