TBOUMTBDK Chapter 72

On the other side, at the gate of Ember City.

Huai Ying and Zhu Wan’er had already changed into clothes that matched the style of the local demons, slightly covering their faces, their exposed eyes vigilantly scanning their surroundings.

Seeing this, Zhu Wan’er reminded Huai Ying, “Senior Brother, it’s better if we don’t appear so nervous. To blend in with the locals, we should be more natural.”

This was also the most basic thing they had to do as undercover agents.

Huai Ying heard this, maintaining his original state unchanged, and lowered his voice, saying, “What Junior Sister says makes a lot of sense, but don’t forget, this is Ember City, the border of the demon realm, not the few cities we were in before. Look at the people here, seemingly leisurely, but everyone has a murderous look on their faces, which is different from other demons.”

Zhu Wan’er’s eyes narrowed, and she pondered.

Huai Ying lowered his head slightly, not making eye contact with other passersby, and continued, “Furthermore, the entire demon realm now knows about us, and they must also know that we are eager to leave. Ember City is one of the places to leave the demon realm, they will definitely increase their patrols, and it will definitely affect the people here. Observe these demons carefully.”

Zhu Wan’er already had good comprehension, and at this time, she only needed a little reminder to understand and discover the differences in these people, and immediately adjusted her expression.

Fortunately, although the guards at the city gate swept over everyone with sharp eyes, they did not stop anyone for detailed questioning. After all, this was just a city, not the entrance and exit between the immortal and demon realms.

Huai Ying and Zhu Wan’er successfully entered the city without any mishaps.

“Senior Brother is indeed experienced and knowledgeable. I should learn from you,” Zhu Wan’er said.

Huai Ying shook his head with a wry smile, “If we return to the immortal sect this time, do you think we will have such an opportunity?”

Zhu Wan’er was stunned.

“There won’t be another one. We have already shown our faces. Even if the higher-ups have this intention, they will definitely not use us again. Alas, I don’t know what we will face after we go back.”

Zhu Wan’er was silent, and after a long time, she said, “Although it can’t be said that we will be rewarded for our merits, I think with Yun Xia Senior Brother and that one, the sect leader won’t be too harsh on us.”

This time, their undercover work was not a success, but it was not a failure either. Although Xiao Tongfu had such a big incident, they would definitely be implicated, but with Li Yu Saint Monarch brought back by Yun Xia, to be honest, Li Yu Saint Monarch was much more important than Xiao Tongfu.

The two of them didn’t say much, pretending to be buying things while discreetly inquiring about news.

Sure enough, their affairs in the Holy City were already well known. Several border cities had received orders to block several entrances and exits.

Apart from that, the management was not too strict. After all, the demon realm was too big. If you really wanted to hide, it would be really hard to find someone without special means.

In a street corner, several demons were chatting while drinking.

“The Saint Monarch was kidnapped, and the people from the immortal realm made a scene in the Holy City. It’s really outrageous. In my opinion, everyone should be thoroughly investigated, and everyone should be made to eat the Heart-Spitting Worm, so that we can 100% find out the spies.”

“What are you talking about? That disgusting Heart-Spitting Worm? After eating it, everything you want to say and don’t want to say will be poured out? It’s better to just kill me. And there aren’t that many Heart-Spitting Worms.”

“Hmph, if there aren’t that many, we can just raise them. Is there anything we demons can’t do? In my opinion, over the years, I don’t know how many people from the immortal realm have mixed into the demon realm. Esteemed Lord should carry out a thorough cleansing and then seal the gate between the two realms, so that we will never interact with the people from the immortal realm again.”

“Bah, you still want to guide Esteemed Lord? Are you not afraid of death? Esteemed Lord definitely has Esteemed Lord’s considerations, which are not for us to discuss.”

These words sobered up seven or eight parts of the people around who were discussing.

