Meanwhile.
On a distant mountain in the Demon Court.
Six individuals, three men and three women, along with a robust and ferocious-looking monster, were gathered.
"Where is Orochi? Why isn't he here yet?" the burly man from before asked, glancing back.
The others exchanged glances, then shook their heads in silence.
"What's wrong with Orochi?"
The burly man grumbled, "It was one thing before, but with something this important today, he's still like this!"
"Does he truly think he's here to enjoy himself on Blue Star?"
"If he's not coming, should we wait?" a comely female voice inquired.
She was exquisitely featured, with emerald green eyes like precious jewels.
"Wait for what?" the scrawny, bald man said with a bad tone, "Keep waiting and waiting, and by the time he arrives, the flowers will have withered."
"Then shall we move out now?" the ferocious-looking monster licked his lips and rasped, "I can barely wait any longer."
The burly man waved his hand and turned to a woman who had remained silent, her eyes closed. "Have you found Ao Yuan's location?"
Hearing his voice, the woman slowly opened her eyes. She shook her head and whispered, "No."
"I've searched the entire Demon Court and the surrounding hundred li, but I haven't found the slightest trace of him."
Notably, her opened eyes were completely black, like a void.
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent, their eyes gleaming.
With the strength to kill Ares, honestly, no one could find him if he wanted to hide.
This was indeed true.
But what they were thinking was not this, but why he was hiding!
Why would Ao Yuan hide?
Recalling their previous engagement, they could only deduce one possibility: Ao Yuan had been severely wounded in his battle with Ares.
Currently.
He was recuperating.
Only after he had healed would he dare to show himself and stop hiding.
"It seems our previous guess was correct," the burly man took a deep breath, his gaze drifting towards the Demon Court.
They were still some distance away from the Demon Court.
Yet, the Demon Court appeared incredibly clear in their eyes.
At this moment, the Demon Court was shrouded in clouds, surrounded by a vast expanse of blue, resembling a realm of immortality.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's begin our operation."
"While he's recuperating, we'll take his life! Once the main gods arrive later, we can present Ao Yuan to them, and we will surely be praised."
The others exchanged glances and nodded heavily.
"Very well, let's head to the Demon Court first!"
The burly man let out a hearty laugh and led the way towards the Demon Court.
The rest transformed into streaks of light, following closely behind.
For they all knew very well.
Ao Yuan!
Especially a wounded Ao Yuan.
Finding him would be as difficult as ascending to heaven.
However, through their understanding of Ao Yuan's deeds, they knew he had a fatal flaw.
That flaw was the Demon Court.
As long as the Demon Court was used to threaten Ao Yuan, no matter how severe his injuries,
Ao Yuan would definitely appear.
This struck them as an absurd notion; how could the lives of their subordinates be more important than their own lives?
But Ao Yuan's actions provided them with the greatest opportunity.
At this moment.
Within the Demon Court.
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi were leading a group of demon kings in a simple combat drill.
"Hah!"
"Again!"
On the training ground, two demon kings sparred against each other.
The other demon kings, along with Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi, sat below, watching.
They all observed intently, sometimes nodding, sometimes frowning.
As if contemplating how they would defend themselves against the opponent's techniques if they were in a similar duel,
And whether they could withstand it.
After a moment, a demon king stepped forward, blocking their attacks, separating them, and said, "Time is up."
"Dragon Emissaries, would you two please judge who was superior?"
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi exchanged a few quiet words, then stepped forward, about to speak.
Just then.
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi's expressions suddenly changed, and they both looked in one direction.
Their gazes were stern, as if they had sensed something.
Following suit.
Thump, thump, thump!
The demon kings who were sitting nearby also stood up, their faces grave.
Simultaneously, their gazes turned towards the direction Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi were looking.
Because.
At that very moment, they sensed waves of terrifying auras.
Such intense, terrifying auras, they had only felt from Ao Yuan and Ares.
"We have come to pay our respects, who in the Demon Court will come out to meet us immediately!"
Abruptly, a cold voice swept in from afar.
The sound began softly and grew louder, until it struck everyone's ears like a thunderclap.
"Let's go, let's go and see!"
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi led the way, with the other demon kings following closely behind.
Each of them wore a look of deep vigilance.
If before they could still convince themselves that this was nothing.
Then, from the words they had just heard, they could discern that these waves of terrifying auras likely belonged to unwelcome guests!
Upon arriving at the entrance of the Demon Court.
Dai Xiaomei and her group noticed that quite a few demon beasts had already gathered there.
And at the very front of the entrance stood seven figures.
Their auras were contained, yet it was clear that the powerful auras they had just sensed were undeniably released by them.
Looking at them, Dai Xiaomei and the others' faces darkened, their pupils contracting slightly.
The other demon kings were no different.
Clearly, they all recognized the gods who had recently been very high-profile on the internet.
They were known as Apollo, the Sun God, Vesta, the Hearth Goddess, Hermes, the Messenger God, Stoos, the God of Fire, Venus, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, and Diana, the Moon Goddess.
As for the last figure, a monster-like creature, it had not revealed its name, but it was also a god who controlled a small kingdom!
"What business do you have with our Demon Court, esteemed guests?"
Taking a deep breath, Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi stepped forward and asked as a matter of course.
"For no particular reason."
The burly man, who was... glanced at Dai Xiaomei, Mo Zi, and the demon kings behind them, said, "We heard that the number one powerhouse on Blue Star resides here."
"We brothers have come to pay a visit."
"That's right, exactly!" the monster immediately responded, "I'd like to see just how powerful this legendary number one powerhouse is!"
"We, the mighty number one powerhouse, have arrived, why don't you show yourself?"
"And you send these insignificant juniors to greet us?"
"Are you trying to make me laugh to death?"
...
The others spoke in turn, their words mostly filled with sarcasm.
The many demon kings' faces flushed with anger, but Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi suppressed them and said coldly, "If you are here to see the Dragon God's lord."
"Then please come back another time. You are not welcome here now!"
"Furthermore, this is a vital location of the Demon Court. You are gods, and your strength is indeed great!"
"But this is not a place where you can act with impunity!"
Dai Xiaomei and Mo Zi displayed an incredibly strong front, as they both understood that these individuals were definitely not benevolent.
They were undoubtedly here to cause trouble, so they could only show a firm demeanor, which would then allow them to rely on Ao Yuan to suppress them.
...
