In the Demon Realm, Qingcheng and Lord Hongyan had already prepared their army and were planning to go to the Demon Realm to rescue Qiyou. However, just as their large group was about to set off, they received bad news: a large family in the Demon Realm, the Snake Clan, was about to rebel!

"What?! The snake clan?! Damn it, could they have also sided with the Two-Headed Water Dragon?!"

Upon learning this news, Qingcheng was both anxious and furious. He was very worried about Qiyou's safety, but at the same time, he was extremely angry about the snake clan's betrayal!

The snake clan has always been considered a relatively peaceful demon clan. Their patriarch took over the position during Qingcheng's grandfather's generation and has always shown great respect for the demon king clan. Therefore, no one in Qingcheng's generation has ever suspected the snake clan of having any ulterior motives.

It was truly unexpected that a race so trusted by Qingcheng would choose to betray her at this crucial moment, launching a large-scale rebellion, which greatly surprised the entire demon realm.

The snake clan first led the rebel army into the demon king's palace, and then fought their way to Qingcheng. Qingcheng looked at the very old snake clan chief with surprise, and he said with disappointment, "Elder Snake, I really didn't expect you to betray me."

"Hehe~ Little peacock, there are many things you can't imagine~" The old snake chieftain said smugly, "You didn't expect this, did you? I've endured humiliation for so many years, pretending with your grandfather, your father, and you for so long, and finally I have a chance to turn things around!"

Hearing his words, Qingcheng naturally understood that all these years, this old man had been pretending to be a coward. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Hmph~ You've really had a hard time, pretending for so many years. But I still want to know, after pretending for so many years, why didn't you continue to pretend? Why did you choose to rebel at this time? Why did you have to rebel now of all times?"

The old snake clan chief, dressed in a long, black robe embroidered with strange patterns, sneered with his cloudy eyes: "Heh~ Little peacock, do you really think that the snake clan has been afraid to touch you all these years because we're afraid of your peacock clan? If it weren't for that stinky phoenix leaving you with that phoenix essence blood, we wouldn't have had to pretend for so long. But now we know that that brat Greed Wolf has stolen that phoenix essence blood, so there's no need to keep pretending."

Qingcheng had already concealed the fact that the Phoenix Essence Blood was missing, so when she heard that the Snake Clan also knew that the Phoenix Essence Blood was missing, she became even more certain that the Snake Clan had now made contact with the Two-Headed Water Flood Dragon. Otherwise, in the Demon Realm, apart from Tanlang and the Two-Headed Water Flood Dragon, there would be no one else who could leak information to the Snake Clan.

"Old Snake, what benefits did the Two-Headed Water Dragon offer you to make you side with him? You should know that he has already offended the people of the God Realm. You will not have a good end if you follow him."

Qingcheng stood in the middle of the hall, coldly watching the snake demons around him. In fact, he was not afraid at all when the snake clan attacked, because he had the great god Hongyan Divine Lord by his side.

Although he also had an army behind him preparing to go to the Demon Realm, they were still no match for Lord Hongyan.

The moment the old snake patriarch entered, Lord Hongyan was already standing beside Qingcheng, protecting her. However, he did not utter a sound, but simply stood silently by her side.

Looking at the rebels, Qingcheng, who was worried about Qiyou's safety, did not want to fight them at all, but she had no choice but to fight, because she could not set off to rescue Qiyou if she did not win. So Qingcheng had no choice but to lead her army to fight the rebels.

Meanwhile, in the Demon Realm, Qi You, who needed to be rescued by Qingcheng, was on the verge of death. After hiding for so long, he was finally discovered by the people of the Demon Realm and continued to be hunted down.

The people leading the pursuit of Qi You were Tan Lang and a witch. The witch was wearing a black robe, a cloak, a hat, and a mask. She was completely covered up, making it impossible to see her face.

The witch's eyes were filled with ruthless indifference, as if she were a killing machine. She and Tanlang had separated, and she was leading a team of demon soldiers to search for Qiyou. Qiyou, who had just hidden in the Demon Realm's Black Forest, was now hiding in fear and anxiety.

"Shhh~"

Suddenly, Qi You heard some strange noises. He was currently on a giant tree, and because he was afraid of being easily captured, this guy had actually climbed the tree.

The sound didn't come from the ground, but from the tree. Qi You lay on the tree, not daring to move, and could only carefully turn her head and eyes to find the source of the sound.

All that could be seen in the upper left of Qiyou was a strangely shaped beast. It had a human face with only one large eye on its forehead, an unusually large nose and mouth, and a body like a gecko, about a meter long. It had four limbs and could climb trees, and a flat tail that dragged vertically behind it.

The strange sound just now was the sound of the beast climbing the tree. It had already spotted Qi You and was now slowly climbing towards him.

Qi You felt a chill run down his spine at the sight of the monster. He wanted to get away from it, but he dared not make any sudden movements for fear of attracting the pursuers. So he could only slowly move his body, trying to leave the tree and find another place to hide from the pursuers.

As he moved, the monster moved with him, getting closer and closer to Qi You. When Qi You saw their current distance, he knew this wouldn't do. He wondered if the monster wanted to eat him. He was afraid that instead of dying at Tan Lang's hands, he would become the monster's meal.
