Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

In Li Yuan's perception, although Lang Huan's speed was swift, it was far less unfathomable than the Snowfield of the Xuanbing Demon Emperor.

He immediately understood, and with just a slight turn of his body, the light grazed past him.

Langhuan's first attack missed, and she frowned slightly. Her attack became even faster. Her figure fluttered like a butterfly, and her palm shadows were numerous, turning into a sky full of blue light, which poured down on Li Yuan like a torrential rain.

Li Yuan remained calm and composed, moving with fluid grace, easily deflecting all attacks.

Half of the Demon Emperor Langhuan's cultivation was built up with rare and precious materials, making her foundation unstable. Coupled with her lack of combat experience, she couldn't unleash her full potential.

"All you can do is hide?" Langhuan said angrily.

Li Yuan said calmly, "I'm afraid that once I make a move, you won't have a chance."

"presumptuous!"

A jade-green short sword, a bronze bell engraved with runes, and a black bead shimmering with an eerie light were launched at Li Yuan from three directions.

In an instant, the sky was filled with the dazzling light of magical artifacts.

"go!"

The magical artifact, radiating astonishing pressure, blocked all of Li Yuan's escape routes, eliciting gasps of surprise from the surrounding demons.

The magical treasures in Langhuan's possession are all of high quality. If they attack at the same time, even a mid-stage Demon Emperor would have to be wary.

Li Yuan stood still, raised one hand, and gently clenched his five fingers. A strange power spread out from him, and the three magical treasures were instantly trapped in an invisible vortex, their speed decreased sharply, and they trembled slightly in the air.

Langhuan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, her hands forming a hand seal as she desperately tried to activate the magic weapon.

Li Yuan gently clenched his fist.

"Buzz!"

With a muffled thud, the three magical treasures simultaneously let out a mournful cry, their light dimmed, and they clattered to the ground.

The entire room fell silent.

Langhuan's eyes widened in disbelief. These three magical treasures were crafted for her by her parents with countless efforts, and each one was incredibly powerful.

Unexpectedly, he was easily defeated in front of Li Yuan.

"impossible!"

"You're definitely up to something!"

Langhuan let out a sharp shriek and transformed into a purple streak of light, rushing towards Li Yuan at twice the speed of before.

She was even willing to burn her demonic power to avenge her previous humiliation.

Li Yuan chuckled softly, extended a finger, and gently tapped her forehead.

"jump!"

After a very soft sound, the world fell silent.

Langhuan froze abruptly, stopping a step away from Li Yuan, her eyes losing their luster, and slowly fell backward.

"You brat! How dare you hurt my daughter!"

A figure darted out like lightning and caught her.

Before them stood a magnificently dressed female demon queen, her face filled with heartache as she looked at her daughter in her arms, her eyes blazing with intense killing intent.

"You ignorant humans, kneel down and await your death!"

Before the words were finished, another burly demon emperor stepped forward, exuding the aura of a peak demon emperor.

Two powerful pressures intertwined, pressing down on Li Yuan like a mountain.

Li Yuan remained motionless, calmly watching the other person, a slight smile curving his lips.

"Pah! Shameless!"

"I'm willing to fight and admit defeat!"

Chu Yunhe and Wu Yu were both hot-tempered, and they immediately slammed their fists on the table and stood up.

That's enough.

Mo Lin Demon Emperor slowly walked out from the crowd and glanced indifferently at the two Demon Emperors.

"Gentlemen, Lord Li is a guest from afar. The sparring was suggested by Langhuan herself. If you lose, you lose."

"If you can't accept defeat, are you going to let the world laugh at my Demon Court for lacking any class?"

The two men's expressions changed repeatedly, but in the end, they were intimidated by Mo Lin's imposing presence and reluctantly withdrew their hands, carrying their daughter as they retreated.

The Demon Queen glared fiercely at Li Yuan: "Boy, this isn't going to be so easy!"

Li Yuan smiled dismissively, turned, and walked back to the delegation. Chu Yunhe stepped forward, beaming, and lowered his voice, "Brother, you've really made us proud!"

