"What did you say, you have a way to pursue and kill Qin Yu, Hei Yu, and their three brothers?" The Peng Demon Emperor’s wine cup shook involuntarily, spilling several drops of wine on the table, but the Peng Demon Emperor seemed not to notice and continued to stare at Emperor Yu.

Emperor Yu nodded and smiled, "Yes, if my prediction is correct, we are very likely to capture all three brothers." Emperor Yu’s smile was brimming with confidence, which seemed to make the Peng Demon Emperor believe him even more, "Speak, quickly tell me."

Emperor Yu took a deep breath and slowly said, "Brother Zong Yan, the main reason we have been trying to kill the three brothers Qin Yu all these years is that we’ve been unable to find out exactly where the three of them are hiding. Although we’ve ordered our subordinates to report any sightings of three extremely powerful young men, it’s very possible... that Qin Yu and his brothers have never wandered around the Feiqin Clan’s territory together."

The Peng Demon Emperor listened quietly.

"To my knowledge, there are quite a few people following Qin Yu, such as Hei Yu’s wife Bai Ling! I wonder, if the three brothers Qin Yu are willing to stay in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion all the time, but what about Bai Ling? Would they bear it? If they were truly determined enough to hide away in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion all the time, indeed we would have no way to get to them. Now... if we assume that the three brothers are not in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion, then how did they escape Brother Zong Yan’s detection?" Emperor Yu said with a smile.

The Peng Demon Emperor nodded slowly, "Indeed, how did they manage to escape?"

"It’s simple. Those who carry out Your Majesty’s search orders are your subjects. And how do your subjects conduct the search? Of course, by sending orders to the rulers of some ordinary planets. But if... Qin Yu and his brothers became the rulers of one of those planets, no matter how hard we look, we would never find them. Because how can one search oneself?" Emperor Yu said with self-mocking laughter, "I’ve only just thought of this possibility."

"Indeed."

The Peng Demon Emperor’s eyes lit up, then he shook his head and frowned, "No, that’s not right. The powerful figures that have appeared in the Feiqin Clan over the years have all been recorded by my subordinates. If the Qin Yu brothers became rulers of a planet, at least their power would be at the Emperor Level. But in my records, there are no three individuals that fit this profile."

"Your Majesty, you are mistaken," Emperor Yu said, his thoughts flowing smoothly, "Have you forgotten that Qin Yu has the Ten Thousand Beasts List? He commands a large group of subordinates, probably surpassing a thousand Demon King level experts. Keep in mind, on some ordinary planets, the leaders are merely ordinary Demon Kings. What if he lets his subordinates control a planet while he remains hidden in the background? How would your men search then?"

Upon hearing this, the Peng Demon Emperor suddenly understood.

"Right, haha... I get it now," the Peng Demon Emperor laughed heartily, "Qin Yu arrived in the Feiqin Clan over three hundred years ago, and he has shown himself roughly every hundred years. So... I’ll have someone look into which new leaders have emerged in the Feiqin Clan over these past three hundred years."

"Brother Zong Yan is wise," Emperor Yu complimented.

"Haha..." The Peng Demon Emperor roared with laughter. His Demon Recognition then spread out in all directions, covering the entire Imperial Palace and directly targeted the Eighth Level Demon Emperor Liu Tu as he sent a telepathic message, "Liu Tu, come to me immediately."

In just the blink of an eye.

The Demon Emperor Liu Tu appeared, bowing respectfully, "May I know your command, Your Majesty?"

"Liu Tu, go and check, in these past three hundred years, how many planets have spawned new rulers! Find out and report back to me immediately, do not delay," the Peng Demon Emperor ordered sternly.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Liu Tu sensed the urgency in the Peng Demon Emperor’s tone and bowed before hastily leaving to carry out the task.

"Brother Feng Yu, let’s drink together and wait for the news," the Peng Demon Emperor was in very good spirits at the moment, having had no leads for a hundred years. Although Emperor Yu’s idea might not guarantee success, it held possibilities.

"Drink up."

Emperor Yu also raised his cup.

...

In just a short hour.

"Your Majesty, this is information on the new leaders of the Feiqin Clan’s planets from the past three hundred plus years," Liu Tu arrived in front of the Peng Demon Emperor and handed over the jade scroll, "Your Majesty, for a planet, most are controlled by families for tens of thousands, even millions of years or longer. Those that have changed leaders in just a few hundred years are rare among the entire Feiqin Clan, totaling only eight."

In the boundless realms of Immortals, Demons, and Beasts, having only eight within the Feiqin Clan territory was indeed not many.

