Chapter 1756: Chapter 816: Journey to Find Father

Just before dawn, Ye Lingyue arrived at the Golden Horn Tribe.

As soon as she reached the tribe, she received a message from Little Zhiyo.

"Nian Wu Venerable ambushed you? Are you alright? I’ll rush back immediately."

Ye Lingyue was startled.

She had overlooked that old guy Nian Wu.

"Boss, we’re fine. You don’t need to come back, Nian Wu Venerable has been dealt with by us. Last night, many demon beasts gathered outside the Jiu Provinces Base Camp, and Alliance Hierarch Ning Que was overwhelmed by these demon beasts. Long Fang Venerate also learned about Nian Wu Venerable’s affair and has secretly sent people to protect us." Little Zhiyo stammered.

Aunt Yun had warned not to tell the boss about her arrival.

Ye Lingyue felt somewhat relieved after hearing this.

She advised Little Zhiyo and Little Wuya to discuss everything with Long Baobao, since once they entered the Demon World, she feared they wouldn’t be able to communicate normally.

Within the Golden Horn Tribe, Little Jiunian and Chi Chi were still waiting for Ye Lingyue’s arrival.

"Little Jiunian, do you think your godmother can really help Beiyu Palace out of trouble?"

Chi Chi was still not very trusting of Ye Lingyue, given that she’s from the Human Clan.

From a young age, she was educated by her older brother and those palace maids and guards that humans are cruel and greedy, always wanting to steal the demon cores and wealth of the Demon Clan.

"If my godmother says she can do it, then she certainly will. Don’t worry; she promised she’d come today to pick us up."

Little Jiunian held great confidence in Ye Lingyue.

To him, his godmother was omnipotent.

"Little Jiunian is so sweet; just for your words, godmother will surely rescue Empress Dowager Chi."

As they spoke, laughter and footsteps sounded from behind.

Little Jiunian and Chi Chi were delighted, turning to see a beautiful woman and an elderly man approaching.

The woman’s eyes were like black gemstones, her fragrance and jade-like skin captivating with every smile and frown.

Chi Chi stared, eyes unblinking, and was speechless upon hearing the voice.

"Godmother?"

Little Jiunian almost couldn’t recognize Ye Lingyue; she seemed so different from before.

"Of course, it’s me. Little Jiunian, you must remember, never judge by appearances, especially when it comes to women."

Ye Lingyue hadn’t forgotten Chi Chi’s disdainful attitude from last time; she couldn’t help but mind.

Since they left the Jiu Provinces Base Camp, it was unlikely to bump into any acquaintances for a while, so Ye Lingyue decided to revert to her true appearance.

Little Jiunian seemed partly understanding and nodded.

"Little Jiunian, do you think your godmother is prettier, or am I prettier?"

Earlier, Little Jiunian thought Ye Lingyue unattractive, but now his feelings were unsettled, and he pouted, tugging at Little Jiunian.

Little Jiunian pondered and replied earnestly.

"Chi Chi, you’re not grown up yet. When you grow up, you’ll surely be prettier than godmother (so now godmother is prettier than you)."

Ye Lingyue listened and glanced at her godson.

Oh, this little rascal, already so good at flattering girls, his sweet talk and persuasive skills mostly resemble those of Brother Yan Jiu.

"Godmother, weren’t you going to rescue Empress Dowager Chi? How come there’s only..."

Little Jiunian looked behind Ye Lingyue, finding only Hunyuan Ancestor there.

"We’re stealthily infiltrating the Demon World this time; it’s not wise to bring too many people. Once in the Demon World, I have my strategies."

Ye Lingyue and Di Shen had analyzed that the Demon World is currently unstable, and everything needs to be done secretly.

So Ye Lingyue refused Golden Horn Demon King’s plea to take soldiers into the Demon World.

The Demon Clan and Human Clan maintained peace on the surface for many years, due to the Alliance Contract by Marquis Zhongyuan, she did not want to be the one breaking that contract.

Little Jiunian and Chi Chi were somewhat doubtful but ultimately believed Ye Lingyue’s words.

The four of them left the Tongtian Tribe, heading towards the Demon World entrance.

The Demon World entrance had no demon soldiers or generals guarding it, probably cleared earlier by Jiu Provinces Alliance’s representative teams, which made it convenient for Ye Lingyue and her group.

After smoothly traversing the Demon World’s prohibition, Ye Lingyue found a secluded spot and opened the magical map Chi Chi had previously brought.

Chi Chi’s map depicted mostly the terrain of Beiyu Palace, clearly marking three routes to Beiyu Palace.

"From the map, there are three routes: A, B, and C. Route A is the shortest but crosses all the main roads, likely occupied by South Nether Emperor Zhanhen’s troops now. Route B is moderately distanced, relatively hidden, also the route you used during your escape, and seems safest. As for Route C, it lies at the boundary of South Nether and Beiyu Palace, the longest route and not the best option."

Ye Lingyue analyzed each, finally deciding to stealthily return via Route B to enter Beiyu Palace.

Seeing Ye Lingyue’s thorough analysis, Chi Chi listened in awe, glancing at Ye Lingyue and thinking how Godmother seemed similar to her own mother.

Little Jiunian remained silent after hearing.

Ye Lingyue noticed Little Jiunian’s reaction, knowing he had concerns.

"Little Jiunian, do you have any objections? If you do, please speak up."

"Godmother, your analysis is very thorough. Among these routes, indeed, Route B is the safest. But I somewhat want to take Route C. I know, it’s very long and could cause delays, but..."

Little Jiunian’s voice grew softer.

"Little Jiunian, are you worried about the Land God?"

Chi Chi bluntly pointed out Little Jiunian’s concerns.

Little Jiunian nodded slightly.

"Beiyu Palace is in chaos now, that area is the edge of the conflict between the two armies. The Land God cannot leave there, and it’s uncertain what happened."

Ye Lingyue was puzzled as she listened.

It seemed Little Jiunian had quite some adventures in the Demon World during such a short time.

The Land God should be divine, why appear in the Demon World?

Little Jiunian then recounted his previous encounter with the Land God to Ye Lingyue.

"A talking monument, master, it must be some spirit creature. With our journey perilous, it’s really not wise to provoke the evil spirits along the way."

Hunyuan Ancestor shook his head.

Being a Divine Realm figure, upon entering the Demon World, he felt its situation was unusual.

The direction of the Evil Qi seemed peculiar; surely something happened deep within the Demon World.

Hunyuan Ancestor believed someone like his master from the Human Clan should leave the Demon World promptly.

Ye Lingyue hesitated, looking at Little Jiunian’s hopeful appearance.

"Let’s take the risk and meet the Land God. Just for saving Little Jiunian’s life, I have to properly thank him as a godmother."

Little Jiunian finally broke into a smile.

He would soon see the Land God again.
