“You all are from the Celestial World?” The woman looked at them, astonished. Her brows then furrowed in vexation, “Why are you all in the Demon World?”

The few of them were stunned for a moment, they had not expected her to be able to see through their identities at a glance. They all turned to look at someone, what low-quality talisman had he given them?

Blackie: “...” It’s none of my business? I don’t know how she could tell either.

“There is no need to worry, I mean no harm.” The woman could see their apprehension and explained, “I didn’t expect that there would be other immortals other than me in the Demon World.” She produced a hand seal and removed some sort of spell. In the next second, the Immortal Qi around her became even more dense like it was about to become corporeal.

“Celestial Emperor!” Lonemoon exclaimed. He did not expect that she would have the cultivation level of a Celestial Emperor, no wonder she was able to see through their disguise.

“Perhaps you all have heard of me.” She sighed and gave them a friendly smile, then saying in a low voice, “I am Zhuo Hua, the Bo Sea’s Celestial Emperor.”

Yi Qing: “...”

Shen Ying: “...”

Blackie: “...”

The Bo ... Sea!

Lonemoon’s mouth twitched and pointed at the chef, saying, “What a coincidence, he’s also the Bo Sea’s Celestial Emperor.”

“...”

Also, what happened to Cuihua? Why was she Zhuo Hua now, was Zhan Ting an illiterate?

“This...” Zhuo Hua was shocked. She stepped forward and removed the talismans from Lonemoon and Yi Qing’s chests, she then reacted and sighed, “I’ve left the Celestial World for so many years, I didn’t expect that the Bo Sea had already changed its Celestial Emperor.”

Not just once, but twice!

“Emperor Zhuo Hua.” Lonemoon stepped forward, “Why are you in the Demon World? Could it be... Zhan Ting’s doing?”

“It’s not... completely him.” She frowned and appeared to be unwilling to go into the details. She invited them to have a seat at the side, then slowly said, “How did you enter the Demon World? The Demon World has been sealed, immortals should not be able to enter the Demon World.”

The few of them fell silent for a while before Lonemoon finally said, “Don’t you know... that the Celestial and Demon World are now one?”

“What?!” Zhuo Hua was shocked and jumped up from her chair. She clenched her fist and exclaimed, “How could this happen? The demons are definitely not to be trusted, back then it was only to stop the Demon World from invading that I... I didn’t expect that the Demon King now would also be an ambitious person! We have to stop the war between the two worlds!”

As she finished her statement, Blackie became weak at the knees and nearly fell off his chair, “Hey hey hey, don’t go around spouting nonsense like that, how am I ambitious? I haven’t done anything at all!” What the heck! What’s going to happen if the Exalted Goddess misunderstands? He turned around and hugged Shen Ying’s leg, “Exalted Goddess, the two worlds combining has nothing to do with me at all, you must trust me!”

“Scram!” His snot was getting on her leg.

“You... you’re the Demon King!” Zhuo Hua was astounded as she finally recognized Blackie.

“That’s right, I’m the Demon King Blackie, the incarnation of love and peace. My favorite pastime is peace, the friendliest kind! Whoever dares to start a war between the immortals and the demons will have to get through me!” Exalted Goddess, look at my pure gaze!

Lonemoon: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”

You’re a Demon King after all, can you have some values! What a disgrace, can I pretend I don’t know this fellow!

Zhuo Hua: “...” Isn’t the new Demon King called Li Yin? Has the Demon King changed too?

“Uh, that...” Lonemoon coughed and kicked the Demon King to the side, “There’s no need to worry, the Celestial and Demon World are at peace, there will not be a war.” As long as Shen Ying was around, getting to and fro the Celestial and Demon World would probably be like traveling overseas.

“How could it be...” She was stunned and could not react. The immortals and demons had been fighting for a long time and would not give in even until death. She had never expected that there would be peace one day.

“Emperor Zhuo Hua, the reason we’re here is regarding the gate to the Demon World, there are some things we want to ask the previous Demon King Zhan Ting.” Lonemoon hesitated for a moment before honestly stating their intentions.

“The gate to the Demon World?”

Lonemoon had thought that she would not agree easily. After all, the reason she had stayed in the Demon World would definitely be because of Zhan Ting. After some thinking, he added on, “We feel that the reason the Celestial and Demon Worlds combined into one is connected to the gate to the Demon World that Zhan Ting left in the Celestial World, so...”

