Bai Liufeng waved his hand, and the door of the room immediately closed.

Then, he addressed Dongfang Qing.

"Because I’m tired of life in the Devil Sect."

Bai Liufeng spoke truthfully.

After killing so many, he felt that killing was nothing special.

Saving people, on the other hand, brought him more pleasure.

Dongfang Qing’s cold eyes narrowed as he carefully scrutinized Bai Liufeng, realizing that this person was not lying.

Since ancient times, the reason The Path of Demons could not be eradicated was that many from the righteous path colluded with the demonic.

Even disciples of the righteous path could turn to demons, making The Path of Demons seemingly endless.

"How much do you know about the Demon Sect?"

Dongfang Qing asked.

Bai Liufeng quickly started explaining.

"In our Devil Sect, the hierarchy is clear: there are Demon Warriors, Demon Marquis, Demon Emperor, Devil Sect, and Demon Emperor. I belong to the Demon Marquis level. Above me is the Demon Emperor, but beyond that, I know little about the higher-ups in the Devil Sect."

Upon hearing this, Dongfang Qing’s brows furrowed tightly.

The Demon Sect had a large number of people, and wiping them out wouldn’t be easy.

Moreover, this person in front of him only knew about the Demon Emperor; it seemed necessary to become acquainted with the Demon Emperor to understand the higher echelons of the Devil Sect.

"Let’s go."

The two quickly arrived inside the cave mansion.

From afar, Dongfang Qing could smell the thick scent of blood. As soon as he stepped into the cave mansion, a cold and damp wind blew in.

Walking through this cavern, he felt uncomfortable all over.

Soon, the two entered the Blood Lake Palace.

Dongfang Qing gazed at the island in the center of the churning blood water, where a red-haired monster sat, and his expression immediately became grave.

"This is up to you now, farewell."

Bai Liufeng ran directly towards the cave entrance.

If the Demon Emperor knew he had betrayed him, the entire Devil Sect would surely hunt him down.

So Bai Liufeng didn’t want the Demon Emperor to discover he was the traitor.

Dongfang Qing stood by the Blood Lake with a deep gaze, watching the Demon Emperor.

Strands of blood energy rose from the Blood Lake, gathering toward the Demon Emperor.

There were eight dark positions on the Blood Lake, which seemed to form a formation.

And the Demon Emperor was using this formation to cultivate spiritual energy.

The Demon Emperor suddenly opened his eyes and, seeing someone by the Blood Lake, immediately roared in fury.

The Demon Emperor had an explosive temperament and hated anyone appearing during his cultivation.

"Where did this cultivator come from, daring to break into my Blood Lake Palace? Do you have a death wish?"

Sound waves infused with energy spread throughout the cave instantly.

The Blood Lake seethed with waves.

A table by the Blood Lake vibrated and cracked under the pressure, showing the abundance of spiritual energy within the body.

Dongfang Qing circulated his spiritual energy, forming a barrier beside him.

The sound waves couldn’t harm him in the slightest.

"If you want to know my name, go ask King Yan."

Dongfang Qing cast out a flying sword.

"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin."

A sword flew out, transforming into ten thousand long swords mid-air.

The long swords, like a river of swords, rushed toward the Demon Emperor.

Seeing this, the Demon Emperor flew directly toward Dongfang Qing, transforming into a blood sword.

Boom~

The blood sword, formed by the Demon Emperor, collided with the ten thousand swords, and a powerful energy wave spread in all directions.

Instantly, the blood water in the Blood Lake exploded.

"Lesser Yang Sword Technique."

Dongfang Qing’s pupils constricted suddenly, noticing a flaw in the Demon Emperor’s liver.

Flicking his finger, a sword qi shot from the Shaochong acupoint, striking heavily on the blood sword.

Boom~

The blood sword was instantly shattered into segments by the sword qi.

The Demon Emperor’s body fell heavily to the ground, spitting out blood, looking at Dongfang Qing in disbelief.

As a prominent figure in the Demon Sect, how could I lose to an unknown, nameless person?

Before dying, he at least needed to know whose hands he died by.

"Who exactly are you, and why are you opposing me? We have no grudge or animosity; as far as I know, I haven’t offended you."

The Demon Emperor asked with a face of shock.

"This world needs peace, and the appearance of your Devil Sect has disrupted that peace, which is why you must die." 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂

"Tell me where the Devil Sect is; if you say, it can make your death a bit easier."

Dongfang Qing said coldly.

Upon hearing this, the Demon Emperor sneered and then self-destructed his inner core.

The powerful energy instantly radiated out from him as the center, causing the space to almost distort.

At the same time, the entire cave began to tremble, with boulders falling down.

Dongfang Qing transformed into a green light, flying toward the cave exit.

"Now that the Demon Emperor is dead, the information on the Devil Sect has been severed. I have to search for clues again."

Dongfang Qing walked briskly toward the city.

The Devil Sect had always been arrogant and rampant, so gathering information about them wasn’t too difficult.

Meanwhile, Wang Ye appeared in a valley.

The air in the valley was sweet, surrounded by large trees and green bamboo, with plenty of fruits.

A giant lake lay at the bottom of the valley, where fish leaped, and at this moment, the evening sun painted the lake’s surface with a layer of golden light, making it very beautiful.

Wang Ye stood by the lake, hands clasped behind his back.

His deep gaze looked toward the depths of the lake.

Mist shrouded the depths of the lake.

"This should be the entrance to the demon race, but now it’s winter, and white mist covers the sky. Finding the entrance in the vast ocean is extremely difficult."

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ye decided to reside by the lake.

He would wait for the demon mist to clear before continuing his search for the demon race.

He then returned to the forest and quickly built a bamboo house.

After that, he returned to the lakeside, where he caught a big fish with a simple flick of his hand.

Holding the fish, he returned to the pavilion and began roasting it. Soon, the golden fish emitted a tantalizing aroma.

Seeing this, he carved a pair of chopsticks from bamboo and began eating the roasted fish in large chunks.

After a hearty meal, Wang Ye lay in the pavilion, pointing to open the skylight. The night sky was filled with starlight, and the world around him was surprisingly silent.

Gazing at the galaxy, his heart was indescribably calm.

"The starry sky is truly beautiful, but this thick fog will likely linger until next spring, and I have to wait for another three months."

Thinking about spending the next three months in waiting, he felt a bit bored.

He immediately took out a cultivation manual from his chest.

"This cultivation technique is called the Light and Shadow Sword Technique, and it is said that once mastered, time can slow down."

He gently caressed the manual.

Excitement appeared in his eyes.

If he could learn just one level, time could slow; and if he learned three levels, he could reverse time.

"It’s truly a powerful cultivation technique. If I master it, in three months, I’ll be a graceful young man again."

Placing the cultivation manual aside, he lay on the bed and drifted into sleep, still surrounded by a pile of burning firewood, making the bamboo house incredibly cozy.

At this moment, a white fox appeared outside the pavilion, with green light shining in its eyes.

After arriving outside the pavilion, she quickly transformed into a human form.
