After breaking up with my girlfriend, I became a Great Sage of the Demon Clan.

"Now that you've returned from Mount Ling, are you planning to settle the matter at the Southern Heavenly Gate?"

Zhou Yan gave a low "hmm".

Zhou Yan currently does not know what means Su Zhaojun possesses that could kill him, but he will definitely have to go to Nantianmen.

However, Zhou Yan was quite tired during this period, so he planned to rest in Luomen City for a while before going there.

Chapter Six: Goodbye

Two days later, things were calm and peaceful.

"The plane has landed at A13 airport, and the outside temperature is 36 degrees Celsius."

"The aircraft is undergoing spatial orientation calibration. For your safety and the safety of others, please do not stand up or open the overhead bins. Once the aircraft has come to a complete stop, please unfasten your seatbelt and gather your carry-on items to prepare for disembarkation."

In first class, Zhou Yan tilted his head and looked at the scenery falling outside the window. Next to him, Xiao Yanjun was eating a preserved plum, with his feet propped up on the seat and his other hand constantly scrolling through his phone.

Zhou Yan occasionally glanced at what Xiao Yanjun was reading and saw that it was an 18+ novel written by Wenquxing.

That's right, Wenquxing is currently writing short articles because it's a convenient way to hook up with girls. The problem is, not only is he writing, but he's also writing very well. Zhou Yan stayed up all night reading them yesterday, and only put down his phone when he felt like throwing up.

"...8. Please be careful when retrieving items from the overhead bins. Please collect your land-delivered baggage from the baggage claim area. Passengers transferring flights at this station should proceed to the transfer counter in the departure lounge..."

Zhou Yan sighed.

Zhou Yan originally planned to rest in Dongyang Prefecture for a week before sneaking off to Nantianmen to see Su Zhaojun. However, he had only been resting in his bedroom for a short time when Jiufeng Chu Daoyun and Shenlong Alu arrived.

The two women arrived while arguing and fighting.

Unable to bear the noise from the two women, Zhou Yan seized an opportunity to escape by plane before they arrived. During this time, Xiao Yanjun, seeing that it was unsafe for Zhou Yan to go to Nantianmen, volunteered to come along.

Zhou Yan did not refuse.

In fact, Zhou Yan's legs were faster than the plane, but he didn't want to get to Nantianmen so quickly, so he let the plane fly slowly for a day, and now they have arrived.

After flying for a while, the plane stopped on a tarmac. Zhou Yan got off the plane, and Xiao Yanjun followed.

There were many Awakened Ones coming and going around the airport. They were all in a hurry, coming and going quickly, and no one cared who the people next to them were or what they wanted to do.

After leaving the airport and descending the mountain, it's a short walk of several dozen kilometers to reach the Kunlun Immortal Palace suspended in the air.

Upon arriving at this place, Little Yama couldn't help but look up and ask.

“I’ve been here before, and I’ve even gone quite deep into the area.”

Countless thunderbolts and celestial fires, fierce winds and murderous intent flashed through Little Yama's mind. Back then, Little Yama, who was only the god of Qin Guang, was invincible in the mortal world, but here he was like a dog being chased around.

In this forbidden zone of humanity, apart from the Abyss 5 Underworld, which is Little Yama's hometown, the other three places are ruthless enough that even with the current status of the Central Ghost Emperor, Little Yama is somewhat terrified.

"Then I almost didn't come back, and from then on I decided that I would never come back unless absolutely necessary."

Zhou Yan looked at Little Yama, who asked in return.

Do you think your safety isn't essential to me?

Zhou Yan felt a slight touch of emotion.

Brother Yan, this little girl is a good match!

Zhou Yan stepped upwards step by step until he reached the entrance of Kunlun Immortal Palace. At the entrance, Zhou Yan cast concealment buffs on himself, such as aura concealment and low presence.

After doing all this, Zhou Yan entered the South Heavenly Gate.

The Power of Extreme Vision cannot be used here. Other deities seem to be able to sense the operation of this supernatural power. Last time, Zhou Yan was discovered by the local deities because he used Extreme Vision at the South Heavenly Gate, and was then chased and killed. This time, Zhou Yan learned his lesson and concealed his aura, finding a small path that no one had ever walked on before and plunging into it.

