"Peacock, you've been in charge of the demon race for some time now, so you should also command its vast intelligence network. I wonder if you also have any news regarding Chen'er, Yi Wu, and the Goddess. They entered the Ancient Emperor Continent many years ago, and several years earlier, Yaya and Ruoxi also entered the Ancient Emperor Continent."
Before his sworn brother, Ye Chen got straight to the point, voicing his most important question.
One of the main purposes of coming to this demon race stronghold was also to hope to use the demon race's immense intelligence network to learn about the whereabouts of his beloved women.
The primary goal of entering the Ancient Emperor Realm was to reunite with these closest people. Even the so-called supreme inheritance paled in importance compared to them in Ye Chen's heart.
But relying on him alone, who had no foundation whatsoever on the Ancient Emperor Continent, it would be difficult to obtain truly useful information.
Moreover, even if he did get related intelligence, verifying its authenticity would be challenging. Only a dominant power like the demon race, one of the overlords of the Ancient Emperor Continent, could more accurately learn of their whereabouts.
Hearing this, the Peacock King showed little surprise, clearly already aware of their arrival. He said seriously, "That's right. Yi Wu, Chen'er, and Zhao Jingruo are all on the Ancient Emperor Continent. In fact, I learned about it and even met them as early as ten years ago. As for Yaya and Ruoxi, I'm not too sure, but I do have some related intelligence."
The Peacock King mentioned that the demon race's intelligence network was vast, even spreading across the expansive human domains.
Over the years, if not for the incident of exiling the Tongxuan King, the relationship between the two races had even eased considerably. The demon race had entered many human regions, hence their intelligence network was extensive enough to gather much information.
Especially figures like Chen'er, Zhao Jingruo, and Yi Wu, these three beloved women, each was stunningly beautiful like celestial beings, peerless in the world. Wherever they went, they attracted the attention of all, once regarded as the three Goddesses descended from the Nine Heavens.
On the Ancient Emperor Continent, the three of them had countless pursuers, whether they were the outstanding prodigies of the younger generation, the rulers of the thirty-six empires and seventy-two ancient kingdoms, or even among the supreme powerhouses.
Most notably, even within those three supreme forces—Tai Sheng Shang Gong, the Nightfall Hall, and the Sun God Dynasty—they all had distinguished pursuers.
After all, women like Chen'er, Yi Wu, and Zhao Jingruo were not only breathtakingly beautiful but also possessed astonishing cultivation talent. Each had the potential to rival an Immortal True King and possessed unique charm, naturally making them the ideal Dao companion in the eyes of countless people.
"Qian Yue, do you feel the pressure now?" the Peacock King teased.
Ye Chen chuckled. He did feel some pressure, as these beloved wives of his were so charming and beautiful, attracting many pursuers, which meant he had many more love rivals out of nowhere.
However, he naturally had no fear. He firmly believed that his beloved women's hearts belonged to him. And no matter how powerful the love rivals were, he would defeat them all, fearing nothing.
"What a bunch of unlucky fellows," the Peacock King shook his head helplessly. If those so-called pursuers and love rivals encountered a monster like Ye Chen, he himself would want to bang his head against a wall and die.
They simply couldn't compare. It was like a flickering firefly trying to compete with the bright moon—utterly insignificant.
"Where are they now?" Ye Chen felt an urgent impulse to see them again.
Looking back, decades had passed since their parting, separated for a lifetime. How many sighs and lamentations filled his heart, along with an impulse to urgently reunite with these beloved confidantes.
"You really are crazy missing your lovers," the Peacock King said helplessly. "According to intelligence I received a few months ago, they are all in the Tai Sheng Shang Gong at the very center of the human domains."
Hearing this, Ye Chen's expression turned slightly grave. Tai Sheng Shang Gong held a transcendent status on the Ancient Emperor Continent, akin to the Ancient Divine Palace on the Ancient Divine Continent—lofty and supreme, an ultimate force that secretly dictated the rise and fall of the Ancient Emperor Continent.
Even the demon race and the beast race, which occupied vast territories on the Ancient Emperor Continent, were actually under a certain degree of control by the Tai Sheng Shang Gong in the shadows. It was an extremely vast and terrifying ancient power.
Far more powerful than the Ancient Divine Palace.
"The Tai Sheng Shang Gong is a fearsome force. You must never underestimate it."
When mentioning this force, even the Peacock King's expression grew many times more serious. "Based on some understanding, the Tai Sheng Shang Gong is likely related to the ancient Great Emperor Tai Sheng Huang. Moreover, even the mysterious Divine Realm seems to have shadows of the Tai Sheng Shang Gong within it."
The Tai Sheng Shang Gong appeared increasingly mysterious and unfathomable, which also made him somewhat worried about Chen'er and the others' current situation.
The Peacock King patted his shoulder. "Regarding them, you don't need to worry too much. Although the Tai Sheng Shang Gong is mysterious, it doesn't have a bad reputation. Moreover, Yi Wu, Chen'er, and Zhao Jingruo are not only extraordinary in cultivation but also not ones to be trifled with. Don't forget the forces behind them."
Yi Wu was a lone wanderer, never joining any force, but to some extent, she belonged to the Heavenly Gate.
Chen'er belonged to the Yao Chi Sacred Land. The origins of Yao Chi were astonishing, tracing back to the Mythical Era. It was even rumored to be an immortal supreme sacred land founded by the Yao Chi Holy Mother, the Dao companion of the most ancient Heavenly Emperor, with ancient Great Sages overseeing it.
Chen'er was especially doted upon by the Yao Chi Sacred Land, and she likely possessed protective treasures bestowed by that Great Sage.
As for Zhao Jingruo, the female Saint Lord of the Tai Chu Sacred Land and Yaya's mother, she naturally had secret treasures on her person, benefiting from the ancestor Tai Chu's favor.
Thinking of this, Ye Chen also breathed a slight sigh of relief. Now, imperceptibly, he realized that his beloved wives were indeed not ones to be trifled with.
At this moment, a Memory Jade appeared in the Peacock King's hand. After checking it, his expression suddenly turned very strange.
"What's wrong?" Ye Chen asked.
The Peacock King gave Ye Chen a strange look. "Now there's a piece of news, I don't know whether to call it good or bad, regarding those three. Do you want to know?"
"Tell me."
"The good news is, those three should already know of your arrival. Congratulations," the Peacock King said, cupping his fists in congratulations, though it somehow looked like he was gloating.
Ye Chen didn't doubt that the three women knew of his arrival. After all, 'Qian' was a name he had used in his previous life, and after the events of the Hundred Battles Mountain Range, he had become famous throughout the world. It was only natural they would know. But what did the Peacock King's gloating smile mean?
"And the bad news?"
"The bad news is—" the Peacock King chuckled, "they are going to hold a martial arts competition to choose a husband in three months, at the central region of the human domains."
