Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

Xuanbing Demon Emperor's expression changed, and he immediately withdrew his attack, retreating backward to distance himself from Mr. Mo, his eyes filled with apprehension.

He never expected that, despite thinking that the three of them were suppressing Mr. Mo, the other party could so easily injure the white ape under the siege.

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint frowned, glanced coldly at the White Ape Demon Saint lying on the ground, and a hint of disdain flashed in his eyes.

"White Ape, I warned you long ago that Mo Wentian is not so easy to deal with, but you insisted on being clever and using those despicable methods. Now you have brought shame upon yourself, so you can't blame anyone else."

"you……!"

The White Ape Demon Saint clutched his chest, both angry and furious, pointing at the Azure Lotus Demon Saint, but unable to utter a word.

It was already severely injured by Mr. Mo, and now, provoked by the sarcastic words of the Azure Lotus Demon Saint, its blood and qi surged to the point that it spat out another mouthful of blood and almost fainted on the spot.

Mr. Mo watched this scene with little relief. Although he had injured the white ape, the bindings of the Thirty-Three Heavens Diagram remained, and he was indeed unable to break free from the diagram for the time being.

Moreover, the Azure Lotus Demon Saint and the Profound Ice Demon Emperor clearly still had reserves of strength and had not used their true trump cards.

He withdrew his gaze and looked at the vast snow-capped mountains beyond the scroll, silently thinking, "Young man, this is all I can do for you."

"You'll have to walk the road ahead on your own."

Inside the central command tent, the lights were on.

Chu Jinghong sat in the main seat, surrounded by Yu Chifeng, Feng Wuhen, and others, the atmosphere heavy.

Li Yuan sat at the bottom of the table. He had already returned to his original appearance. He had just treated the wound on his back, and although his face was still a little pale, his breathing had returned to normal.

"The cave where the demon emperor resides is about eight hundred miles away from here."

He took out paper and pen, pondered for a moment, and then quickly began to sketch. The brushstrokes were not delicate, but the lines were simple and powerful, and the mountains and rivers were clearly visible.

In a short while, a topographical map appeared on the paper, with several key locations clearly marked.

Next, he drew a topographical map of the cave. "I haven't explored the entire demon's lair, so I can only draw a rough outline."

Zhao Lingyun leaned closer for a look and immediately gasped: "This is a marching map! How did you memorize it?"

He clearly remembered that when he was captured by the Eagle King that day, the flight speed was extremely fast, and it pierced through the clouds and fog, making it impossible to discern the terrain below.

Even as a soldier, I could only discern the general direction, yet Li Yuan was able to remember the route clearly under such difficult circumstances.

"I always wanted to join the army when I was young, and I taught myself how to draw military maps."

His skill was something he honed as a special forces soldier in his previous life, and he could only offer a vague explanation at this moment.

"With the added benefits of cultivation, my spiritual awareness has increased, and I've become accustomed to constantly paying attention to the places I pass by." She then pushed the object towards Zhao Lingyun, "Brother Zhao, take a look, is there anything you'd like to add?"

Zhao Lingyun took the map and looked at it, and was amazed. He couldn't help but think of Li Chongwen's obsequious and selfish face in the dungeon. He was willing to sell his own son in order to save his own life, which was really despicable.

"You've drawn it very clearly, there's nothing more to add." He put down the map, feeling a pang of sympathy for Li Yuansheng. It was truly ironic that he had to risk his life to save such an unreliable father.

He pursed his lips, a terrible thought rising in his mind, and his eyes darkened instantly.

Li Yuan put down his pen, raised his hand and bowed deeply to everyone. "My lords, I have a request."

Chu Jinghong raised her hand and said, "Speak freely."

"This rescue mission was a personal matter for me." Li Yuan raised his head, his gaze calmly sweeping over everyone present. "He is my biological father. As his child, I cannot stand idly by and watch him fall into the clutches of a demon."

"But I am truly uneasy that you gentlemen have risked your lives and even mobilized the imperial army for this matter. Therefore, I hope... that I can resolve this matter myself."

"Nonsense!"

Chen Shuo was the first to object, slamming his fist on the table. "You're going alone? Isn't that just suicide? The Chen Su Demon Emperor is clearly after you."

He had known Li Yuan for a long time and had accompanied him all the way, so he had long regarded him as his brother.

"Brother Chen, please let me finish," Li Yuan said with a reassuring smile. "I'm not going to venture into the demon's lair alone. What I mean is, I want to talk to the Chen Su Demon Emperor first."

"Negotiation?" Xu Sheng frowned. "Negotiation with the Demon Emperor? Is that even feasible...?"

"I want to test his limits," Li Yuan said. "Since he specifically asked for me and set a three-day deadline, it means he has something in mind for me, rather than simply wanting my life."

"Moreover, more than a year has passed since the Poyang Lake case. I don't believe that the Chenxiu Demon Emperor was involved at the time, so there must be other hidden stories behind this matter."

Li Yuan looked around at everyone. "Since that's the case, there's room for negotiation. I want to know what he really wants. If he can exchange my father for other conditions, perhaps we won't have to go to such lengths."

Yu Chifeng, who had kept his eyes slightly closed, slowly opened them and looked at Li Yuan with a hint of approval: "Kid, you have courage and insight, you're not impulsive or reckless, and you know to first ascertain the situation. Not bad, you're soldier material..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chu Jinghong laughed and said, "I'm saying you're poaching people right in front of me, don't you think you can disregard my Demon Suppression Division?"

"How about... you discuss it with Deputy Commander Ye?" Chu Jinghong asked with a mocking expression.

"No, no, Ye... she shouldn't be here, right?" Yu Chifeng said, glancing guiltily to his right.

Li Yuan's eyes lit up, feeling a burning passion for gossip ignite within him.

Deputy Commander Ye?

The Demon Suppression Division has three deputy commanders. Besides Chu Jinghong, there are two others. Among them, the one surnamed Ye is none other than the famous Ye Hongyu, whose beauty is fleeting.

He is also another genius with a level nine talent. At only forty years old, he has already become one of the top experts and the youngest deputy commander of the Demon Suppression Division.

There seems to be some intriguing story between these two human prodigies with level nine talent.

"What are you thinking, you little brat? I'm an old man, don't get any funny ideas."

Upon seeing Li Yuan's expression, Yu Chifeng knew that he was up to no good, and chuckled as he reached out and tapped him on the head.

Li Yuan shrank back and touched his head awkwardly.

"However, it's not right to say that saving people is your private matter. If that Chen Su Demon Emperor really came from our clan's holy land, his appearance is no longer just a simple personal grudge."

Yu Chifeng's expression was serious. "The Demon Clan's Holy Land has been indifferent to worldly affairs for over a thousand years, yet now it has sent a Demon Emperor deep into the heart of the Tang Dynasty. Their ambitions must be considerable."

"This matter concerns the fate of the nation."

Feng Wuhen nodded in agreement: "General Yuchi is absolutely right. The relationship between the Demon Clan's Holy Land and the Demon Court has always been ambiguous. If the actions of the Chen Su Demon Emperor have been tacitly approved by the Lord of the Demon Court, it means that the Demon Clan may be brewing some kind of big move."

"This is no longer just your problem, but a challenge that the entire Tang Dynasty needs to face."

Upon hearing this, Li Yuan's heart stirred slightly.

He vaguely sensed that the true target of the Chen Su Demon Emperor was likely the bronze palace in his sea of ​​consciousness.

But how this bronze palace became connected with the sacred land of the demon race became the biggest mystery in his mind.
