The moment the demon god across from him announced his name—

Ye Yu nearly lost it on the spot.

Bai Tang?

What kind of normal person would use a name like that?

Still, he had indeed heard of the Enforcement Hall of the Extreme Moon Pavilion.

Its hall master was Cui Sheng.

The same Cui Sheng Ye Yu had schemed to death in the last dream.

But Ye Yu felt absolutely no guilt about it.

In the dream, his future father in law, the head of the Cui family, had been named Cui Baisheng.

And yet you, some abandoned junior from a branch family, dared to call yourself Cui Sheng?

If you didn't die, who would?

Of course, none of that was important right now.

The important thing was killing this demon god named Bai Tang before anything else.

Looking at the towering figure before him, Ye Yu had no intention of dodging.

Judging from the divine power radiating from Bai Tang’s body, he was undoubtedly at the late Ancient God Realm.

A Golden God fighting an Ancient God—

to outsiders, such a thing would seem utterly insane.

But to Ye Yu, it was perfectly normal.

The other side was only one major realm above him, and from the looks of it, Bai Tang intended to rely entirely on brute divine body strength to crush everything in his path.

Wasn’t that exactly Ye Yu’s comfort zone?

The advantage was his.

A direct clash it was!

Ye Yu charged forward head on.

With a single thought, countless purple demonic patterns suddenly emerged, wrapping around his entire body.

Immediately afterward, a colossal demon god phantom tens of thousands of feet tall appeared behind him.

It looked down upon all living beings like insignificant ants.

Most shocking of all—

the face of that demon god phantom was exactly the same as Ye Yu’s.

In that instant, Bai Tang felt an overwhelming pressure descend upon him.

It was as though the one standing before him was not a member of the God Clan at all—

but the ancient progenitor of demon gods.

As he threw out his punch, Bai Tang genuinely felt the urge to kneel and kowtow.

But how could a mortal who had ascended to godhood possibly use a demon god cultivation art?

An illusion.

This was all an illusion!

"Break for me!"

With a furious roar, Bai Tang accelerated once more, charging forward without hesitation.

At this point, he had no way out.

Whether the terrifying scene Ye Yu had created was real or fake, he could only fight with everything he had.

Boom!

The two fists collided violently.

Everything within ten thousand li shattered completely.

Mountains collapsed.

Rivers flowed backward.

When calm finally returned, Bai Tang was already kneeling on the ground.

His right arm hung limply at his side, and blood covered his entire body.

There was no doubt about it—

in terms of divine body strength, Ye Yu had utterly crushed him.

That single punch had not only shattered the meridians in Bai Tang’s right arm, but also inflicted severe internal injuries.

Such was the Ancient Demon Physique.

The strong only grew stronger.

Victory and defeat were determined in a single strike.

Using all his strength, Bai Tang raised his head and stared at the man before him.

His voice trembled.

"Who... who exactly are you?"

"Hello, Bai Tang. I’m coarse salt."

After messing with him for a moment, Ye Yu decided not to waste any more time and killed him on the spot.

Still, seeing how intact Bai Tang’s divine body remained, Ye Yu followed his principle of never wasting resources and immediately used Demon Conversion.

The next second, under the surging power of divine energy—

the demon blood scattered across the ground flowed back into Bai Tang’s body.

The fallen demon god slowly stood back up once more.

To be honest, an Ancient God Realm cultivator no longer counted as particularly impressive in Ye Yu’s eyes.

The main reason he had reconstructed Bai Tang was because he wanted to extract some useful information.

For example—

had Yang Guangxiao truly been telling the truth?

Ye Yu raised his hand and pressed it in the air before Bai Tang’s forehead, beginning to search through his memories.

After reviewing them, he instantly understood everything.

The course of events was basically the same as Yang Guangxiao had described.

It was Yang Guangxi who had taken the initiative to contact the Extreme Moon Pavilion.

Thus, Enforcement Hall Master Cui Sheng and Deputy Hall Master Bai Tang had personally brought people over.

At first, the two of them had suspected it was a trap set by the Lieyang Sect.

So they had remained vigilant the entire time.

But later, they discovered that Yang Guangxiao and Yang Guangxi had truly defected.

As for why Zhu Xincheng, the sect master of the Lieyang Sect, had never come to demand accountability—

they had no idea.

Two days earlier, Yang Guangxi had revealed the secret of the Divine Stone Mine’s hidden realm.

Cui Sheng immediately entered it together with him.

He even promised that if there were truly treasures within the secret realm, then the Yang brothers would be considered meritorious contributors.

Cui Sheng himself would personally request rewards for them.

But now, two full days had passed, and neither Cui Sheng nor Yang Guangxi had emerged from the secret realm.

Realizing something was wrong, Bai Tang began secretly following Yang Guangxiao.

And thus the current scene came to pass.

Ye Yu slowly shook his head.

Once Cui Sheng and Yang Guangxi entered the secret realm, they were doomed beyond doubt.

After all, Gao Zong’s title as the strongest Divine Sovereign had not been earned for nothing.

His entire reputation could be summed up in one phrase—

whoever went in died.

But the thing Ye Yu found most puzzling was still Zhu Xincheng’s disappearance.

How could such a huge living person simply vanish?

Filled with confusion, Ye Yu brought Bai Tang back to the Lieyang Sect.

He wanted to check on how Elder Ge was doing.

Judging by the timing, the old man should have already killed Pang Bobing by now, right?

Yet when he actually returned, what he saw was a desolate figure from behind.

It was the gloomy Elder Ge.

Communication stones were scattered all over the ground, shattered just like his mood.

Curious, Ye Yu called Xiao Cui over and asked what had happened.

She said she did not know either.

But from the fragmented pieces of conversation leaking out of the communication stones, she had gathered one thing.

Elder Ge had contacted a lot of people for help.

But those people were either dead or in secluded cultivation.

None of them had time to come.

And afterward—

the old man had become depressed.

Ye Yu nodded with a complicated expression.

Well, after tens of thousands of years had passed, countless things were bound to happen during such a long stretch of time.

The deaths of old friends were indeed a heavy blow.

But it was also unavoidable.

After all—

nothing was sharper than the blade of time.

Ye Yu took the initiative to walk over and softly said, "Enough. Stop calling people. I’ll help you kill Pang Bobing instead."

He was not joking.

Ye Yu had already thought it through carefully.

With Elder Ge using his divine artifact to restrain Pang Bobing, plus two Divine Lord Realm Demon Conversions assisting from the side—

and Ye Yu himself waiting for an opportunity to strike—

that lineup would absolutely kill Pang Bobing.

Elder Ge turned to glance at Ye Yu.

He also understood that this future son in law of his was no ordinary person and never spoke empty words.

Since Ye Yu dared say he could kill Pang Bobing, then he truly had the ability to do it.

So Elder Ge did not doubt him.

Instead, he worried that Ye Yu had ulterior motives.

"Kid, let’s make this clear in advance. It’s not like I absolutely need your help. Don’t use this matter later to force my daughter into being with you."

"I’ll only agree to your relationship after you truly turn over a new leaf and devote yourself to one person."

"Otherwise, don’t even think about my Xincheng!"

Ye Yu took a deep breath.

Honestly, that lecturing tone really did offend him a little.

So should he punch this old bastard or not?

After considering it several times, Ye Yu ultimately reached out and grabbed Elder Ge’s jaw shut.

Then he quickly explained Zhu Xincheng’s situation and asked whether the old man had any divine artifact capable of locating his daughter.

Because if not—

then the situation was truly becoming serious.
