The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor responded with a smile, "There\'s no helping it. Becoming a Demon Emperor brings about a transformation, the original monster form is completely shed. It\'s somewhat like becoming a being resembling humans."

The Peacock Demon King seemed unperturbed by the other\'s boasting, gesturing with an inviting hand and saying, "Please."

"Hmm," the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor did not return the gesture but directly strode towards the City Lord Manor.

The clansmen behind the Peacock Demon King all showed anger on their faces.

In terms of status, although the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor was indeed a Great Demon Emperor, he was only an Elder of the Ancestor Court in Tianyu Empire, and each City Lord held an extremely high position, equal to that of an Elder. From the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor\'s demeanor, it was clear that he viewed the Peacock Demon King as a subordinate.

Both parties entered the City Lord Manor together. At this time, the heads of the major clans within Jiali City had already received the news. They too were shocked; the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had arrived too quickly. It was just in the morning that the meeting was held, and by the afternoon, he had already arrived.

In the City Lord Manor\'s hall, two main seats had been prepared. The Peacock Demon King invited the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor to take a seat together.

At the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor\'s side, the position next to him was occupied by the white-haired youth. Only then came the other powerhouses.

The Peacock Demon King\'s gaze landed on the white-haired youth as he said indifferently, "If I\'m not mistaken, this young man seems to be from the Heavenly Fox Clan?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor turned to glance at the white-haired youth and smiled, "Indeed, Yu Yiran, haven\'t you greeted the Peacock Demon King yet?" He seemed to deliberately omit a \'Great\' from the title.

The white-haired youth stood up, slightly bowed to the Peacock Demon King, and said, "Yu Yiran greets the Peacock Demon King. I come from the Heavenly Fox Clan."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was a hint of unrest among the nobles of Jiali City. Especially the few patriarchs who had witnessed the Peacock Demon King\'s blood oath, their expressions turned gloomy.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor naturally felt the change in their emotions and said, "Oh? Is there something wrong?"

First, the Peacock Demon King nodded in acknowledgment to Yu Yiran, then he said, "Recently, there have been frequent murders in Jiali City. Just this morning, the Flash Leopard King was assassinated, leading to some chaos in the city. I personally went to investigate the scene and discovered the presence of three types of auras – space, time, and luck."

"That\'s impossible," Yu Yiran blurted out almost instinctively, "There are none of my clan in Jiali City..." He stopped mid-sentence as he suddenly realized something and fell silent.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor glanced at him before turning to the Peacock Demon King of Jiali City, saying, "This indeed requires a thorough investigation."

The Peacock Demon King replied indifferently, "My clan excels in space power. The assassin who targeted the Flash Leopard King seems to resemble a collaboration between our clan and the Time Crocodile and Heavenly Fox Clans. It\'s quite peculiar. It has just happened this morning and we are still investigating."

At this moment, the leaders of the clans that had not been on the side of the Peacock Demon Clan – the Diamond Bear Clan, Flash Leopard Clan, Wind Wolf Tribe, Red Fox Tribe, and even the Blazing Demon Lion Tribe – all had dark expressions on their faces.

They were not on the side of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor either; no one wanted to bring trouble upon themselves.

In the Tianyu Empire, the races with the strongest bloodlines were the Dragon and Phoenix clans. However, the population of both clans was very sparse. There had always been a Great Demon Emperor among their kind, but with complex branches, it was possible that any branch could produce a Great Demon Emperor. Most Dragon and Phoenix clans had only a few members. Thus, a single Great Demon Emperor does not usually have too many vassals. Both the Dragon and Phoenix clans are proud, and there are very few races they consider worthy of their attention.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor had only risen in the past ten years and had only recently achieved the status of a Great Demon Emperor. As for its circumstances, the nobles of Jiali City only vaguely knew something about the conflicts between the previous generation of the Crystal Phoenix Great Demon King and the Peacock Demon King. They did not understand much about this Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor.

