After coming down the mountain, I was pampered by two emperors!

After leaving the underworld, the three of them walked in the direction pointed by Hei Wuchang. The weather was very bad with wind and sand all the way.

The Demon City was some distance away from Fengcheng. According to the speed of the three of them, it took them more than half a day to arrive. This place was deserted and the ground was covered with yellow sand. A gust of wind blew past and the three of them could not open their eyes.

"Mei Xichen, what place is this? Why is it so weird?" Shu Rong covered his eyes with his sleeves, while holding Long Jiaojiao with his left hand for fear of losing her. At this time, Mei Xichen was walking in front, and he was also feeling suspicious.

"It should be correct. Think about Shurong, Demon City. Just hearing this place sounds scary. How could it be a good place with beautiful environment and fertile soil? Let's move forward. Remember, the three of us cannot separate."

"Okay, I'll listen to you this time." Shu Rong held Long Jiaojiao's hand and followed closely behind Mei Xichen.

About an incense stick of time passed, and the three of them passed through the yellow sand area and came to an open place. Not far away, there was a stone tablet with the words "Devil's Castle" written on it.

Mei Xichen slowly stopped and gestured to Shu Rong, and then the three of them quickly hid behind a small hill.

"Shurong, do you see that the Devil's Castle is in front of us? We have to be careful not to let the things inside discover us." Mei Xichen warned carefully.

"Then how can we avoid being discovered? Will invisibility work?" Shu Rong's eyes lit up, and he felt that he had come up with a good idea.

"Shu Rong, it sounds like Chi Heng has a higher level of cultivation than Tu Yu, so any tricks will not escape his eyes and are useless." Long Jiaojiao hurriedly explained to Shu Rong.

"Also, Shurong, with your current martial arts skills, I'm afraid you can't stay here for too long. Why don't you wait here while Xichen and I go in? What do you think?" Long Jiaojiao continued.

"No, there are three of us here. How can you let me wait here alone? At least I can still block the magic power, so I'm not completely useless, right?" Shu Rong looked at Long Jiaojiao and then at Mei Xichen. His eyes seemed to be begging Long Jiaojiao not to abandon him.

"Long'er, take him with you. One more person means more strength. Besides, he may not be safe here alone." Mei Xichen said after thinking for a moment.

"Well, Shurong, you have to stay close to me and Xichen. If there is any danger, just run away first. Do you understand?"

"You tell me this every time, and I can memorize it." Shu Rong said with a grin.

"But Xichen, do you really want to take this risk for me? If I give the inner elixir to the King of Hell, I will be the only one who will be beaten back to my original form, but..."

Long Jiaojiao looked very melancholy. She didn't know if it was right to bring Mei Xichen and Shu Rong here. She didn't dare to imagine what she would do if things didn't go as smoothly as expected. She didn't dare to think about it any further.

"Long'er, Xichen and I know what you are thinking, but don't worry, we will definitely defeat Chi Heng. Moreover, if you are not here, what is the meaning of us living in this world? Although I get annoyed when I see Mei Xichen, I also hope that the three of us can be together in the future."

"Shu Rong is right. After we succeed this time, let's find a place to live together. We can watch the sunrise together, go fishing together, and enjoy the snow scenery together, okay?" Mei Xichen took over Shu Rong's words and continued to comfort Long Jiaojiao.

"Okay then, let's work together." After saying that, Long Jiaojiao stretched out her hands first, and then the three of them folded their hands tightly together.

The three of them walked out from behind the small hill and headed towards the boundary marker.

"Why is this place like a deserted town with no one around?" Shu Rong was a little curious. He looked around but didn't see any living creatures.

"Didn't Hei Wuchang say that all the ghosts in here are about to be reincarnated, so they should only come out at night. Although this demon city is no longer the mortal world, it seems that they also have day and night here. Now it's daytime, so they shouldn't be outside."

"Let's find Chi Heng's location first, and then we'll hide."

"We must not expose ourselves without fully understanding them." Long Jiaojiao observed the surrounding environment with great vigilance, as if she wanted to write down every street and room they passed by.

"Look, this demon city doesn't seem to be very big. We walked around here for about an hour and it's not even as big as my Jingyang Palace."

Mei Xichen roughly estimated the time and then pointed to the most luxurious palace in the middle and said, "I guess the palace we just passed by should be where Chi Heng is."

"The rest of the low houses should be where the little ghosts live. When I passed the palace just now, I found a large open space inside. That should be where they offer sacrifices or perform rituals." Shu Rong continued to add.

"Now that we have a general understanding of the environment here, it should still be early. Let's go to the palace and investigate carefully to see if we can find anything. We want to know what kind of person or animal Chi Heng is." Mei Xichen thought for a moment and then said to Long Jiaojiao and Shu Rong.

"Okay, let's go take a look, but we must find a safe place to hide before dark, remember." Long Jiaojiao repeatedly reminded Mei and Shu who were standing beside her.

The three of them came to the palace again.

The door was not locked, and Mei Xichen pushed it open easily. The people living here didn't seem to mind other people breaking in. The door was so shabby that one could see inside directly from the outside.

Mei Xichen led the way in front, and Long Jiaojiao followed behind holding Shu Rong's hand.

"Long'er, look, that's the place I saw just now." Shu Rong pointed to the open space and said.

"Look, there are shelves, a brazier and a long table in that empty space. I remember that Rong Ruo was also placed on such a long table, so... am I right, Long'er?" Shu Rong looked at Long Jiaojiao and shook her wrist and said.

"Shurong, you are quite good at drawing inferences. Yes, this is a place for sacrifice." Long Jiaojiao confirmed Shurong's guess and looked at him and smiled.

"Long'er, you guys look outside, I'll go in and take a look." After saying hello to Long Jiaojiao, Mei Xichen walked into the palace alone.

"Be careful, Xichen."

"Shu Rong, I think we should find a secluded place to hide. After all, I want to see what happens in this palace every day. Only when we know who Chi Heng is and what he wants to do, can we start to deal with him."

After saying that, Long Jiaojiao pulled Shu Rong aside and the two of them looked for a place that could cover the three of them.

After a while, Shu Rong found a big locust tree near the wall on the left side of the sacrificial field. The locust tree had lush branches and leaves and thick roots. After Shu Rong jumped up, he found that the middle of the locust tree could accommodate three people sitting on it, and there were just enough branches and leaves to block the three of them. And it was just right to see everything that happened at the sacrificial site.

"Long'er." Shu Rong called quietly and motioned Long Jiaojiao to go up.

At this time, when Long Jiaojiao heard Shu Rong calling her, she looked up and flew towards Shu Rong.