The South Heavenly Gate remains the same as before, half ruins and half intact buildings.

Little Yama followed behind Zhou Yan, talking as they walked.

“I used to be heading down that road.”

Little Yama pointed to a pile of ruins three kilometers away.

"There are dozens of palaces in that place, and some people have even seen auspicious clouds flying out of some of the largest palaces."

Little Yama changed his tone.

"But even in such a place where auspicious clouds drifted by, those who dared to go there not only failed to find anything good, but also lost their lives."

Zhou Yan glanced at the spot Little Yama was pointing to, then shook his head.

"I would have been half-dead if I had gone to that place."

The four demon generals are stationed there. They won't come out to fight, but there are powerful restrictions stored around them. If Zhou Yan hadn't had the Thunder Essence as a safety net, he would probably have been blown half to pieces.

In reality, normal Awakened Ones are like ants in the South Heavenly Gate. Given the strength of the South Heavenly Gate's restrictions, these Awakened Ones can only carry a few grains of rice out of the rice jar. As for more powerful artifacts and treasures, they are impossible to take out.

Therefore, there are still many treasures at Nantianmen. Of course, Zhou Yan and Xiao Yanjun did not come here to look for treasures.

"Brother Yan..."

Zhou Yan touched his bald chin.

"Where do you think I would have placed Su Zhaojun in the past?"

Zhou Yan didn't know where Su Zhaojun was, and Su Zhaojun's mother, Su Yue, didn't know where Bai Ze had taken her daughter. All she knew was that Su Zhaojun was still alive, and she hoped that Zhou Yan would go see her daughter and bring her back.

Zhou Yan had thought about it when he came, but he couldn't figure it out.

Little Yama looked around, pondered for a moment, and then spoke.

"I actually thought about this question when I came here. The answer depends on the situation at the time; there will be different answers, for example..."

Little Yama looked towards the depths of the South Heavenly Gate.

“The South Heavenly Gate is connected to the Jade Emperor’s Lingxiao Palace. If Bai Ze really did save Su Bijun back then, it would definitely be safer to be closer to the Lingxiao Palace.”

周衍8点头，确5实是这个7道理，当初自6己去找鹊桥6仙，这只舔3鸟临死还把自4己推到了4天庭，为2的不就是希望西王母这样的大佬出手搭救吗？

If I had truly intended to save Su Zhaojun, then approaching the Jade Emperor would have been the most appropriate course of action.

Little Yama continued.

"However, judging from Bai Ze's own demise, he probably already knew that he couldn't survive this tribulation. So he may have died on the way to the Lingxiao Palace, or he may have found a very pleasant place to wait for his next life to come and find him."

Little Yama walked to Zhou Yan's side and nudged Zhou Yan's side with his elbow.

"For example, places where you can be surrounded and tortured to the point of no return."

Zhou Yan's expression was solemn.

Indeed, given Bai Ze's playful nature, Zhou Yan was afraid that Bai Ze had placed his burial site in the palace where the remains of dozens of gods were hidden, and that he would definitely be surrounded and beaten by the gods' remains if he went in.

This time, Nuwa stripped him of his earthen spirit. If he were to go to Houtu Niangniang again, Zhou Yan was really afraid that he would not only fail to please Houtu Niangniang, but also offend Nuwa.

Therefore, we must plan for the long term.

Make sure you don't fall into Bai Ze's trap!

"In short..."

Zhou Yan's gaze pierced through the surrounding air, plants, and buildings—some collapsed, some partially collapsed, and some still standing—deep into the heart of Nantianmen.

"Let's look deeper in."

The most likely scenario is that Bai Ze hid Su Zhaojun deep within the Southern Heavenly Gate.

"Ok?"

Little Yama suddenly laughed.

“Xiao Yan…I saw people from Indiana.”

When Little Yama arrived, he summoned many ghosts and spirits to wander around. Most of these ghosts and spirits were crushed to dust in the vibrant immortal energy of the South Heavenly Gate, but many still managed to sneak into different places to deliver information and intelligence to Little Yama.

Zhou Yan stopped, then sped off again.

"None of our business."

