Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

"You mean they are truly demons?"

Li Yuan frowned. Ever since the appearance of the demon race, things had become increasingly bizarre, completely beyond his expectations.

The situation is gradually getting out of control.

Once Ji Fanghua recovered, the three of them left immediately and arrived at another open area hundreds of miles away before dark. Li Yuan dug an ice cave to rest there.

After dark, he decided not to continue his journey. He could not trust the demon race or the monster race, as they might turn against him at any moment.

The three of them took turns keeping watch that night. Li Yuan was on watch for the first half of the night. He found a sheltered snow hollow to stop, took out a sound transmission bead from his pocket, and channeled his Yuan energy into it.

"Miss Langhuan."

A few breaths later, the bead lit up with a blue light, and the voice of the Demon Queen Langhuan came clearly.

"Li Yuan, what is it?"

"We were ambushed by the demons today. How are things on your end? Are you alright?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the bead: "A demon ambush? Nothing happened on our side."

Li Yuan raised an eyebrow and said sincerely, "The demon race is treacherous and cunning. Their fighting style and cultivation are completely different from those of our human and demon races. If you encounter them in the future, please be very careful."

He then proceeded to describe in detail how the three demons appeared, their physical characteristics, and their fighting styles.

He wasn't lying about these words; he just omitted mentioning his own team's fighting style.

The Demon Emperor Langhuan listened carefully, and after a long while, she said softly, "Thank you for the reminder, Brother Li. If you encounter the demons again and need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"You're welcome, we'll help each other out."

After the transmission was completed, the bead flashed with light and then disappeared.

Hundreds of miles away in the snow valley, three demons were also gathering together. The content of the conversation between the Demon Queen Langhuan and Li Yuan was not kept from the two of them.

At this moment, Langhuan looked at the communication bead in her hand, lost in thought.

"Hmph! Humans are cunning. Why would they be so kind? Could they be deliberately trying to sow discord among us with false information?"

The Azure Demon King sneered.

"not necessarily."

The Demon Queen of Langhuan put away the communication bead, saying, "Based on my understanding of Li Yuan, he won't lie about this matter."

"Moreover, his description of the three demons is very detailed, even including their names, so it doesn't seem fake."

"Bah! Humans are the best at putting on airs. We're enemies now, why would he help us?"

The Demon King Cangcang's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he roared indignantly.

"I also think it's true."

The Demon King Mo Ming beside him said leisurely, "This guy surnamed Li is obviously up to no good. All three of our groups are heading to the Demon Clan's Holy Land at the same time, but there is only one Chosen One."

"He tipped us off only so that when the snipe and the clam fight, the fisherman can profit."

"Ha! I told you, he's no good!"

Upon hearing this, the Azure Demon King hurriedly echoed his agreement.

"That's enough!"

The Demon Queen Langhuan interrupted the two, "No matter what, his reminder was very timely. The demons could launch a sneak attack on us at any time. If we were completely unaware, we might not be able to escape unscathed."

"From now on, the three of us will take turns on guard duty, ready to fight at any time."

The Demon Queen of Langhuan had the highest cultivation level, and strength was paramount among the demon race, so she naturally became the leader among the three.

"Yes, I'll be on night duty tonight, Miss Langhuan, don't worry."

Mo Ming Demon King immediately agreed, and Qing Cang Demon King opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but finally nodded.

Just as Li Yuan put away the communication bead, he sensed someone behind him. Leng Ningshuang slowly walked out and sat down beside him.

"If you inform the demon race, will they believe you?"

"Whether they believe it or not is irrelevant; at least it will raise their awareness so that they don't get crushed by the demons right away."

Li Yuan said calmly, "We are still far from the sacred land of the demon race. I don't want any of their teams to die prematurely."

"Otherwise, wouldn't the journey be incredibly boring?"

He grinned, and for some reason, Leng Ning Shuang felt a chill.

To be honest, he didn't really take the geniuses of the demon and monster races seriously; they were at best just whetstones for him to enter the sacred land of the demon race.

He had a premonition that the real test would come after he entered the sacred land of the demon race.

Therefore, he must improve his cultivation level as quickly as possible along the way, and the fastest way to improve his cultivation level is through battle.

Inside the snow cave, Ji Fanghua meditated alone. She gritted her teeth, threw two pills into her mouth, and began to forcefully break through her cultivation level.

She had been in the early stage of the Condensation Realm for two years and had already felt the threshold of the middle stage. Today's battle made her realize that the gap in realm was indeed difficult to bridge.

There is only one genius in the world like Li Yuan who can easily defeat opponents of higher levels.

Sensing the change in her aura, Li Yuan remained silent. This girl had always been stubborn, and having suffered a loss today, she was unwilling to swallow her anger.

I will definitely find it myself in the future.

Three hundred miles away, deep in the snowfield, in a shady ice valley, black mist condensed into a temporary camp.

There was no campfire, no animal hides, only a thick, impenetrable darkness.

The eerie creature loomed in and out of sight in the darkness. Ming Ji leaned against an ice rock, black and purple demonic flames dancing at her fingertips, her face ashen.

His previous arrogance had vanished, replaced by an aura of hostility.

"Today's move has exceeded my expectations."

The cunning man said casually, "However, I've figured out Li Yuan's methods. Next time, it won't end so easily."

"I'm only interested in Li Yuan. As for the two little girls, you can deal with them."

"That half-demon is just taking advantage of her talent in ice and snow, which gives her a favorable time and place. I see that her internal energy is unstable and she will run into trouble sooner or later. She is nothing to be afraid of."

Xu Xuan said coldly.

"That girl who can teleport is weak in cultivation, but she has unlimited potential. If she grows up, she'll be a real problem."

Mingji felt a surge of anger as she listened to his words, which were all belittling Leng Ningshuang and seemed to imply that her cultivation was inadequate.

The dark purple flame at his fingertips leaped high, and he scoffed, "Heh, you make it sound so easy. How about we switch things up next time?"

"You misunderstood. I just think they don't have the opportunity to grow up."

Xu Xuan paused, looking at the strange bun with a half-smile: "We've already tested the human race's strength. How about we test the demon race's capabilities as well?"

"Of course we'll give it a try." Guimo didn't seem very interested. "I'll go and meet the Demon King Langhuan. The rest of you two can decide what to do."

"I'm actually quite interested in that Demon King Mo Ming. That Qing Cang is just a brainless big guy; let Ming Ji deal with him."

Xu Xuan said lazily.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me? I'll fight the Demon King Mo Ming!"

Ming Ji felt something was off no matter how she listened, and immediately retorted angrily.

"Fine, pick whoever you want to fight, I don't care."

Xu Xuan's face was expressionless, like a cold, lifeless stone.

Ming Ji grew angrier the more she thought about it, but she couldn't find any fault with the other party: "You set a time and then let me know. I'm going to cultivate."

After saying that, he turned into a wisp of smoke and vanished in an instant.

"By the way, if the human race and the demon race join forces to deal with us, that would really be a headache."

Xu Xuan looked at the strange steamed bun with a meaningful expression.

"The two clans are sworn enemies and can't be united, so don't worry."

He gave a sneer.

"I don't think so. The attitude of that Demon Empress Langhuan towards Li Yuan is quite ambiguous."
