Chapter 1025: Some Things Were Understood Without Words.
A father and daughter might not have shared a perfect tacit understanding, but blood bound them together. They understood each other very well.
In that brief span of time, Autumn had already figured out why the Demon Emperor had appeared here.
It dated back to long ago, when the Demon Emperor and Chen Chao had confronted one another at the Onan River. In the end, neither chose a fight to the death. Chen Chao headed south, and Autumn followed him south. At that time, the Demon Emperor had left a mark on her.
That mark originally served two purposes. One was that he did not want Autumn to simply die. The second, and more important reason.
To determine just how severe Chen Chao's injuries truly were.
In the end, Chen Chao had cut down a demon lord amid the demon army and departed in grand fashion, while Autumn turned northward. The mark failed to discover the extent of Chen Chao's injuries, but it did not dissipate either.
That was because the Demon Emperor was an extremely suspicious man. Even toward his own daughter, he was no different. Moreover, the current Autumn not only already possessed the beginnings of the ability to threaten him, but the relationship between them had long ceased to be that of a simple father and daughter. A crack had already appeared between the two of them.
The mark followed Autumn all the way south and eventually allowed the Demon Emperor to sense the aura of the divine medicine. At that point, this ruler of myriad demons could no longer restrain himself.
No matter how suspicious he was, when faced with a divine medicine, the Demon Emperor was willing to gamble.
