Become a fairy alone

The opponent's attack was not fierce, but its penetration effect was truly extraordinary. Their attention was diverted by the swarm of butterflies, and they were approached by them if they were not careful. Once they were touched, their primordial spirits were slightly paralyzed, and then wisps of flames rose from their bodies, and their entire bodies began to burn.

Screams erupted one after another. Just as Qingli was about to finish them off, Cao Xier's anxious voice suddenly came, "Sister Qingli, don't linger! A large group of enemies is chasing after us. Let's go!"

"You're lucky to be alive." Qing Li snorted coldly in resentment. If she had a little more time, she could have wiped out all the dozens of bone demons in front of her. But within the great formation set up by the other party, it was already remarkable that she could do this much.

Cao Xier ultimately only managed to reach the level of a primordial spirit ghost body thanks to the Ghost Phoenix's defensive power, lacking a lot in attack. It's already quite an achievement that we've managed to buy her this much time.

Qingli quickly reunited with Cao Xier, and their escape journey began once again.

The formation set up by the demons was a large-scale trapping formation. It would take quite a bit of effort to actually pull Qingli and Cao Xier out, especially since Qingli was quite strong and had good survival skills, and she managed to lead Cao Xier out of the encirclement of the bone demons several times.

After more than half a year of this maneuvering, one day, with continuous rain, Qingli, who had moved to a grove of bat-leaf trees, frowned as she looked at the dark clouds above her head. Having played hide-and-seek with those bone demons for so long, Qingli had a certain confidence when she was about to be surrounded several times. But when faced with this rain that didn't seem to have much of a killing power, her heart suddenly jumped.

It seemed as if a pair of eyes were watching their every move from above, but she didn't know where the spy was. She and Cao Xi'er went in different directions, and the gloomy rain never seemed to dissipate.

"You damned little bitch, you stole my lady's treasure and ruined her path! Today I will grind you both to dust!" A furious voice rang out in the rain.

"You mean that old madwoman? She's so old and looks really creepy. Her name isn't even engraved on the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade. So what if she took it? What can you do about it?"

The feud between the two sides was too deep. Having fled all the way here and killed quite a few bone demons, Qingli and Cao Xier didn't expect the other side to let it go peacefully. Since that was the case, why should they wrong themselves? Even if they couldn't defeat the other side in the end, Qingli didn't want to make the other side feel too good.

"You're courting death!" Figures surrounded them from all sides through the rain. Everywhere they looked, there were bone demons. Besides the unfathomably powerful Rain Swamp Lizard Demon, there were two other bone demons at the Nascent Soul Demon Body Realm, each leading their own armies. The murderous aura made the rain even heavier.

Cao Xier, whose cultivation was weaker and who barely achieved the primordial spirit ghost body by relying on the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade, couldn't help but tremble under the constant onslaught of killing intent.

It wasn't fear, but rather an instinctive reaction caused by her temporary over-reliance on external objects like the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade, and the excessive external disturbances. If her cultivation level were the same as Qing Li's, she wouldn't exhibit this strange behavior.

"Attack!" With a command from Yuze Lizard Demon, two of his capable subordinates led their troops in a step-by-step advance. They were not in a hurry to kill the enemy, but instead continuously pressured the enemy's room to maneuver from the outside, completely blocking their retreat.

The two ghosts' strength was secondary; the key issue was that they were too slippery. If you weren't careful, they would escape. Several times before, they were almost certain to kill the ghosts, but they managed to find an opening and slip away. After suffering a few losses, not only them, but also the Yuze Lizard Demon became much more cautious.

"It's over, we're really doomed this time." Qingli glanced around from time to time. The enemy was surrounded like an iron barrel. Not only did they have an absolute advantage in numbers, but the strength of the Yuze Lizard Demon was also unfathomable. Even if she and Cao Xier joined forces, they probably couldn't defeat them. Surrounded like this, how could they possibly escape?

"Xi'er, if you can't hold out any longer, you'll have to figure out what to do yourself. Anyway, I'm not going to let them catch me," Qingli said.

"I should have died long ago. I only survived until now thanks to some good fortune. Being able to die here with Sister Qingli makes the journey less lonely." Cao Xier's tone didn't show much fear.

"Cloud-Piercing Bone Arrows, prepare!" The Three-Eyed Bone Crocodile raised his hand, about to order his army to launch a first attack, when suddenly a gap opened in the formation.

A skeleton man covered in black bone armor emerged from the opening, raising a black and gold token bearing a lion-shaped skull head.

"The token of the Moujin Token is like seeing the Ancestral Demon!"

Yuze Lizard Demon was startled and quickly appeared, bowing down to the armored man with his army, or rather, to the token in his hand, saying, "Greetings, Ancestral Demon!"

