"Let's go together. Don't you want your daughter to stay by your side?" Lin Yaoxie asked, somewhat puzzled.

The Demon Emperor sighed, "Hua Rou doesn't have much time left. In the Qilong clan, only males can live forever. Women disappear when they reach a certain age, turning their remaining years into the lifespan of a male."

Lin Yaoxie exclaimed in astonishment, "It can be like this? This is so unfair!"

Chapter 138 The Path of Reincarnation

The Demon Emperor nodded helplessly. Lin Yaoxie looked at Hua Rou outside the door, unsure of what to do. "Demon Emperor, I understand what you mean, but this is Hua Rou's own life. She must choose the path she wants to take."

"Perhaps she has her own plans. I've come all the way from the demon race, and everything Hua Rou has told me reveals that she cares about the demon race. She loves freedom and can't bear to see her people suffer through war. Can't you see that?"

The Demon Emperor shook his head. "Of course I understand, but this is the fate of the demon race, an unchangeable fate. All realms are in chaos, and the Heavenly Race is brutal. If my demon race wants to survive, we can only defend ourselves."

Lin Yaoxie didn't say anything more. "I'm going to find Hua Rou. There are some things I need to say to her myself." The Demon Emperor didn't stop him and nodded repeatedly as he looked at Lin Yaoxie. "Will the hope for the future of martial arts rest on your shoulders?"

Hua Rou was diligently cultivating. "Your hands must be steady, and your mind must be calm. This way, you can achieve twice the result with half the effort. The Qilong bloodline in your body is very precious and powerful. If you can make good use of it, you can become even stronger."

“Master, you’ve arrived. No matter how hard I try, I can’t reach your level. Maybe I’m just too stupid. After a thousand years, all I can do is protect myself.”

Lin Yaoxie smiled and said, "Xiaorou, I want to tell you something. I'm preparing to leave and go to the Path of Reincarnation to find Zi Yuehan. No matter what she becomes, I want to find her."

“The mistress has had a hard time, she should go,” Hua Rong said. Lin Yaoxie looked at Hua Rou and asked, “Do you want to come with me?” Hua Rou looked at Lin Yaoxie but did not answer.

"Shall we leave the demon race together? But I'm worried about Father and Brother. We've offended the Celestial Clan this time, and our demon race won't have a good ending." Hua Rou was very smart and had already seen through everything.

"Xiaorou, this is your own choice. I will not force you. I have terminated the contract between us. I hope that you are by my side voluntarily and not under duress. We can no longer live and die together. The rest is up to you—to decide for yourself."

Hua Rou looked at Lin Yaoxie and said, "Master, that's not what I meant. I just can't let go of the demon race. When I came here, the demon race's situation hadn't changed at all. These past few days, I've suddenly felt my body becoming weak."

0..oo Requesting flowers.

"I will leave at dawn tomorrow. If you have thought it through, come find me. I can't predict what will happen, just like with Yuehan, but I will do my best to protect you."

Hua Rou's eyes were red as she watched Lin Yaoxie leave.

Hua Rou returned to her room, where the Demon Emperor was already waiting. "Father, what are you doing here? You scared me to death!"

"Hua Rou, your father knows that you both love and hate the demon race, me, and everything here. Your father is powerless to help you, so I can only protect you in my own way."

"Father, what's wrong with you today? Why are you saying these things?" Hua Rou felt strange, just as strange as Lin Yaoxie. "Father knows that Lin Yaoxie is leaving, and Father wants you to go with him."

Hua Rou looked at the Demon Emperor and said, "Why? You have to give me a reason. You didn't discuss it with me when you put me into the human race. Now you want me to leave. Do you think I'm so useless and a hindrance?"

"If possible, I think you should have no connection with the demon race forever." - Guang

Chapter 139 A Kind of Protection

After saying this, the Demon Emperor left immediately, leaving Hua Rou alone in the room crying.

The chill of the early morning had not lessened, especially among the demon race. Lin Yaoxie was waiting for Hua Rou.

