Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

"Do demons really exist?"

Ji Fanghua seemed to be deep in thought.

"That's what Senior Qinglian said, but he also said that the demon race is not a bloodline race with a lineage, but rather people who have evil intentions and have fallen into demonic ways."

"So that's how it is."

Leng Ningshuang's expression changed slightly, and she lowered her eyes, concealing a hint of coldness in them.

Inside Tianyao City.

The battle between the Demon Emperor Molin and the Demon Saint Qinglian had ended. The lotus flowers on Lotus Lake were broken and the black mist had long since dissipated.

Qinglian remained untouched by dust, her robes fluttering in the breeze. Molin had reverted to human form, his face as black as the bottom of a pot, utterly gloomy.

"Since everyone has left, let's just drop this matter."

Mo Lin flicked his long sleeves and turned to leave in a hurry. Qing Lian knew he wanted to chase after Li Yuan, but she didn't bother to explain, only giving a meaningful smile.

Just as he left the city, several of his subordinates turned back. Mo Lin's expression was furious: "What's going on? So many people couldn't stop him? What a waste!"

"My lord, it was the Demon Emperor Chen Su. He said those people were guests from the sacred land of the demon race."

"A sacred land of the demon race?"

Mo Lin was startled, then anger flashed in his eyes. Black mist surged around him, and a powerful pressure swept over, making the two demon emperors tremble.

"Good, very good! Qinglian, I see!"

His figure suddenly vanished from the spot, and billowing black mist surged into the city. The two demon emperors exchanged a glance, both covered in cold sweat.

Hundreds of miles west of Tianyao City, amidst the vast mountains, Li Yuan and his two companions rested temporarily in a valley.

Li Yuan waved his hand, setting up a barrier: "Let's rest here for a bit. Junior Sister Ji, please recover your strength first. Senior Sister Leng, what are your opinions regarding this trip to the Demon Clan's Holy Land?"

Leng Ning Shuang's eyes flickered: "No."

"I'm not asking how to get there, I'm asking how to fight along the way?"

"you mean?"

Ning Shuang frowned slightly.

"You don't actually believe that the Demon Emperor Chen Su was so kind as to only point us in one direction and even help us hold off our pursuers, have you ever wondered why he did that?"

Li Yuan sneered.

Leng Ning Shuang was naturally intelligent, and after a moment's thought, she understood: "He said he was looking for the person who made the prophecy."

"Yes, I understand from what he said. There can only be one final candidate, but there are nine people in total now. It's a long journey, and not everyone can reach their destination."

Li Yuan smiled meaningfully.

Leng Ning Shuang suddenly looked up: "He's raising poisonous insects!"

First, all suspects are selected, then they are placed in the same environment to fight each other, and the one who wins in the end is the one they have chosen.

In an instant, Leng Yishuang felt a chill run down her spine. This Chen Su Demon Emperor seemed to have an otherworldly aura, and he had helped them every time he appeared. Upon closer inspection, something was definitely not right.

The fact that the Demon Emperor of the Stars was helping them so wholeheartedly was more like pushing them forward, eager to raise their cultivation levels and then finalize the selection.

They value the result; the number of deaths is irrelevant to the Demon Clan's Holy Land.

The great war between humans and demons back then was instigated by the Demon Emperor Chensu, but afterwards he withdrew and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.

Over the years, every time the fighting eased, someone would try to stir things up, and now it seems that this person is most likely him.

Thinking of the millions of civilians who died because of the war, and the ordinary demon soldiers who were caught up in it and died in battle, Leng Ning Shuang felt a chill run down her spine.

The Demon Emperor Chen and his ilk not only disregarded human lives, but also treated fellow demons as ants, showing them no pity and completely manipulating them at will.

Not only is the journey fraught with danger, but even if they ultimately succeed in reaching the sacred land of the demon race, they still don't know what earth-shattering situation awaits them.

"Should we still go?"