“Okay.” Surprisingly, she agreed readily. She turned around and looked at the door, shouting coldly, “Get in here!”

“Okay, I’m coming, I’m coming.” Zhan Ting immediately entered the room and smiled brilliantly, “Darling, you’re finally willing to meet me. I knew you still cared about...”

“Shut up!”

“Oh.” Zhan Ting immediately became a sad quail.

Zhuo Hua did not even bother about him and turned around, looking at them, “Ask any questions you all have.” After she said that, she glared at Zhan Ting, “Answer them properly.”

“Sure darling, no problem darling.” Zhan Ting stood even straighter, as obedient as he could be. He then turned around to look at them, his expression suddenly changing to the domineering Demon King, what a flawless switch, “What is it, hurry up, I’m busy!”

Everyone: “...”

The Demon World was definitely a place without values.

Lonemoon reacted the quickest and asked in a serious voice, “We want to know if the gate to the Demon World was created by you. How did you know that opening the gate on the Emperor Ascension Stage would combine the two worlds? Also, was it you who pulled me and Shen Ying to this world?”

“What Emperor Ascension Stage? The two worlds combining?” Zhan Ting looked lost, “Indeed, I was the one who created the gate to the Demon World. Back then, the Demon World was sealed, Cuihua and I were separated by the two worlds, so I took the chance to send my subordinates to the Celestial World while the seal was weakening to set up a gate to the Demon World in the Bo Sea.”

“Bo Sea!” Lonemoon was stunned and immediately had an ominous feeling, it couldn’t be...

“That’s right!” Zhan Ting nodded and replied proudly, “Cuihua was the Bo Sea’s Emperor back then, so the gate naturally had to be set up there. The gate was actually only a special transportation array, moreover, it had to be assembled to be of use. So, once the gate to the Demon World was set up, I activated the array and brought her over, hehehe...”

“...” Holy shit! As expected, what was this result that was completely expected?

“Then, why did all the demons you sent think that the gate to the Demon World was a pathway to connect the two worlds?” Otherwise, Zi Chen wouldn’t have risked his life to open the gate.

“Oh, I swindled them into thinking that.” Zhan Ting replied nonchalantly. If he didn’t trick them into thinking he had a grand plan who would be willing to go to the Celestial World to help him find his wife, “In reality, the door couldn’t even be opened.”

“...” Damn it, this guy is too shameless!

So the entire plan to invade the Celestial World was a scam to help him find his wife from the beginning? They suddenly felt like lighting a candle for all the demons who had been in subterfuge in the Celestial World all these years, trying to open the gate to the Demon World.

This henpecked guy was definitely not the mastermind, definitely!

“Back then... I was indeed transported to this world by the gate to the Demon World.” Zhuo Hua walked forward and explained, “The gate has a camouflage spell on it, but in reality, it’s only a transportation array. Moreover, after it transported me, it should have lost its effectiveness.”

Lonemoon fell silent and he frowned even harder. They had seen the gate to the Demon World twice, it was obviously a passageway linking the two worlds. Afterwards, it had even combined the two worlds. However, Zhan Ting had no reason to lie to them, if the initial gate to the Demon World was merely a transportation array, something must have happened in the process. However, who would be able to tamper with the gate to the Demon World?

Moreover, the gate to the Demon World had only been set up in the Bo Sea, but when they first saw the gate to the Demon World, it was in the Invincible Sect in Feng Cang.

They felt as though the matter was getting more complicated, but all the hints had only led up to here.

For a while, everyone was silent.

“Chef, did you bring pen and paper?” Shen Ying asked suddenly.

“This...” Yi Qing did a double take. After a while, he took out a piece of white cloth and a bowl of black liquid, “Master, is brocade and soy sauce fine?” He had only brought these.

“I’ll make do!” She took them and placed them on the table.

“What are you doing?” Lonemoon asked curiously, but Shen Ying did not reply.

Yi Qing had taken out a brush and passed it to her, she doodled on the brocade and put down the brush and pointed at the picture on it, asking, “Have you seen this before?”

Everyone looked down and saw a crooked pendant drawn on the cloth, it looked like a pendant. Although the design was common, there was a strange pattern on the jade.

Zhan Ting’s eyes widened, “This pattern is...”
