Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 17 - People Are Here Again



Lu Jian, Su Sheng, Old Ghost, and Wu Kuang were sect leaders of the best sects in the Mortal Realm.

The four of them had the highest cultivation level in the Mortal Realm!

They were only a step away from ascending to become immortals!

There could only be one reason for the four of them to gather. A big shot from the Heavenly Realm had promised them something.

Luo Ruying and her daughter had escaped from the Heavenly Realm. If they could catch them, they would gain assistance to ascend and become immortals and join the other party’s ranks.

The moment they ascended into the Heavenly Realm, they could join a powerful force. Nothing was more tempting than this.

They already had intel about Luo Ruying and her daughter.

Luo Ruying used to be an Empress in the Heavenly Realm, but she had been severely injured, and her cultivation was now below the Human Immortal realm.

In their opinion, as the top cultivators of the Mortal Realm, this was an easy assignment.

“Let’s make it quick. It will be best if she cooperates. If she doesn’t, just kill her. Remember that we can’t kill the girl. We have to bring her back.”

Lu Jian’s face looked serious as he took the lead, transforming into a light and flying toward the Monster Domain Forest.

It was easy enough for them to take care of someone at the Human Immortal realm.

The remaining three people cast a knowing look at each other and smiled smugly. They transformed into lights one after another and followed suit.

Moments later, the four of them arrived in the depths of Monster Domain Forest.

On the periphery of the Monster Domain Forest, there were many monster beasts that were suicidal enough to fight them.

Strangely, when they got to the depths of Monster Domain Forest, not a single monster beast could be found.

Rumor had it that the depths of the Monster Domain Forest were the territory of countless Monster Kings. Anyone who entered would meet death!

However, not a single Monster King could be spotted now.

It was abnormally quiet.

The four of them stood in midair and looked around Monster Domain Forest carefully, but not a soul could be found.

“Old Ghost, use the Poltergeist Infant Puppet to track their location,” Lu Jian said to Old Ghost solemnly.

If they did not have a specific location, it would be hard to find them deep in the Monster Domain Forest.

Old Ghost smiled stiffly. “The Poltergeist Infant Puppet is only able to detect their rough location. It can’t find the exact location.”

“Tsk! The Poltergeist Infant Puppet is renowned for its ability to track over long distances, but I guess we’ve overestimated it,” Su Sheng said in disdain, clicking his tongue.

Old Ghost simply smiled awkwardly and did not retort.

Wu Kuang ignored them. He noticed something and landed in the forest. He detected some dried blood on a leaf.

He was particularly sensitive toward blood. Even the slightest trace of blood could not escape his nose!

The moment they arrived here, he could faintly smell an unusual blood scent.

Wu Kuang plucked the blood-stained leaf, placed it into his mouth, and tasted it carefully. A look of anticipation appeared on his face. “As expected of the blood of an immortal from the Heavenly Realm, it certainly tastes different! I love it!”

A look of disdain flashed across the faces of Lu Jian and the others when they saw Wu Kuang’s excitement.

Word had it that this guy loved drinking blood, especially the blood of powerful cultivators. Every time he killed, he would drink the opponent’s blood.

However, it was thanks to him that they finally tracked down Luo Ruying!

One thing was certain. The woman was definitely hiding in the Monster Domain Forest.

Once they confirmed this, it was just a matter of time before they got her!

“Let’s split up and search! Whoever finds her first, send a signal,” Lu Jian said to the other three.

Although the other three were displeased at Lu Jian giving orders, they said nothing and quietly separated.

After all, the request from the big shot from the Heavenly Realm was more important.

If they were unable to catch Luo Ruying and her daughter, they would not only be unable to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, but they would even die from offending the other party.

Inside a cave, Titan Giant Ape, Chaos Demonic Bull, and Sky-Swallowing Python quietly watched as Lu Jian and the others parted ways.

“People are here again. How can they barge into our Monster Domain Forest at will? Shall we take care of them?” Titan Giant Ape suggested exasperatedly.

“Are you stupid? What if they’re under the protection of that man? Didn’t you see how Dark-Scaled Dragon died?” Sky-Swallowing Python said in fear.

Every time Sky-Swallowing Python thought about Ning Yechen, she trembled in fear uncontrollably.

Chaos Demonic Bull and Titan Giant Ape went quiet.

If this were a century ago, they would have killed these people without hesitation.

However, they could not take such risks anymore.

They were not afraid of the intruders but of that man.

“Forget it. Let’s pretend we didn’t see them.”

“That’s right. Let’s continue playing mahjong!”

“Okay.”

The three of them came to the same conclusion and went back into the cave like best buddies.

Monster Kings were known not to get along with each other and fought for territory. Unexpectedly, these three Monster Kings got along brilliantly.

Meanwhile…

After parting ways, Old Ghost laughed cunningly. He promptly took out the Poltergeist Infant Puppet and sped in the direction its eyes were leading him.

His Poltergeist Infant Puppet was naturally able to track people down to their exact locations!

He wanted to steal the credit, so he did not tell Lu Jian and the others!

If he could single-handedly defeat Luo Ruying and hand over her and her daughter to the big shot in the Heavenly Realm, he would be able to get a bigger reward!

He might even be able to ascend to the Heavenly Realm!

When the time came, he would be able to destroy the other three main sects effortlessly!

At the thought of this, Old Ghost could not help beaming from ear to ear.

“Huh?” Before long, Old Ghost’s expression turned grim. He halted, looked ahead, and slowly stretched out his wrinkled hand.

It was as if his hand had touched transparent glass, and it was impossible for him to continue.

A formation!

“Found you.” Old Ghost tilted his head and let out a sinister chuckle, feeling thrilled.

Since there was a formation, they had to be inside!

This tiny barrier was not enough to stop Old Ghost.

He placed his hand on the barrier, and a dark, viscous liquid oozed from his hand.

The black liquid flowed down the barrier. The barrier instantly became corroded and melted away, leaving behind a large hole!

Old Ghost passed through the barrier effortlessly and entered it without getting detected at all.

He had to act quickly before those idiots caught onto him!

Ning Yechen was playing with Luo Hongye in the house when he suddenly frowned in displeasure. People are here again!

The intruder even destroyed the formation that his wife had painstakingly set up!

He hated getting interrupted when he was spending quality time with his wife and daughter! They should have known better!
