Tang Dynasty Demon Suppression Division

"Haha! The lifespan of humans is ultimately shorter than that of demons. You're getting old."

Xuan Tian grinned maliciously and increased his power.

On the other side, the Azure Lotus Demon Saint and Luo Xuan also clashed.

Luo Xuan came from the military and his martial arts were known for their domineering and fierce style. A violent fire dragon appeared on his fist shadow, carrying the power to shatter mountains and rivers.

The Azure Lotus Demon Saint was like an azure lotus swaying in a storm, his movements nimble and ethereal. He seemed to be able to foresee the enemy's moves, always managing to dodge before Luo Xuan's fist arrived, and then counterattack with the azure light at his fingertips.

The two fought fiercely, with Luo Xuan's attacks like a storm, while Qinglian Demon Saint's defense was as solid as a rock, and neither could truly suppress the other.

The battle between the Xuanbing Demon Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor was more of a contest on the level of laws.

The Xuanbing Demon Emperor used the power of ice to freeze the surrounding space, attempting to trap the Imperial Preceptor in an icy domain.

With a smile on his face, the Imperial Preceptor made hand seals, and strings of golden runes flew out, rewriting the laws of the Ice Domain little by little, preventing the Xuanbing Demon Emperor's cold energy from truly condensing into a form.

Although the Xuanbing Demon Emperor was of a higher realm, the Imperial Preceptor's understanding of the laws far surpassed his, and the two were unable to determine a winner for the time being.

In the center of the battlefield, the Demon Emperor Xuan Tian had the upper hand. Although the Supreme Emperor was struggling to hold on, it was clear to everyone that he was about to be defeated.

"boom!"

The retired emperor was knocked back several feet by Xuan Tian's palm strike, a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth. Just as he was about to continue his attack, suddenly, both of them sensed a fluctuation.

The two exchanged a glance and stopped fighting without warning.

"He's here."

Xuan Tian gazed into the depths of the void, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

The retired emperor also looked in that direction, his pupils slightly contracting. He had already sensed Li Yuan's aura, which was moving towards them at an extremely fast speed.

"Hmph! You got off easy today. We'll fight again next time."

Xuan Tian withdrew his gaze, glanced at the Emperor Emeritus, and said in a low voice, "The score between us can be settled later, but if you insist on coming along, I don't mind letting you stay here for now."

"You think you can stop me?"

The retired emperor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his gaze mocking.

Although he was slightly inferior in cultivation level, it would probably not be so easy for his opponent to kill him.

"If you dare to ruin my plans, I will risk injury to cut you down!"

Xuan Tian glanced at him coldly, then slowly raised his hand. Countless golden lines cracked in the sky above the wasteland, as if the entire sky was under his control.

This was a blatant threat. The Emperor Emeritus remained silent for a moment, but ultimately did not make another move. Instead, he slowly took a step back, leading the Imperial Preceptor and Luo Xuan into a spatial fold, where they disappeared.

Xuan Tian did not chase after him. He stared in the direction where the Emperor Emeritus had disappeared, his gaze deep and unfathomable. Then he turned to Li Yuan's direction with a strange expression.

"You're finally back."

He uttered a low murmur, gave a wicked smile, turned around with the Azure Lotus Demon Saint and the Profound Ice Demon Emperor, took a step, and his figure disappeared from the spot.

Only Langhuan remained on the wasteland, amidst a scene of utter devastation.

Half an incense stick later, Li Yuan and his two companions arrived at the edge of the wasteland from another direction.

He could sense the aftershocks of the battle from afar; the residual traces of power in the air resembled dense ripples, possessing both the profundity of demonic power and the vastness of spiritual power.

Two distinct auras intertwined, like two or more enormous beasts that had once torn each other apart in this place.

He slowed his pace, silently scanning the entire wasteland with his divine sense, but found no trace of any living person, demon, or creature.

"Someone or some giant beast was fighting here just now," he said softly.

