After searching for dragon veins for many years, the focus has always been on Black Mountain and the Imperial Mausoleum.

The imperial palace was also under suspicion, but the righteous spirit of successive emperors remained in the palace, which had a restraining effect on magic.

Therefore, only a few places have been explored in the palace so far.

This is all Tiandao's fault.

He turned the magic power into turbidity and the righteous energy into bright. Brightness overcame the turbidity and made it impossible for him to explore the palace in such a short time. Otherwise, he would have discovered the dragon vein long ago.

If it weren't for the famine that left Tianchen with starving people all over the land and the dangers everywhere, causing the dragon vein to loosen and make noises, he would not know when he would be able to destroy the dragon vein and return to the demon world.

"I can finally leave the human world, hehehe."

He was so happy that he laughed wildly.

The secret guards appeared one after another and surrounded him.

"Just you? Oh, you overestimate your abilities."

That being said, he was injured when he called upon the Dark Nether, and being outnumbered would only make his injuries worse, so it was wise to leave immediately.

Then white mist appeared all over the body.

The secret guard did not hesitate and sent out a strong wind, dispersing the white mist. However, Ji Dongli had already used teleportation to leave.

One of the secret guards quickly reported the matter to Eunuch Xi.

Breaking into the Golden Palace at night was a big deal, so Eunuch Xi did not dare to delay and woke up the sleeping emperor.

"Your Majesty, Ji Dongli broke into the Golden Palace at night."

"How dare you." The emperor slapped the dragon couch with such force that it made a loud bang.

"How can he come and go as he pleases in my throne room?"

Eunuch Xi, under the dragon's might, relayed what the secret guard had heard at that time.

"Your Highness, the secret guards heard what he said and he can finally leave the human world."

The emperor gestured for him to be helped up, and Eunuch Xi ran forward to support him.

After arriving at the center of the hall, the emperor shook off Eunuch Xi's hand and paced back and forth.

I don’t know how long it was before he stopped with a look of worry on his face.

"Eunuch Xi, please ask the Crown Prince, Shangguan Jiuyou, and the Imperial Master to come and see me."

Si Ye was sleeping so soundly that he did not wake up even when the secret guards carried him to the Yangxin Palace and laid him on the ground.

When he was about to call him back, Shangguan Jiuyou took action, lifted Si Ye, who was staggering and unable to stand, from his collar with one hand, and slammed him to the ground.

Si Ye felt pain and suddenly opened his eyes.

"What for? I promised to be your imperial teacher, but I didn't promise to work day and night for you like a slave."

To think that he, an immortal who had lived for tens of thousands of years, had gotten so badly in the human world that he couldn't even get a good night's sleep was simply enough to make the immortal die.

The emperor has always believed in yin and yang and gossip, and Si Ye was recommended by the retired emperor in a dream, so even if Si Ye said something extremely treasonous, it did not make him feel unhappy.

The prince stood by with his eyes downcast, feeling slightly angry. But he understood that since the emperor hadn't said anything, he naturally had no right to express his opinion.

Shangguan Jiuyou didn't care about that and said with a long tone, "Oh?"

Si Ye then noticed him and said with an embarrassed expression, "I am old and sleepy, so it is good for me to work like a cow or a horse. It is good."

The prince raised his head and glanced, doubts filling his mind.

Obviously he is afraid of Laojiu, why?

Si Ye appeared out of nowhere, and the people who investigated did not say that he had any connection with Lao Jiu.

Your Majesty...Old Nine, Old Nine, you really don’t take anyone seriously.

The sudden sense of balance in his heart seemed to open up his Ren and Du meridians, making him feel comfortable all over.

Pretend you don't know this and get straight to business.

"I summoned you here overnight because of the Holy Cult Master Ji Dongli."

"He broke into the Golden Palace at night, and after staying there for a while, he said that he could finally leave the human world."

"What?" Si Ye's voice suddenly rose several degrees. "It's over, it's over."

After saying this, the man began to spin around in circles.

The emperor stepped forward quickly and said, "Master, please explain clearly, what is over?"

"The passage between the human and demon worlds is about to open. The demons will invade, smoke will rise everywhere, and all lives will be destroyed. The human race is in danger."

Si Ye spoke so quickly that the emperor and the prince only heard a few words.

Only Shangguan Jiuyou heard everything.

He asked calmly, "How can we prevent this disaster?"

"Of course, we should prevent the passage between the human and demon worlds from opening. It would be best to kill Ji Dongli to prevent future troubles."

"Okay, leave the killing of Ji Dongli to me, and you are responsible for preventing the passage between the human and demon worlds from opening." After saying that, he strode out of the hall.

Si Ye chased after him while shouting, "Your Highness, the little magic power I have left is not worth mentioning at all. I am really powerless."

"That's your business."

Shangguan Jiuyou, who was already outside the palace, turned around and glanced at Si Ye, "I hope the Imperial Master will take care of himself." Then he stepped into the air and left.

"Shangguan Jiuyou." The confused emperor chased outside the palace and shouted, "You little bastard, explain your words to me clearly."

Shangguan Jiuyou slowed down a bit, and said with inner strength in his voice, "Father, please rest assured to be the master of Tianchen. I will let Ji Dongli be handled by this son."

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately quickened his pace and ran straight out of the palace.

"Come back to me."

The emperor was full of doubts and wanted to call Shangguan Jiuyou back to ask for clarification, but he called out several times but there was no response from Shangguan Jiuyou, and of course no sign of him.

"The traitor."

He angrily threw down two words and returned to the hall in rage.

Si Ye hurriedly chased Shangguan Jiuyou and successfully escaped the investigation.

The prince followed him into the Yangxin Palace. The emperor stared at him and asked after a moment, "Do you understand?"

The prince shook his head and then said, "But my ninth brother said he would handle it, so you can rest assured, father."

The emperor waved his hand and said, "Go back, I'm tired."

Shangguan Jiuyou rushed back home and walked into the study.

He has been taking a Haiyuan Pill every day recently. He has not eaten a single grain of rice, but he is full of energy and seems to have endless strength.

Summon Eleven, "Give orders to track down Ji Dongli's whereabouts and notify the king immediately if there is any news."

"I obey my orders."

As Eleven walked to the door, Shangguan Jiuyou stopped him and threw a bottle of Haiyuan Pill to him, "Take it, just in case."

Eleven quickly grabbed the bottle and put it back on the desk carefully.

"Master, there have been rats, birds, and snakes appearing in the mansion recently. They are always available for food, so we won't be hungry and there's no need to waste pills."

Shangguan Jiuyou, who was afraid of being poor, didn't say anything else. He waved his hand to send Eleven away, and then put the pill into his sleeve pocket.

He walked into the yard and looked up.

The night is dark and the cold moon hangs high in the sky, giving people a somewhat desolate feeling.

He naturally thought of the famine. The capital still had the food he had borrowed from the Wolf King, so he could cook some porridge for a few days, and the number of people starving to death would gradually come under control.

Other states and counties...

"Ugh……"

Shangguan Jiuyou let out a long sigh, and Eleven suddenly appeared.

"Master, a figure has flown up to the Spiritual Tower."

"Let's go. I want to see if it's him."
