Inside the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons.
Donghuang Taiyi stood silently, his eyes closed in meditation.
Though he remained still, an intangible aura enveloped him.
Under the sway of this aura,
he appeared sacred and inviolable, like a divine residence.
Clack...
The heavy doors of the Palace of Ten Thousand Demons were suddenly pushed open.
Ji Meng entered with a troubled look on his face.
Upon entering, Ji Meng knelt on one knee, uttering not a word.
"Escaped by the Demon Master?"
Donghuang Taiyi seemed hardly surprised.
He simply opened his eyes slightly and gazed at Ji Meng, speaking indifferently.
"Demon Emperor, I..."
Ji Meng wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't bring himself to speak.
"No need to say more, I had anticipated this. Although you are strong, you are far from the Demon Master in wisdom. That he could escape was also predicted by this emperor."
