Ying Naiyan and Dongkui dashed swiftly toward the tree hollow behind them.
However, the fearso reputation of the Three Hungry Fiends of the Soul-Sealing Pool was not without reason.
The eldest, Ting Yu, had long anticipated their move.
He pulled off the black veil from his face, revealing a blood-red gaping maw, and suddenly opened it wide.
A massive Ghost King’s head appeared abruptly before Ying Naiyan and Dongkui, attempting to swallow them whole.
At the sa ti, the second brother Fen Zhu and the third Qu You were also active.
Their forms flickered as they quickly approached, forming hand seals.
In an instant, the once fairly bright secret realm dimd greatly under the influence of their ghostly aura.
The hardened ground turned pitch black.
Countless resentful souls poked their heads out and stretched out their hands,
as if trying to drag Ying Naiyan and Dongkui into the abyss.
This sudden turn of events made Ying Naiyan extrely anxious.
In fact, during the recent fight against the Wangtian Tree Beings, her ghost aura was heavily depleted.
Plus the sudden situation, she couldn’t cast any effective spells or divine techniques.
At this mont,
Dongkui raised her right hand.
Thunderlight flashed on her wrist as she swung down fiercely.
In an instant, black lightning pierced through the clouds, sweeping across the land.
Not only was the Ghost King’s head in front shattered completely, but countless resentful souls on the ground were also struck down.
Seizing this opportunity, Ying Naiyan and Dongkui rushed into the tree hollow.
Their figures were completely swallowed by the light.
Seeing this, Ting Yu did not hesitate and imdiately followed them, rushing in.
The temptation of delicious immortals made him ignore all dangers.
Fen Zhu covered his left hand.
The black lightning earlier had disrupted his spell, causing a backlash.
The pain from the burns on his left hand was agonizing.
The light at the tree hollow ahead was already fading.
He was extrely anxious.
At this mont, a strong force suddenly pushed him forward from behind.
Fen Zhu turned his head and saw it was his third brother Qu You.
“Second brother, don’t be distracted! We’re about to enter the Heavenly Realm to eat immortals—don’t ss up now!”
“Mm!”
As Fen Zhu and Qu You entered, the colorful archway completely vanished.
The towering ancient tree seed to have exhausted all its power.
Its once lush trunk withered,
soon returning completely to its previous dead state.
The secret realm also developed cracks everywhere, on the verge of collapse.
But the three fallen Wangtian Tree Beings quietly began to revive.
......
In the Demon Realm.
The bounty on Luo Ning had already risen to ten million demon stones,
but still no useful clues appeared.
This made Ye Yu uneasy.
He proactively left Liangxin Workshop and began searching everywhere in the Demon Realm for Luo Ning and the Lishuibeng Demon clan.
He refused to believe Luo Ning could just vanish into thin air.
Unfortunately, no matter how he searched,
Ye Yu found no trace whatsoever.
He began to worry.
Could sothing unexpected have happened?
Probably not!
Whenever thinking this, Ye Yu clenched his fists.
To stop his mind from wandering,
he increased the intensity of his search throughout the Demon Realm.
One morning,
Ye Yu received a communication stone from Feng Zhenxin, claiming that Jiang Jinhe, the City Lord of Jianyao City, had co to see him.
She wanted Liangxin Workshop’s help.
She intended to monopolize all resources produced in Ba’an Sea for the next six months.
After collecting everything daily, all goods would be sent to the City Lord’s mansion for Jiang Jinhe to inspect, and then returned to Liangxin Workshop intact.
Of course, Liangxin Workshop wouldn’t do all this for free.
Jianyao City would bear part of the cost.
Also, Jiang Jinhe promised Ye Yu a favor.
At any ti, he could request a reasonable favor using this.
She also instructed to notify the mbers of the Sea Capture Battle alliance cooperating with him
to check if any secret realms had recently appeared in Ba’an Sea.
If so, they must notify her imdiately.
After this conversation, Feng Zhenxin analyzed it was very likely that a treasure was about to appear in Ba’an Sea,
otherwise Jiang Jinhe wouldn’t behave so unusually.
Ye Yu frowned slightly.
A treasure?
That wasn’t important.
He had just arrived at—
Wait, a secret realm!
Right! He had found no news of Luo Ning anywhere in the Demon Realm.
The only possibility was that she was hiding inside so secret realm.
Exactly, it had to be!
Without hesitation, Ye Yu returned to Liangxin Workshop at top speed.
He ordered Feng Zhenxin to arrange people to investigate which places in the Demon Realm had recently opened secret realms.
Also mobilized mbers of the Sea Capture Battle to check underwater signs of any secret realms opening.
If possible, through cooperation with the Divine Sea Society,
to get their help in searching as well.
After giving all the instructions,
Ye Yu arrived at the edge of Ba’an Sea.
For so reason, he had a strong intuition that Luo Ning was very likely still within Ba’an Sea.
After all, the most dangerous place was often the safest!
He hoped this intuition was right.
For the next two days, Feng Zhenxin, knowing Ye Yu waited at Ba’an Sea’s edge,
acted as a personal attendant, ordering people to send all resources produced within Ba’an Sea for Ye Yu to inspect.
Afterward, they would be sent to the City Lord’s mansion.
This was called not letting the fertile water flow into others’ fields!
No matter what the treasure was, once they handled it, it wouldn’t be given away for free.
Ye Yu did not stop this behavior.
To be honest, he was curious what treasure could make a Demon King so obsessed.
However, Feng Zhenxin’s behavior did not escape Jiang Jinhe’s eyes.
That night,
the City Lord of Jianyao City arrived at Ba’an Sea’s edge.
Seeing her arrival, Ye Yu said coldly, “City Lord, why don’t you stay inside the City Lord’s mansion but co to the sea breeze?”
“Staying cooped up in one place gets stuffy; it’s nice to get so sea air.
Besides, I can see the resources produced in Ba’an Sea firsthand.
Avoiding letting underwater demons snatch them back.
What do you think, Ye Demon Friend?”
Jiang Jinhe’s tone showed so dissatisfaction.
Obviously, she already knew about Ye Yu and Feng Zhenxin’s “little sche.”
Originally, she had co intending to confront him.
But ⊛ Nоvеlιght ⊛ (Read the full story) seeing Ye Yu’s figure,
she suppressed her anger.
Not erupting on the spot, she only expressed her emotions subtly, which was already rare.
But Ye Yu sneered.
“We’re all demons; why be so subtle?
You say underwater demons snatch resources, but what you’re really worried about is that I might snatch them, right?”
