Lu Jian, Su Sheng, Ghost Husband, and Wu Kuang – all four were the top sect masters in the world.
It could be said that they were the four strongest cultivators in the human realm!
They were only one step away from breaking through their current realms and ascending to the Celestial Realm!
And there was only one reason that could bring the four of them together: a promise made to them by a certain Lord of the Upper Realm.
As long as they captured Luo Ruying and her daughter, who had escaped from the Celestial Realm, not only would they be helped to ascend, but they could also directly join their ranks!
To be able to join such a powerful force immediately upon ascending to the Celestial Realm was an irresistible temptation.
They had already obtained information about Luo Ruying and her daughter.
Luo Ruying, once a female emperor of the Celestial Realm, was now severely injured, her cultivation fallen below the Heavenly Human Realm.
This was an easy task for the four of them, who were the top experts in the world.
"Let's go, make it quick."
"If she cooperates, that's best. If not, just kill her."
"Remember, that little girl can't be killed. We have to take her back."
Lu Jian's expression was cold as he led the way, transforming into a streak of divine light and rushing towards the depths of the Yao Domain Forest.
Dealing with someone at the Heavenly Human Realm was too easy for him.
The other three looked at each other, each revealing a smug smile, and then transformed into streaks of divine light to follow.
A moment later, Lu Jian and his companions arrived at the depths of the Yao Domain Forest.
They had been able to sense a large number of demon beasts even on the periphery of the Yao Domain Forest, and occasionally some reckless ones would attack them.
Strangely, after reaching the depths of the Yao Domain Forest, they didn't find a single demon beast.
The depths of the Yao Domain Forest were said to be the territory of hundreds of demon kings, and anyone who entered was doomed!
Yet, they couldn't even see a single demon king now.
The silence was a little too unusual…
Lu Jian and the others hovered in the air, their gazes fixed on the surroundings of the Yao Domain Forest, but they didn't see anyone.
"Ghost Old, quickly use your Ghost Infant Puppet to track their exact location."
Lu Jian frowned and requested of the Ghost Husband beside him.
Without a specific location, it would be extremely difficult to find two people deep within the Yao Domain Forest.
The Ghost Husband's ugly face contorted into a fawning smile, and he said with great embarrassment:
"My Ghost Infant Puppet only sensed them nearby. Their exact location is unknown..."
"Tsk! The Ghost Infant Puppet, renowned for tracking souls across ten thousand miles, is nothing more than this."
Su Sheng clicked his tongue, saying with disdain.
The Ghost Husband just chuckled awkwardly, but didn't argue.
Wu Kuang ignored the others, seemingly having made a discovery. He flew down into the forest, where he found a spot of dried blood on a leaf.
He was particularly sensitive to the smell of blood; even the slightest trace wouldn't escape his nose!
The moment he arrived, he could vaguely smell a different kind of blood.
Wu Kuang picked off the blood-stained leaves and put them in his mouth, savoring them carefully, his expression gradually becoming excited.
"As expected of the Celestial Realm fairy's blood, the taste is different!"
"This taste really makes me hungry and thirsty!"
Lu Jian and the others saw Wu Kuang's excited and fanatical appearance, and all revealed expressions of disgust.
Rumor had it that this guy loved to drink blood, especially the blood of the strong. Every time he killed someone, he would drink their blood...
But it was also because of him that they finally found Luo Ruying's trail!
At least one thing was certain: that woman must be hiding in this Yao Domain Forest.
As long as they confirmed this, finding her would only be a matter of time!
"We'll split up and search!"
"Whoever finds her first, send a signal."
Lu Jian said to the other three.
The other three were very unhappy with Lu Jian issuing orders to them, but they didn't say much and silently dispersed. After all, the order from the Lord of the Upper Realm was more important.
If they couldn't bring Luo Ruying and her daughter back, they wouldn't be able to ascend to the Celestial Realm, and would even be annihilated for angering that Lord of the Upper Realm!
In a certain cave, the Chaos Bull Demon, the Titan Great Ape, and the Devouring Heaven Serpent silently watched as Lu Jian and the other three split up.
"Someone else is here…"
"To barge around so brazenly in my Yao Domain Forest is simply too much!"
"Should we go and teach them a lesson?"
The Titan Great Ape proposed to the other two with indignation.
"Are you crazy?!"
"What if they're also one of that Lord's people?"
"You saw how Xuanlin died, didn't you…!"
The Devouring Heaven Serpent said with a look of terror.
Whenever she recalled Ning Yechen's face, she couldn't help but tremble all over…
The Chaos Bull Demon and the Titan Great Ape also fell silent.
If it were a hundred years ago, they would have charged forward without hesitation and killed those people!
But now they didn't dare to take the risk…
It wasn't that they feared those four people, but rather, they feared that Lord…
"Forget it, let's just pretend we didn't see anything…"
"That's right, let's go, play cards!"
"Mm, alright…"
The Chaos Bull Demon and the other two, their opinions remarkably aligned, walked back to the cave, arms slung over each other's shoulders.
The demon kings were usually at each other's throats, always fighting over territory. Who would have thought three demon kings would get along so harmoniously?
Meanwhile,
After separating from Lu Jian and the others, the Ghost Husband revealed a cunning smile. He immediately took out the Ghost Infant Puppet and raced off in the direction indicated by the puppet's gaze.
His Ghost Infant Puppet could, of course, track the exact location!

The reason he hadn't told Lu Jian and the other two was, of course, to hog all the credit!
If he could take down Luo Ruying and her daughter by himself and hand them over to that Lord of the Upper Realm, he would definitely receive a much richer reward!
Maybe he could even monopolize the dream of ascending to the Celestial Realm!
At that time, wiping out the other three major sects would be a piece of cake!
Thinking of this, Ghost Husband couldn't help but grin, his lips practically splitting.
Hmm?
Not long after, Ghost Husband's expression froze. He stopped, his gaze fixed on the front, and slowly extended his withered palm.
His palm was like it was pressed against a completely transparent, invisible pane of glass, unable to advance even an inch further.
A Barrier/Formation…!
"Heh heh heh, found it~"
The Ghost Husband tilted his head, a look of excited, crazed joy spreading across his face.
She's inside! The fact that a Barrier/Formation had been deployed here was a dead giveaway!
This little formation couldn't possibly stop him~
Thick, viscous black liquid welled up from his palm, flowing onto the Barrier/Formation.
The black liquid trickled down the formation, eroding it until a large hole appeared, as if it were melting!
The Ghost Husband effortlessly stepped through the Barrier/Formation, entering without a sound.
He had to hurry before Lu Jian and those other idiots noticed!
Meanwhile, inside the wooden house, Ning Yechen, who was playfully bickering with Luo Hongye, suddenly frowned, a look of displeasure on his face.
What, someone's here again…!
And they destroyed the Barrier that his wife so painstakingly set up!
Doesn't anyone know that what he hates most is being disturbed when he's spending time with his wife and children!
