Chapter 1367: Clues
At the location of the super teleportation array in Heavenly Water City.
On the largest teleportation platform.
As spatial energy filled the air, the entire Demon Warrior Legion vanished.
When they reappeared, they were already within the territory of the Divine Flame Family.
Led by the Grand Elder, they made a single spatial jump and arrived in Divine Flame City.
However, the scene in Divine Flame City was not what Huo Yang had imagined—there was no grand welcoming crowd.
In fact, it was rather quiet.
Even in the core areas of the Divine Flame Family, only low-level disciples could be seen.
We came back too quickly,” Huo Yang muttered to herself, slightly disappointed.
Su Jingzhen reached out and ruffled her hair, smiling as he said, “We’ve been through too many battles in a short time. Go back and rest, focus on breaking through your cultivation level.
Compared to the achievements you’ve made, your current cultivation is still a bit too low.”
Hearing this, Huo Yang stuck out her tongue, feeling slightly embarrassed.
But she couldn’t refute Su Jingzhen’s words.
Among the core disciples of the Divine Flame Family, she had the highest talent and was the youngest, but her cultivation level was relatively low.
“Brother Jingzhen, don’t worry, I understand.”
Su Jingzhen then turned his gaze to the 2,500 members of the Demon Warrior Legion.
“The same goes for all of you. I’ve already given you plenty of resources in the Central Trial Lands.
Breaking through your current cultivation levels shouldn’t be too difficult for any of you.
Everyone, go into seclusion and focus on your breakthroughs.”
Hearing this, all the members of the Demon Warrior Legion bowed respectfully to You Yue and Su Jingzhen.
Their eyes were still filled with fervor.
They then returned to Huo Yang’s estate and began their respective seclusions.
Su Jingzhen then turned to You Yue.
“My love, you’ve also worked hard during this time. Let me help you relax.”
You Yue had absorbed a Life Heart in the Lost Forest, and her entire demeanor had become even more ethereal.
She no longer resembled a peerless demoness.
Back in the Lost Forest, Su Jingzhen had already been deeply attracted to her.
Now that they finally had some downtime, he wasn’t going to let the opportunity slip by.
You Yue’s cheeks flushed slightly.
She gazed at Su Jingzhen with tender affection and nodded.

Another triple notification appeared.
The two then returned to Su Jingzhen’s private courtyard within Huo Yang’s estate.
As the formation activated, an ancient battle began, and the room was filled with the warmth of spring.
This battle would not end anytime soon.
While Su Jingzhen and You Yue were engaged in their “battle,” the core disciples of the various branches of the Divine Flame Family gradually began to return.
By now, the role the Demon Warrior Legion had played in the Trial Lands and the battle to annihilate the Heavenly Water Family had spread.
And as rumors often do, the story began to deviate. The Demon Warrior Legion was now mythologized as a force with genuine Demon King-level combat power.
“I wonder if the Demon Warrior Legion has returned yet?
I really want to join them.
I hope Miss Huo Yang will expand the Demon Warrior Legion’s numbers this time.”
“It’s hard to imagine that a legion formed by junior disciples could play such a significant role in a Demon King-level force.”
“Rumors say that Jingzhen, the Grand Commander of the Demon Warrior Legion, has the ability to single-handedly challenge a genuine Demon King-level cultivator. I wonder if it’s true.”
“The Demon Warrior Legion… I wonder if I’ll ever have the chance to join them.
From now on, the Demon Warrior Legion holds an even higher place in my heart than our Divine Flame Family’s Demon King.”
“…”
Many core disciples of the Divine Flame Family were discussing this, their eyes filled with fervor.
This was especially true for the legions that had been saved by the Demon Warrior Legion in the Central Trial Lands.
Meanwhile.
On a mountain peak shrouded in dense demonic energy within the Nine Dragons Demon Sect.
The Nine Dragons Demon King, the Heavenly Spring Demon King, and even the Barbarian God Demon King and Heavenly Battle Demon King, who had fled earlier, had all gathered here.
“The Divine Flame Family suddenly has two Demon King-level powerhouses, and now they’ve recruited the demonic tree from the Lost Forest.
They might even have another hidden Demon King-level figure. Right now, the Divine Flame Family could potentially field five Demon King-level combatants!
They could annihilate any force with ease.
Everyone, it’s time to speak openly about our thoughts.”
The Barbarian God Demon King spoke, his expression tinged with fear.
Beside him, the Heavenly Battle Demon King, whose aura was slightly weakened, nodded. “That’s right. The Divine Flame Family has risen to power in an instant. We’re all in the same boat now. Who knows which of us they might target next?”
Hearing this, the Heavenly Spring Demon King curled his lips into a faint smile. “I’ve said it before.
It’s too early for us in the Moluo Realm to pick sides.
You two wanted to seize the initiative, but now that you’ve failed, don’t drag the rest of us down.
If I were in your shoes, having already made your move, there are only two paths left.
Either fight the Divine Flame Family to the death, or cede territory and offer a sincere apology!
Or, simply join the Divine Flame Family’s camp.”
As the Heavenly Spring Demon King spoke, the expressions of everyone present shifted slightly.
Upon further reflection, it seemed those were indeed the only two options left for the two sects.
The Barbarian God Demon King’s brows furrowed again. “Is it really necessary?
Fine, I’ll start by relocating and hiding the core resources of the Barbarian God Demon Sect. If the Divine Flame Family truly targets us, then I’ll accept my fate.”
They had already suffered the consequences of picking sides too early. Now, actively joining the Divine Flame Family was still something they couldn’t bring themselves to do.
“Let’s just hope the Demon God awakens soon.
Once that happens, the situation for the Starry Sky Demons will become clear.
For now, let the Divine Flame Family have their moment.”
…
Two full days later.
The storm between Su Jingzhen and You Yue finally subsided.
At this moment, lines of golden text once again appeared before Su Jingzhen’s eyes.

Over the past two days, You Yue had contributed a total of twenty points.
Combined with the daily fixed points, this added up to over two thousand points.
Su Jingzhen was once again approaching the sixty-thousand-point milestone.
He felt a sense of satisfaction.
Just as Su Jingzhen was still enjoying his time with You Yue, he suddenly received a message from the Fire Pupil Demon King.
His expression shifted abruptly.
He suddenly stood up from the bed.
“Finally, a clue?”
