Without a doubt, the traitor was among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone glanced at each other, and the Great Sage who Overturns the Seas stepped forward and said, \"Brother, calm down. What exactly happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Divine Exorcist Great Sage was too angry to speak and turned his head to sit aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, Demon Master spoke slowly, \"The Divine Exorcist Great Sage and I went to undo His Majesty’s seal and encountered the Heavenly Army on the way, even summoning Great Emperor Zhen Wu. His Majesty dispersed his incarnations to cover us.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, everyone’s faces showed surprise. For the sake of safety, only those present knew of the plan. A leak meant there was definitely a traitor among them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Great Sea Overturner’s face darkened. This group had been together since the destruction of the Demon Court, and the bonds formed over countless years were now marred by a traitor, an insult to them all, hardly surprising that Wind-sage Great Saint was so infuriated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I am the traitor, let me never reach greatness, let my soul fall below to the Nine Underworlds, never to ascend,\" swore Divine Exorcist Great Sage, standing up with fervent words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swearing to Heaven and Earth was a fearsome oath, as Heaven and Earth were not easily deceived—once spoken today, retribution would come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone looked at Divine Exorcist Great Sage with new respect; they never expected that someone who usually kept tight-lipped would strike right at the heart of the traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subsequently, they all made similar vows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching quietly as everyone made their pledges, Demon Master spoke softly, \"We’re all brothers here, why go to such lengths? It’s not necessarily someone among us who leaked the information to the Heavenly Court; perhaps it was simply that the movements of the Divine Exorcist and me were monitored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words somewhat eased the tense atmosphere in Cave Heaven, and everyone finally sat down gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"His Majesty’s incarnation has dissipated, what should we do now? Should we continue to undo the rest of His Majesty’s seals?\" asked Great Sea Overturner with some concern.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt they had underestimated the strength of the Heavenly Court; their recent actions revealed the formidable power of this huge entity, making the revival of Demon Court a long and arduous task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Demon Master smiled, \"Don’t worry, His Majesty’s incarnation’s dissipation is a blessing in disguise. After all, the body once damaged by the Jade Emperor can now be remolded through this opportunity.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others knew Demon Master always had meticulous plans, surely he had more than what was apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After everyone left, Wind-sage Great Sage approached Demon Master, his expression grave, \"If there is no traitor among us, then how did they know of our plan, summoning Great Emperor Zhen Wu is no small feat.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Demon Master smiled, \"Who said there was no traitor among us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Didn’t everyone make an oath to Heaven and Earth?\" asked Wind-sage Great Sage in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes, they made oaths, and naturally, we shouldn’t doubt them anymore. But, I know of a treasure called the Heaven-Deceiving Mirror in the Heavenly Court,\" said Demon Master with a cold laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Heaven-Deceiving Mirror?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As the name suggests, a mirror that can deceive Heaven and Earth. I suspect this Magical Treasure must be in the traitor’s possession, allowing him to make such vows without hesitation, gaining our trust,\" explained Demon Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing Demon Master’s words, Wind-sage Great Sage’s brow deeply furrowed, feeling a headache coming on just thinking of such a troublesome Treasure in the traitor’s hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How can we apprehend this traitor now?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let him be here, Their Highness’s revival process can’t be interrupted by them,\" the Demon Master said with a profound and inscrutable smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What about the rest of the seals on His Highness?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do what needs to be done.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice of the Demon Master echoed mysteriously within the Cave Heaven, his words brimming with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Deep in his heart, he was certain that the Demon Emperor would successfully return. His words also inspired the Wind-sage Great Saint, who left the Cave Heaven very excitedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t let me catch your tail,\" the Demon Master muttered to himself, seemingly addressing a deeply hidden traitor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang was naturally unaware of the upheavals in Luzhou in the North during this period and, guided by his instinct, he headed towards his next destination.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That place was once the capital of the Demon Court, known as the Demon Capital.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was once a bustling city, called the sparkling jewel of Luzhou in the North. But as the war between the Demon Court and the Heavenly Court began, the city too was engulfed in the flames of war.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years of continuous war turned the once prosperous city desolate, and as the bell of fate tolled, the city inevitably headed towards extinction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The most powerful city in Luzhou in the North, a symbol of the Demon Court’s power and wealth, thus exited the stage of history, completely erased from existence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time Lin Fang heard about the history of this city, he could feel the thickness of history settled by the years.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, as he was about to see this city, a feeling of walking through history suddenly arose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Fang, along with Feng Jiu, crossed mountains after mountains and beheld that once sparkling jewel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a vast city ruin, its collapsing and incomplete walls seemingly narrating its past splendor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the scale of the walls, the city was once extremely large. Housing millions of people would not have been a problem, a rare sight in that era. However, it was after all a city of the Demon Clan, definitely differing from those of the Human Clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Collapsed buildings piled up into small hills, now overgrown with wild grass, and lush vines climbed all over the city, adding a hint of green to the dilapidated city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From a distance, Lin Fang noticed quite a few silhouettes living within this broken city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, it was once the most flourishing city. Searching for valuable items in the ruins could change one’s destiny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, over countless years, the city attracted numerous scavengers who came here with the dream of seizing the opportunity to change their fate. Some succeeded, rising to prominence, while many others spent their youth here in vain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, these people settled down in these ruins and over time, a kind of atypical prosperity emerged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the news of the Demon Emperor’s revival spreading throughout Luzhou in the North, this place suddenly became highly coveted. Everyone was well aware of the status of the Demon Capital in the Demon Court.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Demon Court were to be reestablished, this city might very well welcome a new lease on life. Thus, some people came here early to settle down, hoping to transform into citizens of the Demon Capital one day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The scavengers living here watched in amazement as these newcomers suddenly arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>",1198,"2026-06-05T19:13:35.781Z",1,"novelbin.me","1c54d7c511b495594e58a9fbc9e97769d41a607699fc3c71d197c97cb0927740","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-215","this-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-chapter-213",578,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthis-journey-to-the-west-is-so-terrifying-cover.jpg"]
