"How is it?"

Fu Manman lay her head on Gu Lan’s lap, sighing,

"What’s the deal with that Lv Liang guy? Is he really hiding that deeply? Senior Sister Gu and I, both possessing two Supreme Daos, have been conducting high-intensity patrols, practically turning the seven continents of Celestial South upside down, yet we haven’t even seen a trace of him. Logically, my Eternal Dao and Senior Sister’s Evolutionary Dao, when combined, should be the most suitable for investigation and tracking!"

Gu Lan smoothed Fu Manman’s hair, "Could it be that he’s not in the Southern Celestial Land at all?"

Fu Manman shook her head, "Impossible. Since the Path of the Demon Lord began in Taiping Continent, it’s definitely not possible to leave here. Furthermore, Southern Celestial Land is inherently a place where demon cultivators thrive, providing fertile ground for their growth; it’s most suitable here. All the Demon Lords except for the Slaughter Demon Lord, who began the path in Immortal Continent, have emerged from the Southern Celestial Land."

Fan Wubing asked unhurriedly, "By the way, you do know what the Nether Demon Dao is, right."

Fu Manman turned over, lying sideways, and looked at him:

"The path of darkness that never sees daylight, is a form of Demon Dao that exists beneath common sense and can break common sense."

"That’s just the broadest explanation," Fan Wubing said, "The key is to understand what the Nether Demon Dao relies on for existence and how it is activated. Searching for something requires not only knowing what it is but also how it may appear and what reactions it might provoke."

After pondering for a moment, Fu Manman suddenly stood up and saluted Fan Wubing,

"I ask for the assistance of Wu Wangxinger."

Fan Wubing was taken aback, "What’s this? Weren’t you planning to rely solely on yourself?"

Fu Manman pouted, "I overestimated my capabilities, thinking I could handle it myself. But it’s been almost a year with no results. Being stubborn solves nothing, as Guan Xin said; we need to be realistic." She lowered her head, ready for Fan Wubing’s mockery and teasing.

Fan Wubing thought for a moment. He understood Fu Manman; she was strong-willed, especially in front of him, even more so. She had said she would solve this on her own, but in reality, "by herself" just meant without Fan Wubing’s help. After all, she had actively invited Gu Lan to assist her.

"Why are you suddenly giving in?"

Fu Manman said helplessly,

"Admitting my shortcomings doesn’t hurt me. But if my stubbornness complicates a simple matter, I’m not fit to be a Mortal World Executor Dao and Little Freedom Official."

Fan Wubing shook his head, "You don’t have to be so hard on yourself. This matter was extremely complicated from the start. Not to mention you, just a newly appointed Little Freedom Official, even if the other three Little Freedom Officials joined, they might still not figure it out."

"Have you researched it?"

Fan Wubing smiled, "I knew you couldn’t manage it, so from the start, I didn’t just sit idle; I’ve been researching this thing. So, leave it to your elder brother."

"What elder brother? Are you siblings?" Gu Lan inadvertently revealed her naivety.

Fu Manman puffed her cheeks, her face slightly red, "It’s all old news, not worth mentioning."

Fan Wubing directly said, "She used to be very clingy and said she wanted to be my sister for a lifetime. But later, she didn’t acknowledge it anymore."

"Oh, I see," Gu Lan looked at Fu Manman, blinking, "How adorable."

Fu Manman covered her face, "Don’t reveal my dark history!" She quickly changed the subject, "Let’s get back to business. What are your research results?"

Fan Wubing said, "If Lv Liang has mastered the Nether Demon Dao, then it’s unfortunate, because unless he reveals himself, it’s nearly impossible to find him. Everyone has unknown aspects to them, secrets hidden within. This is the so-called dark side. The dark side follows like a shadow, inseparable. The Nether Demon Dao exists based on the dark side of things."

His brow slightly furrowed, "In the face of the Nether Demon Dao, there are no secrets. Because secrets themselves are a part of the dark side. The Nether Demon Dao not only exists within the dark side but can also manipulate it to occupy the entire being, exposing it completely."

"That sounds complicated. The dark side, is it even real? I think it’s just a conceptual description."

"Things are interconnected and ever-changing. You can consider the Nether Demon Dao as a form of disruption to this interconnection and change. Those who master the Nether Demon Dao can easily sense and disrupt others’ changes. So, using ordinary methods, it’s impossible to find Lv Liang."

"You can’t find him using ordinary methods, so do you have a special way?" Fu Manman asked.

Fan Wubing laughed, "I thought of a way, but it requires cooperation from both of you. However, I can’t guarantee it will work."

Fu Manman looked excited, got up and pulled Fan Wubing up, "Then let’s do it quickly!"

"You just got back. Aren’t you going to rest?"

"Time is of the essence!"

"Alright then."

Fan Wubing shrugged and activated the "Great Death Fire Life Extension Method," and the Supreme Dharma Orbiting Device he had placed in the Purple Mansion began to spin.

After a while,

he sensed the fate traces related to Lv Liang.

He then raised his hand to gather two streams of energy, swiftly moving with Fu Manman and Gu Lan.

"So fast!" Gu Lan, feeling Fan Wubing’s speed for the first time, found it a bit overwhelming. Fu Manman enveloped her with the Eternal Dao, preventing her from getting hurt from the high-speed travel.
