Half a month later, in the sky above the depths of the Demon Realm, with Daoist Qing Xin in the lead, three cultivators of the same level followed behind. The direction of their journey was very clear. They were flying straight towards the ruins of the Beast King's Cave.
Daoist Qing Xin's face was full of worry as they flew. As for Yi Shun and Meng Luan, they had their own plans. As for Yi Tian, he was the most relaxed. He knew more about the secrets of the Beast King's Cave than the others.
However, there were still many questions in his heart this time. Why would Fire Chain let Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul search unscrupulously in the depths of the Demon Realm and even lock onto his final target?
Looking at Daoist Qing Xin who was leading the group, Yi Tian quietly asked, "I wonder if Fire Chain and the others have confirmed the whereabouts of Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul. Is it feasible for us to go straight to the Beast King's Cave and wait for him?"
"Yes, the strength of Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul is limited. If he wants to survive in the Demon Realm, he will definitely be besieged by many Demon Venerables." Daoist Qing Xin explained, "With his reputation, he is naturally hated by everyone. No one will collude with him, except for those old subordinates who followed him in the past."
"So he will definitely return to the Floating Corpse Prison and destroy the seal there. Then, he will release all the souls suppressed in the statue," Yi Tian continued.
"Yes, Master has seen this point. That's why he made this plan. It's not that he doesn't want to completely destroy his soul, but he can't do it." Daoist Qing Xin mentioned again, "Back then, even the powerful Divine Phoenix Empress couldn't completely destroy Emperor Yuanhao's soul. She could only settle for the second best by sealing it. With our strength, we can only do it step by step."
No wonder the Red Beard Spirit Ape senior would make such a plan. It seems that there is no other way. Thinking of this, Yi Tian thought of the World Cleansing Lotus mark that he left on the forehead of Emperor Yuanhao's remnant soul. At that time, it was the mark that allowed him to break free from the control of the Soul Controlling Flag. It seemed that he had done something bad out of kindness.
If he hadn't done that, he, Daoist Qing Xin, and Yi Shun would have been in a lot of trouble under Yan Peigong's control.
Speaking of which, he had indirectly contributed to the chaos caused by the remnant soul of Emperor Yuanhao's true body. With his carefree Dao heart, he naturally had to deal with it.
After flying for half a day, the four of them arrived at a mountain near the Beast King's Cave. There was already an old man in his sixties waiting there. After landing on the cloud, Daoist Qing Xin hurriedly walked forward and kowtowed, "Disciple is unfilial. My benevolence led to the chaos of Yan Peigong and even released the remnant soul of Emperor Yuanhao. This time, Grandmaster has to personally come out and clean up the mess. I feel very uneasy."
The Red Beard Spirit Ape waved his hand and said, "Although this matter is not caused by you, there is also the crime of negligence and dereliction of duty. However, considering that you usually work hard for the sect, I will not allow you to do anything. I will do my best to make up for what I have done in this matter. After this matter is over, I will resign from the position of Sect Master and concentrate on cultivating in seclusion. The matters of the sect will be left to Xuan Jizi. "
"I will follow Master's orders. I have already given all the Sect Master's tokens to Junior Martial Brother. After he announces to the world, he can officially become the new Sect Master." Daoist Qing Xin's eyes were filled with tears. He said gratefully, "Thank you Master for giving me this opportunity to make up for my mistakes."
"Alright, get up. It's about time. The fire chain should have already chased after Emperor Yuanhao's true body and is about to enter the restriction boundary. Let's take another path." The Red Beard Spirit Ape waved his hand and stopped Daoist Qing Xin. Then, he took the lead and flew out.
Yi Tian noticed that it was a full moon night. He didn't expect the Red Beard Spirit Ape to know the trick of this boundary and know how to deal with it. Usually, Dark Xuan Jizi said that the Three Moons Shine Together was just to give the younger generation of the Demon Clan an idea so that they could enter the Yuanhao Empire to train. As for serious matters, there were still many ways to enter the restriction boundary during the night of the full moon.
As if noticing the strange expression on his face, the Red Beard Spirit Ape secretly transmitted his voice, "Little friend Yi, we meet again. I didn't expect the Lihuo Palace's direct disciple to be so strong. Looks like after Daoist Wu Ye solves his own problems, he will pass the position to you."
His expression didn't change. Yi Tian's eyes flashed. Then, he lowered his head and the corner of his mouth moved slightly. He replied with a voice transmission, "Senior's vision is like a torch. I admire you. It's just that there was Senior Martial Brother before me. In terms of seniority, it won't be my turn. Moreover, my heart belongs to the Great Dao. I have no other distractions. Some identities are like fleeting clouds to me. "
"What a good saying." The Red Beard Spirit Ape continued, "I heard from Dark Xuan Jizi that you have escaped from the restriction boundary of the Beast King's Cave at other times. Looks like you have found the trick."
"Senior, please calm down. Junior knows that this place concerns the safety of the Demon Realm. It's not that I want to hide it intentionally. It's just that it's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. Isn't this also in line with Senior's wishes?" Yi Tian skillfully pushed the topic back to the Red Beard Spirit Ape.
"You are trying to act innocent after gaining benefits. I didn't expect that among Brother Wu Ye's disciples, you are the slickest." The Red Beard Spirit Ape laughed, "That Ji Xuanyuan does things by the book. Due to Fangzheng's slickness, this is also where his bottleneck lies."
"Oh, Senior also knows about my Senior Martial Brother? May I know what kind of person he is? "Yi Tian was instantly interested after hearing the Red Beard Spirit Ape's words.
"This is a matter of your Lihuo Palace, it's not convenient for me to interfere. I believe you have already met Han Liu and Ceng Shun. Speaking of which, their temperament is similar to Ji Xuanyuan. It's a stark contrast compared to you, "the Red Beard Spirit Ape replied.
Unable to tell if the Red Beard Spirit Ape was praising him or mocking him, Yi Tian only showed a slight bitter smile on his face. Just as he was about to continue asking, the Red Beard Spirit Ape said to everyone, "We have arrived at the entrance. But there's still some time left. I believe Fire Chain is also waiting at the side."
"How did Fire Chain and the others enter the restriction boundary?" Yi Shun asked curiously, "Did the two of them enter after Yuanhao Great Emperor?"
"It's probably the same situation," the Red Beard Spirit Ape said, "Using the restriction breaking stone can open the restriction boundary for some time. It's enough time for the three of them to enter. Also, Fire Chain will find an opportunity to let Yuanhao Great Emperor's remnant soul in first before forcefully entering before the opening of the restriction boundary closes. "
As the Red Beard Spirit Ape spoke, the light barrier in front of them began to tremble slightly. After a few flashes, it became more solid. Upon seeing this, Daoist Qing Xin's expression changed slightly, "Grandmaster, could it be that Yuanhao Great Emperor saw through our intentions and took action before the moon was full?"
