Hearing Zi Xuan’s words, although the citizens of the imperial capital were angry, they didn’t dare to openly go against High Heaven Pavilion.

Although they didn’t dare to resist on the surface, these people were discussing it in private.

“Is this really a demon? This is the first time I’ve seen a demon!” Someone questioned.

“Why doesn’t it look like it? How can a demon be so weak?!” Someone had already concluded.

“That’s right! Aren’t the demons sealed in the Demon Abyss? Why would he come here?”

“Could it be that… something happened to the seal of the Demon Abyss?” These words caused everyone present to fall silent.

If this child was really a demon, as the people from High Heaven Pavilion said, then it meant that there was indeed a problem with the seal of the Demon Abyss.

If that was the case… wouldn’t the day when the demons returned to the five continents be imminent?

The imperial capital would be the first place the demons inflicted revenge upon!

Thinking of this, everyone couldn’t help but panic.

Zi Xuan naturally saw the panic of those ignorant people and smiled mockingly.

She gently caressed the face of the man beside her with one hand and kissed it passionately before smiling in satisfaction.

How could these fools know that she had just infected an ordinary child with some demonic energy?

That day, when she and Hong Ling went to the mountain near the imperial capital, they actually happened to discover some exposed demonic energy.

They had searched for a long time but couldn’t find the source of the demonic energy. However, this demonic energy was just enough to intimidate these useless people in the imperial capital!

As Kong Rui looked at the boy, she thought about how to save him.

Zi Xuan was far stronger than her, so it was probably impossible for her to snatch him from her.

As Kong Rui was thinking, she suddenly realized that the boy had raised his head slightly to look at her.

Kong Rui was startled. She took a closer look and realized that the boy’s head was still lowered.

Had she been mistaken?

Or was she hallucinating?

Kong Rui frowned and thought for a long time, but she couldn’t think of anything.

Frowning, she pushed her way through the crowd and headed toward the Li family’s residence.

Even if she had to make a move, it wouldn’t be now.

She might be able to find a helper!

When Kong Rui returned to the courtyard, she saw Chao Bai sitting in the courtyard, staring at the sky in a daze.

“What are you doing?” Kong Rui asked curiously.

Chao Bai looked in a certain direction in the sky as he said in a cautious tone, “The atmosphere over there isn’t right.”

Kong Rui was stunned for a moment. She followed his gaze and realized that it seemed to be where the Li family’s ancestral hall was.

“What’s wrong over there?” Kong Rui looked for a long time but didn’t find anything unusual.

Chao Bai retracted his gaze and turned to look at Kong Rui. “This morning, I discovered that there was blood energy and… demonic energy there!”

“There’s demonic energy over there? How is that possible?” Kong Rui was shocked. She looked in that direction again, but she couldn’t see anything.

Chao Bai took Kong Rui’s hand. “It’s not safe here. Let’s go!”

Hearing Chao Bai’s words, Kong Rui immediately shook off his hand. “I’m not leaving! I still have things to do!”

Kong Rui thought for a moment and suddenly exclaimed, “Could it be that the boy today is related to this demonic energy?”

Hearing Kong Rui’s words, Chao Bai was instantly curious. “What boy?”

Kong Rui told Chao Bai everything she had seen at the entrance of the Fragrant Garden today. After Chao Bai listened to Kong Rui’s words, he didn’t say anything for a long time.

Kong Rui didn’t rush him. After all, he should be more familiar with the Demon Abyss than her.

After a long while, Chao Bai looked at Kong Rui. “Let’s go over there and see what’s going on!”

Kong Rui nodded and said, “Then that boy…”

Chao Bai said aloofly, “He has nothing to do with me.”

“But that boy isn’t a demon,” Kong Rui said. She felt that something was wrong and continued, “No matter what, we can’t let an innocent boy die like this!”

Chao Bai clearly had no sympathy. “I’m glad you’re okay.”

Kong Rui gritted her teeth. “No matter what, I’ll think of a way to save that child tonight!”

Chao Bai suddenly glared at Kong Rui, but Kong Rui pretended not to see it. “When are we going there to take a look first?”
