The Vanished Holy Spirit Demon Emperor
Zhou Huan was speechless, but he still raised his right hand, and an invisible divine force instantly pulled Lan Fozi up.
What's the meaning of a girl kneeling in front of you in the office?
Zhou Huan looked at Lan Fozi and said seriously, "Speak properly and tell me what happened first."
With teary eyes, Lan Fozi replied, "Senior, my name is Lan Fozi, and I am the daughter of the Demon Empress. A little over a month ago, a human Soul Master named Dai Huabin suddenly appeared at the North Sea Demon Palace. He claimed to be the Holy Son of some Holy Spirit Cult, and he wanted to kill my mother. During the battle with him, my mother sent me out to Demon Shark Island. It was the chieftain of Demon Shark Island who told me that only you have the ability to help me, so I came."
Lan Fozi used the fewest words possible to explain what had happened.
But to Zhou Huan, this sounded rather strange.
Xiao Bai's implication was that he wanted Lan Fozi to come to him and tell him the news, which didn't surprise Zhou Huan. However, the fact that the Demon Empress would send Lan Fozi to Demon Shark Island for help was surprising.
What kind of thought process does this Demon Empress have?
Is that so unusual?
Or does she believe that Demon Shark Island can directly contact him and rescue her?
If that's the case, then the Demon Empress is really overthinking things.
Or perhaps the Demon Empress knew he couldn't defeat the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor, so he only wanted to protect Lan Fozi?
And the only person who could protect Lan Fozi was probably Zhou Huan, at least that's what the Demon Empress thought.
Thinking of this, Zhou Huan shook his head and stopped pondering it.
Anyway, more than a month has passed. The Demon Empress has either escaped from the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor or died a gruesome death.
As for the idea that the Demon Empress could kill Dai Huabin or the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor, Zhou Huan felt that it was completely impossible.
How could a Half-god possibly kill the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor, who had been resurrected countless times?
Therefore, Zhou Huan looked at the pale-faced Lan Fozi and sighed slightly, "You should understand that so much time has passed, there's really no point in you coming to me for help, right? Why did you come?"
Upon hearing this, Lan Fozi replied with unwavering determination, "I have no other choice. As long as there is even a glimmer of hope, I cannot give up."
Zhou Huan glanced at Lan Fozi quietly for a few moments, thinking to himself, "This girl really doesn't seem like the Demon Empress's daughter."
In truth, Zhou Huan didn't care about the Demon Empress's life or death. They were not related by blood, and besides, the Demon Empress was no good person; just look at the Holy Spirit Cult she ran.
However, this matter involves the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor, so Zhou Huan thought for a moment and said, "Let's go, I'll take you somewhere first."
Then, Zhou Huan looked at Lan Luoluo, who was eating sunflower seeds, and smiled, "Luoluo, I have a class later, can you go and teach it for me? You're the Class Advisor anyway."
Before Lan Luoluo could react, a gentle breeze swept by, and Zhou Huan and Lan Fozi disappeared from the office.
Lan Luoluo was left stunned. After a long while, she angrily cursed, "... Damn captain, skipping work again!"
But who can be blamed? He brought the person back himself, and he was the one who ate the sunflower seeds.
Lan Luoluo could only go and fill in for him, speechless.
Instead of heading directly to the North Sea Demon Palace with Lan Fozi, Zhou Huan went to the Lake of Life and told Gu Yuena about the Demon Empress and the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor.
Unsurprisingly, the next moment, Zhou Huan, Gu Yuena, and Lan Fozi headed together to the North Sea Demon Palace.
But now, the North Sea Demon Palace is gone, not even ruins remain, let alone the palace itself.
Because the Demon Palace was the source of the great war between the Demon Empress and the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor, and because of the resulting underwater volcanic eruption, this place has been completely submerged by seawater.
If Lan Fozi hadn't confirmed that this was indeed the location of the North Sea Demon Palace, no one would have guessed that this place was once the residence of the Deep Sea Demonic Whale King.
