Liuli carried Ahua in her arms and walked behind Li Molin. Along the way, demons would occasionally get stuck in the mud. Although it wouldn't kill them, it would cause a lot of trouble. So Liuli became more and more careful as she walked, afraid that she would also get stuck in the mud and covered in mud.

The swamp was extremely vast. Liuli and Li Molin, along with other demons, entered from the east side of the swamp, while forty or fifty disciples of the Daoist sect and over a hundred monks of the Buddhist sect entered from the southeast and northeast directions respectively. These three groups proceeded forward in an almost straight line, slowly heading towards the center of the swamp.

Just as they were getting closer to the center of the swamp, four beams of light streaked across the sky, hovered over the swamp for a while, and landed in the demon camp.

When the light faded, the figures of four young men and women were revealed.

These four young men and women were representatives of three divine beast races. One of the men looked to be no more than twenty years old, with gentle features, dressed in white, and with silver hair that just reached his ears. As if afraid that his white clothes would be stained by the mud on the ground, his body was actually floating, about three inches above the ground.

The other man looked even younger, but was only eighteen or nineteen years old. He had a flamboyant expression, a carefree and unrestrained smile, and shoulder-length black hair that swayed gently in the wind.

The remaining two were women who looked somewhat alike. They appeared to be around twenty years old, and they were wearing identical red dresses with strands of crimson hair mixed in with their black hair.

The man in white bowed slightly, offering a graceful greeting. He smiled gently and said, "Ruize of the Qilin Clan greets Young Master Li."

The young man then spoke, smiling, "Long Mu of the Flood Dragon Clan greets Young Master Li."

The two women exchanged a glance and said in unison, "Phoenix Clan sisters Feng Ying and Feng Ling greet Young Master Li!"

Li Molin smiled faintly and returned the greeting, saying, "You gentlemen, there's no need to be so polite."

Rui Ze smiled and said, "The four of us came together for a rare treasure, and we have come here specifically to greet the young master."

Li Molin's expression shifted, and after a moment of contemplation, he said calmly, "Alright, the four of you may go and search for rare treasures. If any of them catch your eye, you are welcome to seize them."

Long Mu laughed heartily, cupped his hands, and said, "Then we thank you very much, young master!"

Li Molin nodded and said with a faint smile, "Please make yourselves at home."

The four divine beasts, including Ruizhe, responded and flew straight up towards the center of the swamp.

After they left, Li Molin gave a cold smile.

Yu Ke chuckled and said in a low voice, "These four have quite the ambition. Do they really think they can seize the treasure? They might as well submit to my demon race and maybe even gain some benefits."

Li Molin started walking forward again, saying calmly, "Let them be."

Liuli walked cautiously behind Li Molin, muttering to herself, "The Qilin Clan, the Flood Dragon Clan, and the Phoenix Clan have all emerged. Why doesn't Grandmother let our clansmen come out too? Fox Plains is so boring."

Li Molin casually replied, "Your grandmother is extremely cautious and would not easily reveal the Nine-Tailed Fox Clan to others, especially given the 'Fox Disaster' incident."

"What?" Liuli frowned, puzzled. "What 'Fox Tribulation' incident?"

As Li Molin walked forward, he turned to look at her and said, "Didn't your grandmother tell you this?"

"No." Liuli asked curiously, "Tell me, what is the 'Fox Tribulation' incident?"

Li Molin teased her on purpose, asking, "Do you really want to know?"

Liuli nodded, then said unhappily, "Of course I want to know since I asked you."

Li Molin smiled jokingly and said, "I'm not going to tell you!"

"Hmph!" Liuli said angrily, "You bastard! You stingy person! If you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me. I don't want to know anyway!"

Li Molin smiled silently, his eyebrows curving upwards.

Liuli and her demon companions trudged deeper and deeper into the swamp, traveling hundreds of miles until they reached the heart of the swamp.

As they walked forward, a faint demonic aura gradually began to permeate the air, confirming that the extraordinary treasure that had appeared was undoubtedly a demonic artifact. With the appearance of the demonic aura, the demons were immediately invigorated.

The demonic energy that began to permeate the outer edges of the swamp became even denser here, floating in the air like a thick black fog. Within this black fog, Liuli and Li Molin could only see about ten feet around them; beyond that, their vision became blurry.

"Coo coo coo..."

Suddenly a strange sound came from ahead, sounding like the sound of a pot of soup boiling.

Upon hearing this sound, Liuli, Li Molin, and the other demons paused in their tracks.

"Be careful, everyone!" After a pause, Li Molin shouted loudly and started walking forward again, but with even more caution.

They walked slowly forward for about a hundred feet when suddenly a murmur of whispers came from both sides.

Li Molin turned and gave Yu Ke a wink. Yu Ke understood and called over a demon, whispering an order to him.

The demon nodded and quietly flew into the air. He first flew to the left and disappeared into the thick black fog in the blink of an eye. Not long after, the demon reappeared above the demons, but then flew to the right again in an instant.

Soon, the demon flew back to the demon camp. He landed next to Li Molin and whispered, "Young Master, they are people from both the Buddhist and Taoist factions."

Li Molin nodded slightly and replied, "Okay."
