Ye Zhen, hidden within a carriage shaft, successfully passed through multiple Demon Race checkpoints and a teleportation formation. Upon arriving in the Zhengyao Realm, just as he and the convoy began to relax, a sudden anomaly caused the carriage shaft to explode.

The gray ripples, containing a mystical spatial power, directly shattered the cart shaft where the Mirage Dragon Pearl, disguised as dust, was hiding.

Even worse, at the moment when the speck of dust, into which the Mirage Dragon Pearl had transformed, was blasted out, the gray ripples acted like the most mystical dyeing tray in the world, instantly marking the speck with a glaring red hue.

Not only Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl, but also points of red light appeared on the bodies of the shopkeeper from Chengfeng Trading Firm and the two accompanying Dao Realm protectors at the moment the gray ripples spread.

These were the self-contained Mustard Seed Spaces or Mustard Seed Worlds hidden within them, used to carry those forbidden goods and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

But now, everything was exposed.

The shopkeeper of Chengfeng Trading Firm and each tributor of the Dao Realm revealed shocked expressions, as this incident could turn either trivial or monumental.

Once the Demon Tribe takes it seriously, it will become troublesome.

Especially with this unexpected situation...

But before they could react, with a flash of green light, the figure of Qingqiu Fox Clan’s Clan Leader Tu Zheng appeared out of thin air in the sky.

"Ye Jiuxiao, I have been waiting for you here for a long time!"

With a hearty laugh, a giant hand reached out from behind Tu Zheng’s head, swiftly grabbing towards the Mirage Dragon Pearl marked by the glaring red light of the gray ripples.

From the moment the Mirage Dragon Pearl was blasted out of the cart shaft by the gray ripples, Ye Zhen knew something was wrong!

No wonder things went so smoothly before; it turned out that this old fox Tu Zheng was waiting here for him.

Ye Zhen quickly understood.

The Taimeng Demon Realm is too vast, even for a strong Dao Realm Peak expert like Tu Zheng; it’s too difficult to trace one person’s movements, even with the Demon Emperor’s order.

But there was only one way out of Taimeng Demon Realm.

And comparatively, the Two-World City guarded by the demon tribes of the Zhengyao Realm is much smaller and more convenient.

In the end, it was still Ye Zhen’s carelessness.

He underestimated this old fox Tu Zheng.

Come to think of it, to elevate the Red Tiger King’s line from the bottom rank within the Tiger Clan to the second place, becoming a legendary strategist famous throughout the Tiger Clan and the entire Taimeng Demon Realm, he is not someone easy to deal with.

However, being calculated by such a person, Ye Zhen is not wronged.

Now being set up, Ye Zhen can only respond as the situation unfolds.

Almost the instant the Mirage Dragon Pearl was shaken out of the shaft, Ye Zhen willingly emerged from the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Because if Ye Zhen didn’t come out, the Mirage Dragon Pearl would have no ability to evade.

If Tu Zheng were to get hold of the Mirage Dragon Pearl, though he couldn’t snatch it away, he could seal it, making Ye Zhen extremely passive.

It was too fast!

All of this happened too fast.

Almost the moment Ye Zhen emerged, Tu Zheng’s giant hand came down toward the Mirage Dragon Pearl.

Upon sensing Ye Zhen’s presence, Tu Zheng’s long eyebrows furrowed, and the hand seal suddenly turned from a grasping motion to a covering one, intensifying the power of the hand seal tenfold, aimed at Ye Zhen’s head.

Intending to kill Ye Zhen on the spot.

One after another, spiritual power barriers emerged from Ye Zhen’s body surface, and the Fake Dragon Scale True Body was already activated, layers of fine black scales covering Ye Zhen’s body.

But it was still too hurried.

As soon as Ye Zhen emerged from the Mirage Dragon Pearl, thousands of palm shadows fell like raindrops on Ye Zhen’s body.

Layer upon layer of force, enough to shatter mountains, struck Ye Zhen, causing the black dragon scales on his body to fracture, only to regenerate with the frenzied urging of Ye Zhen’s spiritual power.

However, the speed of regeneration was still slower than the shattering.

Layer upon layer of force penetrated into Ye Zhen’s body, causing his five internal organs and six hollow organs to upheave as if mountains and rivers quaked within him.

It was only because Ye Zhen’s Black Dragon Tyrant Body emphasized body refinement, his physical strength was far superior to that of an ordinary Ninth Stage of the Realm King Realm martial artist; otherwise, just this one strike would have severely injured Ye Zhen on the spot.

