“So many of the Devil Clan hidden beneath the canal, and we never discovered them all this time?”

“Hiss… so many of the Devil Clan, lurking below the canal, what is their purpose?”

“If we hadn’t discovered these devils and had let them hide here, who knows what kind of consequences would have brewed…”

The numerous constables of the Bureau of the Lamp stood by the canal, their faces turning slightly pale with shock as they discussed nonstop.

At the same time.

This sky-high Devil Qi also caught the attention of many powerful individuals within the Capital city, each of them extending their gazes and staring above the canal, equally shocked.

“Previously there were incidents of the Devil Clan smuggling themselves, but this time, it’s not just smuggling—have they moved here!?”

“There was already a fox devil in the Capital city before; I thought it was just an accident, but I didn’t expect that so close to the Capital city, within the canal, so many of the Devil Clan were hidden.”

“It’s good that they were discovered in advance, otherwise who knows what kind of consequences would have occurred.”

Inside the Capital city, the sudden explosion of sky-reaching Devil Qi stirred up wave after wave of clamor.

The entire Capital city was now in chaos.

Meanwhile, inside Duke Zhen’s Mansion, Cheng Guang, the instigator of it all, had already entered his dreams, unaware of the outside world’s affairs.

……

Below the turbulent pitch-black waters of the wide canal.

Suddenly, beams of silver light spilled out from the water, and numerous tall men with dark green skin emerged, exuding a strong presence, their fierce eyes flashing with brutality, and their longswords emitting a chilling light.

Their gazes were tightly fixed on Emperor Zhou above them.

In front of the imposing and powerful Emperor Zhou, high-ranking members of the Bureau of the Lamp like Cheng Zhihai and Qian Siyuan were subconsciously ignored by them.

It wasn’t that Cheng Zhihai and others didn’t exert enough oppressive feeling on the Devil Clan, but because the oppressive feeling given by Emperor Zhou was too overwhelming that they couldn’t take their eyes off him.

At the same time, below the surface of the water, numerous eyes emitting a strange light faintly appeared. Countless Devils of all sizes, all possessing not-so-low cultivation levels, were lurking.

Emperor Zhou’s dignified eyes swept around and his brow slightly furrowed, seemingly dissatisfied with the scene before him.

Just as he was about to say something, suddenly a round of clapping echoed from beneath the surface of the water.

The water was now like silk, automatically parting.

Several figures slowly emerged from beneath the surface.

The leader among them, a man dressed in a white moon-colored coarse linen robe, had an extraordinary handsome face with a strangely alluring beauty. With every gesture, he seemed to exude a strong sense of charm.

He smiled and looked towards Emperor Zhou.

“Impressive, impressive, indeed worthy of being Emperor Zhou, to actually have discovered our presence. I wonder how you managed to find us?”

“By rights, my arrangement and concealment were both extremely perfect.”

As the man spoke, he slowly stepped out of thin air, his whole body’s Devil Qi concentrated but not released. Facing Emperor Zhou, his face still bore a smile without any hint of panic or confusion.

Emperor Zhou watched the man before him, and his previously furrowed brow somewhat relaxed, as he coldly said:

“Green Hill Fox Clan? You, a mere Devil Emperor of the Green Hill Fox Clan, dare to come to Great Zhou? If you had run away, that would have truly been troubling for me.”

Emperor Zhou said that, then with a wave of his hand dismissed Cheng Zhihai and the others behind him, and took a step towards the man in white.

The man in white still wore a smile, not changing his expression even in the face of Emperor Zhou’s robust aura, but simply took a step back.

“Emperor Zhou, no need to be hasty, we harbor no ill will.”

As he spoke, a strange gleam blossomed in his eyes, attempting to envelop Emperor Zhou in its light.

Emperor Zhou, paying no heed, formed seals with his hands, each movement seemingly able to draw upon the power of heaven and earth. His powerful Primordial Spirit manifested behind him like a divine general from the nine heavens, bearing down on the man in white.

Although Emperor Zhou didn’t know what support or purpose this Devil Emperor of the Green Hill Fox Clan had to venture alone into Great Zhou, he could feel a sense of unease from the aura emanating from this person.

Even as a Sky-Man, facing this Fox Devil Emperor, he could still sense a feeling of insecurity. If this Devil Emperor was left to hide beneath the canal unchecked, who knew what kind of disaster would eventually brew!

Emperor Zhou’s eyes turned icy, and the intent to kill surged within him.

The man in white’s eyes, flashing with a devilish luster, showed a trace of surprise.

What surprised him wasn’t just that Emperor Zhou had suddenly discovered their hiding place but that Emperor Zhou’s cultivation was so profound.

He felt the killing intent and nearly overwhelming aura radiating from Emperor Zhou.

Once the royalty of the Four Directions Mortal World reached the Sky-Man Realm, they weren’t comparable to ordinary Sky-Men.

Even though he was a Devil Emperor, having stepped into this supreme realm of heaven and earth hundreds of years earlier than the young Emperor Zhou, he might not be a match for Emperor Zhou.

As the man in white acted to defend himself, Emperor Zhou’s Proving Dao Map came bearing down, and he felt, apart from the world-ending pressure it contained, that it also pulsated with an extremely pure Power of the Primordial Spirit.
