Chapter 557

"We've just happened to learn of her whereabouts, so we dare to ask the Third Dragon Head and Mr. Dugu to come along."

The disciple of the Second Moon Hall of the Qinglong Society said slowly.

"Oh? Good!"

Dugu Qiubai heard this and agreed at once.

The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen is utterly mysterious; it wouldn't be bad to meet her.

Besides, Dugu Jian was already troubled over the matter of Dugu Yifang, so meeting the master of Six Demon Crossing would be just the thing.

Seeing Dugu Qiubai agree, that Qinglong Society Second Moon Hall disciple immediately vanished once more.

"The First Qiusheng! Could this man be his son?"

With Dugu Yifang's trail gone, and knowing they were going to meet the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, Dugu Jian's mood lightened a little.

Suddenly thinking of the two corpses before him, he couldn't help letting his thoughts stir and muttered a line.

"Who? You know him?"

Dugu Qiubai heard it and, unable to help his curiosity, asked.

"Don't know him! Just heard of his name."

Dugu Jian shook his head and said slowly,

"The Third Pig Emperor, ranked thirty-seventh on the Heavenly Dao Gold List—you should still remember, right?"

"I remember!"

"Although this man only has the cultivation of a Heavenly Being peak, his actual combat strength is stronger than an ordinary early-stage Supreme Mythical Realm cultivator."

"The key point is, he has two sworn brothers."

"The Second Sword Emperor, and the First Evil Emperor!"

"The Second Sword Emperor we'll set aside for now."

"This First Evil Emperor was once the number one blade-path expert in the entire Yunzhou Wu Lin!"

"Every blade cultivator under heaven took him as his goal!"

"There are even rumors that the Orthodox-Evil Dao, one of the Twelve Terrifying Ones, is connected to him!"

Listening to Dugu Jian's words, Dugu Qiubai actually found himself faintly curious about this First Evil Emperor.

When Yunzhou had just been reclaimed, Qishixi Sect's Ximen Wudi had already sent people to try to recruit the First Evil Emperor.

It's just that the First Evil Emperor lives in seclusion within the Orthodox-Evil Dao, inside the Shengsi Sect!

And the Orthodox-Evil Dao is one of the Twelve Terrifying Ones!

Throughout the entire Yunzhou Wu Lin, not many even know of the Twelve Terrifying Ones.

Let alone the Orthodox-Evil Dao!

"If this First Qiusheng really is the First Evil Emperor's son, then this matter…"

Dugu Qiubai's heart stirred—since he couldn't find the First Evil Emperor, why not use this piece of news to make the man show himself?

"Eh? Right! Second Dream!"

Dugu Jian came to his senses instead,

"Brother! Think about it—Second Dream, such an odd name. Could she be a descendant of the Second Sword Emperor?"

"If so, whether this First Qiusheng is really the First Evil Emperor's son, she'd know best."

"Exactly!"

Dugu Qiubai's eyes lit up; with a single move of his body, he was already beside Second Dream and Ming Yue within the city.

Seeing the two whispering, he interrupted them directly, explained his purpose, and then brought the two of them over to this side.

"Ah! First Qiusheng is actually dead… he really was Evil Emperor Uncle's son…"

Seeing First Qiusheng's corpse, Second Dream's expression was somewhat sorrowful.

Evil Emperor, Sword Emperor, and Pig Emperor were once sworn brothers.

Evil Emperor fathered First Qiusheng, Sword Emperor fathered Second Dream, and Pig Emperor had no descendants.

Therefore First Qiusheng had always been like an elder brother to Second Dream, taking very good care of her.

This time First Qiusheng had also heard that Wushuang City was celebrating a great occasion, so he dragged Second Dream along to join the fun.

He never imagined that joining in this excitement would cost First Qiusheng his life.

"If that's the case! Do you know where the First Evil Emperor lives in seclusion?"

Dugu Qiubai heard Second Dream's confirmation and immediately followed up with a question.

"The Orthodox-Evil Dao, the Shengsi Sect! I've been there before."

Second Dream nodded and went on,

"But it's not a nice place; there's a kind of evil aura about it."

"Uncle Pig Emperor said that place is filled with evil aura."

"Anyone whose cultivation isn't solid enough, once they enter the Orthodox-Evil Dao, will lose their reason and fall into the demonic path!"

"Brother Dugu, after we meet the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen, would you be willing to go with me to the Orthodox-Evil Dao?"

Dugu Qiubai listened and actually felt a touch of curiosity.

Such an evil place was the most suitable for exploration.

Dugu Jian had long admired the First Evil Emperor by reputation, and now this First Qiusheng had very likely been killed by Dugu Yifang.

Both in sentiment and in reason, he wanted to meet the First Evil Emperor.

"Good!"

Afterwards the group casually buried the Human-Face Envoy, then cremated First Qiusheng, before preparing to find Nie Feng and leave Wushuang City.

But when the group found Nie Feng, they discovered him staring blankly.

"What's wrong?"

"Senior Brother Shuang is gone…"

Nie Feng said woodenly.

It turned out he had just come back to look for Qin Shuang's corpse, yet nowhere could it be found.

He asked the nearby residents, and they all said they hadn't seen it.

A corpse had vanished into thin air just like that.

"Perhaps he isn't dead!"

Dugu Qiubai's heart stirred,

"Alright! The most urgent thing now is to come with us and meet the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen."

"After that, we'll go with you to meet the First Evil Emperor."

Although it wasn't Nie Feng who killed Di Yi Qiusheng, in the end it was because Nie Feng had gone into demonhood and wounded him.

So when meeting the First Evil Emperor, it was best to bring Nie Feng along.

With no choice, Nie Feng could only follow Dugu Qiubai and the others away.

Perhaps Qin Shuang really wasn't dead!
