Huo Ling’er froze, her tear-streaked face etched with fear. “Then… doesn’t that mean he’ll take refuge with the Evil Path Hall? He even said earlier he was heading to the Twelfth Heaven!”

“Nine times out of ten.”

Chen Ping nodded. The pain in his chest made him frown slightly. “An old demon like Soul Eater Venerable knows how to read the situation. He’s as cunning as a fox.”

“Under the pressure from the Earthfire Pavilion and me, there’s no place left for him in the Eleventh Heaven,” Chen Ping continued. “The Evil Path Hall is also part of the demonic path. It’s powerful and recruiting strong cultivators everywhere. For him, that’s the best option right now.”

The Red Cloud Demon Lord’s expression darkened. “A Soul Devourer who’s returned to the Immortal Realm, paired with the unfathomable Lord of the Evil Path Hall… If those two truly join forces, the consequences will be beyond imagination.”

Chen Ping took a deep breath, forcing down the chill caused by his turbulent qi and blood and the corrosive demonic flames. A flicker of resolve flashed in his eyes.

“We’ll deal with it when the time comes. Worrying now won’t change anything. Our priority is to get the earth-core chalcedony milk and heal our Dao companions. After that, we move to the Twelfth Heaven as fast as possible.”