Looking at her home, now completely empty, Lan Fozi fell silent, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew that in this situation, her mother was probably in grave danger.
Zhou Huan couldn't really offer any words of comfort to the Demon Empress's daughter, who was simple-minded and even overly naive, because they weren't familiar with each other, and besides, the Demon Empress wasn't exactly a benevolent person.
Ignoring Lan Fozi, Zhou Huan looked at the equally silent Gu Yuena and asked, "How is it? Can you sense the aura of the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuena nodded slightly, then shook her head. "There is indeed a trace of the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor's aura here, very weak, but detectable. However, that's all. We can't find the direction or location where the aura disappeared; he's too good at hiding."
Looking at the vast ocean, Zhou Huan sighed, "This Demon Emperor certainly knows how to choose a place."
The ocean area of Douluo Star is vast, more than twice the size of its land area.
Even if Zhou Huan and Gu Yuena could freely travel to any place on Douluo Star, they still wouldn't be able to find a well-hidden Holy Spirit Demon Emperor in such a vast ocean.
It's like saying you can be very fast, but that has no causal relationship with whether you can find a needle in a haystack.
Moreover, this needle can also become invisible.
Unless Zhou Huan and Gu Yuena evaporate this ocean, but that would be no different from destroying Douluo Star.
Furthermore, the ocean teems with Sea Soul Beast, making it the perfect training ground for the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor. The blood of so many Soul Beast is incredibly nourishing.
In particular, the fact that the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor chose the strongest Sea Soul Beast, the Demon Empress, as his first target shows that even though he had just been resurrected, his strength was not weak, and there was no way any other Sea Soul Beast could defeat him.
Therefore, the ocean clearly became the best place for the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor to recover his strength.
After a moment's thought, Zhou Huan said, "How about we join forces and use our divine sense to investigate little by little? It's like finding a needle in a haystack, but what if we stumble upon something?"
Gu Yuena shook her head slightly. "It's no use. The Demon Emperor's concealment techniques are very strong. I even suspect that the faint aura here was deliberately left behind by him."
Zhou Huan: "... Okay." Actually, he was just saying that. Trying to search the entire ocean bit by bit with his divine sense would be quite tiring, and it would likely be a waste of time.
Forget it, let Gu Yuena worry about the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor.
Then, Zhou Huan looked at Lan Fozi, who was sorrowful and silent, and couldn't help but sigh. She said, "Sister Gu Yue, I think we should leave Lan Fozi in your care from now on. It's not safe for her in the sea."
Gu Yuena glanced at Lan Fozi as well, but didn't say anything. She just nodded. They were all Soul Beast, and although they were Sea Soul Beast, it wouldn't hurt to offer them some protection. Moreover, the Deep Sea Demon Whale was also a powerful Soul Beast.
Following that, Zhou Huan continued, "The Holy Spirit Demon Emperor has most likely chosen the ocean as his place of recovery and recuperation. If you want to find him, you'd better contact the various Sea Soul Beast. After all, to them, the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor is a sword hanging over their heads, and they should be able to easily obey you. If all else fails, just beat him into submission; after all, you all value strength above all else."
Gu Yuena looked at Zhou Huan and asked, "You seem to know the Demon Soul Great White Shark Clan, right?"
Zhou Huan: "... I could introduce them to you, after all, you are the Master of Soul Beasts. And now the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor is your common enemy."
Unable to find the Holy Spirit Demon Emperor, Zhou Huan thought that facilitating an alliance between Gu Yuena and Demon Shark Island wouldn't be a bad idea. He figured Xiao Bai wouldn't object to the mighty Silver Dragon King.
After all, Gu Yuena is an incarnation of the Dragon God, and the Dragon God can be considered the spiritual leader of all Soul Beast.
The three then traveled together to the East Sea Demon Shark Island.