“I, I’m just saying it casually…”

“Ahem, you were just talking about the Heart-Spitting Worm. That kind of thing can only deal with you and me. People with some skills can easily hide it. I think it’s better to just close the border and let those people from the immortal realm stay in the demon realm. Hehe, it is said that they can’t be in contact with Demonic Energy for a long time, so let them slowly waste away here.”

“This is good, this is good. If Esteemed Lord doesn’t want to fight out, then let’s just do this. I support it.”

……

Zhu Wan’er shivered.

Huai Ying gave her a look, and the two of them tacitly left.

They returned to the small courtyard in the space magic artifact without incident. Zhu Wan’er had been holding it in all the way, and when she saw Yun Xia and Gong Qiu, she said, “Do you think the Demon Lord will really seal the border forever?”

Yun Xia had been sleeping because of excessive consumption, and had just been woken up by Gong Qiu. His taste buds hadn’t been awakened by the food on the table when he heard this sentence.

“No.”

Everyone looked at him.

Yun Xia swallowed his saliva and finally came back to his senses.

“Oh, I guessed. It’s not that easy to seal the border. The border is not unilaterally managed by the demon realm. Tell me, what news is there in the city?”

The two briefly talked about the situation in the city.

Yun Xia, who had just regained his mind, nodded, eating while saying, “It’s about the same as I thought. The border is temporarily closed, patrols are strengthened, but there is no big fanfare, and everyone is vigilant. Because Esteemed Lord didn’t personally issue the order, so this is the maximum extent that can be done under Esteemed Lord.”

The others were thoughtful.

“Oh, right, there is also news about the Demon Lord, do you want to hear it?”

Yun Xia’s heart skipped a beat, but his face was calm: “Demon Lord? What’s wrong? Did he… personally issue the order or personally come to the border city?”

“Huh? Hahaha Senior Brother, are you kidding? How is that possible? It’s just a rumor. I was hesitating whether to tell you. It’s like this, I heard news from the Demon Palace, saying that something seems to have happened to the Demon Lord, so no orders have been passed down.”

“Uh, even I know that this is fake news, right? What could happen to the Demon Lord? If something really happened, could it be spread like this?” Gong Qiu looked incredulous.

“I don’t know. Those news are mixed with truth and falsehood. There are all kinds of rumors,” Zhu Wan’er said, “Some people say that the Demon Lord is injured, some say that the Demon Lord is missing… It’s really a bit outrageous.”

Huai Ying waved his hand: “Let’s not discuss these rumors on the streets. Let’s get back to the main topic.”

Gong Qiu scratched his head and said, “So, what is the Demon Lord doing in the Demon Palace? He hasn’t come forward even though such a big thing happened. Does he really have some plan?”

Zhu Wan’er also didn’t understand: “That’s right. Li Yu Saint Monarch has a respected status. Now that he has been taken away by us, and he was taken away in the Holy City, it should be a slap in the face to the demons, but the Demon Lord has no intention of handling it personally. He just let his trusted subordinates manage…”

Huai Ying didn’t express his opinion, and asked Yun Xia, “Junior Brother, you have been in the Demon Palace for a while. What are your thoughts?”

Yun Xia pretended to think for a while, and said cautiously, “Esteemed Lord, he… is very unfathomable. Not to mention me, even the people closest to him can’t see through him at all.”

Huai Ying nodded: “Indeed, that is the Demon Lord. Maybe he really doesn’t think this is a big deal. Their thoughts are very different from ours. We should leave here as soon as possible. Staying here for a long time is really unsettling.”

The other two nodded in agreement.

Yun Xia looked at them suspiciously. Unsettling?

He had been here for so long, but he didn’t feel anything unsettling.

The only thing is that if a person from the immortal realm is not prepared, or not prepared enough, they really can’t stay in the demon realm for too long. But he is different. He was personally sent by the male lead of this world, and he put in a lot of effort, so naturally he won’t mistreat him in this regard.

