?!
The Empress, upon hearing this, felt a sudden jolt in her heart.
Indeed, that extremely high-level Demon Energy is from the Demon Lord!
And using Chu Heng as bait, the intention is obvious, it's to lure Chen Mo in!
"So, you really clashed with the Demon Lord? How did you escape then?" the Empress asked, puzzled. The Demon Lord's power has already surpassed the First Grade. Logically, Chen Mo wouldn't stand a chance.
"It wasn't the real Demon Lord that descended, just an avatar, but even so, it was beyond what I could withstand," Chen Mo explained. "Fortunately, the Daoist Venerable was prepared and stepped in to destroy it, otherwise there would have been trouble..."
"Daoist Venerable?"
The Empress understood.
No wonder Chen Mo's whereabouts couldn't be traced; he was taken by the Daoist Venerable?
