Star Lord's Trail, Affairs in the Eastern Continent

Within the territory of the Western Continent, there is Yangshan County.

The morning sunlight streamed down upon the earth, illuminating the buildings and scenery below.

On the slightly chilly street, an elderly man in a long gown, wrapped up very tightly, walked hurriedly, clearly having received some news and wanting to leave the area as soon as possible.

Suddenly, he stopped in his tracks, slowly raised his head, and stared intently at the figure blocking his way.

On the wide, quiet street, the man in blue who should never have been there was smiling at him, "..."

"My lord? What are you doing here? Weren't you already...?"

The elderly man in the long gown looked bewildered, his voice growing weaker and weaker, as if he couldn't quite grasp the situation.

After all, even the Snake God Seal planted in his own body had quietly vanished without a trace yesterday, leading the old man to believe that such a powerful being had also met with misfortune, which is why he wanted to flee Western Continent as soon as possible.

But now it seems that's not the case.

This is quite normal. Even the Palace Master of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace couldn't do it, so who in the current Western Continent Heavenly Supervision Department could?

The elderly man in the long gown immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "You really scared me to death! I thought..."

Before the words were even finished, a clear, invisible streak of snake venom swept over.

Pfft!

The old man in the long robe instantly dissolved into nothingness, leaving not a trace of flesh or blood, turning into a clear, water-like remains. His eyes, in the final moments of his life, were filled with bewilderment and fear.

But he couldn't even let out a scream.

True Lord Tengshe withdrew his palm, bowed respectfully towards the void, and in an instant, the space around him distorted, and a young man in white robes took his place.

This is what is known as the "Rook Exchange".

This was also the first time Ye Li had used this Divine Ability, and it was indeed a very convenient means to coordinate with the itinerary.

It should be noted that the Great Demon Lords and the Western Continent have been facing each other across the river for tens of thousands of years. Even the most foolish demon should know the importance of planting spies.

Removing them one by one would be too time-consuming.

Moreover, these Demon Race spies are all penniless in terms of their Malice Points, with the highest level being only at the Divine Connection Realm.

It is said that it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to

After tasting the delicacies of the four great Great Demon of creation, Ye Li had already labeled the Divine Connection Realm as "unworthy" in his mind.

But killing is definitely necessary.

After all, after a satisfying round of skill point upgrades, his newly replenished Malice Points have dried up again, and he urgently needs new resources to replenish them.

Then whoever planted the informants or spies must deal with them themselves.

This way, Ye Li's actions won't be delayed, and he can also earn some harmless extra money on the side.

Yangshan County is one of the largest counties closest to the Western Continent border.

If you want to provide timely assistance to the two Martial Dao True Lords who have chased out of the territory and slain the Great Demon, the headquarters of the Heavenly Supervision Department here would be a suitable waiting place.

At this moment, inside the Yangshan Heavenly Supervision Department.

As the current Director of the Celestial Observatory of the Astronomical Bureau of the Western Continent.

After several days of eager anticipation, the old man Zhong Yu finally met Jiang Minghuang, the Palace Master of the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace, here first. "Palace Master Jiang, it's been a long time."

"We still don't know how this trip went. Have those five Great Demon made any noteworthy disturbances?"

Despite his rather polite greeting, the Divine Phoenix True Monarch's tone remained as cold as ever, but the words that came from his lips were utterly unfamiliar:

"Let's talk about it when Lord Ye returns."

As she spoke, she sat down behind a table in the hall, hesitated slightly, and then said, "There's not much to say. He was the one who mainly carried out this operation."

Zhong Yu's eyelids twitched as she listened.

Although he had long heard that Elder Ye had defeated Jiang Minghuang in the Blazing Heaven Flame Palace, he really did not expect that the other party could be suppressed so subdued by this Divine Phoenix True Monarch.

Even the adults were called upon...

Zhong Yu was secretly amazed, but a smile appeared on her face, "I see. Then I wonder when Elder Ye will be able to arrive here?"

"Now."

A clear voice came from outside the hall.

Ye Li stepped into the hall at the opportune moment, Jiang Minghuang immediately got up to greet him, leading him to sit in the main seat. She even bent down to pour the tea that the servants had brought earlier.

Zhong Yu's eyes showed a slight astonishment.

Ye Li ignored his reaction, casually picked up his teacup, and spoke to Jiang Minghuang, who was waiting quietly beside him:

"As for the details of this trip... just tell the Director of Director of the Celestial Observatory directly."

The Divine Phoenix True Monarch nodded obediently, then turned to look at Zhong Yu and said calmly:

"Simply put, there are actually only four Demon Lord outside the Western Continent. The fifth one is a false rumor they created through their combined Divine Ability."

"I see." Zhong Yu snapped out of her daze, barely suppressing the shock in her heart, and forced a smile:

"I myself found this matter quite strange before; how could it be..."

"But none of that matters now."

Jiang Minghuang abruptly interrupted Zhong Yu's speech, her voice booming. "Because those four Demon Lords have all been killed by Elder Ye, and their corpses have been completely disposed of by me."

"There are no more so-called Demon Lord outside the Western Continent now."

"The Abyss of Gods and Demons outside the borders are now unclaimed territory. Trouble if the Western Continent could send some diplomatically skilled representatives to handle this matter."

Zhong Yu's hand, which was stroking his beard, trembled suddenly.

His first reaction was that he was dreaming, or that Jiang Minghuang in front of him was talking nonsense.

But he dismissed all such possibilities with remarkable speed.

Zhong Yu turned her head slightly stiffly, looked at the boy's fair face, and couldn't help but ask, "Is what the elder said true?"

"Um."

Ye Li nodded slightly; he was actually no longer interested in the topic and just wanted to move on quickly.

So, he tapped his fingers lightly on the table, directly changing the subject, and asked:

"Lord Zhong, where is Lord Ying Star Lord now?"

Given Ying Xuanji's current status, she should be waiting for the two of them to return from slaying demons in the Western Continent.

But it has never been found.

This is very unusual.

Such unusual signs usually indicate that an unexpected situation has occurred.

Ye Li is currently lacking a suitable target to test his skills on.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Yu's expression immediately turned serious. "It was my dereliction of duty. I should have told you about this immediately."

Since the other party left Western Continent, the Star Lord Ying has been constantly gathering information from all sides within the Western Continent, which shows that he has received instructions from the other party.

This situation continued until the early morning of three days ago.

After leaving a letter for the old man to pass on to Ye Li, the man left the place directly.

My thoughts have reached this point.

Zhong Yu carefully considered her words before speaking, "To be honest, just three days ago—"

"Something has happened in the Eastern Continent."