"You still came. I will protect you from now on." Lin Yaoxie noticed the tear stains on Hua Rou's eyes that she hadn't wiped away. Hua Rou turned back to look at the demon race helplessly. "Master, why does Father dislike me so much?"

Lin Yaoxie didn't know how to answer "873". "One day, you will understand your father's love for you." Hua Rou suddenly sped up, but the direction was not the exit, but a forest.

"Hua Rou, where are you going? What kind of place is that?" Lin Yaoxie quickly chased after her. "I'm going to find Grandpa Jie Zhi. He can definitely tell me."

Lin Yaoxie was suddenly blocked by a barrier. Just as Lin Yaoxie was about to use his mental power, a voice made him stop his reckless actions, "I know you can destroy the barrier, but this barrier is related to the fate of the demon race. I hope you will think twice before you act."

Lin Yaoxie hesitated for a long time, but still chose to give up. "I can choose not to go in, but if anything happens to Hua Rou, I will raze this wretched place to the ground."

No one responded, and Lin Yaoxie could only wait anxiously outside.

"Grandpa Jiezhi, you are the most powerful senior of the demon race. I want to know why my father doesn't like me, why he always tries to drive me away, and whether I will bring disaster to the demon race." The old man, who looked like he had seen many things, stroked Hua Rou's head and said, "Silly child, no parent in the world would push their child away. If there were no cause and effect, how could there be such a situation now?"

"Grandpa, I don't understand why I can improve so quickly among humans, but so slowly among demons."

"Hua Rou, haven't you noticed that among the female members of the demon race's Qilong bloodline, you are the only one?"

"Yes, I'm all alone. I've never seen my mother. Why?"

"It's a sacrifice, a great sacrifice, but the Demon Emperor can't sacrifice himself. Letting you go is a form of protection, it's..."

Hua Rou seemed to understand something, but something felt off. However, Grandpa Jie had already left, and no matter how much Hua Rou called out, he didn't come out again.

Hua Rou walked out, looked at Lin Yaoxie, and suddenly rushed into Lin Yaoxie's arms, "Master, I'll go with you..."

“We are partners, we are friends. I am not your master. Call me Lin Da.”

Hua Rou nodded, glanced back at the demon race, and left with Lin Yaoxie.

Grandpa Jiezhi appeared beside the Demon Emperor. "You told her everything," Grandpa Jiezhi shook his head. "No, I just revealed the secret so that he would stop hating you."

"As long as she can live and survive this life-or-death ordeal, I'll do anything," the Demon Emperor said, and Grandpa Jiezhi nodded.

"Let her be. This is her own destiny, and no one can take her place."

Lin Yaoxie left the demon race and went directly into the beast race. "Brother Lin, the beast race is different from the human race. They all have human faces and beast bodies, and they are all very powerful beasts who have transformed into humans."

“No wonder we’re neighbors, we know each other so well,” Lin Yao said with a wicked smile. Hua Rou shook her head. “Although we live very close, we hardly ever interact. We focus on cultivation, but they focus on power. The difference is huge.”

Hua Rou carefully explained the various aspects of the beast race to Lin Yaoxie, but she only explained and understood them.

Chapter 140 Land of the Beastmen

There's no quicker way to understand something than through firsthand experience. As Lin Yaoxie looked at Hua Rou, he was suddenly confronted by a gigantic monster.

The beastman with the human face and tiger god saw Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou beside him. "What is your purpose in coming to my beastman clan if you are not of the beastman race?"

It turned out they were guards. "We're just passing through. We're going to the Path of Reincarnation," Lin Yaoxie said without hiding anything. The beastmen were brainless, simple-minded, and physically strong, and Lin Yaoxie didn't want to play mind games with them.

“Borrowing a path to the Path of Reincarnation. In that case, let me inform the Beast King.” Lin Yaoxie nodded. Hua Rou kept looking at the nearby woods with a bad expression.

