Chapter 252
One had massive, protruding ears with a green face and sharp fangs.
The other had a crimson red face, twin horns growing from his head, and perfectly round, glaring eyes, it was none other than Wind Catching Ear and Thousand Mile Eye.
"Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!" The two bowed respectfully toward the Jade Emperor.
"My two beloved subjects have arrived, hurry..." The Jade Emperor immediately ordered them to deploy their divine abilities.
Divine light shot out from Thousand Mile Eye’s eyes, as long as he had Cecilia’s Eight Characters of Birth, he could pinpoint her location.
Mysterious soundwaves rippled outward from Wind Catching Ear’s massive ears, allowing him to hear Cecilia’s conversations from thousands of miles away.
The power of profound cosmic mysteries rapidly surged toward Cecilia’s location.
But suddenly...
Pfft! The divine light in Thousand Mile Eye’s eyes vanished abruptly, and two streams of fresh blood poured from the corners of his eyes!
Wind Catching Ear violently clamped his hands over his ears as blood seeped out between his fingers! Both their faces twisted in absolute agony.
"Your Majesty... a mysterious force has completely blocked our probing!" Thousand Mile Eye groaned painfully.
Inside the resplendent golden hall, everyone revealed looks of utter shock.
Although Thousand Mile Eye and Wind Catching Ear didn’t possess high cultivation realms, their innate divine abilities were practically impossible for even an ordinary Saint to block.
Even though Cecilia possessed the Innate Dao Body, she shouldn’t have been able to block this level of cosmic scrying, let alone cause a violent backlash against the two divine lords.
If Cecilia truly possessed that kind of terrifying strength, why would she even be hiding? She could have fought the Nova Clan head-on!
"Beloved Subject Nova, as you can see, it isn’t that we don’t want to help you, but rather that special circumstances have arisen." The Jade Emperor smiled faintly.
"However, my two generals have already deployed their divine abilities and suffered a severe backlash for it, the Emperor Talisman must still be paid."
Damion was speechless.
The corners of Jorath’s mouth curled into a smirk, serves you right.
"Beloved Subject Jorath, look at this, we failed to obtain their location, which perfectly satisfies your condition, therefore, your Emperor Talisman must also be paid!"
Jorath’s mouth twitched violently, his smile vanishing without a trace.
Aboard the Ferry
The faceless woman lay with her head resting on the Dragon Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter, her arm, pale and flawless as snow, slowly lowered back down, the supreme energy lingering on it dissipating into the air.
"What did you just do?" The girl’s voice transmitted telepathically from beneath her head.
"Nothing much, just stopped a little trouble, hurry up and sleep, you need to sleep early and wake up early so you can grow up, and then you can give me your face." The faceless woman’s voice carried a light chuckle.
"Drop dead! Stop plotting for my face!" The girl retorted angrily, completely ignoring the faceless woman after that.
The faceless woman didn’t speak further either, her faceless, hollow head simply rested there, the Dragon Tiger Jade Auspicious Scepter visible beneath it, no one knew what she was thinking.
On the floor, Adam and Cecilia had set up a makeshift bed.
The ferry still had a long journey ahead, so they could finally get a relatively peaceful and solid sleep.
In truth, Adam had already laid down a formation designed to obscure the heavenly secrets.
Even if the faceless woman hadn’t intervened, Thousand Mile Eye and Wind Catching Ear still wouldn’t have been able to pinpoint their exact location.
The Heavenly Court
After the Demon Extermination Alliance concluded their discussions and departed, the Jade Emperor looked down at the two Emperor Talismans in his hand, both radiating terrifying suppressive auras.
The corners of his mouth curled upward uncontrollably.
After dismissing the court, he walked slowly toward his sleeping quarters alone.
Stopping before an entirely ordinary-looking wall, he slowly pulled back a golden velvet drape covering it.
What was revealed was not a resplendent golden wall, but a terrifying, gigantic mouth exuding a suffocating stench of blood and gore.
He casually tossed the two Emperor Talismans straight into that gaping maw.
The giant mouth reacted as if it had been fed a peerless delicacy, even letting out satisfied, grunting sounds.
A moment later, the giant mouth spat out a single glowing blood bead.
Staring at that blood bead, raw greed bled into the Jade Emperor’s eyes, without hesitation, he swallowed it whole.
His entire face instantly flushed a vibrant, deep red.
However, somewhere beneath his imperial robes, a patch of formerly wrinkled, aged skin instantly became impossibly smooth and completely rejuvenated.
The ferry flew through the sky for a full month before finally arriving at the giant coastal city, Hundred Rivers City.
Ever since leaving Demon Slaying Mountain, Adam had not stepped off the ferry once, he spent the entire time reading books on board.
It wasn’t that he didn’t want to go out and search for fortuitous encounters, but the world had become far too chaotic.
After that day, the Demon Race seemed to have completely lost their minds, their three great armies suddenly launched a ferocious, all-out offensive.
This caught the defending forces of the Heavenly Court and the Demon Extermination Alliance off guard, forcing them to retreat again and again.
As for the Demon Race’s Eastern Advancement Army Camp, rumors said they had already reached the border, it wouldn’t be long before they formally marched into the Eastern Continent.
This terrified everyone in the Mysterious Yellow Great World.
The people who lived at or near the borders had long since begun to migrate, they all hoped to get as far away from the Demon Race as possible.
This situation left Adam deeply puzzled.
It was understandable that the Heavenly Void Mystic Realm’s overall strength might not match the Demon Race’s.
However, the Heavenly Court was the absolute ruler of the Three Thousand Worlds, logically speaking, the Demon Realm should also be a world under the Heavenly Court’s jurisdiction.
The Heavenly Court had ruled since the Primordial Era with virtually no mishaps, they had also continuously plundered all sorts of resources for eons.
Their overall strength should have been growing stronger and stronger, dealing with the Demon Race should have been an absolute breeze for them.
Furthermore, up until now, he hadn’t heard of the Heavenly Court dispatching any truly powerful combat forces.