"The Ancestral Demon has ordered you to lead your troops to retreat without fail!" said the man in black bone armor.

"Commander, what should we do with these two ghosts?" Yu Ze Bone Demon's heart skipped a beat. He was about to capture and kill Qing Li and Cao Xi'er completely. The encirclement was already tight, and the other party had no chance of escaping. How could he be willing to withdraw his troops now?
"Why don't I capture these two ghosts first and offer them to the Ancestral Demon?"

"Don't be rude! These two are honored guests of Lord Ancestral Demon. They have been sent by Lord Ancestral Demon to invite you. Why don't you quickly withdraw your troops?" the man in black bone armor scolded.

"A distinguished guest of the Ancestral Demon Lord? Are you mistaken?" Yuze Lizard Demon's eyelids twitched. His wife was the daughter of Yin Bone Ancestral Demon. Because she had reached a critical stage in her cultivation and needed the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade to break through her realm, she found the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade, but it was forcibly integrated into her body by Cao Xier in the midst of the battle.

Yuze Lizard Demon was furious and led a group of people to surround and intercept Qingli and Cao Xier. Yin Bone Ancestral Demon also targeted Qingli. Cao Xier issued a kill order. In the meantime, because the other party repeatedly escaped, he even sent someone to reprimand him for his poor performance. After a lot of effort, he finally managed to surround the other party. Now, he actually sent a messenger to tell him that the other party had become an honored guest.
If he hadn't been so familiar with the envoy and the golden talisman, he would have thought the other party was a fake.

"Lord Ancestral Demon previously reprimanded me for my incompetence; there's no way he would issue such an order now," the Rain Swamp Lizard Demon roared. "What exactly happened?"

"Things have changed. I'm just giving orders. I must take these two distinguished guests with me. If you have any questions, you can ask Lord Ancestral Demon directly." The man in black bone armor said calmly, completely disregarding the fact that the Rain Lizard Demon was about to fly into a rage.

"You're not the messenger, are you?" The three-eyed bone crocodile, a henchman of the Rain Lizard Demon, looked at him coldly.

"How dare you! Seeing this token is like seeing the ancestral demon. Considering your hard work during this time, I will spare you this time. If you speak disrespectfully again, you will be severely punished!" The man in black bone armor said in a sinister tone. "Or if you want to see the power of the Yin Soul Bone Flame, I may grant your wish."

As soon as she finished speaking, a ring of gray flames surged around the Golden Token, instantly freezing the surroundings. Even the usually bold Qing Li's body stiffened. The moment the Yin Soul Bone Flame appeared, she felt a deadly threat. With her or Cao Xi'er's current cultivation level, once they were touched, they probably wouldn't be able to shake it off.

"I dare not!" Yuze Lizard Demon immediately broke out in a cold sweat. He was also considered the son-in-law of Yin Bone Ancestral Demon, but Yin Bone Ancestral Demon had many children, and his status as an ordinary son-in-law was far inferior to that of Mu Jinling Envoy.

Yuze Lizard Demon had no doubt that if he showed the slightest disrespect now, Mu Jinling Envoy would take action without hesitation. Not to mention that his strength was far from enough to contend with Mu Jinling, even if he could barely contend with him, the ancestral demon will that Mu Jinling represented was something he dared not disobey.

"Considering the many merits you have rendered to Lord Ancestral Demon, you may accompany me to pay homage to the Ancestral Demon. You will then understand what is going on." The envoy withdrew the Golden Token and gestured to Qing Li and Cao Xi'er, "You two honored guests have been frightened and have offended us. Please come along."

Qingli and Cao Xier exchanged bewildered glances, completely unaware of what had transpired. Even combined, their cultivation levels made it difficult to defeat the Rain Swamp Lizard Demon, especially considering he had two capable assistants and a vast army under his command. Even without these, they were far from being a match for the envoy of the Golden Order.

Under normal circumstances, the other party would not need to be so polite to them. Where did things go wrong? It seems that they don't have any powerful backing in the Demon Realm, otherwise they wouldn't have to hide and hide until now.

"The knife is already at your throat, so go ahead and go. It's just death anyway." Qingli snorted coldly. Although she couldn't figure out why, she would go and see for herself. In any case, she had no other choice.

"Since they are honored guests, we will naturally treat them with courtesy. You two are overthinking it." Envoy Mu Jin smiled upon hearing this. Thinking of the terrifying scene inside the Demon Palace, Envoy Mu Jin was also feeling a chill in his heart. He dared not say another word and obediently led the people there.

"You all lead your troops back to rest and recuperate. I will accompany the messenger to pay homage to Lord Ancestral Demon." Yuze Lizard Demon waved his hand, signaling his subordinates to retreat.