After the few people finished talking, they decided to deal with the ever-changing situation by staying put and observing.

Yun Xia analyzed for them that it was unlikely that the demon realm would keep the barrier closed all the time, so they were much more at ease.

After that, Yun Xia told them about Mo Jun Zhou’s situation.

“Need Divine Consciousness power?”

“Yes, but my Divine Consciousness power alone is far from enough. So, I don’t know if the senior brothers and sisters are willing to help me with this.”

The three looked at each other.

“What are you talking about? How is it possible that we won’t help you? Seeing you worrying about him every day, as fellow disciples, how can we ignore it?” Gong Qiu patted Yun Xia’s shoulder, “If we don’t help, you will definitely become weaker and weaker. Look, you have dark circles under your eyes. Junior Brother feels sorry for you.”

“Stop being glib,” Zhu Wan’er said, “But Yun Xia Senior Brother, why does the Saint Monarch need Divine Consciousness power? Could it be that he… specializes in cultivating the sea of consciousness?”

Yun Xia: “Yes.”

Even if he denies it now, it is likely to be exposed in the future. After all, Mo Jun Zhou can’t use Demonic Energy, so he can only use the power of Divine Consciousness.

So it is better to give them this understanding first.

“I heard that very few people cultivate the sea of consciousness. Only a very few people have this talent. Even if they have the talent, they need to put in a lot of effort, so generally, even if they have this talent, they may not choose this path.”

“What do they have to put in?” Gong Qiu asked.

Huai Ying: “I don’t know. Those who cultivate this have their own inheritance. There are very few people like this in our immortal realm, and even fewer things are left behind. I just heard it said like this. But as long as they walk this path to the end, without exception, they are all famous figures in the Three Realms. The one closest to us, you all know.”

“Ah, I remember… the Demon Lord is.”

“Yes, the Demon Lord is a demon cultivator and also a spirit cultivator, but he is too strong. He is a figure at the top of the immortal and demon realms. Ordinary people can’t see him take action. Even so, his Black Lotus is a deterrent to the Three Realms.”

For some reason, after hearing them say this, Yun Xia’s worry about Mo Jun Zhou decreased a lot.

That’s right, that is Esteemed Lord. Esteemed Lord will be fine, he will definitely be fine.

With this feeling, Yun Xia made arrangements, and several people took turns to transport Divine Consciousness power to Mo Jun Zhou.

He thought that they had several people, so it should be enough, but the first time they transported the power, it almost overturned again. Fortunately, they had several people who could lend a hand.

After the first round, everyone sat aside with their foreheads pinched, trying to recover.

“Is this still not enough? Is the Saint Monarch a bottomless pit, or is spirit cultivation like this?”

“Maybe because we don’t cultivate Divine Consciousness power, our Divine Consciousness power is too weak for him. But it’s still a bit unbelievable. Was he originally this strong?”

Seeing everyone looking over, Yun Xia was also very helpless: “I don’t know. I’m not a spirit cultivator.”

“…”

Everyone rested for a while and then returned to their rooms.

In the following days, they came to transport one round of this power to Mo Jun Zhou every day. Later, everyone became numb, thinking it was ineffective, but Mo Jun Zhou didn’t seem to be.

So they all gave up thinking.

Finally, on the tenth day.

Yun Xia’s complexion was better than when he first arrived here, while the others looked generally energetic. After all, they had to exhaust their sea of consciousness power once a day, which was quite difficult for them.

In order to maintain combat effectiveness at all times to cope with emergencies, they only transported it once every two days later.

In the room, the young man on the bed had a rosy complexion, his eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he was much better than before.

This was also the reason why Yun Xia felt at ease.

After Huai Ying and the others left, Yun Xia sat next to Mo Jun Zhou as usual,Organize your collar and hair.

Just then, Yun Xia’s eyes flashed, and a “snap” sound was accompanied by a pain in his wrist, and a familiar voice sounded:

“Who are you?”