The number of clan members in the Heavenly Fox Clan was even scarcer, due to their control over luck and their transcendent status, second only to the Dragon and Phoenix clans. In Jiali City, no one had ever seen a member of the Heavenly Fox Clan.

This was too coincidental. Just as the Flash Leopard King had died at the hands of a killer likely from the Heavenly Fox Clan, a member of the Heavenly Fox Clan followed the Ancestral Court convoy to the city. What did this imply?

Given the prideful nature of the Heavenly Fox Clan, would they become mere assassins? Unless there was someone of even higher nobility ordering them, could that be a possibility?

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor said, "I have come here this time on the Ancestral Court\'s orders, mainly to thoroughly investigate the disappearance of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King\'s blood essence and the Ice Dragon Demon King\'s disappearance. The time frame given by the Ancestral Court is tight, and I hope Brother Wang will cooperate as much as possible to solve the case quickly."

The Peacock Demon King sighed and said, "Brother Xi Mo, this matter also gives me a great headache. I was not aware of the Ice Dragon Demon King\'s last visit. I only knew that the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King\'s blood essence had come here. However, after the auction ended, the bidder didn\'t even pay the transaction fee and forcibly took away the blood essence of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King and then disappeared. We have also been investigating this, as the transaction fee is quite a considerable expenditure. It was only later that we heard from the Ancestral Court that the blood essence of the Seven-colored Deer Great Demon King was brought here by the Ice Dragon Demon King himself for the auction, only for him to bid on it and take it back himself. This made me feel that something was fishy. I really don\'t understand why he would do this. We have tried our best to search for him, as we must have him explain himself to us. Yet, we have never found any trace of him."

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor\'s Yin Rou face showed an even thicker smile, "No worries. This time I brought a drop of the Dragon Emperor\'s blood essence, and with my divine consciousness to stimulate it, finding the whereabouts of the Ice Dragon Demon King should not be difficult. Everything will naturally come to light."

Upon hearing this, the Peacock Demon King\'s pupils slightly contracted.

In the mouth of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, the Dragon Emperor was the current ruler of the Ancestral Court, the Great Elder of the Ancestor Court. He was the strongest of the Ancestral Court, standing at the peak of Great Demon Emperors. His combat power was unmatched.

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, while speaking, had already stood up, and an invisible pressure burst forth from him.

"Hold on," suddenly, the Peacock Demon King spoke in a deep voice.

"Oh? Does Brother Wang have any objections?" asked the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, feigning ignorance.

The Peacock Demon King said, "This is the City Lord Manor of Jiali City, where my clan has resided for generations. The aura of the Dragon Emperor\'s blood essence is too powerful, and it may harm those present here. How about I accompany Brother Xi Mo to ascend and scout from above? What do you think?"

The Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor\'s eyes shimmered, and with a soft, smiling voice he said, "That would be wonderful indeed. This way we can cover a broader area in our search."

The Peacock Demon King extended his hand and said, "Please!"

Two flashes of light almost simultaneously flickered, and in the next instant, both figures vanished from the hall.

In the hall, the senior officials of Jiali City looked at each other, their expressions grave.

Among the many main cities, Jiali City had the weakest overall strength. The main reason was that the Peacock Demon King had not ascended to the position of a Demon Emperor, so not many strong races came to seek refuge.

Apart from the Peacock Demon King himself, the strongest among the other racial leaders was only at the God Level Demon King tier. Only within the Peacock Demon Clan were there two other Great Demon Kings, a result of many years of accumulation.

In some powerful main cities, with Great Demon Emperors in control, the number of Great Demon Kings under their command could even exceed ten, making them as strong as a forest with numerous strong races. Among the same tier of monsters, the strength varied greatly between different races.

The sudden arrival of the Crystal Phoenix Demon Emperor, coupled with the earlier death of the Flash Leopard King, made the senior figures of Jiali City feel a sense of danger to each and every one of them.
