"There are hidden passages in the void of the Nine Heavens."
Well... that really wasn't impossible.
The Nine Heavens had flourished for countless years, after all. Every nook and cranny had changed hands countless times over those millions upon millions of years. It wasn't impossible that some void passage left by a predecessor still functioned, and that a cultivator or demon possessed by a Heavenly Demon happened to be a descendant who knew about it.
The Heavenly Origin World was simply too vast. No matter how wondrous something that happened on this continent might be, it hardly counted as wondrous.
Why, Yun Qing could even be an Immortal Emperor's older brother.
Yun Qing, the Immortal Emperor's older brother, crouched and touched a finger to the ground. His Double Pupils revealed a faint wisp of dark-red residual aura.
"To determine which direction the malignant aura went, I'm afraid we'll have to trace it back to its source."
The Dragon Lord and Phoenix Lord exchanged a glance. Soon, a great demon behind them spoke:
"The first place we discovered demonized Demon Beasts was Green Mountain Nether Marsh in the Demon Court."
Yun Qing nodded. "I'll take a look."
If this trail really stretched all the way from Green Mountain Nether Marsh to the Nine Heavens, clearer traces were very likely still lingering there.
"Zui, stay in Cloud Firmament Heaven with Shuanghua for now. I'll take the elders to the Demon Court."
Yun Qing gathered the Yun Clan Elders and was about to set off.
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly snapped his folding fan shut and looked at Yun Zui.
"Zui."
Yun Zui was holding her wine flask, checking how much wine remained. Hearing Feng Jiuxiao call her, she looked up questioningly.
"Hmm?"
Feng Jiuxiao still wore his male form, dressed in a crimson-and-gold robe.
