Two hours later.
The spirit of the demon lord walked out from the door with a smile on her face, clearly feeling accomplished.
“Sorry to keep you waiting, I have taken care of my matters. Please follow me,” she said, bowing slightly and gesturing for the two to follow.
With that, the spirit of the demon lord stepped inside the Security Bureau first.
The Demon Palace Security Bureau covered a vast area, with simple decorations inside. However, the walls were sporadically stained with blood, hinting at the events that might have occurred here involving Feili and others.
But those things had become a thing of the past. Both the spirit of the demon lord and Bai, along with Tang Haofei, had no ties to Feili and naturally did not care about the life and death of the Demon Palace Security Bureau.
The spirit of the demon lord led the two downwards, and soon they arrived at the underground secret chamber of the Security Bureau. Standing in front of the teleportation array in the center of the chamber, the spirit of the demon lord's gaze deepened. After a moment, she waved her hand to activate the teleportation array.
As a halo flashed by, the teleportation array emitted light, and Creation Energy surged from the spirit of the demon lord, enveloping the array. After a brief moment, she let out a light breath.
“Success... this teleportation array hasn’t changed at all.”
Just as she was about to step into the teleportation array to face her fate that had haunted her for countless years, she was unexpectedly grabbed by Bai, who tugged at her sleeve.
“Let’s go together...”
Bai smiled as he pulled Tang Haofei along, and the three of them stepped into the teleportation array side by side.
Then, there was boundless darkness...
...
The void realm was eerie and expansive.
Once, Wen Yu had spent an unknown amount of time traversing the void realm before arriving at the Temple of the Void Realm.
Tang Haofei and the others experienced the same ordeal.
Surrounded by nothingness, all their senses were stripped away. Just after entering the void realm through the teleportation array, they were greeted by an endless emptiness... they didn’t even realize they had arrived at the Demon Palace 999th Layer!
Everything was exactly the same as Wen Yu had encountered...
But soon, Bai began to emit light.
Specks of light poured from Bai's embrace, transforming into luminous bands that extended toward a certain direction—the locator left for Bai by the sovereign was functioning at this moment.
The hazy white light dispelled the void's emptiness, illuminating a small area around the three. Under the coverage of the white light, their vision was restored, and they could hear again, no longer feeling the previous confusion.
“This place is quite interesting,” Bai was the first to speak, looking at the void realm with a look of curiosity. Tang Haofei nodded—ever since the mission began, he had been quiet, resembling a loyal follower.
Only the spirit of the demon lord was breathing rapidly, seemingly eager. But just as she was about to take a step forward, Bai interrupted again.
“Wait... there’s something we haven’t finished.”
With that, Bai took out a glowing orb from his embrace.
As the symbols on the orb flickered, it suddenly floated up, and an eye emerged from within the orb, its cold gaze seemingly assessing everything in the world.
“Master.”
“Your Majesty the Sovereign.”
The three bowed their heads, and the large eye within the orb appeared somewhat sluggish. After a moment, it emitted a mental wave.
“Go ahead and complete your task. I will be watching you from outside.”
With that, the sovereign fell silent, while Bai simply fixed the orb above his head, then gestured for the spirit of the demon lord to lead the way.
...
Initially, Wen Yu had spent an unknown amount of time passing through the void realm.
But with guidance, Tang Haofei and the others were not troubled by the emptiness. Their goals were clear, and they moved swiftly, taking only ten minutes to exit the void realm.
