That was because the Purple Jiao Demon Emperor was currently hiding within Zhou Xun's Spirit Beast Pouch. After all, spirit beasts had originated from demon beasts.
Seven days later, the group finally arrived in the depths of the Land of Ghost Mist, where Tier 4 Ghost Kings had begun to appear.

It was precisely his ocular technique—the Spirit Eye Azure Vision.