Ji Fanghua also sensed it; the spatial power at her fingertips trembled slightly, and her expression changed slightly. "This aura... is so powerful."

The appearance of such a powerful force in the void is definitely not a good sign.

Frost remained silent, observing the cracks in the ground with a thoughtful look in her eyes.

Li Yuan withdrew his divine sense and did not delve any further, but simply smiled slightly.

"Alright, don't worry about it. Langhuan is nearby, let's go find her."

The glowing light in Ji Fanghua's palm grew brighter and brighter, indicating that the target was very close. The group followed the direction and, sure enough, found Langhuan on the other side of the wasteland.

She stood alone on a protruding boulder, seemingly gazing into the distance.

"Miss Langhuan."

Li Yuan called out from afar across a pile of ruins.

Langhuan turned her head in surprise and saw the three of them. She then smiled and said, "So it's Brother Li. I didn't expect to meet you first."

"After the passage collapsed, we were swept by turbulence to a ruined planet, and we lost contact with the communication stone bead. We had no choice but to follow our instincts and head in this direction. Luckily, you're alright."

Li Yuan smiled and flew to her side, releasing the star field. Leng Ningshuang and the other person also greeted her. Ji Fanghua subtly closed her fingertips and extinguished the little firefly.

Langhuan smiled and nodded.

"I just happened to be alone, luckily I ran into you guys, and thankfully the coordinates weren't destroyed."

"The coordinates are still there? That's great."

Ji Fanghua was pleasantly surprised. The storm in the passage was so strong just now, but she didn't expect that the coordinates could be preserved. It was really unexpected.

Langhuan did not answer directly, but simply raised the crystal in her hand.

"I also feel quite lucky. How about this, let's go find Qingcang and Moming first, and then head to the Holy Land together."

"That's great." Li Yuan nodded, "I just don't know how to find them."

"It's alright, I have a special way of communicating with them, and I can vaguely sense their direction."

Langhuan looked at him politely, "However, this void turbulence is extremely dangerous, so I would appreciate your help."

"Miss Langhuan, you're too kind. It's only right that we help you find the person since you've shown us the way."

Li Yuan's gaze fell on the silvery-white crystal, then he looked up at Lang Huan.

He was certainly not stupid. The aftermath of the battle just now clearly involved more than just the Demon Emperor, yet Langhuan didn't mention it at all. Moreover, the crystal in her hand was not the same one as before.

Li Yuan remembered clearly that the crystal in the passage couldn't withstand the void storm and had already developed cracks, but this one was intact and even more crystal clear than the previous one.

Since stepping into the passage, he had vaguely sensed several powerful auras following him. Now, he was very clear that one of them was definitely the Xuan Tian Demon Emperor.

The crystal in the hand of the Langhuan Demon Emperor should have been provided by the Xuantian Demon Emperor.

What is their purpose in scheming to lure me to the Demon Clan's Holy Land? And what do they hope to gain from him?

Regardless, Li Yuan was going to make a trip to the Demon Clan's Holy Land, so he decided to use this as an opportunity to achieve his goal first.

As for the demon race's schemes, we can only deal with them as they come.

"Follow me. The aura of Qingcang is in the northwest. It's still some distance away, and the journey might not be safe."

Langhuan nodded to them, and the four of them stopped being polite and set off.

The wasteland gradually disappeared, and the ground beneath our feet turned into a mottled, rocky beach, which soon became gray-brown frozen soil covered with ice shards.

A salty, fishy chill began to fill the air, and a muffled rumble came from afar, as if a huge layer of ice was breaking apart.

After traveling for about another day, the road ahead suddenly opened up, revealing an endless gray-white icy ocean.

The scene in the Arctic Ocean was far more terrifying than imagined.

Huge icebergs drifted like islands in the dark water, colliding with each other and producing a dull rumble.

White mist, carrying a biting chill, occasionally spewed out from the cracks in the ice, condensing into tiny ice crystals that drifted in the air.
