263: The obsession of the Hidden Demon Emperor is to find the Stone Clan!

Demon Island.

Inside a brightly lit Demon Hall.

The Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor walked straight in. This grand hall was very spacious, with only the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor's figure within it.

Other than that, only at the center of the hall was there a huge black demonic disc, inscribed with demonic patterns and floating with endless Immortal Qi demonic light, coiling and rotating like a stream of demonic radiance.

This demonic disc floated in mid-air, its aura far stronger than the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor himself. Above the demonic disc, many purple-black demonic lights manifested, resembling a phantom demonic shadow.

"Senior Yue, I suspect Guan Xun and Ju Qi have met with an accident. Therefore, I specifically came to ask if Senior could perform a divination to see if anything has happened to them?"

At this moment, the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor stood directly below the demonic disc, raising his hand and respectfully speaking to the demonic disc.

This demonic disc was the very foundation upon which Demon Island stood, an Immortal Relic, the Demon God Heavenly Calculation!

And the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor was speaking to none other than the Qi Spirit of the Demon God Heavenly Calculation, Qi Spirit Yue.

As soon as the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor spoke, no sound immediately came from within the Demon God Heavenly Calculation.

The demonic radiance of the demonic disc flowed continuously, and after the demonic disc rotated a few times, the voice of Qi Spirit Yue finally emerged: "The two of them have already pledged allegiance to Chu Yun of the Great Xia Dynasty."

"The Phoenix Clan incident was precisely ordered by Chu Yun for them to go and annihilate."

Upon hearing this, the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor's expression immediately changed: "What?!"

"They both defected to Chu Yun!"

"Damn it!"

"Senior Yue, what kind of demonic power is Chu Yun hiding? How could he make Guan Xun and Ju Qi defect to him?!"

Qi Spirit Yue said: "The heavenly secrets surrounding Chu Yun are very deep; the Demon God Heavenly Calculation cannot deduce everything about him."

"In short, do not offend this person if you can avoid it."

"As for Guan Xun and Ju Qi, since things have come to this, just let them be."

"Demon Island will not face destruction just because it lacks two Devil Emperors."

Qi Spirit Yue's words could be considered advice to the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor.

After all, as an Immortal Relic, Qi Spirit Yue was well-informed, and his premonition of unknown risks was incomparable to the Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor's.

"Yes, I understand."

The Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor frowned slightly, but still responded in the end.

He turned and left the Demon Hall. After returning to his own palace, he pondered bitterly with a gloomy expression.

Although Qi Spirit Yue told him to give up and not dwell on it.

However, as the master of Demon Island, he was the one who lost face.

Furthermore, the Heavenly Demoness, whom he constantly thought about, was by Chu Yun's side, but Qi Spirit Yue's words also directly told him to abandon his obsession with the Heavenly Demoness.

How could this be?!

What is an obsession? It is something one cannot let go of, knowing it is impossible but still trying every means to achieve it—that is an obsession!

The Heavenly Demoness has been resurrected, so this time, he, Netherworld Demon, must seize her Yin Yuan!

"Chu Yun... Chu Yun..."

The Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor pondered for a long time, his expression growing heavier, when suddenly, a flash of inspiration appeared in his mind.

He thought of a solution!

"Xiner, oh Xiner, to obtain you, this Emperor truly has to make a considerable sacrifice."

"I hope that by then, after absorbing your Yin Yuan, this Emperor can live up to expectations and step into the Immeasurable!"

The Netherworld Demon Devil Emperor's smile was somewhat deranged, and his eyes were a little frightening.

He summoned several trusted Devil Emperor high-ranking officials, temporarily entrusted the affairs of Demon Island to them, and then left Demon Island in his true form.

His destination was the southern part of the Divine Continent Pure Land, where one of the nine super-first-rate powers, the Stone Clan, was located!

...

Holy Land.

Within the Void Realm of the Great Xia Dynasty.

The Masked Man lay in the Void Realm, drifting with the current, his body constantly absorbing the power of heaven and earth to nourish himself.

Beside him, the Qiongqi King sat cross-legged in the Void Realm, like an old monk in meditation; that posture had remained unchanged.

"In eight days, people from the Ancient Soul Nest, Evil Infant Realm, and Ten Thousand Demons Divine Hall will all arrive."

"Do you want me to give you a chance to show off?"

The Masked Man's posture remained unchanged, his eyes still closed as he slowly spoke.

As Third Master's man, he had naturally received the news long ago.

He knew what kind of situation the Holy Land would face next.

"This old body of mine won't get involved in your affairs."

"Besides, with you here, plus the several Masters of the Thatched Cottage, the three major forces combined are nothing more than ants trying to shake a tree."

The Qiongqi King said indifferently.

The Masked Man's eyes slowly opened, gazing calmly at the Void Realm: "The Yuan Calamity will arrive in two years."

"At that time, if the Yuan Realm cannot withstand it, this era will completely end."

Upon hearing this, the Qiongqi King's expression also became extremely solemn. The worry and even fear of the Yuan Calamity seemed to be etched into his bones, and he sighed: "Hope is slim..."

"Even you, in your current state, are no match for the Yuan Calamity."

"Only by personally experiencing that calamity can one truly know how terrifying it is..."

The Masked Man looked at him meaningfully: "So now, you only seek to ensure the continuation of your descendants' Bloodline, and as for everything else, you no longer intend to bother?"

The Qiongqi King said: "It's not that I don't care, it's that I don't have the ability to care anymore."

He gave a self-deprecating smile: "I'm not afraid of you laughing at me."

"That Yuan Calamity back then scared me out of my wits, not only causing the demise of my clan but also making me lose all my spirit..."

"My fear is deeply rooted in my heart and cannot be erased."

"But my descendant is different; he is new life, and the only hope of my clan."

"No matter the cost, I must protect him, and I can only protect him."

Watching the Qiongqi King's self-mockery, the Masked Man showed no hint of ridicule on his face. He only felt the despair and fear he faced during the Yuan Calamity from his words.

The Masked Man fully understood, after all, the Yuan Realm Nine Ancestors back then were all peerless powerhouses at the Immortal King Peak!

Any one of them, placed in this era, would be a supreme expert capable of ruling the Yuan Realm.

Yet, these nine individuals, when facing the first Yuan Calamity, all perished, their Dao disappearing, completely annihilated.

"Don't be so pessimistic."

"This era is different from all previous eras."

"Even if Chu Yun and the Master fail, with him here, the Yuan Calamity will certainly not be able to successfully end this era."

"Your plan doesn't need to be implemented so quickly."

"Currently, Little Tiger is still weak, and teleporting him to another realm for survival poses no small risk."

The Masked Man advised.

The Qiongqi King pondered for a few seconds, then nodded: "I hope so. I've already opened the passage. If it still doesn't work at the last moment, I will send him out."]}