Wang Shu's eyes flickered slightly, as if he were thinking about something, but he didn't say anything more.

After the banquet, Mo Lin and Li Yuan agreed to formally begin peace talks three days later.

Before leaving, Mo Lin said meaningfully, "The two demon emperors, Cangming and Lingxu, have always loved their daughter dearly. I hope you will be careful in the next few days."

"Thanks for reminding me."

Li Yuan clasped his hands in farewell and took his leave.

The next day, Zhou Yuanliang sent word that everything was arranged. Li Yuan changed into the clothes of an ordinary shop assistant, disguised himself as an apprentice, and mingled into the mansion of the Demon Emperor Mo Lin with the delivery merchants.

The mansion was heavily guarded, and the merchants were clearly acquaintances. A demon maid led the two directly into the backyard.

"Take Yu's things in; she doesn't like being disturbed by maids."

The maid did not go in; she remained outside.

The courtyard was small, but quiet and exquisite, with everything one could need. A slender figure sat quietly in the pavilion, lost in thought.

"Greetings, Miss Yu. Everything you requested has been delivered."

The traveling merchant bowed cautiously.

"Put it there, Manager Zhang, come over and tell me about the situation in the Western Regions."

Yu Ling'er did not turn around, her expression somewhat desolate.

Li Yuan gave Manager Zhang a wink, and the latter understood and immediately stepped back to the door to keep watch.

"Senior Sister Yu, how have you been?"

Li Yuan walked over slowly and asked softly.

Yu Ling'er turned around abruptly, her eyes filled with disbelief: "Li Yuan! It really is you!"

After several years apart, the once lively and cheerful Yu Ling'er now had a hint of sorrow in her eyes, and her eyes welled up with tears when she saw Li Yuan.

She stood up abruptly, walked quickly to Li Yuan's side, and looked him up and down: "Manager Zhang said a few days ago that you were coming, and I didn't expect it to actually be true."

A complex mix of emotions welled up in Li Yuan's heart. Imprisoned for years, how difficult must it have been for Yu Ling'er, who was once bright, generous, and had the world in her heart? "Are you alright?"

"I'm alright, at least I didn't suffer much."

Yu Ling'er laughed freely, and in a daze, she regained her usual cheerfulness. "I'm just a little bored."

"I'll remove the restrictions on you first."

A restriction at the level of a demon emperor is something that ordinary people cannot break, and it is easy for the opponent to detect. Fortunately, Li Yuan is proficient in the power of the five elements.

He reached out and placed his palm on Yu Ling'er's back, channeling his Yuan energy into her body. After a moment, Yu Ling'er sensed the long-lost spiritual energy and was filled with excitement.

It's unpleasant to be at someone's mercy, but now she has finally regained her power.

"Come with me."

Li Yuan withdrew his hand.

Yu Ling'er was taken aback and shook her head.

"Now is not the time to leave. Mo Lin appears gentle on the surface, but he is actually very cunning. If he discovers this, the peace talks will be completely ruined."

Li Yuan naturally knew that what she said made sense. He had acted on impulse just now. Just as he was about to speak, Yu Ling'er spoke again.

"Don't worry, once you leave the Demon Court, I'll find a way to get away so we can return to the Tang Dynasty together."

"Okay, I will definitely take you back."

Li Yuan said solemnly.

Yu Ling'er smiled, then looked at him seriously: "By the way, you must be careful of Mo Lin. He has great ambitions, is very ambitious, and keeps his true intentions hidden."

"His advocacy for peace talks may not be out of a genuine desire to end the war; rather, he may be using the peace talks as an opportunity to build up his strength for other purposes."

Li Yuan's heart stirred, recalling the warning from the Xuanbing Demon Emperor, which coincided with what Yu Ling'er had said.

Just as he was about to ask what was going on, his expression suddenly changed, and he vaguely sensed a powerful aura.

"Mo Lin is here!" His expression changed, and he reached out and tapped several marks on Yu Ling'er's body. "I'll temporarily seal the Yuan energy in your body to avoid arousing his suspicion."

He handed over a magic manual, saying, "This is the Breath Concealment Technique. Practice it later."
