After spending a night wandering around several towns nearby, Bai Qiuran discovered that these demons were really honest.
Not only they didn’t oppress the human, but these demons also looked like they were afraid of contact with humans, as if humans were breakable porcelains. One or two monster officers advanced cultivation levels, when walking on the street and meeting a human, they all went around.
After some investigations, Bai Qiuran confirmed his guess that these demons were not driven by the edict left by the deceased demon emperor before his death, but came from a certain force in the demon race.
However, in the nearby towns, he hadn’t encountered any monsters he knew, so he couldn’t tell the details of this monster army.
None of the Demon Kings appeared, and several demon generals whom he had impressions about during the previous war all died due to old age or accidents after they returned. The demon king’s army now had a new batch of blood from top to bottom, so Bai Qiuran no longer saw any familiar face.
Before dawn, he returned to the front command post of the Heavenly Army and informed Zhao Ruize of these things.
“Looking at them, I’m afraid they want to negotiate peace with us.”
After hearing this, Zhao Ruize immediately said:
“Maybe they want to ask for help.”
“Commander Zhao, you’re quite keen.”
Bai Qiuran said in surprise.
“Sword Patriarch, we are soldiers after all.”
Zhao Ruize waved his hand:
“Unless the commander is terrified, there is no army that panic before the battle.”
“Well, I also told Jade-Faced Buddha about this situation through communication.”
Bai Qiuran replied:
“I discussed it with him.”
Zhao Ruize heard the words and asked:
“What is his opinion? Fight or withdraw?”
“Let’s be so stable for the first time. The towns they control are their weaknesses, but also their bargaining chips.”
Bai Qiuran said:
“If we just rush over so recklessly, we must be able to win, but a lot of people will be killed. Wait to see what kind of ideas these monsters are holding.”
............
After deciding to stay still, the two races faced each other for a few days, but no armed conflict broke out.
A few days later, Su Xiangxue, who had handed over the affairs of the Kamasutra Sect, also rushed here and heard Bai Qiuran talk about the situation.
Perhaps the news of her arrival was also known by the demon, soon enough, the demon sent a messenger.
After receiving the news, Zhao Ruize ordered someone to take him to Bai Qiuran, Su Xiangxue, and Jade-Faced Buddha with the communication stone.
The messenger that came was a snake demon. After seeing Bai Qiuran, he began to tremble, his legs softened, and he knelt directly on the ground.
“Please get up.”
Jade-Faced Buddha whose face appeared on the communication stone smiled bitterly and said:
“Sword Patriarch is not a tyrannical person as you think, please stand up and tell me what you came from.”
“Yes, this lord.”
This demon stood up swayingly, still bowed his head, and dared not look at Bai Qiuran.
“I’m here on behalf of my king. He wants to meet Sword Patriarch and the princess.”
Bai Qiuran and Jade-Faced Buddha looked at each other, and then Bai Qiuran asked:
“Who is the king you represent?”
“Many.”
The demon envoy buried his head lower.
“Snake King, Crocodile King, Eagle King, Flower King.”
“Oh, they have started to ally with each other.”
Bai Qiuran sneered, turned his head and looked at others, and then said to Jade-Faced Buddha:
“Leader.”
“Sword Patriarch, I am counting on you.”
Jade-Faced Buddha nodded.
“As for Sect Master Su, it is not the little monk who can interfere with you. Please do as you wish.”
As the leader, Jade-Faced Buddha was not at all worried about the safety of Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue. It’s indeed dangerous to put an important person in the enemy camp, but in this case, the concept was different. A nuclear bomb was put in the enemy camp, thus it’s the enemy who was in danger.
“I will follow.”
Su Xiangxue stood up and said without hesitation.
............
Under the escort of Zhao Ruize, Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue followed the demon messenger all the way through the space rift and entered the Demon Realm.
Apart from the strong aura and the demons living here, the environment of the Demon Realm was not different from the environment of Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. At least it would not let Bai Qiuran and Su Xiangxue think that they have come to an alien land.
The essence of the demon world’s strong spiritual energy was because the area here was almost half smaller than that of Nine Provinces and Ten Lands. Here, creatures that couldn’t transform would not be treated as the same race by the demon race.
Almost everyone here despised the human race because the human race was indeed generally less talented than the demon race. The transformation of the demon essentially followed the guidance of Heaven, it’s equal to evolve from a low-level life to a high-level life, but Heaven guided them transforming into the shape of a human, which can be said to be very ironic.
Like the human race, the demon race has also set up a line of defense here. After Bai Qiuran rushed in last time, the demon race has guarded against this fissure.
Even if they couldn’t defend against him, there must be a few demons left to survive, so they could inform everyone to take refuge.
Bai Qiuran looked at the demon messenger’s arrogant attitude when facing the lower demon clan guarding the rift, and quietly said to Su Xiangxue next to him:
“It seems that this entrance has been controlled by those demon kings.”
“The demon race is very clear between the upper and lower levels. They are almost counted as two separate races. This messenger has such a normal attitude.”
Su Xiangxue explained in a low voice:
“Moreover, it is very easy for those demon kings to control this place. This rift is a hot potato for the demon clans. If someone takes the initiative to guard it, the forces holding this pass will definitely give it up willingly.”
“Why?”
Bai Qiuran was puzzled.
“This rift was the only channel that connects the Demon Realm with Nine Provinces and Ten Lands.”
Su Xiangxue glanced at him speechlessly.
“Because of you.”
“What? These demons are slandering me.”
Bai Qiuran said angrily:
“Am I the kind of person who kills someone and their whole family if they don’t agree with me?”
“From the standpoint of the demon, you are.”
Su Xiangxue said quietly:
“On the way to kill the demon crowned prince and Cui Luo’s mother, you slaughtered a lot of demons by the way.”
Bai Qiuran snorted.
“Stupid demon, this is pride and prejudice!”
Su Xiangxue ignored him. When the two passed the rift, the guards standing by were all shaking with fearful expressions.
The demon messenger who led the way also changed his pretentious posture, shivering from time to time along the way, just like a patient with advanced Parkinson syndrome.
“Hey, you.”
Looking at his back, Bai Qiuran shouted.
This messenger was so scared that Bai Qiuran suddenly made a sound, he almost jumped up. After reacting, he suddenly bowed his head and said:
“Yes! What is your command?”
“Tsk…do you have a prostate problem?”
Bai Qiuran slapped his tongue.
“If you want to pee, just do it. She and I can wait for you for a while, and it’s annoying to look at you shaking.”