Grasping the jade scroll, the Peng Demon Emperor swept over it with his Demon Recognition and then lightly smiled, "Among these eight, four are the most likely." As he said that, the Peng Demon Emperor passed the scroll to the nearby Emperor Yu, who without further words took it over and also began to search carefully with his Immortal Consciousness.

After a moment, Emperor Yu looked up with a slight smile at the Peng Demon Emperor, "Brother Zong Yan, among these eight, four changed leaders almost at the time when Qin Yu just escaped, two of the planetary leaders were replaced right after Qin Yu came to the Feiqin Clan, one was after the murder of Bai Feng when the Qin brothers left, and the last one was when the Green Emperor had just finished his Divine Tribulation, and Qin Yu returned, that planet changed its leader."

"Right, these four are the most likely, but we also can’t rule out the possibility of the other four," the Peng Demon Emperor nodded.

However, Emperor Yu and the Peng Demon Emperor both knew that these eight were only possibilities, and their conjecture might not hold true, because the Qin brothers could’ve been in the Qingyu Immortal Mansion all this time.

"Brother Feng Yu, did you need me?" Emperor Xuanxi suddenly appeared.

Emperor Yu nodded with a smile, "Yes, Brother Zong Yan and I have made a conjecture. If we’re not wrong, this time we might be able to find the three Qin brothers and kill them."

"Really?" Emperor Xuanxi also became excited.

The Peng Demon Emperor Zong Yan also nodded.

Emperor Yu’s expression then grew solemn, slowly saying, "This time, no matter what, we cannot alarm them prematurely, we must ensure... a kill with one strike, and if we find them, we absolutely cannot let them escape."

"Agreed," the Peng Demon Emperor nodded too, feeling deeply the pressure that those three brothers had brought upon him.

"Brother Zong Yan, that’s why I think that when we investigate these eight forces, the three of us should set out together, and once they’re found, we three will immediately take them down," a cold light flashed in Emperor Yu’s eyes.

The Peng Demon Emperor also nodded, "We shall personally visit and check each one. After all, there are only eight, let’s start with the most likely four."

"Hmm..." Emperor Yu nodded slightly.

******

In the expanse of a starry sky.

The Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Emperor Xuan, Ao Ku, and Liu Tu, five figures stood high above a planet. Emperor Yu’s Demon Recognition spread out. This planet was their first target; its leader had become the ruler of this planet when Qin Yu had just stepped into the Feiqin Clan.

"How does it look?" the Peng Demon Emperor looked at Emperor Yu.

Among the five, Emperor Yu had the highest Soul Realm, and having seen Bai Ling, Ye Qu, Ao Wuxu, and others during the Green Emperor’s Tribulation Crossing on Fengluan Star, he naturally recognized their auras as well.

"No, on this planet, there’s no trace of Qin Yu and his people, nor is there any sign of that Bai Ling," Emperor Yu shook his head.

Peng Demon Emperor frowned and then said, "Let’s go, move on to the next planet to search."

...

While Peng Demon Emperor and Emperor Yu, among their party of five, were diligently searching, the three brothers Qin Yu remained quietly cultivating in the Jiang Lan Realm. This time, they were not planning to leave the realm until they felt confident that they could stand against the Peng Demon Emperor.

In the backyard of Qingliu Garden at Wuliu Palace on Liulan Star,

Bai Ling and her daughter Hei Tong sat beside the flowers, watching Wu Lan and Guo Fan in the garden as one taught and the other learned. Wu Lan didn’t practice as desperately as Ye Qu or Ao Wuxu; instead, he led a quiet and comfortable life on Liulan Star.

He would sometimes play with Hei Tong, fish and drink tea by himself, or give guidance to Wu Lan.

"Uncle, am I doing this right?" Guo Fan threw his right fist forward once again, and as it moved, the air seemed to compress, creating a sensation of stagnation and pressure.

In fact, Guo Fan’s fist contained not a hint of energy; it was merely the force of his muscles.

There was no choice... while practicing in the backyard, if he used the Demon Essence Power within him, probably a single punch would turn the whole place into rubble, so he had to train like this. Fortunately, what he was currently learning was the art of the fist, so it didn’t matter if he didn’t use energy.

"Hehe... not bad at all," Wu Lan nodded contentedly and then looked towards the distant Hei Tong, "Little Tong, your husband is quite remarkable, indeed. His method of attack is similar to mine, which makes him well-suited to learn my cultivation technique. But that’s enough for today, we’ll continue tomorrow."

Hei Tong rushed to Wu Lan’s side and, clinging to his arm, she pleaded coquettishly, "Uncle Wu Lan, just teach for one more hour, please? You’ve only demonstrated it three times; how can brother Guo Fan learn so quickly? Uncle Wu Lan~~~"

"Ah, all right, fine," Wu Lan indulged her, nodding in agreement.

