61: The underworld? Isn't that where only the dead go?

As the Dragon Lord of Dragon Country, Xuan Yuanfeng naturally knew what the Demon Clan was.

In fact, last night he had already issued an order for Dragon Country to conduct a major cleanup operation against the Demon Clan's spies within Dragon Country.

Now, Yang Qian came to the Forbidden City to personally inform him that the territory of the Blazing Fire Monkey, which accounted for a significant portion of their Dragon Country, was very likely from the Demon Clan.

This news was akin to Mars colliding with Earth, a supernova explosion.

"How confident are you in this news?" Xuan Yuanfeng asked after a moment of contemplation, as this news was extremely important.

If it really came from Demon Hell, then they would have to be on guard.

One must know that, currently, within Dragon Country, the number of Blazing Fire Monkeys, at the very least, was in the tens of millions.

Once all these Blazing Fire Monkeys had problems, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"I'm not sure, it's just a guess."

If it was just a normal guess, and if the person was someone else, Xuan Yuanfeng naturally wouldn't pay attention.

However, the person telling him this was Yang Qian!

The wife of the Guardian of the Nation.

This identity made him have to consider it carefully.

"Understood, thank you for informing me. If anything is truly discovered, you will be the greatest contributor."

Yang Qian twisted her head and replied, "All of this is thanks to my son."

If it weren't for Yuan Hong revealing the truth about his ancestral land, this secret would truly not be known.

However, all of this was just speculation. To know the truth, they would probably have to go to Demon Hell.

Alternatively, they could conduct in-depth research on the Blazing Fire Monkeys.

Coincidentally, Yang Qian had extremely in-depth research in this area, so she planned to thoroughly study some Blazing Fire Monkeys in the near future.

"Li Yao?"

"Could it be that he discovered this secret?"

"Hmm, pretty much, anyway, it's related to my son."

"Alright, I've already told you the news. Whether you believe it or not is up to you. I'm going back to research the Blazing Fire Monkeys first."

As Yang Qian was about to leave, Xuan Yuanfeng suddenly spoke, "Yang Qian, where is Li Zun now?"

Xuan Yuanfeng was planning to discuss some matters with Li Zun, but he couldn't contact Li Zun now.

Ever since Li Zun went into seclusion eighteen years ago, he hadn't been able to contact him.

"Old Li?"

"He's probably in the Netherworld now."

"Wait!" Xuan Yuanfeng instinctively slapped his Dragon Throne after hearing this.

Li Zun in the Netherworld?

Isn't the Netherworld a place only for the dead?

So, does that mean Li Zun is...

"Yang Qian, is Li Zun already..."

If this news was true, then the Human Race would be in danger.

Ninety-nine percent of the reason they could rank among the top ten races in the Universe was because of Li Zun.

If it weren't for Li Zun's deterrence, the Human Race, with only a hundred years of development, simply couldn't compare to those races in the Universe that had developed for thousands of years.

If he truly had an accident, the Human Race would be in peril.

If something really happened, then the Human Race's last hope would have to be placed on Li Yao.

After all, Li Yao had inherited Li Zun's talent. If they could find a Radiant-level, or even Mythic-grade, beast for Li Yao.

Perhaps their Human Race could still be saved.

But, they might be able to obtain Radiant-level beasts, but Mythic-grade, was that even possible?

"Old Li left yesterday. What, are you looking for him for something?"

"If you have something, I'll contact him later and have him come find you?"

Yang Qian looked at Xuan Yuanfeng's serious and nervous expression, clearly thinking that Xuan Yuanfeng had something to discuss with Li Zun.

Regarding these serious matters, Yang Qian naturally wouldn't inquire. She would know what she needed to know and wouldn't bother with what she didn't.

All she had to do was share the burden with Li Zun.

Like a chicken marrying a chicken, or a dog marrying a dog, since she had married Li Zun, she could naturally be considered a Human Race member.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be so concerned about the Blazing Fire Monkey matter.

Xuan Yuanfeng: ???

No, can people who die and go to the Netherworld come back?

Xuan Yuanfeng instinctively shivered.

His mind was fantasizing.

Late at night, in the dead of night, with a dark moon and strong winds.

While he was sleeping, Li Zun quietly slipped into his bed and told him "Surprise."

Thinking of this, Xuan Yuanfeng immediately retorted, "It's better not to let him come find me."

"I'm old, and I can't take it a bit."

"But he left last night? Could it be because..."

What was the situation last night?

Naturally, it was the invasion of the Pride Monarch, the appearance of Li Zun's Nine Nether Phoenix, and it scared away the Pride Monarch.

His Bone Dragon head was still in the research institute in Jianghai City, ready to be sliced and studied at any time.

Although a bone slice couldn't do much.

"Hmm? I always feel like you're thinking of something bad."

Although the Three-Eyed Race could see through a person's essence, they couldn't guess their inner thoughts.

So, she didn't know what Xuan Yuanfeng was thinking.

"Cough, cough, why didn't you discuss such a big matter with us?"

"Big? Old Li just went to the Netherworld, he'll probably be back soon."

"And collecting some Materials, what's the big deal?"

Although the Netherworld was dangerous, one could still return if they acted cautiously.

Xuan Yuanfeng was stunned this time. He went to the Netherworld, not to the Netherworld.

Xuan Yuanfeng finally breathed a sigh of relief; he was truly scared to death.

No wonder Yang Qian didn't look sad at all.

If her husband had truly died, she would have been crying uncontrollably long ago.

"I misunderstood. If Li Zun comes back, can you ask him to come over?"

"I have something to discuss with him."

"Alright, I'll tell Old Li when he comes back."

"If there's nothing else, then I'll leave."

"I always feel that the Blazing Fire Monkey matter is very strange."

After Yang Qian shook her head and said goodbye, only Xuan Yuanfeng was left in the Forbidden City.

Xuan Yuanfeng looked at Yang Qian's disappearing back and carefully considered what she had said today.

"Someone."

At his command, several Dragon Guards dressed in black robes with dragon patterns appeared in the main hall.

"Dragon Lord!"

"Hmm, you go and inform those guys below to thoroughly investigate the Blazing Fire Monkey matter."

"If anything unusual is found with the Blazing Fire Monkeys, it must be reported immediately."

"Yes! Dragon Lord!"

With that, the Dragon Guards began to disappear, carrying Xuan Yuanfeng's message.

As the ruler of a country, few dared to disobey his orders.

Yaodu.

This was the most developed city in the southern region.

To test Yuan Hong's strength, Li Yao specifically went to Yaodu.

After all, there was a Heaven-Grade Secret Realm here, the Nanshan Secret Realm. Qingqiu Mountain.
