"This Demon Lord is also very curious. Who in the Demon World has the ability to nurture a genius like Xiao Chen? If there's really an expert behind Xiao Chen, then that person is definitely not an ordinary person." The Demon Lord frowned slightly. However, no matter how he thought about it, he couldn't think of anyone in the Demon World who could be so powerful.
The Earth Demon Dharma Protector said, "Demon Lord, this brat Xiao Chen clearly knows that the Black Blood Devil Emperor and the Heartless Devil Palace are subordinate forces of the Demonic Palace, yet he still dares to deal with them openly. This shows that he isn't afraid. Who knows, there might really be an expert behind him. In Old Man's opinion, after capturing Xiao Chen, we should first investigate his background."
Great Elder Mo Qing Yang nodded and said, "The Dharma Protector's words are reasonable. Xiao Chen possesses such a mysterious power that even the Demon Lord doesn't know his background. This person is not simple and cannot be underestimated."
After a pause, Mo Qing Yang continued, "Xiao Chen is a Seventh Grade Alchemist. This point alone is enough for us to not underestimate him. The expert behind this person must be a Ninth Grade Alchemist. However, Old Man has been a Ninth Grade Alchemist for many years, yet he doesn't know of anyone in the Demon World who is also a Ninth Grade Alchemist. Who knows, it might be an expert."
"No matter what, we must capture Xiao Chen first. No matter how powerful the expert behind him is, this Demon Lord is not afraid of him!" The Demon Lord sneered. He then looked at the Blood Soul Master and said, "Great Commander, I'll leave this matter to you. You must investigate Xiao Chen's background thoroughly."
The Blood Soul Master respectfully said, "This subordinate will do his best to investigate Xiao Chen's background!"
A few days later, the Heartless Devil Emperor sent Mo Zhong to bring Xiao Chen's portrait to the Demonic Palace. For this reason, the Demon Lord ordered Xiao Chen's portrait to be distributed to every major force, including the Central Capital, Demon Capital, Demon Domain, etc., so that everyone in the Demon World would know.
In just a few hours, Xiao Chen's portrait had spread throughout the entire Devil Realm. It could be said that various large and small forces were searching for Xiao Chen all over the Devil Realm.
The Demon Lord had thought that he would be able to locate Xiao Chen within a short period of time. However, as time went by, the Demon Lord's patience was wearing thin. He grew more and more frustrated and annoyed. For more than ten days, he had sent out so many experts, but not a single one of them had seen Xiao Chen.
Furthermore, knowing that Xiao Chen knew the escape technique, he even ordered experts with the earth attribute to search underground. Even after searching through every region of the Demon Realm, they still couldn't find Xiao Chen. It was as if Xiao Chen had evaporated into thin air.
What made the Demon Lord even more annoyed was that the Blood Soul Master couldn't find any information about Xiao Chen's background even after searching for more than ten days. He had searched every region of the Devil Realm, but no one knew of Xiao Chen!
All of this was completely out of the Demon Lord's expectations. He didn't think that Xiao Chen's background would be so mysterious. He also didn't think that even after mobilizing all the experts in the Devil Realm, they still couldn't find Xiao Chen's whereabouts.
In the Demonic Palace, the Blood Soul Master reported, "Demon Lord, this subordinate has searched every major region of the Devil Realm. I have even sent people to remote places to inquire about Xiao Chen. Speaking of Xiao Chen, they have never heard of him."
"Could it be that the expert behind him is concealing his whereabouts?" The Demon Lord frowned and asked solemnly.
At this time, Third Elder Mo Qingfeng said, "Demon Lord, there might be another possibility. With our strength, tracking a person in the Devil Realm isn't difficult at all. Currently, other than the Northern and Central Regions' forbidden lands, all the major forces have searched every place in the Devil Realm. Old Man suspects that Xiao Chen is hiding in one of the forbidden lands."