Suddenly, a giant python rushed towards Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou. Lin Yaoxie dodged, but the python had already regarded the two as food. As soon as the Qilin Sword was drawn, the python sensed Lin Yaoxie's power.

"Get out of here or you'll die," Lin Yaoxie grabbed the giant python's head, the Qilin Sword already embedded in its body. Hua Rou watched from behind, seeing that the giant python was no longer moving.

Suddenly, the man with the face of a tiger returned with his men. "What are you doing? What have you done? How dare you kill our people? Your motives are impure."

Lin Yaoxie placed the giant python's body in front of the tiger-man, saying, "Your people injured me first. I was just defending myself. Don't try to twist the truth here. What are you doing with so many people?"

Sound field"

Su,,S.

"Only one person is qualified to go on the path of reincarnation, and that is the Heavenly Clan's Formless One. Who are you?" Lin Yaoxie's Qilin Sword flashed. "Lin Yaoxie, is my name enough?"

The tiger's expression changed, and the person beside him reminded him, "It's best not to deal with this leader. He caused a ruckus in the demon race, dared to confront the celestial race, and even had Wuxing personally take action. We should report this to the Beast King."

The tiger slapped the man who had spoken away, "Bastard, do I need you to teach me how to do things? I just don't believe it. So what if it's a fairyland? I'd like to try it out."

“Fatty, are you crazy? We just need to borrow a road, why are you forcing us?” Hua Rou also revealed her Qilong form, which piqued the interest of the human-tiger. “Qilong, interesting. I’ve been wanting to test the strength of your Qilong bloodline.”

Lin Yaoxie couldn't stop Hua Rou, who had already rushed forward and started fighting the human-tiger. Lin Yaoxie didn't know whether he should intervene or not. During their battle, Lin Yaoxie seemed to see that Hua Rou had become stronger.

The tiger was forced to retreat repeatedly, and Lin Yaoxie was relieved to find that the tiger was no match for Hua Rou.

"How is this possible? Your strength is actually above mine. Is the Qilong bloodline really so invincible? I don't believe it." The human-tiger's body had already reached its limit, and Hua Rou had not yet used her full strength.

The tiger was sent flying far away. "That's enough. You've already lost. Isn't that enough of a disgrace? Tiger, you think too highly of yourself. Do you really think you're invincible?"

The Beast King has arrived! "Beast King, this man is a mad giant python! I will avenge him!" The Beast King roared, and the human-tiger taunted him as he retreated. "An outsider has entered, and you didn't even report it to me. You're still here arguing."

"Lin Yaoxie, I know your reputation. To be so admired by the demon race, you must be something special. My men have offended many people. I apologize, but I will deal with them. Please come in."

"The Beast King is indeed extraordinary in appearance; he's actually in human form..."

Chapter 141 False Politeness

Lin Yaoxie looked at the Beast King and saw that it was different from all the other beastmen; it actually had a human body.

The Beast King smiled. "I am a dragon, so of course I can transform into human form. I'm sorry you had to see this." The Beast King was very polite, but Lin Yaoxie felt that his politeness was hypocritical.

Upon entering the territory inhabited by the beastmen, they were awestruck to find that they lived in towering trees. "Your dwelling is quite unique, right here in these trees. Have these trees grown all the way to the sky?"

"We beastmen are huge, so living directly in the trees is the best way," the Beast King explained, though his dwelling place was quite normal.

Lin Yaoxie didn't want to linger any longer. "Beast King, you're not what I imagined. Thank you for your hospitality, but we're leaving now. We just came to ask for your passage."

"So eager? But the opening of the Path of Reincarnation depends on fate. Why are you so sure?" Lin Yaoxie shook his head. "No matter what time it is, I have to go. I don't want to wait even a quarter of an hour."

As the two were talking, a black tail slowly wrapped around Hua Rou's body. The Qilin Sword instantly severed the tail, and suddenly a man's shout came.

"Who's there? Come out!" Lin Yaoxie shouted. A man dressed in black suddenly stepped forward, looked at Hua Rou, and gave her a flirtatious wink. Hua Rou ignored him and walked to Lin Yaoxie's side.

