Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

"The Moon Essence can only temporarily suppress the demonic power within you, but it cannot solve the fundamental problem. In the long run, it will eventually erupt, at which point you will be completely optimized and lose your mind."

Leng Ning Shuang was shocked. She had finally learned that the Demon Emperor possessed a piece of Ning Yue Marrow, which was the marrow of an ancient divine beast and could suppress the raging demonic power.

In the past few days, her signs of going astray in cultivation have become increasingly serious, leaving her no choice but to risk sneaking into the Demon Emperor's inner palace, intending to fight to the death.

Unexpectedly, she not only got herself stuck here, but was also told that this thing wouldn't do her much good.

"Thank you, senior."

In an instant, she felt utterly disheartened. She looked up and stared directly at the other person, "Why did Senior Qinglian help me?"

"Because," the Azure Lotus Demon Saint smiled, his expression kind, "I am an old friend of your mother, you look somewhat like her, and more importantly, you carry her aura."

Leng Ning Shuang shuddered, opened her mouth as if to ask something, but ultimately said nothing.

"Do you have any questions for me regarding the demonic power within you?"

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint looked at her with gentle eyes.

"I have been cultivating a fragment of an ancient cultivation technique. Every time I break through a realm, the demonic power within my body surges violently, and it becomes increasingly difficult to suppress."

Leng Ning Shuang hesitated for a moment. The Azure Lotus Demon Saint had lived for thousands of years and might actually be able to think of a solution, but she did not reveal the origin of this technique.

"It's not a problem with the technique, but with yourself. Even if you practice orthodox Taoist techniques, they will still erupt as your cultivation level increases. It's just that this technique caused it to erupt prematurely."

"I see."

Leng Ning Shuang smiled sadly, "Then, senior, do you have a solution?"

"I do have some, but I don't know if you'd be willing to part with them."

"What method?"

The condensation frost's eyes lit up.

"If you completely abandon human cultivation techniques and switch to demonic cultivation, this incompatibility problem will not occur."

"No! Absolutely not!"

Leng Ningshuang's face instantly turned as white as paper. She resolutely refused, "Even if I die, I will never give up."

"If that's the case, then there are still two ways, but we're not entirely confident about them."

"Which two methods?" she asked hastily, suppressing the shock in her heart.

"If a demon emperor intervenes in time to refine your conflicting bloodlines, they can be merged into one."

Leng Ning Shuang's expression froze. Even if the Xuan Tian Demon Emperor were in front of her, let alone that he was already in seclusion, he would not make a move because of her.

"Is there another way?"

She still held onto a sliver of hope.

"You can go to the sacred land of the demon race. There, you can undergo a baptism of ancestral blood to purify your bloodline and completely get rid of the backlash."

"The Holy Land of the Demon Race..."

How could the legendary, mysterious ancestral land of the demon race possibly accept her?

"If I go, will they really agree?"

"meeting."

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint nodded affirmatively, "The Demon Clan's Holy Land has no prejudice against humans. As long as you can find the place, they will definitely take action."

Leng Ning Shuang's eyes suddenly lit up: "Senior, could you tell me where the Holy Land is?"

"I don't know either. Legend has it that it's in the far west."

Seeing Leng Ning Shuang's disappointed expression, the Azure Lotus Demon Saint said again, "You can go to Chen Su Demon Emperor. He came from the Demon Clan's Holy Land, and he is the only one in the world who knows how to get there."

The Demon Emperor of the Stars?

Leng Ning Shuang lowered her eyes. Back in the secret realm, it was he who gave her this incomplete cultivation manual. Did he already foresee this ending?

However, the Demon Emperor Chen Su is elusive and has not been seen since that encounter. Where should I go to search for him?

"Since there's nothing more to ask, let's leave here as soon as possible. If we stay any longer, I'm afraid people outside might break in."

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint stretched out his palm, and a huge lotus bud appeared in his hand. Then, the bud bloomed with a faint light, and the petals began to unfold one by one.