"Forbidden lands?" The Dharma Protector frowned and said, "There are three forbidden lands in the Devil Realm. The Western Regions' forbidden land has already been destroyed by the Demon Lord, leaving only the Northern and Central Regions' forbidden lands. The Northern Divine Turtle forbidden land is no longer a problem. The Central Regions' forbidden land is the most terrifying forbidden land in the Devil Realm. Other than the Demon Lord, no one can come out after entering. Over the years, who knows how many people have died in the Water Regions. Even the Ninth Revolution Demon Emperor Yan Zhen Monarch couldn't escape from the Water Regions. Xiao Chen can't possibly be hiding in the Water Regions."
The Demon Lord nodded and said, "The Dharma Protector's words make sense. No one in the Devil Realm knows about the Divine Turtle forbidden land. They only know that there is a powerful barrier that others can't enter. With Xiao Chen's strength, it's impossible for him to enter the Water Regions. In the end, there must be someone behind this kid."
"Demon Lord, this subordinate has a bold guess, but I don't know if I should say it." At this time, Great Leader Mo Zang spoke.
The Demon Lord looked at Mo Zang and said, "Speak!"
Mo Zang said solemnly, "Demon Lord, Xiao Chen is so mysterious, and we can't rule out him hiding in the forbidden lands. Since we can guess that there is someone behind him, we can also guess that he isn't from the Devil Realm."
"Not from the Devil Realm?" The Demon Lord's face turned serious and his brows furrowed.
"Demon Lord, this subordinate feels that Great Leader is right. Xiao Chen is most likely not from the Devil Realm. Otherwise, it's impossible that we can't find any information about Xiao Chen." Bloodsoul quickly said. When Mo Zang said this, he immediately felt that this was a possibility.
"If he isn't from the Devil Realm, then he can only be from the Ghost Realm or the Immortal Realm. Xiao Chen is a human, so he can't be from the Demon Realm. However, how do you explain the aura on Xiao Chen's body? This Lord has seen his clone before. He emits the evil aura of the Devil Realm. This Lord can't be fooled. "The Demon Lord frowned.
Bloodsoul then said, "Demon Lord, when this subordinate first saw Xiao Chen, it was in the Central Region. At that time, this subordinate asked the people of the Central Region. They all said that they couldn't see the depth of Xiao Chen's cultivation. Even the Black Blood Devil Emperor said so. Since he can completely hide his aura, he can definitely change his aura."
Mo Zang said solemnly, "The Devil Realm and the Ghost Realm have no contact, so this subordinate guesses that Xiao Chen is from the Immortal Realm."
The Earth Demon Dharma Protector frowned and said, "For so many years, no one from the Immortal Realm has dared to take half a step into the Devil Realm. Unless there is a great war between the Immortal and Devil Realms, it's impossible."
"Dharma Protector, Old Man feels that Mo Zang's words make sense." Second Elder Mo Qingyuan slowly said.
"Alright! Let's not argue about this for now. In short, let's capture Xiao Chen first. When the time comes, this Demon Lord will naturally have a way to find out about his origins! "The Demon Lord said," Mo Zang, Bloodsoul, both of you go and search for Xiao Chen's whereabouts! "
"Yes! Demon Lord! "The two of them respectfully said and then left the hall at the same time.
"Xiao Chen is a Seventh Grade Alchemist. Could he be from the Immortal Realm's Dan Temple?" The Demon Lord thought to himself. Then he shook his head and disappeared.
Outside the Demonic Palace, Bloodsoul asked Mo Zang, "Great Commander, we can't find any trace of Xiao Chen in the Devil Realm. Where are we going to find him?"
Mo Zang glanced at Bloodsoul and said, "The Forbidden Area."
"What? The Forbidden Area? Do you want to die? "Bloodsoul was shocked by Mo Zang's words.
Mo Zang said, "I didn't say I was going to go in. I was just waiting outside the Forbidden Area. The Demon Lord and the elders are just guessing. Who knows if Xiao Chen is in the Forbidden Area?"
"That makes sense! Then I'll go to the Forbidden Area of the Divine Tortoise. Your cultivation is above mine. You go to the Water Demon Sea Area. "Bloodsoul quickly said. He was extremely afraid of the Water Demon Sea Area.
