High-level martial arts: Long spear with black flames to suppress demons.

Cang Gu steered the conversation toward Du Yue's return to the demon realm, emphasizing the current situation of the demon race and promising to help Du Yue replenish her lost essence.

During the conversation, the topic of inheriting the Demon Emperor's throne was not mentioned again. Before coming, he had already learned about Du Yue's attitude from Cang Wulan and the others. Talking about the royal court, sacrifices, and the inheritance of various races at this time would only make her feel troubled. He wanted to get her to go to the Demon Realm to take a look first, and then there would be room for discussion on other matters.

Seeing that Du Yue didn't have much of a problem with him, Cang Gu felt relieved.

He looked at Shen Chang'an: "We understand that Your Highness doesn't want to go alone. As for Shanghai... how much longer will Inspector Shen need?"

Shen Chang'an didn't answer immediately. He mentally reviewed the unresolved matters. The situation in Shanghai no longer required his attention; the support had arrived. What remained was the stone slab. The stone slab was related to Him, and he needed to understand the situation. He also needed to ask Elder Wang about these matters...

He pondered for a moment and gave an answer: "A week, I'll stay a few more days to see if there's anything I've overlooked. I also need to keep an eye on Old Wang's situation."

Du Yue turned her head and asked softly, "Will Old Wang be able to wake up then?"

Shen Chang'an looked at her and said, "His soul has recovered very well and he may wake up at any time. Even if he doesn't wake up by then, it may not be a bad thing. He can continue to nurture his soul in the dream world. You don't need to stay by his side all the time."

Du Yue thought for a moment before nodding, "Then let's do it a week later."

A smile appeared on Cang Gu's face. The demon realm had already waited for more than a thousand years, so seven more days wouldn't make a difference.

"Okay, it's settled then. We'll go to the Demon Capital of South China first, where the passage between the two realms is the most stable. After entering the Demon Realm, we'll head to the Ancient Demon King's Court. We'll arrange the support along the way."

With the itinerary roughly set, Shen Chang'an brought up another matter.

"Also, everyone's accommodations need to be rearranged; the medical department can no longer accommodate everyone."

Jin Yao subconsciously looked at Du Yue: "But His Highness's safety..."

"The headquarters has a defensive array, and the medical department is right under the headquarters, so nothing will happen."

Shen Chang'an paused for a moment: "Besides, the medical department is really struggling to cope. Even if you don't reveal your demonic aura, you will still affect the surrounding environment."

In the past few days, the personnel responsible for equipment maintenance have made several trips to the medical department.

The occasional gusts of wind and spatial fluctuations emanating from Peng Lie's body would interfere with precision instruments, and the temperature near Jin Yao's residence could not be lowered. The temperature control equipment was running at full capacity. After a long time of investigation, the maintenance personnel finally discovered that the equipment was not broken at all.

Qingge's condition is slightly better; the equipment wasn't affected and no one was injured. However, the potted plants in the corridor are growing too fast and need to be pruned frequently.

With the three already in such a state, and now with the addition of several powerful demons like Cang Gu, the medical department is even less suited to continue receiving patients.

Shen Chang'an looked at everyone and said, "You all have high cultivation levels, so you may not be aware of some of the effects on yourselves. However, there are still many injured people inside, and we can't keep letting them be affected."

Cang Gu nodded.

"It was indeed our oversight. Let's find a place closer to home, so it'll be easier to come over if something really happens."

Seeing that he agreed, Shen Chang'an immediately contacted Yuan Qi and informed her of the current situation.

She quickly found a suitable place: a hotel near the headquarters that specifically catered to high-level cultivators from outside. After the Dead Zone incident, all the guests had been evacuated, and it was still empty. It was much more suitable than the medical department.

Yuan Qi quickly verified the situation and sent over the hotel information.

"Located less than five kilometers from headquarters, the hotel is currently only open to diplomatic missions. The facilities can be adjusted to meet the needs of different ethnic groups. For other needs, just contact the reception staff."

Tu Shan Feiyue glanced at the information and smiled, "This place is not bad. It's better than us all crammed into the medical department, where we're watched wherever we go."

"As long as there's a place to go, that's fine."

Yuan Chongyue nodded as well.

"Just now in the hallway, I had to be careful even when I turned around quickly."

Shen Chang'an glanced at him but didn't reply. Yuan Chongyue remembered the cracks in the wall, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and said nothing more.

Peng Lie and the other two originally wanted to stay near Du Yue, but seeing that she had no objection to the arrangement, they agreed. Since the hotel was close by, they could keep an eye on the headquarters with their divine senses without having to stay next door.

After the meeting, the reception staff led the delegation to the hotel, and Peng Lie and others also packed up their belongings from the observation room and moved them there as well.

The medical department finally became quiet.

Du Yue stood by the window, watching the delegation's vehicles drive out of the headquarters, and only turned around when the convoy disappeared at the end of the street.

"We'll go together in a week, it's settled."

He nodded: "Yes, it's settled."

......

Two days later, Shen Chang'an came to the medical department again.

He remembered that Du Yue had told him something: starting from when he woke up in Old Wang's dream, he had to come back again in three days.

The timing was exactly today, but the reminder came very abruptly. He remembered that he had agreed, but he couldn't recall why Du Yue had told him to come over in three days.

When he entered the lounge, Du Yue was sitting at the table eating fruit. Upon seeing him, she put down the fruit and said, "You've come."

Shen Chang'an sat down opposite her: "You reminded me before that I should come see Old Wang again in three days. Who told you to tell me that?"

"Let me think about it."

Du Yue recalled carefully for a while: "Back then, you told me to wait for you to wake up, and that you must come to see Old Wang again in three days."

After she finished speaking, she looked at him with a strange expression.

"Didn't you confess yourself?"

Shen Chang'an did not answer immediately.

He could remember waking up from the dream and the words Du Yue relayed, but thinking back further, he had no recollection of ever saying those words to Du Yue.

Given his current mastery of the Great Dream Spring and Autumn Technique, it's impossible for an ordinary person to silently disturb his memories, especially since he left behind such a reminder afterward.

It seems that this was an arrangement she made on her own initiative.

"Okay, then I'll go find Old Wang first."

Shen Chang'an arrived at the intensive care unit, sat down beside the bed, and drifted into Old Wang's dream.

The darkness quickly dissipated, and the familiar office reappeared. Old Wang's spirit sat at the desk, looking completely at ease.

Seeing Shen Chang'an enter, Old Wang was not surprised; their agreed time was today. He immediately asked, "Has the new acting commander been questioned?"

"I've already asked."

Shen Chang'an stopped in front of the table: "He didn't get anything out of him and passed the review very smoothly."

Old Wang nodded: "It seems the memory replacement is working."