Leng Ningshuang felt a desire to retreat, not because she was afraid of dying, but because she felt it wasn't worth it.

The demonic energy within her body is not entirely uncontrollable. Moreover, if all else fails, as the Azure Lotus Demon Saint said, she can completely abandon her human cultivation and switch to the demonic path.

"Go, why not go? Are you afraid of them?"

Ji Fanghua, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke.

"Of course we should go, but we can't follow their lead."

Li Yuan smiled coldly, "He wants us to kill each other, but he has forgotten that the greatest advantage of the human race is not individual strength, but the ability to unite."

"The three of us will join forces and overcome this challenge together. So what if it's a sacred place of the demon race? As long as we get what we want, that's all that matters."

The three of them had their own reasons for choosing to go to the sacred land of the demon race, hoping to obtain what they wanted.

"it is good."

Ji Fanghua looked up and stared directly into his eyes. "At any time, you can entrust your back to me with peace of mind. Even if it means death, I will not back down an inch."

They had fought side by side in the city of Locked Dragon, and later they went on to explore secret realms and venture into the southern border together, experiencing countless life-and-death battles.

Li Yuan naturally trusted her, and similarly, Ji Fanghua absolutely trusted Li Yuan.

But Leng Ningshuang is different; she comes from Taixu Academy, and the two sides share common interests as well as competition.

"Don't look at me. This matter concerns the interests of the human race, and I will not back down."

"This is your choice, I hope you remember it." Li Yuan gave Leng Yishuang a meaningful look.

Next, Li Yuan protected the two of them, allowing them to meditate and regulate their breathing to restore them to their peak condition.

Three days later, Li Yuan and his group flew through the air, leaving the mountains and entering the legendary western wilderness.

Before me stretched an endless plain, the north wind howling, thick layers of ice covering it.

This place is barren and cold, uninhabited by humans, except for a small number of demons who live in the harsh climate.

"Li Yuan? It really is you."

The three demons entered the wasteland almost simultaneously. The one in the lead was none other than the Demon Emperor Langhuan, followed by two demon men, one in green and one in black.

"Azure Demon King".

Ji Fanghua frowned slightly and looked at the man in blue; clearly, the two knew each other.

"Miss Ji, I never expected to meet you outside the battlefield."

A fighting spirit ignited in the eyes of the Azure Demon King.

"Hmph! A defeated opponent."

Ji Fanghua snorted coldly, not wanting to pay him any attention.

"you!"

The Azure Demon King's expression changed, and he erupted in anger: "Then let's fight again!"

As he was about to make his move, the Demon Queen Langhuan hurriedly reached out to stop him: "Qingcang, don't be impulsive. I hope there won't be any unexpected trouble on our way to the Demon Clan's holy land."

The Demon Queen of Langhuan at this moment is completely different from the arrogant and impulsive image that Li Yuan had seen before.

"This is the Demon King of the Dark Abyss."

Langhuan pointed to the man in black behind her and introduced him, saying that the man had a sinister face and seemed to be covered by a layer of frost.

Li Yuan gave him a meaningful look: "What is your relationship with the Demon Emperor Mo Lin?"

The Demon King Mo Ming's eyes darkened: "He is my uncle."

"I see, my apologies."

As soon as I saw him, I felt that his aura was somewhat familiar. It turned out that he was Mo Lin's nephew. It seems that his true form is also a black snake.

"Have you seen the other three?"

Clearly, Langhuan was also very interested in the legendary demon race.

"no."

The two teams were wary of each other, fearing that the other might try something underhanded.

"We're planning to go this way, what about you?"

Langhuan pointed to the left and said.

Li Yuan and Leng Ning Shuang exchanged a glance: "Then let's go to the right. If there are any problems, we can send a signal."

Although the two races are enemies, they share the same goal, especially when facing the demon race. A temporary alliance is not out of the question.

As expected, Langhuan understood his meaning and took out a blue bead.
