Hearing that, Iris asked her daughter. "Is that true, Zoe? Are you married to a human now?"
Zoe smiled awkwardly at her mother's question. "Mom, I met Ling Yun for the first time a few months ago, and I was in my mating period back then, so I had sex with him."
"I see." Iris nodded in understanding. "Then?"
After she told her mother everything, Zoe then pointed at Duan Wu. "She is one of his wives, and she brought Mao and me here without Lucifer and the others knowing."
"Hmm?" Iris turned to Duan Wu, but she was surprised as she couldn't recognize her demon identity.
Duan Wu smiled and said to her. "I am half-demon and half-fairy, so you won't recognize me."
"How is that possible? Demons and fairies have opposing elements, but now you say you are a mixed descendant of them." Iris said it with a look of disbelief.
Duan Wu shook her head at Iris. "I can't explain it to you, but I was able to become like this because of Yun'er."
"All right, we can talk later, but we must leave this place now." Mao interrupted them, afraid that the Leviathan would notice their presence. "Iris, I know you want to save your husband, but you can't do anything right now, especially since one of the demon lords is inside."
"Hmm?" Iris raised her eyebrows.
Zoe immediately told her. "Leviathan is inside the palace now, Mother. If we force our way in there to save my father, we will surely die in vain at his hands. So we should leave this place first, and we will save him in the future."
"But-"
"You don't need to be stubborn, Iris." Mao stopped her instantly. "I know you desperately want to save your husband, but you will never succeed. Even if the four of us gang up on Leviathan, we are still no match for her."
Iris didn't say anything, especially since she realized she was no match for the Leviathan, but she wanted to save her husband as soon as possible, or it would be too late.
Mao then put her arm around her shoulders. "Moreover, we also had one other important purpose for coming here, which would drastically change the situation in this realm."
"What do you mean by that?" Iris asked in confusion, for she believed it was impossible to change their situation as long as the demon lords reigned supreme in the Demon Realm.
"We came here to free someone, but you may not remember her, and she is the true ruler of this realm." After hearing that, Iris looked at Mao in disbelief, for she could only remember that Lucifer and the other demon lords were the rulers of their realm. "In this realm, I am the only demon who can remember her existence, for those demon lords have already sealed your memories of her. However, if we manage to free her from her prison, all of you will be able to remember her again."
"Is that true?" Iris still couldn't believe Mao's words.
Mao sighed helplessly. "You will find out after we arrive at her prison, so we have to go there right now."
"Mother! Don't be stubborn like this; Mao didn't lie to you, and we will save my father in the future." Zoe urged her mother because she kept doubting their words.
Duan Wu also said to her. "You better listen to them, or you will die in vain. Moreover, my husband has planned to attack this realm soon, and we will reverse the situation by then."
Iris looked at her two children before she let out a soft sigh. "All right, I'll trust you guys for now, and we can go there to free that person."
Upon hearing that, they breathed a sigh of relief, and Duan Wu enveloped them in her Qi. However, just as they were about to leave the place, an intense pressure immediately pressed them down, causing them to fall to the ground, and they saw Leviathan already above them.
'Shit!' They cursed in their hearts after seeing her.
Without thinking twice, Duan Wu directly activated the Harem Connection, contacted Ling Yun, and informed him of their situation.
[Calm down; I will go there right now.] After saying that, Ling Yun immediately stopped sparring and headed to the Demon Realm with Ling Xi, confusing the three people.
"Honestly, I was long aware of your presence, but I deliberately waited for the right time to ambush all of you." Leviathan spoke as she landed in front of them. She then turned to Mao. "So you're the royal demon cat imprisoned by Mammon long ago, huh? I didn't expect you to remember that person, but I won't let you guys go there to set her free, and I'll kill all of you in this place."
"Are you sure about that?"
This time, Leviathan froze after hearing Ling Yun's voice behind her. She then looked back but couldn't find him. "Who?"