However, blood still uncontrollably gushed from Ye Zhen’s mouth, mixed with one or two tiny fragments of internal organs.

A shrill, almost screaming sound echoed from Ye Zhen’s Dark Palace; it was the voice of the Little Demon.

Countless exceptionally tough vines frantically emerged from Ye Zhen’s body surface, instantly forming layers upon layers of tightly knit vine shields around him.

Thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles flickered with terrifying brilliance and fiercely pierced toward Tu Zheng’s green hand seal.

Seeing this, Tu Zheng merely snorted coldly, paying it no heed.

Ye Zhen had a Wood Demon at Early Dao Realm stage at his side; they already knew this information long ago.

However, an Early Dao Realm Wood Demon was long regarded as insignificant by Tu Zheng, who had cultivated to the Dao Realm Peak for thousands of years.

As long as the true body was found, it would just be a matter of a few strikes to annihilate it.

Under his urging, the green hand seal directed towards Ye Zhen became even fiercer.

But the next moment, Tu Zheng’s expression abruptly changed.

It should be noted, it became extremely unpleasant!

His immensely powerful hand seal, which even a Mid Dao Realm expert wouldn’t dare to take continuously, suddenly burst like a bubble after being pricked by the Little Demon’s thirty-six Plum Blossom Essence-Stealing Needles!

It was directly punctured!

"Creation Spiritual Power!"

Tu Zheng’s eyes widened abruptly, "How can an Early Dao Realm Little Demon possess Creation Spiritual Power?"

It was just moments ago that the Little Demon used a trace of Creation Spiritual Power to break the hand seal that was suffocating Ye Zhen!

Almost simultaneously, with a chance to breathe, Ye Zhen utilized the force to soar back rapidly, with blood continuously seeping from the corner of his mouth.

After his initial surprise, the astonishment in Tu Zheng’s eyes turned into an unmistakable excitement; the way he looked at Ye Zhen completely changed.

Creation Spiritual Power!

A Little Demon with Creation Spiritual Power had an entirely different value.

Creation Spiritual Power is the greatest bottleneck and temptation for those stuck at the Dao Realm Peak, unable to break through.

Suddenly, in Tu Zheng’s eyes, Ye Zhen’s value skyrocketed!

Below, the crowd had already fallen into chaos.

Countless Demon Generals surged in from all directions, surrounding the area.

In a matter of moments, Chengfeng Trading Firm’s shopkeeper had roughly figured out the situation. Watching Ye Zhen, who was punched into vomiting blood and flown backwards, the shopkeeper felt utterly frustrated.

They were implicated by this so-called Ye Jiuxiao for no good reason.

But now, all they could do was wait to be interrogated.

This was Two-World City, guarded by the Demon Tribe’s army. Although their caravan’s defensive strength was robust, they dared not act recklessly here.

In a swift retreat, Ye Zhen’s inner breath roared and turned vigorously; the essence blood within his body surged like a river with an immense sound, and the powerful restorative capabilities of the Black Dragon Tyrant Body activated immediately.

Just at the first moment of retreat, half of Ye Zhen’s injuries were already healed, and his overly agitated internal organs had stabilized.

Suddenly, Ye Zhen realized that in the distant sky, Tu Zheng, with a gray treasure pearl suspended above his head, had not pursued him.

Instead, he hovered in the air with a faint cold smile at his lips.

"This is not good!"

In an instant, with a moment to breathe, several Acquired Spirit Treasures floated above Ye Zhen’s head.

Purple Spirit Immortal Sword, Thunder Light Whip, and Bone-attached Poison Flame Pearl.

At that very instant, a laughter as deep as thunder resonated behind Ye Zhen.

"Ye Jiuxiao, Old Bear has been waiting for you here for a long time. This time, let’s see where you can run!"

Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, and nine other Bear Clan Great Saints surged up from the earth abruptly, like stone pillars.

Amidst the cold laugh of Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, Xiong Cheng, four Bear Clan Great Saints lunged at Ye Zhen from four directions, their fan-like palms descending on Ye Zhen like mountains!

"Your preparations are indeed... thorough, but do you really believe you have me cornered?"

With a cold laugh, the Thunder Light Whip above his head erupted with multicolored thunder light, its majestic aura similar to mountains and peaks, causing the faces of Xiong Cheng, the Great Saint of the Giant Spirits, and Tu Zheng to change drastically!

"Five Elements Divine Thunder?"
