It was very possible that Prince Shaomiao's group did not know that the three people before them had been transformed from Heavenly Demons.

Even so, they had joined forces.

Clearly, both sides had a common goal.

And the key to that goal was the Nine Nether Map Prince Shaomiao had mentioned.

"Interesting. They're colluding with each other, yet guarding against each other at the same time," Su Fang murmured.

He then continued monitoring the conversation between the two groups.

The two sides first exchanged some intelligence, then departed separately.

Seeing this, Su Fang naturally split his attention, continuing to monitor both groups.

On the Heavenly Demon side—

After parting ways with Prince Shaomiao, they immediately began discussing matters.

"Could there be a problem with Prince Shaomiao? Could he have sold us out?"

"No." Demon Eleven, their leader, immediately shook his head in denial. "I can sense that he wasn't lying. He probably doesn't know our secret. Clearly, there is someone else."

"Fine. Then we can only keep searching the residential area and see whether anyone was absent yesterday or acted suspiciously. Then we'll investigate them one by one," one Heavenly Demon said.

Hearing this, Demon Eleven nodded in agreement.

"This method is indeed feasible. And I estimate that before Nineteen died, he definitely unleashed the Heavenly Demon Curse. Once we get close, we'll be able to directly sense the murderer who killed Nineteen."

"Sigh, that's all we can do."

The last Heavenly Demon nodded in agreement as well.

Afterward, the trio of Heavenly Demons left the area and hurried toward the residential district of the Gods and Devils Cemetery.

Meanwhile—

When Su Fang heard that the trio of Heavenly Demons had a way to sense him, he was instantly startled!

"There's an aura on me?"

"The Heavenly Demon Curse?"

Su Fang began recalling that, before the Eighth-Stage Heavenly Demon died, it had indeed cast a curse upon him.

But at the time, Su Fang had thought it was merely an unwilling roar, so he had not paid it any attention.

He had not expected the "Heavenly Demon Curse" to truly be capable of marking his identity.

At that thought, Su Fang felt somewhat uneasy.

He definitely could not return to his residence.

But even so, running into them elsewhere in the Gods and Devils Cemetery would still be extremely troublesome.

Moreover, if Su Fang's guess was correct, the three hidden Heavenly Demons were at least Eighth-Stage Martial Kings.

Being targeted by three Martial Kings would make anyone uneasy.

Thinking of this, Su Fang immediately began examining his body.

Yet after investigating thoroughly, he found nothing unusual, which was rather strange.

"Could the curse mark be branded onto my soul?" Su Fang boldly guessed.

He immediately activated the Soul Art and began inspecting his soul.

After a careful and meticulous search, Su Fang truly discovered an extremely concealed little dot on his soul body.

"Good heavens, there really is a Heavenly Demon Curse, and it's hidden this deeply."

"I'm afraid anyone who isn't proficient in the path of the soul simply couldn't discover it."

Su Fang said with lingering fear.

At the same time, he gained some understanding of the bizarre methods of these Outer Heavenly Demons.

"Next time, I must guard against this carefully," Su Fang muttered to himself.

He then began preparing to remove the curse mark.

He gathered all his soul power, then used the Soul Art to condense it into a beam of white light.

Finally, he poured it onto that black dot and slowly carried out Soul Cleansing.

This continued for quite a while.

Only then did the black dot gradually fade, finally disappearing completely.

Only then did Su Fang let out a sigh of relief.

Just then—

Within the Sky Patrol Monitoring Formation, something also happened on Prince Shaomiao's side.

Seeing this, Su Fang immediately began observing.

Prince Shaomiao, who had returned to his residence, suddenly summoned all the members of his faction.

There were eight of them in total.

Aside from Prince Shaomiao, Brother Meng, and Luo Changqing, whom Su Fang had long known—

The other five were all people Su Fang was seeing for the first time.

First, there was a middle-aged man clad in dynasty attire, along with an elderly man dressed in the same manner.

These two appeared more like Prince Shaomiao's personal guards.

Besides them, there was also a haggard old woman, a brawny bare-chested man, and a cold young man wearing a mask.

Su Fang could not make out the origins of these three, but they did not seem particularly close to Prince Shaomiao.

Once all eight had gathered in the room, Prince Shaomiao took the initiative to speak.

"Everyone, you were originally elites of your respective sects. Because you suffered unfair treatment from your sects, or were framed, you were exiled here."

"Are you willing to remain trapped here for the rest of your lives, unable to leave and unable to take revenge?"

Prince Shaomiao incited them.

Luo Changqing was the first to echo him.

"I'm not willing. I want to get out and make those who framed me pay the price..."

Normally gentle and mild, Luo Changqing seemed like a different person upon mentioning the word "revenge." He clenched his fists and ground his teeth.

Watching this scene through the Sky Patrol Monitoring Formation, Su Fang clicked his tongue in amazement.

Clearly, Luo Changqing's story was more complicated than he had imagined.

Meanwhile—

Pleased by Luo Changqing's response, Prince Shaomiao nodded and continued, "Now, a heaven-sent opportunity lies before us. I did not explain it to everyone in detail before because I was testing you."

"Now that you have all passed my test, I will frankly reveal this secret to you."

"Have you all heard the legend of the Gods and Devils Cemetery?"

"It is said that beneath this vast and boundless cemetery lies the true Tomb of Gods and Devils. What I want to tell you is that this is not a legend, but a real fact."

As he spoke, Prince Shaomiao directly took out the Nine Nether Map in his hand to bolster his credibility.

"This Nine Nether Map records in detail the location of the legendary Tomb of Gods and Devils. This is the heaven-sent opportunity I spoke of."

"One month from now, a Yin Qi Tide unseen in a thousand years will occur in the Gods and Devils Cemetery. At that time, the Nine Nether Cavern will be exposed under the effects of the Yin Qi Tide."

"As long as we find the Nine Nether Cavern, we can reach the Nine Nether Space where the Tomb of Gods and Devils lies. Then we can find the legendary Tomb of Gods and Devils and obtain supreme, immense power!"

Upon hearing Prince Shaomiao's earth-shattering plan—

Not only were the people in the room stunned, but even Su Fang on the other side of the Sky Patrol Monitoring Formation was dumbfounded.

He had not expected Prince Shaomiao's ambition to be so immense.

His sights were actually set on the Tomb of Gods and Devils.

Gods and Devils were transcendent beings said to have broken through the twelfth stage of Martial God, divine beings beyond the mortal world, immortal and indestructible.

Yet Prince Shaomiao actually dared to set his sights on the Tomb of Gods and Devils.

At this moment, even Su Fang, who had always been bold enough to swallow the heavens, felt that this was somewhat crazy—somewhat beyond one's station.