Before Mo Zang could say anything, Bloodsoul had already flown away. Mo Zang was speechless.
A month passed in the blink of an eye. In the Water Demon Sea Area, Xiao Chen had been cultivating for one and a half months. His cultivation had greatly improved and his aura had reached an unprecedented height.
"In one and a half months, Master's cultivation has improved so quickly. I've never seen such a terrifying cultivation speed. He's at the peak of the Late Demon Emperor Realm. In just one and a half months, he's close to breaking through to the First Rank Demon Emperor Realm. It's really terrifying." Water Demon thought to himself. Although he had been training all this while, Xiao Chen's frightening speed of training had shocked him greatly during the past one and a half months.
"The little White Tiger is an Ancient Divine Beast. With the help of the Grade-8 Pill, its cultivation has improved very quickly. It's about to advance to the Middle Emperor Xian Realm." Water Demon thought to himself. He was also shocked by the Ancient White Tiger's astonishing cultivation speed.
In one and a half months, the various forces of the Demon World still couldn't find any trace of Xiao Chen. Even when Bloodsoul and Mo Zang went to the Forbidden Area to wait, they didn't see any trace of Xiao Chen.
In a mountain range far away in the Water Demon Sea Area, Mo Zang muttered to himself, "How did such a huge Water Demon Sea Area form? Why does it contain such terrifying evil power? If it's man-made, then this person is too terrifying! "
"Xiao Chen is just a peak Late Demon Emperor. It's impossible for him to take the Water Demon Sea Area. It seems that I'm overthinking it." Mo Zang muttered. After waiting for so long, there was no movement in the Water Demon Sea Area. Helpless, he could only choose to leave.
After Mo Zang left, Water Demon thought to himself, "For Mo Zang to appear here, it seems that he has searched all the major regions of the Demon World. Otherwise, it's impossible for him to target my Water Demon Sea Area. Hmph, as long as the Demon Lord doesn't come, I don't have to worry."
When Mo Zang had just arrived at the Water Demon Sea Area, Water Demon had already sensed it. In order not to disturb Xiao Chen's cultivation, he didn't make a move. Otherwise, Mo Zang would definitely be buried in the Water Demon Sea Area.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed. Xiao Chen had already cultivated for two and a half months, but there were still no signs of a breakthrough. The time of the breakthrough was delayed by a lot, which exceeded Xiao Chen's own expectations.
On the contrary, the Ancient White Tiger smoothly advanced to the Middle Emperor Xian Realm with the help of the Grade-8 Pill, and Water Demon was about to advance to the Fourth Revolution Demon Emperor Realm.
"Strange, I have already broken through to the Middle Emperor Xian Realm. Why hasn't Xiao Chen broken through yet?" The Ancient White Tiger found it strange. Xiao Chen had so much power to provide for his cultivation. It had already been two and a half months, but he still hadn't broken through. This made the Ancient White Tiger very puzzled.
Hearing this, Water Demon asked in a low voice, "Little White Tiger, it hasn't been long since Master advanced to the Peak late-stage Demon Emperor Realm, right? It's only been two months and he's about to advance to the First Revolution Demon Emperor Realm. Was Master's cultivation speed also so terrifying in the past? "
The Ancient White Tiger said, "Of course! If he didn't waste time on alchemy, Xiao Chen's cultivation would definitely be above yours now. Moreover, Xiao Chen rarely takes pills to cultivate! He's worried that it will affect his breakthrough. If he takes too many pills, it will be more difficult to break through in the future. After all, he relies on pills to cultivate, not on his own. "
Water Demon nodded and said, "I see. No wonder Master advanced to the Peak late-stage Demon Emperor Realm so easily."
"Strange, Emperor Xian was about to break through to the First Revolution Demon Emperor Xian, but for some reason, when he urged the power to break through, the power disappeared." Just as the White Tiger and Water Demon were chatting, Xiao Chen spoke.
