Chapter 227 - The Truth behind the Demon Gate (2/2)

“The gate to the Demon World?”

Lonemoon had thought that she would not agree easily. After all, the reason she had stayed in the Demon World would definitely be because of Zhan Ting. After some thinking, he added on, “We feel that the reason the Celestial and Demon Worlds combined into one is connected to the gate to the Demon World that Zhan Ting left in the Celestial World, so…”

“Okay.” Surprisingly, she agreed readily. She turned around and looked at the door, shouting coldly, “Get in here!”

“Okay, I’m coming, I’m coming.” Zhan Ting immediately entered the room and smiled brilliantly, “Darling, you’re finally willing to meet me. I knew you still cared about…”

“Shut up!”

“Oh.” Zhan Ting immediately became a sad quail.

Zhuo Hua did not even bother about him and turned around, looking at them, “Ask any questions you all have.” After she said that, she glared at Zhan Ting, “Answer them properly.”

“Sure darling, no problem darling.” Zhan Ting stood even straighter, as obedient as he could be. He then turned around to look at them, his expression suddenly changing to the domineering Demon King, what a flawless switch, “What is it, hurry up, I’m busy!”

Everyone: “…”

The Demon World was definitely a place without values.

Lonemoon reacted the quickest and asked in a serious voice, “We want to know if the gate to the Demon World was created by you. How did you know that opening the gate on the Emperor Ascension Stage would combine the two worlds? Also, was it you who pulled me and Shen Ying to this world?”

“What Emperor Ascension Stage? The two worlds combining?” Zhan Ting looked lost, “Indeed, I was the one who created the gate to the Demon World. Back then, the Demon World was sealed, Cuihua and I were separated by the two worlds, so I took the chance to send my subordinates to the Celestial World while the seal was weakening to set up a gate to the Demon World in the Bo Sea.”

“Bo Sea!” Lonemoon was stunned and immediately had an ominous feeling, it couldn’t be…

“That’s right!” Zhan Ting nodded and replied proudly, “Cuihua was the Bo Sea’s Emperor back then, so the gate naturally had to be set up there. The gate was actually only a special transportation array, moreover, it had to be assembled to be of use. So, once the gate to the Demon World was set up, I activated the array and brought her over, hehehe…”

“…” Holy shit! As expected, what was this result that was completely expected?

“Then, why did all the demons you sent think that the gate to the Demon World was a pathway to connect the two worlds?” Otherwise, Zi Chen wouldn’t have risked his life to open the gate.

“Oh, I swindled them into thinking that.” Zhan Ting replied nonchalantly. If he didn’t trick them into thinking he had a grand plan who would be willing to go to the Celestial World to help him find his wife, “In reality, the door couldn’t even be opened.”

“…” Damn it, this guy is too shameless!

So the entire plan to invade the Celestial World was a scam to help him find his wife from the beginning? They suddenly felt like lighting a candle for all the demons who had been in subterfuge in the Celestial World all these years, trying to open the gate to the Demon World.

This henpecked guy was definitely not the mastermind, definitely!

“Back then… I was indeed transported to this world by the gate to the Demon World.” Zhuo Hua walked forward and explained, “The gate has a camouflage spell on it, but in reality, it’s only a transportation array. Moreover, after it transported me, it should have lost its effectiveness.”

Lonemoon fell silent and he frowned even harder. They had seen the gate to the Demon World twice, it was obviously a passageway linking the two worlds. Afterwards, it had even combined the two worlds. However, Zhan Ting had no reason to lie to them, if the initial gate to the Demon World was merely a transportation array, something must have happened in the process. However, who would be able to tamper with the gate to the Demon World?

Moreover, the gate to the Demon World had only been set up in the Bo Sea, but when they first saw the gate to the Demon World, it was in the Invincible Sect in Feng Cang.

They felt as though the matter was getting more complicated, but all the hints had only led up to here.

For a while, everyone was silent.

“Chef, did you bring pen and paper?” Shen Ying asked suddenly.

“This…” Yi Qing did a double take. After a while, he took out a piece of white cloth and a bowl of black liquid, “Master, is brocade and soy sauce fine?” He had only brought these.

“I’ll make do!” She took them and placed them on the table.

“What are you doing?” Lonemoon asked curiously, but Shen Ying did not reply.

Yi Qing had taken out a brush and passed it to her, she doodled on the brocade and put down the brush and pointed at the picture on it, asking, “Have you seen this before?”

Everyone looked down and saw a crooked pendant drawn on the cloth, it looked like a pendant. Although the design was common, there was a strange pattern on the jade.

Zhan Ting’s eyes widened, “This pattern is…”
