Thinking about it, Zhao Huai felt an inexplicable headache.

“If only the military counselor was here.”

Suddenly, Zhao Huai thought of a white-haired woman.

If Yin Nanyu was here, perhaps all these problems could be easily resolved. She had the most intelligent mind Zhao Huai had ever seen, and he couldn’t hide any schemes from her.

Where had she gone?

Song Zhishu had always been Zhao Huai’s capable subordinate, and he understood his preferences and habits very well. At this moment, he only needed to see Zhao Huai glance to the side and knew what he was thinking.

“Your Highness is thinking about the military counselor, right?”

“Yes, if the military counselor were here, maybe all these problems could be easily solved,” Zhao Huai said solemnly.

Regardless of anything else, Zhao Huai had witnessed Yin Nanyu’s ability to handle matters and make plans, which were among the best he had seen.

“A few days ago, someone came to the manor with a message saying that Yin Nanyu was involved in some troubles and was detained in Western State.”

“I specifically had someone investigate, but unfortunately, we didn’t get any results.”

Hearing this, Zhao Huai frowned and said, “What exactly happened in the Western State? All the clues point to it, and I can’t help but suspect that a major change is about to happen.”

He really wanted to go to the Western State, but his reason told him that the timing wasn’t right.

“Now that Xia Country has finally stabilized, and these rumors are spreading, it would be best for Your Highness to go to Xia Country and check on the situation.”

After listening to Song Zhishu’s words, Zhao Huai nodded thoughtfully.

Then, a report from a soldier of the Yan army came from outside the manor.

“Reporting to Your Royal Crown Prince, a few soldiers were acting sneakily. We suspect they were spies sent by Xia Country, but they quickly broke free and left the courtyard.”

“What?”

Zhao Huai was surprised to hear this.

Immediately, he ran out quickly, looked at the soldiers lying on the courtyard ground and his eyes turned cold.

It seemed that the other party had already planted people inside his ranks.

It might be the mastermind behind the spread of these rumors, and he could trace them back to the real perpetrators.

As he thought of this, his divine insight spread out in his mind, forming a large net.

Indeed, he saw several strange-looking soldiers fleeing towards the main entrance.

He leaped upwards, several dozen meters high, and went directly to the front yard to intercept them.

Zhou Ping, Dongfang Xuan, and the others followed suit as they saw this.

“Capture them all!”

The chaos in the Yan Hall had barely subsided when it erupted again. Commanders and leaders of the Dragon Riders of the Yan were busy capturing people, carrying long sabers, and filled with murderous intent.

Surrounding about a dozen ordinary-looking soldiers in the middle.

Their presences were very peculiar, filled with vigorous blood, and even seemed to breathe blood. They looked like cultivators, but they were somehow different.

Though they looked like humans, something seemed off.

If one didn’t pay attention, they wouldn’t be able to notice this.

Zhao Huai descended gracefully to the ground, his body guarded by several Mighty cultivators in the Rebirth Realm. His lineup was remarkable, that even a Metamorphosis Stage expert would be helpless against him.

A seemingly ordinary Yan soldier suddenly exploded with violence, grabbing a sharp long spear from the ground and attacking Zhao Huai at an astonishing speed like a shadow.

Zhao Huai raised his hand and cast out a sword qi, expressionless.

“Puff!”

In the blink of an eye, the sword qi pierced the opponent’s heart and splashed three feet of blood.

However, the Yan soldier strangely didn’t fall and continued to advance with the spear rapidly.

This caused a flash of surprise in Zhao Huai’s eyes.

At this moment, Granny Su Li waved her purple sleeves and unleashed a vast force, sending the Yan soldier flying away.

He slammed heavily onto the ground.

For an ordinary person, or even a cultivator in the Golden Core Realm, this blow would have been fatal, shattering their internal organs, bones, and meridians.

In theory, there was no way that soldier could stand back up.

Yet the soldier rose to his feet, his eyes flashing a trace of bloodthirsty red, and his pupils filled with a strange red hue.

“Something is odd.”

Zhou Ping was the first to mumble.”

“He doesn’t seem to be human, but a demon.” Dongfang Xuan, with her black veil, echoed.

“A devil creature?”

Granny Su Li, with her extensive knowledge and experience, recognized the enemy’s origin and felt puzzled.

How could there be a devil creature in Central State?

The blood on the Yan soldier flowed like it was alive, entering the soldier’s body, and he charged again with the long spear.

This time, Zhao Huai became serious. He gathered his magic power at his fingertips and drew a talisman in the palm of his hand.

