Every Five Elements Spirit Orb was a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Once gathered together, they would transform into a Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasure.

The Nine-Infant Clan of the demon race was born with control over the powers of water and fire.

That great demon had actually possessed two such treasures, yet they had not been taken from him.

His identity was certainly far from ordinary.

He held no low status within the Nine-Infant Clan.

Then again, one of the demon race's Ten Great Demon Saints was the Nine-Infant Demon Saint.

Could he be connected to it?

Hongxuan remained on guard. If they encountered each other in the future, he would have to be extremely careful.

To avoid any mishaps, he could not stay here any longer.

Before leaving, he had to erase every trace of his aura.

So as not to implicate the Hengshan Tribe.

After finishing everything, Hongxuan activated the Cosmos Reversal Step and sped into the distance.

Heaven Realm.

Demon Celestial Palace.

Dijun and Taiyi were discussing the upcoming war to subjugate the Duke of the East with the demon race's Ten Great Demon Saints.

Suddenly.

The Nine-Infant Demon Saint let out a shrill howl from below, interrupting the meeting.

"Bold Nine-Infant! How dare you behave so improperly before the hall! What crime do you deserve?"

Demon Saint Bai Ze demanded sternly.

Dijun and Taiyi, seated above, also showed displeasure.

The other Demon Saints looked at Nine-Infant in surprise. What madness had gotten into this fellow today?

It was one thing for him to usually act without restraint.

But he dared behave like this even before the Heavenly Emperor and Eastern Emperor. He truly did not know how to write the word death!

Yet the scene that followed utterly shocked everyone.

Nine-Infant spat out a mouthful of blood.

It seemed his mind had suffered a grievous blow.

Dijun's expression changed in alarm at the sight.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi hurriedly took out the Eastern Sovereign Bell, as though guarding against something.

Demon Saint Bai Ze was startled and quickly sent out a stream of mana to stabilize Nine-Infant's injuries.

"Nine-Infant, what exactly happened?"

"My son... Ah... The pain is killing me!"

"Your Majesty, I beg you to grant me leave to go to the Primordial Wilderness and find the culprit who killed my son. I will tear him into ten thousand pieces and destroy both body and soul!"

Nine-Infant said viciously, his tone overflowing with venomous hatred.

The other Demon Saints in the hall were all shaken upon hearing this.

Nine-Infant's son was dead?

They all knew that the Nine-Infant Demon Saint treasured his son beyond measure.

He had even exchanged the merits he had painstakingly accumulated with Dijun for two Top-Grade Innate Spiritual Treasures.

All to protect his son's safety.

Yet even so, he had still received the dreadful news of his child's death.

At once, the other Demon Saints fell silent.

Provoking Nine-Infant now would definitely drive him mad.

Best to avoid him.

Dijun frowned, glanced at Nine-Infant, and said calmly:

"I have already calculated that your son perished together with a Violet Mansion Sword Immortal."

"The whereabouts of the Water-Fire Spirit Pearls are unknown."

"Impossible! How could a mere Violet Mansion Sword Immortal possibly kill my son?"

"Besides, my son had the protection of the Water-Fire Spirit Pearls. Even if he were defeated and badly wounded, his primordial spirit could still escape!"

"It is absolutely impossible for his body and soul to have been destroyed!"

"There must have been an even greater mastermind behind my son's death!"

Nine-Infant instinctively refuted him, his tone firm.

"Bold Nine-Infant! What do you mean by that? Are you saying my elder brother lied to you?"

"Your worthless son has spent all these years cultivating, yet he was still only at the early stage of the Grand Golden Immortal Realm!"

"How many precious resources of our demon race did he waste?"

"If those resources had been used on other geniuses, our demon race would have long gained another Grand Luo Golden Immortal!"

"So what if that useless thing died? He even lost our demon race's Water-Fire Spirit Pearls."

"My elder brother has already shown you mercy by not holding you accountable, yet you still dare act so presumptuously!"

Seeing Nine-Infant dare to disrespect Dijun, Taiyi flew into a rage on the spot.

A mere subject dared offend the Heavenly Emperor's majesty.

He had to be severely punished!

The aura of a late-stage Quasi-Sage instantly bore down upon Nine-Infant.

In an instant, Nine-Infant's face turned deathly pale.

His entire body trembled uncontrollably.

Eastern Emperor Taiyi was a ruthless man.

If Nine-Infant showed even the slightest intention of resistance, Taiyi would likely kill him on the spot.

So what if he was one of the demon race's Ten Great Demon Saints?

Within the demon race, Dijun and Taiyi were the heavens.

Their majesty could not be offended in the slightest.

"Enough, Taiyi. Nine-Infant has just suffered the pain of losing his son, so his mind is inevitably somewhat muddled. His crime does not warrant death!"

His crime did not warrant death!

In other words, he was still guilty.

At once, the other Demon Saints silently mourned for the Nine-Infant Demon Saint for a second.

Yet no one pleaded on his behalf.

Though this fellow was powerful, he was usually bloodthirsty and violent. His relationships were not nearly as good as people imagined.

"Nine-Infant, I will keep a close watch on the whereabouts of the Water-Fire Spirit Pearls."

"However, the fact remains that your son died at the hands of a Violet Mansion Sword Immortal!"

"I hereby appoint you as the demon race's vanguard. Attack the Purple Palace and redeem your crimes through merit!"

"This subject accepts the decree!"

Nine-Infant was somewhat unwilling, but he did not dare resist.

Then he would first destroy the Purple Palace and the Duke of the East before searching for the true culprit.

He had a feeling that the real murderer of his son was definitely not someone from the Purple Palace.

At this moment, Hongxuan had no idea that the Nine-Infant Demon Saint had begun to set his sights on him because of his son's death.

But even if he knew, he would not care.

He had already erased every trace of his movements.

Coupled with concealing the Heavenly Secret, even if Dijun used the Hetu Luoshu, he might not be able to trace it back to Hongxuan.

Ever since creating the divine ability, Grand Destiny Art (Prototype), his understanding of destiny had reached a new height.

He had become utterly proficient at concealing the Heavenly Secret.