Duan Wu, Mao, and Zoe felt relieved after they heard his voice. After all, Ling Yun could find his women easily through his map, and Ling Xi's speed was too fast for a place as small as the Demon Realm.
On the other hand, Iris looked confused after she heard Ling Yun's voice, but Basus smiled happily, especially since he could recognize his body scent. 'Haha! So he is my brother-in-law? He must be so strong that the Leviathan can't find him!'
"Come out!" Leviathan shouted as she circled around to look for Ling Yun, but she suddenly felt that he touch her body, and she became shocked when Mao and the others disappeared, for Ling Xi had already enveloped them with her aura. "What? How could they disappear like that?"
However, Ling Xi had already whisked them all away, and Mao then showed her the direction of Diablo's prison, so they headed there before Leviathan informed Lucifer and the others of their plan.
"Damn it! What the heck just happened? And who was that guy just now?" Leviathan wondered to herself as she furrowed her brows and quickly left the place. "Tch! I have to tell Luci and the others about their plan to free Diablo, or else our hundreds of years of effort will end in vain."

Meanwhile, Ling Yun and the others had arrived at the darkest place in the Demon Realm, and the surroundings were filled with strange tombs.
Suddenly, Basaus asked him. "Are you my brother-in-law?"
"Hmm?" Ling Yun turned to him in surprise; he rubbed Basaus's head and answered him. "Zoe is my woman, so naturally, I am your brother-in-law."
"Ha ha ha!" Basaus laughed and hugged Ling Yun. "Brother-in-law, you are so strong; you have already killed Mammon, and Leviathan can't even find you."
Zoe shook her head at them like that but smiled in satisfaction. During the past few months, they were together, their relationship was still limited to being a dual cultivation partner, but Ling Yun has now said such a thing.
Meanwhile, Iris looked at Ling Yun in confusion and admiration, especially since he could easily save them from the Leviathan.
Ling Yun noticed Iris' gaze on him, but he immediately ignored her and asked Mao, for his map couldn't detect Diablo's whereabouts. "So where is she now? We must free her before Lucifer and the others come here."
"Wait a minute." Mao answered as she took out Diablo's demon core, and it emitted a black light before flying away in a certain direction. "We should be able to find Diablo if we follow that demon core."
"Let's go then." Ling Yun immediately led them to follow Diablo's demon core, which continued to fly forward, and they soon arrived at a strategy portal. "How can we enter this portal?"
"Isn't that easy?" Ling Xi then pointed at Diablo's demon core. "Hold the demon core."
Upon hearing that, Ling Yun immediately grabbed Diablo's demon core, and the portal sucked them into it.
.
.

"Hmm? What kind of place is this?" Ling Yun muttered as he observed the map, but it showed nothing. He then released Diablo's demon core, and it immediately flew away from them. "Let's follow it again."
Mao and the others nodded in agreement, especially since they also had no other solution, and Diablo's demon core was the only one that could lead them to find her. Unfortunately, it kept circling in all directions like it was lost, making them sigh helplessly.
"Yun'er! Even though there is nothing in this place, I feel that this place is really unpleasant." Duan Wu said as she hugged Ling Yun's arm.
"Don't worry, Ling Xi and I are here; nothing will happen to you." Ling Yun replied as he looked around the area around them, but there was only endless darkness in every direction he looked.
"Hahaha! I didn't expect that there was such a dark place in your world." They were startled by the Chaos Dragon's voice, and he immediately appeared before them. "Haha! You guys don't need to be afraid of me; I'm just a soul remnant, so I can't do anything to you."
"Is he the Chaos Dragon?" Duan Wu asked in a whisper.
"He is indeed the Chaos Dragon, but he can only appear when I am in a place as dark as this place." Ling Yun then turned to him. "Can you find Diablo in this place?"
The Chaos Dragon smirked upon hearing that. "I am the darkness, and the darkness is me, so it's an easy matter for me."
