201. Chapter 198: Discovered, Pan Huang Meets Laozi

Although they were not afraid of Luo Hou, they had not come here to fight him. Therefore, acting on the principle that it is better to avoid trouble than to invite it, they chose to sneak in, intending to leave the Demon Realm immediately after obtaining what they wanted.

Of course, if they were discovered, they would not mind stirring up some trouble in the Demon Realm; with the strength of the three of them, no one in this Demon Realm should be able to stop them.

"What shall we do now?" Hongjun asked, looking at Pan Huang and Yang Mei.

"I say, Fellow Daoist Hongjun, you are the first Saint of the Primordial World. Can't you have some initiative, or perhaps just state your opinion so we can agree with you?" Pan Huang finally could not hold back and complained to Hongjun.

"Uh, actually, I really don't understand much. When I fought Luo Hou back then, it was because I didn't want to watch him harm the Primordial World. Later, taking on disciples and merging with the Heavenly Dao were all done under the calculations of the Heavenly Dao. That was never my original intention; my intention was to cultivate and explore the Primordial World. After I merged with the Heavenly Dao and was trapped in the Zixiao Palace for these several Yuan Epochs, I basically forgot how to do everything," Hongjun chuckled and then explained to Pan Huang.

"Alright then!" Hearing Hongjun's explanation, Pan Huang and Yang Mei nodded.

They had not expected that the Hongjun Dao Ancestor, whom everyone in the Primordial World worshipped and revered, would be like this. If other Saints saw Hongjun like this, they would likely lose all sense of awe toward him in the future.

"Where do you think the world origin of this Demon Realm might be?" Pan Huang asked Yang Mei and Hongjun, looking at the Heavenly Demon Mountain that towered into the clouds before them.

"If nothing goes wrong, it should be within this Heavenly Demon Mountain. Perhaps the world origin of the Demon Realm is in the Heavenly Demon Palace; after all, for Luo Hou, the Heavenly Demon Palace should be the safest place in the entire Demon Realm," Yang Mei said.

"I am a bit curious, where is the world origin of the Primordial World?" Pan Huang suddenly asked at this moment.

"Fellow Daoist Pan Huang, what are you trying to do?" Hongjun became nervous immediately upon hearing Pan Huang's words.

"Hahaha, I was just asking, just asking!" Pan Huang said with a smile when he saw Hongjun's reaction.

"Let's go, let's go take a look at this Heavenly Demon Mountain. I think as long as we are careful, we shouldn't be exposed," Yang Mei said hurriedly.

He did not want Pan Huang to continue communicating with the Primordial World, otherwise, the Primordial World would truly be in danger.

After entering the Heavenly Demon Mountain, the communication between Pan Huang and the others shifted to divine sense, otherwise, they would easily be discovered.

In the Heavenly Demon Palace, the feeling of unease in Luo Hou's heart grew stronger and stronger. This feeling was as if danger had already reached his side, yet Luo Hou could not find any danger around him.

"Come here!" Luo Hou shouted.

Soon, several demon soldiers appeared before Luo Hou.

"Seal the entire Heavenly Demon Mountain, then search it inch by inch. Once you find any suspicious areas, report back immediately," Luo Hou stood up, looked at the demon soldiers before him, and said coldly.

"Yes, Demon Ancestor!" Although these demon soldiers were somewhat puzzled, they did not refute Luo Hou and executed his order without fail.

Pan Huang and the other two, who had just ascended the Heavenly Demon Mountain, soon discovered the abnormality. The Heavenly Demon Mountain had actually been sealed, and then countless heavenly demons began searching the mountain inch by inch.

"What is going on? Have we been discovered?" Hongjun asked.

"It doesn't look like it; they seem more like they are searching for something," Yang Mei shook his head.

"Is it possible they are searching for us?" Pan Huang asked.

"Why would you have such a thought, Fellow Daoist?" Yang Mei did not quite understand Pan Huang.

"Those with the strength of the Celestial Immortal realm have a vague intuition about danger to their location, let alone the Saint realm. This Luo Hou is the only Saint in the Demon Realm and is also the creator of the Demon Realm. After we entered the Demon Realm, Luo Hou should not have been able to detect our arrival, but he should be able to sense the descent of danger," Pan Huang said to the two.

"No wonder. Then what should we do now?" Hongjun asked.

"Uh..." Pan Huang looked at Yang Mei and Hongjun, and deep down, he began to feel a bit of regret.

Did these two have absolutely no experience? Or were they pretending? That shouldn't be; they were both people who had cultivated for several Yuan Epochs, they shouldn't be like this, right?

"The most dangerous place is the safest place," Pan Huang said to them.