A faint, pleasant fragrance lingers in the air, refreshing the mind and spirit.

A moment later, a pure white lotus flower floated in the air, holy and noble.

"go!"

With a flick of his finger, the petals of the Azure Lotus Demon Saint fell off and flew into the broken array.

In the blink of an eye, the formation was repaired and restored to normal, showing no trace of its previous chaotic state.

"You will disguise yourself as a guard and come out with me. You'll have to figure out how to leave later."

Qinglian took out a set of black armor from her sleeve, identical to the palace guards standing guard outside.

"Thank you, senior."

Leng Ning Shuang's expression was complicated. She quickly took the armor and put it on. The armor had a mask, which could just cover her face.

"Let's go."

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint nodded to him and walked out of the inner palace unhurriedly. Outside the palace, a large crowd of people surrounded them. Mo Lin and Zhu Yan were at the front, while the other demon emperors watched Li Yuan and Zhu Yan warily, afraid that they might do something unusual.

Mo Lin stepped forward, frowning as he glanced at the guards behind Qing Lian. Leng Ning Shuang hadn't used any concealment techniques, and her body was radiating a strong demonic aura.

"Senior, what happened?"

Qinglian stood with her hands behind her back: "Nothing serious. The formation had been neglected for years, and the restrictive spiritual energy was not functioning properly, triggering the warning sign. I have already repaired it, and no outsiders have broken in."

Mo Lin's eyes flashed: "That's good then, thank you for your hard work."

"Everyone's gone."

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint said calmly, "Strengthen the palace's defenses, and make sure there are no more problems."

"yes!"

The demon emperor guarding the palace hurriedly responded. He was responsible for such a major incident today, and the fact that the Azure Lotus Demon Saint did not pursue the matter was already a great favor to him.

Qinglian said no more and turned to leave. Leng Ningshuang retreated back into the group of guards, preparing to leave after the crowd dispersed.

"Since there's nothing else, we'll take our leave now."

Li Yuan smiled and cupped his hands in greeting as he left alongside Liu Hongyan. Before leaving, he glanced at Leng Ningshuang without making a sound.

As night fell, the Heavenly Demon City returned to its apparent tranquility.

Inside the inn, Leng Ningshuang quietly pushed open the door and stepped inside. Suddenly, everything around her changed, as if she were standing in a galaxy with a dazzling array of stars beneath her feet.

"Senior Sister Leng, you took too much of a risk today."

A blue figure emerged from the starry sky; it was Li Yuan.

Leng Ning Shuang lowered her eyes: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise and caused you trouble."

Li Yuan couldn't help but rub his forehead: "That's not what I meant. If it weren't for Senior Qinglian covering for you, you would most likely be in grave danger today."

"I……"

Leng Ning Shuang hadn't expected that Li Yuan was more concerned about her safety than about the trouble, and she couldn't help but feel guilty.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. Have you found a solution?"

Leng Ningshuang shook her head: "Senior Qinglian said that unless the Demon Emperor takes action, the only option is to go to the Demon Clan's Holy Land."

"A sacred land of the demon race?"

Li Yuan's heart stirred. If he wanted to find clues about the Heavenly Ladder, he had to go to the sacred land of the demon race.

Do you know how to get there?

"have no idea."

Leng Ning Shuang looked up at him, "But I think the Chen Su Demon Emperor should know."

"Are you sure he came from the sacred land of the demon race?"

Although there have been rumors about this, they have never been confirmed.

"It's confirmed, it was Senior Qinglian who said it."

"But the Chenxiu Demon Emperor's whereabouts are elusive, and we don't know where to look for him."

Leng Ningshuang sighed. They had been in Tianyao City for so long, but had never heard of any trace of the Chensu Demon Emperor.

Li Yuan frowned, then suddenly a thought struck him: "Do you remember? He once said that the three of us could be the ones who made the prophecy, and that he would keep an eye on us."
