Emperor's son
"Immortal Emperor Ox Sovereign?"
The guard leader's face lit up with joy, and he quickly told him what had happened in Immortal King Pudu Palace in a low voice. Immortal King Niu frowned slightly. Two people from Immortal King Pudu Palace were killed, and Immortal King Pudu had disappeared. No matter how he looked at it, this matter was not as simple as it seemed.
"Take me there."
Immortal King Ox said solemnly.
In the reception hall of the Kṣitigarbha Immortal King Palace …
Immortal Emperor Niu examined the two corpses and the pile of white bone dust. After that, he rose to his feet and walked around the reception hall. The guards of Immortal King Pudu Palace fixed their eyes on Immortal Emperor Niu, hoping that he could find some clues.
"Three people died. As for where Immortal King Pudu went, I don't know for the time being. Do you know who the third person is?"
Immortal King Ox said faintly.
Whether it was the housekeeper or the Emerald Sea Pill Saint, they were both dispensable figures in the eyes of Immortal King Bull. If they had died somewhere else, Immortal King Bull might not even have questioned them. However, Immortal King Pudu had always liked to keep a low profile. It was said that he had recently broken through to the Seven Tribulation Creator Realm. If someone could kill his guests and his housekeeper in the reception hall without making any noise, it meant that the person who did it was most likely an Eight Tribulation Creator. Now that Immortal King Pudu had disappeared, Immortal King Bull guessed that he had been captured.
No matter who the other party was, they didn't say anything in Dao Expansion Immortal City before making a move against an Immortal King that was conferred a title by the Dao Evolution Immortal Emperor, and this was something that Immortal King Ox couldn't tolerate.
"There's one more person …"
The guard leader was slightly startled. Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind. "Not long ago, a cultivator came to visit the Immortal King …"
The guard leader paused momentarily before furrowing his brows. "However, this cultivator is most likely not the owner of this pile of bone dust as he managed to leave the Immortal King Palace unscathed."
"Who is that cultivator?"
Immortal King Ox's eyes gradually turned cold.
"Ning Beixuan, he's the wanted criminal of the Joyful Demon Sect."
The guard leader said.
"Ning Beixuan?"
The Paragon Ox Immortal King was stunned for a moment. Then, his gaze became much more serious. "Are you sure it's him?"
"I'm sure. The butler has seen Ning Beixuan with his own eyes, so he recognized him as soon as he arrived."
The guard leader nodded.
"He came to Immortal King Kṣitigarbha Palace without disguise. He didn't even hide his tracks when he left. This guy …"
Immortal King Ox thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Given your Immortal King Pudu's personality, since he knew it was Ning Beixuan, there's no reason for him not to inform the Joyful Demon Sect, right?"
A trace of hesitation flashed in the eyes of the guard leader, and then he nodded. "We did indeed receive the Manager's orders to notify Grand Elder Ma Xinglong who's visiting a friend in Dao Expansion Immortal City."
"Go, see if Ma Xinglong is still in Dao Expansion Immortal City."
Immortal Emperor Niu Zun said calmly. His gaze landed on the pile of bone dust. His heart was filled with doubt. If his guess was right, was Ning Beixuan's strength really so terrifying that he could even kill an Eight Tribulation Creator?
Before long, Pudu Immortal King Palace had sent out all their guards to search for Ma Xinglong. They even searched for his good friend, but no one knew where Ma Xinglong had gone.
"Can't find it …"
Immortal Emperor Niu Zun's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he sent out a message. Not long after, a young cultivator walked into the reception hall casually.
When the guards of Pudu Immortal King Palace saw this young man, they knelt on the ground respectfully and did not even dare to raise their heads.
"Why are you looking for me?"
The young cultivator glanced at the corpse on the ground, and a trace of disdain flashed in his eyes.
"Divine Lord."
Immortal Emperor Niu Zun bowed respectfully, and then he described everything that had happened here and his guess.
"Let me see …"
The young cultivator grabbed a handful of bone dust from the ground, rubbed it, and then put it under his nose to sniff it. In the end, he nodded and said, "There's indeed the smell of Ma Xinglong. You're right, Ma Xinglong died here as well. Come, tell me about the background of that fellow who's wanted by the Joyful Demon Sect. He's really interesting. He dared to kill the Grand Elder of the Joyful Demon Sect in Dao Expansion Immortal City, the Immortal King personally conferred by Master, and the Pill Saint of the Alchemist Alliance. Haha, I haven't encountered such an interesting thing in a long time. I intend to investigate this matter personally."

This time, Ning Qi did not enter from the main entrance. He directly brought Hu Cheng to the courtyard where Meng Tianshu's aura was.
Creak. The door slowly opened, and Meng Tianshu walked out of the room. He glanced at Hu Cheng, and then looked at Ning Qi with a smile.
"I've brought you the head you wanted. Have you prepared the thing I want?"
Ning Qi went straight to the point with a smile.
"So fast? I thought it would take at least a few hundred years. Devil Ye, did he really die in your hands? "
Meng Tianshu was slightly surprised.
Ning Qi smiled. With a thought, the head of Devil Ye appeared in his hand. Devil Ye was not completely dead. As soon as he appeared, he immediately looked around. When he saw Meng Tianshu, he was instantly stunned, and his face was filled with extreme fear.
"Emperor …"
Meng Tianshu's expression turned cold. A cold aura swept out from his body and sealed Devil Ye's mouth. Then, he took out a jade slip and took Devil Ye's head from Ning Qi's hand. Devil Ye's expression was twisted. When Ning Qi saw this, a trace of a smile appeared in his eyes. He first checked the jade slip's authenticity, and after confirming that it contained information about the Underworld, he looked at Meng Tianshu with a faint smile and said, "Sect Leader Meng, it seems that your position in the Underworld is not simple."
"What position? Right now, I am just Meng Tianshu."
Meng Tianshu smiled faintly. With a flip of his hand, he put away Devil Ye's head.
Hu Cheng looked at Meng Tianshu suspiciously, and then looked at Ning Qi. He did not dare to believe it. Could it be that this person in front of him, who was not even a True Immortal, was actually a cultivator of the Underworld?
"How is this possible … Mother once said that cultivators of the Underworld come and go without a trace. Even she is not sure if the Underworld exists in this world …"
"Although the transaction is over, I have something to ask Sect Leader Meng."
Ning Qi smiled.
"Go ahead."
Meng Tianshu nodded with a smile.
"Whether a person can go to the Underworld depends not on their soul, but on their physical body."
Ning Qi smiled.
"If you have enough cultivation, where can't you go?"
Meng Tianshu did not answer directly.
Ning Qi got the answer he wanted. He smiled and took Hu Cheng Zi with him as he flew through the air.
Meng Tianshu stood where he was for a moment, then took out Devil Ye's head.
"Emperor, I was wrong. I beg you, for the sake of our past relationship, spare me this once!"
Devil Ye looked at Meng Tianshu in fear and begged for mercy.
"Back then, I saw that you were loyal, so I brought you to this world with me. I never thought that you would sneak attack me. You must not have known that I was still alive, right?"