"Good!" The two nodded.

"Sigh! I need to re-evaluate these two people. Their strength is indeed beyond question, but in other aspects, they seem somewhat lacking!" Pan Huang said to himself in his heart.

A few breaths later, they avoided the searching demon soldiers and entered the Heavenly Demon Palace. Upon entering, the three of them used the Turtle Breath Technique to suppress all their aura within their bodies, even suppressing their life fluctuations. Now, if they did not actively expose themselves, even a Saint would not be able to find their tracks.

"What should we do now?" After entering the Heavenly Demon Palace, Yang Mei asked.

"The next part depends on Fellow Daoist Hongjun. After all, none of us are familiar with the aura of a world origin. Fellow Daoist Hongjun once merged with the Heavenly Dao, so you should understand the aura of a world origin, right? The Demon Realm is an auxiliary world of the Primordial World, so the world origin should have similarities. Fellow Daoist, you should be able to sense it, right?" Pan Huang asked Hongjun.

"I can! Leave this to me," Hongjun replied.

Among the three of them, he was indeed the only one who had come into contact with a world origin, so there was no problem with him doing the work of finding it.

After Hongjun finished speaking, he began to perceive the surroundings in the Heavenly Demon Palace. Just as Hongjun was sensing the world origin of the Demon Realm, Luo Hou stood up directly from his throne, and a Saint's pressure permeated the entire Heavenly Demon Palace.

However, his pressure had no effect on Pan Huang and the others, and Luo Hou's Saint pressure did not disturb Hongjun either. They just watched Hongjun and Luo Hou quietly like this.

"Who is it! Get out here! I have already discovered you. What kind of hero hides sneakily?" After Luo Hou released his Saint pressure and found no issues, he shouted directly.

Seeing Luo Hou like this, Pan Huang and Yang Mei rolled their eyes at him. At a time like this, anyone with a functioning brain would not come out.

After Luo Hou said this, he spread his divine sense across the entire Heavenly Demon Palace. As long as there was the slightest anomaly in the palace, he would be able to detect it immediately. But after waiting for nearly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he still did not find any anomalies.

But Luo Hou did not think he was overthinking it. He firmly believed that someone had come to the Demon Realm and had even entered his Heavenly Demon Palace, only that the other party's concealment methods were extremely powerful, and he could not detect them for the time being.

"Found it!" Soon, Hongjun transmitted his voice to Pan Huang and Yang Mei.

"Where?" Yang Mei asked hurriedly.

"It is right in the throne behind Luo Hou. The aura of the world origin is emanating from the throne," Hongjun said.

"It seems we will eventually have to confront Luo Hou. Sigh! What a hassle. I hate trouble the most," Pan Huang said helplessly.

"Since we have already decided to explore the worlds in Chaos, we shouldn't be afraid of trouble, because there will be plenty of troublesome things in the future," Yang Mei smiled.

"Shall we strike now? Or should we wait a while?" Hongjun asked.

"Wait a bit longer. Luo Hou's vigilance is very high right now; striking now is not a wise choice," Yang Mei said hurriedly.

"Good, then we will wait a bit longer. Once Luo Hou relaxes his vigilance slightly, we will strike," Pan Huang nodded. In fact, he did not approve of exposing themselves now either; if they exposed themselves now, there would only be more trouble.

If they waited until Luo Hou relaxed his vigilance to strike, they should be able to save themselves a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Because they had to wait for Luo Hou to relax his vigilance, the three of them stayed in a dark corner of the Heavenly Demon Palace. According to their guess, after Luo Hou searched to no avail, he would likely withdraw the demon soldiers and also relax his vigilance; that would be the moment for them to strike.

However, in all their calculations, they missed one person, and that person was Laozi.

While Pan Huang and the others were bored in the corner, Laozi arrived at the Heavenly Demon Palace. At this time, Laozi had clearly returned to his peak, and the aura on his body was clearly that of a Saint.

"Greetings, Demon Ancestor!" Upon seeing Luo Hou, Laozi smiled and cupped his hands.

His attitude at this moment was completely different from the first time he met Luo Hou. When he first met Luo Hou, Laozi bowed deeply, and although there was unwillingness on his face, there was more respect at the time.

But now, although there was a respectful look on Laozi's face, it was not much, because his current strength was also that of a Saint, and he now had the right to talk to Luo Hou as an equal.

"Protector, thieves have entered the Demon Realm! Do you have any way to detect them?" Luo Hou had no intention of appreciating Laozi's cultivation at this moment, nor did he care whether Laozi was respectful to him or not.

"What makes you say that?" Laozi's brows immediately furrowed.

