Late at night, back palace kitchen.
"Exalted Goddess, I've found out what you asked me to investigate previously." The Demon King lowered his voice and said seriously.
"So fast!" Lonemoon turned back in surprise. "How is it?"
"Young Emperor's guess was right. The former Demon King might really still be alive." The Demon King nodded. "I sent ten Skyfiends to scout around the Demon World. Indeed, many demons claimed to have seen his tracks."
Lonemoon frowned. Ever since he saw that damned demonic book, he guessed that the person behind the scenes, even if it was not the former Demon King, was closely related to him.
"Where is he?"
"I don't know yet." The Demon King shook his head. "I only heard some rumors, but the location is very complicated. There is no accurate address at all. I also interrogated those demons who were hiding in the immortal world. According to them, the former Demon King has lost contact with them for hundreds of thousands of years. They don't even know that the Demon King of the Demon World has changed. Even that Skyfiend called Zi Chen. "
This was difficult. Lonemoon's frown deepened. If even Little Black could not find him, then the others would not be able to.
"Then how did you become the Demon King?" Shen Ying suddenly asked.
The Demon King faltered. He did not understand why she asked that, but still answered honestly, "I defeated the former Demon King, so naturally I am the new Demon King." He said with some pride. The demons were always simple and violent. Whoever was strong was the Demon King. "Back then, I beat him up like a grandson. I thought he was dead. I didn't think he …"
"That means you were the last person to see him." Shen Ying said.
Huh? The Demon King was stunned.
Lonemoon's eyes brightened. He pulled Little Black over and asked, "Where did you fight?"
"Near the Joyous Melody Abyss in the Demon World," the Demon King replied. The Demon King replied, "At that time, our cultivation levels were equal, and we fought for seven to eight days. In the end, I used all my strength to disperse his Demon Spirit, and he fell into the Joyous Melody Abyss. He shouldn't have survived … Could he be hiding there?"
"Where is the Joyous Melody Abyss?" If he guessed correctly, the former Demon King had deliberately faked his death.
"The Joyous Melody Abyss is in the easternmost part of the Demon World. It's near the border." They had chosen to fight there because they were afraid of destroying the Demon World.
"Let's go now and take a look there!"
"Alright." The Demon King nodded. Just as the two of them were about to leave the house …
"Have a safe trip." A familiar voice sounded behind him.
Lonemoon's footsteps faltered as he walked out of the door. His face darkened. He turned around and picked up a certain someone who was still slumped on the chair. "You go too!"
"But Master, she …"
"And you!" He turned to look at a certain someone who was holding a plate of flavored prawns.
Yi Qing: "…" Master hasn't even eaten supper yet?
Shen Ying: "…" Damn it, if she had known earlier, she wouldn't have said anything.
Little Black: "…" This Young Lord Lonemoon seemed to be even more powerful than Exalted Goddess. He had one more thigh to cling to!

Three days later, in the Demon World's Joyous Lulin Abyss.
The reason why the Joyous Melody Valley was called this was because there were many narrow valleys there, especially one that was so deep that one could not see the bottom. It would take four to six hours to reach the bottom of the valley. Moreover, there was a strong wind in the valley. Every time the wind blew, the entire valley would resound with all kinds of echoes. It was like a piece of music reverberating in the valley, hence the name — Joyful Melody Valley.
This was the border of the Demon Realm. Further east was the land of nothingness. The demonic Qi here was thin and it was a barren land. There were no signs of human habitation within a radius of a thousand miles. There had never been any demons who set foot here. Back then, the Demon King thought that the former Demon King Zhan Ting was dead because he had destroyed his Demon Spirit and knocked him into the deepest valley.
But from the looks of it now …
"This … is what you meant by uninhabited?" The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. He pointed at the demonic city in front of them, which was even larger than the Invincible Palace.
Uninhabited my a * s! Wasn't there a freaking demonic city at the bottom of this valley! These densely packed figures, if they weren't demons, could they be immortals?
The Demon King was also confused. He didn't know that there was such a huge demonic city at the bottom of this valley!
"I … I don't know what's going on either?" The Demon King stared at the demonic city in front of him. His legs turned to jelly as he hurriedly hugged Shen Ying's thigh. "Exalted Goddess, listen to my explanation. If I really knew, I wouldn't have brought you here. "
"Alright, alright!" Lonemoon sighed. Look at how useless he was. Did he become the Demon King by acting cute? "Let's go into the city and take a look. It looks like that Zhan Ting is most likely in this city. "
"Wait!" Seeing that they were about to enter the city, the Demon King hurriedly took out a few black talismans. "Exalted Goddess, these are the demon-gathering talismans that I prepared. They can gather demonic Qi around your body. This way, other people won't be able to see the immortal Qi on your body. "When immortals entered the demonic city, they were like lighted lamps. Any demon would be able to see through them at one glance. If that Zhan Ting was really in the city, it would be easy to alert the enemy.
"Mm, thank you!" The three of them took the talismans and Lonemoon immediately stuck them on his body. Indeed, very quickly, like the Demon King, his body was instantly surrounded by some black demonic Qi.
Shen Ying looked at it curiously and imitated the two of them, slapping the talismans on her chest. In the next moment, wisps of black Qi seemed to be attracted by something and gathered over. The strange thing was that the demonic Qi didn't surround her body tightly like Lonemoon and Yi Qing. Instead, it stopped one meter away from Shen Ying. As if it was afraid of something, it didn't dare to move forward and could only circle around one meter away from her. In a short while, it wrapped her up into a one-meter radius — black egg!
"It's done!" Shen Ying looked up.
"Done my ass!" The corner of Lonemoon's mouth twitched. This was even more freaking obvious than before when there was no demonic Qi. "Are you blind? Where exactly did you see that it's done!?"
"Aiya, so troublesome!" Shen Ying sighed. "How about, Little Black, give me another talisman."
"Alright!" The Demon King immediately handed over another talisman.
Without hesitation, Shen Ying directly slapped it on her chest. Then … the egg became even bigger!
Yi Qing: "…"
Lonemoon: "…"
Little Black: "…"
What the hell? Why didn't even the demonic Qi dare to go near Shen Ying. Were all things in the demonic world so cowardly?
Lonemoon took a deep breath before going forward and pulling off the two talismans on Shen Ying's chest. The demonic Qi egg disappeared instantly. "You don't have to stick it on anymore." Anyway, with her little presence, it would be difficult for others to find her.
"Oh."
"Also, after we enter the city, we'll find a place to rest. You and Chef stay there and don't move. Wait for us to come back, alright?"
"Oh, where are you guys going?"
"What else!" A ball of anger surged in Lonemoon's chest. "Aren't we here to find the whereabouts of the former Demon King Zhan Ting? Of course we're going to find out. "
"Oh, is that useful?"
"We have to try even if it's useless! Do you think Zhan Ting is a pie that will fall from the sky if we don't look for him … "
Thump …
Before he could finish, a figure suddenly fell from the sky and landed at the feet of the four of them. Instantly, a one-meter deep human-shaped hole was formed. A man in black was lying in the hole, his entire body twitching. He turned around and revealed a handsome face.
"Zhan Ting!" Little Black exclaimed.
Yo! The Demon King really fell from the sky.
Lonemoon: "…"
Yi Qing: "…"
