After Xu Nian had a conversation with the Demon God Palace Master.

The Master then left.

Xu Nian looked at Lan Xi.

At this moment, Lan Xi had reached the most crucial stage of her evolution.

Xu Nian did not disturb her, instead, he took her into the Chaos Divine Palace.

Very soon, Xu Nian walked out of the cave.

Unexpectedly, on the way back, Xu Nian encountered the Female Demon God descending from the Divine Realm.

"Are you planning to return to the Immortal Realm?" the Female Demon God asked.

"Uh?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected her to ask such a question.

"I plan to return to the Immortal Realm, do you intend to join me, Demon God Lord?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"Yes, I do plan to go with you," the Female Demon God replied.

Xu Nian was again surprised.

Was the Female Demon God really going to the Immortal Realm with him?

Could it be that the fragment they’re looking for is in the Immortal Realm?

Xu Nian’s eyes betrayed his astonishment.

"I intend to go to the Immortal Realm to find something; if you’re returning there, you can lead the way," the Female Demon God said. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Xu Nian was shocked.

Is the thing really in the Immortal Realm?

However, whether it’s in the Immortal Realm or not, at least it doesn’t seem to be in the Demon Realm.

During this time, the Female Demon God must have traversed the entire territory of the Demon Realm.

Apparently, nothing was discovered.

"In that case, accompany me then, Demon God Lord," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Alright, in three days, I’ll meet you at the square," the Female Demon God said and disappeared.

Xu Nian was left feeling helpless.

He hadn’t even decided to leave in three days yet.

But everything here had been dealt with, so there was no point in staying longer.

Three days it is!

Then Xu Nian returned to the Phoenix Clan’s great hall.

And informed everyone of his impending departure.

"You’re leaving?" Luo Shang frowned deeply.

Although she anticipated Xu Nian’s departure, she hadn’t expected it to be so soon.

"Yes, I originally came here to rescue Little Yu, and now that Little Yu is free, there’s no need for me to stay any longer," Xu Nian explained.

Luo Shang remained silent.

Beside her, Huo Tianqiu was also silent.

"Husband, no matter where you go, I’ll go with you," Luo Xue said.

"Yes, me too!" Huo Baiyu chimed in.

"Bai Yu, you should stay; the Demon Realm is more suitable for your cultivation," Xu Nian refused.

"But Master, I want to stay by your side," Huo Baiyu said.

Xu Nian shook his head with a smile, "A master leads you to the door of cultivation, but personal progress is on your own. I’ve taught you all you need to know; the rest is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Huo Baiyu pouted stubbornly but had to agree, "Alright, can I go to the Immortal Realm to find you once I’ve succeeded in my cultivation?"

"I’ll be waiting for you in the Divine World," Xu Nian smiled.

"Alright, I’ll definitely go find Master in the Divine World by then!" Huo Baiyu said with determination.

Divine World?

Huo Tianqiu and Luo Shang both thought silently to themselves.

They also set silent goals in their hearts.

To successfully cross the tribulation and go to the Divine World.

"Little Yu, what about you? Are you coming back to the Immortal Realm with me or staying in the Demon Realm?" Xu Nian asked.

"Big brother, I..." Xu Yu stammered.

Xu Nian immediately understood and said with a smile, "Alright, then you stay in the Demon Realm, and I’ll wait for you in the Divine World."

"No problem, big brother, I will definitely succeed in crossing the tribulation," Xu Yu said with the same determination.

Hearing this, Xu Nian laughed, "By the way, see if you can find the whereabouts of the Bull Demon King in the Demon Realm. I didn’t seem to encounter him this time."

"Sure, I’ll definitely find the old bull; I did meet him once before," Xu Yu said.

Xu Nian nodded.

Then he turned to look at Luo Shang, "Now that Sikong Wushang is dead, the Dragon Clan shouldn’t pose too much of a threat to the Phoenix Clan anymore. As for your father, he had no other choice."

Due to the events at the previous Demon God Ceremony, things had remained awkward between Luo Shang and the Phoenix Emperor.

They hadn’t spoken since.

"I understand!" Luo Shang nodded.

Xu Nian nodded and then looked at Huo Tianqiu, "The position of Vice Clan Leader in the Snake Clan should be taken back by the Clan Leader; I’m afraid I can’t hold this position."

"Actually, I also plan to resign as Snake Clan Leader and hand over the entire Snake Clan to Bai Yu, and then find a secluded place to cultivate in preparation for the divine tribulation," Huo Tianqiu said.

Xu Nian looked at Luo Shang in surprise.

"Indeed, I discussed it with Sister Huo; I plan to leave the Phoenix Clan and retreat into cultivation with her," Luo Shang said.

Xu Nian understood.

"That works too," Xu Nian nodded in agreement.

Soon, the three days quickly passed.

Xu Nian, accompanied by Luo Xue, arrived at the square.

Huo Baiyu, Ice Blue, Xu Yu, and Luo Xia came to see him off.

However, Luo Shang and Huo Tianqiu did not come.

Xu Nian felt a bit relieved by this.

"Big brother, why don’t you stay a bit longer?" Xu Yu asked.

"No, there’s something I need to do. My master in the Immortal Realm is also about to cross the divine tribulation," Xu Nian said.

"Then take care, big brother," Xu Yu said, somewhat reluctantly.

Xu Nian patted Xu Yu on the shoulder.

"Ice Blue, I’ve lifted your soul contract, you are free now," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Master!" Ice Blue was both excited and a bit disappointed.

She knew her cultivation was too low to help Xu Nian in any way.

Xu Nian smiled.

After chatting a bit with everyone, he left with Luo Xue and the Female Demon God.

Of course, he was also accompanied by a group of demons from the Heavenly Dragon Divine Mountain.

As Xu Nian and the others teleported away.

Not far away, on a high mountain, stood two captivating figures.

These figures were none other than Luo Shang and Huo Tianqiu.

"You like Xu Nian, don’t you?" Huo Tianqiu looked at where Xu Nian disappeared and then at Luo Shang with a smile and asked.

"And don’t you also like him?" Luo Shang retorted.

Then both of them laughed.

"Actually, we both know that to him, we are just passersby in his life," Luo Shang said, suddenly somber.

"Yes, we like him, but he doesn’t like us," Huo Tianqiu said with a self-deprecating smile.

They both could tell.

Xu Nian didn’t have that kind of affection for them.

And precisely because of that, they did not choose to follow him.

Xu Nian was outstanding, so outstanding that they couldn’t see any other men in their eyes.

But so what, Xu Nian didn’t love them.

Any story was impossible to even begin.

Luo Shang and Huo Tianqiu fell silent, staring in a daze toward the square.

Even though they felt sad, there was a faint sense of anticipation in their hearts.

They hoped that should they meet Xu Nian again in the Divine World, there might be a different story to tell.

"Let’s go, to cultivate!" Luo Shang said with determination.

Huo Tianqiu nodded, and then the two of them teleported away.