Hearing Laozi's words, Luo Hou immediately told Laozi about his feelings. Upon hearing this, Laozi's brows furrowed even deeper, because he knew that at their level of cultivation, it was impossible for them to be wrong.

This meant that someone had truly entered the Demon Realm. As soon as he thought of someone entering the Demon Realm, Laozi's first thought was of people from the Primordial World, because he only knew the Primordial World, and at the same time, Pan Huang's figure appeared in his mind.

As soon as he thought of Pan Huang, the killing intent on Laozi's body leaked out involuntarily.

"Demon Ancestor, rest assured, I will drag them out," Laozi said to Luo Hou, and then began to perceive the surroundings.

Because Luo Hou had just said that his feeling of palpitation was very strong, it meant that the people who had snuck into the Demon Realm were nearby; otherwise, Luo Hou's reaction would not have been so intense.

After searching for a while, Laozi also did not find any anomalies, but then a smile appeared on his face.

If Luo Hou had not found them, how could he? But Laozi had another method. As long as he used this method, he would definitely be able to drag the people in the dark out.

"Protector, have you found them?" Seeing the smile on the corner of Laozi's mouth, Luo Hou asked hurriedly.

"Demon Ancestor, ordinary people simply cannot find them. In fact, one could say that no one in the entire Demon Realm can find them, except for me."

"Why?" Luo Hou was somewhat unhappy, and his face darkened significantly.

"Because their strength is similar to ours, or perhaps even a bit stronger. There is another point: their concealment techniques are very powerful, but there is one thing they cannot hide, and I can use exactly this point to lure them out," Laozi said with a smile.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Luo Hou to say anything, a strange energy fluctuation radiated from his body. This fluctuation had no offensive power; it was even somewhat gentle. Upon sensing this energy, Luo Hou's brows furrowed.

He did not know what this energy was; at least he had never seen such energy before. He also could not understand why such energy could detect enemies in the dark.

When the energy fluctuation from Laozi's body radiated out, except for Yang Mei, the expressions of Pan Huang and Hongjun changed immediately, because what was on Laozi's body was nothing else but the mark of the Primordial World.

As long as one was a creature of the Primordial World, one would have a mark belonging to the Primordial World on their body, and this was something that could not be hidden no matter what. He had not expected Laozi to use such a method to detect them.

"Fellow Daoist, in a moment we will help you attract Luo Hou and Laozi, and you take the opportunity to check the world origin," Pan Huang said to Yang Mei.

"Good!" Yang Mei nodded.

Just as they finished their voice transmission, that energy fluctuation reached them. The same fluctuation immediately appeared on Hongjun and Pan Huang's bodies. Seeing this, a sneer appeared on Laozi's face.

"Fellow Daoists, will you come out yourselves, or shall I invite you out?" Laozi looked at the dark corner and said with a smile in his eyes, but his tone was extremely cold.

Hearing Laozi's words, Luo Hou immediately erupted with Saint pressure and then sealed the Heavenly Demon Palace directly, just to prevent the rats in the dark from escaping.

"Yo! Laozi, you've made quite some progress, haven't you? You actually managed to sneak into the Demon Realm. Congratulations on returning to the Saint position!" After Laozi's voice fell, a teasing voice appeared in the Heavenly Demon Palace.

The next second, the figures of Hongjun and Pan Huang appeared before Laozi.

Upon seeing these two, Laozi's breathing paused for a moment. The next second, substantive killing intent erupted from Laozi's body.

"Pan Huang! I want you to die!" Upon seeing Pan Huang, Laozi's eyes turned red, his body was surrounded by killing intent, and he roared and charged directly at Pan Huang.

"Do you really think that just because you have returned to the Saint realm, you are my match?" Pan Huang said with a smile.

The next second, Laozi flew backward, slammed heavily into a pillar, and then spat out a large mouthful of black-red blood. His eyes were filled with disbelief and fear.

"You thought that after you entered the demonic path, you would be my match? Naive, truly too naive. Laozi, do you know that from the moment we first met under the innate gourd vine on Mount Buzhou, you never had a chance to turn things around? As long as you are alive, and as long as I am alive, you will never be able to make any waves," Pan Huang said with disdain.

"I don't believe it, I don't believe it! Die, die for me!" Laozi was driven to a breaking point by Pan Huang's words. He roared and charged at Pan Huang again.

The result was the same as before; Pan Huang sent Laozi flying with a casual strike. Pan Huang did not use much force each time, so Laozi basically only suffered minor injuries.

Just as Laozi and Pan Huang were fighting, Luo Hou and Hongjun also clashed. (End of chapter)
