Chapter 225: Joyous Melody Valley

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Late at night, in the back palace’s kitchen.

“Exalted Goddess, I’ve investigated the matter that you asked me to previously.” The Demon King lowered his voice and said solemnly.

“So fast!” Lonemoon looked back with an expression of surprise. “How was it?”

“Junior Emperor’s guess was correct, the previous Demon King might still be alive.” The Demon King nodded and continued, “I sent the 10 Skyfiends to look throughout the Demon World, there are indeed many demons who claim that they have seen him.”

Lonemoon frowned. Since he previously saw the idiotic Demon World classical texts, he guessed that the mastermind would be closely related to the previous Demon King even if it was not him.

“Where is he?”

“I don’t know yet.” The Demon King shook his head. “I’ve only heard some rumors, but the locations are all varied, so I don’t have an accurate location. I’ve also interrogated those demons hiding in the Celestial World, but according to them, they lost contact with the previous Demon King over hundreds of thousands of years ago. They did not even know that the Demon World’s Demon King has changed, even the Skyfiend called Zi Chen is also the same.”

Well, this was tough. Lonemoon’s brows furrowed even harder. If even Blackie could not find him, the others would struggle even harder to do so.

“How did you become the Demon King then?” Shen Ying suddenly asked.

The Demon King was stunned for a moment, he did not understand why she was asking, but he answered honestly, “I defeated the previous Demon King, so I naturally became the new Demon King.” he replied proudly. The demons had always lived by a simple rule, whoever was stronger would be the Demon King. “Back then, I beat him up like crazy and thought that he was already dead, but I didn’t expect him...”

“So, that means you were the last person to see him.” Shen Ying replied.

Eh? The Demon King was stunned.

Lonemoon’s eyes lit up and he immediately understood as well. He dragged Blackie over and asked, “Where did the two of you fight?”

“Near the Joyous Melody Valley in the Demon World.” The Demon King replied. “Back then, our cultivation levels were similar and we fought for seven to eight days. Finally, I used all my strength to destroy his Demon Soul. He fell near the Joyous Melody Valley and should be dead... Could he be hiding there?”

“Where is the Joyous Melody Valley?” If his guess was not wrong, the previous Demon King was playing dead back then.

“The Joyous Melody Valley is in the eastern region of the Demon World, near to the edge.” Back then, they had chose to fight there because they were afraid of destroying the Demon World.

“We head there now to take a look!”

“Okay.” The Demon King nodded and the two of them were about to leave.

“Bon voyage.” A familiar voice sounded from behind them.

Lonemoon, who had already taken a step out of the door immediately turned back and his expression blackened. He dragged the person who was still lying lazily on the chair and said, “You go with us too!”

“But Master is...”

“You too!” He turned to the person who was holding a plate of spicy crayfish.

Yi Qing: “...” But Master hasn’t even eaten her supper yet?

Shen Ying “...” D*mn it, I knew I shouldn’t have said anything.

Blackie: “...” This Junior Emperor Lonemoon appears to be stronger than the Exalted Goddess, another backer to rely on!

——————

Three days later, near the Demon World’s Joyous Melody Valley.

The Joyous Melody Valley got its name because it had multiple narrow ravines, with one that was bottomless. If one wanted to fly all the way to the bottom of that ravine, they would require four to six hours. Moreover, there were strong winds in the valley. Whenever the wind blew, the entire valley would ring with different melodies, like a tune reverberating through the entire valley, thus earning it the name — Joyous Melody Valley.

This was the edge of the Demon World, if they went further east, they would reach the Land of Nothingness. This area had sparse demonic Qi and was a place where nothing grew and nobody stayed for thousands of miles around here. All the while, it was rare for any demons to step foot here. The Demon King had previously destroyed the previous Demon King, Zhan Ting’s Demon Soul and knocked him into the deepest ravine before he thought he was dead.

But from the looks of it...

“This... is what you meant by uninhabitable?” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched as he pointed at the demon city that was even larger than the Invincible Palace.

Uninhabitable my foot! The bottom of the valley has a d*mn demon city! All these figures, could they possibly be immortals? Hell no!

The Demon King was also baffled. He did not know that there was such a huge demon city at the foot of the valley!

“I... I don’t know what’s going on either?” The Demon King looked at the demon city in front of him with a bewildered expression. His legs went jelly and he frantically hugged Shen Ying’s leg and said, “Exalted Goddess, you have to listen to me. If I really knew, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”

“That’s enough!” Lonemoon sighed. Look at this good-for-nothing, did he become the Demon King simply by acting coy. “Let’s go into the city and have a look. It looks like the one called Zhan Ting is likely to be in the city.”

“Wait a minute!” Seeing them about to enter the city, the Demon King frantically took out a few pieces of black talismans. “Exalted Goddess, this is the demon gathering talisman that I have prepared, it can accumulate the surrounding demonic Qi onto your body. That way, other people will not be able to see the Immortal Qi on your bodies.” If an immortal were to enter the demon city, they would be like a lighted lamp, any demon would be able to see them at a glance. If Zhan Ting was really in the city, they would be alerting him.

“Okay, thank you!” The three of them received the talismans and Lonemoon immediately stuck it onto his body. As expected, he soon became like the Demon King, his body surrounded by black demonic Qi.

Shen Ying looked curiously and imitated the two of them, slapping the talisman onto her chest. In the next moment, strands of black Qi appeared to be attracted by something and gathered around her. The strange thing was, the demonic Qi did not surround her tightly like Lonemoon and Yi Qing, but stopped one meter away from her like they were fearing something. They refused to move forward and continued moving in the one meter around her. Not long after, she had been wrapped into a one meter-long — black egg!

“Done!” Shen Ying nodded her head.

“Done my foot!” Lonemoon’s mouth twitched. She stood out more than when she didn’t have the demonic Qi around her, “Are you blind? In what way does this look like it’s done!?”

“Haih, how troublesome!” Shen Ying sighed, “How about you give me another one, Blackie.”

“Okay!” The Demon King immediately passed her another talisman.

Shen Ying pasted it on her chest with no hesitation, then... the egg grew even larger!

Yi Qing: “...”

Lonemoon: “...”

Blackie: “...”

What the heck? Why did even the Demonic Qi not dare to approach Shen Ying, were the beings in the Demon World all that cowardly?

Lonemoon took a deep breath, then walked up to Shen Ying and tore off the two talismans on her chest. The demonic Qi disappeared in an instant, and he said, “You don’t need it.” With her sense of existence, it was probably hard for people to notice her anyway.

“Oh.”

“Also, after we enter the city, we will find a place to rest. You and the chef stay there, wait for us to return. Understand?”

“Oh, what are you going to do?”

“What else!” A burst of anger rushed up Lonemoon’s chest. “Aren’t we here to look for the previous Demon King Zhan Ting’s whereabouts? Of course I’m going to ask around.”

“Oh, is that of use?”

“Even if it isn’t, we have to try! You think Zhan Ting is a freebie that will just fall from the sky into your lap...”

Thump...

Before he could finish his sentence, a figure fell from the sky and crashed in front of the four of them, instantly creating a human-shaped hole about a meter deep. A man dressed in black was twitching in the hole and as he turned around, he revealed a handsome face.

“Zhan Ting!” Blackie exclaimed.

Oh! The Demon King really fell from the sky.

Lonemoon: “...”

Yi Qing: “...”