The Beast King quickly stepped forward, "This is my son, Black Veil. Perhaps he was too naughty." The Forest Demon Clan did not think so, "Beast King, do not challenge my bottom line. I accidentally killed Black Veil because he was naughty."

Lin Yao's voice instantly turned cold. The Beast King looked at Hei Sha and said, "You good-for-nothing, get back to your room." Hei Sha didn't leave but kept getting closer to Hua Rou. Lin Yao felt Hua Rou's anger.

He kicked the black veil aside and said, "If I can cut off your tail, I can cut off your life. Get lost, Kai. Do you think you can even think about Hua Rou?" Lin Yaoxie showed no mercy.

"Don't be angry, he's just a child, don't take it to heart. Let's discuss how to enter the path of reincarnation," the Beast King seemed to take the matter lightly.

Lin Yaozu walked out the door. "This is my business, you don't need to worry about it." The Beast King suddenly grabbed Lin Yaoxie. "Have you thought it through? It's not safe here at night. Let's wait."

They shook each other off and walked out.

"Father, I need that woman's scent to enhance my power. Please think of a way quickly," Black Veil said urgently.

"Of course I know that the Qilong bloodline is extremely rare. If we can combine with the Qilong bloodline, our beast race will become even stronger and we will no longer need to fear the demon race."

The two were plotting something, and an evil smile appeared on their faces.

"Lin Da, I couldn't control myself just now. Am I really lacking in a sense of the bigger picture? I'm always causing trouble for you," Hua Rou said aggrievedly. Lin Yao Xie smiled.

"(Qian Zhao Zhao) What are you thinking? You did the right thing. That's how it should be. If you're bullied or wronged, you have to speak up no matter the occasion. A Lin Yaoxie is someone who lives life on his own terms."

Hua Rou only had two words in her mind: "Lin Yaoxie's people." The two arrived at a flat area, where Lin Yaoxie caught a few small beasts and set them on fire.

"Your cooking doesn't taste good. Let me do it. I'm the best at grilling meat," Hua Rou volunteered.

Chapter 142 The Twelve Beasts

Lin Yao smiled, looking at Hua Rou's practiced manner; she was indeed no ordinary person.

"Wow, so tender, so delicious, really delicious! You actually have this skill. I won't skimp on my stomach anymore," Lin said with a wicked smile.

Hua Rou looked shy and bashful; Lin Yaoxie's words could easily affect her mood.

"You two have quite the refined taste. Eating my people on our territory, aren't you showing us a lot of disrespect? Aren't you being too arrogant?"

A group of people appeared behind Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou. It was a black veil. "It's you again. Haven't you had enough of being beaten yet?" Lin Yaoxie stood up and stretched his body. The black veil retreated repeatedly.

"With your kind of guts, you dare to come out and embarrass yourself. Having more people doesn't necessarily make you any better," Lin Yaoxie said, not wanting to ruin her good mood, so she kept her black veil on.

"Lin Yaoxie, this is not the demon realm. You think too highly of yourself. Leave behind the Qilong bloodline and the spiritual core next to you, and you can leave the beast realm alive."

The words had barely left her lips when the Qilong Sword nearly killed Hei Sha, but was stopped by those around her. "Lin Yaoxie, you're really courting death. In that case, stay here." Hei Sha suddenly retreated behind her, and twelve enormous beasts of varying shapes surrounded Lin Yaoxie and Hua Rou. Hua Rou suddenly shouted, "Lin Da, this is the Twelve Beast Formation, the beast race's signature technique." Hei Sha smiled, "As expected of the princess of the demon race, interesting. In that case, you shall die." The twelve beasts suddenly unleashed their power, their spiritual energy instantly enveloping Lin Yaoxie. Lin Yaoxie's body was bound, the Qilin Sword in his hand, and it felt as if twelve mountains were pressing down on him. The twelve beasts attacked one after another.
