Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Three days later, with the matter of the will-o'-the-wisp becoming increasingly urgent, Jiang Xiyu and Xiu Jie left the First Domain.

Before leaving, Jiang Xiyu specifically instructed his demon servants to inform Yuejia, but only said that he was going out to handle some matters, without revealing the purpose of his trip. After giving the instructions, he left the Demon Emperor's Palace that same day.

As they passed through several regions, looking down from the sky, Jiang Xiyu noticed that there seemed to be few demons walking around in the cities.

Xiu Jie glanced at it and explained that the demons were in a state of panic. Regardless of whether the ghost fire had appeared in the area or not, the city had issued a demon decree.

The demons were not allowed to move around freely, and the city gates were sealed off, making it impossible for demons outside to enter or demons inside to leave. Only the demon king guarding the city and a group of powerful demon soldiers and generals were allowed to patrol the city.

This would indeed reduce the occurrence of will-o'-the-wisps, but Jiang Xiyu was worried about the Demon King and those demon soldiers and generals. After all, even if he killed all the demons in the city, the demon core he condensed might not be comparable to the demon core of a city-guarding demon. And how could the demon core of a city-guarding demon be comparable to the demon core of his dignified Demon Emperor?

Therefore, Jiang Xiyu would personally appear in every region he visited, and with great fanfare.

The reason for such a large-scale operation was not only to stabilize the hearts of the demons in the demon realm.

When they reached the Nine Regions, where the will-o'-the-wisps were most rampant, the city resembled a forest burned by fire, a scene of desolation and charred blackness.

A breeze swept by, occasionally revealing lingering will-o'-the-wisps flickering red tongues, and wisps of smoke twisting like ghosts.

Jiang Xiyu stood in the sky for a long time before casting a spell to create a barrier to suppress the demon.

Once the will-o'-the-wisps were suppressed by the magic array, the black mist that filled the air dissipated, revealing the Nine Realms' scarred state, devoid of any demons.

Jiang Xiyu originally thought that all the demons in the city were gone, but when he went down there he found that there were still some traces of demons in the Nine Domains, but there were almost none left. Only some demons with higher cultivation levels were hiding with some lesser demons.

They all sensed the aura symbolizing the Demon Emperor and eagerly came looking for him. The scorpion demon, who was the most powerful among them, knelt down and wept uncontrollably upon seeing Jiang Xiyu.

For a time, cries of pleas and sobs filled the air.

Some of the lesser demons hadn't even completely lost their original features. They stared blankly, some curiously crawling to Jiang Xiyu's feet and tugging at his clothes.

Jiang Xiyu frowned, looked down at the dirty little rabbit at her feet, and picked it up with pity.

Hearing those voices, Xiu Jie couldn't bear it any longer. He suppressed his anger and stepped forward, asking the scorpion demon, "Where is the demon king guarding the city? Where is he now?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the crying intensified.

The scorpion demon wiped away her tears and replied sorrowfully, "Our king, to protect us, has already..."

Xiu Jie was immediately shocked, his eyes filled with disbelief.

The scorpion demon reported: "That ghost fire is far too domineering. If you're not careful, it can attach itself to a demon's body and steal its core. Most of the demons in the city have died this way."

"At first, there weren't many ghost flames, but as more and more demons lost their demon cores, the power of those ghost flames grew stronger. Later, the ghost flames enveloped the entire Nine Realms. To protect us, the Great King used most of his power to set up a barrier, but he himself was caught off guard and attacked by the ghost flames..."

The message sent back to the First Domain only said that ghost fire had appeared in the Nine Domains, but it did not mention the death of the Demon King.

So, after careful questioning, Jiang Xiyu learned that the news simply couldn't get out.

The entire Nine Realms has now become a furnace, and any outsiders will be devoured without exception. The demons hiding under the barrier cannot get out. If they were to leave the barrier, they would probably be reduced to ashes in an instant.

As expected, the ghost carriage's purpose was actually to target the powerful demon guarding the city.

He exploited the demon kings' protective instincts towards the city, repeatedly attacking the demon citizens within, all to divert the great demons' magical power so that he could seize the great demons' demon cores.

Xiu Jie immediately launched into a tirade of curses that shook the heavens.

Jiang Xiyu opened the map, pointed to the areas marked in red, and said, "Now that the Nine Domains have fallen, the situation in the surrounding domains is probably not much better."

Xiu Jie said urgently, "I will immediately send a telepathic message to inform them."

Jiang Xiyu pondered for a long time, then said in a deep voice, "The Ghost Chariot will definitely follow suit..."

When Jiang Xiyu came down to the Nine Domains, he discovered that the Nine Domains were filled with ghost fire, like a dormant volcano, seemingly just waiting for the right moment to erupt.

He originally intended to extinguish these will-o'-the-wisps, but they neither came into being nor died. In the end, Jiang Xiyu had no choice but to use magic to suppress them.

But suppression is not a long-term solution.

The only way to extinguish this will-o'-the-wisp is to find the Ghost Chariot.

Jiang Xiyu frowned, vaguely sensing that something was wrong.

He felt that the ghost carriage seemed to be using the same tactics it used to deal with the great demon on itself.

Because he couldn't bear to see these demons suffer, nor could he stand by and watch the ghost fire devour a region, he could only use his magic power to suppress it. Suppressing one region was nothing, but the demon realm had ten regions.

If he uses his magic to suppress the demons in every region he visits, he will likely have no energy left to trace the ghost carriage. And once the ghost carriage has devoured enough demon cores, the fire will eventually reach him.

Jiang Xiyu pondered for a long time, then looked up at the scorpion demon and instructed, "The Nine Domains are not safe now. Take these demons and head towards a place closer to the First Domain."

The scorpion demon accepted the order.

Jiang Xiyu then gave him the little rabbit she was holding.

Once the demons were out of sight, Jiang Xiyu turned to look at Xiu Jie and told him his thoughts.

It is unknown what the situation is like in the other domains, but if the situation is like that in the Ninth Domain, then in order for these demons to arrive safely, they need to clear a path to the First Domain in advance. However, the gates of the domains along the way have been closed due to the ghost fire, so the situation is probably not much better. They must rush to suppress them as soon as possible.

Xiu Jie had no objections; he just wanted to get there as soon as possible.

The two, without prior agreement, went to the Tenth Domain, which is close to the Ninth Domain.

The situation was mostly the same as in the Nine Realms, except that they always arrived a step too late.

The ghost fire that devoured the demon core of a great demon became stronger with each passing moment, and the time it took to destroy a region became shorter with each passing moment.

The chaos caused by the will-o'-the-wisps was like a devastating storm that swept across the demon realm.

The entire demon realm suffered heavy casualties, and Jiang Xiyu went from place to place to save people. During the day, he comforted the demons and at night he strengthened the suppression array. In this way, time passed quickly without him realizing it.

The demons who had fled from other domains also arrived in the Fifth Domain along with Jiang Xiyu and Xiu Jie.

At that time, half of the great demons of the ten domains were lost.

Jiang Xiyu led the other great demons who were heading to the Five Regions to set up a barrier, which isolated the spread of the ghost fire.