Just when he was about to kill his enemy in the chaos of battle, this unexpected turn of events left Yuze Lizard Demon completely bewildered. He was determined to see for himself what was going on.

Qingli and Cao Xier accompanied the envoy Mu Jin on a swift journey towards the Yin Peak Demon Palace. They traversed mountains and seas, passing through several teleportation arrays along the way. After some time, Qingli and Cao Xier arrived at the heavily guarded Yin Peak Demon Palace.

The area surrounding the Yin Peak Demon Palace was now swarming with Bone Demon armies, creating an extremely eerie atmosphere. It didn't feel like a joyous occasion with distinguished guests arriving; instead, it was tense and oppressive, as if a formidable enemy was imminent.

Yuze Lizard Demon entered the hall together. When he saw the scene inside, his eyes widened in disbelief, and a sense of inexplicable panic also appeared in his eyes.

The once domineering and arrogant Yin Bone Ancestral Demon was now not seated in the main position, but stood at the lower level, head bowed and eyes lowered, just as his subordinates had always done when they met him. Just how terrifying must something be to elicit such a demeanor from the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon?
Yuze Lizard Demon suddenly realized why Yin Bone Ancestral Demon had sent an envoy to order him to stop just when he was about to succeed. It turned out that he had encountered an insurmountable obstacle. Otherwise, how could he have forced him to obey unconditionally just because of Qing Li and Cao Xi'er, two ghosts he didn't know?

Thinking of this, cold sweat poured down Yuze Lizard Demon's back. Even the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon stood below him like a lackey. If he dared to show the slightest dissatisfaction, he would likely be killed on the spot. Even the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon was now in dire need of protection, let alone him.

Qingli and Cao Xier entered the Yinfeng Demon Palace with a mix of curiosity and trepidation, completely unaware of what was happening. However, when they stepped into the main hall and saw the tall figure in blue robes with silver hair, they were immediately stunned.

Qingli's eyes widened, her face filled with disbelief. Cao Xier's body trembled, her face filled with wild joy as tears streamed down her face. She immediately knelt on the ground, her voice choked with sobs, and said, "Sir!"

"Senior Uncle, you've come to the Demon Realm too?" Qingli asked blankly.

"You two are quite the troublemakers. With such low cultivation, you dare to provoke the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon. If I hadn't happened to be there and received your message, you two would have lost your lives if I had arrived any later." Lu Xiaotian turned around after finishing his conversation with the Asura Emperor and looked at Qing Li and Cao Xier.

"We didn't expect that just by stealing a piece of Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade, we would stir up a hornet's nest. The other side chased us like madmen. If we hadn't been lucky, we would have been killed by the minions of the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon."

Qing Li snorted. She was quite uneasy at first, but now that she had a powerful backer, she didn't hold back in complaining. All the way, Cao Xier had only barely maintained the defensive power of her primordial spirit and ghost body by relying on the Ghost Phoenix Evil Jade. Her actual combat power was still far from enough. She had to solve most of the problems, which had exhausted her.

Thinking of the hardships they had endured along the way, and how they dared not slacken their efforts in order to escape, Qing Li's anger rose from her heart. She heard the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon and the Rain Swamp Demon Lizard's group break out in a cold sweat.

"Xi'er, get up. When I first met you, I thought you wouldn't go very far on the path of cultivation. I never expected you to have such an opportunity. I was wrong." Lu Xiaotian reached out and helped Cao Xi'er, who was kneeling on the ground, to stand up involuntarily.

"Thank you, sir." Cao Xier wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Even when she was being chased by the Rain Swamp Demon Lizard and was in dire straits, she was not afraid. At worst, she would just die.

Upon seeing Lu Xiaotian, memories of the past flooded back, and Cao Xier felt an overwhelming sense of grievance for no apparent reason.

In the past, he wandered aimlessly in the Ghost Realm, like a rootless duckweed, without any sense of belonging. Later, in order to escape the pursuit of powerful enemies, he and Qingli escaped into the Demon Realm by chance. He lived in fear every day, and only when he saw this familiar figure did he truly feel at ease.

"Don't complain anymore. As long as you didn't suffer any losses overall, that's fine. I just communicated with the Asura Emperor, and he couldn't refuse to give me face." Lu Xiaotian looked at Qingli. "Luo Qian is a down-to-earth guy. How did he take in such a frivolous disciple like you?"

"Uncle-Master, it wasn't me who caused the trouble; they were the ones who wouldn't let us go. You let the Yin Bone Ancestral Demon go, but Xi'er and I were chased terribly in the Ghost Realm. We originally planned to go find you and Uncle-Master Su, but all the enemies we encountered along the way were shouting for our lives. You have to stand up for Xi'er and me!" Qingli said happily.
