Embracing Zhang Zhenhai, Zhang Rongfang pointed a finger to the ground.
Immediately, a red light rose from the ground, enveloping them both.
The red light flew out of the room, heading straight towards the Celestial Lotus Palace.
In just this short amount of time, the gray light within Zhang Zhenhai’s body began to stir again, trying to expand and strengthen.
He needed to change location to fully suppress it.
Zhang Rongfang had a premonition that if Yi were to be born, this world might instantly expand, turning into a place of decay, decline, and silence.
As an ultimate creature, the Blood Ancestor, his biological instincts were highly predictive.
However, there was no corresponding information from La’s side, and little was known about the Decaying World and the Sea of Oblivion.
Long was completely unreliable in this regard.
Therefore, after deliberating in his mind, Zhang Rongfang made a decisive decision to visit Taoyuan before the meeting commenced to inquire from Dipa.
In comparison, he realized that Dipa knew even more than La, the Palace Master of the Eternal Palace.
This was a rather bizarre situation.
Before long.
The Celestial Lotus Palace squirmed, and the large face of Zhang Rongfang slowly emerged from its top exterior.
This signified that he left most of his blood essence power there.
At this moment, the face with its eyes slightly closed represented that the main consciousness had temporarily left.
And a beam of blood light flew out again, heading towards another corner of Yuan Chang where the passage to Taoyuan was always open.

Meanwhile, as Zhang Rongfang was troubled by the sudden emergence of the decaying will, Yi.
The Three Kings Netherworld of Chana Tower had already discovered Ounan’s team of bloodline carriers on the edge of the battlefield.
Inside Chana Tower.
Long still entrenched at the bottom of the tower, occupying a large space.
The Three Kings stood in a triangular formation, stationed each on a protruding platform of the inner wall.
The Three Kings remained on the perimeter, with Long in the center, embodying the constant state within Chana Tower. It also highlighted the status and situation of the four entities within the tower.
"We’ve also had contact with previous Secret Keepers, but none as powerful as Herudira, the King of Secret Keepers, this time." Nether reported in a low tone. "Preliminary judgment is that this group played a crucial role in instigating events."
He pointed with one hand.
Above the four of them, a transparent light screen naturally appeared.
The screen displayed a static image of the entire battlefield.
The image rapidly shrank, focusing on the team of bloodline carriers led by Sol at the edge.
"According to Ladi Lan’s intelligence, the Secret Keepers’ secret lock was originally static.
But once the bloodline defense program is activated, the King of Secret Keepers will be mobilized against external threats."
"Herudira, the Peacemaker, indeed was a creation from the same era as I was." Long replied with a smile.
"Therefore, our decision is to preemptively eliminate this team of bloodline carriers. To prevent the subsequent activation of the King of Secret Keepers on the remaining two major secret locks." Nether stated earnestly.
"Agreed. Although we don’t have much clue about the other two secret locks at the moment, resolving potential threats in advance is also a good approach. Time is still abundant." Ophelia said.
"Let the Thirteen Demons deal with this team of bloodline carriers. They’re idle anyway, and it spares them from causing trouble in Yuan City." Ladi Lan stated in a low tone. He was always a man of few words with a cold demeanor.
During normal times, the demons accompany the Demon Lord on large occasions.
But most of the time, they’re utterly idle. After all, there’s no threat from adversaries and most surroundings are filled with mindlessly confused Evil Spirits.
Hence, the demons are very bored.
Previously, their entertainment was finding fights and fun everywhere.
Now with Yuan City established, which could suppress their corruption aura, making them no different from ordinary people.
This immediately enthralled all the demons, making them reluctant to leave.
Not only the Thirteen Demons, but all lower and mid-level demons, every single one of them, rushed to the City of Sin.
"Heard all your demons have run off?" Nether looked at Ladi Lan.
The Thirteen Demons are under the three Kings, each with several powerful aides. In a strict sense, the demons are the true kings of the Evil Spirits.
While the Three Kings and Long were creations of the Spirit Eye Race back in the day.
Demons are considered strong entities evolved naturally from maleficence radiation.
"None of your business!" Ladi Lan retorted without even looking at Nether.
"Then let Hong Xu go." Ophelia decided.
The strength of Evil Spirits is considerable, and they occasionally self-detonate powerfully. But the number that can take orders and execute detailed instructions is truly not many.
Even demons have extremely impulsive and irritable moments.
And Hong Xu is the calmest among the Thirteen Demons.
Ranked fifth, his strength is also respectable. He and Bells handle external and internal matters, respectively, overseeing all operations and maintenance at Chana Tower. They hold a position akin to top management inside and out.
"As for Hong Xu... it’s possible." Nether contemplated and nodded.
These matters Long never participated in; all decisions were made by the Three Kings.
It was like an observer. If it wasn’t actively asked, it would provide no interference or response.
"We have determined the approximate region for the second secret lock, and the next step is a thorough search." Ophelia continued.
"The Bloodline from the Blood Alliance is actually better suited for search tasks than Evil Spirits. We should negotiate with the Blood Alliance to involve the Bloodline in this matter." Nether suggested.
"The Blood King won’t agree. That fellow isn’t easy to deal with...." Ophelia frowned, shaking her head.
Recalling the last attack in mid-route, which was just by the Blood King’s subordinates, they didn’t manage to provide timely rescue, resulting in the loss of two of her competent aides.
Whenever she thinks about it, her heart aches.
The emergence of demons is extremely rare, and the total number of demons isn’t that large. Losing two high-level demons at once caused considerable chaos among her already scarce clear-minded subordinates.
