"Red Candle, you're such a coward! He can't attack you with magic right now, and he can't kill you with physical attacks either! What are you afraid of? He tells you to save people, so you save them? Where's your backbone as a demon?"

An old man dressed in black robes watched as Hongzhu treated a woman whose body was shrouded in demonic energy, and immediately glared angrily at Hongzhu.

"Black Robe, stop talking nonsense. Backbone? Can backbone put food on the table? Although magic power is restricted here, he can still slap me or cut me with a knife! I'm terribly afraid of pain! Rather than getting beaten up and then treating her with a bruised and swollen face, I'd rather skip that step and get to work."

Hongzhu said confidently.

"Black Robe, don't bother with that woman. When the gods forced us into the Chaos Abyss, our nine demon generals fought back fiercely, but that woman obediently surrendered. She's such a coward. You expect her to bring honor to our demon race? You're dreaming!"

A man dressed in a crimson robe spoke disdainfully.

Upon hearing this, the man in black robes said nothing more, but instead sat cross-legged on the ground and began to close his eyes to rest.

Chu Wanwan remained silent, watching intently as the demonic energy around Chu Lan gradually thinned, and as her eyes slowly turned from crimson to black, her tense heart finally relaxed.

After the demonic energy on Chu Lan's body completely disappeared, Chu Lan finally opened her eyes. She looked around at everything, a hint of confusion flashing in her eyes. Then, she saw Chu Wanwan, and her eyes immediately filled with joy.

"Wanwan! Is that you? Wanwan?"

"Yes, Mother, it's me, Wanwan. You've suffered so much!" Chu Wanwan looked at Chu Lan, her eyes reddening.

Chu Lan reached out and gently stroked Chu Wanwan's face, her eyes filled with affection. "Wanwan, it's good that you're alright. Since I came to the Immortal Realm and learned about the living conditions here, I've been trying every means to find you, afraid that you would be bullied! Now it seems that my daughter is much stronger than her mother. Her cultivation level is so high that even her mother can't see through it. You're truly amazing! You are really my pride!"

Chu Wanwan held Chu Lan's hand tightly, feeling the warmth of his maternal love, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.

"Mother, I've found my brothers and sisters-in-law and Uncle Si. Once things are settled here, we'll go back and reunite with them!"

"Okay! But where is this place? And who are these people?"

Chu Lan frowned as she looked at the scene before her.

"This is the Chaos Abyss. He is the Xuanwu Beast, and the others are the Ten Demon Generals of the Demon Clan. Mother, I still have some matters to attend to. I'll pull you into the space first. Si Mingye is injured and is also in the space. Please take care of him for me!"

After Chu Wanwan finished speaking, Chu Lan nodded, indicating that he would help take good care of Si Mingye, and then his figure disappeared from the spot.

"Hey! Xuanmo, I've helped you, so you can't beat me up again! Don't you righteous people always pride yourselves on keeping your word?" Hongzhu looked at Xuanmo nervously, afraid that Xuanwu would cause her trouble.

Xuan Mo glanced at her indifferently and nodded: "Don't worry, as long as you don't try anything funny, I won't make things difficult for you."

Hongzhu breathed a sigh of relief. "Don't worry, this seal forbids all magic. Even if we wanted to play any tricks, we wouldn't be able to!"

"Good to know!" Xuanwu said, and then flew out of the barrier with Chu Wanwan.

Chu Wanwan thought that saving her mother would definitely require a great battle, but she didn't expect it to be resolved so easily, and she immediately felt a sense of unreality.

"Xuanmo, I thought all demon generals were ruthless killers who did all sorts of evil, but I didn't expect Hongzhu to help so easily," Chu Wanwan couldn't help but exclaim.

Xuanmo chuckled softly, "Wanwan, not everything in this world is black and white. There are kind people among the demons, and there are malicious people among the righteous. Although Hongzhu is a demon, she is both righteous and evil. As long as she doesn't infringe on the fundamental interests of the demons, she can still be considered a good person."

"Of course, the main reason she tried to save you was because your mother was too weak. If it were you, it probably wouldn't have been so easy for her to save you..."

Chu Wanwan nodded upon hearing this.

“Xuanmo, we need you to join us in finding the Heavenly Stone to repair the passage between the Immortal Realm and the Divine Realm.”

Chu Wanwan said solemnly.

"No! I can't go! The seal that holds the Ten Demon Generals has become very fragile after tens of thousands of years. Although they can't do anything inside, if the demons attack the seal from the outside, it's very likely that the seal will be broken. If the Ten Demon Generals break free of the seal, the Six Realms will face a huge calamity. Therefore, I must stay here and reinforce the seal, just in case," Xuanwu refused.

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan frowned. Xuanwu was right; she couldn't disregard the safety of the Six Realms for her own sake.

"Do you know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Stone?"

"I don't know. Did you ask Tong Gujin to check the Immortal Realm for you?" Xuanmo asked.

"I've checked, the Heavenly Stone isn't in the Immortal Realm, and there's no way to find it throughout history!" Chu Wanwan shook her head helplessly.

“Then the task of finding the Heavenly Stone will become even more difficult,” Xuanmo said, frowning.

"You're saying the demons would attack the seal from the outside? If I remember correctly, the demons were also sealed in the Demon Realm by the gods and can't get out. How could the demons attack the seal?" Chu Wanwan asked doubtfully.

"I used the principles of Yin and Yang, the Five Elements, and the Eight Trigrams to reverse the chaotic energy, creating a chaotic storm. The main reason for this was to prevent large numbers of demons from appearing from time to time. The seal in the Demon Realm is different from here. The Demon Realm is vast, and there are many places where the seal is loose. Some demons with high cultivation can escape from these loosened seals. Therefore, it is necessary to have powerful guardians who are always vigilant to prevent demons from breaking the seal," Xuanwu explained.

"I see!" Chu Wanwan pondered for a moment after hearing this and continued, "Do you have a way to seriously injure those people inside?"

“No! There’s a limiting array inside set up by the gods to prevent the demon generals from breaking through the seal. Any magic power will be rendered ineffective inside. As for physical attacks, with the demons’ powerful self-healing ability, they can’t seriously injure them at all; they can only make them feel some pain,” Xuanmo said, shaking his head.

Upon hearing this, Chu Wanwan fell into deep thought. She understood that resolving the current problem would not be easy. The whereabouts of the Heavenly Stone were unknown, and the Demon Clan could break the seal at any moment; the situation was indeed dire.

"Is there any way we can reinforce the seal?" Chu Wanwan asked anxiously.

“Your power is insufficient. I can reinforce it, but after tens of thousands of years, the seal is too fragile. I can barely maintain the seal here, and it is impossible to reinforce the entire seal covering such a vast area as the Demon Realm.”

Perhaps in a few thousand years, the seal will collapse, and then another great war between immortals and demons will likely erupt!

Xuanmo sighed.

Chu Wanwan remained silent for a moment after hearing this. This reality made her realize that the situation was more complicated than she had imagined. She had originally thought that finding the Heavenly Stone would solve the problem, but now it seemed that even if she found the Heavenly Stone, there were still many more challenges waiting for her.

"What should we do? The whereabouts of the Heavenly Stone are unknown, and the seal may collapse at any time. We seem to be in a dilemma," Chu Wanwan said with some worry.
