"Your Majesty, please sit down." The Demon Emperor was very polite when he saw His Majesty, but his stiff expression, covered with a layer of frost, remained unchanged.
Even after His Excellency sat down, he remained as indifferent as ever.
The two sat facing each other inside the main tent, neither of them speaking.
The large main tent fell into an eerie silence for a moment.
The two people, one with an icy expression and the other with aloof arrogance, were evenly matched, neither superior to the other.
An eerie silence flowed between the two of them, neither speaking as the suffocating silence continued to spread.
The soldiers guarding the main tent from a distance could vaguely sense the terrifying aura inside. They swallowed hard and moved further away without leaving a trace.
It wasn't that he was timid; it was just that the atmosphere inside the main tent was so overwhelming that it made him breathless and his heart pounding wildly.
No one knows how much time has passed—a quarter of an hour, half an hour, or an hour—no one can say for sure.
The Demon Emperor and the Venerable One remained silent, sitting quietly as if testing their endurance.
There were no sparks of hostility flying inside the main tent, but the two were engaged in a silent contest.
Finally, His Majesty moved, raising his arm and gently tucking the long hair that had fallen beside his temples behind his ear with his slender fingers.
With this small gesture, the oppressive and suffocating atmosphere inside the main tent suddenly eased.
"Does Your Majesty have any good ideas for attacking the Demon Realm?" The Demon Emperor casually asked, breaking the silence in the main tent.
"Demon Emperor, let's speak frankly." The Venerable One did not respond to the Demon Emperor's question earlier, but instead wanted to ask a question that had been troubling her for a long time.
The Demon Emperor looked at His Majesty in surprise. The His Majesty he knew had always been arrogant. For her to ask such a question so proactively, it must be something that was difficult for her to understand.
"Please speak," the Demon Emperor said, also curious about what question had troubled and puzzled the Venerable One.
After thinking for a moment, His Excellency decided to tell the truth without beating around the bush: "Not long ago, someone broke into our Immortal Realm."
The Demon Emperor nodded.
He was not surprised at all.
The Three Realms have maintained a state of peace, but this peace is only on the surface. Everyone knows that no one is willing to submit to anyone else.
It's normal for someone to go to other places to investigate.
But what kind of person is it that makes His Majesty care so much?
"That was a wisp of a spirit. I didn't see her face clearly, but I can confirm that she was a woman." The Venerable One didn't intend to hide anything, saying whatever came to mind. The only thing he concealed was the secret of their Immortal Realm regarding immortal souls.
"A ghost?" The Demon Emperor was slightly taken aback.
It is said that for a person's soul to leave the body, it would require a great deal of power.
Because under normal circumstances, the souls of those who die a natural death return to the underworld.
Very few souls survive by chance, and those that do not dissipate are those with extremely powerful abilities.
A living person can impose their soul or consciousness onto another person, but doing so is extremely harmful to the user's health, and if not handled properly, the soul will be scattered.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, no one would take such a risk without a special reason.
"Then, Your Majesty, do you think that ghost is from the Demon Realm or the Monster Realm?" The Demon Emperor understood what His Majesty meant by saying this.
Just as the Three Realms were about to go to war, the Immortal Realm was invaded by a wisp of a ghost. Naturally, she was concerned about which side sent it.
If it's the demon realm, it means that besides the demon gods and others, the demon realm has other formidable enemies.
If it's the Demon Realm, then it means that their cooperation with the Immortal Realm isn't genuine.
No wonder the atmosphere was so strange when Her Majesty came in; it turns out she had something on her mind.
However, this person wasn't actually sent out by him; it's unknown who did it.
Is it the Demon Realm or the King of Jing?
"I don't know." To the Demon Emperor's utter surprise, the Venerable One gave him this answer.
"Don't know?" Even the Demon Emperor, whose face was usually expressionless, couldn't help but frown at this moment, staring at the Venerable with surprise.
What do you mean by "not clear"?
"That wisp of ghost only flashed by?" This was the only possibility the Demon Emperor could think of.
The Venerable One discovered that the wisp of a spirit had intruded into the Immortal Realm, and the wisp of a spirit also realized that her whereabouts had been exposed. Therefore, before the Immortal Realm could take any action, she fled.
Only in this way could he understand why the Venerable One was unclear about which place that wisp of soul belonged to.
"No." The Venerable One's eyes flickered uncertainly, clearly this question had troubled her for a long time. In a calm tone, completely opposite to her anxious state of mind, she slowly said, "I fought with her, so I don't know where she is from."
Even the most composed Demon Emperor couldn't withstand such a shock from His Majesty.
They've already engaged in combat, yet Your Majesty still doesn't know where that wisp of a spirit comes from?
Could it be that the ghost was so powerful that it could destroy the world with a single move and instantly kill everyone?
The thought had barely surfaced when the Demon Emperor shook his head vigorously in denial.
If you kill your opponent instantly, then what is the Venerable One sitting opposite him?
The soul?
