Cao Zhen heard Qian Jiao ask the Sun Erosion Demon whether he was ready to take over as the Sect Leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, and suddenly realized something—the Sun Moon Demon had actually already died.

Moreover, the other threatening person they mentioned earlier had also been killed by Qian Jiao.

So, could the Sun Erosion Demon really possibly be the next Sect Leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect?

But it seemed that might not be the case.

There was still Qian Jiao present.

He hadn't seen how Qian Jiao had killed the Xue Yue Demon but even with a surprise attack, the way she killed the Xue Yue Demon without sustaining a single injury suggested that Qian Jiao was far stronger than the Xue Yue Demon.

Furthermore, Qian Jiao had pledged her early allegiance to the Fourth Prince; whichever way you looked at it, Qian Jiao seemed to have a greater chance of becoming the Sect Leader of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect than the Sun Erosion Demon.

After hearing Qian Jiao's words, the Sun Erosion Demon didn't respond directly but shook his head gently and said, "Junior sister, there's still another Sun Moon Demon, now isn't the time to discuss this, it's too dangerous for us here. Do you know who I just encountered? I ran into Cao Zhen!"

"Cao Zhen?" Qian Jiao's eyes suddenly narrowed, and a look of fear appeared on her face as she tensely pointed towards the entrance of the corridor the Sun Erosion Demon had entered and asked, "Senior brother, where did you encounter Cao Zhen? Was it that corridor?"

"Yes!" the Sun Erosion Demon nodded decisively.

"Then how... how did he let you run in here?" Qian Jiao looked at the Sun Erosion Demon in surprise. If it were someone else who encountered Cao Zhen, they might have a chance to survive; after all, Cao Zhen didn't recognize other people, and they prided themselves on being an upright sect, which probably wouldn't easily assassinate strangers.

But the Sun Erosion Demon was different; the Sun Erosion Demon had led people to attack the Hundred Peaks Sect. Cao Zhen might not recognize others, but he would surely recognize the Sun Erosion Demon.

Moreover, Cao Zhen probably wanted to grind the Sun Erosion Demon's bones to dust, so he would undoubtedly launch an extremely fierce attack on sight. How had the Sun Erosion Demon escaped from Cao Zhen's hands?

The Sun Erosion Demon froze, realizing that he might have mentioned something he shouldn't have, what could he say now?

He certainly couldn't reveal the existence of the Overbearing Sky Demonic Master.

So...

"Just after I entered, I saw Cao Zhen from a distance, so I immediately entered this corridor in front of us.

That's why he didn't have time to attack me. As for why he hasn't followed us in now, I don't know."

He couldn't possibly say that Cao Zhen had been scared off, only that Cao Zhen didn't have time to attack them.

"Cao Zhen has not caught up with us probably because we both are in this corridor," Qian Jiao had already fully understood the rules of the corridor and pointed towards the corridor in the distance. "The corridor has become very unique now, only if two people enter a corridor from different entrances can they leave from the same corridor and enter the next one.

Now that you've entered this corridor, Cao Zhen can't come in here because of the rules of this corridor.

But even so, we can only advance to the next corridor. Because then, we two will be considered to have come from the same corridor and won't be able to enter the next one.

Moreover, senior brother, you are really lucky. A corridor can only accommodate two people at the same time; I had just killed the Xue Yue Demon, and you entered right after. If you had encountered Cao Zhen even a little bit earlier, you would not have been able to enter this corridor."

As soon as Qian Jiao finished speaking, a series of footsteps sounded from the other end of the corridor, followed by a second set of footsteps.

Someone had entered the corridor from the other side.

The Sun Erosion Demon immediately widened his eyes, looking at Qian Jiao in shock, "Didn't you say only two people can be in a corridor? How come someone else has come in?"

Qian Jiao was also confused; she should not have been mistaken, a corridor was supposed to accommodate only two people, otherwise Cao Zhen should have pursued them.

Cao Zhen was also baffled; wasn't it that only two people can be in a corridor? Why had someone else entered?

Could it be not a person?

The next moment, a voice full of endless authority came through.

"Third brother, stop running, you cannot escape."

As the voice fell, both Qian Jiao and the Sun Erosion Demon's complexion changed drastically.

And the next moment, a figure already appeared in Cao Zhen's line of sight, instantly, Cao Zhen's eyes narrowed.

The Third Prince of the Qi Tian Dynasty!

So the one calling him 'third brother' could only be one person—the remnant of the former dynasty, the Fourth Prince of the Qi Tian Dynasty!

Cao Zhen looked up at the person who was following from behind.

The Third Prince was a Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection existence, and his ten Golden Cores were in the form of various winds!

Some were tornadoes, while others were winds that flowed like water.

Both being princes, there were some differences between the Third and the Fourth Princes, but the Fourth Prince appeared much more majestic, and the phenomena behind him also differed from those of the Third Prince.

He too was a Ten Different Phenomena Golden Core Great Perfection being, but the phenomena behind him were all different; some Golden Cores manifested as glittering palaces, Cao Zhen noticed that one such palace even somewhat resembled the imperial palace of the Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty.

Some phenomena were of a massive Golden Seal, others of a crown, a lustrous Jade Seal...

Although all of the phenomena differed, it was clear that many of the Fourth Prince's phenomena were connected to the royal family, even to the Emperor.
