The man fell silent after hearing the other party's words...
He couldn't deny that if he were to return to support his companions, it was highly likely that they would all perish here!
Whereas if he took the opportunity to leave now, there might still be a glimmer of hope for survival!!
Thinking of this, he immediately made a decision...
He stared at the Demon Emperor and said, "Demon Emperor, you don't seem to be as cruel and ruthless as the rumors suggest!!"
This time, it was the Demon Emperor who was stunned...
She was very clear about what her true nature was!
But she never expected the other party to say such a thing!
Thus, with a complex expression, she responded, "Am I to understand that this is your way of mocking me?"
Keep in mind, the number of humans who have died by my hand is not merely in the hundreds... but in the thousands...
However, the former merely shook his head, "No, it's not mockery, but admiration. Perhaps you and the evil Soul Masters like the Ghost Emperor are fundamentally different!"
The Demon Emperor turned her head slightly, speaking coldly, "If you're trying to distract me with your words, there's no need. You can leave now!"
"Otherwise, if I change my attitude later, you too will have to die here!!"
The words of the man in front of her, for some reason, actually made her feel an emotion called embarrassment!!
The man took a deep breath upon hearing this, "If that's the case, then thank you very much!!"
Even though she was an evil Soul Master, he did indeed owe her a favor!
Having said that, he glanced once more in the direction from which he had come, then burst forth at his greatest speed and disappeared from the area...
Only after his presence had completely vanished did the Demon Emperor mock herself, "I, the mighty Demon Emperor of the Holy Spirit Cult, have actually been thanked by someone. How ridiculous!"
Immediately after, she glanced at her body, unharmed...
"If I don't have any injuries, the Ghost Emperor might notice something. I'd better do something about it!"
At once, the Demon Emperor forcibly caused the Soul Power within her body to go into disarray, violently assaulting her internal organs...
The next second, a "puh" sound was heard as she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood...
And her whole demeanor fell into a state of decline...
After doing all this, she turned her gaze towards the direction of the imperial palace and quickly made her way back...
...
Xingluo Empire!
Imperial palace!
Looking at Dai Yueyan in front of her, Dai Yun'er couldn't help biting her thin lips, taking the lead in speaking, "Brother, there's something I hope you can tell me!"
The former was taken aback for a moment but then laughed softly, "Yun'er, why stand on ceremony between us? Ask whatever you want to know!"
Dai Yun'er sighed with relief, then asked, "I want to know about Xu Sheng who came to teach me in the imperial palace back then, how is he now?"
Dai Yueyan's mind went blank for a moment...
However, he quickly remembered who Xu Sheng was, the one his sister mentioned!
Quite surprised, he said, "Xu Sheng? After so many years, you still remember him. Could it be that... "
Before he could finish, Dai Yun'er shook her head, dismissing the possibility...
"Brother, don't overthink it. I have no interest in matters of the heart at the moment. I just want to know how he is doing!"
"After all, he can be considered half a teacher to me!"
Having traveled the Continent for so many years, her emotions had gradually faded!
Dai Yueyan watched her for a few seconds, but indeed did not perceive any emotions of shyness or embarrassment...
```
He immediately nodded and said, "Sure, I can tell you. It's not a secret anymore anyway!"
"Xu Sheng is actually not a person from the Lower Realm but comes from the Divine Realm!"
Dai Yun'er's eyes flickered with intense surprise, "What?? Xu Sheng is from the Divine Realm??"
Dai Yueyan nodded slightly, "Yes, this has been confirmed by the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion!"
The shock on Dai Yun'er's face gradually turned into a bitter smile, "No wonder, no wonder Xu Sheng was unwilling to accept me."
How could people from the Divine Realm and the Lower Realm be together?
Whether it's the vision or strength, there is a world of difference!!
After calming her emotions, she asked again, "Then brother, since Xu Sheng is from the Divine Realm, he must have returned there by now, right?"
Dai Yueyan fell silent…
Seeing this, Dai Yun'er also sensed something and hurriedly urged, "Brother? Could it be that something happened to Xu Sheng?"
Dai Yueyan looked at her with a somewhat reluctant gaze but still chose not to hide the truth…
"Yes, even though Xu Sheng is a God, he got sucked into a black hole while trying to confront the Abyssal Emperor who broke through to the Divine King level!"
"Since then, he has completely disappeared!"
No matter what, the man was someone his sister had once liked, so she must be feeling very lost!
And sure enough, upon hearing these words, Dai Yun'er's expression stiffened…
"Doesn't that mean Xu Sheng is dead?"
A strong sense of loss kept spilling out…
Dai Yueyan coughed and explained, "Sister, that's not necessarily the case, according to the deductions of Soul Master experts from various major powers!"
"If Xu Sheng hasn't perished, there's a greater probability that he has returned to the past!"
Little did he know, this didn't calm Dai Yun'er down but rather stirred her up again…
"Returned to the past? Does that mean... he could be trapped forever and never return to this world??"
Dai Yueyan covered his forehead, unable to help but remind her, "Well, sister, you shouldn't view Xu Sheng with common sense"
"He is a God from the Divine Realm, not a mere Soul Master. Even if he has gone back to the past, he likely has a way to return!"
"Perhaps, he just wants to take care of the Abyssal Emperor in the past??"
He himself hoped that was the case, otherwise, if the Abyssal Emperor returned to the present, he might prove even more troublesome than the Ghost Emperor!
As expected, after he spoke these words, Dai Yun'er's eyes regained their brightness…
"This... makes sense. Since Xu Sheng is a God, it shouldn't be difficult for him to return from the past to the present!"
"Moreover, if he managed to force the Abyssal Emperor to open the black hole, his strength must be at least on the level of a Divine King!"
Although she didn't know the specifics about God and Divine King, she imagined there must be a significant gap!
It was only then that Dai Yueyan revealed a smile again, "See? Just analyze it seriously, and you'll know there's a high likelihood of Xu Sheng safely returning!"
No matter what, he did manage to soothe her emotions!
Having calmed herself, Dai Yun'er expressed her gratitude, "Brother, thank you for telling me such important news!"
"We are siblings, it's no big deal!"
He paused for a moment, seeming to recall something, and asked with a hint of suspicion, "But Yun'er, the State Preceptor asked you to see him when you have time a few days ago, haven't you forgotten?"
The former immediately snapped back to reality, somewhat panicked, "Oh no!"
"Then, brother, I must excuse myself!!"
Without waiting for a response, she turned and left the hall…
