Chapter 89: Deduction

It was a Bugatti Veyron. As the car door opened, Lan Lianshuang stepped out with a smile and asked, "So, what is this all about?"

Jiang Xiaofei quickly replied, "I need your help to divine someone's whereabouts."

"Who is it?" Lan Lianshuang asked with a slight frown.

Jiang Xiaofei immediately recounted the situation.

When he finished, Lan Lianshuang said happily, "If we can find Gao Muqiu this way, that would be wonderful. However, the art of divination requires the blood of a close relative as a guide."

Jiang Xiaofei nodded and looked at Su Feifei, saying, "Su Feifei, I need a drop of Wang Xiaokai's blood."

"What do you need Xiaokai's blood for?" Su Feifei asked.

Jiang Xiaofei replied at once, "We need his blood as a guide to find Old Wang's whereabouts."

"Alright, follow me," Su Feifei nodded immediately upon hearing they might find Old Wang, and ran toward the house across the street.

Jiang Xiaofei and Lan Lianshuang followed at once.

Inside, Jiang Xiaofei saw a boy of about seven or eight sleeping on the bed, his eyes red as if he had just been crying.

This boy was Wang Xiaokai, the son of Wang Dazui and Su Feifei.

Su Feifei walked to the bedside, gently bit Wang Xiaokai's finger, and let the fresh blood drip into a clean bowl.

Wang Xiaokai seemed to feel the pain and opened his eyes, "Mom, why did you bite my finger? It hurts."

"Be good, Xiaokai, it will stop hurting soon," Su Feifei comforted him while handing the bowl to Jiang Xiaofei.

Jiang Xiaofei took the bowl and immediately passed it to Lan Lianshuang.

Lan Lianshuang accepted it without hesitation and summoned the Frost Ice Shuttle.

Instantly, a bone-chilling cold filled the room, saturating the space.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Xiaofei said to Su Feifei, "Take Wang Xiaokai and leave the room for now. During the divination, there must be no disturbances."

Su Feifei, hearing this, carried Wang Xiaokai into a small room and closed the door.

Jiang Xiaofei then looked at Lan Lianshuang and said, "I will protect you this time, so what happened last time won't happen again."

Lan Lianshuang nodded, her eyes growing sharp as she poured the blood onto the Frost Ice Shuttle.

"Divine!"

As the blood was absorbed into the Frost Ice Shuttle, Lan Lianshuang formed a series of hand seals. Immediately, icy runes began to writhe on the shuttle.

A vast wave of energy spread outward. The Frost Ice Shuttle transformed, encompassing all things, as it began to divine Wang Dazui's location.

A blurry scene gradually appeared above the shuttle.

"Continue!" As Lan Lianshuang pressed forward with all her strength, the image became clearer.

Buzz!

The void quivered, and a vast, untamed mountain range emerged.

Jiang Xiaofei watched the vision intently.

The image moved through the forests, advancing deeper into the mountains.

The deeper it went, the more Jiang Xiaofei felt the air thick with demonic energy.

At last, the image sharpened.

It revealed a cavern, black as an abyss, hidden among ancient, dense woods—almost impossible to discover. Wisps of demonic energy curled out from its depths, accompanied by the faint sounds of ghostly wails and wolf howls.

Peering into the pit, it seemed a bottomless chasm.

Jiang Xiaofei frowned. "Can you divine what lies below?"

"I'll try my best," Lan Lianshuang replied, her eyes resolute as she strained to push the divination further.

The scene plunged downward. The deeper they went, the more skulls Jiang Xiaofei saw embedded in the walls—as if the very passage was built from skulls.

Even Jiang Xiaofei felt a chill run down his spine. How many skulls had been used to construct such a deep passage? The thought alone was terrifying.

Finally, the image stabilized at the bottom.

There, in a world of shadows, was what seemed to be an isolated realm. Piles of white skulls, like mountains, covered the ground, sending shudders through anyone who saw them.

Lan Lianshuang herself was stunned—so this was the legendary Demon Realm, far more terrifying than she had ever imagined.

Suddenly, a figure shrouded in black smoke appeared in the vision, its face a shriveled skull, and it let out a thunderous roar.

"Who dares to spy upon my Demon Realm? You court death!"

At once, a terrifying surge of dark demonic power burst from the image, shattering it.

In a flash, Jiang Xiaofei summoned Phoenix Trueflame to defend against the onslaught. At the same time, he mobilized the forces of black and white energy within him.

Under the burning of Phoenix Trueflame and the suppression of the dual energies, the demonic force was destroyed.

Lan Lianshuang frowned. "This power isn't very strong; it shouldn't be the Demon Emperor."

Jiang Xiaofei said, "Who cares? As long as we've found the place, that's all that matters."

Lan Lianshuang said gravely, "But the Demon Realm is powerful, with many strong opponents. If the two of us try to break in by force, we might not only fail to rescue him, but lose our own lives too."

Jiang Xiaofei smiled. "You don't need to worry about that. I've already made preparations."

"What preparations?" Lan Lianshuang asked with a slight frown.

Jiang Xiaofei replied, "I've already told Lin Ying about the Demon Emperor. Lin Ying has agreed to help us. Even if the Demon Realm has many people, we can still put up a fight."

"That's for the best," Lan Lianshuang nodded. "In that case, we should set out immediately."

"Wait a moment," Jiang Xiaofei said.

"Why wait? If we go too late, it might be too late to save him," Lan Lianshuang urged.

"I haven't notified Lin Ying yet," Jiang Xiaofei answered.

"Then hurry up!" Lan Lianshuang said anxiously.

Jiang Xiaofei nodded, took out his phone, and called Zhou Shiqin. Zhou Shiqin's voice came through at once: "Xiaofei, where have you gone?"

Jiang Xiaofei replied, "Don't ask. Notify Lin Ying immediately—tell him to meet me at Southwest Mountain."

"Have you found the Demon Emperor?" Zhou Shiqin asked.

"Yes," Jiang Xiaofei replied.

"Alright, I'll inform the Association President now," Zhou Shiqin said before hanging up.

Just then, Su Feifei emerged from the small room and asked, "Xiaofei, have you found Old Wang's whereabouts?"

Jiang Xiaofei nodded. "We found him."

Upon hearing this, Su Feifei was overjoyed. "Then let's go rescue Old Wang now!"

Jiang Xiaofei hesitated. "But, Su Feifei, you can't come."

"Why not?" Su Feifei asked anxiously.

"Because that place is extremely dangerous. If you come, I won't be able to protect you as well," Jiang Xiaofei said.

"Alright," Su Feifei nodded, "But you must bring Old Wang back safely, and I don't want anything to happen to you."

"Don't worry," Jiang Xiaofei nodded gently, then took Lan Lianshuang's hand. In a flash of light, the two vanished from the room.

Seeing this, Su Feifei began to pray. Although she had heard from Wang Dazui that Jiang Xiaofei was a cultivator, her heart was still filled with worry.
