The White Ape Demon King paused slightly at this point, and then continued, "He is no ordinary person, but a reincarnation of a deity from the upper realm, and he was reincarnated with a supreme treasure. According to the rules, he can ascend once he recovers his strength, but someone does not want him to ascend, so... they have blocked the path to ascension. As long as Qi Chengshuo dies, the path to ascension in our world will restart."

As Ye Xianya listened to the White Ape Demon King speak, she calculated and finally confirmed that it was not lying to her; the Demon Emperor had told them all of this.

But is what the Demon Emperor said true?

However, one thing is certain: Qi Chengshuo is truly amazing; he may indeed be a reincarnation of someone from the upper realm.

Could the so-called treasure be in his heart?

"What the Demon Emperor said to you is somewhat contradictory. If Qi Chengshuo is truly a reincarnation of a deity from the Upper Realm, then it proves that he was punished and sent down to the mortal realm for making a mistake. His ascension again is only right. Why should the Upper Realm stop him?"

Ye Xianya smiled as she spoke: "Moreover, these are the words of your demon race's elders in the Upper Realm. Perhaps Qi Chengshuo offended your demon race's predecessors when he was in the Upper Realm. What does that have to do with us? You say that killing him will restart the path to ascension, but in my opinion, when he cultivates to the point where he can ascend, the path to ascension will naturally open."

In any case, she would not hand Qi Chengshuo over to the demon race.

No wonder I always felt that Qi Chengshuo's future was blurry and unclear, and I could only sense a little bit of it. It turns out that he was a person from the upper realm who descended to the mortal world to undergo tribulation.

"Does Sect Leader Ye not intend to hand him over to us?" the White Ape Demon King asked, frowning.

“Yes.” Ye Xianya nodded: “I have calculated that once he recovers his strength from his previous life, nothing will matter to him, let alone the path to ascension. He is the only hope for people in our world to ascend to the upper realm. I will not let your demon race kill him.”

Hearing Ye Xianya say this, the Grand Elder and the others also sided with her.

They naturally believed their sect leader's words, not those of the demon race.

The sect leader is always reliable; he certainly wouldn't lie to them.

Ye Xianya truly didn't know how to restart the path to ascension.

But she doesn't think about that at all right now.

Once she regains her strength, she will naturally have the ability to uncover these secrets.

If Qi Chengshuo was indeed from the Upper Realm in his previous life, once his strength recovers to a certain level, he will not only be a great help to her, but he might also remember many things from the Upper Realm.

At that time, will we still have to worry about restarting the path to ascension?

Ye Xianya made a decision: from this day forward, she would personally guide Qi Chengshuo and strive to help him reach the pinnacle of cultivation as soon as possible.

"Sect Leader Ye, are you really not going to reconsider?" the White Ape Demon King asked somewhat unwillingly.

"White Ape Demon King, you crushed the jade talisman, yet the Demon Emperor didn't come to save you. What does this mean? It means that it doesn't care about the lives of you demon kings at all. It only uses you as pawns. Qi Chengshuo is most likely the nemesis of that elder of the Demon Emperor in the Upper Realm. It did this only to help its elder eliminate the enemy, not to restart the path to ascension. Don't be fooled by it," Ye Xianya said calmly.

The White Ape Demon King was taken aback upon hearing this, and remained silent for a long time.

"I, Ye Xianya, never lie. If I say I can restart the path to ascension, then I can. If you want to believe the Demon Emperor, then make your move. I will not give Qi Chengshuo to you." After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she directly summoned her weapon, the jade bone fan that she had obtained from the vengeful ghost a few days ago.

Upon seeing this, the White Ape Demon King instinctively took two steps back.

Although the demon kings were not present when it spoke to Ye Xianya, they were still in the mansion and naturally heard what it said.

The Azure Scale Demon King sent it a message, telling it to go back.

"Please allow us some time to discuss this," the White Ape Demon King said before leaving.

Back in the small courtyard by the gate, it saw that the faces of the demon kings were rather grim, and couldn't help but sigh, "They only have six people, while we have eight demon kings. If a fight really breaks out, we shouldn't suffer any losses, but I'm afraid that Ye Xianya has a backup plan."

“How about we return to the Qilin Mountains and report this to the Emperor? We’ve already found the person, and it would be easy for the Emperor to kill Qi Chengshuo. There’s no need for us to risk our lives,” said the Azure Scale Demon King.

The Red Scorpion Demon King and the Centipede Demon King are already dead; she has no intention of going to her death.

"I agree with the Azure Scale Demon King's suggestion. Let's return to the Qilin Mountain Range to pay our respects to the Emperor and ask for his instructions," the Teng Snake Demon King hurriedly said.

The other demon kings did not refute this.

The demons dared not stay and quickly departed.

"They're gone." Ye Xianya breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appearing on her face.

“Although these demon kings have left, the demon emperor is still in control behind them. We still need to be careful, especially you, sect leader. We will protect you here in the coming days!” Ren Zhaohui said.

Ye Xianya had told them to leave a few days ago, but he was worried and insisted on staying.

“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble you elders.” Ye Xianya did not refuse.

She herself isn't the problem; the main issue is Qi Chengshuo.

"Sect Master, I would like to inform the Supreme Elder and Sect Master Yue about this matter. What do you think?" Ren Zhaohui asked.

"Then report it, report it in detail." Ye Xianya did not make things difficult for him.

After the elders left, Ye Xianya went inside to see Qi Chengshuo.

He already knew everything that was happening outside.

Seeing that the man wasn't in a hurry at all and was still brewing and drinking tea, Ye Xianya didn't know what to say.

"Xianya, can you deduce my past life?" Qi Chengshuo placed the brewed tea in front of her and asked with a smile.

“It’s too blurry to see clearly, but…” Ye Xianya paused slightly, “I can see a little bit of the outline. The place where you live seems to be a palace floating in the clouds. That palace looks colorless, a bit like ice.”

Qi Chengshuo was taken aback upon hearing this.

"What's wrong? Did you remember something?" Ye Xianya asked quickly.

If that's true, then this person from the upper realm, after cultivating to the extreme, will definitely ascend, and there will be no tribulation of lightning. At that time, the path to ascension will surely open.

"No." Qi Chengshuo shook his head: "I just had a dream. In the dream, I entered a palace made of ice. The palace was floating in the clouds. On the throne in the hall sat a very beautiful young woman. She called my name and, when I wasn't paying attention... stabbed me in the chest with an ice-blue sword."

As Qi Chengshuo spoke, he reached out and covered his left chest: "It was right here, where my heart is. Even though I was in a dream, I could feel the sword piercing my heart, and the pain woke me up instantly."
