Chaos.
Inside Zixiao Palace.
Hongjun had not been idle these past days.
What he had been doing, however, had nothing to do with the Investiture of the Gods.
Hongjun had already made the arrangements for the Investiture of the Gods.
All that mattered was filling the Investiture of the Gods List.
Although the Interception Sect harbored an unpredictable factor, Hongjun had no time to deal with it yet.
He had another matter to attend to.
Tracking down... demonic qi!
It had begun with that book, "The Origin of the Devil Dao." Within it, Hongjun had sensed exceptionally pure and powerful laws of the Devil Dao.
Moreover, those laws were far from weak.
That was enough to prove that whoever commanded them possessed tremendous strength as well.
At the very least, Hongjun felt that this person was not much weaker than himself.
And someone with such formidable power in the Devil Dao was lurking within the Primordial World.
That made Hongjun pay very close attention.
He recalled the Demon Ancestor of old.
He even...
Suspected that the Demon Ancestor might still be alive.
Naturally, Hongjun took that possibility very seriously.
But after investigating for a long time, he still had no leads.
At that moment.
He made a calculation on his fingers, considering Jiang Ziya's identity.
It would soon be time to reveal it.
But no one should have made contact with him yet, right?
He performed a divination.
Finding nothing amiss, he set his mind at ease.
At that moment.
Xiqi.
The atmosphere in Xiqi had been somewhat unusual these past few days.
Especially at the Earl of the West's residence.
An inexplicable tension hung over it.
The guards were on high alert.
And whenever any news concerned the young master, Ji Fa, everyone became extremely sensitive.
Because of this.