Zhou Yan knew that Su Bijun could only become a fairly powerful demigod because she lacked a divine status. In order to expand its influence, the Miro Cult of Indian Continent constantly sent a large number of people to Kunlun Immortal Palace to search for the divine status of Xin Yuehu. Therefore, it was quite normal to see people from Indian Continent in Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Zhou Yan would only feel something was amiss if he didn't see anyone from Indiana at Kunlun Immortal Palace one day.

Little Yama's lips curled slightly.

"It wasn't just people from Indiana, I also saw a lot of your acquaintances, Xiao Yan."

"For example, Bai Lin from the First Academy, the Long-Armed Ape."

Zhou Yan became quite smug.

"Have these two not graduated yet?"

Three years have passed since Zhou Yan first witnessed the Four Schools Competition. He has grown from 17 to 20 years old and has not participated in the competition once since. The reason is that it would be too bullying for Bai Ze to participate.

Even though Bai Ze isn't a divine beast with outstanding combat power, bullying demigods is as easy as playing around.

As for the two demigods, the Long-Armed Ape and the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, they are still honing their skills in the Kunlun Immortal Palace. Presumably, they are still competing in the Four Schools Competition. No matter how well they perform in the Four Schools Competition, they are just hovering around in the Four Schools Competition and haven't even jumped out.

Little Yama continued.

"Oh ho... Besides these two monkeys, there are some students from White Tiger Academy and some students from Black Tortoise Academy. Oh ho, I also saw Mu Yuan. Isn't that guy a state legislator in his own state? He's here too. Does he want something from this place?"

Mu Yuan's illusion was clearly combined with the true map of hell. Little Yama thought Mu Yuan would spend his whole life wandering around the abyss and underworld, instead of coming to forbidden areas like Kunlun Immortal Palace.

Zhou Yan countered with a question.

"Isn't it normal for students from the four major academies to hone their skills in the forbidden zone of humanity? Mu Yuan is probably just here to increase his own awakening level."

In these forbidden areas for humans, if you don't see a single student from the four schools, it can only mean that the four-school competition has started. At other times, teams of students from the four schools will definitely be going back and forth slaying various monsters and ghosts, and it's not surprising that a few students die during that time.

If the forbidden zones for humans weren't dangerous, elite students from the four major academies would never come here for training.

"Xiao Yan?"

A familiar voice came from the side.

Zhou Yan stopped in his tracks, turned around, and saw a familiar face appear.

Lin'an is like...

This girl, who was Zhou Yan's senior, stood covered in blood at a street corner not far away, staring at Zhou Yan in astonishment.

Zhou Yan suppressed his aura and presence, but Lin Anru still managed to smell his scent from afar and followed him.

Chapter Seven: Indistinguishable

"Senior Lin?"

Zhou Yan looked at Lin Anru, who was covered in blood, in surprise.

What are you doing at Kunlun Heavenly Palace?

For awakened individuals like Lin'an, grinding various monsters and dungeons in places like the Ten Thousand Miao Mountains is more suitable. Other places like Kunlun Immortal Palace and the Abyss Underworld are not as compatible.

Lin Anru, walking in the distance, wiped the blood off her face, her clothes covered in blood, though the blood on her face was clean. She spoke as she walked. Eight

"I want a powerful immortal technique to protect myself, so I came to Kunlun Immortal Palace to try my luck. Little Yan, it's you I'm looking for."

Lin Anru walked up to Zhou Yan in a few steps. Zhou Yan frowned slightly. The smell of blood on Lin Anru was too strong, so strong it was pungent.

"Senior, are you... injured?"

Lin An said nonchalantly.

"It's just a minor injury."

Evil water gushed out from Lin Anru's side, enveloping the bloodstains and blackened bloodstains on Lin Anru's body, and a large amount of bloody liquid appeared beside Lin Anru.

The smell of blood has decreased significantly.

Lin Anru, who had walked up to Zhou Yan, glanced at Little Yama, who had his hands raised high.

"I'm just a lost kid. You don't need to worry about me. Do whatever you want."

Lin Anru withdrew her gaze.

"Xiao Yan, what brings you to Kunlun Immortal Palace?"

Lin An smiled.

"Perhaps I can help you."

After a pause, Lin Anru muttered softly.

"Although it may not be of much help."

Bai Ze's downside is that, aside from strength, he doesn't need anyone's help with intelligence, yet Zhou Yan can kill two Lin Anru with one hand.