With a gentle wave, a blue lightning bolt appeared and struck out, sending the Yan soldier flying away.The body had turned completely charred, and the blood that originally flowed had all evaporated, leaving nothing behind.

The corpse of the Yan soldier immediately hollowed out and turned into human skin.

This time, it didn’t stand up again.

“It’s still the Thunder Palm Talisman.”

Zhao Huai muttered softly.

Seeing their companion killed, all the bizarre soldiers became extremely angry, opened their mouths wide, revealed their gleaming fangs, and pounced at everyone.

The appearance was still quite frightening.

“Senior, use lightning fire.”

Zhao Huai reminded them.

Granny Su Li and Yang Biao nodded, and the dazzling magic power was unleashed, causing the spiritual qi in the entire courtyard to boil.

“Fireball Technique.”

The most straightforward and unadorned magic, the orange-red flame surged like a river, washing over more than a dozen soldiers.

Thunder spells were constantly being used on Zhao Huai’s hands.

From his fingertips, arcs of lightning shot out and fell on their bodies, instantly turning them charred black.

“Boom!”

For a moment, the courtyard was covered in thunder and lightning, and the trees inside turned to ash, with the ground full of pits and hollows.

There were also a dozen more pieces of skin on the ground.

Zhao Huai glanced at the thunderbolt in his palm and then at the filth on the ground that had been stripped completely, shaking his head and saying, “It seems, this matter is not as simple as I thought.”

“This should be a Bloody Devil.”

Even though they had completely wiped out the enemy, Granny Su Li’s face didn’t show the satisfaction one would have expected.

“Bloody Devil?”

“Bloody Devils are one of the types of demons, and they are also common devil creatures in the netherworld.”

Granny Su Li explained.

“Is the netherworld full of such things?”

Zhao Huai had never been to the netherworld nor the netherworld land, so he naturally didn’t know what was inside.

He only knew that the netherworld was full of demons.

He had seen ghosts, strange creatures, and Evil Spirits, but he had never seen such a devil creature before.

Ordinary means couldn’t kill them at all, they could only be completely destroyed.

“There are many types of demons in the netherworld; since 500 years ago, many creatures that we have never seen before have been born, and each of them is extremely difficult to deal with.”

Granny Su Li said solemnly.

“It is said that after people die, they go to the netherworld and live another life in another state.”

“These are low-level devil creatures without intelligence. If we encounter even more powerful ones, they would be even more difficult to deal with. I once met a Seven Tribulations Ghost King comparable to a human Rebirth Realm cultivator, who not only possessed an indestructible flesh body but also had a strong primordial spirit. Such a thing would be unthinkable now, as normal ghost creatures don’t have physical bodies, but the fact that it had one meant it had died in the netherworld, with its corpse becoming part of its strength.”

“What Granny Su Li is talking about should be the combination of Evil Spirits and devil creatures, called Corpse Devils.”Dongfang Xuan’s gentle voice said solemnly.

“I heard my Master say that a Corpse Devil once appeared in the sea of Southern State, and its cultivation was indeed terrifying. My Master had to expend a lot of effort to kill it.”

After listening to the two of them, Zhao Huai had a new understanding of the netherworld and said thoughtfully, “As I remember, the entrance to the netherworld is in the Northern State, right?”

“When did Bloody Devils infiltrate the Central State?”

“Could it be…”

“The sacrificial altar in the Northern State has already had an accident.”

Granny Su Li sighed.

“No matter what, the current situation is not optimistic, the Primitive World is already strong enough, and if the netherworld is added, it would be disastrous.”

Suddenly, Zhao Huai became even more worried about Yu Qinghan’s safety.

Madam was in the north, not far from the Northern State, just three states and two prefectures away. If something happened, it would be disastrous.

He decided to visit Xia’s Capital.

Zhao Huai looked up at Granny Su Li, Zhou Ping, and the others, and said solemnly, “Split up. Granny Su Li came from the Western State and should be familiar with the Western States. You can help prepare the geomancy maps or general situation of the Western States, and when I come back from the Xia Country, if I can ally with the other forces, we can then fight against the Shenluo Empire.”

“Your Highness is going to Xia’s Capital?”

Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan both looked at him as if they had something to say.

“Yes, you follow Granny Su Li. Right now, the situation in the Western State is urgent and perhaps needs your help.”

Zhao Huai instructed them this way.

Zhou Ping and Dongfang Xuan could only nod in agreement.

After half a day of rest and recuperation,

Zhao Huai prepared himself, stepped on the flying sword, and headed towards Xia’s Capital.

This would be his second visit to the capital city.
