"Senior Wan Yang!"
True Monarch Lan Ling hastily bowed. "I didn’t expect your esteed presence at our Valley of Ten Thousand Demons. May I know the reason for your visit?"
True Monarch Wan Yang looked down at the two.
"I am here to find soone."
True Monarch Wan Yang’s voice was cold and ruthless, piercing like icy blades, "Where is Yan Ruchen?"
Hearing Junior Brother Yan’s na, True Monarch Lan Ling felt a sudden chill, a sense of foreboding flooding her heart.
For such a figure as True Monarch Wan Yang to personally seek Junior Brother Yan, and with such an ominous tone, it could not be anything good.
Countless possibilities flashed through her mind:
Did Junior Brother Yan offend the Heaven-Suppressing Sect?
Or was it due to so other reason?
No matter the cause, it did not bode well for Junior Brother Yan.
Lan Ling revolved her thoughts endlessly, pondering how she should respond.
She wished to conceal sothing for Xu Ping, but before an existence like True Monarch Wan Yang, any lie could be easily exposed.
Moreover, many in the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons knew about Xu Ping’s departure, so hiding it held no aning.
"In reply to Senior,"
True Monarch Lan Ling took a deep breath, striving to keep her voice calm, "Junior Brother Yan... has gone out."
"Gone out?"
True Monarch Wan Yang’s brows slightly furrowed, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
So coincidental?
He had just co upon the news and arrived, yet the person was conveniently away?
"How long has he been out and when will he return?" True Monarch Wan Yang continued to question, his tone tinged with impatience.
"He has been gone for over a month now."
True Monarch Lan Ling answered truthfully, "As for when he’ll return... Junior Brother Yan did not specify a definite ti."
Upon hearing this, True Monarch Wan Yang’s frown deepened further, a glint of contemplation passed through his eyes.
Such coincidental timing forced him to suspect so hidden evasion.
Logically, an early-stage Nascent Soul cultivator couldn’t foresee the actions of the Heaven-Suppressing Sect, nor could he escape beforehand.
However, if he truly possessed that mystical treasure, the situation would be completely different.
True Monarch Wan Yang recalled the words of the Supre Elder.
The Profound Celestial Embryo is one of the most miraculous treasures in the world, not only containing boundless creation power but also the ability to foresee outcos and avoid danger.
If Yan Ruchen truly possessed the Profound Celestial Embryo, leaving early upon sensing danger would not be unexpected.
Contemplating this, True Monarch Wan Yang’s frown eased, his eyes revealed strong interest and anticipation.
Such an unusual coincidence further confird his suspicions.
Yan Ruchen very likely has the Profound Celestial Embryo!
"Since he is not here, allow a search."
True Monarch Wan Yang said coldly, "Open the Mountain Protection Array and bring out all items containing Yan Ruchen’s aura."
"Senior, this..." True Monarch Lan Ling hesitantly spoke.
She could accept the first request, but the second one left her troubled.
However, her hesitation thoroughly angered True Monarch Wan Yang.
"Hmph!"
True Monarch Wan Yang snorted coldly, a flash of icy murderous intent in his eyes.
His aura instantly surged, overwhelming like the sea, as pressure flooded toward True Monarch Lan Ling.
Endless flas burst forth from his palm, transforming into a roaring fire dragon that charged at True Monarch Lan Ling.
This fiery dragon, dozens of feet long, was entirely blood-red, emanating terrifying heat capable of burning mountains and boiling seas.
Where it passed, even the void twisted and deford, emitting rumbling explosions.
True Monarch Lan Ling’s face changed drastically. She rushed to channel all her mana, forming a dense water curtain in front of her.
By rights, her main cultivation being Water Elent techniques should greatly restrain flas.
But when cultivation disparity is too vast, all elental restraining is futile.
Bang!
The fire dragon slamd into the water curtain, the terrifying heat instantly vaporizing it.
The relentless flas continued forward, striking heavily upon Lan Ling.
"Puff—"
True Monarch Lan Ling spat a mouthful of blood, her figure like a severed kite flying backwards.
"Supre Elder!"
The disciples of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons paled in shock, exclaiming in unison.
Yet facing an existence like True Monarch Wan Yang, there was only anger without courage.
"Do you wish for your Valley of Ten Thousand Demons to be annihilated?"
True Monarch Wan Yang coldly scanned everyone present.
At that mont, True Monarch Yuan Tie’s gaze flickered, he suddenly spoke:
"Calm your anger, Senior. The junior is willing to cooperate with your search."
He understood that continuing resistance would only worsen the situation. Instead of letting the Valley suffer greater losses, he might as well cooperate, perhaps salvaging sothing.
"Senior Brother Yan usually cultivates at Cyan Cloud Peak, there lies his abode and cultivation chamber."
True Monarch Yuan Tie gritted his teeth and said, "In addition, he has a longti servant girl nad Xie Lu from whom so clues might be gleaned."
True Monarch Wan Yang nodded in satisfaction, the killing intent in his eyes slightly receding.
"Good, lead the way."
True Monarch Yuan Tie felt a bitter taste in his heart but could only brace himself and lead the way.
Soon, the group arrived at Xu Ping’s abode at Cyan Cloud Peak.
True Monarch Wan Yang swept his Divine Sense, imdiately noticing various residual aura traces inside the abode.
anwhile, Xie Lu shook with fear under True Monarch Wan Yang’s overwhelming pressure.
True Monarch Wan Yang’s eyes glead, with a wave of his hand, a formless force instantly brought the trembling Xie Lu before him.
He extended a finger, the fingertip flashing with strange red light, and without hesitation tapped it onto Xie Lu’s brow, beginning a forcible search through her mory for all information.
