Chapter 3848: Kill Him While He’s Sick

Feeling the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor leave, everyone present breathed a long sigh of relief.

Seeing Ye Bufan put away Little Dot, Qin Muyue asked, "Ye Dage, what was that thing? How could it be so powerful?"

"It's my pet. It has no other abilities, it just eats a lot."

He naturally wouldn't explain too much about the Little fellow, as countless troubles would arise once the information spread.

Aoyue Fairy knew that everyone had their secrets and didn't continue the topic, glancing at the remains left by Dongfang Daoyuan and the other person.

"Divine Doctor Ye, do you think the remaining people have all turned into this?"

"Probably not."

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and said, "If all those people had turned into Demon Puppet Warriors, it wouldn't have been just the two of them who made a move just now; a large number would have been dispatched.

Moreover, based on my observation, this thing contains a wisp of the Devil Emperor's demonic soul, and it's not something that can be created so easily.

Once it perishes, it will also cause a certain amount of damage to the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor."

Qin Muyue said, "So, are those people still alive?"

Although she was known as the Little Demoness, that was just a title. As a person from the Middle Heaven Region, she didn't wish for everyone else to perish here.

"Hard to say. Perhaps they are alive, or perhaps they are already dead. We'll know once we go and see."

Since there was no so-called Legacy here, and no Opportunity had been found, there was no need to remain here.

Ye Bufan led everyone back through the passage, soon returning to the main hall they had entered earlier.

Upon arriving here, everyone's expressions froze, dumbfounded.

Having only left a short while ago, there were such significant changes here, with traces of battle everywhere.

Although the flesh and blood of those people had been devoured by the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, the air was still filled with a strong bloody Qi, and scattered clothing and Storage Rings announced the death of their owners.

"How could this be? Are they all dead?"

Even though Aoyue Fairy had a cold personality, her voice trembled slightly at this moment.

Those were fifty to sixty Genius Disciples, and it was no exaggeration to call them the future of the Middle Heaven Region, heirs created by countless Sects pouring their financial resources into them.

And now, all of them were dead, their bodies and souls completely annihilated.

"Indeed, they are all dead."

Ye Bufan's expression also became extremely serious.

Qin Muyue clenched her fists: "Damn Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, to have killed so many people."

Ye Bufan checked the surroundings: "These people should have died at the hands of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, but it wasn't his direct action; it should have been mutual slaughter, and he ultimately reaped a huge benefit."

Then he stretched out a hand, and the scattered Storage Rings all landed in his palm. These people were already dead, but good things couldn't be wasted.

After counting, there were as many as fifty-nine fallen Storage Rings.

"This is truly infuriating. In all these years, never have so many people from the Middle Heaven Region perished in the Yuangu Secret Realm."

As Aoyue Fairy spoke, a surge of fear suddenly rose in her heart, filled with intense dread.

If not for Ye Bufan, she and Qin Muyue would probably have perished here as well.

Including the Disciples from Bixia Sect and the Qin Family, if Ye Bufan hadn't stopped them, they would probably have entered here, resulting only in death.

Just as she was lamenting, Qin Muyue said, "The number is wrong; there should be others alive."

Fifty-nine rings, plus Tan Ge and Dongfang Daoyuan, made sixty-one people, which was not enough for the number of people who had entered.

"It seems they entered the passage. Let's go and see what's over there."

Since the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor had been scared away, Ye Bufan no longer worried about any danger here, so he led everyone into a passage.

Reaching the end of the passage, they found it no different from the one they had entered, except that there were four more remains and Storage Rings on the ground.

"These are people from Tiandao Sect."

Although these people were completely annihilated, Aoyue Fairy still recognized their identities at a glance from their clothing.

Everyone else also realized that the four people Dongfang Daoyuan had brought in had all died here.

Looking at the table in the center of the room again, although they hadn't seen it, everyone could guess what had happened.

Dongfang Daoyuan must have eagerly put on that Crown of the King, ultimately becoming a Demon Puppet Warrior.

After inspecting this place and collecting the Storage Rings, everyone went to another passage. The scene was quite similar, except that here, several people from Guiyuan Sect had died, including Xifeng Lie.

"These people are too greedy."

Shen Qiyun shook her head, "How could an Immortal King's Legacy be so easy to obtain?"

Aoyue Fairy said, "Divine Doctor Ye, what should we do next? Should we leave here?"

"It's still early," Ye Bufan said, "We need to find the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor and eliminate him before we can leave."

When he finished speaking, the surrounding people were startled. To eliminate a Devil Emperor, even a wisp of a Clone, was not something just anyone could do.

Aoyue Fairy said nervously, "Divine Doctor Ye, can this work? Wouldn't it be too risky?"

"There's nothing to risk. Haven't you noticed? He's hiding from us now, which means his strength is not yet sufficient.

Once the Devil Emperor's Clone grows stronger, how severe will the consequences be?

So what we need to do now is to strike while he's weak, not give him a chance to grow."

Ye Bufan didn't want another powerful enemy by his side; the previous Donghua Immortal King had already made him suffer enough.

He had to eliminate the opponent in advance, otherwise, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Moreover, this was the Devil Emperor's Clone's lair, and there should be many treasures, only he hadn't found them yet.

Once the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor was found, the benefits would certainly be considerable.

The others thought about it and largely agreed with this idea. The Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor was still hiding and not showing himself, indicating he was extremely weak, which indeed was the best time to eliminate him.

Qin Muyue said, "But that hateful Old thing is hiding, and we have no way to find him."

"There is a way. Although he hasn't shown himself, one thing is certain: he must be within this forged Xuanji Hall.

This is his lair; he can't escape."

Although Ye Bufan and the others had entered the main hall, besides the previous main hall and three passages, they hadn't even covered a third of this grand hall. The remaining part must be the opponent's hidden lair.

Aoyue Fairy said, "But even so, we still can't determine where the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor is."

"We can't find it, but it probably can."

As Ye Bufan spoke, he stretched out a hand and summoned Little Dot again, issuing an instruction.

"Can you still find that guy from earlier? Just pinpoint his location."

"Squeak squeak!"

The Little fellow, still sleepy, seemed eager to go back to sleep. It raised a paw and pointed to the front left, then flashed and re-entered Ye Bufan's body.

Everything seemed easy. This was understandable, as it was originally the first demonic seed and the Bloodline Legacy of the Dragon Clan, possessing advantages that other species did not, making it easy to detect the aura of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor.

Ye Bufan looked up. It was the end of the passage, and to the front left was a thick stone wall.

With the previous example, no one doubted Little Dot. Knowing the exact location of the Devouring Heaven Demon Emperor, their hearts were filled with joy.

"I'll try and see if I can open it." Qin Muyue swung her sword, striking the wall.
