Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 4677: Back

His voice faltered, and a hint of hesitation flickered across his face. Then, as if he had made a firm decision, he gritted his teeth and said, “I truly didn’t want things to escalate this way. I never desired to become enemies with the Ghost Doctor, and I was unaware that they had dispatched him to our Demon Realm. We only discovered his arrival after he was already here. The higher-ups issued the order to eliminate you. The Demon Queen didn’t even consult me before capturing your two subordinates. I…”

Feng Jiu interjected, “I am already aware of that. What I want to know is about the individuals who seek my demise.”

“Those four are powerful entities hailing from the Upper Immortal Realm, also known as the Four Great Emperors. That is the extent of my knowledge. I know nothing further. After all, the Upper Immortal Realm is not a place we can easily access, so my understanding of it is very limited,” the Demon King explained, indicating his lack of further information.

The Four Great Emperors?

Feng Jiu’s eyes flashed subtly, and she remained silent for a moment before inquiring, “I observe that the Demon Realm is shielded by a barrier. Now that we wish to depart, do you possess a means to send us away?”

“Of course, I can assist with your departure.” Hearing her desire to leave, the Demon King felt a wave of relief wash over him. He dared not keep this harbinger of death within the Demon Realm any longer. Since she was willing to leave, he would naturally expedite her departure as swiftly as possible.

“Let’s proceed then! My airship is parked some distance away. Send us away, and we shall consider this matter concluded,” Feng Jiu stated slowly, her gaze sweeping over the surrounding demons.

Consequently, Feng Jiu led the Demon King, Du Fan, Leng Hua, and the others towards the location of the airship.

Upon reaching the airship, they were enveloped by pitch-black darkness, and a palpable demonic energy surged through the air. Dimly, specks of bright green light floated eerily in the surroundings. The masked man stood at the bow of the airship, with the three children positioned beside him. Leng Shuang also stood nearby, patiently awaiting the return of her Patriarch.

The surroundings were quiet, and not a single word was spoken by anyone aboard the airship. The Fire Phoenix perched silently on Mu Chen’s shoulder. The two Cloud Devouring beasts lay quietly to the side. Perhaps sensing the oppressive atmosphere, Yue’er gently tugged at the masked man’s robe.

Feeling the tug on his robe, he turned his head and looked down at the small child beside him. Seeing her delicate and cute little face, his eyes softened involuntarily, and he asked gently, “What is it?”

“Will something bad happen to my mother?” Yue’er asked, tilting her head upwards, her beautiful eyes filled with worry.

Hearing this, he smiled reassuringly and said, “No, with your mother’s strength, even if she were to encounter the ruler of the Demon Realm, she would undoubtedly defeat him overwhelmingly.”

“Then can we leave this place?” Yue’er asked again, her voice laced with hope.

“Don’t worry! With me here, everything will be alright. Besides, your mother is no pushover. Even if things get a little troublesome, we will definitely leave here safely in the end.” He gently rubbed Yue’er’s head and offered a comforting smile.

“Are the people who want to harm us very powerful? Can my mother not defeat them right now? You are so powerful, do you know where my father is at the moment? When will he come back?” Yue’er grabbed his hand that was resting on her head and asked a flurry of questions, her brow furrowed with concern.

“Don’t dwell on such thoughts too much, child. It is futile to ask these questions,” he replied softly, a faint, enigmatic smile playing on the corners of his lips as he chose not to answer her directly.

“Master has returned!” Cloud Devouring’s voice suddenly boomed, breaking the tense silence. He took two steps forward and looked towards the figures approaching from a short distance away. However, upon noticing the large demon following closely behind them, his posture remained guarded, his eyes narrowed with suspicion.