Then Wu Lan turned to Guo Fan: "Guo Fan, open your eyes wider and use your Demon Recognition to observe closely. Watch how I execute this punch. You have to understand the art of the fist yourself for it to truly be yours."

After speaking, Wu Lan looked calmly ahead.

His right fist clenched slightly, striking out in a motion that seemed slow yet was incredibly fast. As Wu Lan threw his punch, the surrounding space seemed to freeze in stillness, and his fist appeared to pierce through space itself.

"Buzz~~~"

A faint ripple of air emanated around him.

Thankfully, Wu Lan used no strength at all, relying only on his understanding of the art of the fist; to produce such an effect without power was impressive enough—had he used his inner strength, the destructive power would be unimaginable.

"Did you see clearly?" Wu Lan turned to Guo Fan. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Guo Fan furrowed his brow and shook his head, then stepped aside and started to punch slowly, continuously feeling out the new sensations. Wu Lan watched this scene with a smile and walked over to a table beside them, picking up a cup of tea to sip slowly.

And Wu Lan and the others had no idea that at this moment, the Peng Demon Emperor and his party had already arrived on Liulan Star.

The rise of Wuliu Palace had indeed been a matter of the last three hundred years, and it was suspected to be one of the eight forces in question. Now, hovering above the oceans of Liulan Star, Peng Demon Emperor, Emperor Yu, Emperor Xuan, Ao Ku, and Liu Tu stood suspended in midair.

"Brother Feng Yu, take a look," the Peng Demon Emperor said.

Emperor Yu nodded and once more dispersed his Immortal Consciousness, which as a Ninth Level Immortal Emperor’s consciousness, instantly covered the entire planet, naturally including Wuliu Palace, and therefore Bai Ling and her companions were discovered without fail.

"I’ve located the aura of Bai Ling," Emperor Yu excitedly told the Peng Demon Emperor.

"Really?" Excitement erupted on the Peng Demon Emperor’s face as well.

After searching eight planets, they had already braced themselves for failure. After all, the ability of the Qin Yu brothers to conceal themselves had given the Peng Demon Emperor and his associates more than their fair share of difficulty.

"What about Hei Yu and his brothers?" the Peng Demon Emperor pressed.

Emperor Yu furrowed his brow and shook his head, "No, I only see Bai Ling and another girl who seems very close to her. Also, there are two men, one of whom has the power of an Eighth Level Demon Emperor, while the other doesn’t even reach the level of a Demon King."

"An Eighth Level Demon Emperor? Who?" Peng Demon Emperor wondered. An Eighth Level Demon Emperor—weren’t they all famously renowned?

"I don’t recognize him." Emperor Yu shook his head, then said in confusion, "Even when we were watching the Green Emperor’s Tribulation Crossing on Fengluan Star, I did not spot this individual." Indeed, Wu Lan had not observed the Green Emperor crossing the Divine Tribulation because Wu Lan... couldn’t be bothered to watch.

Peng Demon Emperor knitted his brows, "Seems like he must be one of the Demon Emperors from the Third Layer of the Ten Thousand Beasts List."

"Yes," Emperor Yu nodded, "Although we didn’t find the Qin Yu brothers, we should capture Bai Ling and her group first. And I have a feeling that girl seems to have a close connection with Bai Ling. Oh, she’s her daughter."

Emperor Yu’s Immortal Consciousness had been covering Wuliu Palace all this time, and just before, Hei Tong was talking to Bai Ling and had called out ’Mom’.

"Her daughter, the daughter of Hei Yu and Bai Ling?" An unexplainable light flickered in the Peng Demon Emperor’s eyes.

"Good, let’s go immediately. It will be difficult to capture that Eighth Level Demon alive, so just kill him. As for the others... capture them all alive," the Peng Demon Emperor ordered decisively. "Move out."

In an instant, the five figures vanished from above the ocean, and when they reappeared, they were already above Wuliu Palace.

...

Wu Lan’s Soul Realm was not particularly high, being only of an Eighth Level Demon Emperor, but when Emperor Yu spread his Immortal Consciousness, Wu Lan instinctively had a bad feeling, although he couldn’t pinpoint the reason at the time.

With a sudden intuition, Wu Lan looked up sharply.

Above, five figures appeared out of nowhere—it was none other than the Peng Demon Emperor and his party. Seeing this group suddenly appear, Wu Lan’s complexion changed drastically and he immediately sent a telepathic message to Qin Yu: "Qin Yu, Emperor Yu and his men are here!"
