"It seems that if my guess is right, the emperor figure that day is the so-called Demon Ancestor."
"After all, Ling Yanjun's status is already so high, so it is difficult for the person above her to be the emperor figure who can command Ling Yanjun."
"So many years have passed since the fall of the Heavenly Court."
"Even the Demon Emperor, who ranks 13th under Ling Yanjun's command, is already in the Emperor Realm. How terrifying is Ling Yanjun's strength now?"
"You just said that the Devil Court already knows that there will be cultivators from the inferior world coming here?" Li Mu asked.
"Yes," Demon Lord Thirteen said.
"In that case, apart from me, have you found anything else?" Li Mu asked, "Have you seen other cultivators from the inferior world?"
Demon Lord Thirteen was silent for a moment, then said, "Yes, they have been captured and put in prison. They are being interrogated."
"Huh?"
Li Mu was shocked.
"Have Hua Xiangrong and the others been caught?"
"Boom!"
At this moment, Demon Lord Thirteen's body suddenly exploded.
This power was comparable to the self-detonation of an Immortal Emperor. It instantly sent the entire hall flying. Broken stones and pillars scattered in all directions. The terrifying power formed layers of vibrating light waves visible to the naked eye, razing all the buildings within a kilometer to the ground.
Li Mu's figure was engulfed by the shock waves.
"Hahahaha …"
In the surging Black Demon Qi, the figure of Demon Lord Thirteen reappeared.
He laughed and said, "Stupid guy, do you really think you have completely controlled me? This Black Demon Disintegration Method is prepared for idiots like you, haha … eh? "
Before his laughter died away.
He saw a flash of broadsword light approaching in an instant.
"Swoosh!"
The broadsword light directly penetrated his forehead.
His Mud-pill Palace was instantly shattered.
"Ah …"
An extremely horrified and ferocious look appeared on his face, but then everything froze.
Demon Lord Thirteen's figure turned into thousands of flying ashes, slowly drifting away.
Li Mu slowly walked out of the black tide.
"Sure enough, I can't underestimate these guys. I almost fell into their trap. It seems that what he said before wasn't true. He was just answering along the lines of my question, trying to find the flaw in my heart and reverse the situation."
Li Mu's eyes swept over the ruins of the hall.
This time, the explosion instantly blasted countless black monsters into smithereens.
But there were many more in the periphery.
Li Mu launched a round of attacks.
He then captured several powerful black monsters and interrogated them one after another. However, the information he obtained was limited. The only thing he was sure of was that Demon Venerable Thirteen's description of the distribution of the Demon Court's forces was correct.
However, the Devil Ancestor had an extremely high status and was extremely mysterious. No one knew where he came from. When this person was mentioned, all the black monsters revealed expressions of fear and worship. For countless years, the Devil Ancestor had been in charge of the Middle Court. It had never been rotated like the Immortal Court in the past.
As for the whereabouts of Hua Xiangrong and the others, he could not be sure.
Li Mu secretly contacted those constellations through the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, but there was no useful news from them.
However, for Li Mu, he had already gained a lot.
At the very least, he knew the enemy's strength.
The enemy had moved from being in the dark to being in the light. They were no longer in the dark.
Furthermore, Li Mu found some demonic strategy scrolls in Demon Sovereign Thirteen's camp. After deciphering them, he finally had a complete map of the Southern Demon Court and the distribution of their military power.
The Southern Devil Court is ruled by the Qilin Race. Under Sacred Ancestor Ling Yanjun, there are thirteen Devil Monarchs. I killed one, so there are twelve left. They are all named by the number of characters. Thirteen is the weakest among them.
"Not only Hua Xiangrong and her companions, but also Sun Fei, Ding Hao, Immortal Master Mu Yun, and the others will definitely encounter the forces of the Devil Court. Now that we've basically figured out the situation, we can't act rashly. We'd better return to the port of Divine Essence Jade, regroup with the others, and then make plans."
Li Mu pondered for a while and made up his mind.
Through the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda, he ordered the constellations to find other groups of people to return to the port to reunite.
Li Mu also left the thirteen realms of the Demon Monarch at once.
A moment later, the news came.
Hua Xiangrong was one of them.
He was safe.
On the way back to the port.
Following this, Immortal Leader Mu Yun and the people from the Ascenders Camp also reported back.
Li Mu identified the direction and retreated to the port.
Half a day later …
Immortal Essence Divine Jade Port.
The crowd gathered again.
Just like Li Mu, all parties had encountered the forces of the Divine Court.
The people from the Ascenders Camp were unharmed.
Immortal Master Mu Yun's side lost two great experts, Emperor Yan and Emperor Chu.
Li Mu's side suffered the most serious loss.
Except for Hua Xiangrong, the Zhan Ancestor and the others were all killed in the battle.
"What on earth happened?"
Li Mu couldn't help but be shocked.
Hua Xiangrong said, "I encountered the Sixth and Eighth Demon Masters under the Divine Ancestor of the Southern Devil Court. They besieged me several times, and the Zhan Ancestor and the others died in the battle one after another. Under their cover, I fought to the death and escaped."
Sure enough, there were battle scars on her body, but fortunately, they were not fatal.
Li Mu hurriedly healed her.
They exchanged what they had learned from this exploration.
"The Devil Ancestor is in the center, and the Phoenix, the Dragon, and the Unicorn, as well as the descendants of the Devil Ancestor are in charge of the East, South, West, and North. There are countless masters under their command, and the Devil Army is tens of millions. I'm afraid it's difficult for us to fight against such a force."
Ye Qingyu also got the relevant information, and his tone was solemn.
Ding Hao said, "We don't need to fight them directly. We just need to find a way to stop the spread of the black tide."
Immortal Master Mu Yun chimed in, "That's right, that's what I'm thinking as well. According to the information we've gathered, the black tide isn't a natural phenomenon. Instead, there's an extremely evil object in the central courtyard known as the Devil Origin. It's this object that's releasing the boundless devil qi of the black tide. As long as we destroy it, we'll be able to stop the black tide from seeping into the central courtyard.
"Oh?" Ye Qingyu's eyes lit up, and he said, "Devil Origin? If that's the case, it's not impossible. We just need to sneak in. "
Hearing this, Li Mu also thought of something.
This time, they came to the Upper Three Heavens for two purposes.
The first was to find the legendary opportunity.
The second was to eliminate the source of the demon tide, and stop the Demon Qi from continuing to pollute the Middle Three Heavens and seeping into the mortal world.
The second was the top priority.
The first one could be planned slowly.
According to Immortal Master Mu Yun, if the source of all the black tide was the Devil Origin, things would become much simpler.
None of the people in front of them was not a top existence.
As long as the plan was right, it was not impossible to sneak into the Central Devil Court.
"We can split into five groups and sneak into the Devil Court. As long as one of them succeeds, we will achieve our goal. What do you all think?"
Hua Xiangrong said.
"Then who will be the leader, and who will be the assistant?" Sun Fei asked with his arms crossed.
"There's no need to divide into main and secondary. Each group will do their best. If we can sneak in all of them, that would be the best. If only one of them can sneak in, there's a chance of success," Immortal Master Mu Yun said.
He took out a map.
"This is the complete version of the map I found from the Tenth Demon King of the Eastern Devil Court. The terrain, the garrison of the Devil Army, and the formations and restrictions are all in it. You can all use it as a reference."
Immortal Master Mu Yun said.
